Gravitational Wave Background of Neutron Star-White Dwarf Binaries
Creators: name: Cooray, Asantha
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We discuss the stochastic background of gravitational waves from ultra compact neutron star-white dwarf (NS-WD) binaries at cosmological distances. Under the assumption that accreting neutron stars and donor white dwarf stars form most of the low mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs), our calculation makes use of recent results related to the luminosity function determined from X-ray observations. Even after accounting for detached NS-WD binaries not captured in X-ray data, the NS-WD background is at least an order of magnitude below that due to extragalactic white dwarf-white dwarf binaries and below the detectability level of the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) at frequencies between 10^-5 Hz and 10^-1 Hz. While the extragalactic background is unlikely to be detected, we suggest that around one to ten galactic NS-WD binaries may be resolved with LISA such that their positions are determined to an accuracy of several degrees on the sky.

Fidelity of a sequence of SWAP operations on a spin chain

description: We consider the ``transport'' of the state of a spin across a Heisenberg-coupled spin chain via the use of repeated SWAP gates, starting with one of two states---one in which the leftmost spin is down and the others up, and one in which the leftmost two spins are in a singlet state (i.e., they are entangled), and the others are again all up. More specifically, we ``transport'' the state of the leftmost spin in the first case and the next-to-leftmost spin in the second to the other end of the chain, and then back again. We accomplish our SWAP operations here by increasing the exchange coupling between the two spins that we operate on from a base value $J$ to a larger value $J_\text{SWAP}$ for a time $t=π\hbar/4J_\text{SWAP}$. We determine the fidelity of this sequence of operations in a number of situations---one in which only nearest-neighbor coupling exists between spins and there is no magnetic dipole-dipole coupling or noise (the most ideal case), one in which we introduce next-nearest-neighbor coupling, but none of the other effects, and one in which all of these effects are present. In the last case, the noise is assumed to be quasistatic, i.e., the exchange couplings are each drawn from a Gaussian distribution, truncated to only nonnegative values. We plot the fidelity as a function of $J_\text{SWAP}$ to illustrate various effects, namely crosstalk due to coupling to other spins, as well as noise, that are detrimental to our ability to perform a SWAP operation. Our theory should be useful to the ongoing experimental efforts in building semiconductor-based spin quantum computer architectures.
description: 8 pages, 9 figures. Added brief discussions of the effects of a finite rise time and the global $e^{-i\pi/4}$ phase on the SWAP operations. Also added a discussion of the oscillations in fidelity for small exchange ($J\leq 5J_0$). Published in Phys. Rev. B; this is the published version

description: Agricultural activities jointly generate various externalities. Hedonic pricing method allows for their valuation. Previous hedonic studies have estimated the value of the externalities generated by a given agricultural activity in a single parameter. Based on simple theoretical model, we illustrate that this parameter captures the sum of the different externalities generated by the activity. We explain that this parameter can differ at different spatial scale. Using specific spatial econometric models with spatial lags on the explanatory variables, we distinguish between the value of infra-municipal agricultural externalities and the value of extra-municipal agricultural externalities with larger spatial range arising from the same agricultural source. Among the estimated models, the spatial lag of the exogenous variable and the general nested spatial models are selected as the best models. We find that swine activities present negative effects at all scales whereas dairy cattle activities, including grassland management, present negative effects at the infra-municipality scale but positive spillovers.

description: Web applications development involves managing a high diversity of files and resources like code, pages or style sheets, implemented in different languages. To deal with the automatic generation of custom-made configurations of web applications, industry usually adopts annotation-based approaches despite the majority of studies encourage the use of composition-based approaches to implement Software Product Lines. Recent work tries to combine both approaches to get the complementary benefits. However, technological companies are reticent to adopt new development paradigms such as feature-oriented programming or aspect-oriented programming. Moreover, it is extremely difficult, or even impossible, to apply these programming models to web applications, mainly because of their multilingual nature, since their development involves multiple types of source code (Java, Groovy, JavaScript), templates (HTML, Markdown, XML), style sheet files (CSS and its variants, such as SCSS), and other files (JSON, YML, shell scripts). We propose to use the Common Variability Language as a composition-based approach and integrate annotations to manage fine grained variability of a Software Product Line for web applications. In this paper, we (i) show that existing composition and annotation-based approaches, including some well-known combinations, are not appropriate to model and implement the variability of web applications; and (ii) present a combined approach that effectively integrates annotations into a composition-based approach for web applications. We implement our approach and show its applicability with an industrial real-world system.

