Visualization study on the mechanisms of net vapor generation in water subcooled flow boiling under moderate pressure conditions

Abstract Visualization study using a high speed camera was carried out to explore the mechanisms of net vapor generation (NVG) in subcooled flow boiling. The flow direction was vertical upward, the working fluid was water, and the experiments were conducted under moderate pressure conditions; a rather hydrophilic surface was used as a heated surface. In all the experimental conditions tested in this work, the bubbles nucleated on the heated surface typically departed from the nucleation sites and then slid upward on the vertical heated surface. When the NVG condition was exceeded, the number of bubbles increased noticeably and the range of bubble size became wider with an increase in the thermal-equilibrium quality. It was however found that the rapid increase of the void fraction after the NVG condition was reached could mainly be attributed to the formation of a small number of large bubbles. It was also observed that the large bubbles were mostly produced at the nucleation sites immediately after other sliding bubbles passed over the sites. It was therefore supposed that the production of large bubbles in the wake region that was formed behind the preceding sliding bubbles was a key phenomenon in causing the NVG in the present experiments.
Beyond rationality in algebraic cft: mathematical structures and models

Conformal Field Theory (CFT) in low dimensions is one of the most active branches of modern physics, it is amenable to rigorous ""axiomatic"" formulations, hence it is naturally connected to various areas of mathematical research. For example, to CFTs one can associate braided tensor categories (describing superselection sectors, defects, topological field theories) and subfactors, i.e., inclusions of von Neumann algebras with trivial center (describing extensions, duality properties and exotic charge localizations). All these areas are independently pairwise correlated, e.g., subfactors with CFTs, subfactors with tensor categories, and they have their own history and an extremely profound literature.
 
The aim of my research project is to analyze models of CFT, together with the associated mathematical objects, which are not necessarily ""rational"", i.e., which may admit infinitely many superselection sectors (""particle"" excitations of the vacuum). Examples of non-rational CFTs (which are the majority among all CFTs) come from Virasoro minimal models with central charge bigger than one (there are continuously many), and global gauge theories with respect to a compact non-finite group of internal symmetries.

Non-rationality of a CFT also implies that the ""size"" of the associated categories and subfactors have to be infinite, namely one is led to consider categories with infinite spectrum and subfactors with infinite Jones index. These mathematical objects are natural generalizations of their ""finite"" counterparts (modular and fusion categories, finite index subfactors), they are physically motivated, but they attracted the attention of researchers only in recent times.

This research project aims to study structural properties of non-rational CFTs using modern machinery (e.g., generalized Q-systems, ind-categories, planar algebras), to study infinite braided tensor categories and infinite index subfactors arising from them, and exploit their interplay.
METHOD AND DEVICE

The present invention relates to a method for controlling a rock drilling process, in which an impulse-generating device comprising an impact element transmits a shock wave to a tool connected to the impulse-generating device, whereby a portion of the energy of the shock wave is transmitted to the rock by means of the tool and a portion of the energy of the shock wave is reflected and brought back to the impulse-generating device as reflected energy. The method comprises steps of generating at least one parameter valu e representing the reflected energy, and regulating the interaction of said impact element with said tool at least partially based on said value or valu es to control the rise time and/or length of said shock wave.

Human Face Super-Resolution Based on NSCT

The nonsubsampled contourlet transform (NSCT) is a useful tool for vision and image processing, which has the property of multi-scale, multi-direction, and shift-invariant. In this paper, based on the relations between NSCT coefficients, we propose a novel strategy for single-frame human face super-resolution. Both the high resolution (HR) and low resolution (LR) images in the training set are decomposed beforehand by NSCT. Given a low resolution (LR) image, we first decompose it by NSCT, and then use the locally linear embedding (LLE) to learn the target SR image's NSCT coefficients via our proposed SR strategies. At last we use the inverse transformation to compose the final SR image. Extensive experiments on CAS-PEAL Face Database demonstrate that our SR method outperforms the state-of-art methods both visually and in terms of SSIM and PSNR. Results on real world images further verify the effectiveness and superiority of our method.

Network techniques for interaction quenches

Understanding the universal features of the non-equilibrium dynamics 
of strongly interacting one-dimensional quantum many-body systems 
is one of the most challenging and intriguing aspect of the recent researches  
in the broad domain of the quantum many-particle physics.
In this project one merges analytical with numerical methods in order to explore 
the exotic behavior of interacting quantum models when brought out-of-equilibrium.
Indeed, although the equilibrium properties of quantum systems could be understood
in terms of standard approaches, away from the equilibrium a complete understanding is still missing.
In particular, the project aims to fill the lack of knowledge still present in this exciting domain, 
pursuing two main ideas: (i) The development of new numerical methods based on tensor-network
techniques, so as to explore the post-quench dynamics in closed quantum systems; 
with a special attention to the very recent continuous version of such algorithms.
(ii) A better theoretical understanding (strongly supported by the numerical approach in (i)) 
of the effects of symmetry breaking, interactions and integrability, in the non-equilibrium dynamics; 
especially with respect to the non-equilibrium transport of energy and particle throughout the systems as well as
a universal description of the stationary states (both equilibrium and non-equilibrium) that 
emerge at late times. 
Beside its conceptual importance, a complete universal characterization of the non-equilibrium dynamics
of 1D quantum systems will have various application in quantum engineering, being a
crucial step forward to construct a quantum computer.
Microstructure and property of WC/steel matrix composites

