On the Relation Between Peak Luminosity and Parent Population of Type Ia Supernovae: A New Tool for Probing the Ages of Distant Galaxies

description: We study the properties of Type Ia Supernovae (SNe Ia) as functions of the radial distance from their host galaxy centers. Using a sample of 62 SNe Ia with reliable luminosity, reddening, and decline rate determinations, we find no significant radial gradients of SNe Ia peak absolute magnitudes or decline rates in elliptical+S0 galaxies, suggesting that the diversity of SN properties is not related to the metallicity of their progenitors. We do find that the range in brightness and light curve width of supernovae in spiral galaxies extends to brighter, broader values. These results are interpreted as support for an age, but not metallicity, related origin of the diversity in SNe Ia. If confirmed with a larger and more accurate sample of data, the age-luminosity relation would offer a new and powerful tool to probe the ages and age gradients of stellar populations in galaxies at redshift as high as $z\sim1-2$. The absence of significant radial gradients in the peak $\rm (B-V)_0$ and $\rm (V-I)_0$ colors of SNe Ia supports the redding correction method of Phillips et al (1999). We find no radial gradient in residuals from the SN Ia luminosity-width relation, suggesting that the relation is not affected by properties of the progenitor populations and supporting the reliability of cosmological results based upon the use of SNe Ia as distance indicators.

description: We study the efficacy of public and private food assistance in alleviating food shortages among poor households by considering the effects of all major forms of domestic food assistance– the Food Stamp Program, WIC, and food pantries. The analyses are based on detailed data that were collected in 1993 from 398 low-income households in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania. This research adds to the knowledge base on the efficacy of public and private food assistance in alleviating food shortages among poor households by jointly considering the effects of both public and private forms of food assistance. After reconsidering standard food consumption models, the analysis modifies these models to account for misspecification and extends these models to include the effects of both public and private food assistance. Then, we examine the effect each of the widely available forms of food assistance has on helping poor households acquire enough resources to potentially meet basic nutritional requirements. Research findings suggest that compared with other forms of food assistance, the receipt of a significant amount in food stamps has a much greater impact on whether a household attains at least the Thrifty Food Plan than the receipt of food from a food pantry or through the WIC program.

description: The many-body wave-function of an interacting one-dimensional electron system is probed, focusing on the low-density, strong interaction regime. The properties of the wave-function are determined using tunneling between two long, clean, parallel quantum wires in a GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructure, allowing for gate-controlled electron density. As electron density is lowered to a critical value the many-body state abruptly changes from an extended state with a well-defined momentum to a localized state with a wide range of momentum components. The signature of the localized states appears as discrete tunneling features at resonant gate-voltages, corresponding to the depletion of single electrons and showing Coulomb-blockade behavior. Typically 5-10 such features appear, where the one-electron state has a single-lobed momentum distribution, and the few-electron states have double-lobed distributions with peaks at $\pm k_F$. A theoretical model suggests that for a small number of particles (N<6), the observed state is a mixture of ground and thermally excited spin states.

Enabling the data FAIRness of version control systems

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2019

description: Many kinds of different scientific data are being produced every day by research institutes across the globe. Scientists are interested in using this data, but often have difficulties when trying to obtain access to data that has been created and is stored by external organizations, due to incompatible data management standards. The Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability, Re-usability (FAIR) principles are guiding principles for scientific data management and stewardship, which have been developed to facilitate knowledge discovery by introducing common standards for human and machine interaction with data, utilizing Persistent Identifiers (PIDs) and metadata. Several technologies and services have been introduced which leverage these principles. However, all aforementioned standards, technologies, and services are intended for static data and do not provide adequate support for dynamic and evolutionary data, e.g. software source code, which is often managed by Version Control Systems (VCSs) such as Git and Subversion. This research investigated the current approaches to managing persistently identified data through VCSs and found them to be lacking in diversity of supported VCSs and persistent publishing systems, and proposed a novel system which allows for direct publishing of repositories from multiple VCSs to multiple, external publishing systems through a web-accessed interface. This initial idea has also been published as a poster in the 2019 eScience Proceedings [1], which originated from an industry problem posed by Grasple [2]. Additionally, at the end of the thesis, several assertions and conclusions about the state of the art of persistent publishing of evolutionary data, most notably software source code, are made which detail important problems that need additional solutions.

description: Based on recent proposals linking four and five-dimensional BPS solutions, we discuss the explicit dictionary between general stationary 4D and 5D supersymmetric solutions in N=2 supergravity theories with cubic prepotentials. All these solutions are completely determined in terms of the same set of harmonic functions and the same set of attractor equations. As an example, we discuss black holes and black rings in Gödel-Taub-NUT spacetime. Then we consider corrections to the 4D solutions associated with more general prepotentials and comment on analogous corrections on the 5D side.

