description: We study long-range correlation functions of the rectangular Ising lattice with cyclic boundary conditions. Specifically, we consider the situation in which two spins are on the same column, and at least one spin is on or near free boundaries. The low-temperature series expansions of the correlation functions are presented when the spin-spin couplings are the same in both directions. The exact correlation functions can be obtained by D log Pade for the cases with simple algebraic resultant expressions. The present results show that as the two spins are infinitely far from each other, the correlation function is equal to the product of the row magnetizations of the corresponding spins as expected. In terms of low-temperature series expansions, the approach of this m-th row correlation function to the bulk correlation function for increasing m can be understood from the observation that the dominant terms of their series expansions are the same successively in the above two correlation functions. The number of these dominant terms increases monotonically as m increases.

description: The geochemical characterization of the spring water resources of Orlu and its environs was carried out in order to evaluate their chemical composition and quality profile with respect to the environmental setting of the study area. Two spring samples were used which are Iyi Okwu spring and Biafran spring, they were analyzed for major cations and anions as well as trace elements like Fe, Cu, and P. The major cation concentrations determined were in the order: Ca2+> K+> Na+> Mg2+ with mean values of 55, 15, 1.71, 0 Mg/l respectively and that of the major anion concentration of the surface water is of the order: SO4 > NO3-> Cl- with mean values of 22.3, 22, 5.05, 0.185 mg/l respectively. The spring sources are slightly polluted by iron and other trace elements. The source of these pollutants could be from the open solid waste dumpsites disseminated in different localities and and the geology of the underlying bedrocks along the river channel (made up of predominantly sedimentary rocks) and as such not fit for domestic use as those parameters exceeded the maximum permissible level set by the Nigerian Industrial Standard (2007) and the World Health Organization (2006) Standard.
T-violation in flavour oscillations as a test for relativity principles at a neutrino factory

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: We study the effects of violation of the equivalence principle (VEP) or violation of Lorentz invariance (LIV) in the neutrino sector on the asymmetry between T-conjugate oscillation probabilities, $ΔP_T \equiv P(ν_α \to ν_β) - P(ν_β \to ν_α)$, in a three-flavour framework. We find that additional mixing due to these mechanisms, while obeying all present bounds, can lead to an observable enhancement, suppression, and/or sign change in $ΔP_T$ for the preferred energies and baselines of a neutrino factory. The measurement of this asymmetry can be used to establish a new upper limit of order $10^{-26}$ on VEP or LIV in the $(ν_e, ν_μ)$ and $(ν_e, ν_τ)$ sectors.

Crossover from fast to slow dynamics in quantum Ising chains with long range interactions

description: Quantum many body systems with long range interactions are known to display many fascinating phenomena experimentally observable in trapped ions, Rydberg atoms and polar molecules. Among these are dynamical phase transitions which occur after an abrupt quench in spin chains with interactions decaying as $r^{-α}$ and whose critical dynamics depend crucially on the power $α$: for systems with $α<1$ the transition is sharp while for $α>1$ it fans out in a chaotic crossover region. In this paper we explore the fate of critical dynamics in Ising chains with long-range interactions when the transverse field is ramped up with a finite speed. While for abrupt quenches we observe a chaotic region that widens as $α$ is increased, the width of the crossover region diminishes as the time of the ramp increases, suggesting that chaos will disappear altogether and be replaced by a sharp transition in the adiabatic limit.

description: In order to stabilise and improve their income situation, rural households are strongly encouraged to diversify their activities both within and outside the agricultural sector. Often, however, this advice is only moderately pursued. This paper addresses issues of rural household income diversification in the case of Poland. It investigates returns from rural household income strategies using propensity score matching methods and extensive datasets spanning 1998-2008. Results suggest that returns from combining farm and off-farm activities were lower than returns from concentrating on farming or on self-employment outside agriculture. This differential is stable over time although returns from diversification have relatively improved after Poland’s accession to the EU. This is also visible in the fact that since 2006 returns from combining farm and off-farm activities have evened with returns from relying solely on hired off-farm labour, thus smoothing the difference observed before the accession. Further, over the analysed period, households pursuing the diversification strategy performed better than those relying solely on unearned income. Finally, in general, the income in households combining farm and off-farm activities was higher than in those combining two off-farm income sources.

