Although gravitational collapse is supposed to play an essential role in the star formation process, infall motions have been always elusive to detect. So far, only a few observational signatures have been commonly used to claim for the presence of infall. Often these features consist in either "blue-asymmetries" or absorption at red-shifted velociti

We previously identified LH146, a diffuse X-ray source in the Lockman Hole, as a galaxy cluster at redshift 1.753. The redshift was based on one spectroscopic value, buttressed by seven additional photometric redshifts. We here confirm the previous spectroscopic redshift and present concordant spectroscopic redshifts for an additional eight galaxies. The ave

Neuronal spiking exhibits an exquisite combination of modulation and robustness properties, rarely matched in artificial systems. We exploit the particular interconnection structure of conductance based models to investigate this remarkable property. We find that much of neuronal modulation and robustness can be explained by separating the total transmembran

This White Paper briefly reviews the present status of the muon (g-2) Standard-Model prediction. This value results in a 3 - 4 standard-deviation difference with the experimental result from Brookhaven E821. The present experimental uncertainty is $\pm 63 \times 10^{-11}$ (0.54~ppm), and the Standard-Model uncertainty is $\simeq \pm 49 \times 10^{-11}$. Ferm

In this work we study the evolution of the free boundary between two different fluids in a porous medium where the permeability is a two dimensional step function. The medium can fill the whole plane $\mathbb{R}^2$ or a bounded strip $S=\mathbb{R}\times(-π/2,π/2)$. The system is in the stable regime if the denser fluid is below the lighter one. First, we sho

Magnetic moments of more than one hundred odd-odd spherical nuclei in ground and excited states are calculated within the self-consistent TFFS based on the EDF method by Fayans {\it et al}. We limit ourselves to nuclei with a neutron and a proton particle (hole) added to the magic or semimagic core. A simple model of no interaction between the odd nucleons i

We present an integral field spectroscopic study with the Gemini Multi-Object Spectrograph (GMOS) of the unusual blue compact dwarf (BCD) galaxy Mrk 996. We show through velocity and dispersion maps, emission-line intensity and ratio maps, and by a new technique of electron density limit imaging that the ionization properties of different regions in Mrk 996

Multidimensional scaling (MDS) is a family of methods that embed a given set of points into a simple, usually flat, domain. The points are assumed to be sampled from some metric space, and the mapping attempts to preserve the distances between each pair of points in the set. Distances in the target space can be computed analytically in this setting. Generali

The surface and bulk properties of a modified ballistic deposition model are investigated. The deposition rule interpolates between nearest and next-nearest neighbor ballistic deposition and the random deposition models. The stickiness of the depositing particle is controlled by a parameter and the type of inter-particle force. Two such forces are considered

In this paper, we study complete synchronization of the complex dynamical networks described by linearly coupled ordinary differential equation systems (LCODEs). The coupling considered here is time-varying in both the network structure and the reaction dynamics. Inspired by our previous paper [6], the extended Hajnal diameter is introduced and used to measu

The twist free energy is computed in the Villain formulation of the 3D U(1) lattice gauge theory at finite temperature. This enables us to obtain renormalization group equations describing a critical behavior of the model in the vicinity of the deconfinement phase transition. These equations are used to check the validity of the Svetitsky-Yaffe conjecture re

It is a celebrated result of McKinsey and Tarski [28] that S4 is the logic of the closure algebra X+ over any dense-in-itself separable metrizable space. In particular, S4 is the logic of the closure algebra over the reals R, the rationals Q, or the Cantor space C. By [5], each logic above S4 that has the finite model property is the logic of a subalgebra of

It is known that a Banach space has the strong diameter 2 property (i.e. every convex combination of slices of the unit ball has diameter 2) if and only if the norm on its dual space is octahedral (a notion introduced by Godefroy and Maurey). We introduce two more versions of octahedrality, which turn out to be dual properties to the diameter 2 property and

We show that an information theoretic distance measured by the relative Fisher information between canonical equilibrium phase densities corresponding to forward and backward processes is intimately related to the gradient of the dissipated work in phase space. We present a universal constraint on it via the logarithmic Sobolev inequality. Furthermore, we po

