description: A comparison technique for finite random walks on finite graphs is introduced, using the well-known interlacing method. It yields improved return probability bounds. A key feature is the incorporation of parts of the spectrum of the transition matrix other than just the principal eigenvalue. As an application, an upper bound of the expected return probability of a random walk with symmetric transition probabilities is found. In this case, the state space is a random partial graph of a regular graph of bounded geometry and transitive automorphism group. The law of the random edge-set is assumed to be stationary with respect to some transitive subgroup of the automorphism group (`invariant percolation'). Given that this subgroup is unimodular, it is shown that stationarity strengthens the upper bound of the expected return probability, compared with standard bounds derived from the Cheeger inequality.

description: ABSTRACT:Trust in leaders is central to citizen compliance with public policies. One potential determinant of trust is how leaders resolve conflicts between utilitarian and non-utilitarian ethical principles in moral dilemmas. Past research suggests utilitarian responses to dilemmas can both erode and enhance trust in leaders: sacrificing some people to save many others (i.e., instrumental harm) reduces trust, while impartially maximizing the welfare of everyone equally (i.e., impartial beneficence) may increase trust. Here, we investigate moral dilemmas and trust in leaders during the COVID-19 pandemic. Across 22 countries on 6 continents, participants will complete behavioral and self-reported measures of trust in leaders who endorse either utilitarian or non-utilitarian principles in COVID-19 dilemmas. We predict that endorsement of instrumental harm will decrease trust, while endorsement of impartial beneficence will increase trust. These results can advance our understanding of trust in leaders and inform effective public communication during times of crisis.

description: We have carried out a Chandra X-ray and multi-frequency radio VLBA study of the AGN TXS 0128+554, which is associated with the Fermi gamma-ray source 4FGL J0131.2+5547. The AGN is unresolved in a target 19.3 ks Chandra image, and its spectrum is well fit by a simple absorbed power law model, with no distinguishable spectral features. Its relatively soft X-ray spectrum compared to other CSOs may be indicative of a thermal emission component, for which we were able to obtain an upper temperature limit of kT = 0.08 keV. The compact radio morphology and measured advance speed of 0.32c +- 0.07c indicate a kinematic age of only 82 y +- 17 y, placing TXS 0128+554 among the youngest members of the compact symmetric object (CSO) class. The lack of compact, inverted spectrum hotspots and an emission gap between the bright inner jet and outer radio lobe structure indicate that the jets have undergone episodic activity, and were re-launched a decade ago. The predicted gamma-ray emission from the lobes, based on an inverse Compton-emitting cocoon model, is three orders of magnitude below the observed Fermi LAT flux. A comparison to other Fermi-detected and non-Fermi detected CSOs with redshift z<0.1 indicates that the gamma-ray emission likely originates in the inner jet/core region, and that nearby, recently launched AGN jets are primary candidates for detection by the Fermi LAT instrument.

The Evolution and Structure of Early-type Field Galaxies: A Combined Statistical Analysis of Gravitational Lenses
Creators: name: Rusin, D.

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We introduce a framework for simultaneously investigating the structure and luminosity evolution of early-type gravitational lens galaxies. The method is based on the fundamental plane, which we interpret using the aperture mass-radius relations derived from lensed image geometries. We apply this method to our previous sample of 22 lens galaxies with measured redshifts and excellent photometry. Modeling the population with a single mass profile and evolutionary history, we find that early-type galaxies are nearly isothermal (logarithmic density slope n = 2.06 +/- 0.17, 68% C.L.), and that their stars evolve at a rate of dlog(M/L)_B/dz = -0.50 +/- 0.19 (68% C.L.) in the rest frame B band. For a Salpeter IMF and a concordance cosmology, this implies a mean star formation redshift of > 1.5 at 95% confidence. While this model can neatly describe the mean properties of early-type galaxies, it is clear that the scatter of the lens sample is too large to be explained by observational uncertainties alone. We therefore consider statistical models in which the galaxy population is described by a distribution of star formation redshifts. We find that stars must form over a significant range of redshifts (Delta z_f > 1.7, 68% C.L.), which can extend as low as z_f = 1 for some acceptable models. However, the typical galaxy will still have an old stellar population ( > 1.5). The lens sample therefore favors early star formation in field ellipticals -- even if we make no a priori assumption regarding the shape of the mass distribution in lenses, and include the range of possible deviations from homology in the uncertainties. Our evolution results call into question several recent claims that early-type galaxies in low-density environments have much younger stars than those in rich clusters.

