description: Bus Transport is the most preferred Public Transport System in many cities. A healthy and efficient public transit system is indispensable to reduce congestion, emissions, energy consumption, and car dependency in urban areas. Recently the passenger patronage for bus transport is on the decline. Reasons reported are increased travel time, low reliability and low frequency of services in urban fringe areas. Higher dependency on private modes for travel increases the congestion level. Regular monitoring of bus operation by the operators on daily and hourly basis in terms of duration, schedule adherence is essential, as these aspects have a greater influence on passenger ridership level. Large fleet operators especially the State Transport Undertakings (STUs) in India face difficulty in monitoring the operations and are in the situation of losing passenger ridership due to declining reliability. Vehicle Tracking and Control System (VTCS) is a cost effective way of monitoring fleet of vehicles and to manage their operations. Metropolitan Transport Corporation (STU bus operator in Chennai) operates buses fitted with GPS on a busy corridor (Tambaram to Broadway) in Chennai and the bus operation along this corridor has been taken for the study. Knowledge of vehicle position time wise precisely, loading/unloading details from automatic ticketing machine has enabled to evaluate the operations of buses along the study corridor with respect to passenger loading and adherence of schedule. Variation of headway deterioration along the study corridor was analysed stretch wise using data collected from vehicle tracking system for various service types. The reasons for deterioration and its impact on passenger patronage were studied.

description: For the $e^+ e^- \to e^+ e^- γ$ process at colliding beams, macroscopically large impact parameters give an essential contribution to the standard cross section. These impact parameters may be much larger than the transverse sizes of the colliding bunches. It means that the standard calculations have to be essentially modify. In the present paper such a beam-size or MD-effect is calculated for bremsstrahlung at B-factories PEP-II and KEKB using the list of nominal parameters from Review of Particle Physics (2002). We find out that this effect reduces beam losses due to bremsstrahlung by about 20%.

description: As it is defined in ATM 2000+ Strategy (Eurocontrol 2001), the mission of the Air Traffic Management (ATM) System is: “For all the phases of a flight, the ATM system should facilitate a safe, efficient, and expedite traffic flow, through the provision of adaptable ATM services that can be dimensioned in relation to the requirements of all the users and areas of the European air space. The ATM services should comply with the demand, be compatible, operate under uniform principles, respect the environment and satisfy the national security requirements.” The objective of this paper is to present a methodology designed to evaluate the status of the ATM system in terms of the relationship between the offered capacity and traffic demand, identifying weakness areas and proposing solutions. The first part of the methodology relates to the characterization and evaluation of the current system, while a second part proposes an approach to analyze the possible development limit. As part of the work, general criteria are established to define the framework in which the analysis and diagnostic methodology presented is placed. They are: the use of Air Traffic Control (ATC) sectors as analysis unit, the presence of network effects, the tactical focus, the relative character of the analysis, objectivity and a high level assessment that allows assumptions on the human and Communications, Navigation and Surveillance (CNS) elements, considered as the typical high density air traffic resources. The steps followed by the methodology start with the definition of indicators and metrics, like the nominal criticality or the nominal efficiency of a sector; scenario characterization where the necessary data is collected; network effects analysis to study the relations among the constitutive elements of the ATC system; diagnostic by means of the “System Status Diagram”; analytical study of the ATC system development limit; and finally, formulation of conclusions and proposal for improvement. 2 This methodology was employed by Aena (Spanish Airports Manager and Air Navigation Service Provider) and INECO (Spanish Transport Engineering Company) in the analysis of the Spanish ATM System in the frame of the Spanish airspace capacity sustainability program, although it could be applied elsewhere.

