Neutron Captures in the r-Process
Creators: name: Rauscher, T.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The r-process involves neutron-rich nuclei far off stability for which no experimental cross sections are known. Therefore, one has to rely on theory. The difficulties in the predictions are briefly addressed. To investigate the impact of altered rates, a comparison of r-process production in hot bubble models with largely varied rates is shown. Due to the (n,gamma)-(gamma,n) equilibrium established at the onset of the r-process, only late-time neutron captures are important which mainly modify the abundances around the third r-process peak.

description: The alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) has been recently recognized as a promising optimizer for large-scale machine learning models. However, there are very few results studying ADMM from the aspect of communication costs, especially jointly with privacy preservation, which are critical for distributed learning. We investigate the communication efficiency and privacy-preservation of ADMM by solving the consensus optimization problem over decentralized networks. Since walk algorithms can reduce communication load, we first propose incremental ADMM (I-ADMM) based on the walk algorithm, the updating order of which follows a Hamiltonian cycle instead. However, I-ADMM cannot guarantee the privacy for agents against external eavesdroppers even if the randomized initialization is applied. To protect privacy for agents, we then propose two privacy-preserving incremental ADMM algorithms, i.e., PI-ADMM1 and PI-ADMM2, where perturbation over step sizes and primal variables is adopted, respectively. Through theoretical analyses, we prove the convergence and privacy preservation for PI-ADMM1, which are further supported by numerical experiments. Besides, simulations demonstrate that the proposed PI-ADMM1 and PI-ADMM2 algorithms are communication efficient compared with state-of-the-art methods.

description: A summary is given of all the fertilizer investigations on corn which have been carried out in Jamaica from 1938 to 1968. A great deal more experimental detail is included than is usual for a review paper, since little published work is available. Investigations by Government, the University of the West Indies and the Fertilizer Industry are grouped according to soil type, which forms the basis for discussion and evaluation. The majority of corn fertilizer trials have been located on the bauxite soils - St-Ann Clay Loam and Chudleigh Clay. However. information is also given for corn fertilizer trials on Deepdene Clay, Wirefence Clay Loam, Brysons Clay Loam, Newell Loam, Carron Hall Clay, Belfield Clay, Caymanas Sandy Loam and Caymanas Clay Loam.

Verifying single-mode nonclassicality beyond negativity in phase space

description: While negativity in phase space is a well-known signature of nonclassicality, a wide variety of nonclassical states require their characterization beyond negativity. We establish a framework of nonclassicality in phase space that addresses nonclassical states comprehensively with a direct experimental evidence. This includes the negativity of phase-space distribution as a special case and further analyzes quantum states with positive distributions effectively. We prove that it detects all nonclassical Gaussian states and all non-Gaussian states of arbitrary dimension remarkably by examining three phase-space points only. Our formalism also provides an experimentally accessible lower bound for a nonclassicality measure based on trace distance. Importantly, this foundational approach can be further adapted to constitute practical tests in two directions looking into particle and wave nature of bosonic systems, via an array of nonideal on-off detectors and coarse-grained homodyne measurement, respectively. All these tests are practically powerful in characterizing nonclasssical states reliably against noise, making a versatile tool for a broad range of quantum systems in quantum technologies.

description: We study the prospects for detecting gamma-rays from Dark Matter (DM) annihilations in enhancements of the DM density (mini-spikes) around intermediate-mass black holes with masses in the range $10^2 \lsim M / \msun \lsim 10^6$. Focusing on two different IMBH formation scenarios, we show that, for typical values of mass and cross section of common DM candidates, mini-spikes, produced by the adiabatic growth of DM around pregalactic IMBHs, would be bright sources of gamma-rays, which could be easily detected with large field-of-view gamma-ray experiments such as GLAST, and further studied with smaller field-of-view, larger-area experiments like Air Cherenkov Telescopes CANGAROO, HESS, MAGIC and VERITAS. The detection of many gamma-ray sources not associated with a luminous component of the Local Group, and with identical cut-offs in their energy spectra at the mass of the DM particle, would provide a potential smoking-gun signature of DM annihilations and shed new light on the nature of intermediate and supermassive Black Holes.

