Influence of simple metals on the stability of $\langle a\rangle$ basal screw dislocations in hexagonal titanium alloys

Subjects: subject: Materials Science (cond-mat.mtrl-sci)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Basal slip acts as a secondary deformation mode in hexagonal close-packed titanium and becomes one of the primary mechanisms in titanium alloyed with simple metals. As these solute elements also lead to a pronounced reduction of the energy of the basal stacking fault, one can hypothesize that they promote basal dissociation of dislocations which can then easily glide in the basal planes. Here, we verify the validity of this hypothesis using ab initio calculations to model the interaction of a screw dislocation with indium (In) and tin (Sn). These calculations confirm that these simple metals are attracted by the stacking fault existing in the dislocation core when it is dissociated in a basal plane, but this interaction is not strong enough to stabilize a planar configuration, even for a high solute concentration in the core. Energy barrier calculations reveal that basal slip, in the presence of In and Sn, proceeds without any planar dissociation, with the dislocation being spread in pyramidal and prismatic planes during basal slip like in pure Ti. The corresponding energy barrier is higher in presence of solute atoms, showing that In and Sn do not ease basal slip but increase the corresponding lattice friction. This strengthening of basal slip by solute atoms is discussed in view of available experimental data.

description: Excerpts from the report Introduction: Over 90 percent of the annual U. S. flaxseed crop is produced in North Dakota, Minnesota, and South Dakota. Since the sales value of flaxseed is based largely upon its oil content, nearly all flaxseed is sold off the farm, whereas varying percentages of other small grains are retained by producers for feed. The bulk of the flaxseed enters the market by way of the country elevators. It has a higher per-unit value than any other small grain, greatly increasing its importance to elevator management. This study was designed to analyze flaxseed marketing at country elevators, the main objective being to determine the relative importance of elevator handling costs, transportation charges, and the total margin of return over costs on a per-bushel basis. This cost analysis should be helpful to flaxseed growers, elevator operators, handlers, and processors, all of whom perform flaxseed marketing functions. Through improved marketing practices, elevator marketing costs may be held down to the benefit of the flaxseed grower, the industry, and the consumer of flaxseed products.

subject: Shale Gas Production

description: This paper uses a structural vector autoregression (SVAR) to model the US natural gas market. Domestic natural gas production has dramatically increased in the late 2000’s as producers implemented improved horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing techniques to extract natural gas from shale deposits. This paper applies techniques developed in the crude-oil literature that incorporate time-varying parameters (TVP), which more realistically model a changing market. Results suggest the supply curve associated with aggregate demand shocks, residential demand shocks, and other natural gas market demand shocks has become more elastic during the latter part of the sample. This latter period corresponds to the recent rapid expansion in shale gas production. By contrast, the curvature of the supply curve associated with precautionary inventory demand shocks has remained at a stable level for most of the sample since 2000, and has not changed significantly even with the rapid growth of shale gas production. Furthermore, it appears that in the new era of ample natural gas supply, the demand curve has also become more elastic, partly reflecting greater flexibility in fuel use substitution.
Interlayer electrodynamics in the organic superconductor k-(BEDT-TTF)_2Cu(NCS)_2: evidence for a transformation within the vortex state

description: A microwave cavity perturbation technique is used to probe the interlayer electrodynamics within the vortex state of the organic superconductor kappa-(BEDT-TTF)2Cu(NCS)2. A Josephson plasma mode is observed which is extremely sensitive to correlations in the locations of vortices in adjacent layers and may, therefore, be used to gauge collective effects between vortices and crystal pinning sites in the title compound. Our previous investigations [M. M. Mola et al., Phys. Rev. B 62 (2000) 5965] revealed a transformation from a correlated quasi-two-dimensional pinned vortex phase, to either a depinned or liquid state. In this study, we carry out a detailed analysis of the magnetic field dependence of the Josephson plasma frequency within the two phases. Our findings agree favorably with recent theoretical models: within the liquid state, the squared plasma frequency decays with the inverse of the magnetic field strength, B; whereas, in the pinned phase, a much slower decay is observed, which is indicative of weak pinning.

