Inflationary Dilatonic de Sitter Universe from cal N = 4 Super Yang - Mills Theory Perturbed by Scalars

Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)

description: In this paper a quantum N = 4 super Yang-Mills theory perturbed by dilaton-coupled scalars, is considered. The induced effective action for such a theory is calculated on a dilaton-gravitational background using the conformal anomaly found via AdS/CFT correspondence. Considering such an effective action (using the large N method) as a quantum correction to the classical gravity action with cosmological constant we study the effect from dilaton to the scale factor (which corresponds to the inflationary universe without dilaton). It is shown that, depending on the initial conditions for the dilaton, the dilaton may slow down, or accelerate, the inflation process. At late times, the dilaton is decaying exponentially. At the end of this work, we consider the question how the perturbation of the solution for the scale factor affects the stability of the solution for the equations of motion and therefore the stability of the Inflationary Universe, which could be eternal.

description: The tourism industry is characterized by severe shifts in demand that play havoc with forecasting future investment. Within the tourism industry, the need for large-scale initial capital investment in the hotel sector, make the latter particularly vulnerable to the vagaries of the tourism market. Given an up-turn in demand, the hotel industry cannot always re-spond immediately and its' response is likely to vary across regions. There is therefore a need for a forecasting tool that can estimate the magnitude of the demand 'push' that can stimulate the hotel sector into new investment and the extent to which this response is re-gionally differentiated. Using a multi-regional input output (MRIO) augmented by an in-vestment matrix, this paper demonstrates the capabilities of such an approach. Regional ho-tel industry outputs for four classes of hotels in the six regions of Israel are estimated. Ex-pected regional rates of return to hotel investment are compared with actual (reported) rates of return and the discrepancy between the two explained. Regional hotel (per room) capaci-ty coefficients are also estimated and regional responses to an increase in demand of 100,000 extra tourists are calculated in terms of additional hotel rooms and capital investment.

description: The disk galaxy simulated using our chemo-dynamical galaxy formation code, GCD+, is shown to have a thick disk component. This is evidenced by the velocity dispersion versus age relation for solar neighbourhood stars, which clearly shows an abrupt increase in velocity dispersion at lookback time of approximately 8 Gyrs, and is in excellent agreement with observation. These thick disk stars are formed from gas which is accreted to the galaxy during a chaotic period of hierarchical clustering at high redshift. This formation scenario is shown to be consistent with observations of both the Milky Way and extragalactic thick disks.

description: Volumetric video is an emerging key technology for immersive representation of 3D spaces and objects. Rendering volumetric video requires lots of computational power which is challenging especially for mobile devices. To mitigate this, we developed a streaming system that renders a 2D view from the volumetric video at a cloud server and streams a 2D video stream to the client. However, such network-based processing increases the motion-to-photon (M2P) latency due to the additional network and processing delays. In order to compensate the added latency, prediction of the future user pose is necessary. We developed a head motion prediction model and investigated its potential to reduce the M2P latency for different look-ahead times. Our results show that the presented model reduces the rendering errors caused by the M2P latency compared to a baseline system in which no prediction is performed.

description: Many resort communities in the U.S. Rocky Mountain West are experiencing rapid in-migration and growth because the natural and built amenities in those areas attracted people and investment. This study uses an agent-based model to explore how homeowners’ invest-ment and reinvestment decisions are influenced by the level of investment and amenities available in their neighborhoods in a case study area of town of Breckenridge, Colorado to help understand the dynamics and the indirect spatial impacts of amenity-led mountain tour-ism development. This paper found that individual level of appreciation of amenities and continuing investment in a neighborhood attracted investment and reinvestment, and created pressure for high density resort housing development at the aggregate level. Agent-based model is a useful tool to simulate the dynamics behind the housing investment and reinvestment and to investigate the indirect spatial effects of high-density resort development.

