description: The electron mass operator in a strong magnetic field is calculated by summation of the leading log contributions in all orders of the perturbation theory. An influence of the strong field on the virtual photon polarization operator is taken into account. The contribution of higher Landau levels of virtual electrons, along with the ground Landau level, is shown to be essential in the leading log approximation.

description: The recognized importance of innovation for long-run economic growth has raised scholars’ interest in the mechanisms explaining regional innovative performance. In particular, renewed attention has been paid to the role of institutions as a social filter that can foster innovation. By adopting a holistic theoretical approach, the paper adds to this literature by investigating the relationship between the institutional quality and innovation capacity of Italian provinces. The findings show a positive effect associated with the quality of institutions by means of three important channels: government effectiveness, regulatory quality, and voice and accountability.

description: A brief review is given of the implications of the recent Brookhaven result on the muon anomaly ($a_μ$) for supersymmetry. We focus mainly on the implications of the recent results for the minimal supergravity unified model. We show that the observed difference implies the existence of sparticles most of which should become observable at the Large Hadron Collider. Further, as foreseen in works prior to the Brookhaven experiment the sign of the difference between experimental prediction of $a_μ$ and its Standard Model value determines the sign of the Higgs mixing parameter $μ$. The $μ$ sign has important implications for the direct detection of dark matter. Implications of the Brookhaven result for other low energy phenomena are also discussed.

Validity of Goldstone Theorem at Two Loops in Noncommutative U(N) Linear Sigma Model

description: The scalar theory is ultraviolet (UV) quadratically divergent on ordinary spacetime. On noncommutative (NC) spacetime, this divergence will generally induce pole-like infrared (IR) singularities in external momenta through the UV/IR mixing. In spontaneous symmetry breaking theory this would invalidate the Goldstone theorem which is the basis for mass generation when symmetry is gauged. We examine this issue at two loop level in the U(N) linear sigma model which is known to be free of such IR singularities in the Goldstone self-energies at one loop. We analyze the structures in the NC parameter (θ_{μν}) dependence in two loop integrands of Goldstone self-energies. We find that their coefficients are effectively once subtracted at the external momentum p=0 due to symmetry relations between 1PI and tadpole contributions, leaving a final result proportional to a quadratic form in p. We then compute the leading IR terms induced by NC to be of order p^2\ln(θ_{μν})^2 and p^2\ln\tilde{p}^2 (\tilde{p}_μ=θ_{μν}p^ν) which are much milder than naively expected without considering the above cancellation. The Goldstone bosons thus keep massless and the theorem holds true at this level. However, the limit of θ\to 0 cannot be smooth any longer as it is in the one loop Goldstone self-energies, and this nonsmooth behaviour is not necessarily associated with the IR limit of the external momentum as we see in the term of p^2\ln(θ_{μν})^2.

description: We describe different methods for estimating the bispectrum of Cosmic Microwave Background data. In particular we construct a minimum variance estimator for the flat-sky limit and compare results with previously-studied frequentist methods. Application to the MAXIMA dataset shows consistency with primordial Gaussianity. Weak quadratic non-Gaussianity is characterised by a tunable parameter $f_{NL}$, corresponding to non-Gaussianity at a level $\sim 10^{-5}f_{NL}$ (ratio of non-Gaussian to Gaussian terms), and we find limits of $|f_{NL}|<950$ for the minimum-variance estimator and $|f_{NL}|<1650$ for the usual frequentist estimator. These are the tightest limits on primordial non-Gaussianity which include the full effects of the radiation transfer function.

description: In this article we deduce necessary and sufficient conditions for the presence of `Conti-type', highly symmetric, exactly-stress free constructions in the geometrically non-linear, planar $n$-well problem, generalising results of [CKZ17]. Passing to the limit $n\rightarrow \infty$, this allows us to treat solid crystals and nematic elastomer differential inclusions simultaneously. In particular, we recover and generalise (non-linear) planar tripole star type deformations which were experimentally observed in [MA80,MA80a,KK91]. Further we discuss the corresponding geometrically linearised problem.

