description: We present an analysis of the RXTE observations of 4U 1630-47 during its outburst of 1998. The light curve and the spectral evolution of the outburst were distinctly different from the outbursts of the same source in 1996 and in 1999. Special emphasis of our analysis was on the observations taken during the initial rise of the flux and during the maximum of the outburst. The maximum of the outburst was divided into three plateaus, with almost constant flux within each plateau, and fast jumps between them. The spectral and timing parameters are stable for each individual plateau, but distinctly different between the plateaus. The variability detected on the first plateau is of special interest. During these observations the source exhibits quasi-regular modulations with period of ~10 - 20 s. Our analysis revealed significant differences in spectral and temporal behavior of the source at high and low fluxes during this period of time. The source behavior can be generally explained in the framework of the two-phase model of the accretion flow, involving a hot inner comptonization region and surrounding optically thick disk. The variability and spectral evolution of the source were similar to what was observed earlier for other X-ray Novae. We show that 4U 1630-47 has a variety of properties which are typical for Galactic black hole binaries, both transient and persistent. We argue that this system may be an intermediate case between different groups of black hole candidates.

description: Hybrid polymer-plasmonic nanostructures might combine high enhancement of localized fields from metal nanoparticles with light confinement and long-range transport in subwavelength dielectric structures. Here we report on the complex behavior of fluorophores coupling to Au nanoparticles within polymer nanowires, which features localized metal-enhanced fluorescence (MEF) with unique characteristics compared to conventional structures. The intensification effect when the particle is placed in the organic filaments is remarkably higher with respect to thin films of comparable thickness, thus highlighting a specific, nanowire-related enhancement of MEF effects. A dependence on the confinement volume in the dielectric nanowire is also evidenced, with MEF significantly increasing upon reducing the wire diameter. These findings are rationalized by finite element simulations, predicting a position-dependent enhancement of the quantum yield of fluorophores embedded in the fibers. Calculation of the ensemble-averaged fluorescence enhancement unveils the possibility of strongly enhancing the overall emission intensity for structures with size twice the diameter of the embedded metal particles. These new, hybrid fluorescent systems with localized enhanced emission, as well as the general Nanowire-Intensified MEF effect associated to them, are highly relevant for developing nanoscale light-emitting devices with high efficiency and inter-coupled through nanofiber networks, highly sensitive optical sensors, and novel laser architectures.

description: In this paper the low energy limit of the BESS model is studied in a systematic way. The method consists in eliminating the heavy vector field, by use of its classical equations of motion, in the infinite mass limit. After the elimination of the heavy degrees of freedom we get additional terms to the Standard Model lagrangian. After a finite renormalization of the ordinary gauge bosons wave functions, and redefinition of the lagrangian couplings in terms of $M_Z$, the fine structure constant and the Fermi constant, we can read directly the deviations from the Standard Model. By this procedure we can extend a result previously derived to the case in which the heavy vector bosons have a direct coupling to fermions. Consequences for the anomalous trilinear couplings are discussed.

Year: 2017

description: This paper tests the effects of Aid from 14 OECD donor economies on bilateral asylum seeker inflows from 113 developing countries during 1993-2013. Results are that Aid affects asylum seeker inflows nonlinearly in the pc income of the origin country, in a ?U? shaped fashion, with a turning point at 9,150 pcGDP, PPP2011$. Aid has also cross-donor negative spillovers and regional effects. Overall, deterring effects concern especially Sub Saharan countries. Moreover, Aid does not influence bilateral voluntary migration. Making Aid transfers conditional on improvements in political and economic institutions in recipient countries can strengthen their effects on asylum seeker inflows.
Morphing the CMB: a technique for interpolating power spectra

Year: 1999
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The confrontation of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) theoretical angular power spectrum with available data often requires the calculation of large numbers of power spectra. The standard practice is to use a fast code to compute the CMB power spectra over some large parameter space, in order to estimate likelihoods and constrain these parameters. But as the dimensionality of the space under study increases, then even with relatively fast anisotropy codes, the computation can become prohibitive. This paper describes the employment of a "morphing" strategy to interpolate new power spectra based on previously calculated ones. We simply present the basic idea here, and illustrate with a few examples; optimization of interpolation schemes will depend on the specific application. In addition to facilitating the exploration of large parameter spaces, this morphing technique may be helpful for Fisher matrix calculations involving derivatives.

