description: With a two-dimensional (2D) optical mask, nanoscale patterns are created for the first time in an atom lithography process using metastable helium atoms. The internal energy of the atoms is used to locally damage a hydrofobic resist layer, which is removed in a wet etching process. Experiments have been performed with several polarizations for the optical mask, resulting in different intensity patterns, and corresponding nanoscale structures. The results for a linear polarized light field show an array of holes with a diameter of 260 nm, in agreement with a computed pattern. With a circularly polarized light field a line pattern is observed with a spacing of 766 nm. Simulations taking into account many possible experimental imperfections can not explain this pattern.

description: The current study developed a strategy to recycle the acid-pretreated hydrolyzate for multiple pretreatments of rice straw to increase the soluble sugar content in the medium, thereby enhancing bioethanol conversion. This process recovered a maximum glucose concentration of 10.4 g/L and xylose: 44.5 g/L in the recycled acid-pretreated rice straw hydrolyzate obtained after the third pretreatment. This resulted in a 2.4-fold increase in glucose recovery and a 2.3-fold increase in xylose recovery compared to the initial pretreatment process. For both glucose and xylose conversion strategies, a co-culture of hexose fermenting S. cerevisiae and P. stipitis, capable of fermenting both pentose and hexoses was employed. The maximum bioethanol titer achieved from the co-culture of S. cerevisiae and P. stipitis was 11.29 g/L. However, applying a sequential culture approach of S. cerevisiae followed by P. stipitis with an intermediate heat inactivation at 50°C resulted in an improvement of bioethanol titer to 12.39 g/L with productivity of 0.258 g/L/h. This led to an improvement in 2.9-fold and 1.2-fold bioethanol titer in comparison to sole fermentation by S. cerevisiae and P. stipitis, respectively. The reuse of acid pretreated hydrolyzate for high recovery of soluble sugar and subsequent fermentation by sequential culture strategy can maximize lignocellulosic bioethanol production.

description: Magnetic resonance force microscopy (MRFM) is a scanning probe technique capable of detecting MRI signals from nanoscale sample volumes, providing a paradigm-changing potential for structural biology and medical research. Thus far, however, experiments have not reached suffcient spatial resolution for retrieving meaningful structural information from samples. In this work, we report MRFM imaging scans demonstrating a resolution of 0.9 nm and a localization precision of 0.6 nm in one dimension. Our progress is enabled by an improved spin excitation protocol furnishing us with sharp spatial control on the MRFM imaging slice, combined with overall advances in instrument stability. From a modeling of the slice function, we expect that our arrangement supports spatial resolutions down to 0.3 nm given suffcient signal-to-noise ratio. Our experiment demonstrates the feasibility of sub-nanometer MRI and realizes an important milestone towards the three-dimensional imaging of macromolecular structures.

description: We show that the effective actions of D-brane and M-brane are solutions to the Hamilton-Jacobi (H-J) equations in supergravities. This fact means that these effective actions are on-shell actions in supergravities. These solutions to the H-J equations reproduce the supergravity solutions that represent D-branes in a $B_2$ field, M2 branes and the M2-M5 bound states. The effective actions in these solutions are those of a probe D-brane and a probe M-brane. Our findings can be applied to the study of the gauge/gravity correspondence, especially the holographic renormalization group, and a search for new solutions of supergravity.

description: It is likely that climate change will be associated with reductions in inflows of water to the Murray–Darling Basin In this paper, we analyse the effects of climate change in the Murray–Darling Basin, using a simulation model that incorporates a state-contingent representation of uncertainty. The severity of the impact depends, in large measure, on the extent to which climate change is manifested as an increase in the frequency of drought conditions. Adaptation will partially offset the adverse impact of climate change.

description: We matched the astrometry of central stars (CSs) of spectroscopically-confirmed Galactic planetary nebulae (PNe) with DR2 Gaia parallaxes ($p$), finding 430 targets in common with $p>0$ and $|σ_{\rm p}/p|<1$. A catalog of PNe whose CSs have DR2 Gaia parallaxes is presented in Table 1. We compared DR2 parallaxes with those in the literature, finding a good correlation between the two samples. We used PNe parallaxes to calibrate the Galactic PN distance scale. Restricting the sample to objects with 20$\%$ parallax accuracy, we derive the distance scale ${\rm log}(R_{\rm pc})=-(0.226\pm0.0155)\times{\rm log}(S_{\rm Hβ})-(3.920\pm0.215)$, which represents a notable improvement with respect to previous ones. We found that the ionized mass vs. optical thickness distance scale for Galactic PNe is not as well constrained by the Gaia calibrators, but gives important insight on the nature of the PNe, and is essential to define the domain for our distance scale application. We placed the CSs whose distance has been determined directly by parallax on the HR diagram, and found that their location on the post-AGB H-burning evolutionary tracks is typical for post-AGB stars.

