description: A new method for solving inverse spectral problems on quantum star graphs is proposed. The method is based on Neumann series of Bessel functions representations for solutions of Sturm-Liouville equations. The representations admit estimates for the series remainders which are independent of the real part of the square root of the spectral parameter. This feature makes them especially useful for solving direct and inverse spectral problems requiring calculation of solutions on large intervals in the spectral parameter. Moreover, the first coefficient of the representation is sufficient for the recovery of the potential. The method for solving the inverse spectral problem on the graph consists in reducing the problem to a two-spectra inverse Sturm-Liouville problem on each edge. Then a system of linear algebraic equations is derived for computing the first coefficient of the series representation for the solution on each edge and hence for recovering the potential. The proposed method leads to an efficient numerical algorithm that is illustrated by a number of numerical tests.

description: Summary: Our country displays a prominent place, at a world´s scale, between Soy and Soy-bean oil producers. Today most of the produce is exported as beans, soy flour or oil. Notwithstanding, a significant part is transformed to biofuel, to cut the mineral diesel.

This operation relays on government regulations. As a result, an important synthetic capacity of biodiesel has been built. Still, the operation is not totally sound from the economical point of view. Beyond this, the world tendency is to shift to green energy sources, replacing combustion engines with renewable and cleaner alternatives.

It is foreseeable that within a few years Argentina will have a surplus of the soybean oil which today is transformed to biodiesel. Moreover, biodiesel production is easily done with a known and trivial technology, thus it is a relatively cheap product with a very narrow margin. Instead, by means of fine chemistry, soybean and other vegetable oils, can be transformed to surfactant and other molecules with a much higher market value. In this paper, we propose some alternative pathways to this purpose.

description: The competition between interactions and dissipative processes in a quantum many-body system can drive phase transitions of different order. Exploiting a combination of cluster methods and quantum trajectories, we show how the systematic inclusion of (classical and quantum) nonlocal correlations at increasing distances is crucial to determine the structure of the phase diagram, as well as the nature of the transitions in strongly interacting spin systems. In practice, we focus on the paradigmatic dissipative quantum Ising model: in contrast to the non-dissipative case, its phase diagram is still a matter of debate in the literature. When dissipation acts along the interaction direction, we predict important quantitative modifications of the position of the first-order transition boundary. In the case of incoherent relaxation in the field direction, our approach confirms the presence of a second-order transition, while does not support the possible existence of multicritical points. Potentially, these results can be tested in up-to date quantum simulators of Rydberg atoms.

description: Given a finite set of eigenvalues of a regular Sturm-Liouville problem for the equation -y{\prime}{\prime}+q(x)y=λy, the potential q(x) of which is unknown. We show the possibility to compute more eigenvalues without any additional information on the potential q(x). Moreover, considering the Sturm-Liouville problem with the boundary conditions y{\prime}(0)-hy(0)=0 and y{\prime}(π)+Hy(π)=0, where h, H are some constants, we complete its spectrum without additional information neither on the potential q(x) nor on the constants h and H. The eigenvalues are computed with a uniform absolute accuracy. Based on this result we propose a new method for numerical solution of the inverse Sturm-Liouville problem of recovering the potential from two spectra. The method includes the completion of the spectra in the first step and reduction to a system of linear algebraic equations in the second. The potential q(x) is recovered from the first component of the solution vector. The approach is based on special Neumann series of Bessel functions representations for solutions of Sturm-Liouville equations possessing remarkable properties and leads to an efficient numerical algorithm for solving inverse Sturm-Liouville problems.

description: We investigate effects of short range interactions on the addition spectra of quantum dots using a disordered Hubbard model. A correlation function \cS(q) is defined on the inverse compressibility versus filling data, and computed numerically for small lattices. Two regimes of interaction strength are identified: the even/odd fluctuations regime typical of Fermi liquid ground states, and a regime of structureless $\cS(q)$ at strong interactions. We propose to understand the latter regime in terms of magnetically correlated localized spins.

