Towards an explicit construction of de Sitter solutions in classical supergravity
Creators: name: Kim, Nakwoo
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We revisit the stringy construction of four-dimensional de-Sitter solutions using orientifolds O$8_{\pm}$, proposed by Córdova et al. arXiv:1911.04498. While the original analysis of the supergravity equations is largely numerical, we obtain semi-analytic solutions by treating the curvature as a perturbative parameter. At each order we verify that the (permissive) boundary conditions at the orientifolds are satisfied. To illustrate the advantage of our result, we calculate the four-dimensional Newton constant as a function of the cosmological constant. We also discuss how the discontinuities at O$8_-$ can be accounted for in terms of corrections to the worldvolume action.

Specifically, the columns are Young’s modulus E_x and E_y, cohesion C, uniaxial compressive strength UCS, density ρ, tensile strength TS, brittleness index BI_x and BI_y, Poisson’s ratio ν_x and ν_y, neutron porosity NPR, total organic carbon TOC and average MSE from left to right.
Implementation of the Human Right to Water in Khayelitsha, South Africa: Lessons from a ‘lived experience’ perspective
Creators: name: Rodina, Lucy
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: The recognition of the right to water as a universal human right marks a milestone in the realm of water governance, and yet scholars and policy makers continue to debate the successes and failures of its implementation as the ways this right is negotiated, experienced and struggled for in different contexts still remain key challenges. This paper looks at the on the ground implementation of the human right to water by focusing on lived experiences and material conditions of water access in an impoverished urban area in Cape Town – Site C, Khayelitsha. One of the main findings of this work is that the material conditions of water access and the social and cultural associations they carry accentuate an introduced inequality between shack dwellers and owners of formal housing. I will argue that a focus on materiality within the scholarship on lived experiences with rights can not only add more nuance and better understanding of the quotidian experiences with the right to water, but it can also reveal levels of difference and experiences of relative marginalization produced by the material conditions of water access. I will also argue that the lens of ‘lived experiences of rights’ can help reveal socio-political processes of marginalisation that may remain invisible if we only look at political conditions of implementation (e.g., policy) and at the extent of basic infrastructure coverage (e.g., access to basic water services).

description: The aim of the present dissertation was to study the relationship between magic and rural beliefs. Specifically, we examined the Venetian region of Friuli in northeastern Italy in the late middle Ages and. the treatment of the accused Benandanti through the writs of the time, as recorded by the historian Carlo Ginzburg, in the work of I Benandanti. Stregoneria e Culti agrari tra Cinquecento e Seicento. We then presented in detail the characteristics of their identity, as evidenced by their testimonies, as well as the restrictions that apply to the historical and geographical background of their own. We also referred in detail to the evolution of their treatment by the examiners and we were concerned with the course of their identification with devilish magicians. Another issue we raised was the gender dimension of theirs and we presented the results of the interracial trial by chronology. We also dealt with the Roman and Venetian Holy Inquisition and found their smooth cooperation, however with a background of interests.
Novel Explicit Multi Spin String Solitons in AdS(5)

Year: 2003

description: We find new explicit solutions describing closed strings spinning with equal angular momentum in two independent planes in AdS(5). These are 2N-folded strings in the radial direction and also winding M times around an angular direction. Thus in spacetime they consist of 2N segments. Solutions fulfilling the closed string periodicity conditions exist provided N/M>2, i.e. the strings must be folded at least six times in the radial coordinate. The strings are spinning, or actually orbiting, similarly to solutions found previously in black hole spacetimes, but unlike the one-spin solutions in AdS which spin around their center. For long strings we recover the logaritmic scaling relation between energy and spin known from the one-spin case, but different from other known two-spin cases.

