The impact of representative inlet conditions on low-emission fuel injector performance

Subjects: Other engineering not elsewhere classified

description: Environmental pollution has been a major point of interest in recent years, and aerospace gas turbine combustion systems must address increasingly more stringent emissions requirements. One potential way of addressing these requirements is the introduction of lean burn combustion technology. However, lean burn fuel injectors are much larger, relative to traditional rich burn injectors. This leads to increased aerodynamic interactions with upstream and downstream components and a highly non-uniform feed to the injector. The impact of this on the combustion process is currently not well understood. Importantly, these effects are not accounted for in typical test facilities used for injector development, as these are generally plenum fed. Hence, the main aim of this work is to study the impact of these aerodynamic interactions on the combustion process in order to obtain the true embedded performance of a lean burn injector and hence improve future low emission fuel injector designs. Using computational fluid dynamics (CFD), validated by particle image velocimetry (PIV), a modified inlet was designed which could be retro fitted into a single sector plenum fed reacting flow facility as typically used in injector development programme.

description: We study the set of infinite volume ground states of Kitaev's quantum double model on $\mathbb{Z}^2$ for an arbitrary finite abelian group $G$. It is known that these models have a unique frustration-free ground state. Here we drop the requirement of frustration freeness, and classify the full set of ground states. We show that the ground state space decomposes into $|G|^2$ different charged sectors, corresponding to the different types of abelian anyons (also known as superselection sectors). In particular, all pure ground states are equivalent to ground states that can be interpreted as describing a single excitation. Our proof proceeds by showing that each ground state can be obtained as the weak$^*$ limit of finite volume ground states of the quantum double model with suitable boundary terms. The boundary terms allow for states which represent a pair of excitations, with one excitation in the bulk and one pinned to the boundary, to be included in the ground state space.

Bridging the divide: connecting North Jersey communities and nature through greenway design
Creators: name: Hayton, John
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2020

description: Urban greenways are important to communities for their ability to provide important recreational space, transportation options, ecological services, social connections, and scenic beauty. However, in many urban environments, the process of planning and implementing greenways is difficult. Bergen County has had plans to increase access and recreation opportunities around the Hackensack River since the 1970s. However, none of the large visions have been achieved. Recently, local organizations have begun work on creating a greenway along the Hackensack River. This thesis is meant to give a vision to the greenway while considering common challenges and strategies for urban greenway design. A suitability analysis was developed in order to identify parcels of land along the Hackensack River ideal for early-stage greenway intervention projects. Additionally, a visual assessment and regional GIS assessment were conducted to inform the route of the greenway. This resulted in a 9.38-mile path system from Overpeck County Park to Van Buskirk Island County Park. Hackensack River County Park was a specific location along the river that was identified as being particularly important to the success of the greenway because of it’s proximity to existing open space along the river, county ownership of the land, important habitat for bald eagles, potential for connecting important places of interest along the river, and the diversity of landscape elements found at the park. A site design was created using the guidelines set forth during the overall greenway design.The process resulted in an overall 9.38-mile greenway route through 8 municipalities in North Jersey along the Hackensack River, a site design for Hackensack River County Park, and recommendations for moving forward with the Greenway Plan. The project should be organized on a regional level by the Bergen County Parks Department but carried out with the help of local municipalities. Partnerships with local businesses should also be pursued. Ultimately, the Hackensack Greenway has the potential to have long-lasting positive impacts on the local communities around the Hackensack River.

description: The early star-forming Universe is still poorly constrained, with the properties of high-redshift stars, the first heating sources, and reionization highly uncertain. This leaves observers planning 21-cm experiments with little theoretical guidance. In this work we explore the possible range of high-redshift parameters including the star formation efficiency and the minimal mass of star-forming halos; the efficiency, spectral energy distribution, and redshift evolution of the first X-ray sources; and the history of reionization. These parameters are only weakly constrained by available observations, mainly the optical depth to the cosmic microwave background. We use realistic semi-numerical simulations to produce the global 21-cm signal over the redshift range $z = 6-40$ for each of 193 different combinations of the astrophysical parameters spanning the allowed range. We show that the expected signal fills a large parameter space, but with a fixed general shape for the global 21-cm curve. Even with our wide selection of models we still find clear correlations between the key features of the global 21-cm signal and underlying astrophysical properties of the high redshift Universe, namely the Ly$α$ intensity, the X-ray heating rate, and the production rate of ionizing photons. These correlations can be used to directly link future measurements of the global 21-cm signal to astrophysical quantities in a mostly model-independent way. We identify additional correlations that can be used as consistency checks.

