Pub Date : 2024-02-20 DOI: arxiv-2405.00020
A. Balbi, C. Grimaldi
The probability of detecting technosignatures (i.e. evidence of technologicalactivity beyond Earth) increases with their longevity, or the time intervalover which they manifest. Therefore, the assumed distribution of longevitieshas some bearing on the chances of success of technosignature searches, as wellas on the inferred age of technosignatures following a first contact. Here, weinvestigate the possibility that the longevity of technosignatures conforms tothe so-called Lindy's law, whereby, at any time, their remaining lifeexpectancy is roughly proportional to their age. We show that, if Lindy's lawapplies, the general tenet that the first detected technosignature ought to bevery long lived may be overruled. We conclude by discussing the number ofemitters that had to appear, over the history of the Galaxy, in order for oneof them to be detectable today from Earth.
探测到技术信号(即地球以外技术活动的证据)的概率随其寿命或表现的时间间隔而增加。因此,假定的寿命分布对技术信号搜索的成功几率以及首次接触后技术信号的推断年龄有一定影响。在这里,我们研究了技术信号的寿命符合所谓林迪定律的可能性,即在任何时候,技术信号的剩余寿命都与它们的年龄大致成正比。我们的研究表明,如果林迪定律适用,那么第一个被探测到的技术信号应该非常长寿的一般信条就可能被推翻。最后,我们讨论了银河系历史上必须出现多少个发射器,才能使其中的一个在今天从地球上探测到。

Cycling on rough roads: A model for resistance and vibration 在崎岖道路上骑自行车:阻力和振动模型
Pub Date : 2024-02-16 DOI: arxiv-2405.00019
Miles M. Turner
Minimising opposing forces is a matter of interest to most cyclists. Theseforces arise from passage through air ("drag") and interaction with the roadsurface ("resistance"). Recent work recognises that resistance forces arise notonly from the deformation of the tyre ("rolling resistance") but also fromirregularities in the road surface ("roughness resistance"), which lead topower dissipation in the body of the rider through vibration. The latter effectmay also have an adverse impact on human health. In this work we offer aquantitative theory of roughness resistance and vibration that links theseeffects to a surface characterisation in terms of the International RoughnessIndex (IRI). We show that the roughness resistance and the Vibration Dose Value(or VDV, the usual vibration dosage metric) can be expressed in terms ofelementary formulae. The roughness resistance depends only on the verticalstiffness of the bicycle and the roughness index. Surprisingly, otherapparently relevant parameters, such as physiological characteristics of thebicycle rider and other features of the bicycle, do not enter. For roads ofmoderate roughness, roughness resistance is larger than rolling resistance. Forvery rough roads, roughness resistance is larger than aerodynamic drag. So onlyon roads of high quality (in most jurisdictions, accounting for less than 10~%of the total) can roughness resistance be ignored. Roughness resistance can bemitigated by reducing the vertical stiffness of the bicycle. In common withother recent reports, we find that almost any cycling activity will breachpublic health guidelines relating to Vibration Dose Value.
最大限度地减少反作用力是大多数骑车人关心的问题。这些力来自于通过空气("阻力")和与路面的相互作用("阻力")。最近的研究发现,阻力不仅来自轮胎的变形("滚动阻力"),还来自路面的不平整("粗糙阻力"),这导致骑行者的身体通过振动耗散阻力。后一种效应也可能对人体健康产生不利影响。在这项工作中,我们提出了粗糙度阻力和振动的定量理论,将这些影响与国际粗糙度指数(IRI)的表面特征联系起来。我们表明,粗糙度阻力和振动剂量值(或 VDV,通常的振动剂量指标)可以用基本公式表示。抗粗糙度仅取决于自行车的垂直刚度和粗糙度指数。令人惊讶的是,其他明显相关的参数,如自行车骑行者的生理特征和自行车的其他特征,并不参与其中。对于中等粗糙度的道路,粗糙度阻力大于滚动阻力。对于非常粗糙的路面,粗糙阻力大于空气阻力。因此,只有在高质量的道路上(在大多数地区,所占比例低于 10%),才能忽略粗糙阻力。粗糙阻力可以通过降低自行车的垂直刚度来缓解。与最近的其他报告一样,我们发现几乎所有的骑车活动都会违反与振动剂量值有关的公共健康准则。

