On Dual Formulations of Massive Tensor Fields

Year: 2005
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In this paper we investigate dual formulations for massive tensor fields. Usual procedure for construction of such dual formulations based on the use of first order parent Lagrangians in many cases turns out to be ambiguous. We propose to solve such ambiguity by using gauge invariant description of massive fields which works both in Minkowski space as well as (Anti) de Sitter spaces. We illustrate our method by two concrete examples: spin-2 "tetrad" field h_{μa}, the dual field being "Lorentz connection" ω_{μ,ab} and "Riemann" tensor R_{μν,ab} with the dual Σ_{μν,abc}.

description: Afghanistan is regarded as a classical patriarchal society, where social tradition, religious doctrine and socio-economic and cultural backwardness have made women second-class citizens. But what has been the nature of life for women in Afghanistan? How have they been treated, both in the private sphere and in public? How did they resist mistreatment during the war inside Afghanistan, in refugee camps or in diaspora? Who are the sponsors and perpetrators of violence against Afghanistani women? And what are the connections between Islam, local customs, the mistreatment of women, and women’s connectedness to revolution and jihad? This book provides answers to these questions through an innovative study of the life and short stories of one of the country’s leading female writers, Maryam Mahboob. It offers a different image of both the suffering and resistance of Afghanistani women than that which the ‘West’ has come to know.

description: Hydrogen desorption from Au(111) at a constant electrode charge has been studied by a DFT-based tight binding theory (DFTB). Free energy curves have been obtained from molecular dynamics with umbrella sampling. The activation energy increases linearly with the applied negative charge and decreases with temperature, so that the Butler-Volmer law does not hold in its strict form. The activation energy is determined by the reorganization of the accepting water molecule and its surroundings, which becomes more facile with temperature. A separation of the free energy curves into a constant chemical part and an electrostatic part, which varies with the charge, does not hold. Because of its speed DFTB is very suitable for the investigation of electrochemical reactions, but is presently hampered by a lack of sets of interaction parameters.

description: Supermarket companies expend significant resources and employ many promotional activities so as to convince consumers to shop their stores. This analysis investigates the promotional activities of a single retail food company to determine the price and promotion responsiveness of fluid milk products that differ by milkfat content. It utilizes weekly, store-level scanner data. Seasonality and advertising are significant determinants of retail sales of fluid milk. Own-price elasticities are negative, and cross-price elasticities are positive for all milk types and are significant and elastic in the case of 2% milk. Advertising effects are positive and statistically significant. The response to advertising is much more pronounced for reduced-fat milk types than it is for whole milk.

description: The objective of eTryOn’s WP2 is to investigate and develop an automatic, cost-effective and systematic method to fit digitally-designed garments to the 3D avatars generated in WP1. As such the objective consists of both:
 ● Generating a collection of digital garments
 ● Automatic fitting of the digital garments in both still images (DressMeUp app) and in real-time (MagicMirror app)
 At a high level, the goal can be described as creating realistic visualisations of 3D garments on a person's body. These visualisations need to be rendered in software accessible to end users.
 The current deliverable builds on the research delivered in D2.1 and uses the garments created in that deliverable to create a first working version of the avatar-garment simulation software.
 Section 3 describes in detail the core innovation in the avatar-garment simulation work. We have achieved many targets in this innovation objective and describe that in detail in this document. We explain how we use VStitcher animations as a ground truth to model cloth simulation in Unity-Obi. We identify vertex movement of the garment for a given animation and then use Nevergrad optimisation to work out the optimal Obi parameters for that garment on a given avatar. Combining this with the body tracking described in sections 4 (for Snapchat) and 5 (for Unity) allowed us to create initial working versions of the MagicMirror app. The detail of the difficulties encountered and solutions to these issues is provided in this deliverable.
 As well as the MagicMirror (in sections 4 and 5), we also describe the progress of the DressMeUp (section 6) and VR Designer (section 7) applications. In both of these applications we have successfully created an end-to-end prototype. In the DressMeUp
 app, we have taken the scans from WP1 and integrated them into our pipeline. As part of this process we have identified some of the current limitations around avatar-garment alignment. We have built a framework for evaluating the results and will use this to target
 improvements over the next few months. In the VR designer app, we explain the decision to directly use VStitcher animations for best results and the next steps to integrate more realistic looking avatars into that application.