title: Variable Drought Impacts on Stream Habitat Across the Northwestern United States
Creators: name: Withers, Sophia
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2024

description: The Western United States has been in an extended drought since 2002 which can drive negative impacts on stream habitats supporting native fish and aquatic species. Stream quality, specifically in the context of fish habitat, depends on many variables, including vegetation quality. Drought conditions affect vegetation conditions; however it is unclear how drought conditions impact stream habitat quality for fish. This study examines how stream habitat quality relates to drought across the National Forests of the Northwestern US, as well as exploring whether drought increases have had a significant impact on riparian vegetation over the past 20 years. Using a long-term stream habitat monitoring dataset from the PacFish/InFish Biological Opinion Monitoring Program and satellite-imagery derived Normalized Differential Vegetation Index (NDVI) data, we are able to examine the long term trends in greeness, and the relationship between riparian vegetation condition and stream habitat quality. I found no linear trend of drought impacting riparian vegetation conditions from 2000-2020 in Idaho, Montana, or Oregon National Forests. Linear regression analyses revealed positive relationships between NDVI and stream habitat quality in many, but not all years. Only one National Forest, Beaverhead-Deerlodge in Montana, had an entirely significant relationship with increasing drought causing a decrease in habitat quality. All other National Forests showed some overlap with zero. Riparian vegetation has thus far not been negatively impacted by drought, and stream habitat is largely positively related to riparian vegetation conditions. Further analysis of this data with a greater area of combined NDVI values, as well as the use of more specific NDVI data could provide greater insights into drought patterns across the Northwestern United States, as well as the effect of potential drought on streams or watersheds as a whole.

description: The paper studies the determinants of air connectivity in European regions. It takes into account the spatial effects among regions, the different regional characteristics in terms of importance and the impact of the two main airline business models: low-cost carriers and full-service carries. In order to investigate these effects, a spatial econometric model is designed to estimate the determinants of different measures of air connectivity and applied to a data set regarding 284 NUTS-2 European regions for the period 2009–16. A strong spatial effect is found: good connectivity of nearby regions generates lower connectivity in surrounding regions. Moreover, the results indicate that low-cost carries improve air connectivity, particularly in remote regions.

description: During the Great Recession international emigration skyrocketed while internal migration strongly declined. However, when the focus is on migration to the larger urban areas in Spain, an increase in population since the outbreak of the crisis is observed. This study determines the effect of labour market factors on migration flows to 45 Spanish functional urban areas for the recent recession period. The results indicate that wages and employment rates greatly influence migration to cities. The results are presented by considering both provinces and local labour market areas as flows’ origins. From the results, the strong role of labour markets in migration to cities can be confirmed.

description: It has been reported that isotope fractionation can occur on gas chromatography (GC), yet little is known about concurrent dual-elements isotope fractionations on GC. Revelation of concurrent two-dimensional carbon and chlorine/bromine isotope fractionations of halogenated organic compounds (HOCs) on GC may be of important significance for compound-specific isotope analysis (CSIA). This study presents an in-depth investigation of the two-dimensional C and Cl/Br isotope fractionations of HOCs on GC using GC-double focus magnetic-sector high resolution mass spectrometry (GC-DFS-HRMS). The two-dimensional C and Cl/Br isotope fractionations of four organochlorines and four bromobenzenes on GC were simultaneously measured by GC-DFS-HRMS. The isotope fractionations were evaluated with isotope ratios, relative variations of isotope ratios and isotope fractionation extents. All the HOCs exhibited significant inverse C and Cl/Br isotope fractionations. The isotope fractionations were significant in both ends of chromatographic peaks, while the isotope ratios in center retention-time segments were the closest to comprehensive isotope ratios in the whole peaks. Significant correlations between C isotope fractionation and Cl/Br isotope fractionation were observed, indicating that the isotope fractionations might have strong relationships and/or be dominated by similar factors. Relevant mechanisms for the two-dimensional C and Cl/Br isotope fractionations were tentatively proposed on basis of a modified two-film model and the theories related to zero point energy. The results of this study gains new insights into concurrent two-dimensional isotope fractionation behaviors of HOCs during physical processes, and are conducive to CSIA studies involving C, Cl and Br for obtaining high-quality data, particularly to dual-elements CSIA of C and Cl/Br.

