description: We present an extensive but concise review of our present understanding, largely based on theory and simulation work from our group, on the equilibrium behavior of solid surfaces and nanosystems close to the bulk melting point. In the first part we define phenomena, in particular surface melting and nonmelting, and review some related theoretical approaches, from heuristic theories to computer simulation. In the second part we describe the surface melting/nonmelting behavior of several different classes of solids, ranging from van der Waals crystals, to valence semiconductors, to ionic crystals and metals. In the third part, we address special cases such as strained solids, the defreezing of glass surfaces, and rotational surface melting. Next, we digress briefly to surface layering of a liquid metal, possibly leading to solid-like or hexatic two dimensional phases floating on the liquid. In the final part, the relationship of surface melting to the premelting of nanoclusters and nanowires is reviewed.

Influence of migration models and thermal torque on planetary growth in the pebble accretion scenario

description: Low-mass planets that are in the process of growing larger within protoplanetary disks exchange torques with the disk and change their semi-major axis accordingly. This process is called type I migration and is strongly dependent on the underlying disk structure. As a result, there are many uncertainties about planetary migration in general. In a number of simulations, the current type I migration rates lead to planets reaching the inner edge of the disk within the disk lifetime. A new kind of torque exchange between planet and disk, the thermal torque, aims to slow down inward migration via the heating torque. The heating torque may even cause planets to migrate outwards, if the planetary luminosity is large enough. Here, we study the influence on planetary migration of the thermal torque on top of previous type I models. We find that the formula of Paardekooper et al. (2011) allows for more outward migration than that of Jiménez & Masset (2017) in most configurations, but we also find that planets evolve to very similar mass and final orbital radius using both formulae in a single planet-formation scenario, including pebble and gas accretion. Adding the thermal torque can introduce new, but small, regions of outwards migration if the accretion rates onto the planet correspond to typical solid accretion rates following the pebble accretion scenario. If the accretion rates onto the planets become very large, as could be the case in environments with large pebble fluxes (e.g., high-metallicity environments), the thermal torque can allow more efficient outward migration. However, even then, the changes for the final mass and orbital positions in our planet formation scenario are quite small. This implies that for single planet evolution scenarios, the influence of the heating torque is probably negligible.

description: Site-specific crop response functions (SSCRFs) are useful for estimating the value of variable rate nitrogen applications (VRA), but appropriate statistical models are necessary. Problems estimating SSCRFs using experimental field data include region, spatial, treatment, and strip dependent heteroskedasticity and correlation. We develop a spatial autoregressive error (SARE) model for dealing with these problems and compare results with previous analysis based on a geostatistical (GEO) model. VRA value estimates for the two models differ notably for 1995 data from Southern Minnesota. Furthermore, findings show that the results of a comparison of model performance are location specific.

Intergenerational solidarity in Asian immigrant families : subtitle the experience of employed Canadians
Creators: name: Lee, Eun-Kyong
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The main purpose of this study was to examine the Asian perspective in regard to the intergenerational solidarity framework developed by Bengtson and his colleagues. Focusing on normative solidarity and functional solidarity within Asian families, adult children's provision of assistance to elderly relatives was investigated in relation to norms of filial responsibility. A subsample of 109 employed Asian immigrants in Canada was selected from a national survey of Work and Family conducted by CARNET (The Canadian Aging Research Network). The study tested three hypotheses: 1) stronger norms of filial responsibility (normative solidarity) are positively associated with higher levels and more hours of assistance provided to elderly relatives (functional solidarity); 2) older age at immigration and/or shorter length of residence (immigrant status) are positively associated with higher levels and more hours of assistance provided to elderly relatives (functional solidarity); and 3) there is an interaction effect of norms of filial responsibility and immigrant status on levels and hours of assistance provided to elderly relatives. The results showed that there was no relationship between norms of filial responsibility and the provision of assistance to elderly relatives; nor was there a relationship between immigrant status and the provision of assistance to elderly relatives. Coresidence with the elderly relative, as an alternative measure of norms of filial responsibility in Asian families, was investigated with regard to the provision of assistance to the elderly relative in the post hoc analysis. The results showed that there was a significant relationship between coresidence and higher levels and more hours of assistance provided to elderly relatives.