description: Wanderings in India: Australian Perceptions, sharing its title with a curious and entertaining travel book written by the first Australian-born writer John Lang, is a collection of essays about diverse encounters between Australians and Indians in both South Asia and the Antipodes. The chapters—creative, reflective and academic—meet the objectives of a volume that provide snapshots of the wide range of interests and issues that Australians have shown towards India. Taken as a whole, the chapters represent a range of responses, reactions and experiences that chart the course of the ongoing engagement between Australia and India, between Australians and Indians. While there is something of an emphasis on literary responses, charting the ebb and flow of writers’ reactions to India from the 1850s onwards, this volume also includes historical, political, sporting and other writings about the complex “magnetic amalgams” that link Australia and India. The basic idea is to encourage on-going research and other kinds of writing about cross-cultural engagements between India and Australia; it is hoped that this volume will contribute to discussions about Australia-India relations in the coming century.

description: In this work, we perform a combination of classical and spin wave analysis on the one-dimensional spin-$S$ Kitaev-Heisenberg-Gamma model in the region of an antiferromagnetic Kitaev coupling. Four phases are found, including a Néel ordered phase, a phase with $O_h\rightarrow D_3$ symmetry breaking, and "$D_3$-breaking I, II" phases which both break $D_3$ symmetries albeit in different ways, where $O_h$ is the full octahedral group and $D_3$ is the dihedral group of order six. The lowest-lying spin wave mass is calculated perturbatively in the vicinity of the hidden SU(2) symmetric ferromagnetic point.

description: The majority of consumers surveyed (77 percent) report awareness of the Jersey Fresh, state-sponsored promotional program. However, certain segments appear more likely to be familiar with Jersey Fresh and its logos than others are. Behavioral and demographic models were constructed to evaluate which characteristics influence consumer awareness of Jersey Fresh. The results indicate that those who shop at more than one supermarket, those who frequently shop at direct marketing facilities, and those who frequently read food advertisements are more likely to exhibit a preexisting awareness of the Jersey Fresh Program. The results also indicate that the period of residence in the state positively contributed to the awareness of the program.

description: The study of transcription remains one of the centerpieces of modern biology with implications in settings from development to metabolism to evolution to disease. Precision measurements using a host of different techniques including fluorescence and sequencing readouts have raised the bar for what it means to quantitatively understand transcriptional regulation. In particular our understanding of the simplest genetic circuit is sufficiently refined both experimentally and theoretically that it has become possible to carefully discriminate between different conceptual pictures of how this regulatory system works. This regulatory motif, originally posited by Jacob and Monod in the 1960s, consists of a single transcriptional repressor binding to a promoter site and inhibiting transcription. In this paper, we show how seven distinct models of this so-called simple-repression motif, based both on equilibrium and kinetic thinking, can be used to derive the predicted levels of gene expression and shed light on the often surprising past success of the equilbrium models. These different models are then invoked to confront a variety of different data on mean, variance and full gene expression distributions, illustrating the extent to which such models can and cannot be distinguished, and suggesting a two-state model with a distribution of burst sizes as the most potent of the seven for describing the simple-repression motif.

description: Irradiation of food products is one of several techniques that reduce the risk of food-borne illness. Despite its advantages, the technique has been used sparingly because consumers are wary about this technology. A logit model is used to evaluate the impacts of demographic factors on attitudes toward purchasing foods that have been irradiated and toward paying more for irradiated foods. An important finding of this study is that consumers who are familiar with irradiation are significantly more likely to buy and pay more for irradiated products than those who have never heard of irradiation. This implies that educational programs aimed at informing consumers about the benefits of irradiation can work.