description: Parker Solar Probe (PSP) achieved its first orbit perihelion on November 6, 2018, reaching a heliocentric distance of about 0.165 au (35.55 R$_\odot$). Here, we study the evolution of fully developed turbulence associated with the slow solar wind along the PSP trajectory between 35.55 R$_\odot$ and 131.64 R$_\odot$ in the outbound direction, comparing observations to a theoretical turbulence transport model. Several turbulent quantities, such as the fluctuating kinetic energy and the corresponding correlation length, the variance of density fluctuations, and the solar wind proton temperature are determined from the PSP SWEAP plasma data along its trajectory between 35.55 R$_\odot$ and 131.64 R$_\odot$. The evolution of the PSP derived turbulent quantities are compared to the numerical solutions of the nearly incompressible magnetohydrodynamic (NI MHD) turbulence transport model recently developed by Zank et al. (2017). We find reasonable agreement between the theoretical and observed results. On the basis of these comparisons, we derive other theoretical turbulent quantities, such as the energy in forward and backward propagating modes, the total turbulent energy, the normalized residual energy and cross-helicity, the fluctuating magnetic energy, and the correlation lengths corresponding to forward and backward propagating modes, the residual energy, and the fluctuating magnetic energy.

description: A new U-based compound of the U2Rh2Pb, a new compound of the U2T2X series was prepared in a single-crystal form. Its structure was determined as belonging to the tetragonal Mo2FeB2 structure type with the shortest U-U spacing along the c. U2Rh2Pb undergoes an antiferromagnetic transition at TN of 20 K and exhibits an enhanced Sommerfeld coefficient 150 mJ/molK2. In contrast to the two rhodium analogues U2Rh2In and U2Rh2Sn, the easy-magnetization direction is the c with rather low value of the critical field 4.3 T of the metamagnetic transition of a spin-flip type. The observed dependences of TN and Hc on temperature and magnetic field have been used for constructing a magnetic phase diagram. The experimental observations are mostly supported by first-principles calculations.

Our results indicate that Coulomb corrections may become large for heavy nuclei for certain kinematical regions. The issues of our model are presented in detail and the results are compared to calculations of the Ohio group, where Dirac wave functions were used both for electrons and nucleons. Our results are in good agreement with those obtained by exact calculations.

description: A study of W+W- events accomanied by hard photon radiation produced in e+e- collisions at LEP is presented. Events consistent with being two on-shell W bosons and an isolated photon are selected from 681 pb^-1 of data recorded at 180 GeV < sqrt(s) < 209 GeV. For these data, 187 W+W- candidates are selected with photon energies greater than 2.5 GeV. The selected events are used to determine the W+ W- gamma cross section at five values of sqrt(s). The results are consistent with the Standard Model expectation. These data provide constraints on the related O(alpha) systematic uncertainties on the measurement of the W boson mass at LEP. Finally, the data are used to derive 95% C.L. upper limits on possible anomalous contributions to the W+ W- gamma gamma and W+ W- Z0 gamma vertices.

description: Prolactinomas, the most frequent of pituitary adenomas, are
commonly associated with secondary, hypogonadotrophic hypogonadism in both sexes due to inhibition of pulsatile secretion of gonadotrophin-releasing hormone by the high prolactin levels. In men, the consequent testosterone deficiency can present with sexual dysfunction. Correction of hyperprolactinemia with dopamine agonists such as cabergoline (the most commonly used agent), bromocriptine and quinagolide, or rarely pituitary surgery, usually
leads to recovery of gonadal and sexual function. Testosterone levels failed to normalize entirely in our patient despite recovery and rise of gonadotrophins to supra-physiological levels, revealing a biochemical picture of hypergonadotrophic hypogonadism characteristic of primary testicular failure. Acquired primary hypogonadism can be idiopathic or result from testicular trauma, infection (e.g. mumps orchitis), torsion, tumor or drugs (e.g. glucocorticoids, alkylating agents and ketoconazole), radiation and orchidectomy. Atherosclerotic disease, as in our patient, may be another cause.

