description: Using combinations of Hα, ultraviolet (UV), and infrared (IR) emission, we estimate the star formation rate (SFR) surface density, Σ_SFR, at 1 kpc resolution for 30 disk galaxies that are targets of the IRAM HERACLES CO survey. We present a new physically-motivated IR spectral energy distribution-based approach to account for possible contributions to 24\mum emission not associated with recent star formation. Considering a variety of "reference" SFRs from the literature, we revisit the calibration of the 24\mum term in hybrid (UV+IR or Hα+IR) tracers. We show that the overall calibration of this term remains uncertain at the factor of two level because of the lack of wide-field, robust reference SFR estimates. Within this uncertainty, published calibrations represent a reasonable starting point for 1 kpc-wide areas of star-forming disk galaxies but we re-derive and refine the calibration of the IR term in these tracers to match our resolution and approach to 24\mum emission. We compare a large suite of Σ_SFR estimates and find that above Σ_SFR \sim 10^-3 M_\odot yr^-1 kpc^-2 the systematic differences among tracers are less than a factor of two across two orders of magnitude dynamic range. We caution that methodology and data both become serious issues below this level. We note from simple model considerations that focusing on a part of a galaxy dominated by a single stellar population the intrinsic uncertainty in Hαand FUV-based SFRs are \sim 0.3 and \sim 0.5 dex.

description: We study the quantum self-organization of a few interacting particles with strong short-range interactions. The physical system is modeled via a 2D Hubbard square lattice model, with a nearest-neighbor interaction term of strength U and a second nearest-neighbor hopping t. For t=0 the energy of the system is determined by the number of bonds between particles that lie on adjacent sites in the Hubbard lattice. We find that this bond order persists for the ground and some of the excited states of the system, for strong interaction strength, at different fillings of the system. For our analysis we use the Euler characteristic of the network/graph grid structures formed by the particles in real space (Fock states), which helps to quantify the energetical(bond) ordering. We find multiple ground and excited states, with integer Euler numbers, whose values persist from the $t=0$ case, for strong interaction $U>>t$. The corresponding quantum phases for the ground state contain either density-wave-order(DWO) for low fillings, where the particles stay apart form each other, or clustering-order(CO) for high fillings, where the particles form various structures as they condense into clusters. In addition, we find various excited states containing superpositions of Fock states, whose probability amplitudes are self-tuned in a way that preserves the integer value of the Euler characteristic from the $t=0$ limit.

The analysis requires us to correct and extend an existing partial classification of homogeneous quotients $G/K$ with the rational homotopy type of a product of an odd- and an even-dimensional sphere.

description: We prove that if all intersections of a convex body $B\subset\mathbb R^4$ with 3-dimensional linear subspaces are linearly equivalent then $B$ is a centered ellipsoid. This gives an affirmative answer to the case $n=3$ of the following question by Banach from 1932: Is a normed vector space $V$ whose $n$-dimensional linear subspaces are all isometric, for a fixed $2 \le n< \dim V$, necessarily Euclidean? The dimensions $n=3$ and $\dim V=4$ is the first case where the question was unresolved. Since the $3$-sphere is parallelizable, known global topological methods do not help in this case. Our proof employs a differential geometric approach.

description: An emerging theme in modern astrophysics is the connection between astronomical observations and the underlying physical phenomena that drive our cosmos. Both the mechanisms responsible for the observed astrophysical phenomena and the tools used to probe such phenomena - the radiation and particle spectra we observe - have their roots in atomic, molecular, condensed matter, plasma, nuclear and particle physics. Chemistry is implicitly included in both molecular and condensed matter physics. This connection is the theme of the present report, which provides a broad, though non-exhaustive, overview of progress in our understanding of the cosmos resulting from recent theoretical and experimental advances in what is commonly called laboratory astrophysics. This work, carried out by a diverse community of laboratory astrophysicists, is increasingly important as astrophysics transitions into an era of precise measurement and high fidelity modeling.