description: Ensemble Kalman methods constitute an increasingly important tool in both state and parameter estimation problems. Their popularity stems from the derivative-free nature of the methodology which may be readily applied when computer code is available for the underlying state-space dynamics (for state estimation) or for the parameter-to-observable map (for parameter estimation). There are many applications in which it is desirable to enforce prior information in the form of equality or inequality constraints on the state or parameter. This paper establishes a general framework for doing so, describing a widely applicable methodology, a theory which justifies the methodology, and a set of numerical experiments exemplifying it.

description: A detailed structural model for the indium-induced Si(111)-(4x1) surface reconstruction has been determined by analyzing an extensive set of x-ray-diffraction data recorded with monochromatic ($\hbarω$ = 9.1 keV) synchrotron radiation. The reconstruction is quasi-one-dimensional. The main features in the structure are chains of silicon atoms alternating with zigzag chains of indium atoms on top of an essentially unperturbed silicon lattice. The indium coverage corresponds to one monolayer. The structural model consistently explains all previously published experimental data.

Schrödinger--Newton equation with spontaneous wave function collapse

Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Based on the assumption that the standard Schrödinger equation becomes gravitationally modified for massive macroscopic objects, two independent proposals has survived from the nineteen-eighties. The Schrödinger--Newton equation (1984) provides well-localized solitons for free macro-objects but lacks the mechanism how extended wave functions collapse on solitons. The gravity-related stochastic Schrödinger equation (1989) provides the spontaneous collapse but the resulting solitons undergo a tiny diffusion leading to an inconvenient steady increase of the kinetic energy. We propose the stochastic Schrödinger--Newton equation which contains the above two gravity-related modifications together. Then the wave functions of free macroscopic bodies will gradually and stochastically collapse to solitons which perform inertial motion without the momentum diffusion: conservation of momentum and energy is restored.

description: We introduce a new aproximation scheme for the periodic Anderson model (PAM). The modified alloy approximation represents an optimum alloy approximation for the strong coupling limit, which can be solved within the CPA-formalism. Zero-temperature and finite-temperature phase diagrams are presented for the PAM in the intermediate-valence regime. The diversity of magnetic properties accessible by variation of the system parameters can be studied by means of quasiparticle densities of states: The conduction band couples either ferro- or antiferromagneticaly to the f-levels. A finite hybridization is a necessary precondition for ferromagnetism. However, too strong hybridization generally suppresses ferromagnetism, but can for certain system parameters also lead to a semi-metallic state with unusual magnetic properties. By comparing with the spectral density approximation, the influence of quasiparticle damping can be examined.

description: The Washington Wizards are one of several franchises to have won a championship in the National Basketball Association (NBA). Although the franchise achieved this during a decade of consecutive postseason appearances, it has been recognized more for its tendencies to falter and underperform. The Wizards have compiled season after season of losing records with the occasional glimmer of hope that the upcoming season will be markedly different from seasons past. The purpose of this research is to offer an explanation as to why the franchise has been among the worst performing in the NBA when there are systematic opportunities each year to improve either through the NBA Draft, free agency, or development of players in the off-season. The focus of this research will be on the Wizards, formerly the Bullets, performance in the 1970s and 2000s. By analyzing discourse of sportswriters hailing from the Baltimore Sun and Washington Post, themes were generated from their discourse which highlight the franchise’s prolonged struggles. Research from these selected decades represents key periods at which the team moved from a perennial playoff contender to the lower rungs of the NBA. The examined discourse from these decades serves as a basis for understanding how pronounced the franchise’s struggles have been through the years and presents points suggesting why they are continually stuck in the rebuilding stage.

description: The problem of recovery of a potential on a quantum star graph from Weyl's matrix given at a finite number of points is considered. A method for its approximate solution is proposed. It consists in reducing the problem to a two-spectra inverse Sturm-Liouville problem on each edge with its posterior solution. The overall approach is based on Neumann series of Bessel functions (NSBF) representations for solutions of Sturm-Liouville equations, and, in fact, the solution of the inverse problem on the quantum graph reduces to dealing with the NSBF coefficients. The NSBF representations admit estimates for the series remainders which are independent of the real part of the square root of the spectral parameter. This feature makes them especially useful for solving direct and inverse problems requiring calculation of solutions on large intervals in the spectral parameter. Moreover, the first coefficient of the NSBF representation alone is sufficient for the recovery of the potential. The knowledge of the Weyl matrix at a set of points allows one to calculate a number of the NSBF coefficients at the end point of each edge, which leads to approximation of characteristic functions of two Sturm-Liouville problems and allows one to compute the Dirichlet-Dirichlet and Neumann-Dirichlet spectra on each edge. In turn, for solving this two-spectra inverse Sturm-Liouville problem a system of linear algebraic equations is derived for computing the first NSBF coefficient and hence for recovering the potential. The proposed method leads to an efficient numerical algorithm that is illustrated by a number of numerical tests.