description: Background: Common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) is the most common clinically significant primary immunodeficiency (PID) disorder characterized by variable clinical manifestations including recurrent infections, autoimmune disorders, enteropathy, lymphoproliferative disorders, and malignancy. The aim of this study is to estimate the overall prevalence of malignancy in patients with CVID. Methods: PubMed, Web of Science and Scopus were searched systemically to find eligible studies from the earliest available date to March 2019 with standard keywords. Pooled estimates of the malignancy prevalence and the corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated using random effects models. Results: Forty-eight studies with a total of 8123 CVID patients met the inclusion criteria and were finally included in the meta-analysis. Overall prevalence of malignancy was 8.6% (95% CI: 7.1–10.0; I2 = 79.2%). The prevalence of lymphoma, gastric cancer, and breast cancer in CVID patients were 4.1% (95% CI: 3.3–4.9; I2 = 62.6%), 1.5% (95% CI: 0.78–2.2; I2 = 68.9%), and 1.3% (95% CI: 0.64–1.9; I2 = 54.9%), respectively. Moreover, autoimmunity and malabsorption were more frequent in patients with malignancy than those without malignancy. Conclusion: The prevalence of malignancy has increased in CVID patients due to recent improvement in survival rate and the lymphoma is the most common type. This research highlighted the significance of malignancy screening and management in CVID patients.

description: Counterfactual Thinking is a human cognitive ability studied in a wide variety of domains. It captures the process of reasoning about a past event that did not occur, namely what would have happened had this event occurred, or, otherwise, to reason about an event that did occur but what would ensue had it not. Given the wide cognitive empowerment of counterfactual reasoning in the human individual, the question arises of how the presence of individuals with this capability may improve cooperation in populations of self-regarding individuals. Here we propose a mathematical model, grounded on Evolutionary Game Theory, to examine the population dynamics emerging from the interplay between counterfactual thinking and social learning (i.e., individuals that learn from the actions and success of others) whenever the individuals in the population face a collective dilemma. Our results suggest that counterfactual reasoning fosters coordination in collective action problems occurring in large populations, and has a limited impact on cooperation dilemmas in which coordination is not required. Moreover, we show that a small prevalence of individuals resorting to counterfactual thinking is enough to nudge an entire population towards highly cooperative standards.

Beyond the Resort Life Cycle: The Micro-Dynamics of Destination Tourism

description: The model described in this paper combines a set of discrete investment and policy choices to explain a continuing process of resort-level change in response to competition through globalization. It shows how the stages of growth, as defined by Butler’s resort life-cycle model, are the result of a combination of elements, the public policy and investor mindset, the scale of investment and transnational involvement. Four elements come to-gether in the formal model; lumpiness of investment, delays in marketing and construction, distribution of expenditures between the local and overseas components of tourism, and scale-related economies and constraints. Despite the relative simplicity of the model equa-tions the range of results is wide, varying from slow to very rapid take-off, to continuing long-run growth to early overshoot and decline. The model exhibits a variety of growth cha-racteristics that reflect the growth stages of the life cycle model, as well as other phenomena, such as stepped growth and cycles. The paper uses the historic growth paths of Aruba and Barbados, both small open island tourism-based economies in the Caribbean – but exhibit-ing contrasting tourist accommodation and tourism policy – as stylized examples. The paper explains how other exogenous and endogenous variables, such as global competition and carrying capacity, enter into the basic equations and concludes with a summary of the de-terminants of characteristic pathologies of tourist destinations.

description: The use of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEI) and angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARB) in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) given their interaction with the angiotensin-converting enzyme-2 (ACE-2) receptor remains controversial. . To investigate the impact of ACEI/ARB on COVID-19 disease severity and mortality through a systematic review and meta-analysis. We searched PubMed and CINAHL databases as well as pre-print servers for studies investigating usage of ACEIs/ARBs in patients with COVID-19 compared to a control group of COVID-19 patients without ACEI/ARB use. COVID-19 related severity of disease, and death were identified as end points. Pooled odds ratios (OR) and their 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated using random-effects model. 21 studies were included in the meta-analysis. For mortality with ACEI/ARB use, the pooled odds ratio was 1.29 [0.89–1.87] p = 0.18 with heterogeneity of 91%, while the pooled OR for COVID-19 severity was 0.94 [0.59–1.50] p = 0.81 with heterogeneity of 89% (Figure 2). In combining both mortality and severe disease outcomes, the pooled odds ratio was 1.09 [0.80–1.48] p = 0.58 but with heterogeneity of 92%. Even on pooled analysis of both un-adjusted data, adjusted data(studies with matched controls) and taking into account factors such as risk of bias of studies via meta regression and sensitivity analyses, the results hold true that ACEI/ARB use is not associated with COVID-19 disease severity or mortality. To look for any potential beneficial effects, randomized controlled trials are needed. use of ACEI/ARB was not associated with increased mortality or severe COVID-19.

