Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Optics (physics.optics)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We suggest a geometrical framework to discuss periodic layered structures in the unit disk. The band gaps appear when the point representing the system approaches the unit circle. We show that the trace of the matrix describing the basic period allows for a classification in three families of orbits with quite different properties. The laws of convergence of the iterates to the unit circle can be then considered as universal features of the reflection.

Capacity Building for Quantitative Methods in the UK
Creators: name: Rice, Robin
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2007

description: The Economic and Social Research Council and the Scottish Funding Council have jointly funded a scoping study to identify the capacity building needs for quantitative teaching and research in Scotland.nbsp; The findings of the study, along with several other studies and pilots across the UK, will be used to develop a strategy to improve the supply of quantitatively trained social science researchers. The study is being undertaken by a multi-disciplinary team at the University of Edinburgh and involves a survey of both social science lecturers and researchers, and managers of information services within Scottish Universities, to identify barriers and needs.nbsp; The scoping study is being conducted against a backdrop of longstanding and widespread concern about a UK-wide deficit in quantitative skills amongst social scientists. The funders recognise the need to develop quantitative skills amongst social scientists; and that this needs to take place during the earliest stages of career development.

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics of Galaxies (astro-ph.GA)

description: We review the Schwarzschild orbit-superposition approach and present a new implementation of this method, which can deal with a large class of systems, including rotating barred disk galaxies. We discuss two conceptuals problems in this field: the intrinsic degeneracy of determining the potential from line-of-sight kinematics, and the non-uniqueness of deprojection and related biases in potential inference, especially acute for triaxial bars. When applied to mock datasets with known 3d shape, our method correctly recovers the pattern speed and other potential parameters. However, more work is needed to systematically address these two problems for real observational datasets.

description: In the framework of optical high data rate satellite-to-ground links, we investigate the performance of a coherent receiver which combines an adaptive optics system and a digital carrier synchronization technique. We propose a digital carrier synchronization system based on a phase-locked loop and use end-to-end simulations to characterize the impact of the atmospheric turbulence in the case of a representative low Earth orbit satellite-to-ground transmission link. The results show that classical digital phase-locked loop techniques can be a reliable solution to accurately compensate for the Doppler frequency shift between the incoming signal and the local oscillator at the ground station, in the presence of a preliminary coarse frequency estimation. Adaptive optics compensation enables the loop to lock after a few milliseconds and to accurately track the phase fluctuations. The bit-error-rate performance is not degraded by the digital loop but suffers from the residual signal amplitude fluctuations.

Year: 2007

description: This paper will address strategies for incorporating statistical literacy competencies into information literacy initiatives at the university level.nbsp; Integration of statistical and information literacy into coursework for upper division undergraduates and entry-level graduate students requires careful planning.nbsp; Key elements are the use of active learning methods and coordination with student research and faculty expectations.nbsp; The authors will discuss how the information literacy standards developed by the Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL) provide the theoretical framework in which to situate data literacy learning outcomes.nbsp; Discipline-specific standards, such as those currently in draft form by the ACRL's Anthropology and Sociology Section, further help to place statistical literacy into the context of information literacy and critical thinking for social science students. The authors will also describe the one-unit information literacy course they developed for the UCLA Department of Sociology that utilized a set of tools and techniques designed to develop research skills and critical thinking in the use of statistical resources.

description: We live in a modern world supported by large, complex networks. Examples range from financial markets to communication and transportation systems. In many realistic situations the flow of physical quantities in the network, as characterized by the loads on nodes, is important. We show that for such networks where loads can redistribute among the nodes, intentional attacks can lead to a cascade of overload failures, which can in turn cause the entire or a substantial part of the network to collapse. This is relevant for real-world networks that possess a highly heterogeneous distribution of loads, such as the Internet and power grids. We demonstrate that the heterogeneity of these networks makes them particularly vulnerable to attacks in that a large-scale cascade may be triggered by disabling a single key node. This brings obvious concerns on the security of such systems.

