Asteroseismology of the Beta Cephei star Nu Eridani: Interpretation and applications of the oscillation spectrum

description: The oscillation spectrum of Nu Eri is the richest known for any variable of the Beta Cephei type. We interpret the spectrum in terms of normal mode excitation and construct seismic models of the star. The frequency data combined with data on mean colours sets the upper limit on the extent of overshooting from the convective core. We use data on rotational splitting of two dipole (l=1) modes (g_1 and p_1) to infer properties of the internal rotation rate. Adopting a plausible hypothesis of nearly uniform rotation in the envelope and increasing rotation rate in the mu-gradient zone, we find that the mean rotation rate in this zone is about three times faster than in the envelope. In our standard model only the modes in the middle part of the oscillation spectrum are unstable. To account for excitation of a possible high-order g-mode at nu = 0.43 c/d as well as p-modes at nu > 6 c/d we have to invoke an overabundance of Fe in the driving zone.

description: Coherently coupled two-component Bose-Einstein condensates (BEC) exhibit vortex confinement resembling quark confinement in Quantum Chromo Dynamics (QCD). Fractionally quantized vortices winding only in one of two components are attached by solitons, and they cannot stably exist alone. Possible stable states are "hadrons" either of mesonic type, i.e., molecules made of a vortex and anti-vortex in the same component connected by a soliton, or of baryonic type, i.e., molecules made of two vortices winding in two different components connected by a soliton. Mesonic molecules move straight with a constant velocity while baryonic molecules rotate. We numerically simulate collision dynamics of mesonic and baryonic molecules and find that the molecules swap a partner in collisions in general like chemical and nuclear reactions, summarize all collisions as vortex reactions, and describe those by Feynman diagrams. We find a selection rule for final states after collisions of vortex molecules, analogous to that for collisions of hadrons in QCD.

description: A probabilistic approach of computing geometric rate of convergence of stochastic processes is introduced in this paper. The goal is to quantitatively compute both upper and lower bounds of the exponential rate of convergence to the invariant probability measure of a stochastic process. By applying the coupling method, we derive an algorithm which does not need to discretize the state space. In this way, our approach works well for many high-dimensional examples. We apply this algorithm to both random perturbed iterative mappings and stochastic differential equations. We show that the rate of geometric ergodicity of the random perturbed system can, to some extent, reveal the chaotic properties of the unperturbed deterministic one. Various SDE models including those with degenerate noise or high-dimensional state space are also explored.

A Structural Parameter for High Tc Superconductivity from an Octahedral Moebius Strip in RBaCuO:123 type Perovskites
Creators: name: Perez-Enriquez, Raul
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: Superconductivity (cond-mat.supr-con)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: An index for the characterisation of the Perovskite type Superconductors is introduced. The index, denominated as Structural Parameter of High Tc Superconductivity (PESATc from its name in Spanish), is calculated using a Moebius Orbital defined as the length of an Octahedral Moebius Strip overlaying the octahedra created by the CuO planes and the apical Oxygen atoms, O(4). Results for structures of YBCO:123 type compounds are presented; their atomic positions were measured by neutron diffraction and x-ray diffraction techniques as reported in the literature. It has been found that critical temperature depends on the value of the measured structural parameter; furthermore, for a set of RBCO compounds there is a lineal response between Tc and PESATc. In the former case, a specific range for the superconducting behaviour is established by PESATc values, and a well-defined point for the maximum Tc is found. In the latter one, a slope of 4.515 with correlation coefficient of 0.9402 was found when seven Rare Earth compounds were considered. The only compound that goes out from this trend, is the La based compound.

Acoustic scattering by cascades with complex boundary conditions: compliance, porosity and impedance