description: We consider the problem of gravitational forces between point particles on the branes in a Randall-Sundrum (R-S) two brane model with $S^1/Z_2$ symmetry. Matter is assumed to produce a perturbation to the R-S vacuum metric and all the 5D Einstein equations are solved to linearized order (for arbitrary matter on both branes). We show that while the gauge condition $h_{i5} = 0, i=0,1,2,3$ can always be achieved without brane bending, the condition $h_{55} = 0$ leads to large brane bending. The static potential arising from the zero modes and the corrections due to the Kaluza-Klein (KK) modes are calculated. Gravitational forces on the Planck ($y_1 = 0$) brane recover Newtonian physics with small KK corrections (in accord with other work). However, forces on the TeV ($y_2$) brane due to particles on that brane are strongly distorted by large R-S exponentials.

description: The current status of gaseous transport studies of the singly-charged lanthanide and actinide ions is reviewed in light of potential applications to superheavy ions. The measurements and calculations for the mobility of lanthanide ions in He and Ar agree well, and they are remarkably sensitive to the electronic configuration of the ion, namely, whether the outer electronic shells are 6s, 5d6s or 6s$^2$. The previous theoretical work is extended here to ions of the actinide family with zero electron orbital momentum: Ac$^+$ (7s$^2$, $^1$S), Am$^+$ (5f$^7$7s $^9$S$^\circ$), Cm$^+$ (5f$^7$7s$^2$ $^8$S$^\circ$), No$^+$ (5f$^{14}$7s $^2$S) and Lr$^+$ (5f$^{14}$7s$^2$ $^1$S). The calculations reveal large systematic differences in the mobilities of the 7s and 7s$^2$ groups of ions and other similarities with their lanthanide analogs. The correlation of ion-neutral interaction potentials and mobility variations with spatial parameters of the electron distributions in the bare ions is explored through the ionic radii concept. While the qualitative trends found for interaction potentials and mobilities render them appealing for superheavy ion research, lack of experimental data and limitations of the scalar relativistic ab initio approaches in use make further efforts necessary to bring the transport measurements into the inventory of techniques operating in ''one atom at a time'' mode.

description: A two-stage decision model is developed to assess the effect of perceived soy health benefits on consumers' decisions with respect to soy food. The first stage captures whether or not to consume soy food, while the second stage reflects how often to consume. A conceptual/analytical framework is also employed, combining Lancaster's characteristics model and Fishbein's multi-attribute model. Results show that perceived soy health benefits significantly influence both decision stages. Further, consumers' negative perceptions regarding soy (unappetizing taste and inconvenience) have a substantially greater impact on soy consumption behavior than their perceptions about soy health benefits. This finding carries significant implications for the soy industry. Additionally, this health benefit perception mediates the effect of general health-related factors such as knowledge, motivation, and awareness on soy consumption behavior. Our results also underscore the importance of current FDA-regulated health claims in stimulating consumer demand for soy foods.

The methods presented here may be applied to a single focal plane transit of a planet, to find the values of the geometric-calibration parameters at the epoch of the transit or all the transits over the course of the mission. The pointing requirements are easily met, with the pointing reconstruction being dominated by the errors due to the star tracker.

