Transport of congestion in two-phase compressible/incompressible flows

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2016

description: We study the existence of weak solutions to the two-phase model of crowd motion. The model encompasses the flow in the uncongested regime (compressible) and the congested one (incompressible) with the free boundary separating the two phases. The congested regime appears when the density in the uncongested regime $\varrho^*(t,x)$ achieves a threshold value $\varrho^*(t,x)$ that describes the comfort zone of individuals. This quantity is prescribed initially and transported along with the flow. We prove that this system can be approximated by the fully compressible Navier-Stokes system with a singular pressure, supplemented with transport equation for the congestion density. We also present the application of this approximation for the purposes of numerical simulations in the one-dimensional domain.

Temperature dependent electrical transport for the metallic samples show signatures of first order phase transitions which are consistent with charge or spin density wave like phase transitions recently predicted theoretically. Additionally, grazing-incidence small-angle x-ray scattering (GISAXS) reveal that the room temperature surface structure of Na$_{2}$IrO$_3$ does not change after plasma etching.

Oscillations and damping in the fractional Maxwell materials

Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: Soft Condensed Matter (cond-mat.soft)

description: This paper examines the oscillatory behaviour of complex viscoelastic systems with power law-like relaxation behaviour. Specifically, we use the fractional Maxwell model, consisting of a spring and fractional dashpot in series, which produces a power-law creep behaviour and a relaxation law following the Mittag-Leffler function. The fractional dashpot is characterised by a parameter beta, continuously moving from the pure viscous behaviour when beta=1 to the purely elastic response when beta=0. In this work, we study the general response function and focus on the oscillatory behaviour of a fractional Maxwell system in four regimes: stress impulse, strain impulse, step stress, and driven oscillations. The solutions are presented in a format analogous to the classical oscillator, showing how the fractional nature of relaxation changes the long-time equilibrium behaviour and the short-time transient solutions. We specifically test the critical damping conditions in the fractional regime, since these have a particular relevance in biomechanics.

Prediction of Maximum Sustainable Yield and Optimum Fishing Effort for the Nile Perch (Lates Lates niloticus L.) in Lake Chamo, Ethiopia
Creators: name: Shija, Buchale Shishitu

description: The study was conducted to assess the current status and determine the maximum sustainable yield level of exploitation for the Nile perch ( (Lates niloticus L., 1758) a stock in Lake Chamo, Ethiopia. Data were collected from eight major landing sites of Lake Chamo for three days in a week for ten months (February to November, 2018). The total length, sample weight and total weight of L. niloticus caught by the fishers and an the fishing efforts were the basic information collected from these sites. Totally, 544 L. niloticus samples were collected in 120 days. Jones length based cohort analysis model and length length-based based Thompson and Bell yield prediction models were employed to estimate the maximum sustainable yield. Overall about 0.25 million L. niloticus populations were estimated to exist in the lake. The estimated current annual yield was 102.4 tons per year. However, the predicted value of MSY was 74 tons obtained at f MSY of 9,007 nets. The maturity length (L 50 ) was 100 cm and out of the total annual catches 87.9% of L. niloticus were below their respective size of maturity. Thus, the reduction of yield was due to experiencing both growth and recruitment overfishing with increased eased effort and reduced mesh size. Lates niloticus of Lake Chamo is overfished. . Therefore, conservation and rehabilitation as well as co-management management practices are required for sustainable utilization of the resource.

description: Hair cells, the sensory receptors of the internal ear, subserve different functions in various receptor organs: they detect oscillatory stimuli in the auditory system, but transduce constant and step stimuli in the vestibular and lateral-line systems. We show that a hair cell's function can be controlled experimentally by adjusting its mechanical load. By making bundles from a single organ operate as any of four distinct types of signal detector, we demonstrate that altering only a few key parameters can fundamentally change a sensory cell's role. The motions of a single hair bundle can resemble those of a bundle from the amphibian vestibular system, the reptilian auditory system, or the mammalian auditory system, demonstrating an essential similarity of bundles across species and receptor organs.

description: Regular observations of active processes in the solar atmosphere have been started using the first stage of the multiwave Siberian Radioheliograph (SRH), a T-shaped 48-antenna array with a 4-8 GHz operating frequency range and a 10 MHz instantaneous receiving band. Antennas are mounted on the central antenna posts of the Siberian Solar Radio Telescope. The maximum baseline is 107.4 m, and the angular resolution is up to 70". We present examples of observations of the solar disk at different frequencies, "negative" bursts, and solar flares. The sensitivity to compact sources reaches 0.01 solar flux units ($\approx 10^{-4}$ of the total solar flux) with an accumulation time of about 0.3 s. The high sensitivity of SRH enables monitoring of solar activity and allows studying active processes from characteristics of their microwave emission, including faint events, which could not be detected previously.