description: We present a solution for the scattered field caused by an incident wave interacting with an infinite cascade of blades with complex boundary conditions. This extends previous studies by allowing the blades to be compliant, porous or satisfying a generalised impedance condition. Beginning with the convected wave equation, we employ Fourier transforms to obtain an integral equation amenable to the Wiener--Hopf method. This Wiener--Hopf system is solved using a method that avoids the factorisation of matrix functions. The Fourier transform is inverted to obtain an expression for the acoustic potential function that is valid throughout the entire domain. We observe that the principal effect of complex boundary conditions is to perturb the zeros of the Wiener--Hopf kernel, which correspond to the duct modes in the inter-blade region. We focus efforts on understanding the role of porosity, and present a range of results on sound transmission and generation. The behaviour of the duct modes is discussed in detail in order to explain the physical mechanisms behind the associated noise reductions. In particular, we show that cut-on duct modes do not exist for arbitrary porosity coefficients. Conversely, the acoustic modes are unchanged by modifications to the boundary conditions. Consequently, we observe that even modest values of porosity can result in reductions in the sound power level of $5$ dB for the first mode and $20$ dB for the second mode. The solution is essentially analytic (the only numerical requirements are matrix inversion and root finding) and is therefore extremely rapid to compute.

Risk and Uncertainty

description: The increased interest in weather-based risk management tools in developed and developing nations gives rise to examining a new set of risk-contingent structured financial products. This paper examines a variety of models applicable to agriculture and the sovereign debt of developing agrarian nations including from the corporate side, weather-linked bonds, and from the producer side weather-linked loans and weather linked mortgages. These weather risk management tools are targeted towards mitigating both business and financial risk by reducing the contractual obligation of debt (principal and/or interest) depending on the intrinsic value of an attached weather option (e.g. excess heat or precipitation) which pays off if a specific weather event occurs. The paper also discusses the structure of a famine bond, which provides funds in advance of a high probability famine event brought about by a specific weather event such as drought. The models presented have broad application to agricultural economies that suffer from weather induced volumetric (production) risk.
Correlation-induced steady states and limit cycles in driven dissipative quantum systems

description: We study a driven-dissipative model of spins one-half (qubits) on a lattice with nearest-neighbor interactions. Focusing on the role of spatially extended spin-spin correlations in determining the phases of the system, we characterize the spatial structure of the correlations in the steady state, as well as their temporal dynamics. In dimension one we use essentially exact matrix-product-operator simulations on large systems, and pushing these calculations to dimension two, we obtain accurate results on small cylinders. We also employ an approximation scheme based on solving the dynamics of the mean field dressed by the feedback of quantum fluctuations at leading order. This approach allows us to study the effect of correlations in large lattices with over one hundred thousand spins, as the spatial dimension is increased up to five. In dimension two and higher we find two new states that are stabilized by quantum correlations and do not exist in the mean-field limit of the model. One of these is a steady state with mean magnetization values that lie between the two bistable mean-field values, and whose correlation functions have properties reminiscent of both. The correlation length of the new phase diverges at a critical point, beyond which we find emerging a new limit cycle state with the magnetization and correlators oscillating periodically in time.

description: Studies of bibliographic data suggest a strong correlation between the growth of citation networks and their corresponding co-authorship networks. We explore the interdependence between evolving citation and co-authorship networks focused on the publications, by Indian authors, in American Physical Society journals between 1970 and 2013. We record interactions between each possible pair of authors in two ways: first, by tracing the change in citations they exchanged and, second, by tracing the shortest path between authors in the co-authorship network. We create these data for every year of the period of our analysis. We use probability methods to quantify the correlation between citations and shortest paths, and the effect on the dynamics of the citation-co-authorship system. We find that author pairs who have a co-authorship distance $d \leq 3$ significantly affect each others citations, but that this effect falls off rapidly for longer distances in the co-authorship network. The exchange of citation between pairs with $d=1$ exhibits a sudden increase at the time of first co-authorship events and decays thereafter, indicating an aging effect in collaboration. This suggests that the dynamics of the co-authorship network appear to be driving those of the citation network rather than vice versa. Moreover, the majority of citations received by most authors are due to reciprocal citations from current, or past, co-authors. We conclude that, in order to answer questions on nature and dynamics of scientific collaboration, it is necessary to study both co-authorship and citation network simultaneously.

