Gesetzmäßigkeiten der Bodenentwicklung im Quartär
Creators: name: Smolíková, Libuše
Publisher: name: Geozon Science Media
Year: 1971

description: Der Übersichtsaufsatz soll den gegenwärtigen Stand der Quartärpedologie in Mitteleuropa besprechen, auf die Voraussetzungen, die zu erfüllen sind, aufmerksam machen sowie die Möglichkeiten erörtern, die der Paläopedologie im Rahmen der Quartärforschung zur Verfügung stehen. Im methodischen Teil werden die Ergebnisse der klassischen analytischen Bodenkunde und der Bodenmikromorphologie einander vergleichend gegenüberstellt und die Bedeutung der mikromorphologischen Methoden für die Paläopedologie hervorgehoben. Erst aus der engsten Verknüpfung eines vollentfalteten naturwissenschaftlichen Bodensystems mit der Mikromorphologie sowie Sedimentologie ergibt sich eine Vollausnützung der Bodenbildungen für die Zwecke der Quartärforschung. Im Kapitel über die Stellung der Böden im quartären klimabedingten Sedimentationszyklus werden die einzelnen Hauptphasen der Bodenbildung erörtert, von denen auch die allgemeinen Gesetzmäßigkeiten abgeleitet werden können. Die Entstehungsdynamik bestimmter Formen der Bodenerhaltung, die Charakteristik von ruhigen und gestörten Lagen sowie weitere verwandte Erscheinungen werden im Kapitel über das Verhältnis der Bodenbildung zur Abtragung und Sedimentation besprochen. Im folgenden Abschnitt, der den paläopedologischen Provinzen gewidmet ist, werden die Probleme der horizontalen und vertikalen Zonengliederung und die Bodenbildungsfazies sowie die Fragen des heutigen Standes der Bodenbildung und die substratbedingten Fazies erörtert. Aus der Tatsache, daß die Böden weit verbreitete Zeugen bestimmter Standortverhältnisse darstellen, geht schließlich ihre hohe landschafts- und klimageschichtliche Bedeutung hervor. Aus der vorliegenden Übersicht ist ersichtlich, welche bedeutsame Rolle den Bören bei der Erforschung der jüngsten geologischen Vergangenheit zukommt. Unter Voraussetzung, daß die erörterten Richtlinien eingehalten und die paläopedologischen Ergebnisse mit denjenigen anderer Quartärdisziplinen kritisch verglichen werden, wird die Paläopedologie nicht nur zu einer der Hauptmethoden der Quartärforschung, sondern wird auch selbst feste naturwissenschaftliche Grundlagen gewinnen, die ihr oft noch fehlen.

Feinstratigraphische Untersuchung eines Lößprofils von Murr
Creators: name: Guenther, Ekke W.
Publisher: name: Geozon Science Media
Year: 1954

description: Für die stratigraphische Auswertung eines Lößprofils ist es notwendig, dieses je nach den Ablagerungsbedingungen in einzelne Abschnitte zu gliedern. Bei dem oft sehr gleichförmigen Material kann man jedoch meist nicht ohne weiteres erkennen, ob äolisch abgelagerter, verschwemmter oder durch Solifluktion umgelagerter Löß vorliegt. Es wird daher versucht, mit Hilfe physikalischer und chemischer Untersuchungen in Anlehnung an die Sedimentpetrographie (Korngrößenverteilung, Korngestalt, mineralogische Kornzusammensetzung, Kalkgehalt, Gefügeregelung, Helligkeitswert, Porenvolumen, Einschaltung organischer Beimengungen etc.) der Lößstratigraphie eine exakte Basis zu geben.