The amplitudes are expressed in terms of a basis of singular functions. The local terms appearing in the renormalization of these functions are determined by requiring consistency with the propagator equation. Previous results in abelian theories, with and without supersymmetry, are discussed in this context.

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Antihydrogen atoms are routinely formed at CERN in a broad range of Rydberg states. Ground-state anti-atoms, those useful for precision measurements, are eventually produced through spontaneous decay. However given the long lifetime of Rydberg states the number of ground-state antihydrogen atoms usable is small, in particular for experiments relying on the production of a beam of antihydrogen atoms. Therefore, it is of high interest to efficiently stimulate the decay in order to retain a higher fraction of ground-state atoms for measurements. We propose a method that optimally mixes the high angular momentum states with low ones enabling to stimulate, using a broadband frequency laser, the deexcitation toward low-lying states, which then spontaneously decay to ground-state. We evaluated the method in realistic antihydrogen experimental conditions. For instance, starting with an initial distribution of atoms within the $n=20-30$ manifolds, as formed through charge exchange mechanism, we show that more than 80\% of antihydrogen atoms will be deexcited to the ground-state within 100 ns using a laser producing 2 J at 828 nm.

description: This paper is focused on designing a Micro Aerial Vehicle (MAV) of biological inspiration at Technical University of Madrid (UPM). The main goal is to analyze a configuration of winglets based on several grids which emulate the wingtip feathers of birds (regimes); it could also be called winggrid device. In aerospace design, new wingtips tried to modify the lift distribution over the wings; beside this, it is possible to reduce induced drag. The research begins with a wide and extensive analysis in order to decide the optimal configuration of multiple winglets. The computational study has consisted of an optimization using Tornado software in which the number of grids, the chord and the gap between them has been varied. Finally, a model with three grids at the tip of the wing has been the selected solution. Based on this optimal configuration, a complete wind tunnel study using Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) at National Institute of Aerospace Technology (INTA) facilities has been performed to analyze the feasibility of this wing-grid device.

description: Systemic racism and structural violence are significant public health concerns receiving attention from social and biological scientists. Discrimination based on social race, gender, and socioeconomic status, shapes intergenerational experiences of health. Early life conditions are significant predictors of future health and disease. Exposure to resource deficient environments differentially affects the prevalence of co-morbidities. Human skeletal remains offer compelling data to investigate the extent of social and ecological variables on mortality ratios. This thesis investigates examples of structural violence and institutional racism within osteological collections. Additionally, considerations of how body politics, informed by changes in laws and interpretations of social inclusion, can inform researcher interpretation of human remains and individuals who become commodified within anatomical populations.

Using an airfoil model with pressure taps, NACA 0015 was analysed in two cases: bending motion and flutter, both with a reduced frequency of 0.086. The hysteresis loops of both cases are presented. An outstanding different of and was observed depending on whether the effective angle of attack was increased or decreased. The need to create a catalogue of airfoils in unsteady regime is revealed.

