description: We use a cosmological hydrodynamic simulation of a cold dark matter universe to investigate theoretically the relationship between high redshift galaxies and the Lyman=alpha forest at redshift z=3. Galaxies in the simulation are surrounded by halos of hot gas, which nevertheless contain enough neutral hydrogen to cause a Ly-alpha flux decrement, its strength increasing with galaxy mass. A comparison with recent observational data by Adelberger et. al on the Ly-alpha forest around galaxies reveals that actual galaxies may have systematically less Ly-alpha absorption within 1 Mpc of them than our simulated galaxies. In order to investigate this possibility, we add several simple prescriptions for galaxy feedback on the IGM to the evolved simulation. These include the effect of photoionizing background radiation coming from galactic sources, galactic winds whose only effect is to deposit thermal energy into the IGM, and another, kinetic model for winds, which are assumed to evacuate cavities in the IGM around galaxies. We find that only the latter is able to produce a large effect, enough to match the tentative observational data, given the energy available from star formation in the simulated galaxies. Another intriguing possibility is that a selection effect is responsible, so that galaxies with low Ly-alpha absorption are preferentially included in the sample. This is also viable, but predicts very different galaxy properties (including clustering) than the other scenarios.

description: The $ΛN$ and $ΣN$ interactions are considered at next-to-leading order in SU(3) chiral effective field theory. Different options for the low-energy constants that determine the strength of the contact interactions are explored. Two variants are analysed in detail which yield equivalent results for $ΛN$ and $ΣN$ scattering observables but differ in the strength of the $ΛN \to ΣN$ transition potential. The influence of this difference on predictions for light hypernuclei and on the properties of the $Λ$ and $Σ$ hyperons in nuclear matter is investigated and discussed. The effect of the variation in the potential strength of the $ΛN$-$ΣN$ coupling (also called $Λ-Σ$ conversion) is found to be moderate for the considered $^3_Λ\rm H$ and $^4_Λ\rm He$ hypernuclei but sizable in case of the matter properties. Further, the size of three-body forces and their relation to different approaches to hypernuclear interactions is discussed.

description: This article is an exposition of four loosely related remarks on the geometry of Finsler manifolds with constant positive flag curvature. The first remark is that there is a canonical Kahler structure on the space of geodesics of such a manifold. The second remark is that there is a natural way to construct a (not necessarily complete) Finsler n-manifold of constant positive flag curvature out of a hypersurface in suitably general position in complex projective n-space. The third remark is that there is a description of the Finsler metrics of constant curvature on the 2-sphere in terms of a Riemannian metric and 1-form on the space of its geodesics. In particular, this allows one to use any (Riemannian) Zoll metric of positive Gauss curvature on the 2-sphere to construct a global Finsler metric of constant positive curvature on the 2-sphere. The fourth remark concerns the generality of the space of (local) Finsler metrics of constant positive flag curvature in dimension n+1>2 . It is shown that such metrics depend on n(n+1) arbitrary functions of n+1 variables and that such metrics naturally correspond to certain torsion-free S^1 x GL(n,R)-structures on 2n-manifolds. As a by-product, it is found that these groups do occur as the holonomy of torsion-free affine connections in dimension 2n, a hitherto unsuspected phenomenon.

description: Bedau has developed a general set of evolutionary statistics that quantify the adaptive component of evolutionary processes. On the basis of these measures, he has proposed a set of 4 classes of evolutionary system. All artificial life sytems so far looked at fall into the first 3 classes, whereas the biosphere, and possibly the human economy belongs to the 4th class. The challenge to the artificial life community is to identify exactly what is difference between these natural evolutionary systems, and existing artificial life systems. At ALife VII, I presented a study using an artificial evolutionary ecology called \EcoLab. Bedau's statistics captured the qualitative behaviour of the model. \EcoLab{} exhibited behaviour from the first 3 classes, but not class 4, which is characterised by unbounded growth in diversity. \EcoLab{} exhibits a critical surface given by an inverse relationship between connectivity and diversity, above which the model cannot tarry long. Thus in order to get unbounded diversity increase, there needs to be a corresponding connectivity reducing (or food web pruning) process. This paper reexamines this question in light of two possible processes that reduce ecosystem connectivity: a tendency for specialisation and increase in biogeographic zones through continental drift.