description: The purpose of this study is to analyze how plant genetic resources are conserved and protected, and to suggest ways of conserving and protecting these resources for their sustainable use. For the systematic conservation and protection of indigenous resources, the following measures are suggested: First, a united management system should be introduced for the systematic conservation of genetic resources, in which management agencies completely share the information and data, and the whole process such as investigation, prospecting, evaluation and conservation is promoted and planned by a coordination agency. Second, the scope of plant genetic resources collection and conservation should be expanded with an aim to collect information on all species of indigenous genetic resources. Third, in order to protect our right to genetic resources, the access and benefit shares (ABS) agreement should be signed.

description: We examine the X-ray spectra and variability of the sample of X-ray sources with L_X = 10^{31}-10^{33} erg s^{-1} identified within the inner 9' of the Galaxy. Very few of the sources exhibit intra-day or inter-month variations. We find that the spectra of the point sources near the Galactic center are very hard between 2--8 keV, even after accounting for absorption. When modeled as power laws the median photon index is Gamma=0.7, while when modeled as thermal plasma we can only obtain lower limits to the temperature of kT>8 keV. The combined spectra of the point sources is similarly hard, with a photon index of Gamma=0.8. Strong line emission is observed from low-ionization, He-like, and H-like Fe, both in the average spectra and in the brightest individual sources. The line ratios of the highly-ionized Fe in the average spectra are consistent with emission from a plasma in thermal equilibrium. This line emission is observed whether average spectra are examined as a function of the count rate from the source, or as a function of the hardness ratios of individual sources. This suggests that the hardness of the spectra may in fact to due local absorption that partially-covers the X-ray emitting regions in the Galactic center systems. We suggest that most of these sources are intermediate polars, which (1) often exhibit hard spectra with prominent Fe lines, (2) rarely exhibit either flares on short time scales or changes in their mean X-ray flux on long time scales, and (3) are the most numerous hard X-ray sources with comparable luminosities in the Galaxy.

description: By bosonizing the electronic t-J model exactly on any two-dimensional (2D) lattices, and integrating out the gauge fluctuations combined to slave particles beyond mean fields, we get a theory in terms of physical Cooper pair and spin condensates. In the sense of mutual Berry phase they turns out to be dual to each other. The mutual-duality is the missing key in the resonant-valance-bond idea\cite{rvb} to work as a paradigm of doped 2D Mott insulators. We argue that essential aspects of high-$T_c$ phenomenology find natural solutions in the theory. We also provide interesting predictions for systems on hexagonal lattices.

description: World agricultural markets are entering another key period of policy adjustment as the Doha Development Agenda negotia-tion is being finalized. This paper investigates likely global market effects of expansion of access into the market in Japan and Korea and reduced subsidy for japonica rice in the United States. Using an equilibrium displacement model, we simulate changes in market prices, quantities and other aggregates in the presence of policy shocks. Results show that when U.S. subsidies decrease by 50 percent in addition to the full implementation of quota expansion in Korea and Japan, U.S. production decreases by more than 30 percent, and the U.S. is no longer an exporter. Instead, China increases its exports by 53 percent. The rest of the world increases exports by 14 percent and the world price rises by 0.7 percent. Changes in the Korean market are modest. Since Korea imports solely on the basis of its quota schedule, the Korean rice market is not connected to the world market, and these quotas remain relatively small compared to the size of the Korean market. The rice price in Korea decreases by 1.3 percent and production falls by 3.9 percent.

description: Christology is the effort to find the answer on the Christ illustration in human life which is always experiencing development. Christology should build based on the inter-textual and intercultural. With noticing the cultural context, so Christology can develop itself widely and always up to date, the literary quality aimed to find the dynamics of the development of Christology in the Javanese farmer community context. The Research yields important findings about Christology. Learn from Christological thinking which always develops according to the times, it might be developed the Christological thinking in the Javanese farmer communities’ context. The myth regarding Dewi Sri (and Sadono) and Ratu Adil, which has become ingrained in the Javanese farmer community, can be appointed the development of a distinctive Christology for Javanese farmer community. The developed Christology should describe that Christ as the incarnate form of Allah can be found in the realm of agriculture. Christ presents in nature (Panentheism) becomes increasingly context for Javanese farmer community, Christology which emphasize Jesus as incarnation form, Jesus is the compassion of God, Jesus is the political act of God's love which experienced by Javanese farmer community. This finding has benefit for the efforts to develop the Church in the context of agricultural society in Java.

description: We investigate spin-polarized transport phenomena through double quantum dots coupled to ferromagnetic leads in series. By means of the slave-boson mean-field approximation, we calculate the conductance in the Kondo regime for two different configurations of the leads: spin-polarization of two ferromagnetic leads is parallel or anti-parallel. It is found that transport shows some remarkable properties depending on the tunneling strength between two dots. These properties are explained in terms of the Kondo resonances in the local density of states.