description: Given its size and importance for global commodity markets, the question of how fast the Chinese economy can grow over the medium term is an important one. This paper addresses this question by examining the evolution of the supply side of the Chinese economy over history and projecting how it will evolve over the next 15 years. Using a Cobb-Douglas production function, we decompose the growth of trend GDP into those of the capital stock, labour, human capital and total factor productivity (TFP) and then forecast trend output growth out to 2030 using a bottom-up approach based on forecasts that we build for each one of these factors. Our paper distinguishes itself from existing work in that we construct a forecast of Chinese TFP growth based on the aggregation of forecasts of its key determinants. Moreover, our analysis is based on a carefully constructed estimate of the Chinese productive capital stock and a measure of human capital – based on Chinese wage survey data – that better reflects the returns to education in China. Our results suggest that Chinese trend output growth will decelerate from around 7% currently to about 5% by 2030, and are consistent with a gradual rebalancing of the Chinese economy characterized by a decline in the investment rate.
description: Compte tenu de la taille de l’économie chinoise et de l’importance de celle-ci pour les marchés mondiaux des produits de base, il est pertinent de s’interroger sur le rythme de croissance potentiel de cette économie à moyen terme. Nous nous prêtons à l’exercice en étudiant l’évolution de l’offre dans le temps au sein de l’économie chinoise et en anticipant la progression de cette dernière dans les 15 années à venir. À l’aide d’une fonction de production Cobb-Douglas, nous décomposons la croissance tendancielle du PIB en quatre facteurs – l’accroissement du stock de capital, la hausse de la main-d’oeuvre, l’augmentation du capital humain et l’amélioration de la productivité totale des facteurs (PTF) –, puis prévoyons la croissance tendancielle de la production jusqu’en 2030 à l’aide d’une approche ascendante fondée sur nos prévisions pour chacun de ces facteurs. Notre article se distingue des travaux actuels en ce que nous construisons une prévision de la croissance de la PTF chinoise à partir de l’agrégation de prévisions concernant ses principaux déterminants. Par ailleurs, notre analyse repose sur une estimation rigoureusement construite du stock de capital productif en Chine et sur une mesure du capital humain – d’après des données d’enquête sur les salaires chinois – qui tient mieux compte des rendements de l’éducation dans ce pays. Nos résultats donnent à penser que la croissance tendancielle de la production chinoise ralentira pour passer d’environ 7 % actuellement à 5 % d’ici 2030, et cadrent avec un rééquilibrage progressif de l’économie chinoise, marqué par une baisse du taux d’investissement.

description: The electronic band structures of orthorhombic (oP28) and monoclinic (mC28) MnSb_2S_4 were investigated with ab initio calculations in the local spin density approximation (LSDA) to the density functional theory (DFT). An analysis of the electronic properties and of the chemical bonding is provided using the augmented spherical wave (ASW) method considering nonmagnetic, ferromagnetic, ferrimagnetic and antiferromagnetic model orderings. In agreement with experimental results both modifications of MnSb_2S_4 are predicted to be antiferromagnetic. While the experimental band gap is missed for the monoclinic polymorph, the calculated band gap for orthorhombic MnSb_2S_4 is close to the experimental one.

description: The problem of orbital stabilization of underactuated mechanical systems with one passive degree-of-freedom (DOF) is revisited. Virtual holonomic constraints are enforced using a continuous controller; this results in a dense set of closed orbits on a constraint manifold. A desired orbit is selected on the manifold and a Poincare section is constructed at a fixed point on the orbit. The corresponding Poincare map is linearized about the fixed point; this results in a discrete linear time-invariant system. To stabilize the desired orbit, impulsive inputs are applied when the system trajectory crosses the Poincare section; these inputs can be designed using standard techniques such as LQR. The Impulse Controlled Poincare Map (ICPM) based control design has lower complexity and computational cost than control designs proposed earlier. The generality of the ICPM approach is demonstrated using the 2-DOF cart-pendulum and the 3-DOF tiptoebot.

description: To remain viable, agriculture in each location must offer returns that are competitive with those from alternative investments and sufficient to cover producers' financial obligations. Economic theory says that rates of return converge over time as resources flow into more-profitable industries and out of less-profitable industries, causing factor price changes. Both traditional growth and trade theories say factor markets will adjust to equalize commodity returns over time. This study examines spatial relationships in agriculture's profitability over time. Results show temporal and spatial convergence of returns consistent with trade and development theories. However, there are profit patterns unique to state/regional agriculture, raising policy implications.

description: We summarize our recent work on supergravity backgrounds dual to part of the Coulomb branch of N=1 theories constructed as marginal deformations of N=4 Yang-Mills. In particular, we present a summary of the behaviour of the heavy quark-antiquark potential which shows confining behaviour in the IR as well as of the spectrum of the wave equation. The reduced supersymmetry is due to the implementation of T-duality in the construction of the deformed supergravity solutions. As a new result we analyze and explicitly solve the Killing spinor equations of the N=1 background in the superconformal limit.