Perturbation theory near degenerate exceptional points

Subjects: subject: Mathematical Physics (math-ph)

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In an overall framework of quantum mechanics of unitary systems a rather sophisticated new version of perturbation theory is developed. What is assumed is, firstly, that the perturbed Hamiltonians $H=H_0+λV$ are non-Hermitian and lie close to their unobservable exceptional-point (EP) degeneracy limit $H_0$. Secondly, in this EP limit, the geometric multiplicity $L$ of the degenerate unperturbed eigenvalue $E_0$ is assumed, in contrast to the majority of existing studies, larger than one. Under these assumptions the method of construction of the bound states is described. Its specific subtleties are illustrated via the leading-order recipe. The emergence of a counterintuitive connection between the value of $L$, the structure of the matrix elements of perturbations, and the possible loss of the stability and unitarity of the processes of the unfolding of the EP singularity is given a detailed explanation.

description: The farm level economic impacts of the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002 (2002 Farm Bill) on representative crop and livestock operations are projected in this report. The analysis was conducted over the 2002-2009 planning horizon using FLIPSIM, AFPC’s whole farm simulation model. Data to simulate farming and ranching operations in the nation’s major production regions came from two sources: - Producer panel cooperation to develop economic information to describe and simulate representative crop, livestock, and dairy farms. - Projected prices, policy variables, and input inflation rates from the Food and Agricultural Policy Research Institute (FAPRI) January 2005 Baseline. The primary objective of the analysis is to determine the farms’ economic viability by region and commodity through the life of the 2002 Farm Bill. The FLIPSIM policy simulation model incorporates the historical risk faced by farmers and ranchers for prices and production. This report presents the results of the January 2005 Baseline in a risk context using selected simulated probabilities and ranges for annual net cash farm income values. The probability of a farm experiencing a negative ending cash balance and the probability of a farm losing real net worth are included as indicators of the cash flow and equity risks facing farms through the year 2009. This report is organized into ten sections. The first section summarizes the process used to develop the representative farms and the key assumptions utilized for the farm level analysis. The second section summarizes the FAPRI January 2005 Baseline and the policy and price assumptions used for the representative farm analyses. The third through sixth sections present the results of the simulation analyses for feed grain, wheat, cotton, and rice farms. The seventh and eighth sections summarize simulation results for dairy and cattle. Two appendices constitute the final section of the report. Appendix A provides tables to summarize the physical and financial characteristics for each of the representative farms. Appendix B provides the names of producers, land grant faculty, and industry leaders who cooperated in the panel interview process to develop the representative farms.

description: We review the standard treatment of open quantum systems in relation to quantum entanglement, analyzing, in particular, the behaviour of bipartite systems immersed in a same environment. We first focus upon the notion of complete positivity, a physically motivated algebraic constraint on the quantum dynamics, in relation to quantum entanglement, i.e. the existence of statistical correlations which can not be accounted for by classical probability. We then study the entanglement power of heat baths versus their decohering properties, a topic of increasing importance in the framework of the fast developing fields of quantum information, communication and computation. The presentation is self contained and, through several examples, it offers a detailed survey of the physics and of the most relevant and used techniques relative to both quantum open system dynamics and quantum entanglement.

description: The call for school finance reform has threatened to modify or possibly remove the current property and sales and use tax exemptions currently benefiting Texas cotton producers. This study utilizes a whole farm simulation model to evaluate the economic and financial impact of three alternative sales and/or property tax policy changes on Texas cotton farms along with their respective landowners. Results indicate that removing sales tax exemptions would most adversely impact producers, while removing property tax exemptions has a more negative effect on landowners.

description: The present study focuses on certain critical aspects of the agricultural modernization, in the course of implementation of the investment aid scheme in Greece. Although the investments made under the scheme, contributed to the significant reorganization of the farms as well as to employment creation, serious deficiencies were detected in the way the scheme has been designed and implemented: lack of programming logic serving specific targets and of suitable mechanisms for information and back-up of farmers on technico-organizational matters, as well as non-incorporation of the principles of programming, monitoring and assessment. The way the scheme was implemented, exemplifies the subventionist logic of income assistance, and underlines some standing characteristics in Greek agricultural policy. Finally, alternative priorities of investment policy application are examined.

