Supergravity Approach to Tachyon Potential in Brane-Antibrane Systems

Year: 2002
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Using an exact supergravity solution representing the Dp-\bar{Dp} system, it is demonstrated that one can construct a supergravity analogue of the tachyon potential. Remarkably, the (regularized) minimum value of the potential turns out to be V(T_{0})=-2m with m denoting the ADM mass of a single Dp-brane. This result, in a sense, appears to confirm that Sen's conjecture for the tachyon condensation on unstable D-branes is indeed correct although the analysis used here is semi-classical in nature and hence should be taken with some care. Also shown is the fact that the tachyon mass squared m^2_{T} (which has started out as being negative) can actually become positive definite and large as the tachyon rolls down toward the minimum of its potential. It indeed signals the possibility of successful condensation of the tachyon since it shows that near the minimum of its potential, tachyon can become heavy enough to disappear from the massless spectrum. Some cosmological implications of this tachyon potential in the context of ``rolling tachyons'' is also discussed.

description: Priocera denticarea OPITZ nov.sp. (Figs 41, 93, 127)
 HOLOTYPE: ♂. Type locality: HONDURAS: Dept. Atlantida, Tela, Lancetilla Botanical Gardens, 28- V-1993, M. C. Thomas (FSCA). PARATYPE: 5 specimens. Honduras: Departamento de Atlantida, Tela, Lancetilla Botanical Gardens, 28-V-1993, M. C. Thomas (CUIC, 1; FSCA, 1; WOPC, 2); idem, 28-V-1993, R. Turnbow (RHTC, 1).
 D i a g n o s i s: Specimens of this species are similar to those of Priocera stictica GORHAM and P. costaricana WOLCOTT, from which they can only be distinguished by examination of the aedeagus. In P. stictica GORHAM, the phallic plate is set with serrations and in P. costaricana the phallic apex is uncinate. Neither of these phallic characteristics are present in specimens of P. denticarea.
D e s c r i p t i o n: Size: Length 8.0 mm; width 2.0 mm. Form: As in Fig. 127. Head: Frons about as wide as length of antennal pedicel (EW /FW 45/10). Thorax: Pronotum finely punctate, with 2 tumescenses (PW /PL 90/145); elytra slightly concave at middle, disc sculptured with striate asetiferous punctures that extend beyond basal 1/2, elytral apex rounded (EL /EW 340/60); metathoracic leg gradually increasing in diameter towards apex. Abdomen: Aedeagus as in Fig. 41.
V a r i a t i o n: Size: Length 8.0-9.0 mm; width 2.0- 2.2 mm. Other than body size, the available specimens are quite homogeneous.
N a t u r a l h i s t o r y: The available specimens were collected in May.
D i s t r i b u t i o n (Fig. 93): This species is known from Honduras.
 E t y m o l o g y: The trivial name, denticarea, is a Latin compound name that stems from denti (= tooth) and careo (= to be without). I refer to the lack of serrations on the phallic plates.

Thorax: Pronotum finely punctate, with 2 tumescenses (PW/PL 240/315); elytral disc sculptured with circular, asetiferous punctures that are not seriate, they extend slightly beyond elytral 1/2, elytral apex bispinous (EL/EW 1,020 /200); prothoracic tibial apex with stout spine; metathoracic femur gradually increasing in diameter to femoral apex. Abdomen: Aedeagus as in Fig. 42.
V a r i a t i o n: The available specimens are quite homogeneous.
D i s t r i b u t i o n (Fig. 89): In addition to the lectotype, I examined 2 specimens from: Colombia: No other information available. Specimens are deposited in MNHN and WOPC.
N o t e s: The lectotype was examined, but the description is based on a homotype specimen.

A reduced efficiency of terrestrial planet formation following giant planet migration
Creators: name: Armitage, Philip J.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2002
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Substantial orbital migration of massive planets may occur in most extrasolar planetary systems. Since migration is likely to occur after a significant fraction of the dust has been locked up into planetesimals, ubiquitous migration could reduce the probability of forming terrestrial planets at radii of the order of 1 au. Using a simple time dependent model for the evolution of gas and solids in the disk, I show that replenishment of solid material in the inner disk, following the inward passage of a giant planet, is generally inefficient. Unless the timescale for diffusion of dust is much shorter than the viscous timescale, or planetesimal formation is surprisingly slow, the surface density of planetesimals at 1 au will typically be depleted by one to two orders of magnitude following giant planet migration. Conceivably, terrestrial planets may exist only in a modest fraction of systems where a single generation of massive planets formed and did not migrate significantly.