Temporally disordered granular flow: A model of landslides

description: We propose and study numerically a stochastic cellular automaton model for the dynamics of granular materials with temporal disorder representing random variation of the diffusion probability $1-μ(t)$ around threshold value $1-μ_0$ during the course of an avalanche. Combined with the slope threshold dynamics, the temporal disorder yields a series of secondary instabilities, resembling those in realistic granular slides. When the parameter $μ_0$ is lower than the critical value $μ_{0}^\star \approx 0.4$, the dynamics is dominated by occasional huge sandslides. For the range of values $μ_{0}^\star \le μ_0 < 1$ the critical steady states occur, which are characterized by multifractal scaling properties of the slide distributions and continuously varying critical exponents $τ_X(μ_0)$. The mass distribution exponent for $μ_0\approx 0.45$ is in agreement with the reported value that characterizes Himalayan sandslides. At $μ_{0}= μ_{0}^\star$ the exponents governing distributions of large relaxation events reach numerical values which are close to those of parity-conserving universality class, whereas for small avalanches they are close to the mean-field exponents.

description: The worldwide use of antibiotics results in the development of bacterial resistance, which poses a threat to the healthcare. With the dearth in the discovery and development of new antibiotics and rapid emergence of multidrug resistant (MDR) Gram-negative bacteria, the optimisation of clinically available antibiotics is highly warranted. For this critical situation, polymyxins, an “old-antibiotic” have been re-birthed as the last therapeutic option for the treatment of the serious bacterial infections. The administration of polymyxins as a single therapy is unlikely to achieve optimal and safe plasma concentration particularly with highly resistant pathogens. To overcome these limitations with polymyxins therapy, a combination with other antibiotics is an option. Better understanding the mode of actions of polymyxin combination therapy is crucially important to achieve maximum benefit.

description: We compute the gravitational birefringence of light as it undergoes gravitational lensing. To this end we re-derive the Souriau-Saturnini equations in the Schwarzschild metric and solve them numerically and perturbatively. Our main result is an offset between the trajectories of the photons of opposite polarisations, which grows with time. We also find an intriguing instability of the spin component transverse to the momentum.

title: A Systematic Review of Ethnic-Racial Identity and Acculturation as Buffers against Discrimination among Muslim Immigrants from the Middle East and North Africa in the United States

description: In much of the literature on identity development, there is a strong emphasis on the process of exploration and commitment, ultimately leading to attaining a stage of identity achievement. Little is known about these processes among MENA (Middle Eastern and North African) emerging adults (ages 18-25) and, specifically, how stigma and negative public regard influence their desire to engage in ethnic-racial identity (ERI) exploration processes. Although immigrants from MENA countries might encounter stigma and discrimination associated with their culture and religion, research has shown that each of ERI exploration and resolution has promotive and protective effects on psychological adjustment of diverse youth (e.g., Umaña-Taylor, 2016; Yip, 2018; Yip et al., 2019). This study seeks to (1) examine the promotive and protective roles of ERI and acculturation against the adverse effects of discrimination on psychological adjustment and (2) consider group differences as a function of region, age, gender, and generational status. These research questions were examined using the systematic review and reporting guidelines providing by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta- Analyses (PRISMA; Moher, Liberati, Tetzlaff, Altman, & The PRISMA Group, 2009). Results revealed significant effect for both promotive and protective role of ERI and the protective role of acculturation. Additionally, this study found a scarcity of information regarding group differences as a function of geographic region, age, gender, and generational status. In sum, this review highlights the continued need for studies focusing on Muslim-MENA youth to better understand the normative development of ERI, acculturation processes, and their role in psychological adaptation. Once these processes are further investigated, future studies can begin to examine how to promote positive development in the Muslim-MENA community.

description: Using the Cottingham formula, we give an estimate of the electromagnetic mass splitting of pseudoscalar heavy mesons in the beauty and charm sector. We include in the dispersion relation the Born term, the $1^-$ resonance and the positive parity $1^+$ resonance. We also evaluate the contribution to the mass difference from the isospin breaking quark mass differences. Our results: $m_{B^+}-m_{B^0} = - 0.83\pm 0.34 MeV$ and $m_{D^+}-m_{D^0} = + 4.33\pm 0.37 MeV$, are in agreement with the experimental measurements: $m_{B^+}-m_{B^0} = - 0.35\pm 0.29 MeV$ and $m_{D^+}-m_{D^0} = + 4.78\pm 0.10 MeV$. We also compute the mass differences in the infinite heavy quark mass limit, which show small deviations from the finite mass results for the B case and 30% effects in the charm case.