description: Long-range and fast transport of coherent excitons is important for development of high-speed excitonic circuits and quantum computing applications. However, most of these coherent excitons have only been observed in some low-dimensional semiconductors when coupled with cavities, as there are large inhomogeneous broadening and dephasing effects on the exciton transport in their native states of the materials. Here, by confining coherent excitons at the 2D quantum limit, we firstly observed molecular aggregation enabled super-transport of excitons in atomically thin two-dimensional (2D) organic semiconductors between coherent states, with a measured a high effective exciton diffusion coefficient of 346.9 cm2/sec at room temperature. This value is one to several orders of magnitude higher than the reported values from other organic molecular aggregates and low-dimensional inorganic materials. Without coupling to any optical cavities, the monolayer pentacene sample, a very clean 2D quantum system (1.2 nm thick) with high crystallinity (J type aggregation) and minimal interfacial states, showed superradiant emissions from the Frenkel excitons, which was experimentally confirmed by the temperature-dependent photoluminescence (PL) emission, highly enhanced radiative decay rate, significantly narrowed PL peak width and strongly directional in-plane emission. The coherence in monolayer pentacene samples was observed to be delocalized over 135 molecules, which is significantly larger than the values (a few molecules) observed from other organic thin films. In addition, the super-transport of excitons in monolayer pentacene samples showed highly anisotropic behaviour. Our results pave the way for the development of future high-speed excitonic circuits, fast OLEDs, and other opto-electronic devices.

We show that only the Ricci squared quadratic invariant contributes to give a different solution of those found in Einstein's general relativity. The perturbative solution is written as a power series in the $β$ parameter, the coefficient of the Ricci squared term in the quadratic gravitational action. We also show that, for monochromatic waves of a given angular frequency $ω$, the perturbative solution can be summed out to give an exact solution to linearized version of quadratic gravity, for $0

description: The study sets out to estimate the effect of breastfeeding and health knowledge on child mortality and stunting. We used a nationally representative UDHS data of 2011 merged with the community section of the UNHS 2011 in order to bring on board community variables, such as distance to the health facility, that are potential instrumental variables. We employed various techniques; OLS, IV and control function during the analysis. We find that breastfeeding and health knowledge reduce child mortality but not child stunting irrespective of the analytical technique employed. Just as previous literature documents, the OLS estimate of the coefficient on breastfeeding and health knowledge is biased downwards compared to the IV and control function estimates. Government efforts towards sensitizing the masses about the importance of breastfeeding should be strengthened. Additionally, government needs to prioritize health knowledge impartation to women of reproductive age that are no longer in school. Additionally school curricular should be improved to include the impartation of health knowledge to students at an early stage of education in order to mitigate poor child health outcomes for the future generation.

description: This study was carried to find out the impact of PES (Payment for Environmental Services) on the welfare of the communities in the Uluguru Mountains. The aim of the study is to assess the main objectives of the PES project which is to conserve the environment (forest) and reduce poverty. The assessment of the project is done by looking on the difference between the treatment group (those who participate in PES) and control group (households who do not participate). The study employed a combination of questionnaire and field observation to collect primary data together with a detailed review of literature. The study utilized Propensity Score Matching (PSM), Descriptive statistics, Perception and Logistic analysis. In all the methods of analysis the results shows that there is a significant difference in the poverty status between treatment and control groups with treatment groups showing low level of poverty. In the regression analysis it is shown that participation into the programme, age of the respondents, the level of dependence on natural resources are found to significantly reduce poverty.

description: We present a system for performing visual search over billions of aerial and satellite images. The purpose of visual search is to find images that are visually similar to a query image. We define visual similarity using 512 abstract visual features generated by a convolutional neural network that has been trained on aerial and satellite imagery. The features are converted to binary values to reduce data and compute requirements. We employ a hash-based search using Bigtable, a scalable database service from Google Cloud. Searching the continental United States at 1-meter pixel resolution, corresponding to approximately 2 billion images, takes approximately 0.1 seconds. This system enables real-time visual search over the surface of the earth, and an interactive demo is available at https://search.descarteslabs.com.