description: Numerous laboratory experiments have demonstrated the dependence of the friction coefficient on the interfacial slip rate and the contact history, a behavior generically called rate and state friction. Although numerical models have been widely used for analyzing rate and state friction, in general they consider infinite elastic domains surrounding the sliding interface and rely on boundary integral formulations. Much less work has been dedicated to modeling finite size systems to account for interactions with boundaries. This paper investigates rate and state frictional interfaces in the context of finite size systems with the finite element method in explicit dynamics. We investigate the long term behavior of the sliding interface for two different friction laws: a velocity weakening law, for which the friction monotonously decreases with increasing sliding velocity, and a velocity weakening-strengthening law, for which the friction coefficient first decreases but then increases above a critical velocity. We show that for both friction laws at finite times, that is before wave reflections from the boundaries come back to the sliding interface, a temporary steady state sliding is reached, with a well-defined stress drop at the interface. This stress drop gives rise to a stress concentration and leads to an analogy between friction and fracture. However, at longer times, that is after multiple wave reflections, the stress drop is essentially zero, resulting in losing the analogy with fracture mechanics. Finally, the simulations reveal that velocity weakening is unstable at long time scales, as it results in an acceleration of the sliding blocks. On the other hand, velocity weakening-strengthening reaches a steady state sliding configuration.

description: We construct a new family of q-deformed coherent states $|z>_q$, where $0 < q < 1$. These states are normalizable on the whole complex plane and continuous in their label $z$. They allow the resolution of unity in the form of an ordinary integral with a positive weight function obtained through the analytic solution of the associated Stieltjes power-moment problem and expressed in terms of one of the two Jacksons's $q$-exponentials. They also permit exact evaluation of matrix elements of physically-relevant operators. We use this to show that the photon number statistics for the states is sub-Poissonian and that they exhibit quadrature squeezing as well as an enhanced signal-to-quantum noise ratio over the conventional coherent state value. Finally, we establish that they are the eigenstates of some deformed boson annihilation operator and study some of their characteristics in deformed quantum optics.

description: Petroleum coke (petcoke) is a byproduct of the refinement of tar sands and crude oil, and as a byproduct is not currently regulated as a solid waste by the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act. When the material is stored outdoors in large uncovered piles, it contributes to nuisance dust and potential health concerns in adjacent communities. Those concerns include risks associated with breathing particulate matter and with petcoke’s constituents, most notably PAHs and toxic metals. Samples from petcoke storage piles and nearby residential window sills and furnace filters were analyzed for PAH by pressurized fluid extraction and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry using selected ion monitoring. The relative abundances of 20 PAHs identified in the source material were compared to surface wipe samples from the nearby residential homes and analyzed for a signature PAH fingerprint for the material.

description: Recently, a higher competition in logistics business introduces new challenges to the vehicle routing problem (VRP). Re-route planning, also known as dynamic VRP, is one of the important challenges. The re-route planning has to be performed when new customers request for deliveries while the delivery vehicles, i.e., trucks, are serving other customers. While the re-route planning has been studied in the literature, most of the existing works do not consider different uncertainties. Therefore, in this paper, we propose two systems, i.e., (i) an offline package pickup and delivery planning with stochastic demands (PDPSD) and (ii) a re-route package pickup and delivery planning with stochastic demands (Re-route PDPSD). Accordingly, we formulate the PDPSD system as a two-stage stochastic optimization. We then extend the PDPSD system to the Re-route PDPSD system with a re-route algorithm. Furthermore, we evaluate performance of the proposed systems by using the dataset from Solomon Benchmark suite and a real data from a Singapore logistics 1company. The results show that the PDPSD system can achieve the lower cost than that of the baseline model. In addition, the Re-route PDPSD system can help the supplier efficiently and successfully to serve more customers while the trucks are already on the road.

We find that additional mixing due to these mechanisms, while obeying all present bounds, can lead to a substantial enhancement, suppression, and/or sign change in $ΔP_T$ for the preferred energies and baselines of a neutrino factory. This in turn allows for the possibility of improving existing constraints by several orders of magnitude.

description: e investigate both experimentally and theoretically the waveguiding properties of a novel double trench waveguide where a conventional single-mode strip waveguide is embedded in a two dimensional photonic crystal (PhC) slab formed in silicon on insulator (SOI) wafers. We demonstrate that the bandwidth for relatively low-loss (50dB/cm) waveguiding is significantly expanded to 250nm covering almost all the photonic band gap owing to nearly linear dispersion of the TE-like waveguiding mode. The flat transmission spectrum however is interrupted by numerous narrow stop bands. We found that these stop bands can be attributed to anti-crossing between TE-like (positive parity) and TM-like (negative parity) modes. This effect is a direct result of the strong asymmetry of the waveguides that have an upper cladding of air and lower cladding of oxide. To our knowledge this is the first demonstration of the effects of cladding asymmetry on the transmission characteristics of the PhC slab waveguides.

