Though athletics statistics are abundant, it is a difficult task to quantitatively compare performances from different events of track, field, and road running in a meaningful way. There are several commonly-used methods, but each has its limitations. Some methods, for example, are valid only for running events, or are unable to compare men's performance

We present spectra obtained with the Infrared Spectrograph (IRS) on the Spitzer Space Telescope of 33 K giants and 20 A dwarfs to assess their suitability as spectrophotometric standard stars. The K giants confirm previous findings that the strength of the SiO absorption band at 8 um increases for both later optical spectral classes and redder (B-V)_0 colors

In octilinear drawings of planar graphs, every edge is drawn as an alternating sequence of horizontal, vertical and diagonal ($45^\circ$) line-segments. In this paper, we study octilinear drawings of low edge complexity, i.e., with few bends per edge. A $k$-planar graph is a planar graph in which each vertex has degree less or equal to $k$. In particular, we

Observations of variability can provide valuable information about the processes of cloud formation and dissipation in brown dwarf atmospheres. Here we report the results of an independent analysis of archival data from the Brown dwarf Atmosphere Monitoring (BAM) program.

Static and non-static thermal screening states that couple to the conserved vector current are investigated in the high-temperature phase of QCD. Their masses and couplings to the current are determined at weak coupling, as well as using two-flavor lattice QCD simulations. A consistent picture emerges from the comparison, providing evidence that non-static M

Higgs boson properties could be studied with a high accuracy at a muon collider via the s-channel resonant production. We consider the situation where the center-of-mass energy of the muon collider is off the resonance above the Higgs mass. We discuss the discovery potential for a generic heavy Higgs boson ($H$) and compare different production mechanisms, i

As a step toward a comprehensive overview of the infrared diagnostics of the central engines and host galaxies of quasars at low redshift, we present Spitzer Space Telescope spectroscopic (5-40 μm) and photometric (24, 70 and 160 μm) measurements of all Palomar-Green (PG) quasars at z < 0.5 and 2MASS quasars at z < 0.3. We supplement these data with Herschel

We briefly review the evidence that anti-de Sitter spacetime is nonlinearly unstable, and the perturbative arguments that there should exist geons - nonsingular solutions to Einstein&#39;s equation with a helical symmetry. We then explicitly construct these geons numerically and discuss some of their properties. We conclude with some open questions.

We present a study of the vertical structure of the gaseous and stellar disks in a sample of edge-on galaxies (NGC 4157, 4565, and 5907) using BIMA/CARMA 12CO (J = 1 --> 0), VLA H I, and Spitzer 3.6 micron data. In order to take into account projection effects when we measure the disk thickness as a function of radius, we first obtain the inclination by mode

The formation of protostellar discs is severely hampered by magnetic braking, as long as magnetic fields remain frozen in the gas. The latter condition depends on the levels of ionisation that characterise the innermost regions of a collapsing cloud. The chemistry of dense cloud cores and, in particular, the ionisation fraction is largely controlled by cosmi

The ionizing fluxes from quasars and other active galactic nuclei (AGN) are critical for interpreting their emission-line spectra and for photoionizing and heating the intergalactic medium (IGM). Using far-ultraviolet spectra from the Cosmic Origins Spectrograph (COS) on the Hubble Space Telescope (HST), we directly measure the rest-frame ionizing continua a

The ratio of mass and magnetic flux determines the relative importance of magnetic and gravitational forces in the evolution of molecular clouds and their cores. Its measurement is thus central in discriminating between different theories of core formation and evolution. Here we discuss the effect of chemical depletion on measurements of the mass-to-flux rat

It is well known in bibliometrics that the average number of citations per paper differs greatly between the various disciplines. The differing citation culture (in particular the different average number of references per paper and thereby the different probability of being cited) is widely seen as the cause of this variation.

In this article, we show that in a $Q$-doubling space $(X,d,μ),$ $Q>1,$ that supports a $Q$-Poincaré inequality and satisfies a chain condition, sets of $Q$-capacity zero have generalized Hausdorff $h$-measure zero for $h(t)=\log^{1-Q-ε}(1/t).$

Perturbative gadgets are used to construct a quantum Hamiltonian whose low-energy subspace approximates a given quantum $k$-body Hamiltonian up to an absolute error $ε$. Typically, gadget constructions involve terms with large interaction strengths of order $\text{poly}(ε^{-1})$. Here we present a 2-body gadget construction and prove that it approximates a t

Let G be a simple finite graph such that each vertex has an integer value and different vertices have different values. Let S be a finite non-empty set of primes. We call G an S-graph if any two vertices are connected by an edge if and only their values differ by a number which is composed of primes from S. We prove e.g. that for every G there exist infinite

We extend our previous work [J. Chem. Phys, \textbf{136}, 124121], which described a spin-adapted (SU(2) symmetry) density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) algorithm, to additionally utilize general non-Abelian point group symmetries. A key strength of the present formulation is that the requisite tensor operators are not hard-coded for each symmetry grou

We study a noisy drive mechanism for efficiency enhancement of Brownian motors operating on the micro-scale domain. It was proven [J. Spiechowicz et al., J. Stat. Mech.