Dwarf Galaxy Rotation Curves and the Core Problem of Dark Matter Halos

Year: 2000
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: The standard cold dark matter (CDM) model has recently been challenged by the claim that dwarf galaxies have dark matter halos with constant density cores. Consequently, numerous alternative dark matter candidates have recently been proposed. In this paper, we scrutinize the observational evidence for the incongruity between dwarf galaxies and the CDM model. To this end, we analyze the rotation curves of 20 late-type dwarf galaxies studied by Swaters (1999). Taking the effects of beam-smearing and adiabatic contraction into account, we fit mass models to these rotation curves with dark matter halos with different cusp slopes, ranging from constant density cores to r^{-2} cusps. Uncertainties in the stellar mass-to-light ratio and the limited spatial sampling of the halo's density distribution hamper a unique mass decomposition. Consequently, the rotation curves in our sample cannot be used to discriminate between dark halos with constant density cores and r^{-1} cusps. We show that the dwarf galaxies analyzed here are consistent with cold dark matter halos in a LCDM cosmology, and that there is thus no need to abandon the idea that dark matter is cold and collisionless. However, the data is also consistent with any alternative dark matter model that produces dark matter halos with central cusps less steep than r^{-1.5}. In fact, we argue that based on existing rotation curves alone at best weak limits can be obtained on cosmological parameters and/or the nature of the dark matter.

description: This dissertation is intended for the advancement of methodology and techniques used in the modeling of the development of behaviors associated with criminology and psychopathology. There are three loosely tied essays of which this contribution is comprised. The first chapter is entitled ‘Finite Sample Effects in Group-Based Trajectory Models." It analyses a very intricate and specific aspect of the broader body of work credited to Daniel Nagin regarding group-based trajectory models. These models, which are an application of finite mixture modeling, are used to model population heterogeneity in the development of various types of behavior such as physical aggression or anxiety over age or time. The second chapter is entitled "Consequences of a Violation of the Conditional Independence Assumption in Group-Based Trajectory Models." This chapter again addresses another nuance of the group-based trajectory model, which, in particular, is often a criticism of the methodology. The third chapter is entitled "Accounting for Selection to Understand the Effects of Group Daycare on the Development of Physical Aggression." This chapter considers the problem of estimating casual effects of a treatment on an outcome of interest, which is a problem often addressed by researchers.
Diffusion of a particle in the spatially correlated exponential random energy landscape: transition from normal to anomalous diffusion

description: Diffusive transport of a particle in spatially correlated random energy landscape having exponential density of states has been considered. We exactly calculate the diffusivity in the nondispersive quasi-equilibrium transport regime and found that for slow decaying correlation functions the diffusivity becomes singular at some particular temperature higher than the temperature of the transition to the true non-equilibrium dispersive transport regime. It means that the diffusion becomes anomalous and does not follow the usual $\propto t^{1/2}$ law. In such situation the fully developed non-equilibrium regime emerges in two stages: first, at some temperature there is the transition from the normal to anomalous diffusion, and then at lower temperature the average velocity for the infinite medium goes to zero, thus indicating the development of the true dispersive regime. Validity of the Einstein relation is discussed for the situation where the diffusivity does exist.

description: Kinetic-transport equations that take into account the intra-cellular pathways are now considered as the correct description of bacterial chemotaxis by run and tumble. Recent mathematical studies have shown their interest and their relations to more standard models. Macroscopic equations of Keller-Segel type have been derived using parabolic scaling. Due to the randomness of receptor methylation or intra-cellular chemical reactions, noise occurs in the signaling pathways and affects the tumbling rate. Then, comes the question to understand the role of an internal noise on the behavior of the full population. In this paper we consider a kinetic model for chemotaxis which includes biochemical pathway with noises. We show that under proper scaling and conditions on the tumbling frequency as well as the form of noise, fractional diffusion can arise in the macroscopic limits of the kinetic equation. This gives a new mathematical theory about how long jumps can be due to the internal noise of the bacteria.