description: Estimation of individual treatment effects is commonly used as the basis for contextual decision making in fields such as healthcare, education, and economics. However, it is often sufficient for the decision maker to have estimates of upper and lower bounds on the potential outcomes of decision alternatives to assess risks and benefits. We show that, in such cases, we can improve sample efficiency by estimating simple functions that bound these outcomes instead of estimating their conditional expectations, which may be complex and hard to estimate. Our analysis highlights a trade-off between the complexity of the learning task and the confidence with which the learned bounds hold. Guided by these findings, we develop an algorithm for learning upper and lower bounds on potential outcomes which optimize an objective function defined by the decision maker, subject to the probability that bounds are violated being small. Using a clinical dataset and a well-known causality benchmark, we demonstrate that our algorithm outperforms baselines, providing tighter, more reliable bounds.

description: We adopt a game theoretic framework to model key features of agricultural procurement markets in order to explore the interaction between capacity constraints and spatial competition and the implications for input pricing by processing plants. A key finding is that the Lofgren’s (1986) equivalence between uniform delivery and FOB pricing for profit-maximizing firms extends to a capacity-constrained monopsonist. Our results also show that the relative dominance of alternative pricing strategies and the efficacy of capacity constraints as a collusion mechanism is not impervious to market structure asymmetries. When plants can procure inputs from areas with different market structures, capacity constraints greatly influence the optimal pricing strategy, the total surplus, and the fraction of such surplus appropriated by processing firms. In particular, when operating under binding constraints, firms “escape” competition by procuring more inputs from less competitive areas, while still benefiting from the “collusion-like” benefits of fixed output. Therefore binding constraints and asymmetric market structures reinforce each other to increase the fraction of total surplus appropriated by processing firms.

description: The recent progress in neural architecture search (NAS) has allowed scaling the automated design of neural architectures to real-world domains, such as object detection and semantic segmentation. However, one prerequisite for the application of NAS are large amounts of labeled data and compute resources. This renders its application challenging in few-shot learning scenarios, where many related tasks need to be learned, each with limited amounts of data and compute time. Thus, few-shot learning is typically done with a fixed neural architecture. To improve upon this, we propose MetaNAS, the first method which fully integrates NAS with gradient-based meta-learning. MetaNAS optimizes a meta-architecture along with the meta-weights during meta-training. During meta-testing, architectures can be adapted to a novel task with a few steps of the task optimizer, that is: task adaptation becomes computationally cheap and requires only little data per task. Moreover, MetaNAS is agnostic in that it can be used with arbitrary model-agnostic meta-learning algorithms and arbitrary gradient-based NAS methods. %We present encouraging results for MetaNAS with a combination of DARTS and REPTILE on few-shot classification benchmarks. Empirical results on standard few-shot classification benchmarks show that MetaNAS with a combination of DARTS and REPTILE yields state-of-the-art results.

description: The present theory is based on the assumption that at the very small (Planck scale) distances our space-time is discrete, and this discreteness influences on the Planck scale physics. Considering our (3+1)-dimensional space-time as a regular hypercubic lattice with a parameter $a=λ_\text{P}$, where $λ_\text{P}$ is the Planck length, we have investigated a role of lattice artifact monopoles which is essential near the Planck scale if the Family replicated gauge group model (FRGGM) is an extension of the Standard Model at high energies. It was shown that monopoles have $N$ times smaller magnetic charge in FRGGM than in SM ($N$ is the number of families in FRGGM). These monopoles can give an additional contribution to beta-functions of the renormalisation group equations for the running fine structure constants $α_\text{i}(μ)$ (i=1,2,3 correspond to the U(1), SU(2), and SU(3) gauge groups of the Standard Model). We have used the Dirac relation for renormalised electric and magnetic charges. Also we have estimated the enlargement of a number of fermions in FRGGM leading to the suppression of the asymptotic freedom in the non-Abelian theory. Different role of monopoles in the vicinity of the Planck scale gives rise or to AntiGUT, or to the new possibility of unification of gauge interactions (including gravity) at the scale $μ_\text{GUT}\approx 10^{18.4}$ GeV. We discussed the possibility of the [SU(5)]$^3$ SUSY or [SO(10)]$^3$ SUSY unifications.