Open Gromov-Witten invariants in dimension six

Year: 2012
Subjects: subject: Symplectic Geometry (math.SG)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: Let $L$ be a closed orientable Lagrangian submanifold of a closed symplectic six-manifold $(X, ω)$. We assume that the first homology group $H_1 (L ; A)$ with coefficients in a commutative ring $A$ injects into the group $H_1 (X ; A)$ and that $X$ contains no Maslov zero pseudo-holomorphic disc with boundary on $L$. Then, we prove that for every generic choice of a tame almost-complex structure $J$ on $X$, every relative homology class $d \in H_2 (X, L ; \Z)$ and adequate number of incidence conditions in $L$ or $X$, the weighted number of $J$-holomorphic discs with boundary on $L$, homologous to $d$, and either irreducible or reducible disconnected, which satisfy the conditions, does not depend on the generic choice of $J$, provided that at least one incidence condition lies in $L$. These numbers thus define open Gromov-Witten invariants in dimension six, taking values in the ring $A$.

Trapping in three-planet resonances during gas-driven migration

description: We study the establishment of three-planet resonances -similar to the Laplace resonance in the Galilean satellites- and their effects on the mutual inclinations of the orbital planes of the planets, assuming that the latter undergo migration in a gaseous disc. In particular, we examine the resonance relations that occur, by varying the physical and initial orbital parameters of the planets (mass, initial semi-major axis and eccentricity) as well as the parameters of the migration forces (migration rate and eccentricity damping rate), which are modeled here through a simplified analytic prescription. We find that, in general, for planetary masses below 1.5 M_J, multiple-planet resonances of the form n3:n2:n1=1:2:4 and 1:3:6 are established, as the inner planets, m1 and m2, get trapped in a 1:2 resonance and the outer planet m3 subsequently is captured in a 1:2 or 1:3 resonance with m2. For mild eccentricity damping, the resonance pumps the eccentricities of all planets on a relatively short time-scale, to the point where they enter an inclination-type resonance (as in Libert & Tsiganis 2011); then mutual inclinations can grow to ~35°, thus forming a "3-D system". On the other hand, we find that trapping of m2 in a 2:3 resonance with m1 occurs very rarely, for the range of masses used here, so only two cases of capture in a respective three-planet resonance were found. Our results suggest that trapping in a three-planet resonance can be common in exoplanetary systems, provided that the planets are not very massive. Inclination pumping could then occur relatively fast, provided that eccentricity damping is not very efficient so that at least one of the inner planets acquires an orbital eccentricity higher than e=0.3.

A crucial point in our modeling procedure is the selection of smoothing parameters in the regularization method. In order to choose the parameters objectively, we derive model selection criteria from the viewpoints of information-theoretic and Bayesian approach. We demonstrate the effectiveness of proposed modeling strategy through Monte Carlo simulations and analyzing a real data set.

description: Starting from an $SU(N)$ matrix quantum mechanics model with massive deformation terms and by introducing an ansatz configuration involving fuzzy four- and two-spheres with collective time dependence, we obtain a family of effective Hamiltonians, $H_n \,, (N = \frac{1}{6}(n+1)(n+2)(n+3))$ and examine their emerging chaotic dynamics. Through numerical work, we model the variation of the largest Lyapunov exponents as a function of the energy and find that they vary either as $\propto (E-(E_n)_F)^{1/4} $ or $\propto E^{1/4}$, where $(E_n)_F$ stand for the energies of the unstable fixed points of the phase space. We use our results to put upper bounds on the temperature above which the Lyapunov exponents comply with the Maldacena-Shenker-Stanford (MSS) bound, $2 πT $, and below which it will eventually be violated.

description: Equipping drones with target search capabilities is highly desirable for applications in disaster rescue and smart warehouse delivery systems. Multiple intelligent drones that can collaborate with each other and maneuver among obstacles show more effectiveness in accomplishing tasks in a shorter amount of time. However, carrying out collaborative target search (CTS) without prior target information is extremely challenging, especially with a visual drone swarm. In this work, we propose a novel data-efficient deep reinforcement learning (DRL) approach called adaptive curriculum embedded multistage learning (ACEMSL) to address these challenges, mainly 3-D sparse reward space exploration with limited visual perception and collaborative behavior requirements. Specifically, we decompose the CTS task into several subtasks including individual obstacle avoidance, target search, and inter-agent collaboration, and progressively train the agents with multistage learning. Meanwhile, an adaptive embedded curriculum (AEC) is designed, where the task difficulty level (TDL) can be adaptively adjusted based on the success rate (SR) achieved in training. ACEMSL allows data-efficient training and individual-team reward allocation for the visual drone swarm. Furthermore, we deploy the trained model over a real visual drone swarm and perform CTS operations without fine-tuning. Extensive simulations and real-world flight tests validate the effectiveness and generalizability of ACEMSL. The project is available at https://github.com/NTU-UAVG/CTS-visual-drone-swarm.git.