Sensation and Metaphor in Ritual Performance: The Example of Sacred Texts
Creators: name: Watts, James W.
Publisher: name: Entangled Religions
Year: 2019

description: Rituals obviously utilize the human senses. Theological and mystical interpretations frequently comment on sensation as a source of metaphors for religious experience. However, the discourse used in religious rituals themselves usually avoids using the normal vocabulary appropriate to particular sensations, while focusing on ritual performance instead. This raises the question of whether it is generally the case that ritualizing sensation diverts attention from sensation to ritual behavior, and whether ritual interpretations usually divert attention from the sensation to its metaphorical meaning. This essay addresses these questions with the analytical tools of metaphor theory and ritual theory. To test and apply these theories, it focuses on one kind of ritual practices, those that involving written texts, especially books of scripture, and how they use the senses of sight, hearing, and touch.

description: We present abundance measurements of elements O, C, Si and Fe for three gas-rich galaxies at z~5 using observations from the Very Large Telescope (VLT) and the Keck telescope in order to better constrain the early chemical enrichment of gas-rich galaxies. These galaxies show strong Lyman-α absorption in the spectra of background quasars, with neutral hydrogen column densities log N${_H{}_I}$(cm$^{-2}$)=20.10$\pm$0.15, 20.10$\pm$0.15, and 20.80$\pm$0.15. Using the undepleted element O, we find the metallicities [O/H] to be in the range of -2.51 to -2.05 dex. Our study has doubled the existing sample of measurements of undepleted elements at z>4.5. Combining our measurements with those from the literature, we find that the N${_H{}_I}$-weighted mean metallicity of z~5 absorbers is consistent with the prediction based on z<4.5 DLAs. Thus, we find no significant evidence of a sudden drop in metallicity at z>4.7 as reported by some prior studies. We also determine the extent of dust depletion using a combination of both the volatile element O and the refractory elements Si and/or Fe. Some of the absorbers show evidence of depletion of elements on dust grains, e.g. low [Si/O] or [Fe/O]. The relative abundances of these absorbers along with other z~5 absorbers from the literature show some peculiarities, e.g. low [C/O] in several absorbers and high [Si/O] in one absorber. Finally, we find that the metallicity vs. velocity dispersion relation of z~5 absorbers may be different from that of lower-redshift absorbers.

description: In the past 15 years, national spending on prescription drugs has grown dramatically, outpacing the growth rate of hospital spending and physician spending in the same period. In response, many health insurance plans have reduced the generosity of their prescription drug benefits by imposing increasingly higher cost-sharing on patients' side for their pharmaceutical uses. This research paper contains in-depth evaluations of the impacts of prescription drug insurance benefit design on health spending, consumers' use of medical care, compliance with drug regimens, and health outcomes.

description: An overview of the senses in the study of religion and religious encounter is provided, along with reflections on the ways in which various specific senses were imagined to serve as modes of communication between human beings and between humans and transcendent beings. How the individual case studies collected in this volume inform such a project and further research on religion, the senses, and the role of the senses in religious encounter is a core concern of this introductory essay. We end by suggesting new directions for additional research for an integrated and systematic examination of how senses shape and are used in human encounters with the transcendent and the (human) religious Other.

description: This paper explores the intersection of labor economics and urban-regional economics. An important stream of research in urban economics documents large cross-city variation in prices, wages, and other attributes and seeks to provide theoretical explanations for these observations. Standard economic theory predicts that this variation in the vector of prices will affect decision-making by rational individuals, including decisions relevant to local labor markets. The research is aimed at understanding the importance of locationspecific attributes-such as local wages, local prices (e.g., real estate prices), and commuting times-in studying labor market outcomes.

