description: The optical afterglow spectrum of GRB050401 (at z=2.8992+/-0.0004) shows the presence of a DLA, with log(nHI)=22.6+/-0.3. This is the highest column density ever observed in a DLA, and is about five times larger than the strongest DLA detected so far in any QSO spectrum. From the optical spectrum, we also find a very large Zn column density, allowing us to infer an abundance of [Zn/H]=-1.0+/-0.4. These large columns are supported by the X-ray spectrum from Swift-XRT which shows a column density (in excess of Galactic) of log(nH)=22.21^{+0.06}_{-0.08} assuming solar abundances (at z=2.9). The comparison of this X-ray column density, which is dominated by absorption due to alpha-chain elements, and the HI column density derived from the Ly-alpha absorption line, allows us to derive a metallicity for the absorbing matter of [alpha/H]=-0.4+/-0.3. The optical spectrum is reddened and can be well reproduced with a power-law with SMC extinction, where A_V=0.62+/-0.06. But the total optical extinction can also be constrained in a way which is independent of the shape of the extinction curve: from the optical-to-X-ray spectral energy distribution we find, 0.5

description: Traditionally, agricultural forecasts, whether for the coming year or several years into the future, have been based on assumptions of normal weather and trend crop yields. That weather is seldom normal and that yields seldom fit trends are well recognized. However, relatively little attention has been given to projecting crop yields stochastically even though computer capacity and software programs are available to do so. One reason is that the task is more challenging than to assign standard deviations to various crop yields and simulate normal distributions using random number generators. For one, deviations of crop yields from trends may be correlated especially if the locations of the crops overlap such as is the case with US corn and soybeans. To model US agriculture, those correlations must be taken into account. Secondly, deviations of crop yields from trends may not be normal. Typically, crop yield deviations are skewed to the low side, with yields lower in poor crop years than higher in favorable crop years. This paper demonstrates how computer software programs can be used to generate probability distributions of yields taking into consideration correlations among crops and non-normality in distributions. Included are thirteen crops and crop aggregates with global coverage of coarse grains, wheat and oilseeds. Probability forecasts are made for 2006 and illustrated for US corn, soybeans and wheat.

Spinning strings in AdS_5 x S^5: one-loop correction to energy in SL(2) sector

description: We consider a circular string with spin $S$ in $AdS_5$ wrapped around big circle of $S^5$ and carrying also momentum $J$. The corresponding N=4 SYM operator belongs to the SL(2) sector, i.e. has tr$(D^S Z^J)+...$ structure. The leading large $J$ term in its 1-loop anomalous dimension can be computed using Bethe ansatz for the SL(2) spin chain and was previously found to match the leading term in the classical string energy. The string solution is stable at large $J$, and the Lagrangian for string fluctuations has constant coefficients, so that the 1-loop string correction to the energy $E_1$ is given simply by the sum of characteristic frequencies. Curiously, we find that the leading term in the zero-mode part of $E_1$ is the same as a 1/J correction to the one-loop anomalous dimension on the gauge theory (spin chain) side that was found in hep-th/0410105. However, the contribution of non-zero string modes does not vanish. We also discuss the ``fast string'' expansion of the classical string action which coincides with the coherent state action of the SL(2) spin chain at the first order in $ł$, and extend this expansion to higher orders clarifying the role of the $S^5$ winding number.

description: This work proposes a method to identify and evaluate the links between the economic and environmental management of a farm, its income, and sustainable GDP. The approach is designed to link micro and macro economic aspects and is based on certain indicators, chosen from among those obtained from analysis of the farm accounts, suitable for representing socially desirable objectives. Three different types of farm accounts are employed. An MADM method of quantitative MCDM analysis was used to make a joint evaluation of various objective indicators in different types of farm management. The work only presents the most interesting result of the research, which was the method itself and does not include the results of a specific case study which was made. This method can be generally applied to connect macro and micro economic aspects and thus might be applicable to different contexts.