description: We present a quantitative study of the far-ultraviolet (FUV) and optical morphology in 32 nearby galaxies and estimate the ``morphological k-correction'' expected if these objects were observed unevolved at high redshift. Using the common indices of central concentration (C) and rotational asymmetry (A) to quantify morphology, we consider independently two phenomena that give rise to this k-correction. Bandshifting, the decrease in rest-frame wavelength of light observed through optical filters, is explored by measuring these indices in several passbands for each galaxy, and it is found to be the primary driver of changes in C and A. In general, the optical trend found for decreasing C and increasing A when going to shorter wavelengths extends to the FUV. However, the patchy nature of recent star-formation in late-type galaxies, which is accentuated in the FUV, results in poor quantitative correspondence between morphologies determined in the optical and FUV. We then artificially redshift our FUV images into the Hubble Deep Field (HDF) filters to simulate various cosmological distance effects such as surface brightness dimming and loss of spatial resolution. Hubble types of many galaxies in our sample are not readily identifiable at redshifts beyond z ~ 1, and the galaxies themselves are difficult to detect beyond z ~ 3. Only features of the highest surface brightness remain visible at cosmological distances. Our simulations suggest that k-corrections alone are indeed capable of producing the peculiar morphologies observed at high redshift.

description: The airport checkpoint security screening system is an important line of defense against the introduction of dangerous objects into the U.S. air transport system. Recently, there has been much interest in modeling these systems and to derive operating parameters which optimize performance. In general there are two performance measures of interest (i) the waiting time of the arriving entities, and (ii) the allocated screening resources and its utilization. Clearly, the traveling public would like a zero waiting time, while airports are limited both in terms of space and resource capital. The arrival and exit entity in the system are passengers. On arrival, passengers split into two sub-entities (i) bags or other carry-on items and (ii) passenger body and the two must rejoin prior to exit. There is a 1:M ratio between passengers and carry-on items with M≥0. The existing knowledge base related to the operating characteristics of ACSS processes is very limited. Almost all screening systems have a human interpretive component, as a result the screening behavior is highly variant and difficult to predict. This research studies the operating characteristics of the security screening process to develop proven relationships between inspection times and clearance rates. A descriptive model of the screening system, which identifies the design variables, operational parameters and performance measures, is defined. Screening data was collected from 18 U.S. airports (10 high volume, 5 medium volume, and 3 low volume). The data sets captured (i) passenger arrival times, (ii) X-ray inspection times, (iii) clearance decision, (iv) passenger physical inspection times, and (v) secondary carry-on item inspection times. An empirical analysis was used to generate a speed of inspection operating characteristic (SIOC) curve for each of the inspection processes. Mean inspection times are found to be much larger than what is frequently assumed in the literature. The findings showed that the inspection rate increases linearly with inspection time until the 7 second point, after which it describes a negative growth. The behavior of these relationships under different operating conditions was studied using a set of hypothesis. These include performance differences between airport types, between checkpoints within an airport, as well as the effect of increased passenger arrival rates.

description: Lexically constrained decoding for machine translation has shown to be beneficial in previous studies. Unfortunately, constraints provided by users may contain mistakes in real-world situations. It is still an open question that how to manipulate these noisy constraints in such practical scenarios. We present a novel framework that treats constraints as external memories. In this soft manner, a mistaken constraint can be corrected. Experiments demonstrate that our approach can achieve substantial BLEU gains in handling noisy constraints. These results motivate us to apply the proposed approach on a new scenario where constraints are generated without the help of users. Experiments show that our approach can indeed improve the translation quality with the automatically generated constraints.