Cluster Origin of Triple Star HD 188753 and its Planet
Creators: name: Pfahl, Eric
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2005
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The recent discovery by M. Konacki of a ``hot Jupiter'' in the hierarchical triple star system HD 188753 challenges established theories of giant-planet formation. If the orbital geometry of the triple has not changed since the birth of the planet, then a disk around the planetary host star would probably have been too compact and too hot for a Jovian planet to form by the core-accretion model or gravitational collapse. This paradox is resolved if the star was initially either single or had a much more distant companion. It is suggested here that a close multi-star dynamical encounter transformed this initial state into the observed triple, an idea that follows naturally if HD 188753 formed in a moderately dense stellar system--perhaps an open cluster--that has since dissolved. Three distinct types of encounters are investigated. The most robust scenario involves an initially single planetary host star that changes places with the outlying member of a pre-existing hierarchical triple.

description: Ein Teil des deutschen Beitrages zum IGCP Sea Level Project war die Computerauswertung von Seespiegeldaten. Dies umfaßte den Entwurf eines Formblattes für die Datenerfassung sowie die Entwicklung eines Computerprogrammsystems zur Auswertung und Verarbeitung der Daten bis zu graphischen Zeit-/Tiefen-Diagrammen für verschiedene Meeresspiegelstände innerhalb der letzten 10000 Jahre. Zur Verarbeitung vorgesehen sind alle Daten, die einen Zeit-/Tiefen-Bezug zum Meeresspiegel haben, vorwiegend jedoch solche von radiometrisch datierten Meeresspiegel-Indikatoren. Besonders hervorgehoben wird die Möglichkeit der Umrechnung der zumeist unterschiedlichen Basisdaten auf eine einheitliche Bewertungsgrundlage, so daß direkte Vergleiche zwischen den einzelnen Zeit-/Tiefen-Diagrammen von verschiedenen Küstenregionen und gegründet auf Daten der verschiedensten Labors erlaubt sind. Mehrere Beispiele von Umrechnungen und Darstellungen in Form von Diagrammen sind dieser Publikation beigegeben.

description: A two dimensional hopping system with Rashba spin-orbit interaction is considered. Our main interest is concerned with the evolution of the spin degree of freedom of the electrons. We derive the rate equations governing the evolution of the charge density and spin polarization of this system in the Markovian limit in one-particle approximation. If only two-site hopping events are taken into account, the evolution of the charge density and of the spin polarization is found to be decoupled. A critical electric field is found, above which oscillations are superimposed on the temporal decay of the total polarization. A coupling between charge density and spin polarization occurs on the level of three-site hopping events. The coupling terms are identified as the anomalous Hall effect and the recently proposed spin Hall effect. Thus, an unpolarized charge current through a sheet of finite width leads to a transversal spin accumulation in our model system.

description: One of the main European Union's assumptions regarding financing regional development is to support the so-called smart specializations. The smart specialization strategies are to be the basis for the implementation of the "Europe 2020" strategy (EU 2020) on the regional and national level in the new financial perspective 2014-2020. the necessity for its development results from the regulations package of European Parliament and the Council laying down the rules regarding European Structural Funds, adopted on 17th December 2013. The objective of the study is to revise to what extent the European Union's requirements relating to the regions preparation fro the new financial perspective have been realized by the Polish regional self-governments and to what extent the adopted smart specializations result form the stakeholders' conviction on the possibilities of individual regions and the benefits that the made choice will bring and to what extent from current trends (fashion).

description: Building a competitive region is a long-lasting and highly complex process. The achieved level of competitive advantage is significantly determined by a precise diagnosis of the region's initial state and by the adopted direction of changes. This publication aims to demonstrate that application of the strategic reflection method (or, more precisely, of its third stage) allows to effectively realize such diagnosis. by using it, it is possible to obtain the picture of the region's current level of competitive advantage (as well as its prognosis), not only in the absolute categories, but also in the relative categories describing the varied value of the region for different groups wanting to use it. Besides the methodology of proceeding, a practical example is provided to demonstrate the technical aspects of the method's application, and, through the interpretation of obtained results, their value for the assessment of the region's competitive advantage.
title: Attachment,conduct disorder and perspective taking in 7-9 year old boys
Creators: name: Tilbrook, David
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2000

