description: Analytic solution for the average path length in a large class of random graphs is found. We apply the approach to classical random graphs of Erdös and Rényi (ER) and to scale-free networks of Barabási and Albert (BA). In both cases our results confirm previous observations: small world behavior in classical random graphs $l_{ER} \sim \ln N$ and ultra small world effect characterizing scale-free BA networks $l_{BA} \sim \ln N/\ln\ln N$. In the case of scale-free random graphs with power law degree distributions we observed the saturation of the average path length in the limit of $N\to\infty$ for systems with the scaling exponent $2< α<3$ and the small-world behaviour for systems with $α>3$.

Interpretations of the NuTeV $\sin^2 θ_W$

description: We summarize theoretical explanations of the three $σ$ discrepancy between $\sin^2 θ_W$ measured by NuTeV and predicted by the Standard Model global fit. Possible new physics explanations ({\it e.g.} an unmized $Z'$) are not compelling. The discrepancy would be reduced by a positive momentum asymmetry $s^-$ in the strange sea; present experimental estimates of $s^-$ are unreliable or incomplete. Upgrading the NuTeV analysis to NLO would alleviate concerns that the discrepancy is a QCD effect.

description: Subject-verb agreement mismatches have been reported in the L2 and heritage literature, usually involving infinitives, analyzed as default morphological forms for fully specified T-heads. This article explores the mechanisms behind these mismatches, testing two hypotheses: the default form and the surface-similarity hypotheses. It compares non-finite and finite S-V mismatches with subjects with different persons, testing whether similarity with other paradigmatic forms makes them more acceptable, controlling for the role of verb frequency. Participants were asked to rate sentences on a Likert scale that included (a) infinitive forms with first, second and third person subjects, and (b) third person verbal forms with first, second and third person subjects. Two stem-stressed verbs (e.g., tra.j-o ‘brought.3p.past’) and two affix-stressed verbs (e.g., me.ti-o ‘introduced.3p.past’), varying in frequency were tested. Inflectional affixes of stem-stressed verbs are similar to other forms of the paradigm both phonologically and in being unstressed (tra.j-o ‘brought.3p.past’ vs. trai.g-o ‘bring.1 p.pres’), whereas affixes of affix-stressed verbs have dissimilar stress patterns (me.ti-o ´introduced.3p.past’ vs. me.t-o ‘introduce.1p.pres’). Results show significantly higher acceptability for finite vs. non-finite non-matching, and for 1st vs. 2nd person subjects. Stem-stressed verbs showed higher acceptability ratings than affix-stressed ones, suggesting a role for surface-form correspondence, partially confirming previous findings

description: From 23 - 27 July 2001 in the Institute of Nuclear Research and Nuclear Energy, Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, Sofia was held a seminar under the title: "Possible correlations between electromagnetic earth fields and future earthquakes" organized by the Institute's Department of "Astrophysical Objects and Environment". As a main result of the first two days seminar work was the prediction of the direction and the day of the Skyros, Greece earthquake, that was confirned in the next day: Aeg. Sea, 07/26 00:21:37, 39.06N 24.34E, Depth 19 km, Mag 6.3- http://www.noa.gr/English/home-en.html. Analogously, a month later the day of Yambol, Bulgaria eartquake was predicted. The papers of A.M.Galper et al (2001), "High- energy charged particle flux variations in vicinity of Earth as earthquakes precursors", http://www.pereplet.ru/pops/quakes.html, and http://science.rambler.ru/db/msg.html?mid=1168269&uri=galper.html, the analysis of NASA data from http://www.sel.noaa.gov, explained why the Seminar main hypothesis works and give an optimism the combined earth and satellite monitoring for earthquakes "prediction" will succeed this time. The authors are looking forward and waiting with respect for opinions, suggestions, and possible collaboration.

description: We give an explicit description, in terms of bracket, anchor, and pairing, of the standard cochain complex associated to a Courant algebroid. In this formulation, the differential satisfies a formula that is formally identical to the Cartan formula for the de Rham differential. This perspective allows us to develop the theory of Courant algebroid connections in a way that mirrors the classical theory of connections. Using a special class of connections, we construct secondary characteristic classes associated to any Courant algebroid.

