description: In this paper we consider an exactly solvable model which displays glassy behavior at zero temperature due to entropic barriers. The new ingredient of the model is the existence of different energy scales or modes associated to different relaxational time-scales. Low-temperature relaxation takes place by partial equilibration of successive lower energy modes. An adiabatic scaling solution, defined in terms of a threshold energy scale $\eps^*$, is proposed. For such a solution, modes with energy $\eps\gg\eps^*$ are equilibrated at the bath temperature, modes with $\eps\ll\eps^*$ remain out of equilibrium and relaxation occurs in the neighborhood of the threshold $\eps\sim \eps^*$. The model is presented as a toy example to investigate conditions related to the existence of an effective temperature in glassy systems and its possible dependence on the energy sector probed by the corresponding observable.

description: Mutual control of the electricity and magnetism in terms of magnetic (H) and electric (E) fields, the magnetoelectric (ME) effect, offers versatile low power-consumption alternatives to current data storage, logic gate, and spintronic devices. Despite its importance, E-field control over magnetization (M) with significant magnitude was observed only at low temperatures. Here we have successfully stabilized a simultaneously ferrimagnetic and ferroelectric phase in a Y-type hexaferrite single crystal up to T=450K and demonstrated the reversal of large non-volatile M by E field close to room temperature. Manipulation of the magnetic domains by E field is directly visualized at room temperature by using magnetic force microscopy. The present achievement provides an important step towards the application of bulk ME multiferroics.

description: In this article, we explain how to calculate adjusted risk ratios and risk differences when reporting results from logit, probit, and related nonlinear models. Building on Stata’s margins command, we create a new postestimation command, adjrr, that calculates adjusted risk ratios and adjusted risk differences after running a logit or probit model with a binary, a multinomial, or an ordered outcome. adjrr reports the point estimates, delta-method standard errors, and 95% confidence intervals and can compute these for specific values of the variable of interest. It automatically adjusts for complex survey design as in the fit model. Data from the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey and the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey are used to illustrate multiple applications of the command.

description: A point particle treatment to the statistical mechanics of BPS black holes in Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton theory is developed. Because of the absence of the static potential, the canonical partition function for $N$ BPS black holes can be expressed by the volume of the moduli space for them. We estimate the equation of state for a classical gas of BPS black holes by Padé approximation and find that the result agrees with the one obtained by the mean-field approximation.

Similarity of magnetized plasma wake channels behind relativistic laser pulses with different wavelengths

description: Using particle-in-cell simulations of relativistic laser plasma wakes in the presence of an external magnetic field, we demonstrate that there exists a parameter window where the dynamics of the magnetized wake channel are largely independent of the laser wavelength $λ_{\rm las}$. One condition for this manifestation of "limited similarity" is that the electron density $n_{\rm e}$ is highly subcritical, so that the plasma does not affect the laser. The freedom to choose a convenient laser wavelength can be useful in experiments and simulations. In simulations, an up-scaled wavelength (and, thus, a coarser mesh and larger time steps) reduces the computational effort, while limited similarity ensures that the overall structure and evolutionary phases of the wake channel are preserved. In our demonstrative example, we begin with a terrawatt$\cdot$picosecond pulse from a ${\rm CO}_2$ laser with $λ_{\rm las} = 10\,μ{\rm m}$, whose field reaches a relativistic amplitude at the center of a sub-millimeter-sized focal spot. The laser is shot into a sparse deuterium gas ($n_{\rm e} \sim 10^{13}\,{\rm cm}^{-3}$) in the presence of a tesla-scale magnetic field. Limited similarity is demonstrated in 2D for $4\,μ{\rm m} \leq λ_{\rm las} \leq 40\,μ{\rm m}$ and is expected to extend to shorter wavelengths. Assuming that this limited similarity also holds in 3D, increasing the wavelength to $40\,μ{\rm m}$ enables us to simulate the after-glow dynamics of the wake channel all the way into the nanosecond regime.

description: Coalescing binary neutron stars (NS) are expected to be an important source of gravitational waves (GW) detectable by laser interferometers. We present here a simple method for determining the compactness ratio M/R of NS based on the observed deviation of the GW energy spectrum from point-mass behavior at the end of an inspiral event. Our method is based on the properties of quasi-equilibrium binary NS sequences and does not require the computation of the full GW signal h(t). Combined with the measurement of the NS masses from the GW signal during inspiral, the determination of M/R will allow very strong constraints to be placed on the equation of state of nuclear matter at high densities.

description: We propose the use of quality-diversity algorithms for mixed-initiative game content generation. This idea is implemented as a new feature of the Evolutionary Dungeon Designer, a system for mixed-initiative design of the type of levels you typically find in computer role playing games. The feature uses the MAP-Elites algorithm, an illumination algorithm which divides the population into a number of cells depending on their values along several behavioral dimensions. Users can flexibly and dynamically choose relevant dimensions of variation, and incorporate suggestions produced by the algorithm in their map designs. At the same time, any modifications performed by the human feed back into MAP-Elites, and are used to generate further suggestions.