Discovering Dataset Nature through Algorithmic Clustering based on String Compression

description: Text datasets can be represented using models that do not preserve text structure, or using models that preserve text structure. Our hypothesis is that depending on the dataset nature, there can be advantages using a model that preserves text structure over one that does not, and viceversa. The key is to determine the best way of representing a particular dataset, based on the dataset itself. In this work, we propose to investigate this problem by combining text distortion and algorithmic clustering based on string compression. Specifically, a distortion technique previously developed by the authors is applied to destroy text structure progressively. Following this, a clustering algorithm based on string compression is used to analyze the effects of the distortion on the information contained in the texts. Several experiments are carried out on text datasets and artificially-generated datasets. The results show that in strongly structural datasets the clustering results worsen as text structure is progressively destroyed. Besides, they show that using a compressor which enables the choice of the size of the left-context symbols helps to determine the nature of the datasets. Finally, the results are contrasted with a method based on multidimensional projections and analogous conclusions are obtained.
Competition and Selection Among Conventions

description: In many domains, a latent competition among different conventions determines which one will come to dominate. One sees such effects in the success of community jargon, of competing frames in political rhetoric, or of terminology in technical contexts. These effects have become widespread in the online domain, where the data offers the potential to study competition among conventions at a fine-grained level. In analyzing the dynamics of conventions over time, however, even with detailed on-line data, one encounters two significant challenges. First, as conventions evolve, the underlying substance of their meaning tends to change as well; and such substantive changes confound investigations of social effects. Second, the selection of a convention takes place through the complex interactions of individuals within a community, and contention between the users of competing conventions plays a key role in the convention's evolution. Any analysis must take place in the presence of these two issues. In this work we study a setting in which we can cleanly track the competition among conventions. Our analysis is based on the spread of low-level authoring conventions in the eprint arXiv over 24 years: by tracking the spread of macros and other author-defined conventions, we are able to study conventions that vary even as the underlying meaning remains constant. We find that the interaction among co-authors over time plays a crucial role in the selection of them; the distinction between more and less experienced members of the community, and the distinction between conventions with visible versus invisible effects, are both central to the underlying processes. Through our analysis we make predictions at the population level about the ultimate success of different synonymous conventions over time--and at the individual level about the outcome of "fights" between people over convention choices.

description: Transition-metal dichalcogenide IrTe2 has attracted attention because of striped lattice, charge ordering and superconductivity. We have investigated the surface structure of IrTe2, using low energy electron diffraction (LEED) and scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). A complex striped lattice modulations as a function of temperature is observed, which shows hysteresis between cooling and warming. While the bulk 5x1 and 8x1 phases appear at high temperatures, the surface ground state has the 6x1 phase, not seen in the bulk, and the surface transition temperatures are distinct from the bulk. The broken symmetry at the surface creates a quite different phase diagram, with the coexistence of several periodicities resembling devil's staircase behavior.

description: Remarkable progress can be observed in recent years in the controlled emission, guiding and detection of coherent, free electrons. Those methods were applied in matter wave interferometers leading to high phase sensitivities and novel sensor technologies for dephasing influences such as mechanical vibrations or electromagnetic frequencies. However, the previous devices have been large laboratory setups. For future sensor applications or tests of the coherence properties of an electron source, small, portable interferometers are required. Here, we demonstrate a compact biprism electron interferometer that can be used for mobile applications. The design was optimized for small dimensions by beam path simulations. The interferometer has a length between the tip and the superposition plane before magnification of only 47 mm and provides electron interference pattern with a contrast up to 42.7 %. The detection of two dephasing frequencies at 50 and 150 Hz was demonstrated applying second order correlation and Fourier analysis of the interference data.

