Holographic Entanglement Entropy at Finite Temperature
Using a holographic proposal for the entanglement entropy we study its
behavior in various supergravity backgrounds. We are particularly interested in
the possibility of using the entanglement entropy as way to detect transitions
induced by the presence horizons. We consider several geometries with horizons:
the black hole in , nonextremal Dp-branes, dyonic black holes
asymptotically to and also Schwarzschild black holes in global
coordinates. Generically, we find that the entanglement entropy does not
exhibit a transition, that is, one of the two possible configurations always
dominates.Comment: v3: 31 pp, ten figures, modified to match version accepted by IJMP
Monitoring the impact of desert dust outbreaks for air quality for health studies
We review the major features of desert dust outbreaks that are relevant to the assessment of dust impacts upon human health. Our ultimate goal is to provide scientific guidance for the acquisition of relevant population exposure information for epidemiological studies tackling the short and long term health effects of desert dust. We first describe the source regions and the typical levels of dust particles in regions close and far away from the source areas, along with their size, composition, and bio-aerosol load. We then describe the processes by which dust may become mixed with anthropogenic particulate matter (PM) and/or alter its load in receptor areas. Short term health effects are found during desert dust episodes in different regions of the world, but in a number of cases the results differ when it comes to associate the effects to the bulk PM, the desert dust-PM, or non-desert dust-PM. These differences are likely due to the different monitoring strategies applied in the epidemiological studies, and to the differences on atmospheric and emission (natural and anthropogenic) patterns of desert dust around the world. We finally propose methods to allow the discrimination of health effects by PM fraction during dust outbreaks, and a strategy to implement desert dust alert and monitoring systems for health studies and air quality management.The systematic review was funded by WHO with as part of a Grant Agreement with Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Norway.

Coulomb Phase Gluon Scattering at Strong Coupling
We calculate corrections to gluon scattering amplitudes in a Coulomb phase
using gauge/string duality. The Coulomb phase considered is a maximal rank
breaking of . This problem
therefore has 3 scales involved: 1) the scale of the massive fields
arising from the spontaneous breaking of the gauge group; 2) The scale of the
scattering, characterized by the Mandelstam variables ; 3) The IR
regulator . We find corrections in the hard scattering limit , and also find below threshold corrections
with . We find that the corrections in the second case
are finite, and so are IR regulator independent.Comment: 17+17 pages, 3 figure
On Horizons and Plane Waves
We investigate the possibility of having an event horizon within several
classes of metrics that asymptote to the maximally supersymmetric IIB plane
wave. We show that the presence of a null Killing vector (not necessarily
covariantly constant) implies an effective separation of the Einstein equations
into a standard and a wave component. This feature may be used to generate new
supergravity solutions asymptotic to the maximally supersymmetric IIB plane
wave, starting from standard seed solutions such as branes or intersecting
branes in flat space. We find that in many cases it is possible to preserve the
extremal horizon of the seed solution. On the other hand, non-extremal
deformations of the plane wave solution result in naked singularities. More
generally, we prove a no-go theorem against the existence of horizons for
backgrounds with a null Killing vector and which contain at most null matter
fields. Further attempts at turning on a nonzero Hawking temperature by
introducing additional matter have proven unsuccessful. This suggests that one
must remove the null Killing vector in order to obtain a horizon. We provide a
perturbative argument indicating that this is in fact possible.Comment: 46 pp, 1 figur
Efectos del vibrado del pino piñonero (Pinus pinea L.) en el vigor de los árboles: densidad de copa, crecimiento de guías y parásitos de debilidad
In the Northwest of Spain the mechanized harvesting of pine cones is more and more frequenIn order to quantify the effects of vibration on the vigor of the trees, parcels of stone pine were planted in plateau and countryside. Both the mechanized and manual harvests were analyzed in adult and young trees. The growth of the tree shoots was measured. The presence and abundance of three insect plagues was analyzed in those same trees: Tomicus piniperda, Rhyacionia buoliana and Thaumetopoea pityocampa. The average shoot length of those trees manually harvested was superior to that of those mechanically harvested. The difference was very significant in young trees (40-50 years old) in the countryside and in adult trees (more than 80 years) on the plateau. Rhyacionia buoliana was more abundant in adult trees that young trees, but the relation of its abundance with the harvest method was not seen. The presence of Tomicus piniperda was rare and was only detected in mechanically harvested stands. Thaumetopoea