description: The Court of Justice provided a comprehensive interpretation of the dual criminality requirement under Framework Decision 2002/584/JHA when it handed down its judgment in the KL judgment (case C-168/21 Procureur général près la cour d'appel d'Angers ECLI:EU:C:2022:558). The case at hand raised three intertwined legal issues. Firstly, whether the double criminality criterion is fulfilled where the relevant offences in the issuing and executing Member States aim at protecting different legal interests. Secondly, whether an accused person's refusal to surrender could be grounded on a partial lack of dual criminality. Lastly, whether the execution of a European Arrest Warrant may be denied in the event of a supervening disproportion of the penalty due to the said lack of double criminality. This Insight highlights how this ruling allows the executing authority significant flexibility when carrying out a double criminality check, with a view to minimising the applicability of the grounds for refusal in question. Comparing the KL judgment with the only existing precedent, it will be argued that the Court is increasingly oriented towards an abstract assessment of double criminality. A few final considerations will highlight the persistence of an effectiveness-oriented approach to mutual recognition and its exceptions.
Revealing frustrated local moment model for pressurized hyperhoneycomb iridate: paving a way toward quantum spin liquid

description: There have been tremendous experimental and theoretical efforts toward discovery of quantum spin liquid phase in honeycomb-based-lattice materials with strong spin-orbit coupling. Here the bond-dependent Kitaev interaction between local moments provides strong magnetic frustration and if it is the only interaction present in the system, it will lead to an exactly solvable quantum spin liquid ground state. In all of these materials, however, the ground state is in a magnetically ordered phase due to additional interactions between local moments. Recently, it has been reported that the magnetic order in hyperhoneycomb material, $β$-Li$_2$IrO$_3$, is suppressed upon applying hydrostatic pressure and the resulting state becomes a quantum paramagnet or possibly a quantum spin liquid. Using ab-initio computations and strong coupling expansion, we investigate the lattice structure and resulting local moment model in pressurized $β$-Li$_2$IrO$_3$. Remarkably, the dominant interaction under high pressure is not the Kitaev interaction nor further neighbor interactions, but a different kind of bond-dependent interaction. This leads to strong magnetic frustration and may provide a platform for discovery of a new kind of quantum spin liquid ground state.

description: In natura la grande maggioranza delle piante e alcuni comuni funghi del suolo, detti micorrizici arbuscolari, vivono in simbiosi. Questi funghi sono dei veri e propri “bio-fertilizzanti”, aiutano cioè la pianta di cui sono ospiti ad assorbire nutrienti e minerali dal terreno, e “bio-protettori”, fornendo supporto alla pianta quando questa presenta delle malattie o cresce in condizioni di siccità o in presenza di inquinanti. Alcune recenti ricerche presso i nostri laboratori hanno dimostrato che possiamo sfruttare questa simbiosi anche per migliorare la coltivazione della pianta del caffè con l’obiettivo di migliorare il sapore e le caratteristiche nutritive del frutto così da ottenere una bevanda più buona e più salutare. Funghi diversi danno “super poteri” diversi, e noi dobbiamo cercare di trovare le coppie caffè-fungo più vantaggiose.