description: Cyberbullying, which has been exacerbated by the widespread use of smartphones and the increasing stress associated with the pandemic, needs the promotion of positive online behaviour, cyberbullying awareness, and victim support. The PRISMA technique is used in this review to identify effective preventative tools and intervention options. Eleven studies met our inclusion criteria and were selected for review. A quality assessment was conducted. Upon thorough evaluation of the included studies, the intervention data was compiled in a narrative format. Using thematic analysis, we explored the effectiveness of technological interventions for preventing cyberbullying comprehensively. Technology-driven strategies for identifying and combating cyberbullying in educational settings, such as language-specific cyberbullying detection tools, IRCB programmes for empowering teenagers, and technologies such as CREEP Semantic Technology and CREEP Virtual Coach, have showed potential. TIPIP and the #WIIWY movement have also assisted to raise awareness and educate people about cyberbullying. However, more research is required to design targeted interventions that address varied demographics and circumstances, while including parents and taking the target audience’s age into account remains critical for effective technology-driven educational interventions and digital advocacy.

description: Intensive care units (ICU) are often overflooded with alarms from monitoring devices which constitutes a hazard to both staff and patients. To date, the suggested solutions to excessive monitoring alarms have remained on a research level. We aimed to identify patient characteristics that affect the ICU alarm rate with the goal of proposing a straightforward solution that can easily be implemented in ICUs. Alarm logs from eight adult ICUs of a tertiary care university-hospital in Berlin, Germany were retrospectively collected between September 2019 and March 2021. Adult patients admitted to the ICU with at least 24 h of continuous alarm logs were included in the study. The sum of alarms per patient per day was calculated. The median was 119. A total of 26,890 observations from 3205 patients were included. 23 variables were extracted from patients' electronic health records (EHR) and a multivariable logistic regression was performed to evaluate the association of patient characteristics and alarm rates. Invasive blood pressure monitoring (adjusted odds ratio (aOR) 4.68, 95%CI 4.15-5.29, p < 0.001), invasive mechanical ventilation (aOR 1.24, 95%CI 1.16-1.32, p < 0.001), heart failure (aOR 1.26, 95%CI 1.19-1.35, p < 0.001), chronic renal failure (aOR 1.18, 95%CI 1.10-1.27, p < 0.001), hypertension (aOR 1.19, 95%CI 1.13-1.26, p < 0.001), high RASS (aOR 1.22, 95%CI 1.18-1.25, p < 0.001) and scheduled surgical admission (aOR 1.22, 95%CI 1.13-1.32, p < 0.001) were significantly associated with a high alarm rate. Our study suggests that patient-specific alarm management should be integrated in the clinical routine of ICUs. To reduce the overall alarm load, particular attention regarding alarm management should be paid to patients with invasive blood pressure monitoring, invasive mechanical ventilation, heart failure, chronic renal failure, hypertension, high RASS or scheduled surgical admission since they are more likely to have a high contribution to noise pollution, alarm fatigue and hence compromised patient safety in ICUs.

description: Theories proposing a varying speed of light have recently been widely promoted under the claim that they offer an alternative way of solving the standard cosmological problems. Recent observational hints that the fine structure constant may have varied during over cosmological scales also has given impetus to these models. In theoretical physics the speed of light, $c$, is hidden in almost all equations but with different facets that we try to distinguish. Together with a reminder on scalar-tensor theories of gravity, this sheds some light on these proposed varying speed of light theories.

description: Big bang nucleosynthesis has long provided the primary determination of the cosmic baryon density $\omb h^2$, or equivalently the baryon-to-photon ratio, η. Recently, data on CMB anisotropies have become increasingly sensitive to η. The comparison of these two independent measures provides a key test for big bang cosmology. The first release of results from the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) marks a milestone in this test. With the precision of WMAP, the CMB now offers a significantly stronger constraint on η. We discuss the current state of BBN theory and light element observations (including their possible lingering systematic errors). The resulting BBN baryon density prediction is in overall agreement with the WMAP prediction, an important and non-trivial confirmation of hot big bang cosmology. Going beyond this, the powerful CMB baryometer can be used as an input to BBN and one can accurately predict the primordial light element abundances. By comparing these with observations one can obtain new insight into post-BBN nucleosynthesis processes and associated astrophysics. Finally, one can test the possibility of nonstandard physics at the time of BBN, now with all light elements available as probes. Indeed, with the WMAP precision η, deuterium is already beginning to rival \he4's sensitivity to nonstandard physics, and additional D/H measurements can improve this further.