Background Edutainment aims to spread educational messages in an entertaining way, and often reaches large audiences. While studies increasingly report the impacts of edutainment interventions, there is limited context-specific evidence on the underlying processes and barriers to effective delivery, especially in rural areas. This article presents results from a process evaluation of a community-based edutainment intervention designed to improve knowledge, attitudes, and practices on gender-based violence (GBV), sexual and reproductive health (SRH), and maternal and child health. The intervention focused on the television series, C’est la Vie!, screened through biweekly film clubs in rural Senegal and included post-screening discussions and thematic workshops, meant to reinforce messages, increase knowledge, and change social norms. The objectives of this study were to assess intervention adaptation, implementation fidelity, participants’ responsiveness or engagement, and series appropriateness. Methods The intervention was implemented from December 2019 to March 2020 in 120 villages in Kaolack and Kolda regions of Senegal, and targeted adolescent girls and young women aged 14 to 34. The process evaluation was carried out in March 2020 in 14 villages using: i) individual semi-structured interviews with implementers (n = 3), village chiefs (n = 8), married women (n = 9), adolescent girls (n = 8), and men (n = 8); ii) focus groups with men (n = 7, 29 participants) and women (n = 10, 100 participants); and iii) observations of screening sessions (n = 4) and post-screening discussions (n = 2). Data were analyzed using thematic and content analysis. Results The results highlight that adaptation of the intervention helped reach the target population and improved participant attendance, but might have compromised fidelity to original design, as intervention components were shortened and modified for rural delivery and some facilitators made ad hoc modifications. The screenings coverage and frequency were adequate; however, their duration was shortened due to COVID-19 restrictions in Senegal. Participant responsiveness was excellent, as was the series appropriateness for most topics, including GBV. SRH remains a sensitive topic for youth, especially when the film clubs included non-peers, such as slightly older women. Conclusions This study showed that using film clubs to deliver sensitive edutainment content in rural areas is feasible and has potential for scale-up.

description: This paper presents a simulation model to determine the impact of increased truck traffic entering and exiting the container terminal at the Alabama State Docks in Mobile, AL. Of special interest was the number of truck locations required to process the truck traffic and the possible use of trains to reduce the truck traffic entering and exiting the container terminal. Truck locations are used in the ProcessModel to control the maximum number of trucks in the container terminal. As a result, the number of truck locations is an important measure of the amount of space needed within the terminal. The Baseline Run1 had fifty trucks, or resources. Runs2-6 continually reduced the number of truck locations available. It appears that with the existing entity arrival rates only ten truck locations are necessary. The results with ten truck locations were identical to the results with fifty truck locations. The number of locations will probably have to increase if there is an increase in container traffic. The simulation results indicated that the container terminal would have a significant impact of truck traffic in and out of Mobile. A ship arriving every four days (or about seven ships a month) with an average of 450 containers for import and 350 containers for export will require about 350 trucks to bring in containers for export and another 450 trucks to move the incoming containers inland. This traffic volume will occur every four days, which is the time between arrivals of ships. Run3 estimated 4,400 trucks a month (or 220 per day) will be added to the interstate traffic in Mobile with the arrival of a container ship every four days. The addition of train service to the container terminal will reduce the truck traffic servicing the terminal. The simulation results for Run7 indicated at 18% reduction in truck traffic with a train arriving every five days. The arrival of a train every three days in Run8 had a 31% reduction in truck traffic. For every container that arrives on a train a truck is removed from delivering a container to the terminal. Also for every container that arrives on a ship and leaves the terminal on train a truck is removed from the Mobile road network. Included in this paper are a description of the simulation model, the experiment and an analysis of the simulation results.

description: Opisthoscelis Shrader
 Opisthoscelis Schrader 1863: 7
 Type species: Opisthoscelis subrotunda Schrader 1863: 7 – by subsequent designatation by Fernald 1903: 46.
 The only species in this genus currently known from South America is O. prosopidis Kieffer & Jorgensen (Kieffer & Jorgensen, 1910). Opisthoscelis currently contains 15 species, all of which are restricted to Australia apart from O. prosopidis, which is known only from the original description from Argentina (Aragon, Alto Pencoso, on Prosopis adesmiodes). As pointed out by Lizer y Trelles (1939), the species was only placed in this genus tentatively by Kieffer & Jorgensen and, on the basis of the original description and on the distribution of the other species in the genus, Lizer y Trellis did not believe that this species belonged to Opisthoscelis. This was also the view of Hoy (1963). Miller & Gimpel (2000) state that the type status and type designation are unknown, and no depository is known. The original description does have an illustration of the gall and it may be possible in the future to clarify the identity of this species by finding similar galls on Prosopis species in the type locality. Until such time, it is felt best to assume that this species is unidentifiable and that it is unlikely to belong to Opisthoscelis Schrader.