description: Safety and automatic control are extremely important when operating manipulators. For large engineering manipulators, the main challenge is to accurately recognize the posture of all arm segments. In classical sensing methods, the accuracy of an inclinometer is easily affected by the elastic deformation in the manipulator's arms. This results in big error accumulations when sensing the angle of joints between arms one by one. In addition, the sensing method based on machine vision is not suitable for such kind of outdoor working situation yet. In this paper, we propose a novel posture positioning method for multi-joint manipulators based on wireless sensor network localization. The posture sensing problem is formulated as a Nearest-Euclidean-Distance-Matrix (NEDM) model. The resulting approach is referred to as EDM-based posture positioning approach (EPP) and it satisfies the following guiding principles: (i) The posture of each arm segment on a multi-joint manipulator must be estimated as accurately as possible; (ii) The approach must be computationally fast; (iii) The designed approach should not be susceptible to obstructions. To further improve accuracy, we explore the inherent structure of manipulators, i.e., fixed-arm length. This is naturally presented as linear constraints in the NEDM model. For concrete pumps, a typical multi-joint manipulator, the mechanical property that all arm segments always lie in a 2D plane is used for dimension-reduction operation. Simulation and experimental results show that the proposed method provides efficient solutions for posture sensing problem and can obtain preferable localization performance with faster speed than applying the existing localization methods.

description: Electroweak precision observables allow stringent tests of the Standard Model at the quantum level and imply interesting bounds on the mass of the Higgs boson through higher-order loop effects. Very significant constraints come especially from the determination of the mass of the W boson and from the effective leptonic weak mixing angle. After shortly reviewing the status of theoretical computations of the W mass, the new calculation of two-loop corrections with closed fermion loops to the effective leptonic weak mixing angle is discussed in detail. The phenomenological implications of the new result are analyzed including an estimate of remaining uncertainties.

description: Propagons play an important role in tuning the thermal conductivity of nanostructured amorphous materials. Although advances have been made to quantitatively evaluate the relaxation time of propagons with molecular dynamics, the underlying relaxation mechanism remains unexplored. Here, we investigate the relaxation process of propagons in amorphous silicon, amorphous silica, and amorphous silicon nitride at room temperature in terms of Akhiezer model, the parameters of which were evaluated by performing lattice dynamics and molecular dynamics analysis. The results show that the Akhiezer model can well reproduce experimental results obtained by various kinds of measurement methods, indicating that Akhiezer mechanism dominates the relaxation process of propagons at room temperature. Moreover, we show that the appropriate sound speed of propagons is around 80% of the Debye sound speed and comparable to that of the sound speed of the transversal modes. We also reveal that the contribution of diffusons to the total thermal conductivity of these amorphous is similar, which is around 1 W/m K, while the contribution of propagons varies significantly depending on the materials, which is 30% in amorphous silicon and silica but can be as high as 70% in amorphous silicon nitride.

Predator-prey cycles from resonant amplification of demographic stochasticity

description: In this paper we present the simplest individual level model of predator-prey dynamics and show, via direct calculation, that it exhibits cycling behavior. The deterministic analogue of our model, recovered when the number of individuals is infinitely large, is the Volterra system (with density-dependent prey reproduction) which is well-known to fail to predict cycles. This difference in behavior can be traced to a resonant amplification of demographic fluctuations which disappears only when the number of individuals is strictly infinite. Our results indicate that additional biological mechanisms, such as predator satiation, may not be necessary to explain observed predator-prey cycles in real (finite) populations.