description: We use hydrodynamic simulations to examine how the baryonic components of galaxies are assembled, focusing on the relative importance of mergers and smooth accretion in the formation of ~L_* systems. In our primary simulation, which models a (50\hmpc)^3 comoving volume of a Lambda-dominated cold dark matter universe, the space density of objects at our (64-particle) baryon mass resolution threshold, M_c=5.4e10 M_sun, corresponds to that of observed galaxies with L~L_*/4. Galaxies above this threshold gain most of their mass by accretion rather than by mergers. At the redshift of peak mass growth, z~2, accretion dominates over merging by about 4:1. The mean accretion rate per galaxy declines from ~40 M_sun/yr at z=2 to ~10 M_sun/yr at z=0, while the merging rate peaks later (z~1) and declines more slowly, so by z=0 the ratio is about 2:1. We cannot distinguish truly smooth accretion from merging with objects below our mass resolution threshold, but extrapolating our measured mass spectrum of merging objects, dP/dM ~ M^a with a ~ -1, implies that sub-resolution mergers would add relatively little mass. The global star formation history in these simulations tracks the mass accretion rate rather than the merger rate. At low redshift, destruction of galaxies by mergers is approximately balanced by the growth of new systems, so the comoving space density of resolved galaxies stays nearly constant despite significant mass evolution at the galaxy-by-galaxy level. The predicted merger rate at z

description: As social media becomes an increasingly integral part of the present-day social landscape, its influence on individuals with developing or shifting identities, particularly those with high BPD features, warrant further examination. While the past decade has seen an increase in research regarding online social interactions and the digital world, few studies have investigated the association of BPD pathology and rejection via social media and other online settings among emerging adults. Fewer still have explored the impact this experience of online rejection may have on subsequent social media engagement, and no research thus far has considered the impact of online rejection on those with high features of identity disturbance and BPD pathology in relation to social media engagement. The current study aimed to evaluate how individuals with high features of borderline personality pathology, specifically, identity disturbance, experience social rejection in an online group chat setting (Richmond et al., 2020) and the impact the online rejection has on their subsequent affective lability and engagement with social media. Participants (n = 109) completed a battery of self-report measures used to assess personality traits, behavior, and mood, followed by participation in an online group chat task with random assignment to either a social rejection or social inclusion condition. Mood state post-interaction and subsequent social media use were assessed. Unexpectedly, a significant positive relation between identity disturbance and negative affect was found in the inclusion condition, rather than the rejection condition of the task. This indicates that individuals with higher levels of identity disturbance might experience increased negative affect when included in an online social interaction. Although no significant results were found regarding the anticipated exacerbation of negative affect for individuals with high BPD features, or changes in social media engagement following online rejection among those with high identity disturbance and BPD features, the implications of identity disturbance in the context of social inclusion present novel insights for further investigation.

description: Parton distributions given by deep inelastic lepton scattering (DIS) are not equal to the probabilities of finding those partons in the parent wave function. Soft rescattering of the struck parton within the coherence length of the hard process influences the DIS cross section and gives dynamical phases to the scattering amplitudes. This gives rise to diffractive DIS, shadowing in nuclear targets and transverse spin asymmetry.

description: A pulse of light, injected into a weakly disordered dielectric medium, typically, will leave its initial location in a short time, by diffusion. However, due to some rare configurations of disorder, there is a possibility of formation of high quality resonators which can trap light for a long time. We present a rather detailed, quantitative study of such random resonators and of the "almost localized" states that they can support. After presenting a brief review of the earlier work on the subject, we concentrate on a detailed computation of the "prefactor": knowledge of the latter is crucial for varifying the viability of the random rasonators and their areal density. Both short range disorder (white noise) and correlated disorder are studied, and the important effect of the correlation radius, $R_c$, on the probability of formation of resonators with a given quality factor $Q$ is discussed. The random resonators are "self-formed", in the sense that no sharp features (like Mie scatterers or other "resonant entities") are introduced: our model is a featureless dielectric medium with fluctuating dielectric constant. We point out the relevance of the random resonators to the recently discovered phenomenon of coherent "random" lasing and review the existing work on that subject. We emphasize, however, that the random resonators exist already in the {\em passive} medium: gain is only needed to "make them visible".

description: The objective of this study is to explain the factors determining the demand for wine in Australia, based on a systems approach where wine demand is modelled as part of the broader demand for alcoholic drinks (beer, wine and spirits). Time series data on retail price indexes and apparent per capita consumption of alcoholic beverages for Australia for the period 1975/76 to 1998/99 are used for econometric estimation of an Almost Ideal Demand System. The results show that the demand for beer and wine is price inelastic and that both beer and wine are luxury goods. The study also found that current beer and wine consumption strongly follows past consumption patterns. Drink driving campaigns have not had a significant effect on alcoholic consumption, but there seems to have been a structural change in consumer preferences that has had a significant impact on the volume of wine consumption. Finally, there seems to have been an overall upward trend in wine consumption and a downward trend for beer consumption. The study re-confirms the importance of developing a model that considers the impacts of both economic and non-economic variables on wine consumption. Implications for wine industry marketing strategies are suggested.