description: Farming and consumers` decisions are affected by markets globalizations, products differentiation, agricultural industrialization at the retail level and new organizational forms. The linkages among farmers emerge as a viable strategy to compete in this new context. Producers must develop skills to maintain market positioning and access to high value added niches. In Argentina, organic production has been an alternative for farmers to increase revenues, since the nineties, due to the major demand of developed countries and the price premiums. The objective of the paper is to investigate the extent to which Argentinian organic producers operate in an associated way and which the determinants of these linkages are. A count model regression is used to estimate the links among producers. The extent to which producers choose to operate in an associated way is mainly determined by the number of marketing channels used by the farmers, processing activities carried out, public support received, the scale of the farm and the kind of goods produced. This study may contribute to understand farmers` decisions about association. The issue is particularly relevant to policy makers in developing countries where associations are promoted due to the emerging role of the social capital in the rural development policies design.

description: We present an analysis of multi-wavelength observations of Monoceros R1 (Mon R1) complex (at d ~760 pc). An elongated filament (length ~14 pc, mass ~1465 Msun) is investigated in the complex, which is the most prominent structure in the Herschel column density map. An analysis of the FUGIN 12CO(1-0) and 13CO(1-0) line data confirms the existence of the filament traced in a velocity range of [-5, +1] km/s. The filament is found to host two previously known sites IC 446 and IC 447 at its opposite ends. A massive young stellar object (YSO) is embedded in IC 446, while IC 447 contains several massive B-type stars. The Herschel temperature map reveals the extended warm dust emission (at T_d ~ 15-21 K) toward both the ends of the filament. The Spitzer ratio map of 4.5 micron/3.6 micron emission suggests the presence of photo-dissociation regions and signature of outflow activity toward IC 446 and IC 447. Based on the photometric analysis of point-like sources, clusters of YSOs are traced mainly toward the filament ends. The filament is found to be thermally supercritical showing its tendency of fragmentation, which is further confirmed by the detection of a periodic oscillatory pattern (having a period of ~3-4 pc) in the velocity profile of 13CO. Our outcomes suggest that the fragments distributed toward the filament ends have rapidly collapsed, and had formed the known star-forming sites. Overall, the elongated filament in Mon R1 is a promising sample of the "end-dominated collapse" scenario, as discussed by Pon et al. (2011, 2012).

MHD simulations of radiative jets from young stellar objects: Halpha emission
Creators: name: De Colle, Fabio

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2005
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We study the H$α$ emission from jets using two-dimensional axisymmetrical simulations. We compare the emission obtained from hydrodynamic (HD) simulations with that obtained from magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) simulations. The magnetic field is supposed to be present in the jet only, and with a toroidal configuration. The simulations have time-dependent ejection velocities and different intensities for the initial magnetic field. The results show an increase in the H$α$ emission along the jet for the magnetized cases with respect to the HD case. The increase in the emission is due to a better collimation of the jet in the MHD case, and to a small increase in the shock velocity. These results could have important implications for the interpretation of the observations of jets from young stellar objects.

description: An understanding of the nature and extent of households' dependence on NTFPs can facilitate the policy decisions for development and welfare of tribals vis-a-vis conservation and management of forest wealth. The present study provides some insight regarding the forest dependence of Jenukurubas, a sect of primitive tribe, living in and around the protected forests of Heggada Devanakote region in South India. The analysis of socio-economic characteristics of households using Logit regression shows that wage employment, land ownership and income from agriculture lowered the probability that a household would go for NTFPs collection. Joint family system and large family size would increase the probability of collection of NTFPs by tribal households. The study also establishes the fact that, it is primarily out of sheer necessity, the tribals venture for NTFPs collection and not for their commercial gains. The extent of dependence on NTFPs was very strong and its sudden withdrawal would severely affect the livelihood of the stakeholders, particularly, the landless tribals. Therefore, successful rehabilitation requires phased withdrawal of NTFPs by providing alternative sources of income and employment opportunities.