We argue that the distinction between matter and vacuum is artificial in the context of ND field theory. The concept of a cosmological ``constant'' (which measures the energy density of the vacuum in 4D) should be replaced by that of a series of variable fields whose sum is determined by a solution of ND field equations in a well-defined manner.

Effect of pre-existing baryon inhomogeneities on the dynamics of quark-hadron transition
Creators: name: Sanyal, Soma
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2002
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Baryon number inhomogeneities may be generated during the epoch when the baryon asymmetry of the universe is produced, e.g. at the electroweak phase transition. The regions with excess baryon number will have a lower temperature than the background temperature of the universe. Also the value of the quark hadron transition temperature $T_c$ will be different in these regions as compared to the background region. Since a first-order quark hadron transition is very susceptible to small changes in temperature, we investigate the effect of the presence of such baryonic lumps on the dynamics of quark-hadron transition. We find that the phase transition is delayed in these lumps for significant overdensities. Consequently, we argue that baryon concentration in these regions grows by the end of the transition. We briefly discuss some models which may give rise to such high overdensities at the onset of the quark-hadron transition.

description: As recently found by Youm [hep-th/0201268], the entropy of the universe will no longer be expressible in the conventional Cardy-Verlinde form if one relaxes the radiation dominance state equation and instead assumes a more general equation of the form p=(γ-1)ρ, with γa constant. We show that Youm's generalized entropy formula remains valid when the cosmic fluid is no longer ideal, but is allowed to possess a constant bulk viscosity ζ. We supply our analysis with some numerical estimates, thus calculating the scale factor a(t) for a k=0 universe, and also calculate via a perturbative expansion in ζthe magnitude of the viscosity-induced correction to the scale factor if the universe is radiation dominated.

description: Construction industry plays a fundamental part in the economic growth of any country as it stimulates the development of other industries too (Rum and akash, 2011). Delay can be defined as when project exceeds the time frame which was mentioned in contract on which all parties agreed for time period of the project (Ahmed et al.,2002).Delay in construction projects can be defined as when the project is not completed within given time. Construction projects are facing problem of delay worldwide. This problem varies from country to country and project to project (Aziz et al.,2016). According to Hasan et al.,(2014) that delay in construction can be defined as postponing the project completion time due to predicted and unpredicted causes. Construction industry is not well reputed in terms of completion of projects within time. Ignorance of delay analysis resulted many projects fail to complete on given schedule (Duran, 2006). According to Trigunarsuah (2004) that in Indonesia only 47% of projects were completed within time frame, 38% of projects were behind time frame and 15% of projects were completed ahead of time frame. Many researches have been carried out on identifying factors which causes delay in construction industry of Pakistan but no any single study has been found to identify factors which cause delay in construction of dam projects in Pakistan

description: A voting center is in charge of collecting and aggregating voter preferences. In an iterative process, the center sends comparison queries to voters, requesting them to submit their preference between two items. Voters might discuss the candidates among themselves, figuring out during the elicitation process which candidates stand a chance of winning and which do not. Consequently, strategic voters might attempt to manipulate by deviating from their true preferences and instead submit a different response in order to attempt to maximize their profit. We provide a practical algorithm for strategic voters which computes the best manipulative vote and maximizes the voter's selfish outcome when such a vote exists. We also provide a careful voting center which is aware of the possible manipulations and avoids manipulative queries when possible. In an empirical study on four real-world domains, we show that in practice manipulation occurs in a low percentage of settings and has a low impact on the final outcome. The careful voting center reduces manipulation even further, thus allowing for a non-distorted group decision process to take place. We thus provide a core technology study of a voting process that can be adopted in opinion or information aggregation systems and in crowdsourcing applications, e.g., peer grading in Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs).

 Docophorus cursor Burmeister, 1838: 426.
 Docophorus cursor Nitzsch, Giebel’s, 1874 [sic]; Kellogg 1906: 317.
 Philopterus cursor (Nitzsch, in Burmeister, 1838) [sic]; Harrison 1916: 92.
 Strigiphilus cursor (Burmeister, 1838); Hopkins & Clay 1952: 339.
Syntypes probably lost (Hopkins 1949: 32).
 Type host: Asio flammeus flammeus (Pontoppidan, 1763).
 Galápagos host: Asio flammeus galapagoensis (Gould, 1837).
Galápagos locality: Isla Santiago.
Galápagos references: Kellogg (1906)?; Thompson (1939: 17); this paper.
 Other significant references: Carriker (1966: 85); Clay (1966: 841, fig. 15); Price et al. (2003: 239).
Material examined: 4 males (1 sample, MONZ).
 Remarks: The record of Strigiphilus cursor in Kellogg (1906: 317; as D. cursor) is actually from Clarion Island, which is not part of the Galápagos Islands. Thompson (1939: 17) incorrectly added “ Galapagos Is.”, probably because of the host identity. However, considering the high level of contaminations that occurred within the louse collections reported by Kellogg (1906) (see Palma 1994b), it is possible that the lice actually originated from a Galápagos owl. Even if Kellogg’s material did not originate from the Galápagos, the 1992 Galápagos Expedition confirmed the presence of this louse species on a Galápagos owl. Strigiphilus is a new genus record for the Galápagos Islands, and S. cursor should also be regarded as a new record for the archipelago. At present, Asio flammeus is the only host species of Strigiphilus cursor (Price et al. 2003: 239).