Several recent works have considered the pressure exerted on a wall by a model polymer. We extend this consideration to vesicles attached to a wall, and hence include osmotic pressure. We do this by considering a two-dimensional directed model, namely that of area-weighted Dyck paths. Not surprisingly, the pressure exerted by the vesicle on the wall depends

We investigate the main features of the flat Friedmann-Lemaıtre-Robertson-Walker cosmological models in the f(T) teleparallel gravity. In particular, a general approach to find out exact cosmological solutions in f (T) gravity is discussed. Instead of taking into account phenomenological models, we consider as a selection criterion, the existence of Noether

In this paper we show that three cavity fields can be entangled when they are tuned on resonance with an ensemble of dressed three-level atoms. The master equation for the three cavity modes is derived by using atomic dressed states and the inseparability of the three output cavity modes is described by using a sufficient criterion proposed by van Loock and

For a domain Ωin \mathbb{C} and an operator T in \mathcal{B}_n(Ω), Cowen and Douglas construct a Hermitian holomorphic vector bundle E_T over Ωcorresponding to T. The Hermitian holomorphic vector bundle E_T is obtained as a pull-back of the tautological bundle S(n,\mathcal{H}) defined over \mathcal{G}r(n,\mathcal{H}) by a nondegenerate holomorphic map z\maps

The thesis deals with recognizing diffeomorphisms from fractal properties of discrete orbits, generated by iterations of such diffeomorphisms. The notion of fractal properties of a set refers to the box dimension, the Minkowski content and their appropriate generalizations, or, in wider sense, to the epsilon-neighborhoods of sets, for small, positive values

Animals foraging alone are hypothesized to optimize the encounter rates with resources through Lévy walks. However, the issue of how the interactions between multiple foragers influence their search efficiency is still not completely understood. To address this, we consider a model to study the optimal strategy for a group of foragers searching for targets d

The primary ingredient of Anthropogenic Global Warming hypothesis is the assumption that atmospheric carbon dioxide variations are the cause for temperature variations.

Structural, energetic and tribological characteristics of double-layer graphene with commensurate and incommensurate krypton spacers of nearly monolayer coverage are studied within the van der Waals-corrected density functional theory. It is shown that when the spacer is in the commensurate phase, the graphene layers have the AA stacking. For this phase, the

We experimentally investigate the dynamical instability of a Bose Einstein condensate in an optical ring resonator for various cavity detuning and pump powers. The resulting phase diagram is asymmetric with respect to the cavity detuning and can be described by the coupling of two atomic modes with one optical mode. We compare the experimental data to a nume

Let $q$ be a prime power and $n$ and $r$ be positive integers. It is well known that the linearized binomial $L_r(x)=x^{q^r}+ax\in\mathbb{F}_{q^n}[x]$ is a permutation polynomial if and only if $(-1)^{n/d}a^{{(q^n-1)}/{(q^{d}-1)}}\neq 1$ where $d=(n,r)$. In this paper, the compositional inverse of $L_r(x)$ is explicitly determined when this condition holds.

The thermomagnetic evolution of the young neutron star in Cassiopea A is studied by considering fast neutrino emission processes. In particular, we consider neutron star models obtained from the equation of state computed in the framework of the Brueckner-Bethe-Goldstone many-body theory and variational methods, and models obtained with the Akmal-Pandharipan

In this first of several application papers, we investigate the mechanics of reionization from stellar sources in high-z galaxies, the utility of various clumping factors on estimating the recombination time in the IGM, and the photon budget required to achieve reionization. We test the accuracy of the static and time-dependent models of Madau et al. as pred

We consider the problem of recovering block-sparse signals whose structures are unknown \emph{a priori}. Block-sparse signals with nonzero coefficients occurring in clusters arise naturally in many practical scenarios. However, the knowledge of the block structure is usually unavailable in practice.