description: We consider the distribution of local supermassive black hole Eddington ratios and accretion rates, accounting for the dependence of radiative efficiency and bolometric corrections on the accretion rate. We find that black hole mass growth, both of the integrated mass density and the masses of most individual objects, must be dominated by an earlier, radiatively efficient, high accretion rate stage, and not by the radiatively inefficient low accretion rate phase in which most local supermassive black holes are currently observed. This conclusion is particularly true of supermassive black holes in elliptical host galaxies, as expected if they have undergone merger activity in the past which would fuel quasar activity and rapid growth. We discuss models of the time evolution of accretion rates and show that they all predict significant mass growth in a prior radiatively efficient state. The only way to avoid this conclusion is through careful fine-tuning of the accretion/quasar timescale to a value that is inconsistent with observations. Our results agree with a wide range of observational inferences drawn from the quasar luminosity function and X-ray background synthesis models, but our approach has the virtue of being independent of the modeling of source populations. Models in which black holes spend the great majority of their time in low accretion rate phases are thus completely consistent both with observations implying mass gain in relatively short, high accretion rate phases and with the local distribution of accretion rates.

description: Focusing on personal information disclosure, we apply control theory and the notion of the Order of Control to study people's understanding of the implications of information disclosure and their tendency to consent to disclosure. We analyzed the relevant literature and conducted a preliminary online study (N = 220) to explore the relationship between the Order of Control and perceived control over personal information. Our analysis of existing research suggests that the notion of the Order of Control can help us understand people's decisions regarding the control over their personal information. We discuss limitations and future directions for research regarding the application of the idea of the Order of Control to online privacy.

description: 自動採譜とは、コンピュータによって楽器演奏を楽譜や MIDI データなどと言っ たフォーマットに変換することを指す。自動採譜は、音楽学習や演奏支援などの 分野において需要があり、音楽情報処理において重要な課題の一つである。数あ る楽器のなかでもギターは、ポピュラー音楽で頻繁に使用され、また演奏人口も 多い。そのため、ギター演奏を対象とした自動採譜は、大きな需要があり、重要 な課題の 1 つである。 ギター演奏をリアルタイムで自動採譜する機材に、MIDI ギターが存在する。 MIDI ギターは、コンピュータを用いて音楽制作を行う際に、ギタリストが自分の 慣れた楽器を使ってデータ入力ができるといった点において有用であるが、弦の 振動をピックアップで取得する構造のため、ピッキングの取りこぼしなどが発生 し、MIDI キーボードに比べると入力される演奏情報の正確性に難がある。特に、 ファンクなどのジャンルのコードカッティングの演奏において、3 つの問題が頻繁 に発生する。それらの問題は、存在する音の欠落、存在しない音の採譜、連続す る短い音の採譜である。 そこで本研究では、MIDI ギターピックアップによる処理と非負値行列因子分解 (Non-Negative Matrix Farcrization) による音響信号処理を統合することによって、 3 つの問題点を解決し、採譜の高精度化を目指す。まず、第 3 章では、音響信号処 理のみによる自動採譜手法について検討する。MIDI ギターと同様の用途で使用可 能なようにリアルタイムでの採譜を視野に入れ、音響信号処理は随時的な処理 (オ ンライン・アルゴリズム) にて採譜する。しかし、本来の NMF はオンラインでは採譜することができない。そこで、予備演奏を用いることでオンラインにに採譜 できるように改良する。その手法では、単純な閾値処理により発音を検出するが、 演奏者のくせや倍音などの要因により閾値決定が難しい問題がある。そこで、新 たに予備演奏を加えニューラルネットワークを用いて弦ごとに閾値調整を行い、発 音検出を行えるように改良する。単純な閾値処理による採譜手法とニューラルネッ トワークを用いた発音検出手法で各々の手法で評価実験を行ったところ、単純な 閾値処理において様々な閾値を試して最も良かった結果とニューラルネットワー クを用いた発音検出手法の結果が同等のものとなった。次に、第 4 章では MIDI ギ ターと 3 章で提案した手法とをオンラインに統合する手法を述べる。MIDI ギター と NMF による音響信号処理手法で採譜の傾向に違いが見られたため、傾向を考 慮した統合により MIDI ギターの問題点である存在する音の欠落、存在しない音 の採譜、連続する短い音の採譜を解決する。統合にあたり、積による統合と和に よる統合、ニューラルネットワークによる統合の 3 種類を提案する。それらの手 法について評価実験したところ、提案手法が MIDI ギターよりも平均の再現率が 0.067、適合率が 0.402、F 値が 0.279 向上した。第 5 章にて、今後の課題や展望に ついて述べる。そして、第 6 章にて結論を述べる。

