description: The configuration interaction approach to nuclear structure uses the effective Hamiltonian in a finite orbital space. The various parts of this Hamiltonian and their interplay are responsible for specific features of physics including the shape of the mean field and level density. This interrelation is not sufficiently understood. We intend to study phase transitions between spherical and deformed shapes driven by different parts of the nuclear Hamiltonian and to establish the presence of the collective enhancement of the nuclear level density by varying the shell-model matrix elements. Varying the interaction matrix elements we define, for nuclei in the sd and pf shells, the sectors with spherical and deformed shapes. Using the moments method that does not require the full diagonalization we relate the shape transitions with the corresponding level density. Enhancement of the level density in the low-energy part of the spectrum is observed in clear correlation with a deformation phase transition induced mainly by the matrix elements of single-particle transfer. The single-particle transfer matrix elements in the shell model nuclear Hamiltonian are indeed the carriers of deformation, providing rotational observables and enhanced level densities.

Quantum Floquet anomalous Hall states and quantized ratchet effect in one-dimensional dimer chain driven by two ac electric fields

description: In condensed matter physics, one of the major topics is to find out and classify interesting novel topological matters and phenomena. Topologically nontrivial systems can also be achieved by using periodical driving fields. On the other hand, ratchet effect can be used to collect useful work from fluctuations or realize directed transport in periodically-driven systems. Here, we promote a dimer chain by applying two mutually-perpendicular ac electric fields, and obtain an effective two-dimensional Hamiltonian in the low-frequency regime. We thereby derive quantum Floquet anomalous Hall (QFAH) conductance and then find a quantized ratchet effect in the resulting current along the chain. Our further analysis shows that these originate from the electric fields only. This lengthwise quantized ratchet effect without magnetic field should be useful to designing novel high-performance electronic applications.

description: In this paper, we investigate the optimization of non-uniform linear antenna arrays (NULAs) for millimeter wave (mmWave) line-of-sight (LoS) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) channels. Our focus is on the maximization of the system effective multiplexing gain (EMG), by optimizing the individual antenna positions in the transmit/receive NULAs. Here the EMG is defined as the number of signal streams that are practically supported by the channel at a finite SNR. We first derive analytical expressions for the asymptotic channel eigenvalues with arbitrarily deployed NULAs when, asymptotically, the end-to-end distance is sufficiently large compared to the aperture sizes of the transmit/receive NULAs. Based on the derived expressions, we prove that, the asymptotically optimal NULA deployment that maximizes the achievable EMG should follow the groupwise Fekete-point distribution. Specifically, the antennas should be physically grouped into K separate uniform linear antenna arrays (ULAs) with the minimum feasible antenna spacing within each ULA, where K is the target EMG to be achieved; in addition, the centers of these K ULAs follow the Fekete-point distribution. We numerically verify the asymptotic optimality of such an NULA deployment and extend it to a groupwise projected arch type (PAT) NULA deployment, which provides a more practical option for mmWave LoS MIMO systems with realistic non-asymptotic configurations. Numerical examples are provided to demonstrate a significant capacity gain of the optimized NULAs over traditional ULAs.

X-Ray and Radio Emission from the Luminous Supernova 2005kd

description: SN 2005kd is among the most luminous supernovae (SNe) to be discovered at X-ray wavelengths. We have re-analysed all good angular resolution (better than $20"$ FWHM PSF) archival X-ray data for SN 2005kd. The data reveal an X-ray light curve that decreases as t$^{-1.62 \pm 0.06}$. Our modelling of the data suggests that the early evolution is dominated by emission from the forward shock in a high-density medium. Emission from the radiative reverse shock is absorbed by the cold dense shell formed behind the reverse shock. Our results suggest a progenitor with a mass-loss rate towards the end of its evolution of $\ge$ 4.3 $\times$ 10$^{-4} M_{\odot} \,{\rm yr}^{-1}$, for a wind velocity of 10 km s$^{-1}$, at 4.0 $\times$ 10$^{16}$ cm. This mass-loss rate is too high for most known stars, except perhaps hypergiant stars. A higher wind velocity would lead to a correspondingly higher mass-loss rate. A Luminous Blue Variable star undergoing a giant eruption could potentially fulfill this requirement, but would need a high mass-loss rate lasting for several hundred years, and need to explain the plateau observed in the optical light curve. The latter could perhaps be due to the ejecta expanding in the dense circumstellar material at relatively small radii. These observations are consistent with the fact that Type IIn SNe appear to expand into high density and high mass-loss rate environments, and also suggest rapid variability in the wind mass-loss parameters within at least the last 5000 years of stellar evolution prior to core-collapse.