Convective and Rotational Stability of a Dilute Plasma
Creators: name: Balbus, Steven A.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2001
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The stability of a dilute plasma to local convective and rotational disturbances is examined. A subthermal magnetic field and finite thermal conductivity along the field lines are included in the analysis. Stability criteria similar in form to the classical Høiland inequalities are found, but with angular velocity gradients replacing angular momentum gradients, and temperature gradients replacing entropy gradients. These criteria are indifferent to the properties of the magnetic field and to the magnitude of the thermal conductivity. Angular velocity gradients and temperature gradients are both free energy sources; it is not surprising that they are directly relevant to the stability of the gas. Magnetic fields and thermal conductivity provide the means by which these sources can be tapped. Previous studies have generally been based upon the classical Høiland criteria, which are inappropriate for magnetized, dilute astrophysical plasmas. In sharp contrast to recent claims in the literature, the new stability criteria demonstrate that marginal flow stability is not a fundamental property of accreting plasmas thought to be associated with low luminosity X-ray sources.

description: Due to the dominant role of household animal raising in China’s animal production, an improved understanding of household animal raising practices is essential to study China’s feedgrain markets. It is also noted that the level of local economic development affects animal raising practices and the development of feedgrain markets. This paper reports the findings from a rural household survey we conducted in a developed coastal province of China. It was specially designed to examine issues related to household animal raising practices such as animal raising scale, sources of feed, feed processing and feeding efficiency in a developed area. Discussed also are the implications that the findings have for China’s regional feedgrain markets.

description: Multiorbital systems such as the iron-based superconductors provide a new avenue to attack the longstanding problem of superconductivity in strongly correlated systems. In this work we study the superconductivity driven by a generic bosonic mechanism in a multiorbital model including the full dynamical electronic correlations induced by the Hubbard U and the Hund's coupling. We show that superconductivity survives much more in a Hund's metal than in an ordinary correlated metal with the same degree of correlation. The crucial role of the redistribution of spectral weight in the Hund's metal reflects also in the enhancement of the orbital-selective character of the superconducting gaps, in agreement with experiments in iron-based superconductors.

description: We examine the Liouvillian approach to the quantum Hall plateau transition, as introduced recently by Sinova, Meden, and Girvin [Phys. Rev. B {\bf 62}, 2008 (2000)] and developed by Moore, Sinova and Zee [Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 87}, 046801 (2001)]. We show that, despite appearances to the contrary, the Liouvillian approach is not specific to the quantum mechanics of particles moving in a single Landau level: we formulate it for a general disordered single-particle Hamiltonian. We next examine the relationship between Liouvillian perturbation theory and conventional calculations of disorder-averaged products of Green functions and show that each term in Liouvillian perturbation theory corresponds to a specific contribution to the two-particle Green function. As a consequence, any Liouvillian approximation scheme may be re-expressed in the language of Green functions. We illustrate these ideas by applying Liouvillian methods, including their extension to $N_L > 1$ Liouvillian flavors, to random matrix ensembles, using numerical calculations for small integer $N_L$ and an analytic analysis for large $N_L$. We find that behavior at $N_L > 1$ is different in qualitative ways from that at $N_L=1$. In particular, the $N_L = \infty$ limit expressed using Green functions generates a pathological approximation, in which two-particle correlation functions fail to factorize correctly at large separations of their energy, and exhibit spurious singularities inside the band of random matrix energy levels. We also consider the large $N_L$ treatment of the quantum Hall plateau transition, showing that the same undesirable features are present there, too.

description: We present a new switching mechanism that utilizes the proximity coupling between the surface spin texture of a Weyl semimetal and a superconductor, in a Weyl semimetal/superconductor/Weyl semimetal trilayer heterostructure. We show that the superconductivity in the middle layer can be fully suppressed by the surface spin texture of the Weyl semimetals in the presence of an external magnetic field, but it can be recovered again by only changing the field direction. The restoration of the middle-layer superconductivity indicates a sharp transition to a low-resistance state. This sharp switching effect, realizable using a Weyl semimetal because of its strong spin-momentum locking and surface spin polarization, is a promising avenue for novel superconducting spin-valve applications.