Logarithmic corrections to the Ising model free energy on lattices with conical singularities

description: The free energy of a two-dimensional system at criticality has in general an universal part proportional the logarithm of the system size. This term was shown by Cardy and Peschel to be related to the curvature of the system, with smooth metrics and singular points contributing in distinct ways. In this paper we present a numerical study of the effect, for the Ising model on lattices with various topologies from the sphere to genus two surfaces. The nature of this term for specific lattice models is an open problem because the distinction between the two kinds of contributions involves an interchange of the limit of singular curvature with the thermodynamic limit. For all the lattices studied we found precise agreement with the conformal field theory prediction for conical singularities.

description: The Narrow Line Seyfert 1 galaxy NGC4051 shows unusual low flux states, lasting several months, when the 2-10 keV X-ray spectrum becomes unusually hard (photon index<1) while the spectrum at lower X-ray energies is dominated by a large soft excess. A Chandra TOO of the low state has shown that the soft excess and hard components are variable and well-correlated. The variability of the hard component rules out an origin in a distant reflector. Here we present results from a recent XMM-Newton TOO of NGC4051 in the low state, which allows a much more detailed examination of the nature of the hard and soft spectral components in the low state. We demonstrate that the spectral shape in the low state is consistent with the extrapolation of the spectral pivoting observed at higher fluxes. The XMM-Newton data also reveals the warm absorbing gas in emission, as the drop in the primary continuum flux unmasks prominent emission lines from a range of ion species.

description: We have probed the superconducting proximity effect through long high-quality monocrystalline Ag nanowires, by realizing Josephson junctions of different lengths, with different superconducting materials. Thanks to the high number of junctions probed, both the contact resistance and electron diffusion constant could be determined, enabling a comparison of the measured critical current to theoretical expectation, over the entire regime from short to long diffusive junction. Although the length dependence of the critical current is as expected, the amplitude of the $R_{N}I_c$ product is smaller than predicted by theory. We also address the magnetic field dependence of the critical current. The quasi-gaussian decay of the critical current with field expected of a long narrow junction is observed for all superconducting contacts we used except for aluminum. We present the striking non-monotonous effect of field on the critical current of junctions with aluminum contacts, and analyze it in terms of improved quasiparticle thermalization by a magnetic field.

description: The paper develops an organizational economics approach to explaining rural governance by viewing rural partnerships as a governance mechanism that can be used for organization of rural development activities along with markets and hierarchies. Utilizing the framework of the property rights theory of the firm and transaction cost economics, it is argued that rural partnerships exhibit superior transaction cost-economizing attributes due to their ability to accommodate high commonality of interests of local actors in the sustainable development of their rural areas. This argumentation is based on the proposition to regard the commonality of transaction participants' interests, rather than transaction attributes, as a major determinant of suitability of governance mechanisms to specific transactions. The paper concludes with the discussion of limitations of partnership-based governance.

description: This paper examines coping strategies of pastoral and agro- pastoral communities in six districts of Eastern Ethiopia. Data collected from a random sample of 360 households were used in the study. The results of the study indicate that the study area has been stricken by recurrent droughts since the early 1980s and that drought has increasingly devastating effects on the lives of pastoral and agro-pastoral communities. In response to the degrading production environment, the pastoral and agro- pastoral communities become more provident and employ a variety of techniques to cushion themselves against contingencies. Moreover, the results of the study show that most of the coping strategies are aimed at counteracting the detrimental effects of droughts after their occurrence rather than identifying the root causes of droughts. Finally, we suggest the need for political actors to move from crisis management through emergency intervention to improving the capability to cope in changing environmental conditions.

description: We present a generalised framework for resolving the electrochemistry-diffusion interface and modelling hydrogen transport near a crack tip. The adsorption and absorption kinetics are captured by means of Neumann-type generalised boundary conditions. The diffusion model includes the role of trapping, with a constant or evolving trap density, and the influence of the hydrostatic stress. Both conventional plasticity and strain gradient plasticity are used to model the mechanical behaviour of the solid. Notable differences are found in the estimated crack tip hydrogen concentrations when comparing with the common procedure of prescribing a constant hydrogen concentration at the crack surfaces.