description: Additional file 1. Supplementary section The Ap index is a measure of the general level of geomagnetic activity over the globe for a given day. It is derived from measurements made at a number of stations world-wide of the variation of the geomagnetic field due to currents flowing in the earth's ionosphere and, to a lesser extent, in the earth's magnetosphere. The official values for Ap are calculated by the GeoForschungsZentrum Helmholtz Centre Potsdam (Germany) [39]. The sunspot number index R is a measure of the area of solar surface covered by spots. As the number of spots increases and their magnetic complexity grows, they become likely sources of large eruptive energy releases known as solar flares. The sunspot number index is also often called Wolf number in reference to the Swiss astronomer J. R. Wolf who introduced this index in 1848 [40]. The sun emits radio energy with slowly varying intensity. This radio flux, which originates from atmospheric layers high in the sun's chromosphere and low in its corona, changes gradually from day to day in response to the number of spot groups on the disk. Solar flux from the entire solar disk at a frequency of 2800 MHz has been recorded routinely by a radio telescope near Ottawa since February 1947 and is called the F10.7 index40. The AU (amplitude upper) index describes the disturbance level recorded by auroral zone magnetometers [40]. The radiation hazard from solar proton events (SPEs) has been characterized in terms of integral fluxes above selected threshold energies. We used high energy proton fluxes >60 MeV for our analysis [41].

description: Community Informatics is an emergent discipline with a dual focus: the conduct of research about the relationship between the design of information and communications technologies (ICTs) and local communities; and the implementation of ICT projects in local communities. While most of the Community Informatics literature focuses on empirical work and its relationship to more technically-oriented Information or Management Systems thinking, this book will use a combination of theoretical and case study approaches to explore the relationship between Community Informatics, Social Informatics, and broader social theory. Themes include: social order mediated through ICTs; community and cohesion; class and power; social psychology and technology; the relationship between personal agency and social structure mediated through technology; and the nature of institutional or community formations in the age of ICTs.

description: To unravel pairing mechanism of a superconductor from limited, indirect experimental data is always a difficult task. It is common but sometimes dubious to explain by a theoretical model with some tuning parameters. In this work, we propose that the machine learning might infer pairing mechanism from observables like superconducting gap functions. For superconductivity within the Migdal-Eliashberg theory, we perform supervised learning between superconducting gap functions and electron-boson spectral functions. For simple spectral functions, the neural network can easily capture the correspondence and predict perfectly. For complex spectral functions, an autoencoder is utilized to reduce the complexity of the spectral functions to be compatible to that of the gap functions. After this complexity-reduction process, relevant information of the spectral function is extracted and good performance restores. Our proposed method can extract relevant information from data and can be applied to general function-to-function mappings with asymmetric complexities either in physics or other fields.

description: This collection of essays by established and emerging scholars of Australian publishing examines the industry in the wake of both the Global Financial Crisis of 2008 and the various shocks and upheavals associated with the rise of ebooks. The authors here look beyond the digital, so prominent in many considerations of contemporary publishing, to questions of the book as a material artefact. As consumer trends increasingly suggest print will remain the central medium for the global publishing industry, it is asked if the messy state of affairs existing now, after the digital revolution, can be described as ‘post-digital’. With reference to a range of cultural, economic and technological issues, these essays examine how publishers are leveraging the possibilities afforded by multiple modes of dissemination.
Tax shifting is not 'win-win' : the employment-related equity impacts of ecological fiscal reform
Creators: name: Montgomery, Barbara
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Ecological fiscal reform (EFR) is a policy that is usually framed as shifting taxes from "goods" (like investment or labour) onto "bads" (like pollution). It is commonly asserted to result in a 'double-dividend'. The first dividend refers to achieving environmental objectives; the second dividend refers to an increase in employment. It is generally thought that this 'win-win' outcome will automatically come about through the efficient workings of the invisible hand of the market. In this thesis I evaluate the employment-related equity impacts of shifting taxes from labour to carbon emitting activities. The direct ecological steering effect of EFR is also discussed but is given less emphasis than equity concerns. This is because I think that sustainable development policies that create or make worse inequality among humans will reduce the efficacy of ecological goals of such policies over the long-term (i.e. equity is necessary because inequity tends to exacerbate environmental degradation). I look at both theoretical and empirical conclusions from the literature on the employment impacts of a tax shift. I evaluate the likelihood of the employment dividend and the conditions required for it to occur, in addition to adding identities to economic scenarios to evaluate distributional impacts. Dominant discourse on the subject is critically analyzed to draw further conclusions about potential employment-related equity impacts of EFR. I conclude that 'win-win' is not guaranteed; the market will not automatically bring about a fair distribution of costs of this policy initiative. Environmentally motivated policy choices must be accompanied by socially enlightened ones if we are to achieve enduring improvement in ecological health.