description: Ultrafast plasmonics of novel materials has emerged as a promising field of nanophotonics bringing new concepts for advanced optical applications. Ultrafast electronic photoexcitation of a diamond surface and subsequent surface plasmon-polaritons (SPPs) excitation are studied both theoretically and experimentally - for the first time. After photoexcitation on the rising edge of the pulse, transient surface metallization was found to occur for laser intensity near 18 TW/cm$^2$ due to enhancement of the impact ionization rate; in this regime, the dielectric constant of the photoexcited diamond becomes negative in the trailing edge of the pulse thereby increasing the efficacy with which surface roughness leads to inhomogeneous energy absorption at the SPP wave-vector. These transient SPP waves imprint permanent fine and coarse surface ripples oriented perpendicularly to the laser polarization. The theoretical modeling is supported by the experiments on the generation of laser-induced periodic surface structure on diamond surface with normally incident 515-nm, 200-fs laser pulses. Sub-wavelength ($Λ\approx 100$ nm) and near wavelength ($Λ\approx 450$ nm) surface ripples oriented perpendicularly to the laser polarization emerged within the ablative craters with the increased number of laser shots; the spatial periods of the surface ripples decrease with the increasing exposure following known cumulative trends. The comparison between experimental data and theoretical predictions makes evident the role of transient changes of the dielectric permittivity of diamond during the initial stage of periodic surface ripple formation upon irradiation with ultrashort laser pulses.

description: The present research empirically investigated the export comparative advantage of India’s cotton products and determined the potential target importing cotton markets using annual dated data sourced from FAO database, spanning from 2000 to 2013.The collected data were analyzed using the static revealed comparative indexes, neoclassical comparative index (Trade mapping analysis), market structure index (Herfindahl-Hirschman Index) and prioritization index models. The results of the findings showed that India has poor comparative advantages with the exception of cotton lint in the exportation of its cotton products due to specialization in the production of lint. However, from the sector point of view the country had revealed comparative advantage in the exportation of cotton. Furthermore, empirical evidence showed that the cotton lint been the major export earning India emerged in the export market over the study period despite commanding small share in the market, and is among the winner groups. Though, for the overall sector, the country is at a threshold in the export market and among the winner groups. Therefore, study recommends the need for increase productivity and production cut-costs in order to improve the position of its products export amongst the commercial competitors. In addition, the commercial production status and behavior of the major competing exporting countries (China and USA) need to be fully tracked or monitored by the major participants in the cotton value chain in other to deal with the effects of externalities. The research will help to breach the gap of India’s cotton share in the global market by exploring potential target markets for its product, thus enhancing its cotton foreign exchange earnings.

description: Cascades on online networks have been a popular subject of study in the past decade, and there is a considerable literature on phenomena such as diffusion mechanisms, virality, cascade prediction, and peer network effects. However, a basic question has received comparatively little attention: how desirable are cascades on a social media platform from the point of view of users? While versions of this question have been considered from the perspective of the producers of cascades, any answer to this question must also take into account the effect of cascades on their audience. In this work, we seek to fill this gap by providing a consumer perspective of cascade. Users on online networks play the dual role of producers and consumers. First, we perform an empirical study of the interaction of Twitter users with retweet cascades. We measure how often users observe retweets in their home timeline, and observe a phenomenon that we term the "Impressions Paradox": the share of impressions for cascades of size k decays much slower than frequency of cascades of size k. Thus, the audience for cascades can be quite large even for rare large cascades. We also measure audience engagement with retweet cascades in comparison to non-retweeted content. Our results show that cascades often rival or exceed organic content in engagement received per impression. This result is perhaps surprising in that consumers didn't opt in to see tweets from these authors. Furthermore, although cascading content is widely popular, one would expect it to eventually reach parts of the audience that may not be interested in the content. Motivated by our findings, we posit a theoretical model that focuses on the effect of cascades on the audience. Our results on this model highlight the balance between retweeting as a high-quality content selection mechanism and the role of network users in filtering irrelevant content.

description: In this paper we use the classical electrodynamics to show that the Lorenz gauge can be incompatible with some particular solutions of the d Alembert equations for electromagnetic potentials. In its turn, the d Alembert equations for the elec- tromagnetic potentials is the result of application of the Lorenz gauge to general equations for the potentials. The last ones is the straightforward consequence of Maxwell equations. Since the d Alembert equations and the electromagnetic poten- tials are necessary for quantum electrodynamics formulation, one should oblige to satisfy these equations also in classical case. The solution of d Alembert equations, which modifies longitudinal electric field is found. The requirement of this modifi- cation follows from the necessity to satisfy the physical condition of impossibility of instantaneous transferring of interaction in space.