description: Over the past few decades the management of public old growth forest in the United States has been the focus of public debate. The tradeoffs between timber harvesting and amenity benefits of standing forests have been a key issue in this debate with national forest managers critiqued for both harvesting old growth forests too slowly or too quickly. To date there has been little analysis of the actual values placed on amenity benefits of old growth on national forests. The objective of this study is to analyze old growth forest management on U.S. national forests including the implicit amenity values of national forest managers. Using a data set from western Washington we estimate the implicit values of non-timber services by U.S. national forest managers. The average non-timber service changes during the study period, and increases as the stock of old growth forest decreases. The estimated value of per acre non-timber services is considerably higher than the values from previous studies. The results also suggest that national forest managers have at least partially recognized the non-timber benefits of old growth forests.

description: We refit the NRL tight binding parameterization for Aluminium by Mehl \emph{et al} [Phys. Rev. B, 61, 4894 (2000)], to a database generated via full potential Linearized Augmented Plane Wave (LAPW) Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations. This is performed using a global optimization algorithm paying particular attention to reproducing the correct order of the angular symmetries of the tight binding fcc and bcc bandstructure. The resulting parameterization is found to better predict the hcp phase and both the stable and unstable planar stacking fault defect energies.

description: Both depression and asthma have a significant impact on the quality of life for individuals. Studies have shown that patients with depression often experience comorbid asthma; however, the precise relationship between these two conditions remains unclear. The objective of this study is to investigate the causal relationship between depression and asthma. In a cross-sectional study, we utilized data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2009-2014 and employed logistic regression to assess the correlation between depression and asthma. In the subsequent Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis, we selected single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) closely linked to both depression and asthma as instrumental variables, based on summary data from genome-wide association studies (GWAS). The inverse variance weighted method (IVW) was then applied to ascertain the causal relationship between depression and asthma. Based on the results of the cross-sectional study, it was found that the status of depression was significantly associated with a higher risk of asthma (OR = 2.15, 95%CI = 1.79 ∼ 2.59, p < 0.001). Furthermore, in the MR analysis, a causal relationship was further identified between depression, severe depression, and the increased incidence of asthma (OR = 1.11, 95%CI = 1.05 ∼ 1.18, p < 0.001), (OR = 1.01, 95%CI = 1.01 ∼ 1.02, p < 0.001); the results of the reverse MR analysis indicated no causal relationship between asthma and the increased incidence of depression and severe depression (OR = 1.01, 95%CI0.99 ∼ 1.03, p = 0.50), (OR = 1.07, 95%CI: 0.82 ∼ 1.40, p = 0.64). This study has revealed a causal relationship between depression and an increased risk of developing asthma, offering new insights for the clinical intervention of both asthma and depression.

description: O atual cenário causado pelo novo coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2019) trouxe a imperativa necessidade
 de desenvolvimento de pesquisas que visem amortizar a taxa de transmissão, a busca da cura e de
 tratamentos que promovam a redução de mortes de indivíduos acometidos por Covid-19. Neste contexto, a pesquisa de novas substâncias de combate ao vírus que explora compostos naturais oriundos da flora brasileira tem um papel muito importante. O presente trabalho estudou a interação dos principais compostos do óleo essencial de Copaíba (Copaifera langsdorffii Desf) contra os 15
 principais alvos conhecidos que favorecem a entrada do novo Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) no corpo humano: SARS-CoV-2 Mpro (protease principal), endoribonuclease NSP-15, RNA polimerase RNAdependente, ECA-2 e domínio Spike-S, através de uma análise computacional in-silico. A
 caracterização do óleo de copaíba foi realizada por cromatografia gasosa acoplada a
 espectrofotometria de massas (CG-MS). AutoDockTools 4.2, AutoDock Vina, APBS e PyMol foram usados para a pesquisa de acoplamento e interação molecular. As moléculas estudadas foram previamente tratadas, desidratadas, adicionado hidrogênios em cadeias polares e plotado em um grid proporcional suficiente para encobrir as macromoléculas e os ligantes. O óleo essencial de copaíba apresentou 10 principais moléculas analisadas por cromatografia, com destaque para o β-bisaboleno (23,6%), β-cariofileno (21,7%) e α-bergamoteno (20,5%), corroborando com resultados encontrados por outros autores. O β-selineno (6.1%) apresentou um resultado de energia de ligação significativo
 de -7.2 , ligando-se a nove aminoácidos através de ligações hidrofóbicas na protease principal do vírus (SARS-CoV-2 Mpro). Ademais, as superfícies eletrostáticas obtidas através do uso do APBS
 (Advanced Poisson-Boltzmann Solver) demonstrou que a molécula liga-se no isocontorno da
 superfície de potencial eletrostático, demonstrando uma afinidade com regiões apolares, ligando-se por interações hidrofóbicas com os resíduos: Phe 3, Arg 4, Lis 5, Phe 291, Glu 288, Trp 207 e Leu 282, todos encontrados na cadeia A da protease principal do vírus. Os demais compostos estudados
 presentes no óleo essencial também apresentaram excelentes resultados de energia de ligação contra os principais alvos de inibição considerados neste estudo, indicando um importante caminho
 na descoberta de novas drogas para fins terapêuticos. Em conclusão, sesquiterpenos presentes no óleo essencial de Copaifera langsdorffii Desf representam uma promissora fonte de obtenção de
 compostos terapêuticos para utilização contra o novo coronavírus e seus potenciais danos à saúde
 humana.