description: This presentation was used in the work: https://zenodo.org/record/3562069 This work presents a case study for the network planning of a 5G backhaul in a dense urban area. The study is fed by estimated population density data and real geographical layout coming from a Spanish city (Cartagena, around 220,000 population). The layout includes current locations of 4G base stations, which are assumed to place also new 5G macrocells, and real positions of lamp posts. The study assumes (i) an agreement among mobile operators to share the 5G network infrastructure, and (ii) a hypothetical agreement with the city hall, where the 5G deployment can be done by using city lamp posts for installing microcells, covering the city with a broadband 5G network outdoor access. An algorithm has been implemented to solve the dimensioning problem, as an Integer Linear Programming (ILP) technique. The deployment cost is proportional to the number of microcells to be installed in the study scenario. Results in terms of total number of microcells to be installed and traffic per microcell for different ratios of traffic demanded vs traffic carried are also analysed. The results can help mobile network operators to drive their strategic investment decisions.

To detect and characterize inhomogeneities in its atmosphere (e.g., patchy clouds, hot spots), we have performed time-series photometric monitoring of WISE 0855-0714 at 3.6 and 4.5 micron with the Spitzer Space Telescope during two 23~hr periods that were separated by several months. For both bands, we have detected variability with peak-to-peak amplitudes of 4-5% and 3-4% in the first and second epochs, respectively. The light curves are semi-periodic in the first epoch for both bands, but are more irregular in the second epoch. Models of patchy clouds have predicted a large increase in mid-IR variability amplitudes (for a given cloud covering fraction) with the appearance of water ice clouds at $T_{\rm eff}

description: We probe a slice of the massive winding sector of bosonic string theory from toroidal compactifications of Double Field Theory (DFT). This string subsector corresponds to states containing one left and one right moving oscillators. We perform a generalized Kaluza Klein compactification of DFT on generic $2n$-dimensional toroidal constant backgrounds and show that, up to third order in fluctuations, the theory coincides with the corresponding effective theory of the bosonic string compactified on $n$-dimensional toroidal constant backgrounds, obtained from three-point amplitudes. The comparison between both theories is facilitated by noticing that generalized diffeomorphisms in DFT allow to fix generalized harmonic gauge conditions that help in identifying the physical degrees of freedom. These conditions manifest as conformal anomaly cancellation requirements on the string theory side. The explicit expression for the gauge invariant effective action containing the physical massless sector (gravity+antisymmetric+gauge+ scalar fields) coupled to towers of generalized Kaluza Klein massive states (corresponding to compact momentum and winding modes) is found. The action acquires a very compact form when written in terms of fields carrying $O(n,n)$ indices, and is explicitly T-duality invariant. The global algebra associated to the generalized Kaluza Klein compactification is discussed.

In this article, we explore the exact gravastar solutions in three-dimension anti-de Sitter space given in the same geometry. As a first step we derive BTZ solution assuming the source of energy density as point-like structures in favor of smeared objects, where the particle mass M, is diffused throughout a region of linear size $\sqrtα$ and is described by a Gaussian function of finite width rather than a Dirac delta function. We matched our interior solution to an exterior BTZ spacetime at a junction interface situated outside the event horizon. Furthermore, stability analysis is carried out for the dynamic case for the specific case when $χ< 0. 214$ under radial perturbations about static equilibrium solutions. To give theoretical support we also trying to explore their physical properties and characteristics.