description: Climate variability can induce uncertainty in yields, and threaten long term economic viability of rainfed agricultural enterprises in the absence of effective adaptation strategies. Enterprise mix diversification has been found to be an effective adaptation strategy for mitigating multiple sources of farm business risk in some contexts. The extent to which enterprise mix diversification can mitigate climate induced variability in long term net returns from rainfed agriculture is assessed in this paper. Building on APSIM modelling, the assessment applies Monte Carlo simulation, probability theory, and finance techniques, to assess the potential for enterprise mix diversification to mitigate climate-induced variability in long term economic returns from rainfed agriculture. Five alternative farm enterprise types comprising three non-diversified farm enterprises and two diversified farm enterprises consisting of a correlated mix of rainfed agricultural activities were considered. The decision to switch from a non-diversified agricultural enterprise with the highest expected return to a diversified agricultural enterprise consisting of a mix of agricultural enterprises was analysed. Correlation analysis showed that yields were not perfectly correlated (i.e. are less than 1) indicating that changes in climate variables cause non-proportional impacts on yields. Results show that whilst diversification can reduce the standard deviation of net returns by up to A$122ha-1 and increase the worst probable net loss by A$99ha-1, diversification can reduce the expected net returns by up to A$96ha-1 and reduce the maximum probable net gain by up to A$602ha-1. Further, under non-diversified enterprises, the likelihood of realising net losses higher than the maximum probable net loss under the diversified enterprise was estimated at up to 6%. Conversely, under the non-diversified enterprise, the likelihood of realising net gains higher than the maximum probable net gain under diversified enterprises was estimated at up to 16%.

description: This paper presents a new approach to solving N-queen problems, which involves a model of distributed autonomous agents with artificial life (ALife) and a method of representing N-queen constraints in an agent environment. The distributed agents locally interact with their living environment, i.e., a chessboard, and execute their reactive behaviors by applying their behavioral rules for randomized motion, least-conflict position searching, and cooperating with other agents etc. The agent-based N-queen problem solving system evolves through selection and contest according to the rule of Survival of the Fittest, in which some agents will die or be eaten if their moving strategies are less efficient than others. The experimental results have shown that this system is capable of solving large-scale N-queen problems. This paper also provides a model of ALife agents for solving general CSPs.

description: A Hamiltonian approach to the solution of the Vlasov-Poisson equations has been developed. Based on a nonlinear canonical transformation, the rapidly oscillating terms in the original Hamiltonian are transformed away, yielding a new Hamiltonian that contains slowly varying terms only. The formalism has been applied to the dynamics of an intense beam propagating through a periodic focusing lattice, and to the coherent beam-beam interaction. A stationary solution to the transformed Vlasov equation has been obtained.

description: The thermal behavior of the spectroscopic parameters of the S-wave single heavy baryons $ Σ_{Q}^{*}, Ξ_{Q}^{*}$ and $ Ω_{Q}^{*} $ with spin-3/2 are investigated in QCD at finite temperature. We analyze the variations of the mass and residue of these baryons taking into consideration the contributions of QCD thermal condensates up to dimension eight in Wilson expansion. At finite temperature, due to the breakdown of the Lorentz invariance by the choice of reference frame and presence of an extra $O(3)$ symmetry, some new four-dimensional operators come out in the form of the fermionic and gluonic parts of the energy momentum tensor that are taken into account in the calculations. Our analyses show that at lower temperatures, the parameters of baryons under consideration are not affected by the medium. These parameters, however, show rapid variations with respect to temperature at higher temperatures near to a pseudo-critical temperature, after which the baryons are melted. The results of the masses and residues at $ T\rightarrow 0 $ limit are compatible with the available experimental data and predictions of other theoretical studies.

description: I present a selection of recent lattice data by major collaborations for the pseudo-Goldstone boson masses in full ($N_f=2$) QCD, where the valence quarks are chosen exactly degenerate with the sea quarks. At least the more chiral points should be consistent with Chiral Perturbation Theory for the latter to be useful in extrapolating to physical masses. Perspectives to reliably determine NLO Gasser-Leutwyler coefficients are discussed.

description: China has experienced rapid economic growth in the past three decades. This has resulted in a sustained increase in consumer income, which in turn has led to changes in the patterns and quantities of food consumed. In this study recent trends in food consumption in China over 2000-2010 are examined. Demand has been increasing for a diverse range of foods and for foods of higher quality than traditionally has been supplied. Constrained by limited and sometimes degraded agricultural resources, China will be unable to meet fully the increasing, and changing, demand for foods. However, while the food import needs of China will be significant in the longer term, the evidence of this study suggests the food import needs of China until 2020 will be relatively small. Realistic, though relatively constrained, prospects for increased food trade between Australia and China are outlined.
Effect of external magnetic field on electron spin dephasing induced by hyperfine interaction in quantum dots

description: We investigate the influence of an external magnetic field on spin phase relaxation of single electrons in semiconductor quantum dots induced by the hyperfine interaction. The basic decay mechanism is attributed to the dispersion of local effective nuclear fields over the ensemble of quantum dots. The characteristics of electron spin dephasing is analyzed by taking an average over the nuclear spin distribution. We find that the dephasing rate can be estimated as a spin precession frequency caused primarily by the mean value of the local nuclear magnetic field. Furthermore, it is shown that the hyperfine interaction does not fully depolarize electron spin. The loss of initial spin polarization during the dephasing process depends strongly on the external magnetic field, leading to the possibility of effective suppression of this mechanism.