description: The perspective taking ability of children with aggressive behaviour problems was explored, by comparing them with non-aggressive children on tasks involving the prediction of emotion and behaviour on hypothetical short story vignettes. Their ability to correctly predict emotion and behaviour in emotionally charged, personally involving tasks was investigated, and linked with their security of attachment and verbal intelligence. Contrary to what was predicted, the aggressive children were not observed to perform poorly on complex emotionally charged, personally involving vignettes. Also, security of attachment was not seen to relate to performance on vignettes. The ability to provide explanations of responses which incorporated a coherent description of the differing and false beliefs held by different characters correlated with verbal intelligence and tentatively with security of attachment. The two groups showed significant differences on all sub-scales of a measure of abnormal social behaviour and two out of three sub-scales of a measure of security of attachment. The results do not present a clear picture, but suggest that verbal intelligence is associated with perspective taking and understanding of emotion. A consideration of methodological issues suggests that the short story vignettes suffer from poor reliability and possibly poor validity. The findings are discussed with relation to other literature, in particular an alternative theory of the development of emotion understanding that emphasizes the role of coherent psychological discourse by the caregiver. The role of disorganised attachment in childhood aggression is also discussed. Implications for clinical practice are considered and suggestions for future research are outlined.
REAK: Reliability analysis through Error rate-based Adaptive Kriging

description: As models in various fields are becoming more complex, associated computational demands have been increasing significantly. Reliability analysis for these systems when failure probabilities are small is significantly challenging, requiring a large number of costly simulations. To address this challenge, this paper introduces Reliability analysis through Error rate-based Adaptive Kriging (REAK). An extension of the Central Limit Theorem based on Lindeberg condition is adopted here to derive the distribution of the number of design samples with wrong sign estimate and subsequently determine the maximum error rate for failure probability estimates. This error rate enables optimal establishment of effective sampling regions at each stage of an adaptive scheme for strategic generation of design samples. Moreover, it facilitates setting a target accuracy for failure probability estimation, which is used as stopping criterion for reliability analysis. These capabilities together can significantly reduce the number of calls to sophisticated, computationally demanding models. The application of REAK for four examples with varying extent of nonlinearity and dimension is presented. Results indicate that REAK is able to reduce the computational demand by as high as 50% compared to state-of-the-art methods of Adaptive Kriging with Monte Carlo Simulation (AK-MCS) and Improved Sequential Kriging Reliability Analysis (ISKRA).

description: Precision Doppler velocity measurements from the 3.9--m Anglo-Australian Telescope reveal a planet with a 6 year period orbiting the G5 dwarf HD 70642. The a = 3.3 AU orbit has a low eccentricity (e = 0.1), and the minimum (\msini) mass of the planet is 2.0 \mjup. The host star is metal rich relative to the Sun, similar to most stars with known planets. The distant and approximately circular orbit of this planet makes it a member of a rare group to emerge from precision Doppler surveys.
Quantum phases of atomic boson-fermion mixtures in optical lattices

Year: 2003

description: The zero-temperature phase diagram of a binary mixture of bosonic and fermionic atoms in an one-dimensional optical lattice is studied in the framework of the Bose-Fermi-Hubbard model. By exact numerical solution of the associated eigenvalue problems, ground state observables and the response to an external phase twist are evaluated. The stiffnesses under phase variations provide measures for the boson superfluid fraction and the fermionic Drude weight. Several distinct quantum phases are identified as function of the strength of the repulsive boson-boson and the boson-fermion interaction. Besides the bosonic Mott-insulator phase, two other insulating phases are found, where both the bosonic superfluid fraction and the fermionic Drude weight vanish simultaneously. One of these double-insulator phases exhibits a crystalline diagonal long-range order, while the other is characterized by spatial separation of the two species.