description: We use a fully self-consistent laterally resolved Hartree-Fock approximation for numerically addressing the electron configurations at higher Landau levels in the quantum Hall regime for near-macroscopic sample sizes. Our results give microscopic details of stripe- and bubble-like charge density modulations and show how these emerge depending on the filling factor. We find that there exists a region at the boundaries of the stripes and bubbles with a density modulation that corresponds to a filling factor around half filling. The microscopic details of these boundary regions determine the geometrical boundary conditions for aligning the charge density modulation either as stripes or bubbles. Transport is modelled using a non-equilibrium network model giving a pronounced anisotropy in direction of the injected current in the stripe regime close to half filling. We obtain a stripe period of 2.9 cyclotron radii. Our results indicate the dominance of many particle physics in the integer quantum Hall regime and provide an intuitive understanding of its consequences in strong magnetic fields.

description: Introduction: Horse clinics are hotspots for the accumulation and spread of clinically relevant and zoonotic multidrug-resistant bacteria, including extended-spectrum β-lactamase producing (ESBL) Enterobacterales. Although median laparotomy in cases of acute equine colic is a frequently performed surgical intervention, knowledge about the effects of peri-operative antibiotic prophylaxis (PAP) based on a combination of penicillin and gentamicin on the gut microbiota is limited. Methods: We collected fecal samples of horses from a non-hospitalized control group (CG) and from horses receiving either a pre-surgical single-shot (SSG) or a peri-operative 5-day (5DG) course of PAP. To assess differences between the two PAP regimens and the CG, all samples obtained at hospital admission (t0), on days three (t1) and 10 (t2) after surgery, were screened for ESBL-producing Enterobacterales and subjected to 16S rRNA V1–V2 gene sequencing. Results: We included 48 samples in the SSG (n = 16 horses), 45 in the 5DG (n = 15), and 20 in the CG (for t0 and t1, n = 10). Two samples of equine patients receiving antibiotic prophylaxis (6.5%) were positive for ESBL-producing Enterobacterales at t0, while this rate increased to 67% at t1 and decreased only slightly at t2 (61%). Shannon diversity index (SDI) was used to evaluate alpha-diversity changes, revealing there was no significant difference between horses suffering from acute colic (5DG, SDImean of 5.90, SSG, SDImean of 6.17) when compared to the CG (SDImean of 6.53) at t0. Alpha-diversity decreased significantly in both PAP groups at t1, while at t2 the onset of microbiome recovery was noticed. Although we did not identify a significant SDImean difference with respect to PAP duration, the community structure (beta-diversity) was considerably restricted in samples of the 5DG at t1, most likely due to the ongoing administration of antibiotics. An increased abundance of Enterobacteriaceae, especially Escherichia, was noted for both study groups at t1. Conclusion: Colic surgery and PAP drive the equine gut microbiome towards dysbiosis and reduced biodiversity that is accompanied by an increase of samples positive for ESBL-producing Enterobacterales. Further studies are needed to reveal important factors promoting the increase and residency of ESBL-producing Enterobacterales among hospitalized horses.

description: Hepatitis E virus (HEV) genotype 3 infections in Germany are mainly transmitted zoonotically through the consumption of swine meat. Furthermore, there is evidence that pets might come into contact with HEV, but the relevance of companion animals as possible sources of HEV transmission in Germany still needs to be defined. A monitoring study was therefore carried out on dogs, cats, and horses from Germany. In total 365 serum samples from pets (124 dogs, 119 cats, and 122 horses) were tested for HEV by PCR and for anti-HEV antibodies by a commercial ELISA. The HEV seroprevalence determined by the sero-assay varied significantly between dogs (10%), cats (6%), and horses (2%). Liver injury-related enzymes, alanine transaminase (ALT), and aspartate transaminase (AST) showed no differences between HEV-positive or negative animals. None of the pet serum samples tested positive for PCR. This serological study suggests that dogs and cats are significantly exposed to HEV in Germany, while horses are of minor relevance.

description: Changes in the economic, demographic and political characteristics of Thailand have had a strong impact on the traditional nature of Thailand's agriculture and livestock industries over the last few decades. This paper outlines the development of the Thai dairy industry and discusses economic factors including government policies, influencing its development. Land rights have effecrted its development, eg. the availability of credit to dairy farmers. In addition, the small size of Thai farms and lack of a ready market in land has resulted in small herd sizes. Furthermore, the extensive use of common property resources has implications for resource management and sustainable agricultural development in Thailand. A number of environmental issues are considerd, associated with raising dairy cattle and other livestock in Thailand. The growth of the Thai industry highlights the urgency of cattle disease control, especially the control or eradication of particular diseases. The policy implications of this are discussed.