Within defined limits, we construct all such Standard Model brane embeddings and determine the relative number of flux vacua for each construction. Supersymmetry preserving brane recombination in the hidden sector enables us to identify many solutions with high flux. We discuss in detail the phenomenology of one model which is likely to dominate the counting of vacua. While Kahler moduli stabilization remains to be fully understood, we define the criteria necessary for generic constructions to have fixed moduli.

description: Graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) make up an extremely interesting class of materials. On the one hand GNRs share many of the superlative properties of graphene, while on the other hand they display an exceptional degree of tunability of their optoelectronic properties. The presence or absence of correlated low-dimensional magnetism, or of a widely tunable band gap, is determined by the boundary conditions imposed by the width, crystallographic symmetry and edge structure of the nanoribbons. In combination with additional controllable parame-ters like the presence of heteroatoms, tailored strain, or the formation of hetero-structures, the possibilities to shape the electronic properties of GNRs according to our needs are fantastic. However, to really benefit from that tunability and harness the opportunities offered by GNRs, atomic precision is strictly required in their synthesis. This can be achieved through an on-surface synthesis approach, in which one lets appropriately designed precursor molecules to react in a selective way that ends up forming GNRs. In this chapter we review the structure-property relations inherent to GNRs, the synthesis approach and the ways in which the var-ied properties of the resulting ribbons have been probed, finalizing with selected examples of demonstrated GNR applications.

description: The following discussion of touch as a syntactic-semantic unit in ritual structures is based on an analogy of ritual and language postulating a 'deep structure' or a 'universal grammar' for rituals as presented by Frits Staal, Axel Michaels, and Naphtali Meshel. Following E. Thomas Lawson and Robert N. McCauley in their cognitive approach to ritual competence and in identifying actions as building blocks in ritual structures, I propose an analysis of ritual events as a category with distinctive semantic and syntactic properties and within the framework of ritual communication and ritual competence. I extend Martina Wiltschko’s universal spine hypothesis for linguistic categories to the language-ritual analogy in the domains of semantics and syntax. The viability of this analytical framework is demonstrated by categorizing touching events in rituals in shared festivals in Kerala. I conclude the discussion by hypothesizing universal categories for ritual events and entities, and universal structural patterns partially analogous (perhaps even homologous) to categories and patterns used in Wiltschko’s universal spine hypothesis.

description: Information security breaches pose a significant and increasing threat to national security and economic well-being. In the Symantec Internet Security Threat Report (2003), companies surveyed experienced an average of about 30 attacks per week. Anecdotal evidence suggests that losses from cyber-attacks can run into millions of dollars. The CSI-FBI survey (2005) estimates that the loss per company was more than $500,000 in 2004 and more than $200,000 in 2005. This research analyzes the information security policies that attempt to address the above issues. In particular, this research focus on the following topics (1) the vulnerability disclosure policy of several major vulnerability information outlets and their implications to the vendors’ patch release behavior (2) the conformance of the software vendors to one of the most important software product security quality certification standard, Common Criteria certification (3) the effectiveness of Common Criteria Certification in improving the security quality of software products.

description: We explore further the hardness of the non-dual discrete variant of the Ring-LWE problem for various number rings, give improved attacks for certain rings satisfying some additional assumptions, construct a new family of vulnerable Galois number fields, and apply some number theoretic results on Gauss sums to deduce the likely failure of these attacks for 2-power cyclotomic rings and unramified moduli.

Slowly-Rotating Neutron Stars in Massive Bigravity

Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We study slowly-rotating neutron stars in ghost-free massive bigravity. This theory modifies General Relativity by introducing a second, auxiliary but dynamical tensor field that couples to matter through the physical metric tensor through non-linear interactions. We expand the field equations to linear order in slow rotation and numerically construct solutions in the interior and exterior of the star with a set of realistic equations of state. We calculate the physical mass function with respect to observer radius and find that, unlike in General Relativity, this function does not remain constant outside the star; rather, it asymptotes to a constant a distance away from the surface, whose magnitude is controlled by the ratio of gravitational constants. The Vainshtein-like radius at which the physical and auxiliary mass functions asymptote to a constant is controlled by the graviton mass scaling parameter, and outside this radius, bigravity modifications are suppressed. We also calculate the frame-dragging metric function and find that bigravity modifications are typically small in the entire range of coupling parameters explored. We finally calculate both the mass-radius and the moment of inertia-mass relations for a wide range of coupling parameters and find that both the graviton mass scaling parameter and the ratio of the gravitational constants introduce large modifications to both. These results could be used to place future constraints on bigravity with electromagnetic and gravitational-wave observations of isolated and binary neutron stars.