description: Measured values of the differential cross section for pion-nucleon charge exchange are presented at momenta 148, 174, 188, 212, 238, 271, 298, and 323 MeV/c, a region dominated by the Delta resonance. Complete angular distributions were obtained using the Crystal Ball detector at the Alternating Gradient Synchrotron (AGS) at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL). Statistical uncertainties of the differential cross sections are typically 2-6%, exceptions being the results at the lowest momentum and at the most forward measurements of the five lowest momenta. We estimate the systematic uncertainties to be 3-6%.

description: Η διπλωματική εργασία πραγματεύεται τη βεντέτα στις διάφορες εκδοχές της και το πως διαμορφώνεται η οικονομία της βίας σ’ αυτήν κατά την περίοδο της βυζαντινής αυτοκρατορίας και της τουρκοκρατίας στον- με τα σημερινά δεδομένα-ελληνικό χώρο. Αρχικά, έγινε μια σύντομη αναφορά στην ιστορική εξέλιξη της βεντέτας στις αρχαίες κοινωνίες αλλά και στη διαλεκτική σχέση της με το νόμο. Στη συνέχεια, προχωρήσαμε σε μια διερεύνηση των συνθηκών μέσα στις οποίες η βεντέτα από την αρχική της μορφή που περιλαμβάνει τη μείζονα βία ( jus talionis) μετασχηματίστηκε σε ρυθμιστικό μηχανισμό, που μας επιτρέπει την ανταπόδοση σε είδος (αποζημίωση) για την απόσβεση μιας αρχικά αρνητικής πράξης κατά τις ιστορικές περιόδους του Βυζαντίου και της Τουρκοκρατίας. Η επισκόπηση της ποινικής νομοθεσίας, των θεσμών αποζημίωσης και του σκοπού που επιτελούσαν αλλά και της εθιμικής επίλυσης των κοινωνικών συγκρούσεων παράλληλα με το επίσημο σύστημα ποινικής καταστολής, διαγράφει το πλαίσιο μέσα στο οποίο διερευνάται το πως η βία αυξομειώνεται αλλά και μεταβάλλεται ποιοτικά. Στο τέλος, διατυπώθηκαν τα συμπεράσματα της εργασίας, όσον αφορά τη διαμόρφωση της οικονομίας της βίας στην ιδιωτική εκδίκηση κατά τις ιστορικές αυτές περιόδους
description: This thesis addresses the evolution of vendetta (private revenge) and its relation to punishment, as well as how the “economy of violence” is shaped during the periods of the Byzantine Empire and of the Ottoman Rule in – according to modern geographical definitions – Greece. The beginning of the thesis briefly assesses the historical evolution of vendetta in ancient societies, including its dialectical relation to the law. Furthermore, the thesis examines the conditions through which vendetta was transformed from its initial form, that included the ‘’highest form of violance’’ (jus talionis), to a regulatory mechanism, which allows for payback in kind (compensation) in order to erase an initial negative act, during the periods of the Byzantine Empire and the Turkish Rule. The review of the criminal legislation, of the compensation mechanisms, of the purpose which they served and of the customary dispute resolution of social conflicts, shapes the context through which the thesis examines how violence fluctuates and changes qualitatively. Finally, the conclusion of the thesis is set out, in regards to the formation of the economy of violence in the context of private revenge (feud), during the aforementioned historical periods
