Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The calculation and use of molecular hydrogen optical depth templates to quickly identify and model molecular hydrogen absorption features longward of the Lyman edge at 912 Angstroms are described. Such features are commonly encountered in spectra obtained by the Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer and also in spectra obtained by the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph, albeit less commonly. Individual templates are calculated containing all the Lyman and Werner transitions originating from a single rotational state (J'') of the 0th vibrational level (v'') of the ground electronic state. Templates are provided with 0.01 Angstrom sampling for doppler parameters ranging from 2 <= b <= 20 km s^-1 and rotational states 0 <= J'' <= 15. Optical depth templates for excited vibrational states are also available for select doppler parameters. Each template is calculated for a fiducial column density of log[N(cm^-2)] = 21 and may be scaled to any column less than this value without loss of accuracy. These templates will facilitate the determination of the distribution of molecular hydrogen column density as a function of rotational level. The use of these templates will free the user from the computationally intensive task of calculating profiles for a large number of lines and allow concentration on line profile or curve-of-growth fitting to determine column densities and doppler parameters. The templates may be downloaded freely from http://www.pha.jhu.edu/~stephan/h2ools2.html

description: Using data from the 2010 Taste of Place survey conducted in Vermont and three metropolitan areas in the northeast United States, this study examines consumer willingness to pay (WTP), estimates price elasticity, and calculates the optimal premium rates for selected credence food attributes. The empirical results indicate that respondents’ WTP varies significantly across attributes and is closely associated with certain demographic factors. The estimated optimal premium rates and estimation procedures presented in this paper can help producers and retailers identify the optimal premium rates for each attribute in association with geographical or socioeconomic segments of consumers.

description: Demand elasticities at the table cut level are computed from a Mexican survey of household incomes and weekly expenditures, which is a stratified sample. A censored demand system is estimated incorporating stratification variables and it results in unbiased parameter and elasticity estimates, which can be interpreted as estimates of all Mexican meat-consuming households. Their standard errors are rigorously approximated by bootstrapping. Several indicators of heterogeneous meat-cut demands are found. Volumes traded differ among the table cuts of meats; the probability of buying a particular meat cut changes across meat cuts and geographical regions; and cases of substitutability and complementarity are identified within and across meat categories.

description: We use results of a consumer taste test conducted in Portland, Oregon, and choice-based conjoint analysis to examine consumer attitudes about grass-fed beef compared to conventional grain-fed: taste preferences, willingness to pay, and willingness to buy frozen meat in bulk. We consider the effect of demographic, attitudinal, and shopping location characteristics of consumers. A baseline, uninformed consumer will pay $0.90-$0.94/pound more for grass-fed ground beef; knowledge about production and nutritional factors increases the premium. A majority of participants would buy in bulk if they knew a producer or a friend referred them; 72% will buy frozen beef.

description: Los biocombustibles representan en la actualidad una fuente potencial de energía renovable, siendo una alternativa en apariencia viable para sustituir los combustibles fósiles. No obstante, sólo algunos de los actuales programas de biocombustibles son viables, y la mayoría implica altos costos sociales e irónica-mente ambientales, esto a pesar de que al llevar el prefijo “bio” se tiende a pensar que no tienen consecuencias nocivas sobre el medio ambiente. Biocombustible es el término con el cual se denomi-na a cualquier tipo de combustible que derive de la biomasa (nombre dado a cualquier materia orgánica de origen reciente que haya derivado de animales y vegetales como resultado de un proceso de conversión fotosintético. Partiendo de lo anterior se comprende que los combustibles de origen biológico pueden sustituir parte del consumo de combustibles fósiles tradicionales, como el petróleo o el carbón. Los biocombustibles más usados y desarrollados son el bioetanol y el biodiesel.

description: “Farm to school” and “farm to cafeteria” programs have proliferated around the United States. In 2008, Maryland passed the Jane Lawton Act, an unfunded program encouraging schools to serve Maryland produced food in schools. Like many other states, Maryland is seeking new markets, such as educational institutions, to enhance the viability of small and medium farms. However, school lunches are subject to numerous constraints, including regulations and budget concerns. Distribution channels for local food sales are not well developed. Thus the success of local food usage in Maryland schools program is not certain. Using primary quantitative and qualitative data collected by the research team, this paper identifies scale and socioeconomic barriers to the use of local food in schools. We posit that policy support and increased involvement by extension would enhance the likelihood of long term success of serving local food in schools.