 Beardius fittkaui Pinho, Mendes et Andersen, 2009: 258.
 Material examined. Type material as in Pinho et al. (2009).
 Diagnostic characters. The species belongs in the truncatus group. The male can be separated from all other members of the genus by the combination of the following characters: acrostichals present; and median volsella at apex of subtriangular projection of inferior volsella. The pupa by: tergite II with stronger shagreen orally; tergite VI with shagreen in anterior 2/3; tergites VII and VIII without shagreen; paratergite VIII with long spines; anal spur of tergite VIII with minute accessory teeth; and conjunctive IV/V with spinules in a single patch.
 Description. The male was described in detail by Pinho et al. (2009). The structure considered to be the “median volsella” by Pinho et al. (2009) must be regarded as a basal subtriangular lobe of the inferior volsella while the 2–3 setae situated on the apex of this projection the wart-like median volsella.
 Distribution. The species is recorded from the Amazonas State in Brazil (Pinho et al. 2009).

description: In AdS5, the coupling for bulk gauge bosons runs logarithmically, not as a power law. For this reason, one can preserve perturbative unification of couplings. Depending on the cutoff, this can occur at a high scale. We discuss subtleties in the calculation and present a regularization scheme motivated by the holographic correspondence. We find that generically, as in the standard model, the couplings almost unify. For specific choices of the cutoff and number of scalar multiplets, there is good agreement between the measured couplings and the assumption of high scale unification.

description: The role of territorial capital (TC) on the productivity of Italian firms is investigated by constructing indicators for eight dimensions of TC in a first attempt to capture a wide variety of regional resources. When imposing homogeneous TC effects on all firms, it is found that technological, social, institutional, financial and infrastructure capital drive productivity. However, only technological and artistic capital contribute to reduce regional disparities. Across industries, financial capital and infrastructure increase productivity in companies operating in a wide range of sectors. Industrial policies should consider sectoral heterogeneity and north–south differences to effectively boost productivity performance.

description: Complex and diverse driving situations can pose short-term stressors to novice drivers. Continuously detecting stress is essential for driver training, stress intervention, and the design of in-vehicle information systems. This study designed and validated a driver stress detection method at the event level based on machine learning algorithms and facial features captured with smartphones. Thirty young novice drivers completed two driving tasks containing eight events of two versions (neutral and stressful), with psychological, physiological, and facial data collected. Four combinations of input data types and six machine learning algorithms were used to detect stressful events. The KNN algorithm with facial plus individual profile features yielded the highest accuracy of 89.2%. Adding individual profile features can improve classification performance. Facial areas such as brow, eye, jaw, nose, and mouth were most sensitive to stress. This approach could provide more temporal-spatial information about the driver’s stress levels during the whole driving process. Practitioner Summary: This paper proposed a method to detect driver stress at the event level with smartphones. Models with facial plus individual profile features and the KNN algorithm had the most outstanding classification performance. The presented approach can serve as a tool for improving in-vehicle interaction system design when considering driver stress.

description: We propose an interband tunneling picture to explain and predict the interlayer twist angle dependence of the induced spin-orbit coupling in heterostructures of graphene and monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs). We obtain a compact analytic formula for the induced valley Zeeman and Rashba spin-orbit coupling in terms of the TMDC band structure parameters and interlayer tunneling matrix elements. We parametrize the tunneling matrix elements with few parameters, which in our formalism are independent of the twist angle between the layers. We estimate the value of the tunneling parameters from existing DFT calculations at zero twist angle and we use them to predict the induced spin-orbit coupling at non-zero angles. Provided that the energy of the Dirac point of graphene is close to the TMDC conduction band, we expect a sharp increase of the induced spin-orbit coupling around a twist angle of 18 degrees.