description: This paper investigates the determinants of agricultural land price in several regions in France over the period 1994-2011, using individual plot transaction data, with a particular emphasis on agricultural subsidies and nitrate zoning regulations. It found a positive but relatively small capitalisation effect of the total subsidies per hectare. The data revealed that agricultural subsidies capitalised, at least to some extent, but the magnitude of such a capitalisation depends on the region considered, on the type of subsidy considered, and on the location of the plot in a nitrate surplus zone or not. Only land set-aside premiums significantly capitalise into land price, while single farm payments have a significant positive capitalisation impact only for plots located in a nitrate-surplus zone.

description: Motivated by recent experiments on intracellular calcium dynamics, we study the general issue of fluctuation-induced nucleation of waves in excitable media. We utilize a stochastic Fitzhugh-Nagumo model for this study, a spatially-extended non-potential pair of equations driven by thermal (i.e. white) noise. The nucleation rate is determined by finding the most probable escape path via minimization of an action related to the deviation of the fields from their deterministic trajectories. Our results pave the way both for studies of more realistic models of calcium dynamics as well as of nucleation phenomena in other non-equilibrium pattern-forming processes.

description: Assessing language learners' speaking skills, particularly at the CEFR B1 level, poses distinct obstacles and opportunities. At this stage, students are required to interact well in familiar circumstances, express opinions, and describe their experiences. Traditional assessment approaches frequently fall short of accurately reflecting the complexity of everyday communication. This paper investigates novel approaches to measuring speaking skills for B1 level students, focusing on task-based assessments, portfolio assessments, peer assessments, technology-enhanced evaluation, and formative assessment strategies.

description: Using data from individual transactions for the period 1994-2010 in the French NUTS2 region Brittany, the authors investigated how environmental regulations and transaction land regulations influence the price of sold plots. Regressions on three sub-samples of buyers were performed in order to assess whether different buyers have different attitudes or plans regarding the farmland purchased: a sub-sample including only farmer-buyers, a sub-sample including non-farmer individual buyers, and a sub-sample including non-farmer non-individual buyers. Estimations were performed ignoring and accounting for spatial interactions (model SARAR). Results indicate that the price of land decreases when buyers are farmers, that the nitrate surplus area zoning increases the price of land, even more so for farmer-buyers. Regarding land transaction regulations, there is a negative effect, on land price, of the purchaser being the current tenant or being the land regulating public body SAFER. Estimating the model on different sub-samples depending on the buyers’ type shed light on the factors that are more important for each buyer.
Above-barrier heavy-ion fusion cross-sections using the relativistic mean-field approach: case of spherical colliding nuclei

description: The double folding (DF) approach is one of the widely used methods for finding nucleus-nucleus interaction potential. In the present work, the influence of the nuclear matter density on the DF potential and on the Coulomb barrier parameters is studied systematically for collisions of spherical nuclei. The value of the parameter $B_Z=Z_P Z_T/(A_P^{1/3}+A_T^{1/3})$ (estimating the Coulomb barrier height) varies in these calculations from 10 MeV up to 150 MeV. The novel feature of this study is that the nuclear densities came from the Relativistic Mean Field approach (RMF). For the nucleon-nucleon effective interaction, the M3Y forces with the finite range exchange term and density dependence are employed. The above barrier fusion cross sections are calculated within the framework of the trajectory model with surface friction. Results are compared with the previous study in which the nuclear density came from the Hartree-Fock (HF) calculations and with the high precision experimental data. This comparison demonstrates that i) agreement between the theoretical and experimental cross sections obtained with RMF and HF densities is of the same quality and ii) the values of the only adjustable parameter (friction strength) obtained with RMF and HF densities strongly correlate.

description: After reviewing the Present Value Model (PVM), in its basic form and with its major extensions, the authors carried out a literature review on the instrumental uses of farm land prices; namely what land prices may reveal in the framework of the PVM. Urban influence, non-market goods and climate change are topics where the PVM used with applied data may reveal farmers’ or landowners’ beliefs or subjective values, which are discussed in this paper. There is also extensive discussion of the topic of public regulations, and how they may affect land price directly, or through its present value.