description: We present a half-life formalism for describing the disruption of gravitationally-bound few-body systems, with a focus on binary-binary scattering. For negative total encounter energies, the four-body problem has three possible decay products in the point particle limit. For each decay product and a given set of initial conditions, we obtain directly from numerical scattering simulations the half-life for the distribution of disruption times. As in radioactive decay, the half-lives should provide a direct prediction for the relative fractions of each decay product. We test this prediction with simulated data and find good agreement with our hypothesis. We briefly discuss applications of this feature of the gravitational four-body problem to populations of black holes in globular clusters. This paper, the second in the series, builds on extending the remarkable similarity between gravitational chaos at the macroscopic scale and radioactive decay at the microscopic scale to larger-N systems.

description: Numerical simulations of structure formation have suggested that there exists a good correlation between the halo concentration c (or the characteristic density delta_c) and the virial mass Mvir for any virialized dark halo described by the Navarro, Frenk & White (1995) density profile. In this Letter, we present an observational determination of the c-Mvir (or delta_c-Mvir) relation in the mass range of 10^14< Mvir <10^16 (solar mass) using a sample of 63 X-ray luminous clusters. The best-fit power law relation, which is roughly independent of the values of Omega_M and Lambda, is c propto Mvir^(-0.5) or delta_c propto Mvir^(-1.2), indicating n=-0.7 for a scale-free power spectrum of the primordial density fluctuations. We discuss the possible reasons for the conflict with the predictions by typical CDM models such as SCDM, LCDM and OCDM.

description: Introduction: Thymosin beta 4 (Tβ4) has important applications in ocular repair and Phase 3 clinical trials using Tβ4 to treat dry eye and neurotrophic keratopathy are currently ongoing. These exciting clinical possibilities for Tβ4 in the eye are the result of seminal basic scientific discoveries and contributions from so many talented investigators. Areas covered: My personal Tβ4 journey began at the NIH in 1998 and propelled my career as a clinician scientist. As a tribute to the amazing individuals who have guided and supported me along with my brilliant colleagues and students who have contributed and collaborated with me over the years, this review will tell the cumulative story of how Tβ4 became a major potential new therapy for corneal wound healing disorders. The journey has been marked by the thrilling exhilaration from fundamental breakthroughs in the laboratory and clinic, combined with the challenging and often harsh realities of submitting grants and obtaining funding. Expert opinion: The electrifying possibility of Tβ4 as a revolutionary novel dry eye therapy is something that could have only been dreamed about just a few years ago. We believe that Tβ4 eyedrops will help many patients suffering from several ocular surface related disorders.

We propose a causal quantum theory with a joint probability distribution such that the separate probability distributions for position and momentum agree with usual quantum theory. Unlike the Wigner distribution the suggested distribution is positive definite and obeys the Liouville condition.

description: The topological valley Hall effect was predicted as a consequence of the bulk topology of electronic systems. Now it has been observed in photonic crystals, showing that both topology and valley are innate to classical as well as quantum systems. The discovery of counterflow in opposite valleys not only demonstrates that the valley can be a novel carrier of information and energy --- particularly valuable for systems without charge and spin --- but also exemplifies that symmetry-protected band topology can be universal to both quantum and classical systems.

description: A review of the MOA (Microlensing Observations in Astrophysics) project is presented. MOA is a collaboration of approximately 30 astronomers from New Zealand and Japan established with the aim of finding and detecting microlensing events towards the Magellanic Clouds and the Galactic bulge, which may be indicative of either dark matter or of planetary companions. The observing program commenced in 1995, using very wide band blue and red filters and a nine-chip mosaic CCD camera. As a by-product of these observations a large database of CCD photometry for 1.4 million stars towards both LMC and SMC has been established. In one preliminary analysis 576 bright variable stars were confirmed, nearly half of them being Cepheids. Another analysis has identified large numbers of blue variables, and 205 eclipsing binaries are included in this sample. In addition 351 red variables (AGB stars) have been found. Light curves have been obtained for all these stars. The observations are carried out on a 61-cm f/6.25 telescope at Mt John University Observatory where a new larger CCD camera was installed in 1998 July. From this latitude (44 S) the Magellanic Clouds can be monitored throughout the year.