The effect of various consumer characteristics on steak selection is also evaluated. Results suggest that European consumers are significantly heterogeneous in their preferences for beef steak attributes. French and German consumers have a higher willingness to pay to avoid genetically modified feed use than British consumers, while German and British consumers would pay more for growth hormone-free beef. French and German consumers are willing to pay for farm-specific source verification.

description: Quantifying the potential benefits of microgrids in the design phase can support the transition of passive distribution networks into microgrids. At current, reliability and resilience are the main drivers for this transition. Therefore, this paper presents a mathematical optimization model to support the retrofitting of distribution networks into microgrids integrating techno-economic, resilience and reliability objectives. Storage and distributed generation are optionally installed to complement renewable generation, enabling the microgrid to supply priority demands during stochastic islanding events with uncertain duration. For a comprehensive quantification and optimization of microgrid resilience and reliability, islanding due to external events is combined with a detailed model of internal faults. Minimizing the interruption costs yields optimal capacities and placements of distributed energy resources and new lines for reconfiguration. The proposed method produces microgrid designs with up to 95% reliability and resilience gain and moderate cost increase in two benchmark distribution networks using data from the US Department of Energy. The developed methodology is scalable to large networks owing to the tailored Column-and-Constraint-Generation approach.

description: Inverse magnetoresistance has been observed in magnetic tunnel junctions with pinhole nanocontacts over a broad temperature range. The tunnel magnetoresistance undergoes a change of sign at higher bias and temperature. This phenomenon is attributed to the competition between the spin conserved ballistic transport through the pinhole contact where the transmission probability is close to unity and spin polarized tunneling across the insulating spacer with weak transmittivity.

description: Oxadiazoles are a class of heterocyclic aromatic chemical compounds, having different isomeric forms. They appear in a variety of pharmaceutical drugs. Among the drugs based on the 1,3,4-oxadiazole ring, we find for instance an antiviral such as Raltegravir, which is used to treat HIV/AIDS. Here we will discuss Raltegravir and in-silico simulations concerning SARS-COV-2. Besides the compounds based on 1,3,4 rings, there exist those with 1,2,4-oxadiazole rings which are reported as anti-inflammatory and analgesic agents. One of these drugs is Oxolamine. Of this drug we will stress the fact that it is an inhibitor of the formation of N-acetylneuraminic acid, a sialic acid. Let us stress that the main target of SARS-COV-2 is considered the ACE2 receptor. Then, is the sialic acid supporting the virus to enter the cell? A study, 10.1021/acscentsci.0c00855, that used a glyco-nanoparticle platform, reported the discovery that N-acetyl neuraminic acid has affinity toward the SARS-COV-2 spike glycoprotein, that is a glycan-binding function. However, a recent study, 10.1016/j.scib.2021.01.010, which has investigated the binding of the spikes of the virus by means of micro-arrays, tells that no binding with sialic acid residues was detected. In any case, since the sialic acids have an antiviral protective role, it could be relevant to investigate carefully any ligand/protein docking property of Oxolamine (docking with human enzymes, virus enzymes and proteins). Based on the 1,2,4-oxadiazole scaffold, we have also the antiviral Pleconaril, that has been investigated by means of in-silico simulated interactions with SARS-COV-2 proteins. We will discuss also some news oxadiazole compounds, which are given as selective COX-2 inhibitors, antioxidant agents and inhibitors of proteins of the virus, according to in-silico simulations. Therefore, can these drugs have a possible role in the treatment of Covid-19? Or, why can't they be used for?
description: On 8 March 2021, a bioRxiv preprint 10.1101/2021.03.08.434228 has been published evidencing a sialic acid-dependent binding and viral entry of SARS-CoV-2. Then, see PLEASE the new version, for more details.