Mechanistic insights on the phosphorene degradation

Subjects: subject: Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics (cond-mat.mes-hall)

description: The structural and chemical degradations of phosphorene severely limit its practical applications despite the enormous promise. In this regard, we investigate a plethora of microscopic kinetic mechanisms and develop a degradation phase diagram within the first-principles calculations. At 400 K, the degradation and the competing self-annealing proceeds through the merger and annihilation of vacancies, respectively, which are triggered via itinerant vacancy and adatom. A further increase in temperature beyond 650 K, the structural degradation results through the emission of the undercoordinated atoms from the defect and the concurrent pair-wise sublimation. The role of inter-layer vacancy diffusion is discarded in the context of structural degradation. The chemical degradation is routed through the dissociation of oxygen molecule that is either activated at the room-temperature on the pristine surface or spontaneous at the single-vacancy site. The present results are in agreement with the few available experimental conjectures and will motivate further efforts.

description: The rates for magnetic dipole (M1) transitions $Υ(nS) \to η_b(n'S) + γ$, $n' \le n$, are compared. The photon energies for allowed ($n' = n$) M1 transitions are very small, so hindered ($n' < n$) transitions could be more favorable for discovering the $η_b(1S,2S)$. The question then arises whether $Υ(2S)$ or $Υ(3S)$ is a better source of $η_b(1S)$. Whereas one nonrelativistic model favors $η_b(1S)$ production from $Υ(2S)$, this advantage is lost when relativistic corrections are taken into account, and is not common to all sets of wave functions even in the purely nonrelativistic limit. Thus, the prospects for discovering $η_b(1S)$ in $Υ(3S)$ radiative decays could be comparable to those in $Υ(2S)$ decays. We also discuss a suggestion for discovering the $η_b$ via $Υ(3S) \to h_b(^1P_1) ππ$, followed by $h_b \to η_b γ$.

description: The level of food security in South Africa is largely being influenced by income inequalities and food prices with a large part of the population that has access to food but do not have the financial means to obtain it. Despite ever increasing food inflation, South Africa is still adopting policies and strategies which may contribute towards even higher levels of food inflation and consequently food insecurity in the near future. These include amongst others the National Bio-Fuel Industrial Strategy. Previous studies suggest that indigenous and traditional food crops play a substantial role in ensuring food security in several African countries. The question that arises is whether these alternative food crops do not hold the answer towards balancing the trade-off between fuel and food in South Africa. In order to answer that question, a literature review was conducted to understand the inter-linkages between food and bio-fuel as well as to understand the role that indigenous and traditional food crops are currently playing in Africa. To analyse the current status and potential of indigenous and traditional food crops in South Africa, a topical survey amongst 600 African households in the North-West Province was conducted. Contrary to other parts of Sub-Saharan Africa, the survey showed that current production and consumption of indigenous and traditional foods crops in South Africa is modest. This is mainly due to ignorance and unavailability of these specific crops. Despite this, the potential of these crops is evident in the South African context due to affordability, positive perceptions, and land availability near poor rural and peri-urban communities. Hence, indigenous and traditional food crops hold significant opportunities for South Africa to pursue bio-fuel production without compromising food security. To achieve this, specific interventions are needed to stimulate the production and consumption of indigenous and traditional food crops.

description: We discuss the semileptonic weak decays of $P\to P$ ($P$ denotes a pseudoscalar meson). In these timelike processes, the problem of the nonvalence contribution is solved systematically as well as the valence one. These contributions are related to the light-front quark model (LFQM), and the numerical results show the nonvalence contribution of the light-to-light transition is larger than of the heavy-to-light one. In addition, the relevant CKM matrix elements are calculated. They are consistent with the data of Particle Data Group.