description: Owing to its history and challenging circumstances, social networks community in Ukraine is a very interesting polygon for the study of communications in the constantly changing environment, especially in the political discourse. This unique environment requires three dimensions to ascertain the political position of its participant. But 2019 presidential elections made this object even more spectacular. The winner of elections comedian Volodymyr Zelenskyi reached 73% of votes without any issue ownership, with empty agenda, and this influenced the electoral content of social networks and their authors behavior. We saw, that the issue ownership by other candidates succeeds in making their issues more salient in social networks. But the new phenomena, the non-agenda ownership, overcome any ideological influence, especially under the conditions of punishment mechanism applied to old politicians. Analyzing social media content and users behavior in the period between two rounds of elections, we found considerable overlaps between this campaign and the 2016 Trump campaign. We approved the widespread of filter bubbles, negative campaign messages, fake news and conspiracy theories. Active and powerful core of Ukrainian Facebook that was responsible for the Revolution of dignity now became less significant and even turns into the huge filter bubble of active people. We also proved that manipulations and fake news in the environment of private groups may be as much powerful as in a case of classical communication based around the opinion leaders.

description: Proton capture by 17F plays an important role in the synthesis of nuclei in nova explosions. A revised rate for this reaction, based on a measurement of the 1H(17F,p)17F excitation function using a radioactive 17F beam at ORNL's Holifield Radioactive Ion Beam Facility, is used to calculate the nucleosynthesis in nova outbursts on the surfaces of 1.25 and 1.35 solar mass ONeMg white dwarfs and a 1.00 solar mass CO white dwarf. We find that the new 17F(p,gamma)18Ne reaction rate changes the abundances of some nuclides (e.g., 17O) synthesized in the hottest zones of an explosion on a 1.35 solar mass white dwarf by more than a factor of 10,000 compared to calculations using some previous estimates for this reaction rate, and by more than a factor of 3 when the entire exploding envelope is considered. In a 1.25 solar mass white dwarf nova explosion, this new rate changes the abundances of some nuclides synthesized in the hottest zones by more than a factor of 600, and by more than a factor of 2 when the entire exploding envelope is considered. Calculations for the 1.00 solar mass white dwarf nova show that this new rate changes the abundance of 18Ne by 21%, but has negligible effect on all other nuclides. Comparison of model predictions with observations is also discussed.

Critical phenomena at perfect and non-perfect surfaces

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In the past perfect surfaces have been shown to yield a local critical behaviour that differs from the bulk critical behaviour. On the other hand surface defects, whether they are of natural origin or created artificially, are known to modify local quantities. It is therefore important to clarify whether these defects are relevant or irrelevant for the surface critical behaviour. The purpose of this review is two-fold. In the first part we summarise some of the important results on surface criticality at perfect surfaces. Special attention is thereby paid to new developments as for example the study of surface critical behaviour in systems with competing interactions or of surface critical dynamics. In the second part the effect of surface defects (presence of edges, steps, quenched randomness, lines of adatoms, regular geometric patterns) on local critical behaviour in semi-infinite systems and in thin films is discussed in detail. Whereas most of the defects commonly encountered are shown to be irrelevant, some notable exceptions are highlighted. It is shown furthermore that under certain circumstances non-universal local critical behaviour may be observed at surfaces.

description: We live and cooperate in networks. However, links in networks only allow for pairwise interactions, thus making the framework suitable for dyadic games, but not for games that are played in groups of more than two players. Here, we study the evolutionary dynamics of a public goods game in social systems with higher-order interactions. First, we show that the game on uniform hypergraphs corresponds to the replicator dynamics in the well-mixed limit, providing a formal theoretical foundation to study cooperation in networked groups. Secondly, we unveil how the presence of hubs and the coexistence of interactions in groups of different sizes affects the evolution of cooperation. Finally, we apply the proposed framework to extract the actual dependence of the synergy factor on the size of a group from real-world collaboration data in science and technology. Our work provides a way to implement informed actions to boost cooperation in social groups.

Atualmente o setor tem apresentado um considerável crescimento devido ao aumento de pequenos varejos espalhados por todo o brasil, tornando trabalhoso para as indústrias atende-los diretamente . Introduzido pelos imigrantes europeus, mais especificamente os portugueses na década de 50, o setor atacadista /distribuidor fortaleu-se na década de 90, passando por três fases distintas em relação às vendas. A primeira corresponde ao período de 1991 a 1996, época em que a atividade cresceu acentuadamente, cerca de 41%, reagindo positivamente a transição e fortalecimento da moeda nacional; a segunda foi de 1996 a 2001, marcada pela estabilidade, já a terceira, de 2002 a 2004, evidencia-se pela volta de crescimento de 31,4%. Este trabalho refere-se a uma análise de eficiência produtiva do setor atacadista /distribuidor, escolhendo-se uma amostra formada pelas 50 maiores empresas do setor, em faturamento. Os estudos mostraram que o nível de ineficiência é baixo, em média 65,8%, o que indica que há muito a ser feito para melhorar o desempenho das empresas avaliadas. Altos níveis de ineficiência significam desperdícios de recursos, que são repassados aos preços dos produtos, encarecendo-os.