description: India is experiencing a modernisation process characterised by rapid urbanisation and the emergence of a new middle class. This process is expected to lead to a change in lifestyles and dietary patterns, and notably higher consumption of animal based foods. The present article focuses on this changing dietary trend in the city of Vadodara in Gujarat (India). A stratified sample of 432 women and men was selected, representing Brahmin, non-Brahmin and Jain communities from high, medium and low socioeconomic strata. The results revealed that, in the transition process, the supposed protein shift from plant- to animal based foods takes specific forms in this cultural context because of more complex drivers that shape food consumption than the socioeconomic position in the society. It highlights that beyond the supra-determination of castes and socioeconomic classes, major drivers of this consumption are the norms and values attached to foods and their interrelations with eating practices according to spatiotemporal and social dimensions. This Indian case reveals that dietary change is not unidirectional towards the Western model but each culture has a unique form of transition.

description: Metric $k$-center clustering is a fundamental unsupervised learning primitive. Although widely used, this primitive is heavily affected by noise in the data, so that a more sensible variant seeks for the best solution that disregards a given number $z$ of points of the dataset, called outliers. We provide efficient algorithms for this important variant in the streaming model under the sliding window setting, where, at each time step, the dataset to be clustered is the window $W$ of the most recent data items. Our algorithms achieve $O(1)$ approximation and, remarkably, require a working memory linear in $k+z$ and only logarithmic in $|W|$. As a by-product, we show how to estimate the effective diameter of the window $W$, which is a measure of the spread of the window points, disregarding a given fraction of noisy distances. We also provide experimental evidence of the practical viability of our theoretical results.
Trajectory Replanning for Quadrotors Using Kinodynamic Search and Elastic Optimization

description: We focus on a replanning scenario for quadrotors where considering time efficiency, non-static initial state and dynamical feasibility is of great significance. We propose a real-time B-spline based kinodynamic (RBK) search algorithm, which transforms a position-only shortest path search (such as A* and Dijkstra) into an efficient kinodynamic search, by exploring the properties of B-spline parameterization. The RBK search is greedy and produces a dynamically feasible time-parameterized trajectory efficiently, which facilitates non-static initial state of the quadrotor. To cope with the limitation of the greedy search and the discretization induced by a grid structure, we adopt an elastic optimization (EO) approach as a post-optimization process, to refine the control point placement provided by the RBK search. The EO approach finds the optimal control point placement inside an expanded elastic tube which represents the free space, by solving a Quadratically Constrained Quadratic Programming (QCQP) problem. We design a receding horizon replanner based on the local control property of B-spline. A systematic comparison of our method against two state-of-the-art methods is provided. We integrate our replanning system with a monocular vision-based quadrotor and validate our performance onboard.

description: The emerging demand for advanced structural and biological materials calls for novel modeling tools that can rapidly yield high-fidelity estimation on materials properties in design cycles. Lattice spring model (LSM), a coarse-grained particle spring network, has gained attention in recent years for predicting the mechanical properties and giving insights into the fracture mechanism with high reproducibility and generalizability. However, to simulate the materials in sufficient detail for guaranteed numerical stability and convergence, most of the time a large number of particles are needed, greatly diminishing the potential for high-throughput computation and therewith data generation for machine learning frameworks. Here, we implement CuLSM, a GPU-accelerated CUDA C++ code realizing parallelism over the spring list instead of the commonly used spatial decomposition, which requires intermittent updates on the particle neighbor list. Along with the image-to-particle conversion tool Img2Particle, our toolkit offers a fast and flexible platform to characterize the elastic and fracture behaviors of materials, expediting the design process between additive manufacturing and computer-aided design. With the growing demand for new lightweight, adaptable, and multi-functional materials and structures, such tailored and optimized modeling platform has profound impacts, enabling faster exploration in design spaces, better quality control for 3D printing by digital twin techniques, and larger data generation pipelines for image-based generative machine learning models.