Refining previous formulas of Wodzicki in the case of odd class elliptic PsiDO's, our main results have several consequence concerning the local independence with respect to the cutting, the regularity at integer points of eta functions and a geometric expression for the spectral asymmetry of Dirac operators which, in particular, yields a new spectral interpretation of the Einstein-Hilbert action in gravity.

description: The irreversible growth of magnetic films is studied in three-dimensional confined geometries of size $L\times L\times M$, where $M\gg L$ is the growing direction. Competing surface magnetic fields, applied to opposite corners of the growing system, lead to the observation of a localization-delocalization (weakly rounded) transition of the interface between domains of up and down spins on the planes transverse to the growing direction. This effective transition is the precursor of a true far-from-equilibrium corner wetting transition that takes place in the thermodynamic limit. The phenomenon is characterized quantitatively by drawing a magnetic field-temperature phase diagram, firstly for a confined sample of finite size, and then by extrapolating results, obtained with samples of different size, to the thermodynamic limit. The results of this work are a nonequilibrium realization of analogous phenomena recently investigated in equilibrium systems, such as corner wetting transitions in the Ising model.

description: Linear typed $λ$-calculi are more delicate than their simply typed siblings when it comes to metatheoretic results like preservation of typing under renaming and substitution. Tracking the usage of variables in contexts places more constraints on how variables may be renamed or substituted. We present a methodology based on linear algebra over semirings, extending McBride's kits and traversals approach for the metatheory of syntax with binding to linear usage-annotated terms. Our approach is readily formalisable, and we have done so in Agda.

description: This study examines the long-run and causal relationship between government spending and economic growth in Lesotho using the ARDL bounds testing procedure for the period 1980 to 2012. Although several studies, have investigated causality between government expenditure and economic growth, none explored differentiating short run and long run causality. The results of our study indicate a stable long-term relationship between government spending and economic growth in Lesotho. However, the Granger causality test shows the direction running from economic growth to government expenditure, confirming Wagner’s Law in Lesotho. In addition, the outcomes of this study fail to support the Keynesian theory. The results highlight the need for policy makers to shift public outlays towards investment in physical infrastructure which will stimulate growth and consequently improve fiscal sustainability as opposed to recurrent expenditure.

COMMENTS
 We found three sheets with P. malacoides no. 1119 (it was misprinted in number “119” in the protologue), and with date ‘ 29 mars 1884 ’ (P04544267, P04544285, P04544286) and one without date, but with no. 1119, collected by Delavay. Herbarium specimens with “no. 312” were collected on another date or have no date on the labels. All of them are syntypes. According to Art. 9 and Rec. 9A of the ICN (Turland et al. 2018) among syntypes one of the herbarium specimens may be chosen as lectotype. We chose as lectotype specimens with handwritten text of label more correspond to the protologue.
REMARK
 We suggest that P04544286 and P04544287 are the same gathering, because these specimens were collected in the same locality (garden of M. Le Guilcher) and at the same date. And on P04544286, we have the impression that “ Primula, fl. roses, no. 1119” was added further.

description: We recall the root game, introduced in an earlier paper, which gives a fairly powerful sufficient condition for non-vanishing of Schubert calculus on a generalised flag manifold G/B. We show that it gives a necessary and sufficient rule for non-vanishing of Schubert calculus on Grassmannians. In particular, a Littlewood-Richardson number is non-zero if and only if it is possible to win the corresponding root game. More generally, the rule can be used to determine whether or not a product of several Schubert classes on Gr_l(n) is non-zero in a manifestly symmetric way. Finally, we give a geometric interpretation of root games for Grassmannian Schubert problems.

