description: Using hedonic analysis of residential properties in the upstate of South Carolina, location in the urban/rural fringe is estimated to have a significant positive value relative to either rural or urban locations. The differential impact of private and public undeveloped land on housing price is estimated empirically. The results indicate that homes in the rural fringe, urban-rural fringe and urban fringe are worth about 11, 8 and 6 percent more respectively than homes in urban areas. The results also show that lake front, lake access and lake view houses are worth about 48, 35 and 30 percent more respectively than the houses which do not have lake view, lake access or lake frontage.

Fainter harder brighter softer: a correlation between $α_{\rm ox}$ , X-ray spectral state and Eddington ratio in tidal disruption events

Subjects: subject: High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena (astro-ph.HE)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We explore the accretion states of tidal disruption events (TDEs) using a sample of 7 X- ray bright sources. To this end, we estimate the relative contribution of the disk and corona to the observed X-ray emission through spectral modeling, and assess the X-ray brightness (through $α$_ox, L$_{2 keV}$ and f$_{Edd,X}$) as a function of the Eddington ratio. We report strong positive correlations between $α$_ox and f$_{Edd,bol}$; f$_{Edd,X}$ and f$_{Edd,UV}$ ; and an anti-correlation for L$_{2 keV}$ and f$_{Edd,UV}$. TDEs at high f$_{Edd,bol}$ have thermal dominated X-ray spectra and high (soft) $α$_ox, whereas those at low f$_{Edd,bol}$ show a significant power-law contribution and low (hard) $α$_ox. Similar to X-ray binaries and active galactic nuclei, the transition between X-ray spectral states occurs around f$_{Edd,bol}$ ${\approx}$ 0.03, although the uncertainty is large due to the small sample size. Our results suggest that X-ray surveys are more likely to discover TDEs at low f$_{Edd,bol}$, whereas optical surveys are more sensitive to TDEs at high Eddington ratios. The X-ray and optical selected TDEs have different UV and X-ray properties, which should be taken into account when deriving rates, luminosity and black hole mass functions. TDEs around the most massive supermassive black holes are observed in the hard state; this could indicate that TDE evolution is faster around more massive BHs.

Demand and Price Analysis

description: What are the important determinants of consumer demand and how have they been changing over the last decade? Understanding these factors is crucial for evaluating the benefits and costs of government regulations, such as labeling, intended to influence consumer food choice and, ultimately, public health; for assessing the competitiveness of U.S. agricultral producers and food processors as they choose product designs and marketing strategies; and for assessing the impact of changing consumer demand for food on the agricultural and food sectors of the U.S. economy. The objectives of this paper are to make a significant contribution to demand analysis by basing this understanding on the use of uniquely comprehensive data sets and theoretical/modeling techniques that evaluate demand on the brand level; and to build a comprehensive understanding of the relative importance of different determinants of consumer food choices in the decade from 1993-2002. The overall goal is to analyze what is driving consumer choices and the implications of these drivers for food and nutrition policy in the United States. A particular focus is the relative importance of advertising, other company marketing strategies, nutritional quality, privately and publicly provided nutritional information, and consumer dietary concerns and knowledge in determining consumer demand for food products.

description: Abstract: The Kohat Formation is well exposed at various localities throughout the Kohat Basin and has a rich assemblage of foraminifera. A threefold division of the Kohat Formation after Meissner (1968) is evident in the northern part of the basin, and that division is: the Kaladhand member, the Sadkal member and the Habib Rahi Limestone member in the order of superposition. Whereas, this division is absent in the central and southern parts of the basin. Two sections named Shekhan Nala section and the Hangu section of the Kohat Formation were studied in detail for foraminiferal assemblage, located in the northeastern and northwestern part of the basin, respectively.Depending upon the thickness of the Kohat Formation in these sections 97 and 67 samples were collected from the Shekhan Nala section and the Hangu section, respectively. Both sections have shown an excellent assemblage of larger benthic foraminifera, particularly the Genus Nummulites. These nummulites are widely distributed throughout the formation but are amply available in the middle member of the formation.The different species incorporated during the present study include: Nummulites mamillatus, N. atacicus, N. subirregularis, N. globolus and N. kdjodjokartae. The formation does not contain a large variety of nummulites, but their frequency is remarkable. Some nummulitic shells have abraded margins, thus suggesting their movement along the ocean floor before their deposition. However, the degree of preservation of the shells is generally excellent.On the basis of this faunal assemblage, it can be concluded that the Kohat Formation was deposited in shallow marine environments under low to moderate energy conditions.