description: Evidence from experimental studies shows that oscillations due to electro-mechanical coupling can be generated spontaneously in smooth muscle cells. Such cellular dynamics are known as \textit{pacemaker dynamics}. In this article we address pacemaker dynamics associated with the interaction of $\text{Ca}^{2+}$ and $\text{K}^+$ fluxes in the cell membrane of a smooth muscle cell. First we reduce a pacemaker model to a two-dimensional system equivalent to the reduced Morris-Lecar model and then perform a detailed numerical bifurcation analysis of the reduced model. Existing bifurcation analyses of the Morris-Lecar model concentrate on external applied current whereas we focus on parameters that model the response of the cell to changes in transmural pressure. We reveal a transition between Type I and Type II excitabilities with no external current required. We also compute a two-parameter bifurcation diagram and show how the transition is explained by the bifurcation structure.

description: A stochastic frontier production model was applied to estimate technical efficiency in a sample of Italian organic and conventional cereal farms. The main purpose was to assess which production technique revealed higher efficiency. Statistical tests on the common production function model suggested that the two cultivation methods might lie on different frontiers. Separate analyses of two sub-samples (93 and 138 observations for organic and conventional farms, respectively) found that conventional farms were significantly more efficient than organic farms, with respect to their specific technology (0.902 vs. 0.831). Analysis also estimated that efficiency plays a crucial role into the factors affecting productivity in the organic process. Some policy implications can be drawn from these findings.

description: We describe the structure of the time-harmonic electromagnetic field of a vertical Hertzian electric dipole source radiating over an infinite, translation invariant two-dimensional electron system. Our model for the electron flow takes into account the effects of shear and Hall viscosities as well as an external static magnetic field perpendicular to the sheet. We identify two wave modes, namely, a surface plasmon and a diffusive mode. In the presence of an external static magnetic field, the diffusive mode combines the features of both the conventional and Hall diffusion and may exhibit a negative group velocity. In our analysis, we solve exactly a boundary value problem for the time-harmonic Maxwell equations coupled with linearized hydrodynamic equations for the flat, two-dimensional material. By numerically evaluating the integrals for the electromagnetic field on the sheet, we find that the plasmon contribution dominates in the intermediate-field region of the dipole source. In contrast, the amplitude of the diffusive mode reaches its maximum value in the near-field region, and quickly decays with the distance from the source. We demonstrate that the diffusive mode can be distinguished from the plasmon in the presence of the static magnetic field, when the highly oscillatory plasmon is gapped and tends to disappear.

description: The objective of this paper is to analyse consumers’ attitudes and acceptability of GM food products in Spain. From the methodological point of view, a three-equation model of consumer behaviour is estimated assuming a kind of causal chain among the degree of knowledge, attitudes and buying intentions. Explanatory variables include socioeconomic characteristics of respondents as well as endogenous variables of the previous equations. The model provides a better knowledge of how attitudes and buying intentions towards GM food are formed. Higher educated consumers, more concerned about labelling information and less about price, and regular buyers of organic foods show a higher (not necessarily better) knowledge on GM technology and its consequences. However, those consumers with a lower level of knowledge, together with those who are not concerned about safety, are not used to recycle but to purchase fast food generate more positive attitudes towards GMs, which finally determine future purchasing intention.

description: Primordial black holes (PBH), produced through a variety of processes in the early universe, could fill galactic halos accounting for a fraction or the totality of the dark matter. In particular, PBH with sub-stellar masses could be captured by stars, start to swallow their material, and eventually turn them into BH, hence originating a peculiar new type of stellar catastrophic event. Here we revisit this process in the most favorable case of PBH capture by neutron stars. We detail a number of novel features in the capture phase, during the settling within the star and mass growth of the PBH, and illustrate some phenomenological consequences. In particular, we point out that in the subsonic regime the PBH drag takes the form of a Bondi accretion. As a result, the onset of the final transmutation of the NS into a stellar sized BH is expected with the PBH seed in slight off-center position. We also compute the gravitational wave energy-loss and signals associated to different phases of the PBH-stellar interaction. In particular, the emission associated to the accretion phase is periodic with a few kHz frequency; in the rare case of a nearby Galactic event and for light PBH, it could constitute a warning of the forthcoming transmutation.