description: $0^+$, $1^-$, $2^+$, and $3^-$ excitations of $^{28}\textrm{Si}$ are investigated via proton and $α$ inelastic scattering off $^{28}\textrm{Si}$. The structure calculation of $^{28}\textrm{Si}$ is performed with the energy variation after total angular momentum and parity projections in the framework of antisymmetrized molecular dynamics (AMD). As a result of the AMD calculation, the oblate ground and prolate bands, $0^+$ and $3^-$ excitations, and the $1^-$ and $3^-$ states of the $K^π=0^-$ band are obtained. Using the matter and transition densities of $^{28}\textrm{Si}$ obtained by AMD, microscopic coupled-channel calculations of proton and $α$ scattering off $^{28}\textrm{Si}$ are performed. The proton-$^{28}\textrm{Si}$ potentials in the reaction calculation are microscopically derived by folding the Melbourne $g$-matrix $NN$ interaction with the AMD densities of $^{28}\textrm{Si}$. The $α$-$^{28}\textrm{Si}$ potentials are obtained by folding the nucleon-$^{28}\textrm{Si}$ potentials with an $α$ density. The calculation reasonably reproduces the observed elastic and inelastic cross sections of proton and $α$ scattering. Transition properties are discussed by combining the reaction analysis of proton and $α$ scattering and structure features such as transition strengths and form factors. The isoscalar monopole and dipole transitions are focused.

description: Cet article examine le marché et la réglementation des pesticides1 en Guinée. En tant que membre du CILSS2, de la CEDEAO3 et un des quatre pays du projet HIP4, la Guinée s’est engagée à créer des institutions nationales réglementaires nécessaires pour mettre en œuvre le règlement communautaire des pesticides prévu dans la région de l’Afrique de l’Ouest. Cette étude fait l’état des lieux des progrès réalisés jusqu'à présent dans l’application au niveau de la Guinée de ces politiques régionales des pesticides mutuellement convenues. Faisant partie des sept pays retenus pour des études de cas comparatives, ce travail vise à explorer les raisons de l’inégalité dans la mise en œuvre des politiques régionales sur les pesticides.5

description: The measurement of neutrino oscillations and exotic physics searches are important parts of the physics program in the near future, with new state-of-the-art experiments planned within the next decade. Future and modern experiments in these fields will make use of nuclear targets. Event Generators (EGs) are software used in the analysis of neutrino oscillation experiments. EGs use to predict kinematic observables for a range of neutrino energies. These simulations may lack physics captured by more rigorous theoretical calculations. This work compares EG performance to nuclear theory calculations by comparing observables generated in the two frameworks. We provide a common set of definitions between theory and experiment and assess the physics contained in EG simulations. Neutral current quasi-elastic (NCQE) scattering events for neutrinos and anti-neutrinos on a $^{12}$C target are simulated with a specific EG, NEUT, used by the T2K experiment for its analysis. The simulated cross sections are compared to analytic calculations from nuclear theory within the factorization scheme. We compare the NEUT implementation of two different models on nuclear spectral functions: the Relativistic Fermi Gas (RFG) and the correlated basis spectral function (CBF) to analytic calculations of the same models in the factorization scheme. For both nuclear physics models, we compare the appearance of features in the distributions relevant to experimental analyses. Qualitatively, the shape of the simulated distribution is similar to the one obtained through theory calculations; however, there are some discrepancies between the theory calculations and the NEUT simulation. While the EG simulations and analytic calculations with the same model of nuclear dynamics show similar overall features, there are still differences between the two.

description: The notion of phase plays an esential role in both classical and quantum mechanics.But what is a phase? We show that if we define the notion of phase in phase (!) space one can very easily and naturally recover the Heisenberg-Weyl formalism; this is achieved using the properties of the Poincare-Cartan invariant, and without making any quantum assumption.
Approach to the extremal limit of the Schwarzschild-de Sitter black hole

description: The quasinormal-mode spectrum of the Schwarzschild-de Sitter black hole is studied in the limit of near-equal black-hole and cosmological radii. It is found that the mode_frequencies_ agree with the P"oschl-Teller approximation to one more order than previously realized, even though the effective_potential_ does not. Whether the spectrum approaches the limiting one uniformly in the mode index is seen to depend on the chosen units (to the order investigated). A perturbation framework is set up, in which these issues can be studied to higher order in future.