description: The Extended Quantum Molecular Dynamics (EQMD) model is one of the few QMD-like transport approaches that can describe the $α$-clustering structure with efficient computational power. However, compared to most QMD-like models, the choice of equation of state (EOS) for nuclear matter is very limited. In this work, a Monte Carlo integral method is employed to calculate the density integration with non-integer exponent. We demonstrate the superiority of our approach by studying the isovector giant dipole resonance (IVGDR). This improvement will be beneficial for the EQMD model to study more valuable effects for heavy ion collisions in the near future.

description: We present HI observations of the galaxies in the first list of the Karachentsev catalog of previously unknown nearby dwarf galaxies (Karachentseva & Karachentsev 1998). This survey covers all known nearby galaxy groups within the Local Volume (i.e. within 10 Mpc) and their environment, that is about 25% of the total sky. A total of 257 galaxies have been observed with a detection rate of 60%. We searched a frequency band corresponding to heliocentric radial velocities from -470 km/s to about +4000 km/s. Non-detections are either due to limited coverage in radial velocity, confusion with Local HI (mainly in the velocity range -140 km/s to +20 km/s, or lack of sensitivity for very weak emission. 25% of the detected galaxies are located within the Local Volume. Those galaxies are dwarf galaxies judged by their optical linear diameter (1.4 +/- 0.2 kpc on the average), their mean total HI mass (4.6 E7 solar masses), and their observed linewidths (39 km/s).

description: This paper investigates how the far-IR water ice features can be used to infer properties of disks around T Tauri stars and the water ice thermal history. We explore the power of future observations with SOFIA/HIRMES and SPICA's proposed far-IR instrument SAFARI. A series of detailed radiative transfer disk models around a representative T Tauri star are used to investigate how the far-IR water ice features at 45 and 63 micron change with key disk properties: disk size, grain sizes, disk dust mass, dust settling, and ice thickness. In addition, a series of models is devised to calculate the water ice emission features from warmup, direct deposit and cooldown scenarios of the water ice in disks. Photodesorption from icy grains in disk surfaces weakens the mid-IR water ice features by factors 4-5. The far-IR water ice emission features originate from small grains at the surface snow line in disks at distance of 10-100 au. Unless this reservoir is missing in disks (e.g. transitional disks with large cavities), the feature strength is not changing. Grains larger than 10 micron do not contribute to the features. Grain settling (using turbulent description) is affecting the strength of the ice features by at most 15%. The strength of the ice feature scales with the disk dust mass and water ice fraction on the grains, but saturates for dust masses larger than 1.e-4 Msun and for ice mantles that increase the dust mass by more than 50%. The various thermal histories of water ice leave an imprint on the shape of the features (crystalline/amorphous) as well as on the peak strength and position of the 45 micron feature. SOFIA/HIRMES can only detect crystalline ice features much stronger than simulated in our standard T Tauri disk model in deep exposures (1 hr). SPICA/SAFARI can detect the typical ice features in our standard T Tauri disk model in short exposures (10 min). (abbreviated)

description: Science communication aims at making key research insights accessible to the broad public. If explanatory and exploratory visualization techniques are combined to do so, the approach is also referred to as exploranation. In this context, the audience is usually not required to have domain expertise. However, we show that exploranation can not only support the communication between researchers and a broad audience, but also between researchers directly. With the goal of communicating an existing method for conducting causal inference on spatio-temporal conflict event data, we investigated how to perform exploranation for experts, i.e., expert exploranation. Based on application scenarios of the inference method, we developed three versions of an interactive visual story to explain the method to conflict researchers. We abstracted the corresponding design process and evaluated the stories both with experts who were unfamiliar with the explained method and experts who were already familiar with it. The positive and extensive feedback from the evaluation shows that expert exploranation is a promising direction for visual storytelling, as it can help to improve scientific outreach, methodological understanding, and accessibility for researchers new to a field.