description: We have obtained Keck HIRES spectra of three images of the gravitationally lensed QSO 2237+0305 to study low ionization absorption systems and their differences in terms of projected velocity and column density across the lines of sight. We detect CaII absorption from our Galaxy, and a system of High Velocity Clouds from the lensing galaxy (z=0.039). CaII components with total equivalent widths similar to those of Galactic intermediate and high velocity clouds are spread out over several hundred km/s at impact parameters of less than one kpc from the center of the lensing galaxy. We have also studied three low ionization MgII-FeII systems in detail. All three systems cover all three lines of sight, suggesting that the gaseous structures giving rise to MgII complexes are larger than about 0.5 kpc. However, in most cases it is difficult to trace individual MgII `cloudlets' over distances larger than 200-300 pc, indicating that typical sizes of the MgII cloudlets are smaller than the sizes inferred earlier for the individual CIV high ionization gas clouds. We tentatively interpret the absorption pattern of the strongest MgII system in terms of an expanding bubble or galactic wind and show that the possible loci occupied by the model bubble in radius-velocity space overlap with the observed characteristics of Galactic supershells.

Gas Inflow and Star Formation near Supermassive Black Holes: The Role of Nuclear Activity

description: Numerical models of gas inflow towards a supermassive black hole (SMBH) show that star formation may occur in such an environment through the growth of a gravitationally unstable gas disc. We consider the effect of nuclear activity on such a scenario. We present the first three-dimensional grid-based radiative hydrodynamic simulations of direct collisions between infalling gas streams and a $4 \times 10^6~\text{M}_\odot$ SMBH, using ray-tracing to incorporate radiation consistent with an active galactic nucleus (AGN). We assume inflow masses of $ \approx 10^5~\text{M}_\odot$ and explore radiation fields of 10% and 100% of the Eddington luminosity ($L_\text{edd}$). We follow our models to the point of central gas disc formation preceding star formation and use the Toomre Q parameter ($Q_T$) to test for gravitational instability. We find that radiation pressure from UV photons inhibits inflow. Yet, for weak radiation fields, a central disc forms on timescales similar to that of models without feedback. Average densities of $> 10^{8}~\text{cm}^{-3}$ limit photo-heating to the disc surface allowing for $Q_T\approx1$. For strong radiation fields, the disc forms more gradually resulting in lower surface densities and larger $Q_T$ values. Mass accretion rates in our models are consistent with 1%--60% of the Eddington limit, thus we conclude that it is unlikely that radiative feedback from AGN activity would inhibit circumnuclear star formation arising from a massive inflow event.

description: Many years ago Friedman and Sorkin [1] established the existence of certain topological solitonic excitations in quantum gravity called (topological) geons. Geons can have quantum numbers like charge and can be tensorial or spinorial having integer or half-odd integer spin. A striking result is that geons can violate the canonical spin-statistics connection [2,3]. Such violation induces novel physical effects at low energies. The latter will be small since the geon mass is expected to be of the order of Plank mass. Nevertheless, these effects are very striking and include CPT and causality violations and distortion of the cosmic microwave spectrum. Interesting relations of geon dynamics to supersymmetry are also discussed.

Updating the theoretical tidal evolution constants: Apsidal motion and the moment of inertia
Creators: name: Claret, Antonio
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Solar and Stellar Astrophysics (astro-ph.SR)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The theoretical apsidal motion constants are key tools to investigate the stellar interiors in close eccentric binary systems. In addition, these constants and the moment of inertia are also important to investigate the tidal evolution of close binary stars as well as of exo-planetary systems. The aim of the paper is to present new evolutionary models, based on the MESA package, that include the internal structure constants (k$_2$, k$_3$, and k$_4$), the radius of gyration, and the gravitational potential energy for configurations computed from the pre-main-sequence (PMS) up to the first ascent giant branch or beyond. The calculations are available for the three metallicities [Fe/H]= 0.00, -0.50, and -1.00, which take the recent investigations in less metallic environments into account. This new set of models replaces the old ones, published about 15 years ago, using the code GRANADA. Core overshooting was taken into account using the mass-f$_{ov}$ relationship, which was derived semi-empirically for models more massive than 1.2 M$_{\odot}$. The differential equations governing the apsidal motion constants, moment of inertia, and the gravitational potential energy were integrated simultaneously through a fifth-order Runge-Kutta method with a tolerance level of 10$^{-7}$. The resulting models (from 0.8 up to 35.0 M$_{\odot}$) are presented in 54 tables for the three metallicities, containing the usual characteristics of an evolutionary model (age, initial masses, log T$_{\rm eff}$, log g, and log L), the constants of internal structure (k$_2$, k$_3$, and k$_4$), the radius of gyration $β,$ and the factor $α$ that is related with the gravitational potential energy.