description: This paper examines the pesticide1 market and its regulatory framework in the Gambia in relation to regional pesticide policies and markets. In 1974, the Gambia became a member of the Permanent Interstate Committee for Drought Control in the Sahel (Comité permanent Inter-Etats de Lutte contre la Sécheresse dans le Sahel {CILSS}), and thereby committed to implementing its regulations.2 The CILSS was created in 1973 in response to the devastating drought in the Sahel, and has since produced regulations on pesticides.3 In addition, the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) also has regulations on pesticides and the Gambia is a Member State. How these regulations have been implemented in the Gambia is important in determining the level of progress made achieving even implementation of mutually-agreed upon regional pesticide policies. As part of a sevencountry set of comparative case studies, this work collectively aims to explore the reasons for uneven rates of country implementation of regional agricultural input policies.

The Diverse Infrared Properties of a Complete Sample of Star-Forming Dwarf Galaxies

description: We present mid-infrared Spitzer Space Telescope observations of a complete sample of star-forming dwarf galaxies selected from the KPNO International Spectroscopic Survey. The galaxies span a wide range in mid-infrared properties. Contrary to expectations, some of the galaxies emit strongly at 8 micron indicating the presence of hot dust and/or PAHs. The ratio of this mid-infrared dust emission to the stellar emission is compared with the galaxies' luminosity, star-formation rate, metallicity, and optical reddening. We find that the strength of the 8.0 micron dust emission to the stellar emission ratio is more strongly correlated with the star-formation rate than it is with the metallicity or the optical reddening in these systems. Nonetheless, there is a correlation between the 8.0 micron luminosity and metallicity. The slope of this luminosity-metallicity correlation is shallower than corresponding ones in the B-band and 3.6 micron. The precise nature of the 8.0 micron emission seen in these galaxies (i.e., PAH versus hot dust or some combination of the two) will require future study, including deep mid-IR spectroscopy.

description: A new generalized function space in which all Gelfand-Shilov classes $S^{\prime 0}_α$ ($α>1$) of analytic functionals are embedded is introduced. This space of {\it ultrafunctionals} does not possess a natural nontrivial topology and cannot be obtained via duality from any test function space. A canonical isomorphism between the spaces of hyperfunctions and ultrafunctionals on $R^k$ is constructed that extends the Fourier transformation of Roumieu-type ultradistributions and is naturally interpreted as the Fourier transformation of hyperfunctions. The notion of carrier cone that replaces the notion of support of a generalized function for ultrafunctionals is proposed. A Paley-Wiener-Schwartz-type theorem describing the Laplace transformation of ultrafunctionals carried by proper convex closed cones is obtained and the connection between the Laplace and Fourier transformation is established.

description: This paper examines pesticide1 markets and regulations in Ghana. This study explores progress to date in Ghana’s country-level implementation of ECOWAS regional pesticide policies. As part of a seven-country set of comparative case studies, this work collectively aims to explore the reasons for uneven rates of country implementation of regional agricultural input policies. West African countries have long recognized their strong regional interdependencies in agricultural and food markets. For many centuries, long distance trading routes have linked different agro-ecological zones within the region. In more recent years, cross-border movements of people, livestock, farm inputs and outputs have underscored the importance of regional interdependencies for ensuring food security.
Accelerating Universe in a Big Bounce Model

description: Recent observations of Type Ia supernovae provide evidence for the acceleration of our universe, which leads to the possibility that the universe is entering an inflationary epoch. We simulate it under a ``big bounce'' model, which contains a time variable cosmological ``constant'' that is derived from a higher dimension and manifests itself in 4D spacetime as dark energy. By properly choosing the two arbitrary functions contained in the model, we obtain a simple exact solution in which the evolution of the universe is divided into several stages. Before the big bounce, the universe contracts from a $Λ$-dominated vacuum, and after the bounce, the universe expands. In the early time after the bounce, the expansion of the universe is decelerating. In the late time after the bounce, dark energy (i.e., the variable cosmological ``constant'') overtakes dark matter and baryons, and the expansion enters an accelerating stage. When time tends to infinity, the contribution of dark energy tends to two third of the total energy density of the universe, qualitatively in agreement with observations.