Human resources in a South Pacific community : the Western Samoan labour force, 1951-1981
Creators: name: Salale, Salale
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1978
Subjects: subject: Labor supply Samoa

description: Human resources, the only abundant resource in Western Samoa, is the main focus of this study which tries to explore the nature of the numbers involved through the labour force approach. This approach has only been utilized in the 1971 Western Samoan census and has encountered difficulties mainly in the area of data comparability with earlier censuses which had used the gainful worker approach. Apart from this, there have been some cases of blind application of some labour force concepts without regard for the local conditions. TWo facts are clearly revealed in this study concerning the labour force in Western Samoa. Firstly, is the fact that the majority of the labour force members are semi-skilled or without skills. Secondly, is the massive brain drain to overseas countries especially New Zealand, of young members who can be said to have the needed skills.
A galaxy classification grid that better recognises early-type galaxy morphology
Creators: name: Graham, Alister W.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics of Galaxies (astro-ph.GA)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A modified galaxy classification scheme for local galaxies is presented. It builds upon the Aitken-Jeans nebula sequence, by expanding the Jeans-Hubble tuning fork diagram, which itself contained key ingredients from Curtis and Reynolds. The two-dimensional grid of galaxy morphological types presented here, with elements from de Vaucouleurs' three-dimensional classification volume, has an increased emphasis on the often overlooked bars and continua of disc sizes in early-type galaxies - features not fully captured by past tuning forks, tridents, or combs. The grid encompasses nuclear discs in elliptical (E) galaxies, intermediate-scale discs in ellicular (ES) galaxies, and large-scale discs in lenticular (S0) galaxies, while the E4-E7 class is made redundant given that these galaxies are lenticular galaxies. Today, these disc structures continue to be neglected, or surprise researchers, perhaps partly due to our indoctrination to galaxy morphology through the tuning fork diagram. To better understand the past and present classification schemes - whose origins reside in solar/planetary formation models - a holistic overview is given. This provides due credit to some of the lesser known pioneers, presents some rationale for the grid, and reveals the incremental nature of, and some of the lesser known connections in, the field of galaxy morphology.

Orbital Evolution of a Circumbinary Planet in a Gaseous Disk

Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Earth and Planetary Astrophysics (astro-ph.EP)

description: Sub-Jupiter classed circumbinary planets discovered in close-in binary systems have orbits just beyond the dynamically unstable region, which is determined by the eccentricity and mass ratio of the host binary stars. These planets are assumed to have formed beyond the snow line and migrated to the current orbits rather than forming in situ. We propose a scenario in which a planet formed beyond the snow line and migrated to the inner edge of the circumbinary disk, which was within the unstable area, and then moved to the current orbit through outward transportation. This outward transportation is driven by the balance of orbital excitation of the central stars inside the gravitationally unstable region and damping by the gas-drag force. We carried out N-body simulations with a dissipating circumbinary protoplanetary disk for binary systems with different eccentricities and mass ratios. Planets are more likely to achieve a stable orbit just beyond the unstable region in less eccentric binary systems. This result is not as sensitive to mass ratio as it is to eccentricity. These dependencies are consistent with the data from observed binary systems hosting circumbinary planets. We find CBPs' orbits close to the instability boundaries are explained by our orbital evolution scenario.

Age at marriage and fertility in Java-Bali : a question of natural or controlled fertility
Creators: name: Adioetomo, Sri Moertiningsih
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1981
Subjects: subject: Fertility, Human Indonesia Java
subject: Fertility, Human Indonesia Bali Island

description: It is widely recognized that the level of fertility of women in Java is on the average lower than is found in most developing societies. Studies carried out in two villages in Yogyakarta have found that traditional practices such as prolonged breastfeeding, longer post-parturn abstinence and sexual taboos prevailed in these villages. These may lead to the impression that the low level of fertility of the Javanese women was achieved under a controlled fertility situation. In this study, an examination of fertility by age at marriage of once married women aged 40+ in Java-Bali, in 1976, has shown evidence that as compared to Henry's pattern of natural fertility, the level of fecundity of Java-Bali women was lower. The length of the first birth interval for women married very young was very high. Women who married after age 20 years reached their fourth birth sooner than those who married younger, which is evidence of of a 'catching up' effect. Further examination however, has shown that this result is due to the fact that these women in the early years of marriage were in the stage of peak fecundity. It was not the result of deliberate fertility planning. These women reached the stage of late subfecundity before they attained further births, while women who married younger have a much longer childbearing period to achieve their last birth. As a consequence, women who married younger had more exposure time and produced 6.4 children as compared to their counterparts who married older who had only 3 children. It is concluded that this is evidence of a natural fertility situation, that is according to Henry, fertility which is achieved in the absence of deliberate fertility control.