description: I provide a general proof of the conjecture that one can attribute an entropy to the area of {\it any} horizon. This is done by constructing a canonical ensemble of a subclass of spacetimes with a fixed value for the temperature $T=β^{-1}$ and evaluating the {\it exact} partition function $Z(β)$. For spherically symmetric spacetimes with a horizon at $r=a$, the partition function has the generic form $Z\propto \exp[S-βE]$, where $S= (1/4) 4πa^2$ and $|E|=(a/2)$. Both $S$ and $E$ are determined entirely by the properties of the metric near the horizon. This analysis reproduces the conventional result for the black-hole spacetimes and provides a simple and consistent interpretation of entropy and energy for De Sitter spacetime. For the Rindler spacetime the entropy per unit transverse area turns out to be $(1/4)$ while the energy is zero. Further, I show that the relationship between entropy and area allows one to construct the action for the gravitational field on the bulk and thus the full theory. In this sense, gravity is intrinsically holographic.

However, Norman did not select the extant specimen from G as a suitable type. Therefore a lectotype is here designated. The three syntypes are all present at G herbarium.

description: We have measured the central stellar velocity dispersion in the host galaxies of 11 BL Lac objects with redshifts z <= 0.125. The range of velocity dispersions, 170-370 km/s, is similar to that of nearby radio galaxies. Using the correlation between stellar velocity dispersion and black hole mass defined for nearby galaxies, we derive estimates of the black hole masses in the range 10^7.9 - 10^9.2 solar masses. We do not find any significant difference between the black hole masses in high-frequency-peaked and low-frequency-peaked BL Lac objects. Combining the velocity dispersions with previously measured host galaxy structural parameters, we find that the host galaxies lie on the fundamental plane of elliptical galaxies. This supports the conclusions of imaging studies that the majority of BL Lac hosts are normal giant ellipticals.

description: Beyond-the-Standard-Model interactions of neutrinos among themselves -- {\it secret interactions} -- in the supernova core may prevent the shock revival, halting the supernova explosion. Besides, if supernova neutrinos en route to Earth undergo secret interactions with relic neutrinos, the neutrino burst reaching Earth may be down-scattered in energy, falling below the detection threshold. We probe secret neutrino interactions through supernova neutrinos and apply our findings to the supernova SN 1987A. We place the most stringent bounds on flavor-universal secret interactions occurring through a new mediator with mass between 10 MeV and 1 GeV.

description: Corporate transparency, which involves financial, governance, and competitive strategy disclosure, may have implications with respect to the development and effectiveness of alliance systems. This study investigates the intensity of competitive strategy disclosure, which has received little attention in the literature by the members of the three major airline alliances, Star, oneworld, and SkyTeam. Through an examination of the corporate annual reports of each participant, the level of strategy disclosure is assessed. Further, based on the seminal work of Gray (1988) that explored the relationship between a country’s cultural profile and the level of disclosure by corporations in that country, the study investigates the relationship between the intensity of disclosure and the cultural identity of each of the airline alliance members.

description: The three member states of the East African Community (EAC) have made great efforts in modernizing their air transport industry in order to meet the increased demand for international tourism and horticultural export trade. The policy adopted by the sub-region, at independence, to regulate the airline industry was the bilateralism approach with emphasis on reciprocity. Such a policy became a bottleneck in the development of the air transport industry in the sub-region. It became apparent that the EAC member states needed efficient air services and not airlines that served mainly as status symbols. However, the last decade witnessed the liberalization of the aviation sector in the sub-region. This liberalization process is part of a proactive policy to encourage global investment in the sub-region. This has led to the adoption of the Yamoussoukro Decision, which calls for the opening of the African skies. This paper, therefore, critically discusses the process of the airline industry liberalization and its prospects for success in the sub-region.

description: A key insight of the bootstrap approach to cosmological correlations is the fact that all correlators of slow-roll inflation can be reduced to a unique building block---the four-point function of conformally coupled scalars, arising from the exchange of a massive scalar. Correlators corresponding to the exchange of particles with spin are then obtained by applying a spin-raising operator to the scalar-exchange solution. Similarly, the correlators of massless external fields can be derived by acting with a suitable weight-raising operator. In this paper, we present a systematic and highly streamlined derivation of these operators (and their generalizations) using tools of conformal field theory. Our results greatly simplify the theoretical foundations of the cosmological bootstrap program.