Nanostructuring has spurred a revival in the field of direct thermoelectric energy conversion. Nanograined materials can now be synthesized with higher figures of merit (ZT) than the bulk counterparts. This leads to increased conversion efficiencies. Despite considerable effort in optimizing the known and discovering the unknown, technology still relies upon

Using contact-geometric techniques and sutured Floer homology, we present an alternate formulation of the minus and plus version of knot Floer homology. We further show how natural constructions in the realm of contact geometry give rise to much of the formal structure relating the various versions of Heegaard Floer homology. In addition, to a Legendrian or

Weak scale supersymmetry is one of the best motivated and studied Standard Model extensions. It predicts the existence of new heavy coloured particles called squarks and gluinos which are the supersymmetric partners of the quarks and gluons, respectively. The poster summarises results on inclusive searches for supersymmetric squarks and gluinos in events con

The excited states in ${^{12}{\rm C}}$ are investigated by using an extended version of the so-called Tohsaki-Horiuchi- Schuck-Röpke (THSR) wave function, where both the $3α$ condensate and ${^{8}{\rm Be}} + α$ cluster asymptotic configurations are included. A new method is also used to resolve spurious continuum coupling with physical states. We focus on th

Phase transitions are well understood and generally followed by the behavior of the associated thermodynamic quantities, such as in the case of the $λ$ point superfluid transition of liquid helium, which is observed in its heat capacity. In the case of a trapped Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC), the heat capacity cannot be directly measured. In this work, we p

This part II of the paper is concerned with questions of existence and uniqueness of tangents in the special case of G-plurisubharmonic functions, where G is a compact subset of the Grassmannian of p-planes in ${\mathbb R}^n$. An upper semi-continuous function u on an open set $Ω$ in ${\mathbb R}^n$ is G-plurisubharmonic if its restriction to $Ω\cap W$ is su

In the setting of a group $Γ$ acting faithfully on a set $X$, a $k$-coloring $c: X\rightarrow \{1, 2, ..., k\}$ is called $Γ$-distinguishing if the only element of $Γ$ that fixes $c$ is the identity element. The distinguishing number $D_Γ(X)$ is the minimum value of $k$ such that a $Γ$-distinguishing $k$-coloring of $X$ exists. Now, fixing $k= D_Γ(X)$, a sub

Almost contact manifolds with B-metric are considered. There are studied three natural connections (i.e. linear connections preserving the structure tensors) determined by conditions for their torsions. These connections are investigated on a family of Lie groups considered as 5-dimensional almost contact B-metric manifolds.

We study the unitary time evolution of photons interacting with a dielectric resonator using coherent control pulses. We show that non-Markovianity of transient photon dynamics in the resonator subsystem may be controlled to within a photon-resonator transit time. In general, appropriate use of coherent pulses and choice of spatial subregion may be used to c

We observe a dc voltage peak at ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) in samples consisting of a single ferromagnetic (FM) layer grown epitaxially on the $\mathit{n-}$GaAs (001) surface. The FMR peak is detected as an interfacial voltage with a symmetric line shape and is present in samples based on various FM/$n$-GaAs hetrostructures, including Co$_{2}$MnSi/$n$-GaA

In a non-ideal classical Coulomb one-component plasma (OCP) all thermodynamic properties are known to depend only on a single parameter -- the coupling parameter $Γ$. In contrast, if the pair interaction is screened by background charges (Yukawa OCP) the thermodynamic state depends, in addition, on the range of the interaction via the screening parameter $κ$

The present paper is devoted to the study of a simple model of interacting electrons in a random background. In a large interval $Λ$, we consider $n$ one dimensional particles whose evolution is driven by the Luttinger-Sy model, i.e., the interval $Λ$ is split into pieces delimited by the points of a Poisson process of intensity $μ$ and, in each piece, the H

We prove that the residual girth of any finitely generated linear group is at most exponential. This means that the smallest finite quotient in which the $n$-ball injects has at most exponential size. If the group is also not virtually nilpotent, it follows that the residual girth is precisely exponential.

We study semiresolutions of quasi-projective varieties with properties $G_1$, $S_2$, and seminormality. Equivalently, these are varieties $X$ with Serre&#39;s $S_2$ property, such that there exists an open subvariety $U$, with complement of codimension at least two, such that the only singularities of $U$ are (analytically) double normal crossings.

In this paper, we develop a new formulation of changeover constraints for mixed integer programming problem (MIP) that emerges in solving a short-term production scheduling problem. The new model requires fewer constraints than the original formulation and this often leads to shorter computation time of a MIP solver. Besides that, the new formulation is more

In reduced-dimensional semiconductors, doping-induced carrier plasmons can strongly couple with quasiparticle excitations, leading to a significant band gap renormalization.