description: More and more companies today decide to contract out some of the sectors of their enterprise to the outside company in order to increase its competitiveness in the market. Outsourcing is very often a strategic decision for a company. If outsourcing is carried out properly it can considerably contribute to improvement of the operational effectiveness of the company, as it enables it to focus on the core competencies. Cooperation with such third-parties is said to give an opportunity to use unique know-how, technology and competencies. The aim of this article is to determine the notion of outsourcing and its advantages and disadvantages in applying analysis in the BPO/SSC sector in the Lubelskie Voivodeship. This article presents selected companies from the BPO/SSC sector Lublin. The said city has an opportunity to attract foreign investments from the BPO/SSC sector owing to the cost competitiveness and relatively high quality of human resources. The cit of Lublin should, in an appropriate way, create a portfolio of the investments realized in the sector of BPO/SCC that will attract investors in the said sector.
Das Mittelwürm in Mitteleuropa und angrenzenden Gebieten

description: Das mittelwürmzeitliche „Interstadial W I/II" spielt besonders in der urgeschichtlichen Literatur seit 1931 im Gegensatz zu der quartärgeologischen eine große Rolle. Zahlreiche mit der C14-Methode bzw. Sedimentanalyse datierte Schichten verschiedenartiger spätpleistozäner Ablagerungen sind im Mittelwürm zwischen ca. 50000 und 30000 B.P. fast durchweg interstadial; in ca. 10 terrassenmorphologisch datierten Würm-Lößpaketen kommt eine mittelwürmzeitliche und eine ganz schwache spätwürmzeitliche Verlehmungszone vor. Diese Fakten beweisen die Realität eines interpleniglazialen Mittelwürms zwischen dem ersten und dem zweiten Kältemaximum im Altwürm und Jungwürm. Das Klima im Mittelwürm war im Durchschnitt ziemlich kühl mit wärmeren und kälteren Abschnitten. Das horizontale Wachstum des Würm-Eises in den Alpen und des Weichseleises im Norden war in dieser Zeit unterbrochen, das Inlandeis stagnierte, die Eisfronten oszillierten mehr oder weniger weit. Am Ende des Mittelwürms floß das Würm-Eis schließlich über die nördlichen Alpenpässe ins Vorland und das Weichsel-Eis im Norden aus dem Ostsee-Becken heraus, beide bis zu ihren äußeren Jungendmoränen (Jungwürm). In Mitteleuropa scheidet das Mittelwürm das Mittel- und Jungpaläolithikum. Ins Mittelwürm ist bisher vielfach die Verlehmungszone im Löß bei Göttweig (Niederösterreich) als bekannteste Bildung dieser Zeit gestellt worden; mit ihr ist im dreifachen Stillfried A-Komplex fossiler Böden im Löß sehr arider Gebiete (östl. Niederösterreich und CSSR) die basale Verlehmungszone parallelisiert worden. In den letzten Jahren haben verschiedene Untersuchungsmethoden in Unter-Wisternitz und 1963 in Niederösterreich palynologische diese Verlehmungszone als letztinterglazial (R/W) festgestellt. Für die ebenfalls nicht terrassenmorphologisch datierbare namengebende einfache Verlehmungszone bei Göttweig ist das noch nicht nachgewiesen. Unter diesen Umständen muß für das Mittelwürm der Name „Göttweiger Interstadial" (F. E. Zeuner) durch einen anderen ersetzt werden, etwa „ Würm-Interpleniglazial".

description: Dr. Imran Ali discusses the severe crisis facing the global orange industry due to extreme drought, heat stress, and citrus greening disease in Brazil, the world's largest orange juice exporter. This has led to a forecasted 24% drop in Brazil's orange production for the 2024-25 season, the smallest harvest since the late 1980s. Other major orange-growing regions, including Florida, Israel, Spain, and Argentina, are also experiencing declining production. Consequently, the futures price of frozen concentrated orange juice has hit an all-time high. In Australia, which relies heavily on imports from Brazil, local orange growers have mitigated immediate impacts, but a supply crunch is anticipated. The crisis may lead to higher prices for orange juice and other products using orange concentrate. While the situation presents opportunities for Australia's orange industry to increase domestic production and exports, challenges such as rising production costs, labor shortages, and competition from imports persist. Enhanced automation, better market access, and climate resilience are key to the industry's long-term sustainability.