description: Concern over the appearance of algal blooms in Summer months on Australian waterways has been increasing in recent years. Some algae are toxic to humans and livestock when ingested. To avoid the dangers of contaminated drinking water, costs must be incurred, either by eliminating nutrient loadings, or taking action to disperse blooms. Such costs may also be worth incurring to prevent the loss of recreation use of waterways and consequent loss of tourism revenue. The aim is to consider the formulation of models to aid in the control of outbreaks of algal blooms, so as to maximise the net present value of social net returns. The complexity of determining the triggering of blooms is discussed. Results from regressing algal cell counts on possible explantory variables such as water flow, water temperature, and nutrient loadings for three sites on the River Murray are presented. Dynamic programming models are formulated with phosphorus in sediments, algal cell count, and water in storage as alternative state variables. The role of rainfall is an important stochastic variable is considered, because flood events lead to substantial nutrient runnoff, and dry periods are associated with low river flow and conditions favourable for the outbreak of blooms.

description: Models with late time cosmic acceleration, such as the Lambda-dominated CDM model, predict a freeze out for the growth of linear gravitational potential at moderate redshift z<1, what can be observed as temperature anisotropies in the CMB: the so called integrated Sachs-Wolfe (ISW) effect. We present a direct measurement of the ISW effect based on the angular cross-correlation function, w_{TG}, of CMB temperature anisotropies and dark-matter fluctuations traced by galaxies. We cross-correlate the first-year WMAP data in combination with the APM Galaxy survey. On the largest scales, theta = 4-10 deg, we detect a non-vanishing cross-correlation at 98.8 % significance level, with a 1-sigma error of w_{TG} = 0.35 +/- 0.14 microK, which favors large values of Omega_Lambda \simeq 0.8 for flat FRW models. On smaller scales, theta < 1deg, the correlations disappear. This is contrary to what would be expected from the ISW effect, but the absence of correlations may be simply explained if the ISW signal was being cancelled by anti-correlations arising from the thermal Sunyaev-Zeldovich (SZ) effect.

description: Methyleugenol (ME), found in numerous plants and spices, is a rodent carcinogen and is classified as “possibly carcinogenic to humans”. The hypothesis of a carcinogenic risk for humans is supported by the observation of ME-derived DNA adducts in almost all human liver and lung samples examined. Therefore, a risk assessment of ME is needed. Unfortunately, biomarkers of exposure for epidemiological studies are not yet available. We hereby present the first detection of N-acetyl-l-cysteine conjugates (mercapturic acids) of ME in human urine samples after consumption of a popular ME-containing meal, pasta with basil pesto. We synthesized mercapturic acid conjugates of ME, identified the major product as N-acetyl-S-[3′-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)allyl]-l-cysteine (E-3′-MEMA), and developed methods for its extraction and LC–MS/MS quantification in human urine. For conducting an exposure study in humans, a basil cultivar with a suitable ME content was grown for the preparation of basil pesto. A defined meal containing 100 g of basil pesto, corresponding to 1.7 mg ME, was served to 12 participants, who collected the complete urine at defined time intervals for 48 h. Using d6-E-3′-MEMA as an internal standard for LC–MS/MS quantification, we were able to detect E-3′-MEMA in urine samples of all participants collected after the ME-containing meal. Excretion was maximal between 2 and 6 h after the meal and was completed within about 12 h (concentrations below the limit of detection). Excreted amounts were only between 1 and 85 ppm of the ME intake, indicating that the ultimate genotoxicant, 1′-sulfooxy-ME, is formed to a subordinate extent or is not efficiently detoxified by glutathione conjugation and subsequent conversion to mercapturic acids. Both explanations may apply cumulatively, with the ubiquitous detection of ME DNA adducts in human lung and liver specimens arguing against an extremely low formation of 1′-sulfooxy-ME. Taken together, we hereby present the first noninvasive human biomarker reflecting an internal exposure toward reactive ME species.