By performing neutrino and anti-neutrino interaction studies on the initial and final nucleus respectively, one can get information on the two branches involved in the double-beta decay process. The measurement of such reactions could help to further constrain double-beta decay predictions on the half-lives.

description: Throughout recent year food quality standards have become a ubiquitous phenomenon that nationally and globally influences agri-food markets. With equilibrium models commonly used in the quantitative analysis of market and trade effects, we review possible approaches to modeling standards existent in the literature, elaborate the reasoning behind them and discuss their suitability to reflect "real world" situations. While the modeling approaches identified may respectively depict a specific situation, they may not be appropriate in others. That is they capture certain effects of standards only. With increasing ability to account for the various effects of standards, the modeling approaches become more complex and the data requirements increase.

description: This paper mainly investigates the classic resonant cavity problem with anisotropic and nonconductive media, which is a linear vector Maxwell's eigenvalue problem. The finite element method based on edge element of the lowest-order and standard linear element is used to solve this type of 3-D closed cavity problem. In order to eliminate spurious zero modes in the numerical simulation, the divergence-free condition supported by Gauss' law is enforced in a weak sense. After the finite element discretization, the generalized eigenvalue problem with a linear constraint condition needs to be solved. Penalty method, augmented method and projection method are applied to solve this difficult problem in numerical linear algebra. The advantages and disadvantages of these three computational methods are also given in this paper. Furthermore, we prove that the augmented method is free of spurious modes as long as the anisotropic material is not magnetic lossy. The projection method based on singular value decomposition technique can be used to solve the resonant cavity problem. Moreover, the projection method {cannot} introduce any spurious modes. At last, several numerical experiments are carried out to verify our theoretical results.

description: Rural California WIC participants tend to show a slightly lower propensity to redeem WIC-issued food instruments than urban California WIC participants do. In addition to possible food availability problems associated with rural locations, the presence or absence of cultural factors, especially foreign language backgrounds, may also help to explain this difference. Limited English-speaking WIC participants seem somewhat more likely to redeem their food vouchers than primarily English-speaking WIC participants do. This condition seems to be as prevalent in rural California areas as it is for the urban-dominated California WIC population as a whole. Nevertheless, WIC food instrument redemption rate analysis, together with geographic information systems, might be helpful in pinpointing areas around the country where physical food availability problems might exist.

description: We consider a scenario where the small satellites of Pluto and Charon grew within a disk of debris from an impact between Charon and a trans-Neptunian Object (TNO). After Charon's orbital motion boosts the debris into a disk-like structure, rapid orbital damping of meter-size or smaller objects is essential to prevent the subsequent re-accretion or dynamical ejection by the binary. From analytical estimates and simulations of disk evolution, we estimate an impactor radius of 30-100 km; smaller (larger) radii apply to an oblique (direct) impact. Although collisions between large TNOs and Charon are unlikely today, they were relatively common within the first 0.1-1 Gyr of the solar system. Compared to models where the small satellites agglomerate in the debris left over by the giant impact that produced the Pluto-Charon binary planet, satellite formation from a later impact on Charon avoids the destabilizing resonances that sweep past the satellites during the early orbital expansion of the binary.