description: We present a counts-in-cells analysis of clustering in the optically selected Durham/UKST and Stromlo-APM Galaxy Redshift Surveys. Minimum variance estimates of the second moment, skewness (S_3) and kurtosis (S_4) of the count probability distribution are extracted from a series of volume limited samples of varying radial depth. The corresponding theoretical error calculation takes into account all sources of statistical error on the measurement of the moments, and is in good agreement with the dispersion over mock redshift catalogues. The errors that we find on S_3 and S_4 are larger than those quoted in previous studies, in spite of the fact that the surveys we consider cover larger volumes. S_3 varies little with cell size, with values in the range 1.8-2.2 and errors ~20%, for cubical cells of side 3-20 h^{-1}Mpc. Direct measurements of S_3 are possible out to ~35 h^{-1}Mpc, though with larger errors. A significant determination of S_4 is only possible for one scale, l=6 h^{-1}Mpc, with S_4~5. We compare our results with theoretical predictions from N-body simulations of cold dark matter universes. Qualitatively, the skewness of the dark matter has the same form as that of the galaxies. However, the amplitude of the galaxy S_3 is lower than that predicted for the dark matter. Our measurements of S_3 are consistent with the predictions of a simple model in which initially Gaussian fluctuations in the dark matter evolve gravitationally, if a second order bias term is specified, in addition to the traditional linear bias, in order to describe the relation between the distribution of galaxies and dark matter.

While multiwavelength data during the neutrino flare are sparse, the large number of neutrino events (13 ± 5) challenges the missing activity in gamma-rays. We illustrate that two to five neutrino events during the flare can be explained with leptohadronic models of different categories: a one-zone model, a compact-core model, and an external radiation field model. If, however, significantly more events were to be accommodated, the predicted multiwavelength emission levels would be in conflict with observational X-ray constraints, or with the high-energy gamma-ray fluxes observed by the Fermi Large Area Telescope, depending on the model. For example, while the external radiation field model can predict up to five neutrino events without violating X-ray constraints, the absorption of high-energy gamma-rays is in minor tension with the data. We therefore do not find any model that can simultaneously explain the high event number quoted by IceCube and the (sparse) electromagnetic data during the neutrino flare.

description: Background: A case-cohort study, using a novel assay and data from three dengue vaccine efficacy trials, highlighted differences in vaccination outcomes according to baseline serostatus. Based on these results, we explored, with a model, the benefits and risks associated with vaccination. Research design and methods: Parameters of a previously developed transmission model were estimated with subject-level data from a case-cohort study. The model was used to assess vaccination outcomes for a range of transmission settings over 5–30 years, with or without indirect protection. Main outcome measures: Symptomatic dengue cases, dengue hospitalizations, and severe dengue cases. Results: The model is consistent with previous results indicating a transitory period at increased risk for dengue-seronegative vaccine recipients (setting-dependent duration) and long-term benefits for dengue-seropositive recipients. At the population level, benefits to seropositive individuals over 10 years outweighed the risk to those seronegative in moderate to high transmission settings (≥50% seropositivity at age 9), especially in high transmission settings (no excess hospitalizations in dengue-seronegative for ≥80% seropositivity at age 9). Results were more favorable when longer time horizons or indirect protection were considered. Conclusions: Results indicate a public health benefit associated with dengue vaccination especially in high-transmission settings, even with the initial excess risks to dengue-seronegative patients which diminish over time.
Single Spin Asymmetry in Inclusive Pion Production

description: It is shown how the single spin asymmetry observed in inclusive pion production is related, in the helicity basis, to the imaginary part of the product of two different distribution amplitudes, rather than to the usual quark and gluon distribution functions; there is then no reason why it should be zero even in massless perturbative QCD, provided the quark intrinsic motion is taken into account. A simple model is constructed which reproduces the main features of the data.

Target independence of the `proton spin' effect

Year: 1994
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Recent work by the author in collaboration with S. Narison and G. Veneziano on the EMC-SMC-SLAC `proton spin' effect is reviewed. This uses a novel approach to deep inelastic scattering in which the matrix elements arising from the OPE are factorised into composite operator propagators and proper vertices. For polarised $μp$ scattering, the composite operator propagator is equated to the square root of the first moment of the QCD topological susceptibility, $\sqrt{χ^\prime(0)}$. We evaluate $χ^\prime(0)$ using QCD spectral sum rules and find a significant suppression relative to its OZI expectation. This is identified as the source of the violation of the Ellis-Jaffe sum rule for the first moment of the polarised proton structure function $g_1^p$. Our predictions, $\int_0^1 dx g_1^p(x;Q^2=10GeV^2) = 0.143\pm 0.005$ and $ΔΣ=0.353\pm 0.052$, are in excellent agreement with the new SMC data. This supports our earlier conjecture that the suppression in the flavour singlet component of the first moment of $g_1^p$ is a target-independent feature of QCD related to the $U(1)$ anomaly and is not a special property of the proton structure.