While all of these models can be fit using existing user-written commands, formulating the models in the structural equation modeling framework provides deeper insight into how they work. Further, the heterogeneity test for meta-regression and multivariate meta-analysis is readily available from this output.

description: In this article, we describe Stata utilities that facilitate probabilistic record linkage—the technique typically used for merging two datasets with no common record identifier. While the preprocessing tools are developed specifically for linking two company databases, the other tools can be used for many different types of linkage. Specifically, the stnd_compname and stnd_address commands parse and standardize company names and addresses to improve the match quality when linking. The reclink2 command is a generalized version of Blasnik's reclink (2010, Statistical Software Components S456876, Department of Economics, Boston College) that allows for many-to-one matching. Finally, clrevmatch is an interactive tool that allows the user to review matched results in an efficient and seamless manner. Rather than exporting results to another file format (for example, Excel), inputting clerical reviews, and importing back into Stata, one can use the clrevmatch tool to conduct all of these steps within Stata. This helps improve the speed and flexibility of matching, which often involves multiple runs.

description: In this article, we describe the hcost program for estimating mean health care costs and incremental cost-effectiveness ratios with possibly censored data. hcost estimates the mean survival time and the mean costs, as well as their variances and covariance, for a given time horizon. If the group variable is specified, hcost will report the differences between two groups, as well as the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio and its confidence interval (optional). hcost can estimate the mean costs using two methods corresponding to different types of data: the Bang and Tsiatis (2000, Biometrika 87: 329–343) estimator using only the total costs or the Zhao and Tian (2001, Biometrics 57: 1002–1008) estimator when cost-history data are available. The hcost program can also be used to specify the annual discounting rates for survival time and costs.

description: We present a search for excess mid-IR emission due to circumbinary material in the orbital plane of cataclysmic variables (CVs). Our motivation stems from the fact that the strong braking exerted by a circumbinary (CB) disc on the binary system could explain several puzzles in our current understanding of CV evolution. Since theoretical estimates predict that the emission from a CB disc can dominate the spectral energy distribution (SED) of the system at wavelengths > 5 microns, we obtained simultaneous visible to mid-IR SEDs for eight systems. We report detections of SS Cyg at 11.7 microns and AE Aqr at 17.6 microns, both in excess of the contribution from the secondary star. In AE Aqr, the IR likely originates from synchrotron-emitting clouds propelled by the white dwarf. In SS Cyg, we argue that the observed mid-IR variability is difficult to reconcile with simple models of CB discs and we consider free-free emission from a wind. In the other systems, our mid-IR upper limits place strong constraints on the maximum temperature of a putative CB disc. The results show that if any sizeable CB disc are present in these systems, they must be self-shadowed or perhaps dust-free, with the peak thermal emission shifted to far-IR wavelengths.

description: We present the effects of spin-orbit coupling on the low-energy bands and Fermi surface of the recently discovered pressure-induced superconductor CrAs. We apply the Löwdin down-folding procedure to a tight-binding hamiltonian that includes the intrinsic spin-orbit interaction, originating from the Cr 3d electrons as well as from As 4p ones. Our results indicate that As contributions have negligible effects, whereas the modifications to the band structure and the Fermi surface can be mainly ascribed to the Cr contribution. We show that the inclusion of the spin-orbit interaction allows for a selective removal of the band degeneracy due to the crystal symmetries, along specific high symmetry lines. Such release of the band degeneracy naturally determines a reconstruction of the Fermi surface, including the possibility of changing the number of pockets.

description: We present a command, penlogit, for approximate Bayesian logistic regression using penalized likelihood estimation via data augmentation. This command automatically adds specific prior-data records to a dataset. These records are computed so that they generate a penalty function for the log likelihood of a logistic model, which equals (up to an additive constant) a set of independent log prior distributions on the model parameters. This command overcomes the necessity of relying on specialized software and statistical tools (such as Markov chain Monte Carlo) for fitting Bayesian models, and allows one to assess the information content of a prior in terms of the data that would be required to generate the prior as a likelihood function. The command produces data equivalent to normal and generalized log-F priors for the model parameters, providing flexible translation of background information into prior data, which allows calculation of approximate posterior medians and intervals from ordinary maximum likelihood programs. We illustrate the command through an example using data from an observational study of neonatal mortality.

description: The single spin asymmetries for a longitudinally polarized lepton beam or a longitudinally polarized nucleon target in semi-inclusive deep-inelastic scattering are twist-3 observables. We study these asymmetries in a simple diquark spectator model of the nucleon. Analogous to the case of transverse target polarization, non-vanishing asymmetries are generated by gluon exchange between the struck quark and the target system. It is pointed out that the coupling of the virtual photon to the diquark is needed in order to preserve electromagnetic gauge invariance at the twist-3 level. The calculation indicates that previous analyses of these observables are incomplete.