description: The large-distance dynamics in quarkonium systems is investigated, in the large N limit, through the saturation of Wilson loop averages by minimal surfaces. Using a representation for the quark propagator in the presence of the external gluon field based on the use of path-ordered phase factors, a covariant three-dimensional bound state equation of the Breit-Salpeter type is derived, in which the interaction potentials are provided by the energy-momentum vector of the straight segment joining the quark to the antiquark and carrying a constant linear energy density, equal to the string tension. The interaction potentials are confining and reduce to the linear vector potential in the static case and receive, for moving quarks, contributions from the moments of inertia of the straight segment. The self-energy parts of the quark propagators induce spontaneous breakdown of chiral symmetry with a mechanism identical to that of the exchange of one Coulomb-gluon. The nonrelativistic and ultrarelativistic properties of the bound state spectrum are studied.

EMT manifests as the dedifferentiation of epithelial cells into mesenchymal cells, and is typified by loss of E-cadherin and cytokeratin and gain of TWIST, N-cadherin and vimentin expression. While EMT is well-characterised in in vitro models, classical morphological EMT evidence (i.e. morphological dedifferentiation/sarcomatoid change) is rare in primary tumours. mRNA translation is a highly regulated process which has been linked to EMT in cell-based studies but not in primary tumours. This project aims to investigate whether I can find evidence of EMT and of translational dysregulation in EMT in primary lung adenocarcinoma. To answer these questions, we applied histological techniques such as immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridisation methods to quantify markers of EMT and translational control and perform statistical analysis to 942 human primary lung adenocarcinoma cases to evaluate association of EMT with tumour growth pattern, physio-pathological factors and translation dysregulation. I have shown that partial EMT state is detected in all tumour growth patterns but there is an association between partial EMT and primary solid lung adenocarcinoma. EMT can be variable within whole tumour section. EMT markers are strongly associated with physio-pathological measures of invasiveness namely lymph nodes metastasis. Furthermore, there are significant associations between EMT markers and some translation factors, particularly with the phosphorylation of eukaryotic initiation factor (eIF) 4E and the α subunit of eIF2. These data suggest that partial EMT is related to solid tumour growth pattern, and that alterations in the translation initiation machinery may play a role in activating invasive and metastatic program simultaneously in human primary lung adenocarcinoma.

description: David Hilbert proved that a non-negative real quartic form f(x,y,z) is the sum of three squares of quadratic forms. We give a new proof which shows that if the complex plane curve Q defined by f is smooth, then f has exactly 8 such representations, up to equivalence. They correspond to those real 2-torsion points of the Jacobian of Q which are not represented by a conjugation-invariant divisor on Q.

description: The notochord is a conserved axial structure that in vertebrates serves as a hydrostatic scaffold for embryonic axis elongation and, later on, for proper spine assembly. It consists of a core of large fluid-filled vacuolated cells surrounded by an epithelial sheath that is encased in extracellular matrix. During morphogenesis, the vacuolated cells inflate their vacuole and arrange in a stereotypical staircase pattern. We investigated the origin of this pattern and found that it can be achieved purely by simple physical principles. We are able to model the arrangement of vacuolated cells within the zebrafish notochord using a physical model composed of silicone tubes and water-absorbing polymer beads. The biological structure and the physical model can be accurately described by the theory developed for the packing of spheres and foams in cylinders. Our experiments with physical models and numerical simulations generated several predictions on key features of notochord organization that we documented and tested experimentally in zebrafish. Altogether, our data reveal that the organization of the vertebrate notochord is governed by the density of the osmotically swelling vacuolated cells and the aspect ratio of the notochord rod. We therefore conclude that self-organization underlies morphogenesis of the vertebrate notochord. This article is part of the discussion meeting issue on ‘Mechanics of development’.

description: Recent X-ray observations have revealed a universal temperature profile of the intracluster gas of non-cooling flow clusters which is flat for r \le 0.2 r_{180}. Numerical simulations, however, obtain a steeper temperature profile in the inner region. We study the effect of thermal conduction on the intracluster gas in non-cooling flow clusters in light of these observations, using the steep temperature profiles obtained by authors of numerical simulations. We find that given 10^{10} yr for the intracluster gas to evolve, thermal conduction should be suppressed from the classical value by a factor \sim 10^{-3} in order to explain the observations.