description: We study a noisy oscillator with pulse delayed feedback, theoretically and in an electronic experimental implementation. Without noise, this system has multiple stable periodic regimes. We consider two types of noise: i) phase noise acting on the oscillator state variable and ii) stochastic fluctuations of the coupling delay. For both types of stochastic perturbations the system hops between the deterministic regimes, but it shows dramatically different scaling properties for different types of noise. The robustness to conventional phase noise increases with coupling strength. However for stochastic variations in the coupling delay, the lifetimes decrease exponentially with the coupling strength. We provide an analytic explanation for these scaling properties in a linearised model. Our findings thus indicate that the robustness of a system to stochastic perturbations strongly depends on the nature of these perturbations.

description: We examine the role of rotation on the evolution and chemical yields of very metal--poor stars. The models include the same physics, which was applied successfully at the solar $Z$ and for the SMC, in particular, shear diffusion, meridional circulation, horizontal turbulence, and rotationally enhanced mass loss. Models of very low $Z$ experience a much stronger internal mixing in all phases than at solar $Z$. Also, rotating models at very low $Z$, contrary to the usual considerations, show a large mass loss, which mainly results from the efficient mixing of the products of the 3$α$ reaction into the H--burning shell. This mixing allows convective dredge--up to enrich the stellar surface in heavy elements during the red supergiant phase, which in turn favours a large loss of mass by stellar winds, especially as rotation also increases the duration of this phase. On the whole, the low $Z$ stars may lose about half of their mass. Massive stars initially rotating at half of their critical velocity are likely to avoid the pair--instability supernova. The chemical composition of the rotationally enhanced winds of very low $Z$ stars show large CNO enhancements by factors of $10^3$ to $10^7$, together with large excesses of $^{13}$C and $^{17}$O and moderate amounts of Na and Al. The excesses of primary N are particularly striking. When these ejecta from the rotationally enhanced winds are diluted with the supernova ejecta from the corresponding CO cores, we find [C/Fe], [N/Fe],[O/Fe] abundance ratios that are very similar to those observed in the C--rich, extremely metal--poor stars (CEMP). We show that rotating AGB stars and rotating massive stars have about the same effects on the CNO enhancements.

description: Scouting is the most widely used integrated pest management technique adopted by U.S. growers. This study applies an implicit demand formulation of the Lichtenberg-Zilberman damage abatement model to data from a survey of Maryland field crop growers to examine differences in pesticide demand between growers using scouts trained and supervised by extension and those using chemical dealer employees or scouting themselves. The results give partial support to those skeptical of the quality of scouting by farmers themselves and by consultants working for chemical dealers. Soybean growers using extension-trained scouts had significantly lower pesticide demand than those using chemical dealer employees or scouting themselves. However, no significant differences were found in the pesticide demands for alfalfa, corn, and small grains.
Boundary layer emission in luminous LMXBs