description: This paper focuses on carbon that is one of the most abundant elements in the Universe and is of high importance in the field of nucleosynthesis and galactic and stellar evolution. Even nowadays, the origin of carbon and the relative importance of massive and low- to intermediate-mass stars in producing it is still a matter of debate. In this paper we aim at better understanding the origin of carbon by studying the trends of [C/H], [C/Fe],and [C/Mg] versus [Fe/H], and [Mg/H] for 2133 FGK dwarf stars from the fifth Gaia-ESO Survey internal data release (GES iDR5). The availability of accurate parallaxes and proper motions from Gaia DR2 and radial velocities from GES iDR5 allows us to compute Galactic velocities, orbits and absolute magnitudes and, for 1751 stars, ages via a Bayesian approach. Three different selection methodologies have been adopted to discriminate between thin and thick disk stars. In all the cases, the two stellar groups show different abundance ratios, [C/H], [C/Fe], and [C/Mg], and span different age intervals, with the thick disk stars being, on average, older than those in the thin disk. The behaviours of [C/H], [C/Fe], and [C/Mg] versus [Fe/H], [Mg/H], and age all suggest that C is primarily produced in massive stars like Mg. The increase of [C/Mg] for young thin disk stars indicates a contribution from low-mass stars or the increased C production from massive stars at high metallicities due to the enhanced mass loss. The analysis of the orbital parameters Rmed and |Zmax| support an "inside-out" and "upside-down" formation scenario for the disks of Milky Way.

Under suitable ellipticity assumptions we can define a family of complex powers A^z. We also obtain sufficient information on the resolvent of A to show the boundedness of the purely imaginary powers. Examples concern unique solvability and maximal regularity for the solution of the Cauchy problem for the Laplacian on conical manifolds as well as certain quasilinear diffusion equations.

description: We analyze the current matrix elements in the general collinear (Breit) frames and find the relation between the ordinary (or canonical) helicity amplitudes and the light-front helicity amplitudes. Using the conservation of angular momentum, we derive a general angular condition which should be satisfied by the light-front helicity amplitudes for any spin system. In addition, we obtain the light-front parity and time-reversal relations for the light-front helicity amplitudes. Applying these relations to the spin-1 form factor analysis, we note that the general angular condition relating the five helicity amplitudes is reduced to the usual angular condition relating the four helicity amplitudes due to the light-front time-reversal condition. We make some comments on the consequences of the angular condition for the analysis of the high-$Q^2$ deuteron electromagnetic form factors, and we further apply the general angular condition to the electromagnetic transition between spin-1/2 and spin-3/2 systems and find a relation useful for the analysis of the N-$Δ$ transition form factors. We also discuss the scaling law and the subleading power corrections in the Breit and light-front frames.

description: Omaspides (s. str.) iheringi (Spaeth, 1909)
 Published record. Franca (SඉൺൾඍΗ 1909).
 Distribution. Brazil (Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo) and Peru. Remarks. This species was recorded from Madre de Dios Department in Peru by Bඈඋඈඐංൾർ (2009). I did not have the opportunity to study the respective material; however, the distribution is suspicious as no other species of Omaspides Chevrolat, 1836 has such a vicariant distribution in eastern Brazil and the interior Amazon. In this case, the locality data are almost certainly correct as the material was provided directly by the collector, thus it would be desirable to compare the material from Peru to the holotype of O. iheringi to confirm its identity.

description: Modified braid equations satisfied by generalized ${\hat R}$ matrices (for a {\em given} set of group relations obeyed by the elements of ${\sf T}$ matrices ) are constructed for q-deformed quantum groups $GL_q (N), SO_q (N)$ and $Sp_q (N)$ with arbitrary values of $N$. The Baxterization of ${\hat R}$ matrices, treated as an aspect complementary to the {\em modification} of the braid equation, is obtained for all these cases in particularly elegant forms. A new class of braid matrices is discovered for the quantum groups $SO_{q}(N)$ and $Sp_{q}(N)$. The ${\hat R}$ matrices of this class, while being distinct from restrictions of the universal ${\hat{\cal R}}$ matrix to the corresponding vector representations, satisfy the standard braid equation. The modified braid equation and the Baxterization are obtained for this new class of ${\hat R}$ matrices. Diagonalization of the generalized ${\hat R}$ matrices is studied. The diagonalizers are obtained explicitly for some lower dimensional cases in a convenient way, giving directly the eigenvalues of the corresponding ${\hat R}$ matrices. Applications of such diagonalization are then studied in the context of associated covariantly quantized noncommutative spaces.