description: Of all the issues discussed at {\em Alife VII: Looking Forward, Looking Backward}, the issue of whether it was possible to create an artificial life system that exhibits {\em open-ended evolution} of novelty is by far the biggest. Of the 14 open problems settled on as a result of debate at the conference, some 6 are directly, or indirectly related to this issue. Most people equate open-ended evolution with complexity growth, although a priori these seem to be different things. In this paper I report on experiments to measure the complexity of Tierran organisms, and show the results for a {\em size-neutral} run of Tierra. In this run, no increase in organismal complexity was observed, although organism size did increase through the run. This result is discussed, offering some signposts on path to solving the issue of open ended evolution.

description: One of the fundamental open problems in the area of distributed graph algorithms is the question of whether randomization is needed for efficient symmetry breaking. While there are fast, $\text{poly}\log n$-time randomized distributed algorithms for all of the classic symmetry breaking problems, for many of them, the best deterministic algorithms are almost exponentially slower. The following basic local splitting problem, which is known as the \emph{weak splitting} problem takes a central role in this context: Each node of a graph $G=(V,E)$ has to be colored red or blue such that each node of sufficiently large degree has at least one node of each color among its neighbors. Ghaffari, Kuhn, and Maus [STOC '17] showed that this seemingly simple problem is complete w.r.t. the above fundamental open question in the following sense: If there is an efficient $\text{poly}\log n$-time determinstic distributed algorithm for weak splitting, then there is such an algorithm for all locally checkable graph problems for which an efficient randomized algorithm exists. In this paper, we investigate the distributed complexity of weak splitting and some closely related problems. E.g., we obtain efficient algorithms for special cases of weak splitting, where the graph is nearly regular. In particular, we show that if $δ$ and $Δ$ are the minimum and maximum degrees of $G$ and if $δ=Ω(\log n)$, weak splitting can be solved deterministically in time $O\big(\fracΔδ\cdot\text{poly}(\log n)\big)$. Further, if $δ= Ω(\log\log n)$ and $Δ\leq 2^{\varepsilonδ}$, there is a randomized algorithm with time complexity $O\big(\fracΔδ\cdot\text{poly}(\log\log n)\big)$.

description: In the Hamiltonian formalism, and in the presence of a symmetry Lie group, a variational reduction procedure has already been developed for Hamiltonian systems without constraints. In this paper we present a procedure of the same kind, but for the entire class of the higher order constrained systems (HOCS), described in the Hamiltonian formalism. Last systems include the standard and generalized nonholonomic Hamiltonian systems as particular cases. When restricted to Hamiltonian systems without constraints, our procedure gives rise exactly to the so-called Hamilton-Poincaré equations, as expected. In order to illustrate the procedure, we study in detail the case in which both the configuration space of the system and the involved symmetry define a trivial principal bundle.