description: Avalanche experiments on an erodible substrate are treated in the framework of ``partial fluidization'' model of dense granular flows. The model identifies a family of propagating soliton-like avalanches with shape and velocity controlled by the inclination angle and the depth of substrate. At high inclination angles the solitons display a transverse instability, followed by coarsening and fingering similar to recent experimental observation. A primary cause for the transverse instability is directly related to the dependence of soliton velocity on the granular mass trapped in the avalanche.

Fluctuations of composite observables and stability of statistical systems
Creators: name: Yukalov, V. I.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2006
Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Thermodynamic stability of statistical systems requires that susceptibilities be semipositive and finite. Susceptibilities are known to be related to the fluctuations of extensive observable quantities. This relation becomes nontrivial, when the operator of an observable quantity is represented as a sum of operators corresponding to the extensive system parts. The association of the dispersions of the partial operator terms with the total dispersion is analyzed. A special attention is paid to the dependence of dispersions on the total number of particles N in the thermodynamic limit. An operator dispersion is called thermodynamically normal, if it is proportional to N at large values of the latter. While, if the dispersion is proportional to a higher power of N, it is termed thermodynamically anomalous. The following theorem is proved: The global dispersion of a composite operator, which is a sum of linearly independent self-adjoint terms, is thermodynamically anomalous if and only if at least one of the partial dispersions is anomalous, the power of N in the global dispersion being defined by the largest partial dispersion. Conversely, the global dispersion is thermodynamically normal if and only if all partial dispersions are normal. The application of the theorem is illustrated by several examples of statistical systems. The notion of representative ensembles is formulated. The relation between the stability and equivalence of statistical ensembles is discussed.

Analysis of coherent resonant x-ray scattering and reconstruction of magnetic domains
Creators: name: Rahmim, Arman
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: We have explored the use of coherent resonant x-ray scattering as a powerful technique to study, characterize and reconstruct magnetic domains for antiferromagnetic (AFM) and ferromagnetic (FM) thin films. This method is capable of high-resolution imaging (as it is not limited by optical aberrations), is able to probe buried interfaces and is operational in the presence of other fields. Here we report the first experimental observation of x-ray speckle patterns generated by AFM domains. Resonant x-ray scattering was performed on LaFe0₃ thin films possessing two types of domains with their AFM orientations perpendicular to each other. X-ray magnetic linear dichroism (XMLD) at the FeL₃ absorption edge has been exploited in order to give rise to modulations of the scattering amplitudes according to domain distributions, resulting in magnetic speckle. We also report resonant x-ray scatterng in the transmission geometry from FM domains of Co/Pt multilayers. Magnetic x-ray circular dichroism (MXCD) has been utilized with the contrast arising from the dependence of scattering amplitude on magnetization direction of FM domains, which are oriented normal to the surface (i.e. parallel of antiparallel to photon helicity) due to the perpendicular interfacial anisotropy provided by the broken symmetry at the Co-Pt interface. By tuning the energy to the CoL₃ edge, magnetic speckle is very clearly demonstrated. We have analytically shown that upon reversal of magnetic contrast (tuning of the scattering energy to either of the two crystal field split peaks of the FeL₃ edge in the first experiment, and changing the photon helicity in the second experiment) changes in speckle patterns will be observed solely arising from the interference between roughness and/or pinhole scattering with magnetic scattering. We have developed a new reconstruction technique, upon extension of Fourier transform iterative algorithms previously utilized in other reconstruction tasks, capable of reconstructing AFM and FM magnetic structure from resonant x-ray scattering intensity measurements. This technique is shown to be very successful upon application to noisy simulated data. Using this method, experimental speckle data from the F M domains of the Co/Pt multilayer have been inverted resulting in magnetic domains showing a remarkable similarity to the worm-domain structure of the actual domain distribution imaged using magnetic force microscopy (MFM). This, to our knowledge, has been the first reconstruction of magnetic domains from experimental data. Moreover, direct (non-iterative) reconstruction of FM domains has been shown to be possible upon using small pinholes and/or rough samples with roughness scale comparable to the size of domains.