description: We show that aperiodic and quasiperiodic variability of bright LMXBs - atoll and Z- sources, on ~sec - msec time scales is caused primarily by variations of the boundary layer luminosity. The accretion disk emission is less variable on these time scales and its power density follows 1/f law, contributing to observed flux variation at low frequencies and low energies only. The kHz QPOs have the same origin as variability at lower frequencies - independent of the nature of the "clock", the actual luminosity modulation takes place on the NS surface. The boundary layer spectrum remains nearly constant during luminosity variations and can be represented by the Fourier frequency resolved spectrum. In the range of Mdot~(0.1-1)*Mdot_Edd it depends weakly on the global mass accretion rate and in the limit Mdot~Mdot_Edd is close to Wien spectrum with kT~2.4 keV. Its independence on the Mdot lends support to the suggestion by Inogamov & Sunyaev (1999) that the boundary layer is radiation pressure supported. Based on the knowledge of the boundary layer spectrum we attempt to relate the motion along the Z-track to changes of physically meaningful parameters. Our results suggest that the contribution of the boundary layer to the observed emission decreases along the Z-track from conventional ~50% on the horizontal branch to a rather small number on the normal branch. This decrease can be caused, for example, by obscuration of the boundary layer by the geometrically thickened accretion disk at Mdot~Mdot_Edd. Alternatively, this can indicate significant change of the structure of the accretion flow at Mdot~Mdot_Edd and disappearance of the boundary layer as a distinct region of the significant energy release associated with the NS surface.

description: We report on a precision measurement of the parity-violating asymmetry in fixed target electron-electron (Moller) scattering: A_PV = -131 +/- 14 (stat.) +/- 10 (syst.) parts per billion, leading to the determination of the weak mixing angle \sin^2θ_W^eff = 0.2397 +/- 0.0010 (stat.) +/- 0.0008 (syst.), evaluated at Q^2 = 0.026 GeV^2. Combining this result with the measurements of \sin^2θ_W^eff at the Z^0 pole, the running of the weak mixing angle is observed with over 6 sigma significance. The measurement sets constraints on new physics effects at the TeV scale.

description: We develop a formalism to compute the gravitational multipole moments and ratios of moments of non-extremal and of supersymmetric black holes in four dimensions, as well as of horizonless microstate geometries of the latter. For supersymmetric and for Kerr black holes many of these multipole moments vanish, and their dimensionless ratios are ill-defined. We present two methods to compute these dimensionless ratios, which for certain supersymmetric black holes agree spectacularly. We also compute these dimensionless ratios for the Kerr solution. Our methods allow us to calculate an infinite number of hitherto unknown parameters of Kerr black holes, giving us a new window into their physics.

description: In contrast to providing standard reminders about remembering household budgets, does asking survey respondents about their discretionary income and its use affect their voting responses in a national advisory referendum survey? We explore this question using U.S. household data from a unique set of multi-mode random samples (telephone and Internet surveys), and an advisory referendum concerning the Kyoto Protocol. The contingent valuation method is applied to estimate household willingness to pay (WTP) for a split-sample treatment: respondents who only received a standard reminder of household budgets (control group) versus respondents who received two mental accounting-type questions on discretionary income and its uses (treatment group). Results indicate that the treatment significantly influences voting responses and lowers estimated household WTP.

description: More than two-thirds of Pacific Northwest electricity is produced from hydropower on the Columbia River system. Irrigated agriculture in the region has a large impact on power supplies by diverting water that could be used for hydropower and using electricity for pumping the water. This paper examines the potential for water markets that would permit sales of water from agriculture to the hydropower sector for energy production. It is shown that both farmers and energy consumers could be made better off by adopting water markets to reallocate water among these competing uses.

description: We consider the problem of automatically establishing that a given syntax-guided-synthesis (SyGuS) problem is unrealizable (i.e., has no solution). We formulate the problem of proving that a SyGuS problem is unrealizable over a finite set of examples as one of solving a set of equations: the solution yields an overapproximation of the set of possible outputs that any term in the search space can produce on the given examples. If none of the possible outputs agrees with all of the examples, our technique has proven that the given SyGuS problem is unrealizable. We then present an algorithm for exactly solving the set of equations that result from SyGuS problems over linear integer arithmetic (LIA) and LIA with conditionals (CLIA), thereby showing that LIA and CLIA SyGuS problems over finitely many examples are decidable. We implement the proposed technique and algorithms in a tool called Nay. Nay can prove unrealizability for 70/132 existing SyGuS benchmarks, with running times comparable to those of the state-of-the-art tool Nope. Moreover, Nay can solve 11 benchmarks that Nope cannot solve.