Steel matrix composites (SMCs) with 5CrNiMo steel as matrix and tugnsten carbide (WC) particles as hard phase were prepared by inductive electroslag casting technology. The influence of annealing, forging state and quenching tempering state on the microstructures of the particle-reinforced SMCs were investigated by metallographic analysis method. The particle composition and the composition change of the boundary were tested by energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy with the scanning electron microscope, and the macro and microhardness were determined by Rockwell hardness tester and microhardness tester. The results show that in most parts of the SMCs, the distribution of WC particles was relatively uniform. White WC particles wrapped around a circle of black stripe Fe 3 W 3 C compound carbides. A certain thickness of the transition layer existed on the interface of the WC particle and steel matrix, and two kinds of WC grains for ‘iron rich’ and ‘iron poor’ appeared. The macro and microhardness of the composite material improved significantly than that of the 5CrNiMo steel after inductive electroslag casting.
KnowYourColors: Visual dashboards for blood metrics and healthcare analytics

The understanding of medical test results is markedly improved through the use of visual analytics. While traditional theorists in the field of healthcare analytics seek to improve decision making through data mining and machine learning, Visual Analytics augments that intelligence by providing an interface to integrate all of the data in a composite image. KnowYourColors™ is a visual analytics interface providing many dashboards to help the healthcare and insurance providers make better decisions in treatment and spending. This paper discusses many of the visualizations that are used in those applications. This includes new visualizations focused around polar area diagrams that are designed for showing blood metrics and visualizations of prior research work that help in the decision making process. This paper also demonstrates the effectiveness of the application and the reactions of physicians and patients.
The localization frontier---from many-body localization to amorphous topological matter via the landscape

The last decade has seen impressive progress in the control and understanding of closed many-body quantum systems, propelled by the drive towards quantum technology. This progress, especially in understanding nonequilibrium many-body quantum dynamics, is now severely hampered by the limited toolbox available for studying such systems. This is especially true in systems far from their absolute zero temperature ground states and where disorder or imperfections play a crucial role. Such systems are at the core of some of the most fundamental open questions in quantum physics, including how and when such systems become thermal and behave according to classical expectations, and when they do not. The many-body localization transition is a poorly understood, unconventional dynamic phase transition that is believed to prevent many-body quantum systems form thermalizing. The underlying mechanism for this transition is localization of particles due to quantum interference induced by scattering of imperfections. As a result of the localization, quantum information that otherwise would become inaccessible due to thermalization, can in principle be retained indefinitely.  The major objective of this project is to significantly enhance and enlarge the toolbox for study of quantum-many body dynamics and localization physics in general, and by applying the new tools address open fundamental questions about quantum physics. The problem is hard, and most approaches to new tools are at the outset likely to fail. The project therefore takes a multipronged approach by developing several new methods in addition to improving and applying old ones in new directions. This includes conceptually new approaches to localization (the localization landscape), inspired by recent advances in mathematics, which will be broadly applicable to localization physics in general. This broad applicability will be demonstrated by also applying it to the physics of amorphous topological matter.
Intersectional global citizenship: gendered and racialized renderings

This article intervenes in the emerging field of global citizenship studies by following in the footsteps of critical studies of national citizenship, which have shown that the seemingly neutral features of citizenship are gendered and racialized. The notion of “global citizenship” has gained currency in recent years and while there is not yet a canonized account of global citizenship, it is possible to identify the main shared features of different global citizenship accounts. While the “global” of global citizenship could denote the universality of the concept in contrast to national citizenship, this promise of inclusivity is not fulfilled. This article provides an intersectional reading of global citizenship theories and examples. Dominant global citizenship accounts, I argue, contain exclusionary and marginalizing tendencies and are biased toward a certain type of global subject whose responsibility is based on benevolence. A more inclusive and radical account of global citizenship can be built by dr...
Dostoevskij y “El viaje por Icaria” de Etienne Cabet

The present study is devoted to the influence on Dostoevsky of the works by a well-known French utopian socialist Etienne Cabet (1788-1856), and first of all of his very popular novel “Voyage en Icarie” (1840). It doesn’t consist in the direct Dostoevsky’s references to Cabet in his “Winter Notes on the Summer Impressions” (1863), “The Devils” (1871-1872) and “The Writer’s Diary”. It is shown that Dostoevsky’s “Stepanchikovo Village and its Inhabitants” (1859) is in fact a crypto-parody of “Voyage en Icarie”. That is why Dostoevsky’s work has some features of anti-utopia which were felt and described by some researchers. The writer had s strong interest to Cabet’s life as well. Dostoevsky’s outlook was shaped by his reaction to Russian and French socialism, Cabet’s socialism including.
The prosodic representation of composite structures in Brazilian Portuguese