description: We present a feasible protocol using traveling wave field to experimentally observe negative response, i.e., to obtain a decrease in the output field intensity when the input field intensity is increased. Our protocol uses one beam splitter and two mirrors to direct the traveling wave field into a lossy cavity in which there is a three-level atom in a lambda configuration. In our scheme, the input field impinges on a beam splitter and, while the transmitted part is used to drive the cavity mode, the reflected part is used as the control field to obtain negative response of the output field. We show that the greater cooperativity of the atom-cavity system, the more pronounced the negative response. The system we are proposing can be used to protect devices sensitive to intense fields, since the intensity of the output field, which should be directed to the device to be protected, is diminished when the intensity of the input field increases.

description: We explain how to find the asymptotic form of fixed point solutions in functional truncations, in particular $f(R)$ approximations. We find that quantum fluctuations do not decouple at large $R$, typically leading to elaborate asymptotic solutions containing several free parameters. By a counting argument, these can be used to map out the dimension of the fixed point solution spaces. They are also necessary to validate the numerical solution, and provide the physical part in the limit that the cutoff is removed: the fixed point equation of state. As an example we apply the techniques to a recent $f(R)$ approximation by Demmel et al, finding asymptotic matches to their numerical solution. Depending on the value of the endomorphism parameter, we find many other asymptotic solutions and fixed point solution spaces of differing dimensions, yielding several alternative scenarios for the equation of state. Asymptotic studies of other $f(R)$ approximations are needed to clarify the picture.

description: The study was conducted to compare the on-farm growth performance of local Gamo highland and Gamo x Bonga first filial generation (F1) crossbred sheep in Chencha district. A total of 93 local Gamo highland and 125 Gamo x Bonga F1 crossbred sheep were used for data analysis. The study revealed that the overall mean growth performance of local Gamo highland sheep for birth, weaning, six-month, nine-month and yearling weights were 2.12±2.20, 8.84±1.38, 14.40±1.73, 19.17±0.99 and 22.95±1.20 kg, respectively. The corresponding parameters up to six-month weight for Gamo x BongaF1 crossbred were 2.77±0.65, 15.01±2.39 and 22.75±2.08 kg, respectively. Crossbred sheep performed better than local Gamo highland sheep at respective growth stages and attained early at six-month weight the yearling weight of local Gamo highland sheep’s market weight. Males showed higher values than females at all growth stages in general. The overall mean daily weight gain (g day-1) of pre and post-weaning for local Gamo highland sheep were 74.7±9.1 and 52.3±0.7, respectively. The corresponding values (g day-1) for Gamo x Bonga crossbred were 136.0±19.3 and 86.0±3.4, respectively. The growth rate of Gamo x BongaF1 crossbred sheep were faster at both pre and post-weaning than local Gamo highland sheep. Hence, it is possible to conclude that crossbreeding of local Gamo highland sheeph as improved sheep productivity in the study area.

Low-temperature behavior of the multicomponent Widom-Rowlison model on finite square lattices

description: We consider the multicomponent Widom-Rowlison with Metropolis dynamics, which describes the evolution of a particle system where $M$ different types of particles interact subject to certain hard-core constraints. Focusing on the scenario where the spatial structure is modeled by finite square lattices, we study the asymptotic behavior of this interacting particle system in the low-temperature regime, analyzing the tunneling times between its $M$ maximum-occupancy configurations, and the mixing time of the corresponding Markov chain. In particular, we develop a novel combinatorial method that, exploiting geometrical properties of the Widom-Rowlinson configurations on finite square lattices, leads to the identification of the timescale at which transitions between maximum-occupancy configurations occur and shows how this depends on the chosen boundary conditions and the square lattice dimensions.