By obtaining the assumption that planetary dust particles can escape from thegravitational attraction of a planet, we consider the possibility for the dustgrains to leave the star's system by means of the radiation pressure. By takingthe typical dust parameters into account, we consider their dynamics and showthat they can reach the deep cosmos, taking part in panspermia. It has beenshown that, during $5$ billion years, the dust grains will reach $10^5$ stellarsystems, and by taking the Drake equation into account, it has been shown thatthe whole galaxy will be full of planetary dust particles.
通过假设行星尘埃粒子可以摆脱行星的引力,我们考虑了尘埃粒子通过辐射压力离开恒星系统的可能性。通过考虑典型的尘埃参数,我们研究了它们的动力学,并证明它们可以到达宇宙深处,参与泛生现象。结果表明,在 50 亿年的时间里,尘粒将到达 10^5 美元的恒星系统,并且通过考虑德雷克方程,证明了整个银河系将充满行星尘粒。

The complexity of science and its frequent lack of accessibility oftencreates disinterest among the general public. Furthermore, there exists a gapbetween the public perception of science and the reality of scientificresearch, which severely limits the scope of public engagement with science. Anew docuseries, Curiosity-The Making of a Scientist, created at the STAGE Labat the University of Chicago, addresses this issue by increasing the awarenessand excitement around science and scientists. Each film of Curiosity focuses ona single scientist and tells the story of how they became a scientist byinterweaving elements of their personal life together with the successes andfailures they encounter in their scientific work. Our intended audienceincludes scientists and non-scientists with little or no previous exposure toquantum physics or science. The pilot of the series, SUPERPOSITION, is a25-minute film about a graduate student in quantum physics at the University ofChicago. To evaluate the success of this film, it was screened to severalaudiences covering most age groups, and audience members were requested to fillout a detailed anonymous survey after the viewing. Via these surveys, viewersreported an increased interest in science and a connection to the personalstory of the graduate student that was purposefully woven throughout the film.
科学的复杂性及其经常缺乏的可及性导致公众对科学不感兴趣。此外,公众对科学的认知与科学研究的现实之间也存在差距,这严重限制了公众参与科学的范围。针对这一问题,芝加哥大学 STAGE 实验室制作了一部新的专题片《好奇心--科学家的诞生》,以提高人们对科学和科学家的认识并激发他们的热情。好奇心》的每部影片都聚焦于一位科学家,通过将他们的个人生活与他们在科学工作中遇到的成功与失败交织在一起,讲述他们如何成为科学家的故事。我们的目标受众包括科学家和以前很少或根本没有接触过量子物理或科学的非科学家。该系列的先导片《SUPERPOSITION》是一部 25 分钟的影片,讲述的是芝加哥大学一名量子物理学研究生的故事。为了评估这部影片的成功与否,我们为多个年龄段的观众放映了这部影片,并要求观众在观影后填写一份详细的匿名调查表。通过这些调查,观众反映对科学的兴趣有所提高,并与影片中特意穿插的研究生的个人经历产生了联系。

This paper reviews the physics of stars, the type, structure, evolution andstability. Simple thermodynamics and statistical mechanics are used to show theinner working of white dwarf and neutron stars. The major concentration of thepaper will be on white dwarf stars although in some places references will alsobe made to neutron stars where the relations can be extended easily. It can beshown that a maximum mass limit is attached to each type of star which can bederived rigorously. Maximum entropy can be used to show that the gravitationalcontraction is balanced by the degeneracy pressure created by the electrons inthe case of white dwarfs, and neutrons and protons which constitute the matterof the neutron star. Finally the kinetic equations which describe theluminosity of the star and the radiative transfer are introduced.

We study the collision dynamics of a spinning cue ball approaching a staticobject ball with equal mass on a plane, common in billiards. While typicalcollisions in billiards are nearly perfectly elastic, with a restitutioncoefficient close to 1 and low friction, we explore three deviations from idealelastic collisions: The non-elastic nature, the friction effects between theballs during collision, the friction between the ball and the table. Wedescribe the detailed collision outcomes, emphasizing the importance ofconsidering frictions. We reveal that friction, both between the balls and withthe table, significantly influences the post-collision motions, deviating fromthe expectations of a purely elastic collision. The insights gained contributeto a better understanding of ball dynamics, impacting strategies and gameplayin billiards.
我们研究了旋转母球在平面上接近质量相等的静态物体球时的碰撞动力学,这在台球运动中很常见。台球运动中的典型碰撞几乎是完全弹性的,其恢复系数接近 1,摩擦力很小:非弹性性质、碰撞过程中球与球之间的摩擦效应以及球与球台之间的摩擦。我们描述了详细的碰撞结果,强调了考虑摩擦的重要性。我们发现,球与球之间以及球与桌面之间的摩擦对碰撞后的运动产生了重大影响,偏离了对纯弹性碰撞的预期。我们获得的见解有助于更好地理解球的动力学,从而影响台球运动的策略和玩法。