description: The demonstration of an optical fiber based probe for efficiently exciting the waveguide modes of high-index contrast planar photonic crystal (PC) slabs is presented. Utilizing the dispersion of the PC, fiber taper waveguides formed from standard silica single-mode optical fibers are used to evanescently couple light into the guided modes of a patterned silicon membrane. A coupling efficiency of approximately 95% is obtained between the fiber taper and a PC waveguide mode suitably designed for integration with a previously studied ultra-small mode volume high-Q PC resonant cavity [1]. The micron-scale lateral extent and dispersion of the fiber taper is also used as a near-field spatial and spectral probe to study the profile and dispersion of PC waveguide modes. The mode selectivity of this wafer-scale probing technique, together with its high efficiency, suggests that it will be useful in future quantum and non-linear optics experiments employing planar PCs.

description: A eficiência empresarial tem se tornado um importante instrumento para o sucesso empresarial. A eficiência da industria alimentícia está intimamente relacionada com a adoção de tecnologia, que pode proporcionar aumento de produtividade, aumentar a escala de produção e como conseqüência reduzir os custos. Nesta perspectiva, o trabalho teve por objetivo avaliar a eficiência produtiva de empresas do setor frigorífico e laticínios considerando a utilização do capital investido (ativo total das empresas, valor declarado no balanço patrimonial), o numero de funcionários e a receita liquida obtida. Para tanto, foi utilizado para medir a eficiência produtiva, o método de programação matemática Data Envelopment Analysis – DEA. Os níveis de eficiência técnica e de escala estimados neste trabalho para as empresas do setor frigorífico, respectivamente de 70,3 e 64,5% são considerados baixos, indicando que as empresas analisadas estão superdimensionadas em termos de ativos e número de funcionários devendo fazer ajustamentos ou do lado dos insumos ou do lado da receita. Para as empresas analisadas do setor de laticínios os resultados foram superiores, respectivamente, 82,5 e 85,8% para eficiência técnica e de escala. Níveis de ineficiência iguais aos obtidos aqui para o setor frigorífico mais do que para o setor de laticínios forçam para baixo o preço da matéria prima e para cima o preço dos produtos no varejo e para exportações. Estas indústrias necessitam estar atentas aos fatores determinantes da ineficiência que lhes é atribuída procurando ajustar-se. Contudo, o monitoramento da eficiência deverá ser constante como forma de se avaliar o progresso obtido.

description: We report near simultaneous imaging using LMIRCam on the LBTI of the quadruply imaged lensed quasar HS 0810+2554 at wavelengths of 2.16, 3.7 and $4.78~μ$m with a Full Width Half Max (FWHM) spatial resolution of $0^{\prime\prime}\!\!.13$, $0^{\prime\prime}\!\!.12$ and $0^{\prime\prime}\!\!.15$ respectively, comparable to HST optical imaging. In the $\rm{z} = 1.5$ rest frame of the quasar, the observed wavelengths correspond to 0.86, 1.48, and $1.91~μ$m respectively. The two brightest images in the quad, A and B, are clearly resolved from each other with a separation of $0.187^{\prime\prime}$. The flux ratio of these two images (A/B) trends from 1.79 to 1.23 from 2.16 to $4.78~μ$m. The trend in flux ratio is consistent with the $2.16~μ$m flux originating from a small sized accretion disk in the quasar that experiences only microlensing. The excess flux above the contribution from the accretion disk at the two longer wavelengths originates from a larger sized region that experiences no microlensing. A simple model employing multiplicative factors for image B due to stellar microlensing $(m)$ and sub-structure millilensing $(M)$ is presented. The result is tightly constrained to the product $m\times M=1.79$. Given the observational errors, the 60\% probability contour for this product stretches from $m= 2.6$, $M = 0.69$ to $m= 1.79$, $M = 1.0$, where the later is consistent with microlensing only.

description: We present Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) observations of the Gigamaser galaxy TXS2226-184 at 1.3 and 5 GHz. These observations reveal the parsec-scale radio structure of this Seyfert galaxy with exceptionally luminous water maser emission. The source is found to be extended on scales of 10-100 pc with some embedded compact sources, but has no readily identifiable flat-spectrum active nucleus. This morphology resembles that of the nearby compact starburst galaxy Mrk 273, although no significant FIR emission has been detected to support the starburst scenario. The narrow (125 km/s) HI absorption in TXS2226-184 discovered with the VLA is also detected with the VLBA. This HI absorption is distributed across the extended emission, probably co-spatial with the water masers. The broad (420 km/s) line seen by the VLA is not detected, suggesting that it arises from more extended gas which is absorbing the emission beyond the central tens of parsecs.

description: We construct Bridgeland stability conditions on the derived category of smooth quasi-projective Deligne-Mumford surfaces whose coarse moduli spaces have ADE singularities. This unifies the construction for smooth surfaces and Bridgeland's work on Kleinian singularities. The construction hinges on an orbifold version of the Bogomolov-Gieseker inequality for slope semistable sheaves on the stack, and makes use of the Toën-Hirzebruch-Riemann-Roch theorem.