description: We canonically quantize the Proca field in the Rindler wedge and compute the total response rate of a uniformly accelerated current interacting with massive vector Rindler particles from the Unruh thermal bath. We explicitly verify that the result obtained is exactly the same as the emission rate of massive vector particles in the Minkowski vacuum as analyzed by inertial observers. Eventually our results are interpreted in terms of the interaction of static electrons coupled to $Z^0$ bosons present in Hawking radiation close to the event horizon of a black hole.

description: This study examined the contribution of attachment security/insecurity and self-esteem to identity formation. A convenience sample of 120 volunteer university students, 106 women and 14 men, aged between 18-25 years, participated in this study. The Extended Objective Measure of Ego Identity Status-Two, (EOMEIS -2), (Adams, Bennion & Huh, 1989) was used to measure the participants' identity status, the Adult Attachment Scale (AAS) (Collins and Read, 1990) to measure attachment styles and the Self-Liking Self-Competence Scale (SLSC) (Tafarodi and Swann, 1995) to measure self - esteem. A Hierarchical Multiple Regression analysis showed that the three attachment subscales, Secure, Ambivalent and Avoidant, together contributed significantly to the variance in all the identity statuses except for Achievement. Contrary to what was expected the Avoidant subscale made a significant independent contribution to the variance in Achievement status scores and the Ambivalent subscale made a significant independent contribution to the variance in Moratorium status scores. A Hierarchical Multiple Regression analysis showed that the two self-esteem subscales together contributed significantly only to the variance in Achievement status scores. Independently Self-Liking was found to contribute positively to the variance in Achievement scores and Self-Competence was found to contribute negatively to the variance in the Diffusion scores. These results were discussed in relation to theories of attachment and identity formation.

description: The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Fisheries Service and many U.S. fishing industry groups believe that U.S. fisheries are sustainably managed under the strict mandates of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act and other applicable laws; however, U.S. consumers hear conflicting messages about the sustainability of U.S. seafood. This assessment illustrates conformance between the U.S. federal marine fisheries management system and internationally-accepted guidelines adopted by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO). The assessment concludes that NOAA Fisheries addresses all of the FAO's "Minimum Substantive Requirements and Criteria for Ecolabelling." Current management strengths include a participatory and transparent sciencebased fishery management system, with further effort needed to develop a clear, nationwide implementation of ecosystem-based management approaches. The FAO Ecolabelling Guidelines focus on biological components of sustainability; however, the economic and social aspects of sustainable development also need to be addressed if fisheries are to be fully sustainable. Therefore, NOAA Fisheries surpasses FAO criteria when considering socioeconomic impacts. This conformance assessment will aid NOAA Fisheries and the public by systematically documenting and communicating the sustainable management of U.S. fisheries.

description: This thesis presents an indepth study of reduplication in Hiligaynon, one of the eight major languages of the Philippines. It is initially proposed that there are seven classes of reduplication in Hiligaynon. These classes are later reduced to three major classes, which are formalized in terms of consonant-vowel skeleta: CVCCV(C+) (Class 1), C-ulu- (Class 2), and CV- (Class 3). Two important reduplication: problems surface in Hiligaynon (1) does the copying of the vowel in -Vl Infixation constitute reduplication?; and (2) how can a grammar account for the interaction of Nasal Substitution and Vowel Syncope with reduplication? It is shown that stress placement plays an important role in determining what constitutes reduplication. Although the phonological shape of the vowel in -Vl- Infixation is predictable from the first vowel of the root to which it attaches, this morphological process does not represent reduplication since stress placement in -Vl infixed forms resembles stress placement in other affixed forms rather than in reduplicated forms. This thesis shows how a standard generative grammar, in which phonological processes apply to the output of the morphological component, fails to account for the interaction of Nasal Substitution and Vowel Syncope (phonological processes) with reduplication (a morphological process). It is also shown that Wilbur's (1973) Identity Constraint, Carrier's (1979) ordering solution, Marantz's rnorpholexical rules, and Mohanan's (1982) dissertation on Lexical Phonology are inadequate for dealing with the Hiligaynon data. In this study, this interaction is accounted for by allowing Nasal Substitution and Vowel Syncope to apply in the morphological component as "morpholexical rules", and by ordering them extrinsically in relation to different classes of reduplication.