A determinant-free method to simulate the parameters of large Gaussian fields

description: We propose a determinant-free approach for simulation-based Bayesian inference in high-dimensional Gaussian models. We introduce auxiliary variables with covariance equal to the inverse covariance of the model. The joint probability of the auxiliary model can be computed without evaluating determinants, which are often hard to compute in high dimensions. We develop a Markov chain Monte Carlo sampling scheme for the auxiliary model that requires no more than the application of inverse-matrix-square-roots and the solution of linear systems. These operations can be performed at large scales with rational approximations. We provide an empirical study on both synthetic and real-world data for sparse Gaussian processes and for large-scale Gaussian Markov random fields.

Sensing Sound: Aesthetic and Religious Experience According to al-Ghazālī
Creators: name: Weinrich, Ines
Publisher: name: Entangled Religions
Year: 2019

description: The Muslim theologian Abū Ḥāmid al-Ghazālī (d. 1111) is one of the most often cited authors when it comes to "music and Islam." His “Book on the Etiquette of Listening and Ecstasy” (*Kitāb Ādāb as-samāʿ wa-l-wajd*), translated into English more than a hundred years ago, is widely circulated among Muslims in the East and West, in Arabic and English, in print and on the internet. This paper re-examines the text against the background of Arab musical theory of the time when it was written, and analyses selected technical terms that allude to concepts rooted in Late Antique musical philosophy and become also tangible in the Qurʾān. al-Ghazālī recognises both aesthetic pleasure and the transformative power of sounds and gives guidance how to channel the hearing perception into a salvific experience.

Non-LTE treatment of molecules in the photospheres of cool stars

Publisher: name: arXiv

description: We present a technique to treat systems with very many levels, like molecules, in non-LTE. This method is based on a superlevel formalism coupled with rate operator splitting. Superlevels consist of many individual levels that are assumed to be in LTE relative to each other. The usage of superlevels reduces the dimensionality of the rate equations dramatically and, thereby, makes the problem computationally more easily treatable. Our superlevel formalism retains maximum accuracy by using direct opacity sampling (dOS) when calculating the radiative transitions and the opacities. We developed this method in order to treat molecules in cool dwarf model calculations in non-LTE. Cool dwarfs have low electron densities and a radiation field that is far from a black body radiation field, both properties may invalidate the conditions for the common LTE approximation. Therefore, the most important opacity sources, the molecules, need to be treated in non-LTE. As a case study we applied our method to carbon monoxide. We find that our method gives accurate results since the conditions for the superlevel method are very well met for molecules. Due to very high collisional cross sections with hydrogen, and the high densities of H_2 the population of CO itself shows no significant deviation from LTE.

Religious Identities and the Struggle for Secularism: The Revival of Buddhism and Religions of Marginalized Groups in Nepal
Creators: name: Torri, Davide
Publisher: name: Entangled Religions
Year: 2019

description: One of the most relevant aspects of contemporary political life in Nepal is the rise of ethnic minorities. From the early 1990s, the movement for democracy started campaigning against Hindu Monarchic autocracy for the lifting of the ban on political parties, the recognition of multiculturalism and freedom of religion. Many things have changed since then: a Maoist-led insurgency and a new people's movement have managed to topple the monarchy and to transform the Himalayan country into a republic. As a reaction to the state-enforced Hinduization of the people, supporting the caste system and maintaining the power in the hands of high caste Hindus, many groups are now campaigning to revive their local cultures and traditions. Religion is one of the key areas of confrontation, and the struggle for secularism has created space for the revival of the religious traditions of marginalized groups.

Towards an Ashtekar Formalism in Twelve Dimensions

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

description: We discuss the Ashtekar formalism from the point of view of twelve dimensions. We first focus on the 2+10 spacetime signature and then we consider the transition $2+10\to (2+2)+(0+8)$. We argue that both sectors 2+2 and 0+8, which are exceptional signatures, can be analyzed from the point of view of a self-dual action associated with the Ashtekar formalism.

description: This paper explores two topics related to health outcomes in the adult U.S. population. Over the past fifteen years, the United States has seen a decrease in overall health. Two potential reasons behind this deterioration in physical condition are the rise in overweight and obesity, and increases in adverse health outcomes for individuals requiring hospital stays. This research attempts to comprehend the extent to which these two causes are contributors in said health declines. The paper focuses on three aspects of health outcomes: (1) identifying who among the adult U.S. population has been affected by the obesity epidemic; (2) whether employment increases played a role in the rise of obesity in single women; and (3) do increases in nurse staffing reduce adverse health outcomes for the inpatient hospital population.