description: We present the first results from the Swift Ultraviolet Survey of the Magellanic Clouds (SUMaC), the highest resolution ultraviolet (UV) survey of the Magellanic Clouds yet completed. In this paper, we focus on the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC). When combined with multi-wavelength optical and infrared observations, the three near-UV filters on the Swift Ultraviolet/Optical Telescope are conducive to measuring the shape of the dust extinction curve and the strength of the 2175Å dust bump. We divide the SMC into UV-detected star-forming regions and large 200" (58~pc) pixels and then model the spectral energy distributions using a Markov Chain Monte Carlo method to constrain the ages, masses, and dust curve properties. We find that the majority of the SMC has a 2175Å dust bump, which is larger to the northeast and smaller to the southwest, and that the extinction curve is universally steeper than the Galactic curve. We also derive a star formation history and find evidence for peaks in the star formation rate at 6-10 Myr, 30-80 Myr, and 400 Myr, the latter two of which are consistent with previous work.

description: In this letter, cosmology of a simple NMDC gravity with $ξR ϕ_{,μ}ϕ^{,μ}$ term and a free kinetic term is considered in flat geometry and in presence of dust matter. A logarithm field transformation $ϕ' = μ\ln ϕ$ is proposed phenomenologically. Assuming slow-roll approximation, equation of motion, scalar field solution and potential are derived as function of kinematic variables. The field solution and potential are found straightforwardly for power-law, de-Sitter and super-acceleration expansions. Slow-roll parameters and slow-roll condition are found to depend on more than one variable. At large field the re-scaling effect can enhance the acceleration. For slow-rolling field, the negative coupling $ξ$ could enhance the effect of acceleration.

description: Objects falling into an overdensity appear larger on its near side and smaller on its far side than other objects at the same redshift. This produces a dipolar pattern of magnification, primarily as a consequence of the Doppler effect. At low redshift this Doppler magnification completely dominates the usual integrated gravitational lensing contribution to the lensing magnification. We show that one can optimally observe this pattern by extracting the dipole in the cross-correlation of number counts and galaxy sizes. This dipole allows us to almost completely remove the contribution from gravitational lensing up to redshift 0.5, and even at high redshift z~1 the dipole picks up the Doppler magnification predominantly. Doppler magnification should be easily detectable in current and upcoming optical and radio surveys; by forecasting for telescopes such as the SKA, we show that this technique is competitive with using peculiar velocities via redshift-space distortions to constrain dark energy. It produces similar yet complementary constraints on the cosmological model to those found using measurements of the cosmic shear.

description: While customer-centered innovation has thus far focused on best practices for user-producer collaboration and organizing users to obtain relevant inputs, the internal organization that enables firms to integrate user knowledge into product innovation outputs is less well understood. We analyzed five case studies to derive the innovation routines from firms in traditional industries that employ user knowledge to improve existing products or develop new products. The routines are linked to organizational capabilities relevant for incorporating user knowledge into innovative outcomes.
Gaussian curvature as an identifier of shell rigidity

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Analysis of PDEs (math.AP)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: In the paper we deal with shells with non-zero Gaussian curvature. We derive sharp Korn's first (linear geometric rigidity estimate) and second inequalities on that kind of shells for zero or periodic Dirichlet, Neumann, and Robin type boundary conditions. We prove that if the Gaussian curvature is positive, then the optimal constant in the first Korn inequality scales like $h,$ and if the Gaussian curvature is negative, then the Korn constant scales like $h^{4/3},$ where $h$ is the thickness of the shell. These results have classical flavour in continuum mechanics, in particular shell theory. The Korn first inequalities are the linear version of the famous geometric rigidity estimate by Friesecke, James and Müller for plates [14] (where they show that the Korn constant in the nonlinear Korn's first inequality scales like $h^2$), extended to shells with nonzero curvature. We also recover the uniform Korn-Poincaré inequality proven for "boundary-less" shells by Lewicka and Müller in [37] in the setting of our problem. The new estimates can also be applied to find the scaling law for the critical buckling load of the shell under in-plane loads as well as to derive energy scaling laws in the pre-buckled regime. The exponents $1$ and $4/3$ in the present work appear for the first time in any sharp geometric rigidity estimate.