description: We report on the XMM-Newton (XMM) observation of RXJ1053.7+5735, one of the most distant (z = 1.26) X-ray selected clusters of galaxies, which also shows an unusual double-lobed X-ray morphology, indicative of possible cluster-cluster interaction. The cluster was discovered during our ROSAT deep pointings in the direction of the Lockman Hole. The XMM observations were performed with the European Photon Imaging Camera (EPIC) during the performance verification phase. Total effective exposure time was ~ 100 ksec. The best fit temperature based on a simultaneous fit of spectra from the all EPIC cameras is 4.9(+1.5/-0.9) keV. Metallicity is poorly constrained even using the joint fit of all spectra, with an upper limit on the iron abundance of 0.62 solar. Using the best fit model parameters, we derived a bolometric luminosity of L(bol) = 3.4x10^44 h_{50}^-2 erg /s. Despite the fact that it was observed at fairly large off-axis angle, the temperature errors are much smaller compared with those of typical measurements based on ASCA or Beppo-Sax observations of z > 0.6 clusters, demonstrating the power of the XMM for determining the X-ray temperature for high-z clusters. The measured temperature and luminosity show that one can easily reach the intrinsically X-ray faint and cool cluster regime comparable with those of z ~ 0.4 clusters observed by past satellites. The new cluster temperature and L(bol) we have measured for RXJ1053.7+5735 is consistent with a weak/no evolution of the L(bol) - Tx relation out to z ~ 1.3, which lends support to a low Omega universe, although more data-points of z > 1 clusters are required for a more definitive statement. The caution has to be also exercised in interpreting the result, because of the uncertainty associated with the dynamical status of this cluster.

description: A new, recursive method of calculating matrix elements of polynomial hamiltonians is proposed. It is particularly suitable for the recent algebraic studies of the supersymmetric Yang-Mills quantum mechanics in any dimensions. For the D=2 system with the SU(2) gauge group, considered here, the technique gives exact, closed expressions for arbitrary matrix elements of the hamiltonian and of the supersymmetric charge, in the occupation number representation. Subsequent numerical diagonalization provides the spectrum and restricted Witten index of the system with very high precision (taking into account up to $10^5$ quanta). Independently, the exact value of the restricted Witten index is derived analytically for the first time.

description: Non-Newtonian fluid flows, especially in three dimensions (3D), arise in numerous settings of interest to physics. Prior studies using the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) of such flows have so far been limited to mainly to two dimensions and used less robust collision models. In this paper, we develop a new 3D cascaded LBM based on central moments and multiple relaxation times on a three-dimensional, nineteen velocity (D3Q19) lattice for simulation of generalized Newtonian (power law) fluid flows. The relaxation times of the second order moments are varied locally based on the local shear rate and parameterized by the consistency coefficient and the power law index of the nonlinear constitutive relation of the power law fluid. Numerical validation study of the 3D cascaded LBM for various benchmark problems, including the complex 3D non-Newtonian flow in a cubic cavity at different Reynolds numbers and power law index magnitudes encompassing shear thinning and shear thickening fluids, are presented. Furthermore, numerical stability comparisons of the proposed advanced LBM scheme against the LBM based on other collision models, such as the SRT model and MRT model based on raw moments, are made. Numerical results demonstrate the accuracy, second order grid convergence and significant improvements in stability of the 3D cascaded LBM for simulation of 3D non-Newtonian flows of power law fluids.