description: Though about one-third of farmland is subject to urban influences, little is known about how changes in urban land markets affect farmland values. This paper identifies the impact of the recent residential housing market bust and subsequent economic recession on farmland values, using parcel-level farmland sales data from 2001-2010 for a 50-county region under urbanization pressure in Western Ohio. Our estimates from hedonic regressions reveal that farmland was not immune to the residential housing bust; the portion of farmland value attributable to urban demands for developable land was almost completely wiped out shortly after the housing market bust in 2009-2010.
Type Ia supernovae in dense circumstellar gas
Creators: name: Chugai, N. N.

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

description: We propose a simple model for the bolometric light curve of type Ia supernova exploding in a dense circumstellar (CS) envelope to describe the light curves of supernovae 2002ic and 1997cy. The modeling shows that at the radius $\sim7\times10^{15}$ cm the density of CS envelopes around both supernovae is similar. The mass of the CS envelope around SN 1997cy is close to $5 M_{\odot}$, while the characteristic time of the ejection of this envelope does not exceed 600 yr. We analyze two possible evolutionary scenarios which might lead to the explosion of type Ia supernova inside a dense CS envelope: accretion on CO white dwarf in the symbiotic binary and evolution of a single star with the initial mass of about $8 M_{\odot}$. If the conjecture about the explosion of type Ia supernova in a dense CS envelope is correct in the case of SN 2002ic and SN 1997cy then the rapid loss of the red supergiant envelope and the subsequent explosion of the CO white dwarf are synchronized by certain mechanism. This mechanism might be related to the contraction of the white dwarf as it approaches the Chandrasekhar limit. We show that formation of a (super)Chandrasekhar mass due to the merger of a CO white dwarf and CO core of a red supergiant with consequent explosion is unlikely, since it does not provide the required synchronization of the rapid mass loss and explosion.

description: Cardiac left ventricle (LV) quantification provides a tool for diagnosing cardiac diseases. Automatic calculation of all relevant LV indices from cardiac MR images is an intricate task due to large variations among patients and deformation during the cardiac cycle. Typical methods are based on segmentation of the myocardium or direct regression from MR images. To consider cardiac motion and deformation, recurrent neural networks and spatio-temporal convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have been proposed. We study an approach combining state-of-the-art models and emphasizing transfer learning to account for the small dataset provided for the LVQuan19 challenge. We compare 2D spatial and 3D spatio-temporal CNNs for LV indices regression and cardiac phase classification. To incorporate segmentation information, we propose an architecture-independent segmentation-based regularization. To improve the robustness further, we employ a search scheme that identifies the optimal ensemble from a set of architecture variants. Evaluating on the LVQuan19 Challenge training dataset with 5-fold cross-validation, we achieve mean absolute errors of 111 +- 76mm^2, 1.84 +- 0.9mm and 1.22 +- 0.6mm for area, dimension and regional wall thickness regression, respectively. The error rate for cardiac phase classification is 6.7%.

description: We report the discovery of five very cool white dwarfs in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). Four are ultracool, exhibiting strong collision induced absorption (CIA) from molecular hydrogen and are similar in color to the three previously known coolest white dwarfs, SDSS J1337+00, LHS 3250 and LHS 1402. The fifth, an ultracool white dwarf candidate, shows milder CIA flux suppression and has a color and spectral shape similar to WD 0346+246. All five new white dwarfs are faint (g > 18.9) and have significant proper motions. One of the new ultracool white dwarfs, SDSS J0947, appears to be in a binary system with a slightly warmer (T_{eff} ~ 5000K) white dwarf companion.