Design and Optimization of Heterogeneous Networks

description: The motto of Internetting everything, everywhere, all the time is becoming reality thanks to the increasing number and diversity of devices with Internet connectivity such as smartphones, tablets, wearable devices, and connected vehicles. However, existing resource allocation and optimization mechanisms do not address the full range of challenges, specifically heterogeneity due to the diverse and dynamic nature of these devices. The goal of this thesis is to develop new networking mechanisms that make better use of available resources by taking into account the heterogeneity. We first focus on transportation systems of heterogeneously connected vehicles, where not all vehicles are able to communicate due to equipment limitation, privacy and security concerns, and lossy communication channels. We develop (i) a connectivity-aware traffic phase scheduling algorithm that increases the average number of vehicles that are allowed to pass the intersection, and (ii) a shortest routing algorithm with minimum traveling delay between two points in a transportation network. Then we consider a wireless network where an arbitrary number of heterogeneous queues (per-flow and FIFO queues) with arbitrary number of flows share the same wireless medium. We develop a resource allocation scheme; dFC, and a stochastic flow control and scheduling algorithm; qFC, that significantly improve the throughput of the wireless network, as compared to the well-known queue-based flow control and max-weight scheduling. Furthermore, we consider a cellular network with heterogeneous priority traffic (foreground vs background) for Internet of Things. We develop in-network traffic controller for low priority background traffic that quickly yields to foreground traffic when the network is congested, and quickly recaptures spare capacity when it becomes lightly loaded. Lastly, we focus on distributed computing systems with hard deadlines where a computation intensive task is divided into sub-tasks and allocated to heterogeneous helper devices. We explore the benefit of (n,k) MDS coded computation over uncoded computation and develop optimal k that maximizes the probability of meeting the deadline.

description: Zeeman splitting of quantum-confined states of excitons in InGaAs quantum wells (QWs) is experimentally found to depend strongly on quantization energy. Moreover, it changes sign when the quantization energy increases with a decrease in the QW width. In the 87-nm QW, the sign change is observed for the excited quantum-confined states, which are above the ground state only by a few meV. A two-step approach for the numerical solution of the two-particle Schroedinger equation, taking into account the Coulomb interaction and valence-band coupling, is used for a theoretical justification of the observed phenomenon. The calculated variation of the g-factor convincingly follows the dependencies obtained in the experiments.

The Concept Borrowing Process of Class Theory in the Early 20th Century China

Subjects: subject: Class

subject: Chinese Sociology

description: This study examines the process by which class theory was introduced and developed in China, and attempts to answer how class as an academic concept developed into a political term. By examining the development of class theory, the core question discussed in this paper is: Is knowledge political? This paper answers this question from three aspects: the understanding of social structure by Confucians, the Communist Party's transformation of class theory, and the social stratification theory by sociologists based on the Chicago School method. This paper examines the conflict between different ideas, and clearly presents the specific evolutionary path of class theory. This study argues that class theory had political attributes from the very beginning when it was introduced into China, which was determined by the social trend of thought seeking political change at that time. After the transformation of CCP, class theory eventually became a political concept and was separated from academic discussions.

description: We investigate the relaxation dynamics of magnetic vortex lines in type-II superconductors following rapid changes of the external driving current by means of an elastic line model simulated with Langevin molecular dynamics. A system of flux vortices in a sample with randomly distributed point-like defects is subjected to an external current of appropriate strength for a sufficient period of time so as to be in a moving non-equilibrium steady state. The current is then instantaneously lowered to a value that pertains to either the moving or pinned regime. The ensuing relaxation of the flux lines is studied via one-time observables such as their mean velocity and radius of gyration. We have in addition measured the two-time flux line height autocorrelation function to investigate dynamical scaling and aging behavior in the system, which in particular emerge after quenches into the glassy pinned state.

description: We show how two electrically coupled semiconductor lasers having optical feedback can present simultaneous anti-phase correlated fast power fluctuations, and strong in-phase synchronized spikes of chaotic power drops. This quite counter intuitive phenomenon is demonstrated experimentally and confirmed by numerical solutions of a deterministic dynamical system of rate equations. The occurrence of negative and positive cross correlation between parts of a complex system according to time scales, as proved in our simple arrangement, is relevant for the understanding and characterization of collective properties in complex networks.