Το βόριο (Β) αποτελεί ένα από τα απαραίτητα για τη θρέψη των φυτών μικροθρεπτικά στοιχεία. Στο έδαφος προστίθεται με διάφορους τρόπους, όπως μέσω του νερού άρδευσης και συχνά υψηλές ποσότητες Β σε νερά άρδευσης συνδυάζονται με αυξημένη αλατότητα. Τα επίπεδα έλλειψης-επάρκειας-τοξικότητας του Β είναι πολύ κοντά το ένα στο άλλο.

description: The purpose of this dissertation was to study the effect of the amount and type of anions of irrigation water or soil solution on the retention of B by soils. Boron (B) is one of the essential micronutrients for plant nutrition. It is added to the soil in various ways, such as through irrigation water and often high amounts of B in irrigation water are combined with increased salinity. The levels of B-deficiency-toxicity-B are very close to each other. Three soils of different granulometric composition (clayey, sandy loamy and sandy loam) and approximately neutral reaction were selected. The other properties affecting B adsorption were within the usual range of typical inorganic soils. Adsorption B was studied at different levels of electrical conductivity (EC 1, 3, 6, 9 dS m-1), created with solutions of potassium bicarbonate (KHCO3) and potassium sulfate (K2SO4), as well as that of each soil (control ). The adsorption isotherms B were extracted and the nonlinear Langmuir and Freundlich equations were adapted to the adsorption data B, using the nonlinear covariance technique

description: Quintessence models based on a scalar field, phi, with an inverse power law potential display simple tracking behavior at early times, when the quintessence energy density, rho_phi, is sub-dominant. At late times, when rho_phi becomes comparable to the matter density, the evolution of phi diverges from its scaling behavior. We calculate the first order departure of phi from its tracker solution at low redshift. Our results for the evolution of phi, rho_phi, Omega_phi, and w are suprisingly accurate even down to z=0. We find that w and Omega_phi are related linearly to first order. We also derive a semi-analytic expression for w(z) which is accurate to within a few percent. Our analytic techniques are potentially applicable to any quintessence model in which the quintessence component comes to dominate at late times.

Simulations of supercooled water under passive or active stimuli

description: We use molecular dynamics simulations to study the behavior of supercooled water subject to different stimuli from a diluted azobenzene hydrophobic probe. When the molecular motor does not fold, it acts as a passive probe, modifying the structure of water around it, while when the motor is active, it induces elementary diffusion processes inside the medium acting mainly on the dynamics. We study two particular densities, the density of ambient water and a lower density around the ambient pressure ice density, chosen to favor high density liquid and low density liquid (LDL) water, respectively. We find that the passive probe induces ever an acceleration or a slowing down of the diffusion process around it depending on the density of water, while the active probe induces acceleration only. We find a crossover between the diffusion coefficients for the two densities near the passive probe, around T = 215 K. This dynamical crossover is associated with a modification of the structure of water near the probe. Structure calculations show a crossover of the proportion of LDL water around the same temperature, suggesting that it induces the observed dynamical crossover. In opposition with these results, the active stimuli increase diffusion for both densities and decrease the proportion of LDL water at low temperatures. However, we also find for the active stimuli a crossover of the LDL proportion between the two densities of study, showing remarkable similarities between active and passive stimulus results.

description: We study the S=1/2 quantum spin ladder system with the four-spin exchange, using density matrix renormalization group method and an exact diagonalization method. Recently, the phase transition in this system and its universality class are studied. But there remain controversies whether the phase transition is second order type or the other type and the nature of order parameter. There are arguments that the massless phase appears. But this does not agree with our previous result. Analyzing DMRG data, we try a new approach in order to determine a phase which appears after the phase transition. We find that the edge state appears in the open boundary condition, investigating excitation energies of states with higher magnetizations.