description: To improve the ignition quality of RP-3 kerosene as a single fuel for application in direct injection diesel engines, the effect of ignition improvers and exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) on the ignition and emission of RP-3 fuel was investigated. The ignition delays of three sets of fuels, pure RP-3, 1,2-dimethoxyethane(1,2-DME)/RP-3, and 2-ethylhexyl nitrate(2-EHN)/RP-3, were measured experimentally in a constant volume combustion chamber. The exhaust emissions (CO, CO2, HC, and NOx) were measured under different operating conditions, and the effect of EGR was evaluated. The kinetic analysis was performed by merging a new model. The results showed that the ignition delay of pure RP-3 fuel was shortened by 22.4% on average as the ambient pressure varied from 2.2 MPa to 4 MPa. 2-EHN promoted RP-3 ignition more effectively than 1,2-DME. The introduction of EGR in low-temperature and low-pressure conditions is more favorable for shortening the ignition delay. The addition of ignition improvers weakens the effect of EGR on ignition. Lower ambient pressures bring higher levels of emissions. 2-EHN has a more significant positive effect than 1,2-DME to reduce HC and CO emissions. 1,2-DME-doped fuels are prone to bring about a spike in NOx under high ambient temperatures. Kinetic analysis reveals that 2-EHN has a more significant effect on the first stage of ignition. For 1,2-DME/RP-3, the OH radical formation pathway is enriched with more low-temperature branched chain reactions originating.

description: Configurational, or Eshelby-like, forces are shown to strongly influence the nonlinear dynamics of an elastic rod constrained with a frictionless sliding sleeve at one end and with an attached mass at the other end. The configurational force, generated at the sliding sleeve constraint and proportional to the square of the bending moment realized there, has been so far investigated only under quasi-static setting and is now confirmed (through a variational argument) to be present within a dynamic framework. The deep influence of configurational forces on the dynamics is shown both theoretically (through the development of a dynamic nonlinear model in which the rod is treated as a nonlinear spring, obeying the Euler elastica, with negligible inertia) and experimentally (through a specifically designed experimental set-up). During the nonlinear dynamics, the elastic rod may slip alternatively in and out from the sliding sleeve, becoming a sort of nonlinear oscillator displaying a motion eventually ending with the rod completely injected into or completely ejected from the sleeve. The present results may find applications in the dynamics of compliant and extensible devices, for instance, to guide the movement of a retractable and flexible robot arm.

description: Given a contact 3-manifold we consider the problem of when a given function can be realized as the Ricci curvature of a Reeb vector field for the contact structure. We will use topological tools to show that every admissible function can be realized as such Ricci curvature for a singular metric which is an honest compatible metric away from a measure zero set. However, we will see that resolving such singularities depends on contact topological data and is yet to be fully understood.

Accounting for different property right regimes is important because it greatly improve policy assessment. It would indeed possible to determine the direction of change from the current policy. Would it be optimal to tighten a standard or loosen it?

description: Recently, a set of thermodynamic Bethe ansatz equations is proposed by Dorey, Pocklington and Tateo for unitary minimal models perturbed by ϕ_{1,2} or ϕ_{2,1} operator. We examine their results in view of the lattice analogues, dilute A_L models at regime 1 and 2. Taking M_{5,6}+ϕ_{1,2} and M_{3,4}+ϕ_{2,1} as the simplest examples, we will explicitly show that the conjectured TBA equations can be recovered from the lattice model in a scaling limit.

description: Rhizosphere bacterial community studies offer valuable insights into the environmental implications of genetically modified (GM) crops. This study compared the effects of a non-GM maize cultivar, namely Hi-IIA, with those of a herbicide-resistant maize cultivar containing the phosphinothricin N-acetyltransferase gene on the rhizosphere bacterial community across growth stages. 16s rRNA amplicon sequencing and data analysis tools revealed no significant differences in bacterial community composition or diversity between the cultivars. Principal component analysis revealed that differences in community structure were driven by plant growth stages rather than plant type. Polymerase chain reaction analysis was conducted to examine the potential horizontal transfer of the introduced gene from the GM maize to rhizosphere microorganisms; however, the introduced gene was not detected in the soil genomic DNA. Overall, the environmental impact of GM maize, particularly on soil microorganisms, is negligible, and the cultivation of GM maize does not alter significantly the rhizosphere bacterial community.

description: The Murray-Darling Basin faces increasing pressure on water quantity and quality. In 2006-07, salt interception schemes implemented as part of the Murray-Darling Basin Salinity Management strategy removed over 470,000 tonnes of salt from the water supply, reducing the salinity of water flowing to Adelaide by about 200 EC units. However, the costs of salinity mitigation schemes are increasing. With possible continuing declines in average inflows, costs of salinity and salinity mitigation are expected to increase even further in the future. In this paper, a state-contingent model of land and water allocation is used to compare alternative options for salinity mitigation.