Pirbhai’s blessings : a narrative quest towards a pedagogy of virtues
Creators: name: Vellani, Al-Munir
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Metaphors of "journey" or "rootlessness" are often used to describe movements of people across cultural and social spaces, and physical geographies. Such journeys whilst revealing stories that speak of a people's voice, are rarely seen as embodying an implicit quest for a narrative unity with a teleology and pedagogy, sui generis. This inquiry focuses upon the narrative journey of one such community of "travellers," the Indian Ismailis, who left their timeworn homeland in the North Western region of the Indian Subcontinent at the end of the nineteenth century and travelled to colonial Eastern Africa to make the land their new home. In the early 1970' s , however, political unrest in this now "postcolonial" region prompted the succeeding generations of the earlier pioneers to once again uproot their African home and undertake yet another journey, this time towards the so-called modern societies of Canada and other Western countries. This historical and often turbulent intergenerational voyage of over a hundred years is also a continuous journey of a modern selfhood in aporia as it experiences and traverses the various institutions, practices, and milieus of modernity, while attempting to engage with or update its own biographical narrative. Using the important and primary genre of shared conversations implicit within a narrative and hermeneutical inquiry, this project acts as witness and delves into the narratives of a diverse group of individuals from four generations of these travellers. It is proposed that in these intergenerational conversations and stories lie experiences and expressions of praxis that also reveal or point towards moral enablements of practices and virtues, and arguments that make present a "living tradition." This tradition, it is felt, can act as a significant and inescapable horizon - a robust historical consciousness - from which a modern selfhood in aporia can once again begin to update its own narrative as part of a continuous story of a community with a teleology, and which the current and future generations of these "travellers" can recognize, argue, update, and ultimately possess as they venture purposefully into the community's shared future.

This result is obtained by using the Coulomb gas representation of the fermionic MTM correlators in the bipolar coordinate system.

description: Astrometric detection involves a precise measurement of stellar positions, and is widely regarded as the leading concept presently ready to find earth-mass planets in temperate orbits around nearby sun-like stars. The TOLIMAN space telescope[39] is a low-cost, agile mission concept dedicated to narrow-angle astrometric monitoring of bright binary stars. In particular the mission will be optimised to search for habitable-zone planets around Alpha Centauri AB. If the separation between these two stars can be monitored with sufficient precision, tiny perturbations due to the gravitational tug from an unseen planet can be witnessed and, given the configuration of the optical system, the scale of the shifts in the image plane are about one millionth of a pixel. Image registration at this level of precision has never been demonstrated (to our knowledge) in any setting within science. In this paper we demonstrate that a Deep Convolutional Auto-Encoder is able to retrieve such a signal from simplified simulations of the TOLIMAN data and we present the full experimental pipeline to recreate out experiments from the simulations to the signal analysis. In future works, all the more realistic sources of noise and systematic effects present in the real-world system will be injected into the simulations.

description: The 12C14N/12C15N and 12C14N/13C14N isotopic ratios have been determined in comets C/1995 O1 (Hale-Bopp), C/2001 Q4 (NEAT) and C/2003 K4 (LINEAR) at heliocentric distances of, respectively, 2.7, 3.7 and 2.6 AU. These ratios have also been measured at r ~ 1 AU. No significant differences were found between all determinations, nor with the value obtained for other comets. If confirmed, the discrepancy between the nitrogen isotopic ratios from optical and millimeter measurements on CN and HCN would rule out HCN as a major parent of the cometary CN radicals.

description: Data assimilation in subsurface flow systems is challenging due to the large number of flow simulations often required, and by the need to preserve geological realism in the calibrated (posterior) models. In this work we present a deep-learning-based surrogate model for two-phase flow in 3D subsurface formations. This surrogate model, a 3D recurrent residual U-Net (referred to as recurrent R-U-Net), consists of 3D convolutional and recurrent (convLSTM) neural networks, designed to capture the spatial-temporal information associated with dynamic subsurface flow systems. A CNN-PCA procedure (convolutional neural network post-processing of principal component analysis) for parameterizing complex 3D geomodels is also described. This approach represents a simplified version of a recently developed supervised-learning-based CNN-PCA framework. The recurrent R-U-Net is trained on the simulated dynamic 3D saturation and pressure fields for a set of random `channelized' geomodels (generated using 3D CNN-PCA). Detailed flow predictions demonstrate that the recurrent R-U-Net surrogate model provides accurate results for dynamic states and well responses for new geological realizations, along with accurate flow statistics for an ensemble of new geomodels. The 3D recurrent R-U-Net and CNN-PCA procedures are then used in combination for a challenging data assimilation problem involving a channelized system. Two different algorithms, namely rejection sampling and an ensemble-based method, are successfully applied. The overall methodology described in this paper may enable the assessment and refinement of data assimilation procedures for a range of realistic and challenging subsurface flow problems.