We use renormalization techniques of quantum field theory to show that the electromagnetic properties like electric permittivity and magnetic permeability depend on the temperature and density of the media. Casimir force also depends upon the physical properties of the medium and becomes a function of these parameters within the nano-systems. We discuss the effect of the Casimir force on the nanosystems in terms of temperature and density of the system. We present carbon nanotubes and biomolecules as examples.

Sustainable agricultural development

description: This study assessed agricultural commercialization and rural infrastructure development of smallholder cassava farmers in rural Southwestern Nigeria. The study was conducted in Nigeria with cross-sectional data collected from 352 smallholder cassava farmers. Crop commercialization index (CCI) was used to compute each farmer’s CCI and categorized into four levels while ordered logit model was employed to analyze the determinants of agricultural commercialization of cassava farmers in the study areas. Availability of some important rural infrastructures were assessed across cassava farmers’ commercialization levels. The results revealed that 13.1 % of cassava farmers did not participate in the sale of cassava roots while 86.9 % of them participated actively in the output market. T he mean and maximum CCI in the study areas was 59.1 and 95.5 respectively. The results also showed that less than 40 % and 20 % of cassava farmers in all commercialization levels had access to electricity and piped water respectively. The ordered logit regression analysis indicated that age, transport cost, cassava marketing experience, and distance to market were among the determinants of agricultural commercialization. Therefore, stakeholders should expedite policy actions capable of promoting rural infrastructure development that will enhance agricultural production, marketing and improve the quality of life of rural farming communities.

description: At the heart of any finite element simulation is the assembly of matrices and vectors from discrete variational forms. We propose a general interface between problem-specific and general-purpose components of finite element programs. This interface is called Unified Form-assembly Code (UFC). A wide range of finite element problems is covered, including mixed finite elements and discontinuous Galerkin methods. We discuss how the UFC interface enables implementations of variational form evaluation to be independent of mesh and linear algebra components. UFC does not depend on any external libraries, and is released into the public domain.

description: Non-radiative energy transfer between a Rydberg atom and a polar molecule can be controlled by a DC electric field. Here we show how to exploit this control for state-resolved, non-destructive detection and spectroscopy of the molecules where the lineshape reflects the type of molecular transition. Using the example of ammonia, we identify the conditions for collision-mediated spectroscopy in terms of the required electric field strengths, relative velocities, and molecular densities. Rydberg atom-enabled spectroscopy is feasible with current experimental technology, providing a versatile detection method as basic building block for applications of polar molecules in quantum technologies and chemical reaction studies.

description: We have found that non-STEM majors taking either a conceptual physics or astronomy course at two regional comprehensive institutions score significantly lower pre-instruction on the Lawson's Classroom Test of Scientific Reasoning (LCTSR) in comparison to national average STEM majors. The majority of non-STEM students can be classified as either concrete operational or transitional reasoners in Piaget's theory of cognitive development, whereas in the STEM population formal operational reasoners are far more prevalent. In particular, non-STEM students demonstrate significant difficulty with proportional and hypothetico-deductive reasoning. Pre-scores on the LCTSR are correlated with normalized learning gains on various concept inventories. The correlation is strongest for content that can be categorized as mostly theoretical, meaning a lack of directly observable exemplars, and weakest for content categorized as mostly descriptive, where directly observable exemplars are abundant. Although the implementation of research-verified, interactive engagement pedagogy can lead to gains in content knowledge, significant gains in theoretical content (such as force and energy) are more difficult with non-STEM students. We also observe no significant gains on the LCTSR without explicit instruction in scientific reasoning patterns. These results further demonstrate that differences in student populations are important when comparing normalized gains on concept inventories, and the achievement of significant gains in scientific reasoning requires a re-evaluation of the traditional approach to physics for non-STEM students.