description: The properties expected of "hot" non-flaring plasmas due to nanoflare heating in active regions are investigated using hydrodynamic modeling tools, including a two-fluid development of the EBTEL code. Here we study a single nanoflare and show that while simple models predict an emission measure distribution extending well above 10 MK that is consistent with cooling by thermal conduction, many other effects are likely to limit the existence and detectability of such plasmas. These include: differential heating between electrons and ions, ionization non-equilibrium and, for short nanoflares, the time taken for the coronal density to increase. The most useful temperature range to look for this plasma, often called the "smoking gun" of nanoflare heating, lies between $10^{6.6}$ and $10^7$ K. Signatures of the actual heating may be detectable in some instances.

title: A Cognitive Information Theory of Music: A Computational Memetics Approach
Creators: name: Chan, Tak-Shing Thomas
Publisher: name: Goldsmiths, University of London
Year: 2008

description: This thesis offers an account of music cognition based on information theory and memetics. My research strategy is to split the memetic modelling into four layers: Data, Information, Psychology and Application. Multiple cognitive models are proposed for the Information and Psychology layers, and the MDL best-fit models with published human data are selected. Then, for the Psychology layer only, new experiments are conducted to validate the best-fit models. In the information chapter, an information-theoretic model of musical memory is proposed, along with two competing models. The proposed model exhibited a better fit with human data than the competing models. Higher-level psychological theories are then built on top of this information layer. In the similarity chapter, I proposed three competing models of musical similarity, and conducted a new experiment to validate the best-fit model. In the fitness chapter, I again proposed three competing models of musical fitness, and conducted a new experiment to validate the best-fit model. In both cases, the correlations with human data are statistically significant. All in all, my research has shown that the memetic strategy is sound, and the modelling results are encouraging. Implications of this research are discussed.

description: The collection of a few anomalies in semileptonic $B$-decays, especially in $b\rightarrow c τ\barν$, invites to speculate about the emergence of some striking new phenomena, perhaps interpretable in terms of a weakly broken $U(2)^n$ flavor symmetry and of leptoquark mediators. Here we aim at a partial UV completion of this interpretation by generalizing the minimal composite Higgs model to include a composite vector leptoquark as well.

description: Objective: The purpose of this study was to assess and compare the seed germination response of six Acacia species under different NaCl concentrations in order to explore opportunities for selection and breeding salt tolerant genotypes. Methodology: Germination of seeds was evaluated under salt stresses using 5 treatment levels: 0, 100, 200, 300 and 400 mM of NaCl. Corrected germination rate (GC), germination rate index (GRI) and mean germination time (MGT) were recorded during 10 days. Results: The results indicated that germination was significantly reduced in all species with the increase in NaCl concentrations. However, significant interspecific variation for salt tolerance was observed. The greatest variability in tolerance was observed at moderate salt stress (200 mM of NaCl) and the decrease in germination appeared to be more accentuated in A. cyanophylla and A. cyclops. Although, A. raddiana, remains the most interesting, it preserved the highest percentage (GC = 80%) and velocity of germination in all species studied in this study, even in the high salt levels. This species exhibited a particular adaptability to salt environment, at least at this stage in the life cycle and could be recommended for plantation establishment in salt affected areas. On the other hand, when ungerminated seeds were transferred from NaCl treatments to distilled water, they recovered largely their germination without a lag period and with high speed. This indicated that the germination inhibition was related to a reversible osmotic stress that induced dormancy rather than specific ion toxicity. Conclusion: This ability to germinate after exposure to higher concentrations of NaCl suggests that studied species, especially the most tolerant could be able to germinate under the salt affected soils and could be utilized for the rehabilitation of damaged arid zones.