description: The Milky Way contains several distinct old stellar components that provide a fossil record of its formation. We can understand their spatial distribution and kinematics in a hierarchical formation scenario by associating the proto-galactic fragments envisaged by Searle and Zinn (1978) with the rare peaks able to cool gas in the cold dark matter density field collapsing at redshift z>10. We use hierarchical structure formation simulations to explore the kinematics and spatial distribution of these early star-forming structures in galaxy haloes today. Most of the proto-galaxies rapidly merge, their stellar contents and dark matter becoming smoothly distributed and forming the inner Galactic halo. The metal-poor globular clusters and old halo stars become tracers of this early evolutionary phase, centrally biased and naturally reproducing the observed steep fall off with radius. The most outlying peaks fall in late and survive to the present day as satellite galaxies. The observed radial velocity dispersion profile and the local radial velocity anisotropy of Milky Way halo stars are successfully reproduced in this model. If this epoch of structure formation coincides with a suppression of further cooling into lower sigma peaks then we can reproduce the rarity, kinematics and spatial distribution of satellite galaxies as suggested by Bullock et al. (2000). Reionisation at z=12+/-2 provides a natural solution to the missing satellites problem. Measuring the distribution of globular clusters and halo light on scales from galaxies to clusters could be used to constrain global versus local reionisation models. If reionisation occurs contemporary, our model predicts a constant frequency of blue globulars relative to the host halo mass, except for dwarf galaxies where the average relative frequencies become smaller.

description: 現代のポピュラー音楽におけるアマチュアバンドの多くは, ヴォーカル・ギター・ ベース・キーボード・ドラムによって構成される. このようなアマチュアバンド がオリジナル楽曲を作成する場合, メンバーの一人が全パートを作成することは稀 である. 多くの場合, メンバーの一人がギターなどを利用し弾き語り楽曲を作成す る. そして, その弾き語り楽曲をメンバー全員で聴き, メンバーがそれぞれの担当 パートを作成する. しかし, こういった作業は豊富な知識と高い技術を必要とする ため, 初中級者をメンバーに含むアマチュアバンドには難易度が高い. よって, ギ ターによる弾き語り演奏をバンド演奏用譜面に自動編曲できれば, アマチュアバ ンドにとって有用であると考えられる. しかし, 従来のギターを利用した自動編曲 に関する多くの研究は, コード進行などを入力し自動編曲を行う研究であるため, ユーザによるギター弾き語り演奏を入力しバンド演奏用譜面に自動編曲するもの はなかった. 本研究では,ギター弾き語り演奏用譜面とバンド演奏用譜面の関係に着目し事例 ベース推論を用いることで, ユーザによるギター弾き語り演奏をバンド演奏用譜面 に自動的に編曲するシステムを実現する. 同一楽曲のギター弾き語り演奏用譜面 とバンド演奏用譜面の関係は, ユーザが演奏したギター弾き語り譜面とそれを編曲 した楽曲の関係に共通している. あらかじめ同一楽曲のギター弾き語り演奏用譜 面とバンド演奏用譜面の組からなるデータベースを構築する. そして, ユーザによ る演奏が入力されたときデータベース内から最も類似するギター弾き語り演奏用 譜面を事例探索する. その後, 類似するギター弾き語り演奏用譜面と対になるバンド演奏用譜面を修正することで自動編曲を行う. 実験では, 事例探索の妥当性とバンド譜面修正の妥当性の 2 点について検証した. 類似検索の妥当性においては, ユーザによる演奏の精度が大幅に低下しても事例探 索の精度は低下せず, 最も類似するギター弾き語り演奏用譜面をデータベースから 検索することが可能であることが確認された. また, バンド譜面修正についての妥 当性は, 本システムと本システムからリズム修正機能を削除したシステムの編曲結 果を比較し, リズム修正の妥当性を検証した. 同様に, 本システムと本システムか ら構成音修正機能を削除したシステムの編曲結果を比較し, 構成音修正の妥当性を 検証した. その結果, 構成音修正とリズム修正の両方に必要性が確認された.