description: A survey of 459 ranchers was conducted to evaluate managerial, institutional, and social factors that may affect the rate and extent of implementation of various leafy spurge (Euphorbia esula L.) controls in a five-county region in Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wyoming. Ranchers returned 187 questionnaires. Weeds were considered a greater problem for ranchers with leafy spurge than for those without leafy spurge; however, even among ranchers with leafy spurge, there was strong agreement that other ranching issues were of greater concern. Over 65 percent of the respondents indicated that weeds on their ranch were a `minor problem.' Leafy spurge was ranked as the most important weed. Nearly 60 percent of ranchers felt that using herbicides, biological agents, and grazing animals on leafy spurge were economical; however, only 25 percent of ranchers with leafy spurge felt those controls were `very effective.' A majority of ranchers with leafy spurge indicated plans to treat their infestations with herbicides and biological agents in the future. Reasons for not using various leafy spurge controls fell into environmental, educational, and financial categories. Ranchers depend heavily on their county extension agents and local weed control officers for information on weed control. Information on the effectiveness and economics of various controls was most requested by ranchers. The responses of ranchers to various statements on weed and range management indicated that ranchers, as a group, are generally very concerned about weeds in rangeland. Respondents generally felt it makes economic sense to control weeds in rangeland, and felt very strongly that not enough was being done to control weeds on public land. Ranchers realize the difficulty in controlling leafy spurge, but indicated they are still planning on fighting the weed in the future. Financial and educational constraints to adopting and using leafy spurge controls could be abated through university and governmental educational programs and through cost-share or other financial assistance.

description: Within Rotation Curves (RC) is encoded the kinematical state of the stellar disc as well as information about the dynamical mechanisms driving the secular evolution of galaxies. To explain the characteristic features of RCs that arise by the influence of spiral patterns and bar, we study the kinematics of the stellar disc in a set of spiral galaxy models specifically tailored for this purpose. We find that, for our models, the induced non-circular motions are more prominent for spirals with larger pitch angle, the ones typical in late type galaxies. Moreover, inside corotation, stars rotate slower along the spiral arms than along the inter-arm, which translates into a local minima or maxima in the RC, respectively. We also see, from off-plane RC, that the rotation is faster for stars that at observed closer to the plane, and diminishes as one looks farther off plane; this trend is more noticeable in our Sa galaxy model than our Sc galaxy model. Additionally, in a previous work we found that the diagonal ridges in the $V_ϕ-R$ plane, revealed through the Gaia DR2, have a resonant origin due to the spiral arms and bar and that these ridges project themselves as wiggles in the RC; here, we further notice that the development of these ridges, and the development of high orbital eccentricities in the stellar disc are the same. Hence, we conclude that, the following explanations of bumps and wiggles in RCs are equivalent: they are manifestations of diagonal ridges in the $V_ϕ-R$ plane, or of the rearrangement of the orbital eccentricities in the stellar disc.

Radio Emission from Ultra-stripped Supernovae as Diagnostics for Properties of the Remnant Double Neutron Star Binaries

Subjects: subject: High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena (astro-ph.HE)

description: An ultra-stripped supernova (SN) is an explosion of a helium or C+O star whose outer envelope has been stripped away by a companion neutron star. A double neutron star (DNS) binary is believed to be left after the explosion, which will emit the gravitational wave later at the coalescence. Recent detections of a few candidates for the ultra-stripped SN have constrained the properties of the explosion and the progenitor, but little information is given as to whether the remnant DNS binary will merge within the cosmic age. A large fraction of the material stripped away from the helium star through the binary interaction is expected to escape from the system and form circumstellar material (CSM). The CSM should be traced by radio emission induced by the collision with the SN ejecta. Based on the stellar evolution models previously developed, we calculate the expected radio luminosities from ultra-stripped SNe. We find that high radio luminosity at its maximum can be an indicator of small separation of a DNS binary leading to its merger within the cosmic age. Our results can be used to optimize the strategy for the radio follow-up observations such as observational epochs and frequencies.