description: Deep learning based data-driven approaches have been successfully applied in various image understanding applications ranging from object recognition, semantic segmentation to visual question answering. However, the lack of knowledge integration as well as higher-level reasoning capabilities with the methods still pose a hindrance. In this work, we present a brief survey of a few representative reasoning mechanisms, knowledge integration methods and their corresponding image understanding applications developed by various groups of researchers, approaching the problem from a variety of angles. Furthermore, we discuss upon key efforts on integrating external knowledge with neural networks. Taking cues from these efforts, we conclude by discussing potential pathways to improve reasoning capabilities.

description: Emotions can be dangerous companions in road traffic for vehicle drivers and cyclists in particular. It is therefore important to reliably assess emotions like anger in road traffic. The first objective of the present paper is to examine whether the cycling anger scale (CAS) can be used to assess Singaporean Cyclists’ anger experiences in traffic. In addition, it relates the cycling anger measure to similar constructs like driving anger (DAS), and the cyclists’ experiences of trait anger in general in order to further examine the validity of the CAS scale. In an online survey, we distributed the English versions of the Cycling Anger Scale (CAS), the Driving Anger Scale (DAS), and the Trait Anger Scale (TAS) to a sample of 116 cyclists from Singapore. We then analyzed the psychometric properties of the CAS. In addition, we correlated cyclists’ CAS ratings with their DAS ratings, TAS ratings, and demographic variables. Finally, we compared cycling anger ratings across cultures. With respect to the first objective, we found that the Cycling Anger Scale can be applied to cyclists from Singapore given very minor modifications. Regarding our second objective, we obtained substantial correlations between cycling anger experience, driving anger experience, and general anger experience. In addition, cyclists’ CAS ratings were related to their demographic variables but not to their self-reported aggressive cycling behavior. The cross-cultural comparison revealed that cyclists from Singapore experience less anger than cyclists from other cultures. We conclude that we could show the validity of the CAS for cyclists from Singapore. Researchers and practitioners who are interested in safer cycling can apply the CAS in Singapore. In line with other studies, we also conclude that cycling anger experience is related to driving anger experience and general trait anger. However, cycling anger does not seem to be related to self-reported aggressive cycling.

description: Traditionally, structured or coded data fields from a crash report are the basis for identifying crashes involving different types of vehicles, such as farm equipment. However, using only the structured data can lead to misclassification of vehicle or crash type. The objective of the current article is to examine the use of machine learning methods for identifying agricultural crashes based on the crash narrative and to transfer the application of models to different settings (e.g., future years of data, other states). Different data representations (e.g., bag-of-words [BoW], bag-of-keywords [BoK]) and document classification algorithms (e.g., support vector machine [SVM], multinomial naïve Bayes classifier [MNB]) were explored using Texas and Louisiana crash narratives across different time periods. The BoK-support vector classifier (SVC), BoK-MNB, and BoW-SVC models trained with Texas data were better predictive models than the baseline rule-based algorithm on the future year test data, with F1 scores of 0.88, 0.89, 0.85 vs. 0.84. The BoK-MNB trained with Louisiana data performed the closest to the baseline rule-based algorithm on the future year test data (F1 scores, 0.91 baseline rule-based algorithm vs. 0.89 BoK-MNB). The BoK-SVC and BoK-MNB models trained with Texas and Louisiana data were better productive models for Texas future year test data with F1 scores 0.89 and 0.90 vs. 0.84. The BoK-MNB model trained with both states’ data was a better predictive model for the Louisiana future year test data, F1 score 0.94 vs. 0.91. The findings of this study support that machine learning methodologies can potentially reduce the amount of human power required to develop key word lists and manually review narratives.

description: Video-based human action recognition is currently one of the most active research areas in computer vision. Various research studies indicate that the performance of action recognition is highly dependent on the type of features being extracted and how the actions are represented. Since the release of the Kinect camera, a large number of Kinect-based human action recognition techniques have been proposed in the literature. However, there still does not exist a thorough comparison of these Kinect-based techniques under the grouping of feature types, such as handcrafted versus deep learning features and depth-based versus skeleton-based features. In this paper, we analyze and compare ten recent Kinect-based algorithms for both cross-subject action recognition and cross-view action recognition using six benchmark datasets. In addition, we have implemented and improved some of these techniques and included their variants in the comparison. Our experiments show that the majority of methods perform better on cross-subject action recognition than cross-view action recognition, that skeleton-based features are more robust for cross-view recognition than depth-based features, and that deep learning features are suitable for large datasets.

