Our model accurately reproduces the observed fraction of boxy systems asa function of luminosity and halo mass, for both central galaxies andsatellites.

This provides theoretical support for the conjecture of Pasquali et al(2007) that the stellar mass of an early-type galaxy is the main parameter thatgoverns its isophotal shape. We argue that the observed dichotomy of early-typegalaxies has a natural explanation within hierarchical structure formation, anddoes not require AGN feedback. Rather, we argue that it owes to the fact thatmore massive systems (i) have more massive progenitors, (ii) assemble later,and (iii) have a larger fraction of early-type progenitors. Each of these threetrends causes the cold gas mass fraction of the progenitors of more massiveearly-types to be lower, so that their last major merger was dryer.

This treatment of ``microclumping'' has led to reducing empiricalmass-loss rates by factors of two and more. Aims: Stellar wind clumps can beoptically thick in spectral lines. We investigate how this ``macroclumping''impacts on empirical mass-loss rates. Methods: The Potsdam Wolf-Rayet (PoWR)model atmosphere code is generalized in the ``formal integral'' to account forclumps that are not necessarily optically thin. Results: Optically thick clumpsreduce the effective opacity. This has a pronounced effect on the emergentspectrum. Our modeling for the O-type supergiant zeta Puppis reveals that theoptically thin H-alpha line is not affected by wind porosity, but that the PVresonance doublet becomes significantly weaker when macroclumping is taken intoaccount. The reported discrepancies between resonance-line andrecombination-line diagnostics can be resolved entirely with the macroclumpingmodeling without downward revision of the mass-loss rate. Conclusions:Mass-loss rates inferred from optically thin emission, such as the H-alpha linein O stars, are not influenced by macroclumping.

Wecompare three outflow models: No outflows, a \"constant wind\" (cw) model thatemulates the popular Dekel & Silk (1986) scenario, and a ``momentum-drivenwind\" (vzw) model. We find that only the vzw scaling reproduces the observedz~2 MZR's slope, amplitude, and scatter. Comparing our fully three-dimensionalsimulations with a simple one-zone chemical evolution model, we find that theMZR can be understood in terms of three parameters: (1) The equilibriummetallicity Z_eq=y*SFR/ACC (where y=true yield), reflecting the enrichmentbalance between star formation rate SFR and gas accretion rate ACC; (2) thedilution time t_d=M_g/ACC, representing the timescale for a galaxy to return toZ_eq after a metallicity-perturbing interaction; and (3) the blowout massM_blowout, which is the galaxy stellar mass above which winds can escape itshalo. When outflows with mass loading factor MLF are present, galaxies belowM_blowout obey Z_eq = y/(1+MLF), while above M_blowout, Z_eq->y. Our cw modelhas M_blowout ~ 10^10 M_sun, which yields a sharp upturn in the MZR above thisscale and a flat MZR with large scatter below it, in strong disagreement withobservations. Our vzw model reproduces the observed Z_g \\propto M_*^0.3 becauseZ_eq \\propto MLF^-1 \\propto M_*^1/3 when MLF >> 1 (i.e. at low masses). Theflattening of the MZR at M_* > 10^10.5 M_sun observed by Tremonti et al.

Functionallysimilar proteins can differ substantially in their robustness to mutations andcapacity to evolve new functions, but it has remained unclear whether any ofthese differences might be due to evolutionary selection for these properties. RESULTS: Here we use laboratory experiments to demonstrate that evolutionfavors protein mutational robustness if the evolving population is sufficientlylarge. We neutrally evolve cytochrome P450 proteins under identical selectionpressures and mutation rates in populations of different sizes, and show thatproteins from the larger and thus more polymorphic population tend towardshigher mutational robustness. Proteins from the larger population also evolvegreater stability, a biophysical property that is known to enhance bothmutational robustness and evolvability. The excess mutational robustness andstability is well described by existing mathematical theories, and can bequantitatively related to the way that the proteins occupy their neutralnetwork.

The reason is that realistic parton showersare required to conserve four-momentum at each vertex. In this paper weinvestigate in detail how four-momentum conservation is enforced in a standardparton shower and why this destroys the analytic control of the probabilitydistribution. We show how to modify a parton shower algorithm such that itconserves four-momentum at each vertex, but for which the full analytic form ofthe probability distribution is known.

This agrees withthe Ledlow-Owen relation which states that the radio luminosity at the FRI/FRIItransition depends on the optical luminosity of the host, L_radio ~L_optical^1.8, because both L_radio and L_optical relate to AGN nuclearparameters.

While it has been successfullyemployed in a wide variety of applications, there are relatively fewtheoretical guarantees of convergence and correctness for general loopy graphsthat may have many short cycles. Of these, even fewer provide exact ``necessaryand sufficient'' characterizations. In this paper we investigate the problem of using max-product to find themaximum weight matching in an arbitrary graph with edge weights. This is doneby first constructing a probability distribution whose mode corresponds to theoptimal matching, and then running max-product. Weighted matching can also beposed as an integer program, for which there is an LP relaxation. Thisrelaxation is not always tight. In this paper we show that \\begin{enumerate}\\item If the LP relaxation is tight, then max-product always converges, andthat too to the correct answer. \\item If the LP relaxation is loose, thenmax-product does not converge. \\end{enumerate} This provides an exact,data-dependent characterization of max-product performance, and a preciseconnection to LP relaxation, which is a well-studied optimization technique.Also, since LP relaxation is known to be tight for bipartite graphs, ourresults generalize other recent results on using max-product to find weightedmatchings in bipartite graphs.", "output": ""} {"instruction": "what is the prompt that generates the input?", "input": "We consider the discretization y(t+\\epsilon)=y(t-\\epsilon)+2\\epsilon\\big(1-y(t)^{2}\\big), $\\epsilon>0$ a small parameter, of the logistic differential equation$y'=2\\big(1-y^{2}\\big)$, which can also be seen as a discretization of thesystem {y'=2\\big(1-v^{2}\\big), v'= 2\\big(1-y^{2}\\big).

Let $N_t$ denotethe number of vertices visited precisely $t$ times by a non-backtracking randomwalk of length $n$ on a regular $n$-vertex expander of fixed degree and girth$g$.

Consistency requires that the corresponding boxmeasurements be complementary as well. At first sight it seems, however, thatthese measurements can be jointly performed with arbitrary precision: theypertain to different systems (the center of mass of the box and an internalclock, respectively). But this is deceptive. As we show by explicitcalculation, although the relevant quantities are simultaneously measurable,they develop non-vanishing commutators when calculated back to the time ofescape of the photon. This justifies Bohr's qualitative arguments in a preciseway; and it illustrates how the details of the dynamics conspire to guaranteethe requirements of complementarity.

We also showthat if a tensegrity is minimally bar equivalent (it is bar equivalent butremoving any open set of edges makes it no longer so), then it has a strictlypositive stress.