Remarks. Cylindrophis lineatus was described by Blanford (1881) from a specimen he received from Dennys at the Raffles Museum. The specimen was believed to have been captured in Singapore and this was given as the type locality. In some hitherto overlooked newspaper articles written by Dennys (1880a, 1880 b, 1881b), he reported on a second specimen of C. lineatus in his possession at the Raffles Museum (now lost), and unintentionally named and described the species before Blanford (1881). These articles have recently been analysed (Figueroa & Low 2021) and the correct authority and date of publication of Cylindrophis lineatus is Dennys (1880b). The type locality as Singapore was questioned going back to Boulenger (1912), and Figueroa & Low (2021) demonstrated that C. lineatus is endemic to Borneo and designated Borneo as the type locality.

Implications of Human Capital Public Investments for Regional Unemployment in Indiana

Subjects: Community/Rural/Urban Development

description: This study investigates the effect of human capital investments - public expenditures for education, training and employment - on the regional unemployment in the counties of Indiana. Using county-level data for the year of 2000 and spatial econometric techniques, the unemployment rate equation is estimated taking into account the spatial dependence of regional labor markets conditions, while controlling for the industry mix, education at-tainment, wages, net commuting, unemployment insurance benefits and human capital public investments. The results show that the county-level applied human capital invest-ments can be a policy that decreases the regional unemployment rate. Evaluated at the sample mean value of net commuting rate of -0.15, the regional unemployment rate is ex-pected to decrease by 0.33 percentage point with a ten million dollars human capital in-vestment in a county. The greatest impact of human capital investments is in counties with very low net commuting rates. A county with minimum commuting benefits more from human capital investments than a county with maximum commuting: a ten million dollars investment in human capital in the region is expected to decrease the regional unemploy-ment rate by 0.46 and 0.10 percentage point respectively.

In a subsequent paper these results will serve as a point of departure for a statistical mechanical derivation of entropy using quantum geometry.

description: We analyze the structure of multiloop supergraphs contributing to the effective Lagrangians in 4d supersymmetric gauge theories and in the models obtained from them by dimensional reduction. When d=4, this gives the renormalization of the effective charge. For d < 4, the low-energy effective Lagrangian describes the metric on the moduli space of classical vacua. These two problems turn out to be closely related. In particular, we establish the relationship between the 4d nonrenormalization theorems (in minimal and extended supersymmetric theories) and their low--dimensional counterparts.

description: We present a continuous, narrow-linewidth, tunable laser system that outputs up to 14.0 W at 770 nm. The light is generated by frequency doubling 18.8 W of light from a 1540 nm fiber amplifier that is seeded by a single mode diode laser achieving >74% conversion efficiency. We utilize a Lithium Triborate Crystal in an enhancement ring cavity. The low intensity noise and narrow linewidth of the 770 nm output are suitable for cold atom experiments.

description: Objectives: Remdesivir has shown promise in the management of patients with COVID-19 although recent studies have shown concerns with its effectiveness in practice. Despite this there is a need to document potential adverse drug events (ADEs) to guide future decisions as limited ADE data available before the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: Interrogation of WHO VigiBase® from 2015 to 2020 coupled with published studies of ADEs in COVID-19 patients. The main outcome measures are the extent of ADEs broken down by factors including age, seriousness, region and organ. Results: A total 1086 ADEs were reported from the 439 individual case reports up to July 19, 2020, in the VigiBase®, reduced to 1004 once duplicates were excluded. Almost all ADEs concerned COVID-19 patients (92.5%), with an appreciable number from the Americas (67.7%). The majority of ADEs were from males > 45 years and were serious (82.5%). An increase in hepatic enzymes (32.1%), renal injury (14.4%), rise in creatinine levels (11.2%), and respiratory failure (6.4%) were the most frequently reported ADEs. Conclusions: Deterioration of liver and kidney function are frequently observed ADEs with remdesivir; consequently, patients should be monitored for these ADEs. The findings are in line with ADEs included in regulatory authority documents.