description: We study the evolution of (phantom) dark energy universe by taking into account the higher-order string corrections to Einstein-Hilbert action with a fixed dilaton. While the presence of a cosmological constant gives stable de-Sitter fixed points in the cases of heterotic and bosonic strings, no stable de-Sitter solutions exist when a phantom fluid is present. We find that the universe can exhibit a Big Crunch singularity with a finite time for type II string, whereas it reaches a Big Rip singularity for heterotic and bosonic strings. Thus the fate of dark energy universe crucially depends upon the type of string theory under consideration.

description: Using the corepresentation of the quantum supergroup OSp_q(1/2) a general method for constructing noncommutative spaces covariant under its coaction is developed. In particular, a one-parameter family of covariant algebras, which may be interpreted as noncommutative superspheres, is constructed. It is observed that embedding of the supersphere in the OSp_q(1/2) algebra is possible. This realization admits infinitesimal characterization a la Koornwinder. A covariant oscillator realization of the supersphere is also presented.

description: We give a review of the current status of the X=M conjecture. Here X stands for the one-dimensional configuration sum and M for the corresponding fermionic formula. There are three main versions of this conjecture: the unrestricted, the classically restricted and the level-restricted version. We discuss all three versions and illustrate the methods of proof with many examples for type A_{n-1}^{(1)}. In particular, the combinatorial approach via crystal bases and rigged configurations is discussed. Each section ends with a conglomeration of open problems.

description: General properties of vacuum solutions of $f(R)$ gravity are obtained by the condition that the divergence of the Weyl tensor is zero and $f''\neq 0$. Specifically, a theorem states that the gradient of the curvature scalar, $\nabla R$, is an eigenvector of the Ricci tensor and, if it is time-like, the space-time is a Generalized Friedman-Robertson-Walker metric; in dimension four, it is Friedman-Robertson-Walker.

description: Wide-field searches for transiting extra-solar giant planets face the difficult challenge of separating true transit events from the numerous false positives caused by isolated or blended eclipsing binary systems. We describe here the investigation of GSC 01944-02289, a very promising candidate for a transiting brown dwarf detected by the Transatlantic Exoplanet Survey (TrES) network. The photometry and radial velocity observations suggested that the candidate was an object of substellar mass in orbit around an F star. However, careful analysis of the spectral line shapes revealed a pattern of variations consistent with the presence of another star whose motion produced the asymmetries observed in the spectral lines of the brightest star. Detailed simulations of blend models composed of an eclipsing binary plus a third star diluting the eclipses were compared with the observed light curve and used to derive the properties of the three components. Our photometric and spectroscopic observations are fully consistent with a blend model of a hierarchical triple system composed of an eclipsing binary with G0V and M3V components in orbit around a slightly evolved F5 dwarf. We believe that this investigation will be helpful to other groups pursuing wide-field transit searches as this type of false detection could be more common than true transiting planets, and difficult to identify.

description: We study the effects of motion for an Unruh-DeWitt detector, modeled as a two-level system, on the amount of coherence extracted, when it interacts with a massless scalar coherent field in 1+1 Minkowski spacetime. We observe that compared to a detector at rest, for certain values of the initial energy of the field and the interaction duration, the amount is larger for both a detector moving with a constant speed or uniform acceleration. This "swelling" of coherence, which becomes more intense for increasing values of velocity or acceleration, is mostly observed for short durations, when the energy of the field is larger compared to that of the detector, and for longer durations but smaller field energies. As a consequence, the rate at which coherence is lost, is sometimes slower for a moving detector than for a detector at rest.