description: COMPASS is a fixed target experiment presently running at CERN. In 2002, 2003, and 2004 the experiment used a 160 GeV polarized muon beam coming from SPS and scattered off a $^6$LiD target. The nucleons in the target can be polarized either longitudinally or transversely with respect to the muon beam and 20% of the running time has been devoted to transverse polarization. From the transverse polarization data collected in 2002, which correspond to a total integrated luminosity of about 200 pb$^{-1}$, the Collins and the Sivers asymmetries have been determined separately and the preliminary results are presented here.

We report on measurement of the proper motions of these stars using images made by the Hubble Space Telescope's WFPC2 imager and find that there is no evidence for motions above 6.2 km/s for JW 349 and 7.9 km/s for JW 355, while the motion of 5.5 km/s for JW 451 is only slightly larger than the measurement uncertainty of 3.9 km/s. We conclude that there is no observational support for these stars being high velocity runaway stars.

description: A very long baseline experiment, with $L/E$ of $1.6 \times 10^4$ m/MeV, has been proposed as the ideal means to measure $θ_{13}$, including its sign, for neutrino energies less than 50 MeV. Higher energies require consideration of the earth MSW effect. Approximating a constant density mantle, we examine the $ν_e$--$ν_μ$ and $ν_μ$--$ν_μ$ oscillation channels at very long baselines with particular focus upon the deviation of $θ_{23}$ from maximal mixing and the sign of $θ_{13}$. It is demonstrated that measurements of these oscillation channels in this region are sensitive to $θ_{13}$, including its sign, and to $θ_{23}$, including its octant, with a significant correlation between the value of $θ_{13}$ and the difference of $θ_{23}$ from maximal mixing.

description: Spore-forming bacteria modulate their metabolic rate by over five orders of magnitude as they transition between dormant spores and vegetative cells and thus represent an extreme case of phenotypic variation. During environmental changes in nutrient availability, clonal populations of spore-forming bacteria exhibit individual differences in cell fate, the timing of phenotypic transitions and gene expression. One potential source of this variability is metabolic heterogeneity, but this has not yet been measured, as existing single-cell methods are not easily applicable to spores due to their small size and strong autofluorescence. Here, we use the bacterial bioluminescence system and a highly sensitive microscope to measure metabolic dynamics in thousands of B. subtilis spores as they germinate. We observe and quantitate large variations in the bioluminescence dynamics across individual spores that can be decomposed into contributions from variability in germination timing, the amount of endogenously produced luminescence substrate and the intracellular reducing power. This work shows that quantitative measurement of spore metabolism is possible and thus it opens venues for future study of the thermodynamic nature of dormant states.

description: We study the complete Kähler-Einstein metric of a Hartogs domain $\widetilde Ω$, which is obtained by inflation of an irreducible bounded symmetric domain $Ω$, using a power $N^μ$ of the generic norm of $Ω$. The generating function of the Kähler-Einstein metric satisfies a complex Monge-Ampère equation with boundary condition. The domain $\widetilde Ω$ is in general not homogeneous, but it has a subgroup of automorphisms, the orbits of which are parameterized by $X\in\lbrack0,1[$. This allows to reduce the Monge-Ampère equation to an ordinary differential equation with limit condition. This equation can be explicitly solved for a special value $μ_{0}$ of $μ$, called the critical exponent. We work out the details for the two exceptional symmetric domains. The critical exponent seems also to be relevant for the properties of other invariant metrics like the Bergman metric; a conjecture is stated, which is proved for the exceptional domains.