In previous research, word–word compounds and stressed affix + word structures have been assigned to the same prosodic domain in Brazilian Portuguese (BP), on account of certain similarities in phonological behaviour (Silva 2010, Toneli 2014): both types of composite structures undergo vowel raising at the right edge of each element in the construction, and vowel sandhi processes between their elements. In this paper, I show that word–word compounds and stressed affix + word structures exhibit significant differences in stress patterns in BP, which supports their prosodization in two separate domains. While stressed affix + word structures are assigned secondary stress following the phonological word (PWd) stress algorithm, each element in word–word compounds behaves as an independent PWd with regard to the stress pattern that it exhibits. I thus propose that while stressed affix + word structures are recursively prosodized in the PWd domain, word–word compounds are prosodized in the composite group, the domain proposed by Vogel (2008, 2009) that immediately dominates the PWd and accounts for the prosodization of structures with compositional characteristics. The analysis reconciles two views on prosodic structure that are traditionally assumed to be mutually exclusive: the view that prosodic domains can be recursive (e.g. Inkelas 1990, Selkirk 1996) and the view that the prosodic hierarchy includes an additional domain specific to composite structures above the PWd (e.g. Vogel 2009, Vigário 2010).
Chipless RFID trasponders by using multi-resonant High-Impedance Surfaces

Multi-resonant metamaterial absorbers based on High-Impedance Surfaces (HIS) are proposed to be employed as a trasponder for Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID). The HIS comprises a Frequency Selective Surface (FSS) whose unit cell is formed by several concentric loop resonators. Every absorption peak of the reflection coefficient is associated to one of the concentric loop elements of the FSS and every peak can be removed or not depending on the presence of the corresponding loop. This allows to encode a bit sequence in the spectral response of the scattered field. The periodic structure is truncated to a 2×2 (30 mm × 30 mm) or 3×3 (45 mm × 45 mm) array for obtaining a compact device. The proposed configuration exhibits some intrinsic advantages with respect to already proposed chipless tags such as the possibility of increase the number of bits without any size increase, polarization independence and the capability of operating when mounted on metallic objects.

A Fast Finite-Difference Method for Micromagnetics Using the Magnetic Scalar Potential

We propose a method for the stray-field computation of ferromagnetic microstructures via the magnetic scalar potential. The scalar potential is computed using the convolution theorem and the fast Fourier transform. For the discrete convolution an analytical expression for the scalar potential of a uniformly magnetized cuboid is presented. A performance gain of up to 55% compared to common simulation codes is achieved and the memory consumption is reduced by 30%. Since the stray-field computation is the most time consuming part of micromagnetic simulations, this performance gain strongly influences the overall performance. The low memory consumption allows simulations with a high number of simulation cells. This enables simulations of large systems like arrays of coupled magnetic vortices or simulations with high spatial resolution. In conjunction with modern hardware, simulations of microstructures with atomic resolution become feasible.
Lamp retaining mechanism

An anti-theft arrangement such as an anti-theft lamp with retaining means for securing it into a conventional lamp holder comprises a first part 102 adapted to engage with the lamp holder, a second part 104, a keyway 106 extending substantially through the second part into the first part, and a key 108 which, when inserted into the keyway, prevents any substantial rotation of the second part with respect to the first part. In the absence of the key, the first and second parts are relatively rotatable, preventing the lamp from being unscrewed. Preferably the first part and the second part of the anti-theft lamp retaining means are connected by means of a breakable connection (110, Fig 4A) so the lamp can be installed without needing the key and then rotated to break this. The invention extends to a complete lamp including an anti-theft retaining means, an adapter for a lamp including an ant-theft retaining means, and an anti­theft retaining means per se, such as for a variety of non-lighting items, such as CCTV cameras.
METHOD OF MAKING WINDOW UNIT INCLUDING DIAMOND-LIKE CARBON (DLC) COATING

A method of making a coated article (e.g., window unit) and corresponding coated article are provided. A layer of or including diamond-like carbon (DLC) is formed on a glass substrate. Then, a protective layer is formed on the substrate over the DLC inclusive layer. During heat treatment (HT), the protective layer prevents the DLC inclusive layer from significantly burning off. Thereafter, the resulting coated glass substrate may be used as desired, it having been HT and including the protective DLC inclusive layer.
METHOD AND DEVICE FOR REMOVING MATERIAL FROM A POWER LINE WIRE

In the method a travelling wave motion is formed in a power line wire (100), which wave motion loosens material, like snow or ice, on the surface of the wire. A first support point and a second support point are arranged on the wire course, the distance of which support points being substantially smaller than the distance between the adjacent support posts of the power line, and the course of the wire is changed on the part between the support points. Then the wire is suddenly returned into its original course, which evokes a longitudinal and/or transverse wave motion in the wire. The course of the wire can be changed by applying a force on the wire between the first and second support points, in a direction transverse to the longitudinal direction of the wire. Thus the wire is returned into its original course by suddenly removing the force applied into the wire. In implementing of the method can a device hung on a wire be used, which device comprises a frame (10), a first support roll (12), a second support roll (14) and a transfer roll (16) movable in relation to the support rolls.