description: The interest in Fe-chalcogenide unconventional superconductors is intense after the critical temperature of FeSe was reported enhanced by more than one order of magnitude in the monolayer limit at the interface to an insulating oxide substrate. In heterostructures comprising interfaces of FeSe with topological insulators, additional interesting physical phenomena is predicted to arise e.g. in form of {\it topological superconductivity}. So far superconductive properties of Fe-chalcogenide monolayers were mostly studied by local scanning tunneling spectroscopy experiments, which can detect pseudo-gaps in the density of states as an indicator for Cooper pairing. Direct macroscopic transport properties which can prove or falsify a superconducting phase were rarely reported due to the difficulty to grow films with homogeneous material properties. Here we report on a promising growth method to fabricate continuous carpets of monolayer thick FeSe on molecular beam epitaxy grown Bi$_2$Se$_3$ topological insulator thin films. In contrast to previous works using atomically flat cleaved bulk Bi$_2$Se$_3$ crystal surfaces we observe a strong influence of the high step-edge density (terrace width about 10~nm) on MBE-grown Bi$_2$Se$_3$ substrates, which significantly promotes the growth of coalescing FeSe domains with small tetragonal crystal distortion without compromising the underlying Bi$_2$Se$_3$ crystal structure.

On the Benefit of Adversarial Training for Monocular Depth Estimation

description: In this paper we address the benefit of adding adversarial training to the task of monocular depth estimation. A model can be trained in a self-supervised setting on stereo pairs of images, where depth (disparities) are an intermediate result in a right-to-left image reconstruction pipeline. For the quality of the image reconstruction and disparity prediction, a combination of different losses is used, including L1 image reconstruction losses and left-right disparity smoothness. These are local pixel-wise losses, while depth prediction requires global consistency. Therefore, we extend the self-supervised network to become a Generative Adversarial Network (GAN), by including a discriminator which should tell apart reconstructed (fake) images from real images. We evaluate Vanilla GANs, LSGANs and Wasserstein GANs in combination with different pixel-wise reconstruction losses. Based on extensive experimental evaluation, we conclude that adversarial training is beneficial if and only if the reconstruction loss is not too constrained. Even though adversarial training seems promising because it promotes global consistency, non-adversarial training outperforms (or is on par with) any method trained with a GAN when a constrained reconstruction loss is used in combination with batch normalisation. Based on the insights of our experimental evaluation we obtain state-of-the art monocular depth estimation results by using batch normalisation and different output scales.

Characterizing exposure to dioxins/furans and other toxins from a biomass power plant near L’Anse Indian Reservation, MI.

description: ATSDR evaluated the potential health impacts of the L’Anse Warden Electric Company’s (LWEC) operations on L’Anse, a village of 2,011 residents, in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. LWEC is adjacent to residential areas and the Keweenaw Bay Indian Community L’Anse Reservation is about 1 kilometer downwind to the north and east. LWEC originally burned fossil fuels, then in 2007 applied for conversion to biomass fuel, allowing it to burn railroad ties treated with pentachlorophenol (PCP) and creosote, chipped wood, and shredded tires. After the change, local residents complained of particles depositing on their property and also expressed concerns about health impacts. The US Environmental Protection Agency provided soil sample results for dioxins/furans, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), PCP, and toxic metals, as well as modeled estimates of particulate matter and toxins in air. PAH and dioxin concentrations in soil were higher near LWEC and central L’Anse than other areas further away. ATSDR performed a health risk screening on the full dataset and detailed cancer and non-cancer calculations on pollutants that exceeded screening levels. ATSDR found that dioxins and furans in soil could contribute to developmental effects in one area of L’Anse. However, the dioxin/furan chemical fingerprint did not match samples in areas that were downwind of LWEC and is likely due to another source. PAH profiles in soil were consistent with typical urban sources, including historic emissions from vehicles and power plants. The estimated increase to cancer risk due to PAH and dioxin exposures was not significant. Health risks from air emissions, based on modeling, were minimal. ATSDR recommended additional soil sampling in the areas that were not previously tested.