description: We consider Laguerre polynomials $L_n^{(α_n)}(nz)$ with varying negative parameters $α_n$, such that the limit $A = -\lim_n α_n/n$ exists and belongs to $(0,1)$. For $A > 1$, it is known that the zeros accumulate along an open contour in the complex plane. For every $A \in (0,1)$, we describe a one-parameter family of possible limit sets of the zeros. Under the condition that the limit $r= - \lim_n \frac{1}{n} \log \dist(α_n, \mathbb Z)$ exists, we show that the zeros accumulate on $Γ_r \cup [β_1,β_2]$ with $β_1$ and $β_2$ only depending on $A$. For $r \in [0,\infty)$, $Γ_r$ is a closed loop encircling the origin, which for $r = +\infty$, reduces to the origin. This shows a great sensitivity of the zeros to $α_n$'s proximity to the integers. We use a Riemann-Hilbert formulation for the Laguerre polynomials, together with the steepest descent method of Deift and Zhou to obtain asymptotics for the polynomials, from which the zero behavior follows.

description: We consider a model describing Bose-Josephson junction (BJJ) coupled to a single bosonic mode exhibiting quantum phase transition (QPT). Onset of chaos above QPT is observed from semiclassical dynamics as well from spectral statistics. Based on entanglement entropy we analyze the ergodic behavior of eigenstates with increasing energy density which also reveals the influence of dynamical steady state known as $π$-mode on it. We identify the imprint of unstable $π$-oscillation as many body quantum scar (MBQS), which leads to the deviation from ergodicity and quantify the degree of scarring. Persistence of phase coherence in nonequilibrium dynamics of such initial state corresponding to the $π$-mode is an observable signature of MBQS which has relevance in experiments on BJJ.

 Type species: Orafortis luma Hardy, in Kondo, Hardy, Cook and Gullan, 2006: 30–33.
 Generic diagnosis. Adult female (Fig. 30). In life, covered by spiky test, cryptic on hairy stems or stem axils. Adult female with sclerotised anal lobes, protruding posteriorly; suranal seta slightly enlarged. Dorsum. Derm nodulose, sclerotised posteriorly. Setae spinose, of 1 size except posteriorly where smallest. Macrotubular ducts of 2 sizes: smaller size with sclerotised rim; larger size without rim. Microtubular ducts with longitudinal division, often associated with base of spinose setae. Loculate pores absent. Margin. Undefined. Venter. Setae hairlike medially, spinose laterally, smaller than dorsal setae except on head where about same size. Macrotubular ducts of small size only, most abundant posteriorly. Microtubular ducts absent. Loculate pores primarily quinquelocular. Cruciform pores absent. Antennae 6 segmented. Frontal lobes and antennal tubercles absent. Labium 3 segmented; basal segment with 1 pair of setae. Metathoracic legs with translucent pores on coxa. Claw digitules similar; claw with denticle. Vulva present between VII and VIII.
Known only from Myrtaceae.
 Comments. Orafortis is a monotypic genus known only from Chile. For a detailed description of the adult female, see Kondo et al. (2006), who considered that O. luma was superficially like Eriococcus Targioni Tozzetti (all species currently in the genus Eriococcus from South America are here considered to belong to other genera (See Appendix 1)) but can be distinguished from all those known from Chile in having: (i) distinct sclerotic rims around dermal orifices of macrotubular ducts; (ii) sclerotic nodules on dorsal surface of posterior abdominal segments; (iii) microtubular ducts opening at bases of enlarged dorsal spinose setae; and (iv) 2 sizes of dorsal macrotubular ducts. Kondo et al. discuss the differences between O. luma and other Eriococcus (Acanthococcus) species from Myrtaceae from Chile. Kondo et al. (2006) also make some comments on the structure of the first-instar nymph of O. luma but do not describe it in detail.

description: We have examined preliminary data of the globular cluster, M22, from the EPIC MOS detectors on board XMM-Newton. We have detected 27 X-ray sources within the centre of the field of view, 24 of which are new detections. Three sources were found within the core of the cluster. From spectral analysis of the X-ray sources, it is possible that the object at the centre of the core is a quiescent X-ray transient and those lying further out are maybe cataclysmic variables.