description: This paper examines the job creation potential of the four main growth targets in the Food Harvest 2020(FH2020), namely the growth targets for milk, beef, sheep and pigs. The agri-food sector is predominantly rural based and growth in this sector is important for the economy as a whole. As well as the direct employment that would be created from an increase in activity in the agriculture sector, there would be a knock on benefit for the rest of the economy arising out of the linkages between agriculture and other economic sectors, and the spending of those employed in the agri-food sector on goods and services produced in the economy. Commonly this is described as the multiplier impact. Two scenarios are simulated using different assumptions to see how employment will respond to increased output: Scenario 1 shows the effects of the four shocks using average employment intensities; Scenario 2 shows the effects of the four shocks using the marginal employment intensities calculated using an econometric model to capture the unobserved characteristics of the four main agricultural sectors over time. The results of the second scenario are believed to be more accurate in simulating the employment potential of the FH2020 targets.

description: A Bayesian approach was used to analyse household demand for staples in Nigeria within the framework of a multivariate double-hurdle model to account for censoring emanating from non-participation decisions. We demonstrate how to impose identification constraints in the probit equations and introduce a straightforward way of mapping observed and latent shares in the demand (share) equations to satisfy adding up restrictions. Demands for cereals, beans and tubers are own-price inelastic with values close to unity in the lowest income quintile. Cross-price elasticities indicate demand patterns characterised by a mix of gross substitutability and complementarity relationships among staple food subgroups. Presence of children and adolescents in the household as well as rural-urban and zonal (regional) differences exact significant influence on demand for staple foods. Total expenditure elasticities on staple food subgroups decline with higher income levels in line with Engel's law. Cereals and tubers are all necessary goods in the middle and highest income quintiles. However, they are luxury goods in the lowest income quintile. Our findings suggest that economic growth coupled with targeted interventions such as cash or food stamp transfer programmes are crucial for improved consumption of major staples and nutrition among households.

description: The principal chemicals used by Western Australia’s horticultural industries for field control and post-harvest disinfestation procedures for Mediterranean fruit fly are soon to be withdrawn from use due to public health concerns. When this occurs, the necessary switch to alternative control methods such as bait sprays and intensive fruit fly trapping will involve additional producer costs. Given these costs, this paper evaluates the option of eradicating Mediterranean fruit fly from the State and discusses possible cost sharing arrangements between government and industry that could be reached for mutual benefit.
A hypothesis test of feasibility for external pilot trials assessing recruitment, follow-up and adherence rates

description: The power of a large clinical trial can be adversely affected by low recruitment, follow-up and adherence rates. External pilot trials estimate these rates and use them, via pre-specified decision rules, to determine if the definitive trial is feasible and should go ahead. There is little methodological research underpinning how these decision rules, or the sample size of the pilot, should be chosen. In this paper we propose a hypothesis test of the feasibility of a definitive trial, to be applied to the external pilot data and used to make progression decisions. We quantify feasibility by the power of the planned trial, as a function of recruitment, follow-up and adherence rates. We use this measure to define hypotheses to test in the pilot, propose a test statistic, and show how the error rates of this test can be calculated for the common scenario of a two-arm parallel group definitive trial with a single normally distributed primary endpoint. We use our method to re-design TIGA-CUB, an external pilot trial comparing a psychotherapy with treatment as usual for children with conduct disorders. We then extend our formulation to include using the pilot data to estimate the standard deviation of the primary endpoint. and incorporate this into the progression decision.

description: The increased price variability of the EU farm gate milk price in recent times makes it necessary for farmers as well as policy makers to analyze which factors attribute to this variability. In this study the EU, German and Irish farm gate milk price is therefore decomposed into its trend, seasonal and cyclical components using state space models. The decomposition results are used to analyze which components attribute to the huge price variability observed in recent times and how the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) changed the price dynamics. They show that the dynamics of the EU, German and Irish series converged after the CAP 2003 reform. The dynamics are also compared to the US market. Another main result is that most of the observed price volatility in recent times is attributed to the cyclical component. Price volatility is therefore to some degree predictable and intrinsic to the dairy industry.