description: The family of all subcontinua that separate a compact connected $n$-manifold $X$ (with or without boundary), $n\ge 3$, is an $F_σ$-absorber in the hyperspace $C(X)$ of nonempty subcontinua of $X$. If $D_2(F_σ)$ is the small Borel class of spaces which are differences of two $σ$-compact sets, then the family of all $(n-1)$-dimensional continua that separate $X$ is a $D_2(F_σ)$-absorber in $C(X)$. The families of nondegenerate colocally connected or aposyndetic continua in $I^n$ and of at least two-dimensional or decomposable Kelley continua are $F_{σδ}$-absorbers in the hyperspace $C(I^n)$ for $n\ge 3$. The hyperspaces of all weakly infinite-dimensional continua and of $C$-continua of dimensions at least 2 in a compact connected Hilbert cube manifold $X$ are $Π^1_1$-absorbers in $C(X)$. The family of all hereditarily infinite-dimensional compacta in the Hilbert cube $I^ω$ is $Π^1_1$-complete in $2^{I^ω}$.

description: Protein structure prediction is considered as one of the most challenging and computationally intractable combinatorial problem. Thus, the efficient modeling of convoluted search space, the clever use of energy functions, and more importantly, the use of effective sampling algorithms become crucial to address this problem. For protein structure modeling, an off-lattice model provides limited scopes to exercise and evaluate the algorithmic developments due to its astronomically large set of data-points. In contrast, an on-lattice model widens the scopes and permits studying the relatively larger proteins because of its finite set of data-points. In this work, we took the full advantage of an on-lattice model by using a face-centered-cube lattice that has the highest packing density with the maximum degree of freedom. We proposed a graded energy-strategically mixes the Miyazawa-Jernigan (MJ) energy with the hydrophobic-polar (HP) energy-based genetic algorithm (GA) for conformational search. In our application, we introduced a 2x2 HP energy guided macro-mutation operator within the GA to explore the best possible local changes exhaustively. Conversely, the 20x20 MJ energy model-the ultimate objective function of our GA that needs to be minimized-considers the impacts amongst the 20 different amino acids and allow searching the globally acceptable conformations. On a set of benchmark proteins, our proposed approach outperformed state-of-the-art approaches in terms of the free energy levels and the root-mean-square deviations.

description: The event-by-event Monte Carlo code, TREKIS, was recently developed to describe excitation of the electron subsystems of solids in the nanometric vicinity of a trajectory of a nonrelativistic swift heavy ion (SHI) decelerated in the electronic stopping regime. The complex dielectric function (CDF) formalism was applied in the used cross sections to account for collective response of a matter to excitation. Using this model we investigate effects of the basic assumptions on the modeled kinetics of the electronic subsystem which ultimately determine parameters of an excited material in an SHI track. In particular, (a) effects of different momentum dependencies of the CDF on scattering of projectiles on the electron subsystem are investigated. The 'effective one-band' approximation for target electrons produces good coincidence of the calculated electron mean free paths with those obtained in experiments in metals. (b) Effects of collective response of a lattice appeared to dominate in randomization of electron motion. We study how sensitive these effects are to the target temperature. We also compare results of applications of different model forms of (quasi-) elastic cross sections in simulations of the ion track kinetics, e.g. those calculated taking into account optical phonons in the CDF form vs. Mott's atomic cross sections. (c) It is demonstrated that the kinetics of valence holes significantly affects redistribution of the excess electronic energy in the vicinity of an SHI trajectory as well as its conversion into lattice excitation in dielectrics and semiconductors. (d) It is also shown that induced transport of photons originated from radiative decay of core holes brings the excess energy faster and farther away from the track core, however, the amount of this energy is relatively small.

description: We study the stochastic local operation and classical communication (SLOCC) equivalence for arbitrary dimensional multipartite quantum states. For multipartite pure states, we present a necessary and sufficient criterion in terms of their coefficient matrices. This condition can be used to classify some SLOCC equivalent quantum states with coefficient matrices having the same rank. For multipartite mixed state, we provide a necessary and sufficient condition by means of the realignment of matrix. Some detailed examples are given to identify the SLOCC equivalence of multipartite quantum states.