description: Recently, we have derived light-cone sum rules for exclusive B-meson decays into light energetic hadrons from correlation functions within soft-collinear effective theory. In these sum rules the short-distance scale refers to ``hard-collinear'' interactions with virtualities of order Λ_{QCD} m_b. Hard scales (related to virtualities of order m_b^2) are integrated out and enter via external coefficient functions in the sum rule. Soft dynamics is encoded in light-cone distribution amplitudes for the B-meson, which describe both the factorizable and non-factorizable contributions to exclusive B-meson decay amplitudes. Factorization of the correlation function has been verified to one-loop accuracy. Thus, a systematic separation of hard, hard-collinear, and soft dynamics in the heavy-quark limit is possible.

description: The stability of color-flavor locked (CFL) strangelets is studied in the three-flavor Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model. We consider all quark flavors to be massless, for simplicity. By making use of the multiple reflection expansion, we explicitly take into account finite size effects and formulate the thermodynamic potential for CFL strangelets. We find that the CFL gap could be large enough so that the energy per baryon number of CFL strangelets is greatly affected. In addition, if the quark-quark coupling constant is larger than a certain critical value, there is a possibility of finding absolutely stable CFL strangelets.

description: Die Mellendorfer und Brelinger Berge sind ein Teil des großen drenthestadialen Stauch-Endmoränenzuges, der sich von den Niederlanden bis in die Gegend nördlich Braunschweig verfolgen läßt. Die z. T. schon sehr lange bekannten Tonvorkommen bei Meilendorf sind vom Eise verfrachtete Schollen oder Schuppen. Das Einfallen schräggestellter Schichten und das Streichen der Tonschuppen sprechen für einen Eisschub aus ENE, aus W bis WNW und aus N. Das Einfallen schräggestellter Sande und Kiese in den Brelinger Bergen dagegen deutet auf eine Bewegungsrichtung des Eises von N nach S. Mikropaläontologische Untersuchungen haben ergeben, daß in den Tonen der Mellendorfer und Brelinger Berge Foraminiferen der Unterkreide ab Hauterive und auch einzelne der Oberkreide vorkommen. Die nachgewiesenen Schubrichtungen weisen in Gebiete, in denen die entsprechenden alten Schichten der Unterkreide anstehen. Danach haben wir mit Transportwegen von maximal 7—8 km Länge zu rechnen. Die flachwelligen Mellendorfer Berge sind von einer Geschiebelehmdecke überzogen. Nach der Stauchung ist das Eis über sie hinweg nach S vorgestoßen. Sie sind also in einer Vorstoßphase des Drenthestadiums entstanden. Die Brelinger Berge, die sehr frische Oberflächenformen zeigen und denen eine Geschiebelehmdecke fehlt, sind jünger und erst in einer späten, einer Rückzugsphase, entstanden. Das Inlandeis ist nicht mehr über sie hinweggegangen. Insgesamt zeichnen sich im Untersuchungsgebiet 3, vielleicht sogar 4 drenthestadiale Eisvorstöße ab.

description: We investigate stochastic processes possessing scale invariance properties which we refer to as multifractal processes. The examples of such processes known so far do not go much beyond the original cascade construction of Mandelbrot. We provide a new definition of the multifractal process by generalizing the definition of the self-similar process. We establish general properties of these processes and show how existing examples fit into our setting. Finally, we define a new class of examples inspired by the idea of Lamperti transformation. Namely, for any pair of infinitely divisible distribution and a stationary process one can construct a multifractal process.