We propose a general theoretical scheme to investigate the crossover from electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) to Autler-Townes splitting (ATS) in open ladder-type atomic and molecular systems with Doppler broadening. We show that when the wavenumber ratio $k_c/k_p\approx -1$, EIT, ATS, and EIT-ATS crossover exist for both ladder-I and ladder-II sy

In this paper, we dynamically select the transmission rate and design wireless network coding to improve the quality of services such as delay for time critical applications. In a network coded system, with low transmission rate and hence longer transmission range, more packets may be encoded, which increases the coding opportunity. However, low transmission

A simple model for evaluating the thermal atomic transfer rates in nanosystems [EPL 94, 40002 (2011)] was developed to predict the chemical reaction rates of nanosystems with small gas molecules. The accuracy of the model was verified by MD simulations for molecular adsorption and desorption on a monatomic chain. By the prediction, a monatomic carbon chain s

We resolve the complexity of revenue-optimal deterministic auctions in the unit-demand single-buyer Bayesian setting, i.e., the optimal item pricing problem, when the buyer's values for the items are independent. We show that the problem of computing a revenue-optimal pricing can be solved in polynomial time for distributions of support size 2, and its d

Missing value imputation is an important practical problem. There is a large body of work on it, but there does not exist any work that formulates the problem in a structured output setting. Also, most applications have constraints on the imputed data, for example on the distribution associated with each variable. None of the existing imputation methods use

We find them using the precise form of the Bellman function. The extremal examples have a fractal nature as it often happens in that kind of problems. This article is devoted to the unweig

Recently, the Planck collaboration has released the first cosmological papers providing the high resolution, full sky, maps of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) temperature anisotropies.

In this paper we examine the evolution of solutions, that initially have compact support, of a recently-derived system of cross-coupled Camassa-Holm equations. The analytical methods which we employ provide a full picture for the persistence of compact support for the momenta. For solutions of the system itself, the answer is more convoluted, and we determin

The $G$-strand equations for a map $\mathbb{R}\times \mathbb{R}$ into a Lie group $G$ are associated to a $G$-invariant Lagrangian. The Lie group manifold is also the configuration space for the Lagrangian. The $G$-strand itself is the map $g(t,s): \mathbb{R}\times \mathbb{R}\to G$, where $t$ and $s$ are the independent variables of the $G$-strand equations.

Sparse random linear network coding (SRLNC) is an attractive technique proposed in the literature to reduce the decoding complexity of random linear network coding.

In a synchronized network of $n$ nodes, each node will update its parameter based on the system state in a given iteration. It is well-known that the updates can converge to a fixed point if the maximum absolute eigenvalue (spectral radius) of the $n \times n$ iterative matrix ${\bf{F}}$ is less than one (i.e. $ρ({\bf{F}})<1$). However, if only a subset of t

The gate-tunable terahertz (THz) absorption of graphene layers with a resonant metal back reflector (RMBF) is theoretically investigated. We demonstrate that the THz absorption of graphene with RMBF can vary from nearly negligible to nearly total by tuning the external gate voltage. This peculiar nearly total THz absorption can be attributed to the Fabry-Per

The Pontryagin&#39;s Maximum Principle allows, in most cases, the design of optimal controls of affine nonlinear control systems by considering the sign of a smooth function. There are cases, although, where this function vanishes on a whole time interval and the Pontryagin&#39;s Maximum Principle alone does not give enough information to design the control.

In these notes, we consider the problem of finding the logarithm or the square root of a real matrix. It is known that for every real n x n matrix, A, if no real eigenvalue of A is negative or zero, then A has a real logarithm, that is, there is a real matrix, X, such that e^X = A. Furthermore, if the eigenvalues, xi, of X satisfy the property -pi < Im(xi) <

A decision maker observes the evolving state of the world while constantly trying to predict the next state given the history of past states. The ability to benefit from such predictions depends not only on the ability to recognize patters in history, but also on the range of actions available to the decision maker.

The existence of nondegenerate invariant bilinear forms is one of the most important tools in the study of Kac-Moody Lie algebras and extended affine Lie algebras. In practice, these forms are created, or shown to exist, either by assumption or in an ad hoc basis. The purpose of this work is to describe the nature of the space of invariant bilinear forms of

We show that the category of finitely generated free modules over certain local rings is n-angulated for every n at least 3. In fact, we construct several classes of n-angles, parametrized by equivalence classes of units in the local rings. Finally, we show that for odd values of n some of these n-angulated categories are not algebraic.