Evidence for dust emission in the Warm Ionised Medium using WHAM data

description: We have used the WHAM H_alpha survey and Leiden/Dwingeloo HI data to decompose the Far-infrared emission (from 100 to 1000 micron) at high Galactic latitude into components associated with the Warm Ionised Medium (WIM) and the Warm Neutral Medium (WNM). This decomposition is possible for the first time thanks to preliminary WHAM data that cover a significant fraction of the sky (about 10%). We confirm the first detection of dust emission from the WIM (Lagache et al. 1999) and show that the WIM dust temperature and emissivity are very similar to those in the WNM. The analysis suggests moreover that about 25% of the far-IR dust emission at high galactic latitude is uncorrelated with the HI gas. The decomposition again reveals a Cosmic Far-Infrared Background (CFIRB) which is determined for the first time from 100 to 1000 micron using two independant gas tracers.

Microlensing by Stars

description: If stars at the lower end of the main sequence are responsible for the microlensing events observed in the Galactic bulge, then light from the lensing star contributes to the observed brightness. The background and lensing stars generally have different colors, and the relative brightness changes during the microlensing event. Therefore, microlensing light curves are not perfectly achromatic if hydrogen-burning stars are the lenses. In most cases, the color shift will be too small to be observable, but we argue that given the current microlensing rates, it is plausible that a few color-shifted microlensing events could be observed in the near future, especially if strategies are optimized to search for them. Although rare, such an event could potentially provide a wealth of information: Light curves in two bands can be used to determine the masses and distances of the two stars as well as the transverse speed of the lensing star. Light curves in additional wavebands could make the determination more precise.

description: O avanço tecnológico nas instituições públicas demanda uma preocupação maior com a segurança da informação, pois as informações passaram a ser mantidas, em sua grande maioria, dentro dos recursos tecnológicos institucionais. Nesse sentido, os sistemas de informação tornam-se alvos de ataques no mundo cibernético e, por isso, demandam um desenvolvimento que possibilite blindagem frente a essas ameaças. Com os sistemas acadêmicos não poderia ser diferente, afinal a maioria das informações das universidades encontramse dentro desses sistemas. Por isso, a segurança da informação deve se fazer presente nessas instituições, orientando pessoas, processos e tecnologias a se protegerem das mais diversas ameaças. A presente pesquisa permitiu analisar as vulnerabilidades tecnológicas inerentes ao Sistema Integrado de Gestão de Atividades Acadêmicas - SIGAA, módulo Stricto Sensu, da Universidade Federal da Paraíba – UFPB, por meio de teste de invasão realizado pela ferramenta NetSparker. Esta pesquisa se caracterizou como uma pesquisa descritiva, com abordagem quantitativa, tendo como método o estudo de caso. Dentre os 66 tipos de vulnerabilidades analisadas, foram identificadas uma vulnerabilidade de nível importante, sete de nível baixo e três do tipo informação, o que mostra a necessidade de melhorias com foco na segurança da informação.

description: The topic of this review is the particle astrophysics of high energy neutrinos. High energy is defined as $E_ν > 100$~MeV. Main topics include: -- atmospheric neutrinos and muons from $π$, $K$ and charm decay. They probe uncharted territory in neutrino oscillations and constitute both the background and calibration of high energy neutrino telescopes, -- sources of high energy neutrino beams: the galactic plane, the sun, X-ray binaries, supernova remnants and interactions of extra-galactic cosmic rays with background photons, -- an extensive review of the mechanisms by which active galaxies may produce high energy particle beams, -- high energy neutrino signatures of cold dark matter and, -- a brief review of detection techniques (water and ice Cherenkov detectors, surface detectors, radio- and acoustic detectors, horizontal airshower arrays) and the instruments under construction.

The model in `mesh.stl` is rather more fragile, but it can still be printed given the correct conditions. The first two models, `trefoil.stl` and `triangle.stl`, should be accessible to printing on FDM filament deposition printers.

On the connection between the pinch technique and the background field method

description: The connection between the pinch technique and the background field method is further explored. We show by explicit calculations that the application of the pinch technique in the framework of the background field method gives rise to exactly the same results as in the linear renormalizable gauges. The general method for extending the pinch technique to the case of Green's functions with off-shell fermions as incoming particles is presented. As an example, the one-loop gauge independent quark self-energy is constructed. We briefly discuss the possibility that the gluonic Green's functions, obtained by either method, correspond to physical quantities.