description: We study analytically and numerically the behavior of quantum entanglement in a quantum computer operating an efficient algorithm for quantum chaos. Our results show that in an ideal algorithm the entanglement decays exponentially with the diffusive relaxation rate induced by classical chaos. This decay goes down to a residual level which drops exponentially with the number of qubits n_q. Decoherence destroys the residual entanglement with a rate exponential in n_q.

description: In this article, we consider a class of partially linear spatially varying coefficient autoregressive models for data distributed over complex domains. We propose approximating the varying coefficient functions via bivariate splines over triangulation to deal with the complex boundary of the spatial domain. Under some regularity conditions, the estimated constant coefficients are asymptotically normally distributed, and the estimated varying coefficients are consistent and possess the optimal convergence rate. A penalized bivariate spline estimation method with a more flexible choice of triangulation is proposed. We further develop a fast algorithm to calculate the geodesic distance. The proposed method is much more computationally efficient than the local smoothing methods, and thus capable of handling large scales of spatial data. In addition, we propose a model selection approach to identify predictors with constant and varying effects. The performance of the proposed method is evaluated by simulation examples and the Sydney real estate dataset.

description: Atomically thin 2-dimensional heterostructures are a promising, novel class of materials with groundbreaking properties. The possiblity of choosing the many constituent components and their proportions allows optimizing these materials to specific requirements. The wide adaptability comes with a cost of large parameter space making it hard to experimentally test all the possibilities. Instead, efficient computational modelling is needed. However, large range of relevant time and length scales related to physics of polycrystalline materials poses a challenge for computational studies. To this end, we present an efficient and flexible phase-field crystal model to describe the atomic configurations of multiple atomic species and phases coexisting in the same physical domain. We extensively benchmark the model for two-dimensional binary systems in terms of their elastic properties and phase boundary configurations and their energetics. As a concrete example, we demonstrate modelling lateral heterostructures of graphene and hexagonal boron nitride. We consider both idealized bicrystals and large-scale systems with random phase distributions. We find consistent relative elastic moduli and lattice constants, as well as realistic continuous interfaces and faceted crystal shapes. Zigzag-oriented interfaces are observed to display the lowest formation energy.

Transverse Force Induced by a Magnetized Wake

description: The force on a test charge moving through a strongly magnetized plasma is calculated using linear response theory. Strong magnetization is found to generate a component of the force perpendicular to the velocity of the particle in the plane formed by the velocity and magnetic field vectors. This transverse force is generated by an asymmetry with respect to the velocity vector in the induced electrostatic wake potential that is associated with the action of the Lorentz force on the background plasma. The direction depends on the speed of the test charge. If it is faster than a critical speed characteristic of the sound speed, it acts to reduce the component of velocity parallel to the magnetic field and to increase the gyroradius. In contrast, if the speed is below this critical speed, it acts to increase the velocity parallel to the magnetic field and to decrease the gyroradius. Because the transverse force is perpendicular to the velocity, it does not directly influence the total energy of the test charge. Nevertheless, it significantly alters the trajectory on a timescale associated with the Coulomb collision time.

description: It has been argued by Jacobson, Liberati and Mattingly that synchrotron radiation from the Crab Nebula imposes a stringent constraint on any modification of the dispersion relations of the electron that might be induced by quantum gravity. We supplement their analysis by deriving the spectrum of synchrotron radiation from the coupling of an electrically-charged particle to an external magnetic fields in the presence of quantum-gravity effects of the general form $(E/M_{QG})^α$. We find that the synchrotron constraint from the Crab Nebula practically excludes $α\lsim 1.74$ for $M_{QG} \sim m_P = 1.2 \times 10^{19}$ GeV. On the other hand, this analysis does not constrain any modification of the dispersion relation of the photon that might be induced by quantum gravity. We point out that such quantum-gravity effects need not obey the equivalence principle, a point exemplified by the Liouville-string D-particle model of space-time foam. This model suggests a linear modification of the dispersion relation for the photon, but not for the electron, and hence is compatible with known constraints from the Crab Nebula and elsewhere.