description: Recent advances in the field of environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding have produced a promising platform for early detection and broad-spectrum monitoring of plant pests and pathogens. To date, the majority of fungal metabarcoding assays have relied upon universal primers amplifying segments of the ribosomal DNA, to ensure broad taxonomic coverage while studying changes in community composition, or more recently, to screen for presence/absence of target species. In a diagnostics framework however, single, universal molecular barcodes do not discriminate accurately enough for many groups of important fungal phytopathogens at the required species level. Here, a modular, multi-barcode amplicon sequencing pipeline was established to provide rapid and reliable diagnostics targeting the Ophiostomatales, an order containing economically important phytopathogens vectored by bark and ambrosia beetles (Curculionidae). Using compositionally varied mock communities, we evaluated five barcoding loci: ITS1, ITS2, the large ribosomal sub-unit (LSU), translation elongation factor 1-alpha (TEF1α) and calmodulin (CAL), for their ability to provide species-level resolution. The sensitivity and detection limit of the assay was established by spiking genomic DNA of the exotic Dutch elm disease pathogen, Ophiostoma novo-ulmi Brasier, into both the controlled mock communities and eDNA sampled from Ips grandicollis (Eichhoff) beetles collected in New South Wales, Australia. The TEF1α barcode successfully detected the Dutch elm pathogen DNA with 100% accuracy down to approx. 5 pg/μl, while the ITS1 barcode had a 100% accuracy down to approx. 0.4 pg/μl within a given sample. Our results demonstrate that a dual-barcode approach targeting the ITS1 and TEF1α regions simultaneously is sufficient for accurate species level detection and characterisation of the Ophiostomatales and offers confident detection of low-abundance taxa (relative read abundances of 0.1%–0.01%). Multi-barcode metabarcoding provides a framework which can quickly and efficiently be adapted to new targets when establishing high throughput diagnostics for post-border biosecurity surveillance of fungal phytopathogens.

description: We study experimentally and theoretically a cold trapped Bose gas under critical rotation, i.e. with a rotation frequency close to the frequency of the radial confinement. We identify two regimes: the regime of explosion where the cloud expands to infinity in one direction, and the regime where the condensate spirals out of the trap as a rigid body. The former is realized for a dilute cloud, and the latter for a Bose-Einstein condensate with the interparticle interaction exceeding a critical value. This constitutes a novel system in which repulsive interactions help in maintaining particles together.

description: This paper analyzes the determinants of motor vehicle fatalities in Kansas. The objectives of the study include the following: $ Conduct a literature review of motor vehicle safety studies. $ Formulate a theoretical model of the determinants of motor vehicle fatalities. $ Estimate the statistical significance of the various determinants. $ Compare the empirical results of the study to other recent state studies of motor vehicle fatalities. The unemployment rate had the expected inverse relationship to fatalities but was statistically significant in only two of seven estimated models. Alcohol consumption and the speed limit on rural interstate highways had the expected positive relationship to fatalities. Other variables that were statistically significant included Kansas seat belt law dummy, the proportion of young and old drivers to the rest of the Kansas population, and the ratio of rural to urban driving. The study measured the effect of three measures of highway safety law enforcement on fatalities: Kansas police per 10,000 population, Kansas police per 100 miles of road, and Kansas per capita expenditure for police protection. All three had the expected negative sign and were highly significant.
The Fuzzy S^4 by Quantum Deformation

description: The fuzzy algebra of S^4 is discussed by quantum deformation. To this end we embed the classical S^4 in the Kaehler coset space SO(5)/U(2). The harmonic functions of S^4 are constructed in terms of the complex coordinates of SO(5)/U(2). Being endowed with the symplectic structure they can be deformed by the Fedosov formalism. We show that they generate the fuzzy algebra \hat A_\infty (S^4) under the * product defined therein, by using the Darboux coordinate system. The fuzzy spheres of higher even dimensions can be discussed similarly. We give basic arguments for the generalization as well.