Evolution of World Running Record Performances for Men and Women: Physiological Characteristics 男女世界长跑纪录的演变:生理特征
Pub Date : 2024-01-17 DOI: arxiv-2401.09171
Thorsten Emig, Guillaume Adam
Running world records (WRs) contain information about physiologicalcharacteristics that determine running performance. The progression of WRs overtime encode the evolution of these characteristics. Here we demonstrate that apreviously established model for running performance describes WRs since 1918for men and since 1984 for women with high accuracy. The physiologicalparameters extracted from WR for each year are interpreted in terms ofhistorical changes in training approaches and corresponding physiologicaladaptions, technological progress, social effects, and also the use ofperformance enhancing drugs. While the last two decades had witnessedstagnation of WRs, recent improvements in endurance have enable new WRs,presumably aided by recent technological advancements.
跑步世界纪录(WR)包含了决定跑步成绩的生理特征信息。世界纪录随时间的推移而不断变化,其中包含了这些特征的演变过程。在这里,我们证明了之前建立的跑步成绩模型可以高精度地描述自 1918 年以来的男子世界纪录和自 1984 年以来的女子世界纪录。从每年的 WR 中提取的生理参数可以从训练方法和相应生理适应的历史变化、技术进步、社会影响以及提高成绩药物的使用等方面进行解释。虽然过去二十年见证了 WR 的停滞,但最近耐力的提高使得新的 WR 出现,这可能得益于最近的技术进步。

Audio Universe: Tour of the Solar System is an audio-visual show forplanetariums and flatscreen viewing. It is designed in collaboration withmembers of the blind and vision impaired (BVI) community, BVI specialistteachers and their pupils. It aims to be suitable for audiences with all sightlevels by representing key concepts through sound and using a carefullyconstructed narration. We present results from 291 audience evaluations fromonline viewers and audience members of several planetarium showings in the UKand Italy. We find a strong appreciation from BVI and non-BVI audiences, with~90% scoring 4 or 5 (out of 5) for both how useful and enjoyable the soundsare. We also present results from surveying planetariums and communicationleaders known to have downloaded the show. We find international success forspecial events, for BVI audiences and for those with other special educationalneeds and disabilities (SEND; including sensory needs and learningdifficulties). Feedback suggests this is due to its multi-sensory, clearlynarrated, and low sensory load (calm) production. However, we also describelimitations identified during this evaluation exercise, including the show'slimited incorporation into regular (non-special) planetarium programmes. Thishighlights an ongoing challenge of creating a fully inclusive planetariumexperience.
音频宇宙:太阳系之旅》是一部供行星馆和平面屏幕观看的视听节目。它是与盲人和视力障碍者(BVI)社区成员、盲人和视力障碍者专业教师及其学生合作设计的。它通过声音和精心制作的旁白来表现关键概念,旨在适合所有视力水平的观众观看。我们介绍了英国和意大利的一些天文馆放映活动中 291 名在线观众和观众的评价结果。我们发现,BVI 和非 BVI 观众对声音的实用性和愉悦性都给予了高度评价,其中约 90% 的观众打出了 4 分或 5 分(满分 5 分)。我们还介绍了对已知下载过该节目的天文馆和通信领导者的调查结果。我们发现,该节目在特殊活动、英属维尔京群岛观众以及有其他特殊教育需求和残疾(SEND;包括感官需求和学习困难)的观众中取得了国际性成功。反馈表明,这要归功于其多感官、清晰的叙事和低感官负荷(平静)的制作。不过,我们也介绍了在评估过程中发现的局限性,包括将该节目有限制地纳入常规(非特殊)天文馆节目。这凸显了在创造完全包容的天文馆体验方面所面临的持续挑战。