description: The difficulty in determining the mass of a sample increases as its size diminishes. At the nanoscale, there are no direct methods for resolving the mass of single molecules or nanoparticles and so more sophisticated approaches based on electromechanical phenomena are required. More importantly, one demands that such nanoelectromechanical techniques could provide not only information about the mass of the target molecules but also about their geometrical properties. In this sense, we report a theoretical study that illustrates in detail how graphene membranes can operate as nanoelectromechanical mass-sensor devices. Wide graphene sheets were exposed to different types and amounts of molecules and molecular dynamic simulations were employed to treat these doping processes statistically. We demonstrate that the mass variation effect and information about the graphene-molecule interactions can be inferred through dynamical response functions. Our results confirm the potential use of graphene as mass detector devices with remarkable precision in estimating variations in mass at molecular scale and other physical properties of the dopants.
Stratigraphy and reservoir geology of the Carmopolis Oil Field, Brazil

description: Bibliography: p. 103-107.
description: The Carmopolis Oil Field occupies a sequence of Neocomian and older sandstones and extends into an unconformably overlying wedge of Aptian conglomerates. The conglomerates are the subject of this study and are interpreted to have been deposited in an alluvial-fan environment under semi-arid climatic conditions. Systematic textural and compositional variations have been identified. Proximal to distal trends include decreasing clast size and composition, heavy mineral proportion and rock grain density. These changes provide the basis of a reservoir classification which begins with definition and mapping of lithologic units and establishment of regional changes of lithology and reservoir quality. Rock grain density varies systematically with grain size and permeability and new correlations provide a method of obtaining more accurate porosity estimates and, therefore, reservoir volume. Permeability can be estimated indirectly from bulk density derived from well logs where core is not available. Diagenetic modifications also are related to the composition of clasts and primary texture and regional trends of secondary porosity are predicted. The effects of diagenesis on enhanced oil recovery are of two types: those related to modification of original pore structure and those caused by pore blockage related to the presence of clay minerals. Reservoir heterogeneities are recognized on several scales from those related to major conglomerate units to pore scale heterogeneities formed by selective dissolution. Reservoir sweep and displacement efficiency is related to the types and extent of heterogeneity and regional mapping of types may be useful in estimating recovery factors and implementing new recovery schemes.

description: Topological insulator-based methods underpin the topological classification of gapped bands, including those surrounding semi-metallic nodal defects. However, multiple bands with gap-closing points can also possess non-trivial topology. We construct a general wavefunction-based ``punctured-Chern" invariant to capture such topology. To show its general applicability, we analyze two systems with disparate gapless topology: 1) a recent two-dimensional fragile topological model to capture the various band-topological transitions and 2) a three-dimensional model with a triple-point nodal defect to characterize its semi-metallic topology with \emph{half-integers} that govern physical observables such as anomalous transport. This invariant also gives the classification for Nexus triple-points ($\mathbb{Z}\times\mathbb{Z}$) with certain symmetry restrictions, which is re-confirmed by abstract algebra.
description: Significant revision compared to the previous version with additional results on a fragile topological model. Previous results are unaffected. Codes are available at https://www.dropbox.com/s/wgy3ugj7nfk0c5w/Nexus_2d_3d.nb?dl=0 on how to calculate the punctured-Chern numbers in both the 2D and 3D applications shown in the paper. 6 pages of main text with 3 figures, 4 pages of supplementary text

Propagation of Ultra-High-Energy Cosmic Ray Nuclei in Cosmic Magnetic Fields and Implications for Anisotropy Measurements

description: (Abridged) Recent results from the Pierre Auger Observatory (PAO) indicate that the composition of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) with energies above $10^{19}$ eV may be dominated by heavy nuclei. An important question is whether the distribution of arrival directions for such UHECR nuclei can exhibit observable anisotropy or positional correlations with their astrophysical source objects despite the expected strong deflections by intervening magnetic fields. For this purpose, we have simulated the propagation of UHECR nuclei including models for both the extragalactic magnetic field and the Galactic magnetic field. Assuming that only iron nuclei are injected steadily from sources with equal luminosity and spatially distributed according to the observed large scale structure in the local Universe, at the number of events published by the PAO so far, the arrival distribution of UHECRs would be consistent with no auto-correlation at 95% confidence if the mean number density of UHECR sources $n_s >~ 10^{-6}$ Mpc$^{-3}$, and consistent with no cross-correlation with sources within 95% errors for $n_s >~ 10^{-5}$ Mpc$^{-3}$. On the other hand, with 1000 events above $5.5 \times 10^{19}$ eV in the whole sky, next generation experiments can reveal auto-correlation with more than 99% probability even for $n_s