Connecting substellar and stellar formation. The role of the host star's metallicity

description: Most of our current understanding of the planet formation mechanism is based on the planet metallicity correlation derived mostly from solar-type stars harbouring gas-giant planets. To achieve a far more reaching grasp on the substellar formation process we aim to analyse in terms of their metallicity a diverse sample of stars (in terms of mass and spectral type) covering the whole range of possible outcomes of the planet formation process (from planetesimals to brown dwarfs and low-mass binaries). Our methodology is based on the use of high-precision stellar parameters derived by our own group in previous works from high-resolution spectra by using the iron ionisation and equilibrium conditions. All values are derived in an homogeneous way, except for the M dwarfs where a methodology based on the use of pseudo equivalent widths of spectral features was used. Our results show that as the mass of the substellar companion increases the metallicity of the host star tendency is to lower values. The same trend is maintained when analysing stars with low-mass stellar companions and a tendency towards a wide range of host star's metallicity is found for systems with low mass planets. We also confirm that more massive planets tend to orbit around more massive stars. The core-accretion formation mechanism for planet formation achieves its maximum efficiency for planets with masses in the range 0.2 and 2 M$_{\rm Jup}$. Substellar objects with higher masses have higher probabilities of being formed as stars. Low-mass planets and planetesimals might be formed by core-accretion even around low-metallicity stars.

description: In this paper we first contribute a large scale online study (N=400) to better understand aesthetic perception of aerial video. The results indicate that it is paramount to optimize smoothness of trajectories across all keyframes. However, for experts timing control remains an essential tool. Satisfying this dual goal is technically challenging because it requires giving up desirable properties in the optimization formulation. Second, informed by this study we propose a method that optimizes positional and temporal reference fit jointly. This allows to generate globally smooth trajectories, while retaining user control over reference timings. The formulation is posed as a variable, infinite horizon, contour-following algorithm. Finally, a comparative lab study indicates that our optimization scheme outperforms the state-of-the-art in terms of perceived usability and preference of resulting videos. For novices our method produces smoother and better looking results and also experts benefit from generated timings.

description: We observed 17 optically-selected, radio-quiet high-redshift quasars with the Chandra Observatory ACIS, and detected 16 of them. The quasars have redshift between 3.70 and 6.28 and include the highest redshift quasars known. When compared to low-redshift quasars observed with ROSAT, these high redshift quasars are significantly more X-ray quiet. We also find that the X-ray spectral index of the high redshift objects is flatter than the average at lower redshift. These trends confirm the predictions of models where the accretion flow is described by a cold, optically-thick accretion disk surrounded by a hot, optically thin corona, provided the viscosity parameter alpha >= 0.02. The high redshift quasars have supermassive black holes with masses ~10^{10} M_{sun}, and are accreting material at ~0.1 the Eddington limit. We detect 10 X-ray photons from the z=6.28 quasar SDS 1030+0524, which may have a Gunn-Peterson trough and be near the redshift of reionization of the intergalactic medium. The X-ray data place an upper limit on the optical depth of the intergalactic medium tau(IGM) < 10^6, compared to the lower limit from the spectrum of Lyalpha and Lybeta, which implies tau(IGM) > 20.

description: Human maintain their body balance by sensorimotor controls mainly based on information gathered from vision, proprioception and vestibular systems. When there is a lack of information, caused by pathologies, diseases or aging, the subject may fall. In this context, we developed a system to augment information gathering, providing the subject with warning audio-feedback signals related to his/her equilibrium. The system comprises an inertial measurement unit (IMU), a data processing unit, a headphone audio device and a software application. The IMU is a low-weight, small-size wireless instrument that, body-back located between the L2 and L5 lumbar vertebrae, measures the subject's trunk kinematics. The application drives the data processing unit to feeding the headphone with electric signals related to the kinematic measures. Consequently, the user is audio-alerted, via headphone, of his/her own equilibrium, hearing a pleasant sound when in a stable equilibrium, or an increasing bothering sound when in an increasing unstable condition. Tests were conducted on a group of six older subjects (59y-61y, SD = 2.09y) and a group of four young subjects (21y-26y, SD = 2.88y) to underline difference in effectiveness of the system, if any, related to the age of the users. For each subject, standing balance tests were performed in normal or altered conditions, such as, open or closed eyes, and on a solid or foam surface The system was evaluated in terms of usability, reliability, and effectiveness in improving the subject's balance in all conditions. As a result, the system successfully helped the subjects in reducing the body swaying within 10.65%-65.90%, differences depending on subjects' age and test conditions.