pityocampa was more frequent in trees harvested by hand than those harvested mechanically and was more abundant in young stands. The percentage tree of defoliation was low in all stands independent of harvest method.En el noroeste de España es cada vez más frecuente la recolección mecanizada de piña. Para cuantificar los efectos del vibrado sobre el vigor de los árboles se instalaron en montes de páramo y de campiña parcelas donde se realizó cosecha mecanizada y manual en arbolado adulto y joven. Se midió el crecimiento de los brotes y se analizó la presencia y abundancia de tres insectos plaga sobre estos árboles, Tomicus piniperda y Rhyacionia buoliana, considerados parásitos de debilidad, así como Thaumetopoea pityocampa. La longitud media de los brotes fue superior en árboles cosechados manualmente. La diferencia es importante en árboles jóvenes (40-50 años) de campiñas y en árboles adultos (más de 80 años) de páramos. Rhyacionia buoliana fue más abundante en árboles adultos que en arbolado joven, pero no se vio relación de su abundancia con el método de cosecha. Tomicus piniperda fue escaso y sólo se detectó en rodales cosechados mecanizadamente. Thaumetopoea pityocampa es más frecuente en rodales cosechados manualmente, y en rodales jóvenes lo que indica que selecciona los árboles de crecimiento más vigoroso para alimentarse. Los porcentajes de defoliación fueron bajos en todas las parcelas
Testing the Gaussianity of the COBE-DMR data with spherical wavelets
We investigate the Gaussianity of the 4-year COBE-DMR data (in HEALPix
pixelisation) using an analysis based on spherical Haar wavelets. We use all
the pixels lying outside the Galactic cut and compute the skewness, kurtosis
and scale-scale correlation spectra for the wavelet coefficients at each scale.
We also take into account the sensitivity of the method to the orientation of
the input signal. We find a detection of non-Gaussianity at per cent
level in just one of our statistics. Taking into account the total number of
statistics computed, we estimate that the probability of obtaining such a
detection by chance for an underlying Gaussian field is 0.69. Therefore, we
conclude that the spherical wavelet technique shows no strong evidence of
non-Gaussianity in the COBE-DMR data.Comment: latex file 7 pages, 6 figures, submitted to MNRA
Predicting the mineral composition of dust aerosols: Insights from elemental composition measured at the Izaña Observatory
Regional variations of dust mineral composition are fundamental to climate impacts but generally neglected in climate models. A challenge for models is that atlases of soil composition are derived from measurements following wet sieving, which destroys the aggregates potentially emitted from the soil. Aggregates are crucial to simulating the observed size distribution of emitted soil particles. We use an extension of brittle fragmentation theory in a global dust model to account for these aggregates. Our method reproduces the size-resolved dust concentration along with the approximately size-invariant fractional abundance of elements like Fe and Al in the decade-long aerosol record from the Izaña Observatory, off the coast of West Africa. By distinguishing between Fe in structural and free forms, we can attribute improved model behavior to aggregation of Fe and Al-rich clay particles. We also demonstrate the importance of size-resolved measurements along with elemental composition analysis to constrain models.This research was supported by the Department of Energy (DE-SC0006713), the NASA Modeling, Analysis and Prediction Program, and the Aerosol Global Atmospheric Watch program of Izaña Observatory, which has been funded by AEMET and several research projects of the Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness of Spain and the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) including POLLINDUST (CGL2011-26259) and AEROATLAN (CGL2015-66229-P)
Dynamics of a Bose-Einstein condensate in a symmetric triple-well trap
We present a complete analysis of the dynamics of a Bose-Einstein condensate
trapped in a symmetric triple-well potential. Our classical analogue treatment,
based on a time-dependent variational method using SU(3) coherent states,
includes the parameter dependence analysis of the equilibrium points and their
local stability, which is closely related to the condensate collective
behaviour. We also consider the effects of off-site interactions, and how these
"cross-collisions" may become relevant for a large number of trapped bosons.
Besides, we have shown analytically, by means of a simple basis transformation
in the single-particle space, that an integrable sub-regime, known as
twin-condensate dynamics, corresponds in the classical phase space to invariant
surfaces isomorphic to the unit sphere. However, the quantum dynamics preserves
the twin-condensate defining characteristics only partially, thus breaking the
invariance of the associated quantum subspace. Moreover, the periodic geometry
of the trapping potential allowed us to investigate the dynamics of finite
angular momentum collective excitations, which can be suppressed by the
emergence of chaos. Finally, using the generalized purity associated to the
su(3) algebra, we were able to quantify the dynamical classicality of a quantum
evolved system, as compared to the corresponding classical trajectory.Comment: 22 pages, 10 figure