description: Die Letzte Eiszeit (Würm/Wisconsin) zeigt in Nordamerika und Europa im großen denselben Verlauf. Das machen neue Beobachtungen und C14-Bestimmungen, besonders in den Randzonen der großen Inlandeisgebiete, wahrscheinlich. Auf einen älteren, in sich gegliederten Eisvorstoß zwischen etwa 70 und 50 000 J. v. h. folgte zunächst ein kräftiges Interstadial (Göttweig, Talbot) und darauf ein mittlerer Abschnitt von wechselndem klimatischem Charakter, d. h. mit wärmeren Zeiten (Intervallen und Interstadialen), aber auch mit kälteren, in denen Lößbildung stattfand. Dieser Abschnitt reichte vom Ende des Göttweiger Interstadials (d. h. von rund 43 000 bis etwa 25 000 J. v. h. In einem jüngeren Abschnitt fand ein erneuter, in sich wieder gegliederter Vorstoß statt, der fast überall zur Maximalausdehnung der Letzten Eiszeit führte und dann in Etappen zurückging. Er reichte von rund 25 000 bis rund 10 000 J. v. h. Um diese Zeit ging die entscheidende Erwärmung vor sich, die die Letzte Eiszeit abschloß (wenn auch größere Eisreste diese Erwärmung zunächst noch überdauerten). Die drei Abschnitte der Letzten Eiszeit werden am besten als Alt-, Mittel- und Jungwürm bzw. Alt-, Mittel- und Jungwisconsin bezeichnet.

Tissue-specific cannabinoid production in the immature buds sampled on day 6 after the transition to the short-day that initiated flowering. Three plant tissues including flower, leaf, and stems were used in high pressure liquid chromatography to quantify cannabinoids including cannabigerolic acid, cannabidiolic acid, Δ-tetrahydrocannabinolic acid, cannabigerol, cannabidiol, and Δ-tetrahydrocannabinol. For statistical analyses, a total of 19-24 samples collected from flower, leaf, and stem tissues were compared by one-way ANOVA, followed by Tukey’s multiple comparisons test (***p

description: Analytical solutions to two axisymmetric problems of a penny-shaped crack when an annulus-shaped (model 1) or a disc-shaped (model 2) rigid inclusion of arbitrary profile are embedded into the crack are derived. The problems are governed by integral equations with the Weber--Sonin kernel on two segments. By the Mellin convolution theorem the integral equations associated with the models 1 and 2 reduce to vector Riemann-Hilbert problems with and 3x3 and 2x2 triangular matrix coefficients whose entries consist of meromorphic and of infinite indices exponential functions. Canonical matrices of factorization are derived and the partial indices are computed. Exact representation formulas for the normal stress, the stress intensity factor, and the normal displacement are obtained and the results of numerical tests are reported.

description: In this study we compare the representation of the southern hemisphere midlatitude winter variability in the NCEP-NCAR and ERA40 reanalyses. We use the classical Hayashi spectral technique, recently applied to compare the description of the atmospheric variability in the northern hemisphere on different spectral sub-domains. We test the agreement of the two reanalysis systems in the representation of the atmospheric activity. In the southern hemisphere, even in the satellite period, the assimilated data are relatively scarce, predominately over the oceans, and they provide a weaker constraint to the model dynamics. We find relevant discrepancies in the description of the variability at different spatial and temporal scales. ERA40 is generally characterised by a larger variance, especially in the high frequency spectral region. In the pre-satellite period the discrepancies between the two reanalyses are large and randomly distributed while after the 1979 the discrepancies are systematic. Moreover, a sudden jump in the VTPR period (1973-1978) is observed, mostly in the ERA40 reanalysis. Our results suggest that today we do not have a well-defined picture of the properties of the winter mid-latitude variability in the southern hemisphere to be used in the evaluation of the realism of climate models and demand for an intercomparison study for the assessment of the self-consistency of the IPCC models in the representation of the analysed properties.