description: There is a growing consensus that it is difficult to pick instruments that perfectly satisfy the exclusion restriction. Drawing on results from Berkowitz, Caner, and Fang (2012, Journal of Econometrics 166: 255–266), we provide in this article a nontechnical summary of how valid inferences can be made when instrumental variables come close to satisfying the exclusion restriction. Although the Anderson–Rubin (1949, Annals of Mathematical Statistics 20: 46–63) test statistic is robust to weak identification, it assumes that the instruments are perfectly orthogonal to the structural error term and is therefore oversized under mild violations of the orthogonality condition. The fractionally resampled Anderson–Rubin (FAR) test is a modification of the Anderson–Rubin test that accounts for violations of the orthogonality condition. We show that in small samples, the size of the resampling block of the FAR test can be modified to obtain valid critical values and analyze its size and power properties. We focus on power and not on size-adjusted power because the FAR test uses only one critical value in its application. We also describe user-written commands to implement the Anderson–Rubin and FAR tests in Stata.

description: This paper investigates whether Burkinabe maize farmers’ fertilizer-use decisions are correlated with their risk and time preferences. We conducted a survey and a series of hypothetical experiments on a sample of 1,500 farmers. We ?nd that more patient farmers do use more fertilizer, but it is only because they plant more maize (a fertilizer-intensive crop) rather than because they use more fertilizer per hectare of maize planted. Conversely, we ?nd no statistically signi?cant link between risk aversion and fertilizer use. We use a simple two-period model, which suggests that risk aversion may indeed have an ambiguous effect on fertilizer use.

ETYMOLOGY: The specific name is a patronym in honor of Toadshow Ltd, a multimedia, web design, and print services company based in Brisbane, Queensland, and a supporter of spider taxonomy.
 DIAGNOSIS: Males of C. toadshow resemble C. foxae in having a long sternal concavity, but the patch of clavate setae is anteriorly oval in C. toadshow, does not reach the anterior margin, and is without a median band (fig. 24); the fangs are long and crossed with laterally directed tips (fig. 24). Females can be easily distinguished from all other Cavisternum species by their rectangular dark epigastric field (fig. 169).
MALE: Total length 1.15. Carapace 0.50 long, 0.39 wide; abdomen 0.65 long, 0.33 wide. Carapace, sternum, mouthparts, and abdominal scutae pale orange, legs yellow. Sternum longer than wide, with long oval field of clavate setae, covering about half of sternum width. Concavity fully covered with clavate setae (fig. 24). Chelicerae straight, fangs directed posteriorly, extremely long, crossed, with tips directed outward. Abdomen cylindrical, epigastric scutum not protuding. Cymbium-bulb complex oval with thin, medially bent embolus and rounded basal projection (figs. 166–168).
FEMALE: Total length 1.12. Carapace 0.49 long, 0.38 wide; abdomen 0.63 long, 0.35 wide. Coloration as in male. Epigastric area with dark rectangular field, copulatory duct relatively short and the same width at each end (figs. 169, 170).

Qualitative Properties of Magnetic Fields in Scalar Field Cosmology

description: We study the qualitative properties of the class of spatially homogeneous Bianchi VI_o cosmological models containing a perfect fluid with a linear equation of state, a scalar field with an exponential potential and a uniform cosmic magnetic field, using dynamical systems techniques. We find that all models evolve away from an expanding massless scalar field model in which the matter and the magnetic field are negligible dynamically. We also find that for a particular range of parameter values the models evolve towards the usual power-law inflationary model (with no magnetic field) and, furthermore, we conclude that inflation is not fundamentally affected by the presence of a uniform primordial magnetic field. We investigate the physical properties of the Bianchi I magnetic field models in some detail.

description: We present a symmetric double-sided pillared phononic crystals (PPnCs) that can emulate both quantum spin Hall effect (QSHE) and quantum valley Hall effect (QVHE) by solely imposing different geometric perturbations. Indeed, the Dirac cones can occur in the low (deep subwavelength) and high frequency regime by judiciously turning the parameters of the attached pillars and even a double Dirac cone can be achieved. We realize the valley-protected, the pseudospin-protected or the pseudospin-valley coupled edge states with the proposed platform. Besides, we show a variety of refraction phenomena (positive, negative and evanescent) of the valley-polarized edge state at the zigzag termination when emulating QVHE. Further, we illustrate the valley-dependent feature of the pseudospin-valley coupled edge state and demonstrate the valley based splitting of the pseudospin-protected edge states in a Y-junction wave guide.

description: This paper compares the sensitivity of US cotton exports to the bilateral exchange rate for three Asian textile producers with a long series of yearly data from 1978 to 2010. The model of the cotton market includes an alternate supply, US production cost, and local mill use. Effects of each bilateral exchange rate vary considerably across these countries. Aggregation and the related trade weighted exchange rate lead to misleading results. Changes in the rate of depreciation have more robust effects than depreciation, suggesting a wealth effect on cash balance.