We present an approach based on entropy and duality methods for triangular reaction cross diffusion systems of two equations, in which cross diffusion terms appear only in one of the equations. Thanks to this approach, we recover and extend many existing results on the classical triangular Shigesada-Kawasaki-Teramoto model.

The ways in which an innovation (e.g., new behaviour, idea, technology, product) diffuses among people can determine its success or failure. In this paper, we address the problem of diffusion of innovations over multiplex social networks where the neighbours of a person belong to one or multiple networks (or layers) such as friends, families, or colleagues.

Recent study of gamma rays originating from the region of galactic centre has confirmed an anomalous $γ$-ray excess within the energy range 1-3 GeV. This can be explained as the consequence of pair annihilation of a 31-40 GeV dark matter into $b \bar b$ with thermal annihilation cross-section $σv \sim 1.4-2.0 \times 10^{-26}~\rm{cm^3/s}$. In this work we rev

In this paper, two new families of MDS quantum convolutional codes are constructed. The first one can be regarded as a generalization of \cite[Theorem 6.5]{GGGlinear}, in the sense that we do not assume that $q\equiv1\pmod{4}$.

Here the problem considered is that of a pair of oscillators coupled to a common heat bath. Many, if not most, discussions of a single operator coupled to a bath have used the independent oscillator model of the bath. However, that model has no notion of separation, so the question of phenomena when the oscillators are near one another compared with when the

The objective is to design output feedback event-triggered controllers to stabilize a class of nonlinear systems.

We present the general expression, in terms of structure functions, of the cross section for the production of two hadrons in semi-inclusive deep-inelastic scattering. We analyze this process including full transverse-momentum dependence up to subleading twist and check, where possible, the consistency with existing literature.

The early stage of stellar evolution is characterized by a star-disc locking mechanism. The disc-locking prevents the star to spin its rotation up, and its timescale depends on the disc lifetime. Some mechanisms can significantly shorten this lifetime, allowing a few stars to start spinning up much earlier than other stars. In the present study, we aim to in

In this article, we show that in a $Q$-doubling space $(X,d,μ),$ $Q>1,$ which satisfies a chain condition, if we have a $Q$-Poincaré inequality for a pair of functions $(u,g)$ where $g\in L^Q(X),$ then $u$ has Lebesgue points $H^h$-a.e. for $h(t)=\log^{1-Q-ε}(1/t).$ We also discuss how the existence of Lebesgue points follows for $u\in W^{1,Q}(X)$ where $(X,

In contrast with existing works which rely on the same type of energy-efficiency measure to design distributed power control policies, the present work takes into account the presence of a finite packet buffer at the transmitter side and the impact of transport protocols. This approach is relevant when the transmitters have a non-zero energy cost even when t

We study removable sets for the Orlicz-Sobolev space $W^{1,Ψ},$ for functions of the form $Ψ(t)=t^p\log^λ(e+t).$ We show that $(p,λ)$-porous sets lying in a hyperplane are removable and that this result is essentially sharp.

Accurate simulations of various physical processes on digital computers requires huge computing performance, therefore accelerating these scientific and engineering applications has a great importance. Density of programmable logic devices doubles in every 18 months according to Moore&#39;s Law. On the recent devices around one hundred double precision float

Based on the constituent quasiparticle model of the quark-gluon plasma (QGP), color quantum path-integral Monte-Carlo (PIMC) calculations of the thermodynamic properties of the QGP are performed. We extend our previous zero chemical potential simulations to the QGP at finite baryon chemical potential. The results indicate that color PIMC can be applied not o

The intermediate domain of strong-field ionization between the tunneling and the multiphoton regimes is investigated using the strong field approximation and the imaginary-time method. An intuitive model for the dynamics is developed which describes the ionization process within a nonadiabatic tunneling picture with a coordinate dependent electron energy dur

Consider the cellular downlink Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) system where a single transmitter transmits signals to multiple receivers on multiple discrete subcarriers. To adapt fast channel fluctuations, the transmitter should be able to dynamically allocate subcarrier and power resources. Assuming perfect channel knowledge, we formu

The CMS Outer Hadron Calorimeter (HO) is the first large-scale hadron collider detector to use Silicon Photomultipliers (SiPMs). To build the system we installed and characterized 3000 SiPMs of which 1656 channels of SiPMs with 40MHz readout have currently been installed into CMS. We report on comparisons of in-situ and vendor-supplied measurements. We prese

Model evolution is widely considered as a subject under research. Despite its role in research, common purpose concepts, approaches, solutions, and methodologies are missing. Limiting the scope to model libraries makes model evolution and related quality concerns manageable, as we show below. In this paper, we put forward our quality staged model evolution t

Local regions of anomalous particle dispersion, and intermittent events that occur in turbulent flows can greatly influence the global statistical description of the flow. These local behaviors can be identified and analyzed by comparing the growth of neighboring convex hulls of Lagrangian tracer particles. Although in our simulations of homogeneous turbulen