Subjects: Public Economics

description: A large number of technological advancements have taken place on Indian Railways in recent times. Technological changes resulting in fuel and labor efficiency increase productivity and thereby reduce the cost of production on Indian Railways. To assess the productivity performance on Indian Railways, two outputs and three inputs are considered for the period from 1981-82 to 2002-03. During this period, there was large structural change in capital stocks, especially with respect to rolling stock and equipment. Embodied new technology in terms of diesel and electric engines was added. The study clearly shows that technological progress must have been a very important factor leading to higher productivity.

Jamming and replica symmetry breaking of weakly disordered crystals

description: We discuss the physics of crystals with small polydispersity near the jamming transition point. For this purpose, we introduce an effective single-particle model taking into account the nearest neighbor structure of crystals. The model can be solved analytically by using the replica method in the limit of large dimensions. In the absence of polydispersity, the replica symmetric solution is stable until the jamming transition point, which leads to the standard scaling of perfect crystals. On the contrary, for finite polydispersity, the model undergoes the full replica symmetry breaking (RSB) transition before the jamming transition point. In the RSB phase, the model exhibits the same scaling as amorphous solids near the jamming transition point. These results are fully consistent with the recent numerical simulations of crystals with polydispersity. The simplicity of the model also allows us to derive the scaling behavior of the vibrational density of states that can be tested in future experiments and numerical simulations.

title: Zeitgeschichtliche Impulse für die Rechtsextremismus-Forschung

Publisher: name: ZZF - Centre for Contemporary History: Zeitgeschichte online
Year: 2019

description: Die Erforschung des Rechtsextremismus in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland und der DDR, die bislang vor allem im Rahmen der Politikwissenschaft und der Soziologie erfolgt ist, bedarf dringend der Ergänzung durch zeithistorische Forschungsperspektiven, Fragestellungen und Methoden. In diesem Zusammenhang schlage ich einen akteursorientierten Forschungsansatz vor. Im Mittelpunkt stehen hierbei diejenigen Äußerungsformen des Komplexes „Rechtsextremismus“, in denen einzelne Personen sowie – vor allem – Parteien, Organisationen, Verbände, Vereine, Bewegungen, Netzwerke, Medien und Verlage, Freundeskreise, Klein- und Kleinstgruppen Aktivitäten entfalten. Außerdem werden die soziopolitischen Milieus in den Blick genommen, welche die Lebenswelt der sogenannten Akteur*innen und Gruppen konstituieren. Rechtsextreme Personengruppen und Organisationen handeln historisch zwar nicht im luftleeren Raum, aber sehr wohl als eigenständige Subjekte mit spezifischen Strategien, Interessen und pfadabhängig entstandenen Handlungsmustern.
Road Accident Data, 2010
Road Accident Data, 1985-
Creators: name: Department For Transport, Road Accident Statistics Branch
Publisher: name: UK Data Service
Year: 2011

description: Road accident statistics are collected from information about personal injury road accidents and their consequent casualties, to a common national standard. The aim of collecting and publishing national road accident statistics is to inform public debate and to provide the basis for determining and monitoring effective road safety policies to reduce the road accident casualty toll. They are an essential requirement for monitoring targeted reductions in road accident casualties. The credible monitoring of targeted reductions requires that data are reported consistently and accurately, and both national and local government, and local reporting police forces, work closely to achieve a common reporting standard.

Users should note that for 1985-1991, and from 2002 onwards, the Vehicle Record file does not contain breath test data. This change has been made in order to protect confidentiality.

Data for 1985-1990 were deposited at the Archive at the beginning of 2006. Prior to this, the Archive only held the Road Accident Data series from 1991 onwards. No extra documentation was available for the 1985-1990 data, so users are advised to consult the documentation for the 1991 survey.

Further information about the Road Accident Data series and research based on it may be found on the government road accidents and safety statistics webpages.

These studies comprise information gathered using STATS19 and STATS20 forms.
Long-wavelength approximation for string cosmology with barotropic perfect fluid

description: The field equations derived from the low energy string effective action with a matter tensor describing a perfect fluid with a barotropic equation of state are solved iteratively using the long-wavelength approximation, i.e. the field equations are expanded by the number of spatial gradients. In the zero order, a quasi-isotropic solution is presented and compared with the general solution of the pure dilaton gravity. Possible cosmological models are analyzed from the point of view of the pre-big bang scenario. The second order solutions are found and their growing and decaying parts are studied.