description: Binary sequences with optimal autocorrelation play important roles in radar, communication, and cryptography. Finding new binary sequences with optimal autocorrelation has been an interesting research topic in sequence design. Ding-Helleseth-Lam sequences are such a class of binary sequences of period $p$, where $p$ is an odd prime with $p\equiv 1(\bmod~4)$. The objective of this letter is to present a construction of binary sequences of period $4p$ via interleaving four suitable Ding-Helleseth-Lam sequences. This construction generates new binary sequences with optimal autocorrelation which can not be produced by earlier ones.
An efficient quantum mechanical method for radical pair recombination reactions

description: The standard quantum mechanical expressions for the singlet and triplet survival probabilities and product yields of a radical pair recombination reaction involve a trace over the states in a combined electronic and nuclear spin Hilbert space. If this trace is evaluated deterministically, by performing a separate time-dependent wavepacket calculation for each initial state in the Hilbert space, the computational effort scales as $O(Z^2\log Z)$, where $Z$ is the total number of nuclear spin states. Here we show that the trace can also be evaluated stochastically, by exploiting the properties of spin coherent states. This results in a computational effort of $O(MZ\log Z)$, where $M$ is the number of Monte Carlo samples needed for convergence. Example calculations on a strongly-coupled radical pair with $Z>10^6$ show that the singlet yield can be converged to graphical accuracy using just $M=200$ samples, resulting in a speed up by a factor of $>5000$ over a standard deterministic calculation. We expect that this factor will greatly facilitate future quantum mechanical simulations of a wide variety of radical pairs of interest in chemistry and biology.

description: Detecting strong ties among users in social and information networks is a fundamental operation that can improve performance on a multitude of personalization and ranking tasks. Strong-tie edges are often readily obtained from the social network as users often participate in multiple overlapping networks via features such as following and messaging. These networks may vary greatly in size, density and the information they carry. This setting leads to a natural strong tie detection task: given a small set of labeled strong tie edges, how well can one detect unlabeled strong ties in the remainder of the network? This task becomes particularly daunting for the Twitter network due to scant availability of pairwise relationship attribute data, and sparsity of strong tie networks such as phone contacts. Given these challenges, a natural approach is to instead use structural network features for the task, produced by {\em combining} the strong and "weak" edges. In this work, we demonstrate via experiments on Twitter data that using only such structural network features is sufficient for detecting strong ties with high precision. These structural network features are obtained from the presence and frequency of small network motifs on combined strong and weak ties. We observe that using motifs larger than triads alleviate sparsity problems that arise for smaller motifs, both due to increased combinatorial possibilities as well as benefiting strongly from searching beyond the ego network. Empirically, we observe that not all motifs are equally useful, and need to be carefully constructed from the combined edges in order to be effective for strong tie detection. Finally, we reinforce our experimental findings with providing theoretical justification that suggests why incorporating these larger sized motifs as features could lead to increased performance in planted graph models.

description: The Ursid meteor shower is an annual shower that usually shows little activity. However, its Zenith Hourly Rate sometimes increases, usually either when its parent comet, 8P/Tuttle, is close to its perihelion or its aphelion. Outbursts when the comet is away from perihelion are not common and outburst when the comet is close to aphelion are extremely rare. The most likely explanation offered to date is based on the orbital mean motion resonances. The study of the aphelion outburst of December 2000 provided a means of testing that hypothesis. A new aphelion outburst was predicted for December 2014. The Spanish Meteor Network in collaboration with the French Fireball Recovery and InterPlanetary Observation Network set up a campaign to monitor this outburst and eventually retrieve orbital data that expands and confirms previous preliminary results and predictions. Despite unfavourable weather conditions over the South of Europe over the relevant time period precise trajectories from multi-station meteor data recorded over Spain were obtained, as well as orbital and radiant information for four Ursid meteors. The membership of these four meteors to the expected dust trails that were to provoke the outburst is discussed, and we characterize the origin of the outburst in the dust trail produced by the comet in the year 1392 A.D.

description: Code protections aim at blocking (or at least delaying) reverse engineering and tampering attacks to critical assets within programs. Knowing the way hackers understand protected code and perform attacks is important to achieve a stronger protection of the software assets, based on realistic assumptions about the hackers' behaviour. However, building such knowledge is difficult because hackers can hardly be involved in controlled experiments and empirical studies. The FP7 European project Aspire has given the authors of this paper the unique opportunity to have access to the professional penetration testers employed by the three industrial partners. In particular, we have been able to perform a qualitative analysis of three reports of professional penetration test performed on protected industrial code. Our qualitative analysis of the reports consists of open coding, carried out by 7 annotators and resulting in 459 annotations, followed by concept extraction and model inference. We identified the main activities: understanding, building attack, choosing and customizing tools, and working around or defeating protections. We built a model of how such activities take place. We used such models to identify a set of research directions for the creation of stronger code protections.