description: The electron-electron Coulomb interaction in Dirac-Weyl semimetals harbours a novel paradigm of correlation effects that hybridizes diverse realms of solid-state physics with their relativistic counterpart. Driving spontaneous mass acquisition, the excitonic condensate of strongly-interacting massless Dirac fermions is one such example whose exact nature remains debated. Here, by focussing on the two-dimensional tilted Dirac cones in the organic salt $α$-(BEDT-TTF)$_2$I$_3$, we show that the excitonic instability is controlled by a small chemicalpotential shift and an in-plane magnetic field. In combined analyses based on renormalization-group approaches and ladder approximation, we demonstrate that the nuclear relaxation rate is an excellent probe of excitonic-spin fluctuations in an extended parameter region. Comparative nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) experiments show good agreements with this result, jointly revealing the importance of intervalley nesting between field-induced, spin-split Fermi pockets of opposite charge polarities. Our work provides an accurate framework to search for excitonic instability of strongly-interacting massless fermions.

description: We propose Moebius maps as a tool to model synchronization phenomena in coupled phase oscillators. Not only does the map provide fast computation of phase synchronization, it also reflects the underlying group structure of the sinusoidally coupled continuous phase dynamics. We study map versions of various known continuous-time collective dynamics, such as the synchronization transition in the Kuramoto-Sakaguchi model of non-identical oscillators, chimeras in two coupled populations of identical phase oscillators, and Kuramoto-Battogtokh chimeras on a ring, and demonstrate similarities and differences between the iterated map models and their known continuous-time counterparts.

High-Resolution Near Infrared Spectroscopy of HD~100546: IV. Orbiting Companion Disappears on Schedule

description: HD~100546 is a Herbig Ae/Be star surrounded by a disk with a large central region that is cleared of gas and dust (i.e., an inner hole). High-resolution near-infrared spectroscopy reveals a rich emission spectrum of fundamental ro-vibrational CO emission lines whose time variable properties point to the presence of an orbiting companion within the hole. The Doppler shift and spectroastrometric signal of the CO v=1-0 P26 line, observed from 2003 to 2013, are consistent with a source of excess CO emission that orbits the star near the inner rim of the disk. The properties of the excess emission are consistent with those of a circumplanetary disk. In this paper, we report follow up observations that confirm our earlier prediction that the orbiting source of excess emission would disappear behind the near side of the inner rim of the outer disk in 2017. We find that while the hotband CO lines remained unchanged in 2017, the v=1-0 P26 line and its spectroastrometric signal returned to the profile observed in 2003. With these new observations, we further constrain the origin of the emission and discuss possible ways of confirming the presence of an orbiting planetary companion in the inner disk.

description: Three-dimensional mathematical model of hydrogen release, dispersion and detonation is developed. The process is described by gas dynamics differential equations completed by conservation laws of mixture components. It is assumed that instantaneous explosion takes place in the volume where hydrogen concentration is between the ignition limits. The model takes into account turbulent diffusion and an influence of excess air ratio on combustion products parameters. Predicted detonation history and spatial overpressure distribution is used to estimate the effec- tiveness of different types of safety facilities mitigating negative effects of explosion of hydrogen released as a re- sult of instantaneous destruction of high pressure cylinders at fueling station.

description: We studied the drag resistivity between dilute two-dimensional hole systems, near the apparent metal-insulator transition. We find the deviations from the $T^{2}$ dependence of the drag to be independent of layer spacing and correlated with the metalliclike behavior in the single layer resistivity, suggesting they both arise from the same origin. In addition, layer spacing dependence measurements suggest that while the screening properties of the system remain relatively independent of temperature, they weaken significantly as the carrier density is reduced. Finally, we demonstrate that the drag itself significantly enhances the metallic $T$ dependence in the single layer resistivity.

Remarks. All of the publications listed in the chresynonymy report B. candidus as occurring in Singapore but none list any material or specific source for the record. We have also not been able to find any earlier references to B. candidus from Singapore and no specimens exist in museum collections. We suspect inclusion of B. candidus into Singapore’s herpetofauna checklist may stem from confusion with B. fasciatus. A piece of shed skin found at Pulau Tekong in 2002 is said to be of B. candidus, but was not confirmed (K.K.P. Lim unpub. data). Bungarus candidus is distributed from Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam south to Peninsular Malaysia, and Bawean, Bali, Java, Karimunjawa, and Sumatra in Indonesia (Wallach et al. 2014).

Results by Bernreuther and Brandenburg are confirmed and further reduced. The lepton energy asymmetry is studied in detail in explicit Two-Higgs-Doublet Models with near-maximal mixing in the neutral Higgs sector. Unless there is only one light Higgs particle, and unless (in Model II) tanbeta \lsim 1, the CP-violating effects are very small, possibly too small to be seen at the LHC.