description: In Australia, Bos taurus cattle breeds produce high quality meat, superior in taste and tenderness characteristics. Nevertheless, these breeds do not thrive in the Northern Australian environment. Stem cell transplant technologies, that make use of adult stem cells harvested from a Bos Taurus bull and the subsequent allogeneic transplantation of testicular cells into a Bos indicus bull, could improve northern beef cattle breeding programs by facilitating crossbreeding via natural service. Focus groups were used in this study to explore consumer reaction to specific reproduction technologies and the implications for buying intentions. Findings from these focus groups were then used for development of choice experiment surveys. Survey results suggested that while some consumers indicated that they were not concerned about the specified stem cell technology being utilized in beef production, generally people were willing to pay to avoid eating steak that had been produced in this way. Moreover, it appears that they would pay more to avoid this steak when specific key words providing additional information about the technology (stem cells; radiotherapy) were used to describe the steak being valued. Even so, the wording of the technology description did not have a significant effect on this value. The relatively large discount values required by respondents to purchase steaks produced using stem cell technology may be slightly lower depending on whether consumers have a genuine aversion to the use of artificial insemination. It is beyond the scope of this study to explore the stability of preference estimates from a discrete choice experiment but from a theoretical perspective, it would be worthwhile.
Bridging Inertial and Dissipation Range Statistics in Rotating Turbulence

description: We investigate the connection between the inertial range and the dissipation range statistics of rotating turbulence through detailed simulations of a helical shell model and a multifractal analysis. In particular, by using the latter, we find an explicit relation between the (anomalous) scaling exponents of equal-time structure functions in the inertial range in terms of the generalised dimensions associated with the energy dissipation rate. This theoretical prediction is validated by detailed simulations of a helical shell model for various strengths of rotation from where the statistics of dissipation rate, and thus the generalised dimensions, as well as the inertial range, in particular the anomalous scaling exponents, are extracted. Our work also underlines a surprisingly good agreement---such as in the spatial structure of the energy dissipation rates and the decrease in inertial range intermittency with increasing strengths of rotation---between solutions of the Navier--Stokes equation in a rotating frame with those obtained from low-dimensional, dynamical systems such as the shell model which are not explicitly anisotropic. Finally, we perform direct numerical simulations of the Navier--Stokes equation, with the Coriolis force incorporated, to confirm the robustness of the conclusions drawn from our multifractal and shell model studies.

description: Augustus and his successors promoted the system that embodied the idea that the Roman emperor was closely interested in his citizens. In this way, one of the most important means of showing the emperor’s personal interest in the emperor’s subjects was through those appointed to undertake the office of the highest authorities of the cities under his control. One of the cities where this phenomenon is documented is Pisidian Antioch, through seven examples, which was organized by Augustus in 25 B.C. as a Roman colony, renamed Colonia Caesarea. In the first part of the article, the progress of re-organizing the Seleucid colony of Pisidian
 Antioch as a Roman colony is studied, and in the second part, information on civic duties of duumvirs, whose activities ranged from responsibilities concerning the town planning and public works to the administrative, judicial, financial, military and religious functions, is provided on the light of colonial and municipal laws. The third part studies the seven significant persons presented
 as honorary duumvirate by the Roman colony of Antioch, including Augustus and Tiberius, and why they were chosen, and the praefecti who acted for them. The facts given here are explained within the relationship among the members of the Julio-Claudian house and of the problems that occurred in the eastern borders and at the same time as the foundation of the colony.

description: An understanding of changes in price volatility is of value to policy makers and exchange committee members as well as other participants in commodity futures markets. Previous research has studied volatility by measuring: 1) the flow of new information into the market, or 2) the effect that the structure of the futures market has on price volatility. In this paper, a model is developed which integrates these two themes in the literature to measure and explain price volatility in live cattle futures prices. The model is subjected to a battery of diagnostic tests so that a comparison can be made between the integrated model and models from previous research. Also, since price volatility from the underlying commodity is a major component in the determination of option premiums, a comparison is made between the integrated model and a naive model to forecast live cattle option premiums.