Competition between shocks and entropy floor : unifying groups and clusters of galaxies

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2001
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Semi-analytic models of X-ray clusters and groups of galaxies, relying on the idea that there was a non-gravitational energy injection in these systems, are able to reproduce many observed correlations, in particular the L_X-T relation and the ``central entropy floor'' in groups. Limiting models exist which describe the behaviour of clusters and groups separately, but no analytic modeling has yet been found to unify both mass ranges. {\it It is the aim of this paper to provide such an analytic model.} Our description relies on a now standard description of the shock thought to occur in these systems near the virial radius (Cavaliere et al., 98), the isothermality and spherical symmetry of the intracluster medium, as well as the reinterpretation of observed quantities (like the X-ray luminosity, the gas mass M_{ICM} and the central SZ effect y_0) in terms of the specific entropy. This allows the derivation of analytic expressions for several observed correlations (L_X-T, M_{ICM}-T, y_0-T,...) and their normalisation encompassing \emph{both the group and the cluster regimes}. The analytic predictions compare very well with observations, as well as with more elaborated semi-analytic schemes. This agreement allows a reinterpretation of the L_X-T relation (via the quantity L_X/T^{7/2}) and the y_0-T relation (via y_0/T^{5/2}) as indirect measures of the non-gravitational entropy content of groups and clusters of galaxies. Finally, we emphasize the need for shock heating, even in the group mass range : \emph{shocks can not be completely supressed in groups} (and thus groups can not be entirely isentropic) unless an unacceptably high entropy floor is needed in order to break the self-similarity in the L_X-T relation.

description: Experiments with the crossover superconductors between standard types I and II revealed exotic magnetic flux patterns where Meissner domains coexist with islands of the vortex lattice as well as with vortex clusters and chains. Until now a comprehensive theory for such configurations has not been presented. We solve this old-standing fundamental problem by developing an approach which combines the perturbation expansion of the microscopic theory with statistical simulations and which requires no prior assumption on the vortex distribution. Our study offers the most complete picture of the interchange of the superconductivity types available so far. The mixed state in this regime reveals a rich manifold of exotic configurations, which reproduce available experimental results. Our work introduces a pattern formation mechanism that originates from the self-duality of the theory that is universal and not sensitive to the microscopic details.

description: We formulate an effective field theory describing large mass scalars and fermions minimally coupled to gravity. The operators of this effective field theory are organized in powers of the transfer momentum divided by the mass of the matter field, an expansion which lends itself to the efficient extraction of classical contributions from loop amplitudes in both the post-Newtonian and post-Minkowskian regimes. We use this effective field theory to calculate the classical and leading quantum gravitational scattering amplitude of two heavy spin-1/2 particles at the second post-Minkowskian order.

description: We discuss the worldvolume description of intersecting D-branes, including the metric on the moduli space of deformations. We impose a choice of static gauge that treats all the branes on an equal footing and describes the intersection of D-branes as an embedded special Lagrangian three-surface. Some explicit solutions to these equations are given and their interpretation in terms of a superpotential on moduli space is discussed. These surfaces arise from flat direction of a non-Abelian superpotential and imply the existance of non-compact G_2 manifolds.

A new way of calculating the effective potential for a light radion

description: We address again the old problem of calculating the radion effective potential in Randall-Sundrum scenarios, with the Goldberger-Wise stabilization mechanism. Various prescriptions have been used in the literature, most of them based on heuristic derivations and then applied in some approximations. We define rigorously a light radion 4D effective action by using the interpolating field method. For a given choice of the interpolating field, defined as a functional of 5D fields, the radion effective action is uniquely defined by the procedure of integrating out the other fields, with the constrained 5D equations of motion always satisfied with help of the Lagrange multipliers. Thus, for a given choice of the interpolating fields we obtain a precise prescription for calculating the effective potential. Different choices of the interpolating fields give different prescriptions but in most cases very similar effective potentials. We confirm the correctness of one prescription used so far on a more heuristic basis and also find several new, much more economical, ways of calculating the radion effective potential. Our general considerations are illustrated by several numerical examples. It is shown that in some cases the old methods, especially in models with strong back-reaction, give results which are off even by orders of magnitude. Thus, our results are important e.g. for estimation of critical temperature in phase transitions.