Unbiased constraints on ultralight axion mass from dwarf spheroidal galaxies

description: It has been suggested that the internal dynamics of dwarf spheroidal galaxies (dSphs) can be used to test whether or not ultralight axions with $m_a\sim 10^{-22}\text{eV}$ are a preferred dark matter candidate. However, comparisons to theoretical predictions tend to be inconclusive for the simple reason that while most cosmological models consider only dark matter, one observes only baryons. Here we use realistic kinematic mock data catalogs of Milky Way dSph's to show that the "mass-anisotropy degeneracy" in the Jeans equations leads to biased bounds on the axion mass in galaxies with unknown dark matter halo profiles. In galaxies with multiple chemodynamical components this bias can be partly removed by modelling the mass enclosed within each subpopulation. However, analysis of the mock data reveals that the least-biased constraints on the axion mass result from fitting the luminosity-averaged velocity dispersion of the individual chemodynamical components directly. Applying our analysis to two dSph's with reported stellar subcomponents, Fornax and Sculptor, and assuming that the halo profile has not been acted on by baryons, yields core radii $r_{c}>1.5$ kpc and $r_c> 1.2$ kpc respectively, and $m_a<0.4\times 10^{-22}\text{eV}$ at 97.5\% confidence. These bounds are in tension with the number of observed satellites derived from simple (but conservative) estimates of the subhalo mass function in Milky Way-like galaxies. We discuss how baryonic feedback might affect our results, and the impact of such a small axion mass on the growth of structures in the Universe.

description: The finite temperature phase diagram is obtained for an infinite honeycomb lattice with spin-$1/2$ Ising interaction $J$ by using thermal-state fidelity and von Neumann entropy based on the infinite projected entangled pair state algorithm with ancillas. % The tensor network representation of the fidelity, which is defined as an overlap measurement between two thermal states, is presented for thermal states on the honeycomb lattice. % We show that the fidelity per lattice site and the von Neumann entropy can capture the phase transition temperatures for applied magnetic field, consistent with the transition temperatures obtained via the transverse magnetizations, which indicates that a continuous phase transition occurs in the system. In the temperature-magnetic field plane, the phase boundary is found to have the functional form $(k_BT_c)^2 + h_c^2/2 = a J^2$ with a single numerical fitting coefficient $a = 2.298$, where $T_c$ and $h_c$ are the critical temperature and field with the Boltzmann constant $k_B$. For the quantum state at zero temperature, this phase boundary function gives the critical field estimate $h_c = \sqrt{2a} J \simeq 2.1438 J$, consistent with the known value $h_c = 2.13250(4)\, J$ calculated from a Cluster Monte Carlo approach. The critical temperature in the absence of magnetic field is estimated as $k_BT_c = \sqrt{a}J \simeq 1.5159\, J$, consistent with the exact result $k_BT_c = 1.51865...\, J$.

description: We have studied the differential cross section as well as the longitudinal and perpendicular components of polarization of final hyperon($Λ$,$Σ$) produced in the antineutrino induced quasielastic charged current reactions on nucleon and nuclear targets. The nucleon-hyperon transition form factors are determined from the experimental data on quasielastic $(ΔS =0)$ charged current (anti)neutrino--nucleon scattering and the semileptonic decay of neutron and hyperons assuming G--invariance, T--invariance and SU(3) symmetry. The vector transition form factors are obtained in terms of nucleon electromagnetic form factors for which various parameterizations available in literature have been used. A dipole parameterization for the axial vector form factor and the pseudoscalar transition form factor derived in terms of axial vector form factor assuming PCAC and GT relation extended to strangeness sector have been used in numerical evaluations. The flux averaged cross section and polarization observables corresponding to CERN Gargamelle experiment have been calculated for quasielastic hyperon production and found to be in reasonable agreement with the experimental observations. The numerical results for the flux averaged differential cross section$\frac{dσ}{dQ^2}$ and longitudinal(perpendicular) polarization $P_L(Q^2)(P_P(Q^2))$ relevant for the antineutrino fluxes of MINER$ν$A, MicroBooNE, and T2K experiments have been presented. This will be useful in interpreting future experimental results on production cross sections and polarization observables from the experiments on the quasielastic production of hyperons induced by antineutrinos and explore the possibility of determining the axial vector and pseudoscalar form factors in the strangeness sector.