description: Two therapy applications for hemiplegic arm rehabilitation were developed and tested, along with a motion tracking application that used two interfaces (PlayStation® Move and Microsoft® Kinect™) for videogame play through a social media application developed on Facebook©. To promote affected arm use, users are required to employ bimanual symmetrical hand motions. Preliminary kinematic data analysis of two subjects obtained during user testing is presented. Clinically relevant information, such as range of motion, trunk compensation, and total distance of hand movement was extracted from kinematic data. Results showed the system is capable of accommodating users with large variation in arm function.(Published in the Proceedings of the 10th International Conference on Disability, Virtual Reality & Associated Technologies held 2-4 Sept. 2014 in Gothenburg, Sweden.)

description: En este trabajo se vuelve sobre el Romance de la muerte de la duquesa de Bragança para reexaminar el pionero análisis de Pedro Ferré a la luz de un nuevo testimonio impreso en uno de los pliegos sueltos hallados en Perugia. En primer lugar, se presentan los hallazgos de los investigadores que se han acercado previamente a este romance histórico noticiero que  narra el asesinato de la hija del duque de Medina-Sidonia a manos de su esposo en 1512, en principio por cometer adulterio con un paje. En segundo lugar, se describen los distintos testimonios (todos impresos quinientistas) conservados del romance, que presentan dos versiones con notables diferencias en cuanto a las escenas y numerosas variantes. En tercer lugar, se recuerdan los hechos históricos y los avatares de los protagonistas del romance, así como lo que se sabe del asesinato por la inquisición que se llevó a cabo en el momento. Por último, se analiza la aparición en el romance de dos personajes, el paje y el duque, para contrastar cómo se les representa literariamente con los hechos históricos y advertir así la intencionalidad política y la actitud hacia uno y otro que esconde el poema.

Mining customer product reviews for product development: A summarization process

description: This research set out to identify and structure from online reviews the words and expressions related to customers' likes and dislikes to guide product development. Previous methods were mainly focused on product features. However, reviewers express their preference not only on product features. In this paper, based on an extensive literature review in design science, the authors propose a summarization model containing multiples aspects of user preference, such as product affordances, emotions, usage conditions. Meanwhile, the linguistic patterns describing these aspects of preference are discovered and drafted as annotation guidelines. A case study demonstrates that with the proposed model and the annotation guidelines, human annotators can structure the online reviews with high inter-agreement. As high inter-agreement human annotation results are essential for automatizing the online review summarization process with the natural language processing, this study provides materials for the future study of automatization.

description: In Stata, graphs are usually generated by one call to the graph command. Sometimes, however, it would be convenient to be able to add objects to a graph after the graph has been created. In this article, I provide a command called addplot that offers such functionality for twoway graphs, capitalizing on an undocumented feature of Stata's graphics system.

description: I present four new commands to estimate the effect of a binary endogenous treatment on an ordered outcome. Such models conventionally rely upon joint normality of the unobservables in treatment and outcome processes, as do treatoprobit and switchoprobit. In this article, I highlight the capabilities of treatoprobitsim and switchoprobitsim, which both use a latent-factor structure to model the joint distribution of the treatment and outcome and allow the researcher to relax the assumption of joint normality.

The sumtable command can be used to quickly and easily produce such summary tables, allowing for different types of data to be summarized within one table. In this article, we provide examples and advice for its use.

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: Soft Condensed Matter (cond-mat.soft)

description: We derive the equilibrium conditions for a thermal atom-molecule mixture near a Feshbach resonance. Under the assumption of low collisional loss, thermodynamical properties are calculated and compared to the measurements of a recent experiment on fermionic lithium experiment. We discuss and evaluate possible collision mechanisms which can lead to atom-molecule conversion. Finally, we propose a novel evaporative cooling scheme to efficiently cool the molecules toward Bose-Einstein condensation.

description: We study the Page curve for asymptotically flat eternal Schwarzschild black holes in four and higher spacetime dimensions. Before the Page time, the entanglement entropy grows linearly in time. After the Page time, the entanglement entropy of a given region outside the black hole is largely modified by the emergence of an island, which extends to the outer vicinity of the event horizon. As a result, it remains a constant value which reproduces the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy, consistent with the finiteness of the von Neumann entropy for an eternal black hole.