description: Hoplandria struyvei spec. nov.
(Figg. 4, 19–20)
 Materiale tipico: Holotype ♂, Guyane Fr., Barrage Petit Saut, 10.XI.2011, leg. T. Struyve (IRSNB).
 Descrizione: Lunghezza 3,1 mm. Corpo lucido e bruno, base dell’addome e pigidio bruno-rossicci, antenne brune con i due antennomeri basali e l’undicesimo giallo-rossicci, zampe giallo-rossicce. Occhi, in visione dorsale, più lunghi della regione postoculare. Secondo antennomero più breve del primo, terzo più lungo del secondo, quarto lungo quanto largo, dal quinto al decimo trasversi. Reticolazione del corpo non visibile. Punteggiatura del capo fitta e superficiale, quella del pronoto poco fitta, fine ed evidente, quella dell’addome evidente, ma assente su una larga fascia trasversa degli uroterghi liberi terzo e quarto. Granulosità delle elitre saliente e dall’aspetto rasposo. Pronoto munito di quattro forti punti discali disposti in quadrato. Quinto urotergo libero del maschio munito di un debole granulo mediano, posteriore. Edeago come in figg. 19–20.
 Comparazioni: La nuova specie è simile, per la forma dell’edeago, a H. analis BERNHAUER, 1908 del Brasile, di cui ho potuto esaminare l’olotipo maschio (FMNHC). L’edeago della nuova specie ha un gruppo di lunghe squame, disposte su di un ampio pezzo copulatore, mentre l’edeago di analis presenta questo pezzo assai ridotto. L’apice dell’edeago della nuova specie, in visione ventrale, è arcuato, mentre quello di analis forma una punta stretta. L’undicesimo antennomero della nuova specie è giallo-rossiccio, mentre quello di analis è bruno-rossiccio. Il secondo urotergo libero del maschio della nuova specie non ha i due rilievi spianati, presenti invece in analis.
 Etimologia: La nuova specie è dedicata al suo raccoglitore Tim Struyve, entomologo e consulente di pianificazione di Mechelen, Fiandre, Belgio.

XTE J1946+274 = GRO J1944+26: An Enigmatic Be/X-ray Binary

description: XTE J1946+274 = GRO J1944+26 is a 15.8 s Be/X-ray pulsar discovered simultaneously in 1998 September with the Burst and Transient Source Experiment (BATSE) on the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory (CGRO) and the All-Sky Monitor (ASM) on the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE). Here we present new results from BATSE and {\em RXTE} including a pulse timing analysis, spectral analysis, and evidence for an accretion disk. Our pulse timing analysis yielded an orbital period of 169.2 days, a moderate eccentricity of 0.33, and implied a mass function of 9.7 M_sun. We observed evidence for an accretion disk, a correlation between measured spin-up rate and flux, which was fitted to obtain a distance estimate of 9.5 +/- 2.9 kpc. XTE J1946+274 remained active from 1998 September - 2001 July, undergoing 13 outbursts that were not locked in orbital phase. Comparing RXTE PCA observations from the initial bright outburst in 1998 and the last pair of outbursts in 2001, we found energy and intensity dependent pulse profile variations in both outbursts and hardening spectra with increasing intensity during the fainter 2001 outbursts. In 2001 July, optical Halpha observations indicate a density perturbation appeared in the Be disk as the X-ray outbursts ceased. We propose that the equatorial plane of the Be star is inclined with respect to the orbital plane in this system and that this inclination may be a factor in the unusual outburst behavior of the system.