description: Based on the hypothesis that tradeable marketing quotas may be analysed as an economic input in the production process of regulated firms, the standard capital asset pricing model is adapted to assess the impact of expectations of quota rents on Ontario fluid milk quota values. The analysis provides estimates of the marginal impacts on quota values of two variables postulated to proxy the rent that arises from the highly regulated market for this product. The results are consistent with expectations from economic theory for a divisible capital asset. It appears that the regulated marketing system for fluid milk has enabled appreciable returns from improvements in milk production technology and administered prices to be appropriated by producers. Milk production technology advances, proxied by average herd size, and increases in administered prices for milk evidently contribute to increased quota values. An experiment to assess the impact of reductions in milk prices on quota values is reported. The results of the study indicate that, following a 1 percent change in producers' price levels for milk, Ontario fluid milk quota values change by some 0.36 percent immediately and by some 6 percent over a longer-term period of about four years.

description: The behavior of households has traditionally been explained by assuming that a single decision maker maximizes utility over all members of the household subject to a budget constraint. This unitary model of household behavior has been questioned and compared to models that assume that household decisions are made in a bargaining process. We examine household behavior in a bargaining framework by combining stated preference information from individual members of the household with revealed preference information on the household's actual choices. The context of the decision is determining the location of family recreation vacation choice. The resulting model, based on a bargaining framework, provides information on the factors affecting bargaining power as well as information on the degree to which the decision is the result of a bargaining process.

description: Explicit determinations of several classes of trigonometric sums are given. These sums can be viewed as analogues or generalizations of Gauss sums. In a previous paper, two of the present authors considered primarily sine sums associated with primitive odd characters. In this paper, we establish two general theorems involving both sines and cosines, with more attention given to cosine sums in the several examples that we provide.

description: Purpose: Whole-heart MRA techniques typically target pre-determined motion states and address cardiac and respiratory dynamics independently. We propose a novel fast reconstruction algorithm, applicable to ungated free-running sequences, that leverages inherent similarities in the acquired data to avoid such physiological constraints. Theory and Methods: The proposed SIMilarity-Based Angiography (SIMBA) method clusters the continuously acquired k-space data in order to find a motion-consistent subset that can be reconstructed into a motion-suppressed whole-heart MRA. Free-running 3D radial datasets from six ferumoxytol-enhanced scans of pediatric cardiac patients and twelve non-contrast scans of healthy volunteers were reconstructed with a non-motion-suppressed regridding of all the acquired data (All Data), our proposed SIMBA method, and a previously published free-running framework (FRF) that uses cardiac and respiratory self-gating and compressed sensing. Images were compared for blood-myocardium interface sharpness, contrast ratio, and visibility of coronary artery ostia. Results: Both the fast SIMBA reconstruction (~20s) and the FRF provided significantly higher blood-myocardium sharpness than All Data (P<0.001). No significant difference was observed among the former two. Significantly higher blood-myocardium contrast ratio was obtained with SIMBA compared to All Data and FRF (P<0.01). More coronary ostia could be visualized with both SIMBA and FRF than with All Data (All Data: 4/36, SIMBA: 30/36, FRF: 33/36, both P<0.001) but no significant difference was found between the first two. Conclusion: The combination of free-running sequences and the fast SIMBA reconstruction, which operates without a priori assumptions related to physiological motion, forms a simple workflow for obtaining whole-heart MRA with sharp anatomical structures.

description: We study energy deposition by light nuclei in tissue-like media taking into account nuclear fragmentation reactions, in particular, production of secondary neutrons. The calculations are carried out within a Monte Carlo model for Heavy-Ion Therapy (MCHIT) based on the GEANT4 toolkit. Experimental data on depth-dose distributions for 135A-400A MeV C-12 and O-18 beams are described very well without any adjustment of the model parameters. This gives confidence in successful use of the GEANT4 toolkit for MC simulations of cancer therapy with beams of light nuclei. The energy deposition due to secondary neutrons produced by C-12 and Ne-20 beams in a (40-50 cm)^3 water phantom is estimated to 1-2% of the total dose, that is only slightly above the neutron contribution (~1%) induced by a 200 MeV proton beam.