description: A 2014 study of the eclipsing binary star 1SWASPJ011351.29+314909.7 (J0113+31) reported an unexpectedly high effective temperature for the M-dwarf companion to the 0.95-M$_{\odot}$ primary star. The effective temperature inferred from the secondary eclipse depth was $\sim$600 K higher than the value predicted from stellar models. Such an anomalous result questions our understanding of low-mass stars and might indicate a significant uncertainty when inferring properties of exoplanets orbiting them. We seek to measure the effective temperature of the M-dwarf companion using the light curve of J0113+31 recently observed by the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS). We use the pycheops modelling software to fit a combined transit and eclipse model to the TESS light curve. To calculate the secondary effective temperature, we compare the best-fit eclipse depth to the predicted eclipse depths from theoretical stellar models. We determined the effective temperature of the M dwarf to be ${\rm T}_{\rm eff,2}$ = 3208 $\pm$ 43 K, assuming $\log g_2$ = 5, [Fe/H] = $-0.4$ and no alpha-element enhancement. Varying these assumptions changes ${\rm T}_{\rm eff,2}$ by less than 100 K. These results do not support a large anomaly between observed and theoretical low-mass star temperatures.

Their construction and moduli spaces are reviewed in some detail, unifying abelian and nonabelian configurations. The analysis of linear perturbations around these backgrounds reveals an unstable mode for the U(n) models but shows stability for the Grassmannian case. For multi-solitons which are diagonal in the Fock-space basis we explicitly evaluate the spectrum of the Hessian and identify all zero modes. It is very suggestive but remains to be proven that our results qualitatively extend to the entire multi-soliton moduli space.

description: We consider the parabolic Anderson problem $\partial_tu=Δu+ξ(x)u$ on $\mathbb{R}_+\times\mathbb{Z}^d$ with localized initial condition $u(0,x)=δ_0(x)$ and random i.i.d. potential $ξ$. Under the assumption that the distribution of $ξ(0)$ has a double-exponential, or slightly heavier, tail, we prove the following geometric characterization of intermittency: with probability one, as $t\to\infty$, the overwhelming contribution to the total mass $\sum_xu(t,x)$ comes from a slowly increasing number of ``islands'' which are located far from each other. These ``islands'' are local regions of those high exceedances of the field $ξ$ in a box of side length $2t\log^2t$ for which the (local) principal Dirichlet eigenvalue of the random operator $Δ+ξ$ is close to the top of the spectrum in the box. We also prove that the shape of $ξ$ in these regions is nonrandom and that $u(t,\cdot)$ is close to the corresponding positive eigenfunction. This is the geometric picture suggested by localization theory for the Anderson Hamiltonian.

description: A mathematical model is developed to describe the dynamics of the spread of a waterborne disease among communities located along a flowing waterway. The model is formulated as a system of reaction–diffusion–advection partial differential equations in this spatial setting. The compartments of the model consist of susceptible, infected, and recovered individuals in the communities along the waterway, together with a term representing the pathogen load in each community and a term representing the spatial concentration of pathogens flowing along the waterway. The model is applied to the cholera outbreak in Haiti in 2010.

description: This paper presents the results of a computational study related to the path-geodesic correspondence in causal sets. For intervals in flat spacetimes, and in selected curved spacetimes, we present evidence that the longest maximal chains (the longest paths) in the corresponding causal set intervals statistically approach the geodesic for that interval in the appropriate continuum limit.

description: In our study, three gemini dicationic surfactants with different methylene group spacer (16-6-16, 16-5-16 and 16-4-16) have been synthesized and characterized in solution by 1H NMR spectroscopic technique. The implications of gemini micellar solution on ninhydrin and metal amino acid complex ([Cu(II)-Trp]+) were performed by the means of single-beam UV–visible spectroscopy. The absorbance was noted at regular time intermissions and values of rate constant (kψ) were determined by using a computer-based program. Synthesized surfactants proved as an efficient catalyst on the interaction of ninhydrin with metal amino acid complex as compared to conventional surfactant and aqueous systems. The required description regarding the implications of gemini dicationic surfactants are provided in the text in detail. The conductivity technique was applied in order to get critical micelle concentration (cmc) of geminis in the presence and absence of reactants. Catalytic results developed in gemini dicationic surfactant system were explained effectively by pseudo-phase model. Various thermodynamic quantities, viz., activation energy, Ea, activation enthalpy, ΔH#, and activation entropy, ΔS#, were obtained on interaction of ninhydrin with [Cu(II)-Trp]+ in gemini systems by applying Eyring equation. A detailed explanation about these evaluated parameters was also made.
Optical and electrical properties of dilute GaN(x)As(1-x) alloys