Compatible actions in semi-abelian categories

description: The concept of a pair of compatible actions was introduced in the case of groups by Brown and Loday and in the case of Lie algebras by Ellis. In this article we extend it to the context of semi-abelian categories (that satisfy the Smith-is-Huq condition). We give a new construction of the Peiffer product, which specialises to the definitions known for groups and Lie algebras. We use it to prove our main result, on the connection between pairs of compatible actions and pairs of crossed modules over a common base object. We also study the Peiffer product in its own right, in terms of its universal properties, and prove its equivalence with existing definitions in specific cases.

description: Among the many environmental problems facing Australia, the problems of managing the Murray-Darling Basin and of responding to climate change are notable for their complexity, intractability and for the wide range of people and regions affected. Consideration of policy successes and failures in the management of the Murray-Darling Basin may help in the design of a more effective, and cost-effective, response to the problem of climate change

description: Retailers design pricing strategies that can be characterized as a choice of store price format between offering everyday low prices (EDLP) and high / low prices (HILO). EDLP stores set prices which are constant over time, while HILO stores set prices which are higher than EDLP stores on average, but use frequent sales featuring deep discount prices on a smaller set of products. When consumers decide where to shop, they are typically uncertain about retail prices that vary from day to day and place to place. My hypothesis is that a consumer's choice of store price format is driven by attitudes toward the risk involved in basket price variation. To test this hypothesis, I devise a laboratory experiment that consists of two stages. In the first part of the experiment, I use an incentive-compatible lottery choice experiment to identify subjects' risk attitudes. In the second part of the experiment, I use an incentive-compatible choice-based conjoint experiment. My econometric model largely confirms the hypothesis. I find that risk-averse consumers tend to choose EDLP stores while risk-taking consumers HILO stores. Risk-averse consumers may perceive that shopping at HILO stores is risky due to higher price variability and have an incentive to choose EDLP stores. Shopping at EDLP stores may allow consumers to minimize the risk that unplanned purchases of expensive products may increase their basket price. On the other hand, risk-taking consumers prefer HILO stores because they may have a positive probability of finding a product with lower price. The practical implication of the result is that retailers may use store price format as a screening device to attract particular types of consumers. Retailers may design appropriate marketing strategies to their target customers.
Cosmogenic neutrinos and signals of TeV gravity in air showers and neutrino telescopes

description: The existence of extra dimensions allows the possibility that the fundamental scale of gravity is at the TeV. If that is the case, gravity could dominate the interactions of ultra-high energy cosmic rays. In particular, the production of microscopic black holes by cosmogenic neutrinos has been estimated in a number of papers. We consider here gravity-mediated interactions at larger distances, where they can be calculated in the eikonal approximation. We show that for the expected flux of cosmogenic neutrinos these elastic processes give a stronger signal than black hole production in neutrino telescopes. Taking the bounds on the higher dimensional Planck mass M_D (D=4+n) from current air shower experiments, for n=2 (6) elastic collisions could produce up to 118 (34) events per year at IceCube. On the other hand, the absence of any signal would imply a bound of M_D>~5 TeV.

description: The construction of the Snowy Mountains Hydro-electric Scheme in the 1960s resulted in the diversion of 99% of the Snowy River's natural flow into the Murray and Murrumbidgee river systems. In 2000, the NSW, Victorian and Commonwealth governments agreed to restore between 21 per cent and 28 per cent of the natural flow. In this paper, we examine the implications of the Agreement for the value of water use in the Murray-Darling Basin.
A dynamic programming approach to solving constrained linear-quadratic optimal control problems

Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Optimization and Control (math.OC)

description: The solution of a constrained linear-quadratic regulator problem is determined by the set of its optimal active sets. We propose an algorithm that constructs this set of active sets for a desired horizon N from that for horizon N-1. While it is not obvious how to extend the optimal feedback law itself for horizon N-1 to horizon N, a simple relation between the optimal active sets for two successive horizon lengths exists. Specifically, every optimal active set for horizon N is a superset of an optimal active set for horizon N-1 if the constraints are ordered stage by stage. The stagewise treatment results in a favorable computational effort. In addition, it is easy to detect the solution of the current horizon is equal to the infinite-horizon solution, if such a finite horizon exists, with the proposed algorithm.
D-branes in N=2 Liouville and its mirror

description: We study D-branes in the mirror pair N=2 Liouville / supersymmetric SL(2,R)/U(1) coset superconformal field theories. After revisiting the duality between the two models, we build D0, D1 and D2 branes, on the basis of the boundary state construction for the Euclidean AdS(3) conformal field theory. We also construct D0-branes in an orbifold that rotates the angular direction of the cigar. We show how the poles of correlators associated to localized states and bulk interactions naturally decouple in the one-point functions of localized and extended branes. We stress the role played in the analysis of D-brane spectra by primaries in SL(2,R)/U(1) which are descendents of the parent theory.