We show that the interplay of strong Hubbard interaction $U$ and spin-orbit coupling $λ$ in systems with $d^4$ electronic configuration leads to several unusual magnetic phases.

Let $D(K)$ be the positively-clasped untwisted Whitehead double of a knot $K$, and $T_{p,q}$ be the $(p,q)$ torus knot. We show that $D(T_{2,2m+1})$ and $D^2(T_{2,2m+1})$ are linearly independent in the smooth knot concordance group $\mathcal{C}$ for each $m\geq 2$. Further, $D(T_{2,5})$ and $D^2(T_{2,5})$ generate a $\mathbb{Z}\oplus\mathbb{Z}$ summand in t

Approximate Bayesian Computation (ABC) is a popular computational method for likelihood-free Bayesian inference. The term &#34;likelihood-free&#34; refers to problems where the likelihood is intractable to compute or estimate directly, but where it is possible to generate simulated data $X$ relatively easily given a candidate set of parameters $θ$ simulated

As users migrate information to cloud storage, many distributed cloud-based services use multiple loosely consistent replicas of user information to avoid the high overhead of more tightly coupled synchronization. Periodically, the information must be synchronized, or reconciled. One can place this problem in the theoretical framework of {\em set reconciliat

It is shown here that Brillouin amplification can be used to produce picosecond pulses of petawatt power. Brillouin amplification is far more resilient to fluctuations in the laser and plasma parameters than Raman amplification, making it an attractive alternative to Raman amplification. Through analytic theory and multi-dimensional computer simulations, a n

This Resource Letter gives an introduction to the main topics in exoplanet research. It is intended to serve as a guide to the field for upper-division undergraduate and graduate students, both theoretical and experimental, and for workers in other fields of physics and astronomy who wish learn about this new discipline. Topics include historical background,

We study spin-half fermions in a one-dimensional extended Hubbard chain at low filling. We identify three triplet and one singlet pairing channels in the system, which are independently tunable as a function of nearest-neighbor charge and spin interactions. In a large-size system with translational invariance, we derive gap equations for the corresponding pa

For a set of $n$ points in the plane, this paper presents simple kinetic data structures (KDS&#39;s) for solutions to some fundamental proximity problems, namely, the all nearest neighbors problem, the closest pair problem, and the Euclidean minimum spanning tree (EMST) problem. Also, the paper introduces KDS&#39;s for maintenance of two well-studied sparse

We present nebular phase optical and near-infrared spectroscopy of the Type IIP supernova SN 2012aw combined with NLTE radiative transfer calculations applied to ejecta from stellar evolution/explosion models. Our spectral synthesis models generally show good agreement with the ejecta from a MZAMS = 15 Msun progenitor star. The emission lines of oxygen, sodi

Equations of the magnetization dynamics are derived for an arbitrary curved 2D surface. General static solutions are obtained in the limit of a strong anisotropy of both signs (easy-surface and easy-normal cases). It is shown that the effect of the curvature can be treated as appearance of an effective magnetic field which is aligned along the surface normal

We present X-ray observations of the &#34;redback&#34; eclipsing radio millisecond pulsar and candidate radio pulsar/X-ray binary transition object PSR J1723-2837. The X-ray emission from the system is predominantly non-thermal and exhibits pronounced variability as a function of orbital phase, with a factor of ~2 reduction in brightness around superior conj

We show how the two-dimensional Dirac oscillator model can describe some properties of electrons in graphene. This model explains the origin of the left-handed chirality observed for charge carriers in monolayer and bilayer graphene. The relativistic dispersion relation observed for monolayer graphene is obtained directly from the energy spectrum, while the

We explain how Hörmander&#39;s classical solution of the dbar-equation in the plane with a weight which permits growth near infinity carries over to the rather opposite situation when we ask for decay near infinity. Here, however, a natural condition on the datum needs to be imposed. The condition is not only natural but also necessary to have the result at

John Wheeler coined the phrase &#34;it from bit&#34; or &#34;bit from it&#34; in the 1980s. However, much of the interest in the connection between information, i.e. &#34;bits&#34;, and physical objects, i.e. &#34;its&#34;, stems from the discovery that black holes have characteristics of thermodynamic systems having entropies and temperatures. This insight