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: The bandgap and optical absorption edge are measured in semi-insulating and p-type GaNAs as a function of nitrogen content using a photoconductivity technique. The bandgap is found to decrease from 1.42 eV with 0% nitrogen to 1.20 eV with 0.9% nitrogen, and to 1.14 eV with 1.73% nitrogen content. The characteristic energy of the exponentional absorption edge (Urbach parameter) for p-type GaNAs is found to increase from 6.7 meV with 0% nitrogen to 14 meV with 0.8% nitrogen content. The mobility and carrier concentration are measured as a function of nitrogen content in p-type and n-type GaNAs using Hall measurements. The electron mobility decreases from 3000 cm²/Vs with 0% nitrogen, to 650 cm²/Vs with 0.1% nitrogen, and to 300 cm²/Vs with 1.0% nitrogen content. The hole mobility is relatively unaffected by nitrogen and stays constant around 300 cm²/Vs for up to 1% nitrogen content. The carrier concentration in p-type GaNAs is found to decrease for highly doped (2.5xl0 ¹⁶ cm ⁻³ ) GaNAs and increase for low doped (4.5xl0 ¹⁴ cm ⁻³ ) GaNAs with increasing nitrogen content. The carrier concentration converges to 7xl0 ¹⁵ cm ⁻³ for both low and high doping at greater than 0.8% nitrogen content, which suggests there is a trap that is pinning the Fermi level. This behaviour is modeled using conservation of charge in the band gap, and a trap level at 0.18 eV above the top of the valence band is found to explain the experimental data. A new method for measuring the bandgap and Urbach edge in epitaxial semiconductor films using photoconductivity is presented. In this method the sample is illuminated with monochromatic light, and the photoconductivity is measured as a function of incident wavelength. Light with energy greater than the band gap is absorbed by the sample and increases the photoconductivity signal. The absorption coefficient is determined from the photoconductivity signal. The electrical properties, such as the mobility and carrier concetration are obtained from Hall measurements.

description: Charge-Parity-Time (CPT) symmetry governs that the oscillation parameters for neutrinos and anti-neutrinos are to be identical. Different mass and mixing parameters for these particles may give us a possible hint for CPT violation in the neutrino sector. Using this approach, we discuss the ability of long-baseline and atmospheric neutrino experiments to determine the difference between mass squared splittings ($Δm^{2}_{32}-Δ\bar{m}^{2}_{32}$) and atmospheric mixing angles ($\sin^{2}θ_{23}-\sin^{2}\barθ_{23}$) of neutrinos and anti-neutrinos. We show the joint sensitivity of the T2K, NOvA and INO experiments to such CPT violating observables in different possible combinations of octant for neutrinos and anti-neutrinos.

description: Top-k queries have been studied intensively in the database community and they are an important means to reduce query cost when only the "best" or "most interesting" results are needed instead of the full output. While some optimality results exist, e.g., the famous Threshold Algorithm, they hold only in a fairly limited model of computation that does not account for the cost incurred by large intermediate results and hence is not aligned with typical database-optimizer cost models. On the other hand, the idea of avoiding large intermediate results is arguably the main goal of recent work on optimal join algorithms, which uses the standard RAM model of computation to determine algorithm complexity. This research has created a lot of excitement due to its promise of reducing the time complexity of join queries with cycles, but it has mostly focused on full-output computation. We argue that the two areas can and should be studied from a unified point of view in order to achieve optimality in the common model of computation for a very general class of top-k-style join queries. This tutorial has two main objectives. First, we will explore and contrast the main assumptions, concepts, and algorithmic achievements of the two research areas. Second, we will cover recent, as well as some older, approaches that emerged at the intersection to support efficient ranked enumeration of join-query results. These are related to classic work on k-shortest path algorithms and more general optimization problems, some of which dates back to the 1950s. We demonstrate that this line of research warrants renewed attention in the challenging context of ranked enumeration for general join queries.

description: Can entanglement and the quantum behavior in physical systems survive at arbitrary high temperatures? In this Letter we show that this is the case for a electromagnetic field mode in an optical cavity with a movable mirror in a thermal state. We also identify two different dynamical regimes of generation of entanglement separated by a critical coupling strength.