description: Cyber attacks are becoming more prevalent and increasingly threaten to have devastating consequences. Many of these attacks use multiple distributed devices controlled by a single person or group from a remote location, and are commonly referred to as botnet attacks. There are multiple reasons why botnet detection is challenging. First, botnets use covert communication measures and actively attempt to mask their communication. Second, the command and control (C&C) of these devices may not come from a single source but instead from peer to peer (P2P) bot communication. Third, network traffic is inherently very noisy and has high dimensionality both in the data's continuous nature and the number of variables. Finally, massive botnet data collections are generally incomplete, and real-world data is challenging to find. These factors complicate performing botnet data analytics through well-known approaches, such as time series analysis techniques. Recent results in topological data analysis (TDA) have shown great promise in analyzing noisy, large scale, and incomplete time series data sets. This thesis explores using TDA persistence landscapes (PL-TDA) to transform a multi-attribute time series into a single attribute time series, which can then be analyzed using existing time series/data mining techniques. We first perform a robustness analysis on existing PL-TDA computational methods in the presence of noise. We then propose an algorithm using plane-sweeping methods that decrease the PL-TDA runtime. This algorithm utilizes another result that demonstrates a linear-time approach to finding the top landscapes that appear when PLTDA is computed. Following that we show how to implement a processing pipeline for PL-TDA on botnet data. Finally we show that our new algorithms maintain accuracy while decreasing runtime. This work assists future network and systems researchers by giving them a new technique to effectively process network traffic analysis capturing the inherent topological properties.

description: This thesis describes both the political and social relations of Judaism, Christianity, the polytheists, and Islam during the time of Muhammad. Specifically, it focuses on how the historical Muhammad interacted with these other religions during both the Meccan and Medinan period of his lifetime. Researching this specific time period allows the author to examine if a foreign policy model can be illustrated by the actions of the historical Muhammad. In the process of researching and writing this thesis, the author conducted a literature review of the earliest possible sources regarding the historical Muhammad and his community at Medina. This thesis is slated to be a reference and a resource for both students and faculty who seek a better understanding of Muhammad's political and social relations with the other religions that he came into contact with during his prophetic career.
CARBONIFEROUS PLANT FOSSILS FROM THE SAN LORENZO SCHISTS (PISANI MOUNTAINS, TUSCANY, ITALY): A PRELIMINARY STUDY OF THE PALAEOBOTANICAL COLLECTION OF THE MUSEO NATURALISTICO ARCHEOLOGICO DELL’APPENNINO PISTOIESE

description: The Museo Naturalistico Archeologico dell’Appennino Pistoiese (MUNAP) hosts one of the most abundant and diverse collections of Late Palaeozoic plant fossils from the San Lorenzo Schists of the Pisani Mountains. More than 1200 rock slabs yielding plant fossils were collected from six different outcrops in Guappero Valley in the San Lorenzo a Vaccoli area (NE of the Pisani Mountains, near Lucca), the type-locality of the formation. The present study concerns two outcrops at Via Pari that are characterized by a wide range of plant fossils (20 taxa) belonging to the lycopsids (Stigmaria), sphenopsids (Calamites, Asterophyllites, Calamostachys, Sphenophyllum, Bowmanites), ferns (Acitheca, Diplazites, Cyathocarpus), seed ferns (Alethopteris, ?Autunia, gen. indet.), cordaites (Cordaites) and seeds (Carpolithes). This first description of the plant fossil collection and the revision of its stratigraphical context with respect to the surrounding famous fossiliferous sections of the Guappero Valley refine the stratigraphic and palaeoenvironmental framework of the Late Palaeozoic successions of the Pisani Mts. and more generally of the Apennine chain. The qualitative and quantitative analyses show significant environmental variations between neighbouring outcrops in the Via Pari area – i.e., more humid conditions in ‘Via Pari Buca’ than in ‘Via Pari Smottamento’ – and suggest a latest Carboniferous (Gzhelian) instead of an early Permian age as proposed by previous authors. Moreover, the differences in composition between the plant assemblages of the Via Pari sections with the historical assemblage of the nearby Monte Vignale outcrop (containing typical Permian and more xerophytic elements) in the De Stefani Collection of the Florence Natural History Museum is explained by a younger age (early Permian) of the latter.