description: The recognized importance of innovation for long-run economic growth has raised scholars’ interest in the mechanisms explaining regional innovative performance. In particular, renewed attention has been paid to the role of institutions as a social filter that can foster innovation. By adopting a holistic theoretical approach, the paper adds to this literature by investigating the relationship between the institutional quality and innovation capacity of Italian provinces. The findings show a positive effect associated with the quality of institutions by means of three important channels: government effectiveness, regulatory quality, and voice and accountability.

description: We present the revised and high quality CCD time series observations in 2017 and 2018 of the W UMa-type contact binary BH~Cas. The combination of our new determinations of minimum times and those collected from the literatures reveal a long-term period increase with a rate of $\textit{dP/dt}\,=\,+3.27 \times 10^{-7} \textrm{d}\,\textrm{yr}^{-1}$, which can be accounted for by angular momentum transfer as the less-massive component loses its mass to the more massive one. One cyclical oscillation ($A'=0.00300$~days and $P'=20.09$~yrs) superimposed on the long-term period increase tendency is attributed to one additional object that orbits BH Cas. The low-resolution spectra of this source are observed at phase $\sim$0.0 and $\sim$0.5 in 2018 and 2019, and the spectral types are identified as K3V$\,\pm\,$1 and G8V$\,\pm\,$2. According to the luminosity contributions and spectra at these phases, the spectral type of the primary star is close to K3V$\,\pm\,$1. We infer a cool spot on the hotter and less-massive component to fit the asymmetry of light curves. In addition, changes in the location, temperature, and area of spots on the secondary star in different observations may indicate that the magnetic field activity of the secondary is more active than that of the primary. Such strong spot activities and optical flare are both detected at the same time from a W UMa-type star for the first time. With the \emph{XMM-Newton} observations taken in 2003 and 2012, the X-ray light curve is obtained and the X-ray spectra can be well described with a black-body or a bremsstrahlung model. The soft X-ray luminosity of BH Cas is estimated as 8.8\,--\,9.7$\,\times\,10^{30}$\,erg\,s$^{-1}$.

description: This paper proposes a proprioceptive collision detection algorithm based on Gaussian Regression. Compared to sensor-based collision detection and other proprioceptive algorithms, the proposed approach has minimal sensing requirements, since only the currents and the joint configurations are needed. The algorithm extends the standard Gaussian Process models adopted in learning the robot inverse dynamics, using a more rich set of input locations and an ad-hoc kernel structure to model the complex and non-linear behaviors due to frictions in quasi-static configurations. Tests performed on a Universal Robots UR10 show the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm to detect when a collision has occurred.

description: This study investigates the efficiency of suspicious transaction reporting activity to a financial intelligence unit as a means to deter money laundering. Baseline and two-province theoretical models are used to frame the empirical analysis. The latter examines the relationship between suspicious transaction reporting and the vulnerability of Italian provinces to money laundering from 2009 to 2013. Instrumental variables and spatial analysis are exploited to identify the role of suspicious transaction reporting on vulnerability. The results provide a positive assessment of the risk-based mechanism of reporting suspicious operations to the financial intelligence unit, although ‘congestion’ problems from overreporting are observed.

Supersymmetric Relations Among Electromagnetic Dipole Operators

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2001
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Supersymmetric contributions to all leptonic electromagnetic dipole operators have essentially identical diagramatic structure. With approximate slepton universality this allows the muon anomalous magnetic moment to be related to the electron electric dipole moment in terms of supersymmetric phases, and to radiative flavor changing lepton decays in terms of small violations of slepton universality. If the current discrepancy between the measured and Standard Model values of the muon anomalous magnetic moment is due to supersymmetry, the current bound on the electron electric dipole moment then implies that the phase of the electric dipole operator is less than $2 \times 10^{-3}$. Likewise the current bound on $μ\to e γ$ decay implies that the fractional selectron-smuon mixing in the left-left mass squared matrix, $δm_{\smuon \selectron}^2 / m_{\slepton}^2$, is less than $10^{-4}$. These relations and constraints are fairly insensitive to details of the superpartner spectrum for moderate to large $\tan β$.