Study of Spin and Decay-Plane Correlations of W Bosons in the e+e- -> W+W- Process at LEP

description: Data collected at LEP at centre-of-mass energies \sqrt(s) = 189 - 209 GeV are used to study correlations of the spin of W bosons using e+e- -> W+W- -> lnqq~ events. Spin correlations are favoured by data, and found to agree with the Standard Model predictions. In addition, correlations between the W-boson decay planes are studied in e+e- -> W+W- -> lnqq~ and e+e- -> W+W- -> qq~qq~ events. Decay-plane correlations, consistent with zero and with the Standard Model predictions, are measured.

description: It has been hypothesized that photons from young, massive star clusters are responsible for maintaining the ionization of diffuse warm ionized gas seen in both the Milky Way and other disk galaxies. For a theoretical investigation of the warm ionized medium (WIM), it is crucial to solve radiation transfer equations where the ISM and clusters are modeled self-consistently. To this end, we employ a Solar neighborhood model of TIGRESS, a magnetohydrodynamic simulation of the multiphase, star-forming ISM, and post-process the simulation with an adaptive ray tracing method to transfer UV radiation from star clusters. We find that the WIM volume filling factor is highly variable, and sensitive to the rate of ionizing photon production and ISM structure. The mean WIM volume filling factor rises to ~0.15 at |z|~1 kpc. Approximately half of ionizing photons are absorbed by gas and half by dust; the cumulative ionizing photon escape fraction is 1.1%. Our time-averaged synthetic H$α$ line profile matches WHAM observations on the redshifted (outflowing) side, but has insufficient intensity on the blueshifted side. Our simulation matches the Dickey-Lockman neutral density profile well, but only a small fraction of snapshots have high-altitude WIM density consistent with Reynolds Layer estimates. We compute a clumping correction factor C = /sqrt~0.2 that is remarkably constant with distance from the midplane and time; this can be used to improve estimates of ionized gas mass and mean electron density from observed H$α$ surface brightness profiles in edge-on galaxies.

description: Productive efficiency for Chinese hybrid and conventional rice production is estimated using a dual stochastic frontier efficiency decomposition model. Results reveal significant differences in technical and allocative efficiency between conventional and hybrid rice production, and indicate significant regional efficiency differences in hybrid rice production, but not in conventional rice production.

description: A very rich phase diagram has recently been found in CeCu$_{2}$Si$_{2}$ from high pressure experiments where, in particular, a transition between an intermediate valence configuration and an integral valent heavy fermion state has been observed. We show that such a valence transition can be understood in the framework of the periodic Anderson model. In particular, our results show a breakdown of a mixed-valence state which is accompanied by a drastic change in the \textit{f} occupation in agreement with experiment. This valence transition can possibly be interpreted as a collapse of the large Fermi surface of the heavy fermion state which incorporates not only the conduction electrons but also the localized \textit{f} electrons. The theoretical approach used in this paper is based on the novel projector-based renormalization method (PRM). With respect to the periodic Anderson model, the method was before only employed in combination with the basic approximations of the well-known slave-boson mean-field theory. In this paper, the PRM treatment is performed in a more sophisticated manner where both mixed as well as integral valent solutions have been obtained. Furthermore, we argue that the presented PRM approach might be a promising starting point to study the competing interactions in CeCu$_{2}$Si$_{2}$ and related compounds.

description: In the past decade, the properties of annihilating dark matter models were examined by various kinds of data, including the data of gamma rays, radio waves, X-ray, positrons, electrons, antiprotons and neutrinos. In particular, most of the studies focus on the data of our Galaxy, nearby galaxies (e.g. M31 galaxy) or nearby galaxy clusters (e.g. Fornax cluster). In this article, we examine the archival radio continuum spectral data of a relatively high-redshift galaxy cluster (A697 cluster) to constrain the properties of annihilating dark matter. We find that leptophilic annihilation channels ($e^+e^-$, $μ^+μ^-$ and $τ^+τ^-$) can give very good fits to the radio continuum spectrum of the A697 cluster.