Pleistocene crees in Cyrenaica (Libya)

Publisher: name: Geozon Science Media
Year: 1963

description: Nord-Cyrenaika besteht aus einem Gebiet von Kalksteinhügeln, welche von tiefen und schmalen Tälern durchsetzt sind. Auf den Abhängen dieser Täler finden sich Schuttdecken zweierlei Alters, wovon die älteren festverkittet und mit terrassiertem Kies wechsellagern, während die jüngeren nicht verfestigt sind und keine zugeordneten Terrassen haben. Beide Schichten können archäologisch mit der Schichtfolge in der Haua Fteah-Höhle korreliert werden, wo Higgs (1961) eine klimatische Folge nachgewiesen hat. Es wurde gefunden, daß die beiden Schichten zwei sukzessiven kalten Zeiten des Spätpleistozäns entsprechen. Die Gerölle werden dem Spaltenfrost zugeschrieben, welch letzterer daher mittelbar für die terrassierten Kiese verantwortlich wäre. Es wird versucht, diese Resultate als abhängig von Temperatur und Niederschlag zu erklären.

description: The structure of $k$-diametral point configurations in Minkowski $d$-space is shown to be closely related to the properties of $k$-antipodal point configurations in $\mathbb{R}^d$. In particular, the maximum size of $k$-diametral point configurations of Minkowski $d$-spaces is obtained for given $k\geq 2$ and $d\geq 2$ generalizing Petty's results (Proc. Am. Math. Soc. 29: 369-374, 1971) on equilateral sets in Minkowski spaces. Furthermore, bounds are derived for the maximum size of $k$-diametral point configurations in Euclidean $d$-space. In the proofs convexity methods are combined with volumetric estimates and combinatorial properties of diameter graphs.

The Small Scale Anisotropies, the Spectrum and the Sources of Ultra High Energy Cosmic Rays

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: We calculate the number density and luminosity of the sources of ultra high energy cosmic rays (UHECRs), using the information about the small scale anisotropies and the observed spectra. We find that the number of doublets and triplets observed by AGASA can be best reproduced for a source density of $\sim 10^{-5} Mpc^{-3}$, with large uncertainties. The spectrum of UHECRs implies an energy input of $\sim 6\times 10^{44} erg yr^{-1} Mpc^{-3}$ above $10^{19}$ eV and an injection spectrum $\propto E^{-2.6}$. A flatter injection spectrum, $E^{-2.4}$, can be adopted if the sources have luminosity evolution $\propto (1+z)^4$. The combination of these two pieces of information suggests that the single sources should on average have a cosmic ray luminosity above $10^{19}$ eV of $L_{source}\approx 2\times 10^{42} erg s^{-1}$, weakly dependent upon the injection spectrum. Unfortunately, with the limited statistics of events available at present, there are approximately one-two orders of magnitude uncertainty in the source density provided above. We make predictions on the expected performances of the Auger and EUSO experiments, with particular attention for the expected improvements in our understanding of the nature of the sources of UHECRs. We find that a critical experimental exposure $Σ_c$ exists, such that experiments with exposure larger than $Σ_c$ can detect at least one event from each source at energies above $10^{20}$ eV. This represents a unique opportunity to directly count and identify the sources of UHECRs.

Chiral Luttinger liquids in graphene tuned by irradiation

description: We show that chiral co-propagating Luttinger liquids can be created and tuned by shining high frequency, circularly polarized light, normal to the layers, with different polarizations on two sections of bilayer graphene. By virtue of the broken time-reversal symmetry and the resulting mismatch of Chern number, the one-dimensional chiral modes are localized along the domain wall where the polarization changes. Single layer graphene hosts a single chiral edge mode near each Dirac node, whereas in bilayer graphene, there are two chiral modes near each of the Dirac nodes. These modes, under a high-frequency drive, essentially have a static charge distribution and form a chiral Luttinger liquid under Coulomb interaction, which can be tuned by means of the driving parameters. We also note that unlike the Luttinger liquids created by electrostatic confinement in bilayer graphene, here there is no back-scattering, and hence our wires along the node are stable to disorder.