description: We study numerically the equilibrium shapes, shape transitions and dislocation nucleation of small strained epitaxial islands with a two-dimensional atomistic model, using simple interatomic pair potentials. We first map out the phase diagram for the equilibrium island shapes as a function of island size (up to N = 105 atoms) and lattice misfit with the substrate and show that nanoscopic islands have four generic equilibrium shapes, in contrast with predictions from the continuum theory of elasticity. For increasing substrate-adsorbate attraction, we find islands that form on top of a finite wetting layer as observed in Stranski-Krastanow growth. We also investigate energy barriers and transition paths for transitions between different shapes of the islands and for dislocation nucleation in initially coherent islands. In particular, we find that dislocations nucleate spontaneously at the edges of the adsorbate-substrate interface above a critical size or lattice misfit.

description: We introduce inequalities for multi-partite entanglement, derived from the geometry of spin vectors. The criteria are constructed iteratively from cross and dot products between the spins of individual subsystems, each of which may have arbitrary dimension. For qubit ensembles the maximum violation for our inequalities is larger than that for the Mermin-Klyshko Bell inequalities, and the maximally violating states are different from Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger states. Our inequalities are violated by certain bound entangled states for which no Bell-type violation has yet been found.

Our theoretical framework derives a functional relationship between investments expenditures and environmental benefits. By extending the investment framework, we model reservoir benefits as a function of marginal changes in soil erosion.

Two-loop SUSY QCD correction to the gluino pole mass
Creators: name: Yamada, Youichi
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2006
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We calculate the pole mass of the gluino as a function of the running parameters in the lagrangian, to O(alpha_s^2) in SUSY QCD. The correction shifts the pole mass from the running mass by typically 1-2 %. This shift can be larger than the expected accuracy of the mass determination at future colliders, and should be taken into account for precision studies of the SUSY breaking parameters. The effects of other corrections are breifly commented.

description: On the basis of the viscous Saint-Venant equations, hydraulic jumps in laminar open channel flow are obtained as continuous shock structures. Thanks to the inclusion of viscosity, the jumps are not abrupt, rendering the classic patchwork via the Rankine-Hugoniot shock relations unnecessary. The jumps arise as stable stationary solutions of the governing equations and lend themselves excellently to a Dynamical Systems analysis, manifesting themselves as near-parabolic trajectories in phase space. Based on this, we derive an analytic expression for the jump length as a function of the Froude and Reynolds numbers, reflecting the fact that both gravity and viscosity contribute to the balance of forces that shape the jump. The paper concludes with a numerical experiment confirming the stability of the jumps.

description: This paper proposes a nonparametric bias-reduction regression estimator which can accommodate two empirically relevant data environments. The first data environment assumes that at least one of the predictor variables is discrete. In such an empirical framework, a "cell" approach, which consists of estimating a separate regression for each discrete cell has generally been employed. However, the "cell" estimator may be inefficient in that it does not include data from the other cells when estimating the regression function for a given cell. The second data environment assumes that the researcher is faced with a system of regression functions that belong to different experimental units. In each case, the new estimator attempts to reduce estimation error by incorporating extraneous data from the remaining experimental units (or cells) when estimating a given individual regression function. Consistency of the proposed estimator is established and Monte Carlo simulations demonstrate its strong finite sample performance.