Cosmic vacuum and large-scale perturbations in the concordant model
Creators: name: Chernin, Arthur D.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2002
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The evolution of cosmological large-scale perturbations is described in terms of the concordant model based on the recent discovery of cosmic vacuum. It is demonstrated that the process is robustly controlled by a few epoch-independent physical parameters. The parameters guarantee that the initially weak perturbations become nonlinear before (but near) the termination of gravitational instability by cosmic vacuum. No fine tuning for the perturbation amplitude is needed.

Human resources in Pakistan 1951-2006
Creators: name: Younis, Muhammad
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1985
Subjects: subject: Labor supply Pakistan
subject: Human capital Pakistan
subject: Employment forecasting Pakistan

description: This thesis looks at the effect of socio-economic development on the size, composition and the proportion of population in the labour force. This analysis is mainly based on the decennial Population Censuses 1951-81 and the Housing, Economic and Demographic Survey-1973. It was found that the proportion of economically active population is gradually reducing as a result of advances in social and economic life in Pakistan. In the past many Pakistanis have sought employment in overseas countries which offers better opportunities. However, the international economic and political climate suggest limits to the absorption of Pakistani workers in the outside world. Education, urbanization and structural changes in the economy are the major determinants of participation in economic activities. These factors are also responsible for occupational mobility (from traditional to modern occupations) for both the males and females. Female participation in economic activities is believed to be understated in almost all the major censuses and surveys. There is a tendency for the female activity rates in Pakistan to shift from the late peak to the early peak pattern. Demographic variables suggest that rapid population growth would put more strain on limited national resources. This will adversely affect the economic growth and employment expansion programmes. Effective fertility control and employment expansion policies are needed to provide productive employment to the growing labour force.

Vacuum polarization of the quantized massive scalar field in the global monopole spacetime II: the renormalized quantum stress energy tensor
Creators: name: Piedra, Owen Pavel Fernández
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: This paper is devoted to the construction of the renormalized quantum stress energy tensor $\left_{ren}$ for a massive scalar field with arbitrary coupling to the gravitational field of a pointlike global monopole, using the Schwinger-DeWitt approximation, up to second order in the inverse mass $μ$ of the field. The given stress energy tensor is constructed by functional differentiation with respect to the metric tensor of the one-loop effective action of sufficiently massive scalar field, such that the Compton length of the quantum field is much less than the characteristic radius of the curvature of the background geometry. The results are obtained for a general curvature coupling parameter $ξ$, and specified to the more physical cases of minimal and conformal coupling, showing that in this specific cases, the quantum massive scalar field in the global monopole spacetime violates all the pointwise energy conditions.

Topology of Center Vortices

description: In this talk I study the topology of mathematically idealised center vortices, defined in a gauge invariant way as closed (infinitely thin) flux surfaces (in D=4 dimensions) which contribute the $n^{th}$ power of a non-trivial center element to Wilson loops when they are n-foldly linked to the latter. In ordinary 3-space generic center vortices represent closed magnetic flux loops which evolve in time. I show that the topological charge of such a time-dependent vortex loop can be entirely expressed by the temporal changes of its writhing number.

description: Semiconducting 2D materials, such as molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) and other members of the transition metal dichalcogenide family, have emerged as promising materials for applications in high performance nanoelectronics that exhibit excellent electrical and optical properties. Highly efficient photocurrent (PC) generation is reported in vertical few layer MoS2 devices contacted with semitransparent metallic electrodes. The light absorption of the device can be improved by fabricating vertical photodevices using few layer flakes, achieving a photoresponse of up to 0.11 A/W and an external quantum efficiency (EQE) of up to 30%. Because of the vertical design, the distance between electrodes can be kept in the range of a few nanometers, thus substantially reducing the collection time of photogenerated carriers and increasing the efficiency of the devices. The wavelength dependent PC, photoresponsivity, and EQE are measured over a photon energy range from 1.24 to 2.58 eV. Compared to previous in plane and vertical devices, these vertical few layer MoS2 photodevices exhibit very short response time, 60 ns, and a cutoff frequency of 5.5 MHz, while maintaining high photoresponsivity.