Subjects: subject: Accelerator Physics (physics.acc-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: An electron-proton/ion collider facility (eRHIC) is under consideration at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL). Such a new facility will require the design and construction of a new optimized detector profiting from the world's first ep collider facility HERA at DESY. The detailed design is closely coupled to the design of the interaction region and thus to the machine development work in general. Implications and constraints on the ep(A) interaction-region design will be discussed.

Many-body spin Berry phases emerging from the $π$-flux state: antiferromagnetic/valence-bond-solid competition

description: We uncover new topology-related features of the $π$-flux saddle-point solution of the $D$=2+1 Heisenberg antiferromagnet. We note that symmetries of the spinons sustain a built-in competition between antiferromagnetic (AF) and valence-bond-solid (VBS) orders, the two tendencies central to recent developments on quantum criticality. An effective theory containing an analogue of the Wess-Zumino-Witten term is derived, which generates quantum phases related to AF monopoles with VBS cores, and reproduces Haldane's hedgehog Berry phases. The theory readily generalizes to $π$-flux states for all $D$.

description: We present a method for the direct calculation of the spin stiffness by means of the coupled cluster method. For the spin-half Heisenberg antiferromagnet on the square, the triangular and the cubic lattices we calculate the stiffness in high orders of approximation. For the square and the cubic lattices our results are in very good agreement with the best results available in the literature. For the triangular lattice our result is more precise than any other result obtained so far by other approximate method.

Measurement of the Energy Release Rate and the Reconnection Rate in Solar Flares

description: By using the method presented by Isobe et al. (2002), the non-dimensional reconnection rate Vin/Va has been determined for the impulsive phase of three two-ribbon flares, where Vin is the velocity of the reconnection inflow and Va is the Alfven velocity. The non-dimensional reconnection rate is important to make a constraint on the theoretical models of magnetic reconnection. In order to reduce the uncertainty of the reconnection rate, it is important to determine the energy release rate of the flares from observational data as accurately as possible. To this end, we have carried out one dimensional hydrodynamic simulations of a flare loop and synthesized the count rate detected by the soft X-ray telescope (SXT) aboard Yohkoh satellite. We found that the time derivative of the thermal energy contents in a flare arcade derived from SXT data is smaller than the real energy release rate by a factor of 0.3 - 0.8, depending on the loop length and the energy release rate. The result of simulation is presented in the paper and used to calculate the reconnection rate. We found that reconnection rate is 0.047 for the X2.3 flare on 2000 November 24, 0.015 for the M3.7 flare on 2000 July 14, and 0.071 for the C8.9 flare on 2000 November 16. These values are similar to that derived from the direct observation of the reconnection inflow by Yokoyama et al. (2001), and consistent with the fast reconnection models such as that of Petschek (1964).

description: How can we seek justice and redress for the sexual abuse of children and better prevent the occurrence of such abuse? This work brings together the thoughts on this question advanced by leading scholars, from a range of disciplinary backgrounds, from around the world. These thinkers – some also professional practitioners – provide new perspectives on sanctioned and informal responses to abuse in religious, educational and total institutions, as well as to abuse carried out in non-institutional settings. The Sexual Abuse of Children will be a valuable resource for researchers, students and those who deal with related issues in professional contexts.

description: Recently, financial assistance to farms has been widely under scrutiny. Agricultural assistance has an important impact on farmers' production decisions and those decisions in turn affect resources use or environmental quality. Surprisingly, the impact of agricultural policies on agro-biodiversity has been relatively neglected. This paper purports a novel framework to analyze the role of crop biodiversity on the mean and the variance of farm revenues. Further, the potential use of this framework in studying the impact of farm financial assistance to crop biodiversity loss is investigated.