description: Characterizing human values is a topic deeply interwoven with the sciences, humanities, art, and many other human endeavors. In recent years, a number of thinkers have argued that accelerating trends in computer science, cognitive science, and related disciplines foreshadow the creation of intelligent machines which meet and ultimately surpass the cognitive abilities of human beings, thereby entangling an understanding of human values with future technological development. Contemporary research accomplishments suggest sophisticated AI systems becoming widespread and responsible for managing many aspects of the modern world, from preemptively planning users' travel schedules and logistics, to fully autonomous vehicles, to domestic robots assisting in daily living. The extrapolation of these trends has been most forcefully described in the context of a hypothetical "intelligence explosion," in which the capabilities of an intelligent software agent would rapidly increase due to the presence of feedback loops unavailable to biological organisms. The possibility of superintelligent agents, or simply the widespread deployment of sophisticated, autonomous AI systems, highlights an important theoretical problem: the need to separate the cognitive and rational capacities of an agent from the fundamental goal structure, or value system, which constrains and guides the agent's actions. The "value alignment problem" is to specify a goal structure for autonomous agents compatible with human values. In this brief article, we suggest that recent ideas from affective neuroscience and related disciplines aimed at characterizing neurological and behavioral universals in the mammalian class provide important conceptual foundations relevant to describing human values. We argue that the notion of "mammalian value systems" points to a potential avenue for fundamental research in AI safety and AI ethics.

description: Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) methods that quantitatively probe motions on molecular and atomic levels have propelled the understanding of biomolecular processes for which static structures cannot provide a satisfactory description. In this work, we studied the structure and dynamics of the essential 100-kDa eukaryotic 5' -> 3' exoribonuclease Xrn2. A combination of complementary fluorine and methyl-TROSY NMR spectroscopy reveals that the apo enzyme is highly dynamic around the catalytic center. These observed dynamics are in agreement with a transition of the enzyme from the ground state into a catalytically competent state. We show that the conformational equilibrium in Xrn2 shifts substantially toward the active state in the presence of substrate and magnesium. Finally, our data reveal that the dynamics in Xrn2 correlate with the RNA degradation rate, as a mutation that attenuates motions also affects catalytic activity. In that light, our results stress the importance of studies that go beyond static structural information.

A Multi-Dimensional Central Limit Bound and its Application to the Euler Approximation of Lévy SDEs

description: Rio gave a concise bound for the central limit theorem in the Vaserstein distances, which is a ratio between some higher moments and some powers of the variance. As a corollary, it gives an estimate for the normal approximation of the small jumps of the Lévy processes, and Fournier applied that to the Euler approximation of Lévy-driven stochastic differential equations. However both results are restricted to the one-dimensional case. It will be shown in this article that, following Davie's idea, one can generalise Rio's result to multidimensional case, and the number of moments required is independent of the dimension. Also two different approaches are developed to simulate multidimensional Lévy SDEs: one as a corollary to the central limit bound, the other directly derived from the Lévy-Khinchine formula.

description: We prove that non-extremal black holes in four-dimensional general relativity exhibit an infinite-dimensional symmetry in their near horizon region. By prescribing a physically sensible set of boundary conditions at the horizon, we derive the algebra of asymptotic Killing vectors, which is shown to be infinite-dimensional and includes, in particular, two sets of supertranslations and two mutually commuting copies of the Virasoro algebra. We define the surface charges associated to the asymptotic diffeomorphisms that preserve the boundary conditions and discuss the subtleties of this definition, such as the integrability conditions and the correct definition of the Dirac brackets. When evaluated on the stationary solutions, the only non-vanishing charges are the zero-modes. One of them reproduces the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy of Kerr black holes. We also study the extremal limit, recovering the NHEK geometry. In this singular case, where the algebra of charges and the integrability conditions get modified, we find that the computation of the zero-modes correctly reproduces the black hole entropy. Furthermore, we analyze the case of three spacetime dimensions, in which the integrability conditions notably simplify and the field equations can be solved analytically to produce a family of exact solutions that realize the boundary conditions explicitly. We examine other features, such as the form of the algebra in the extremal limit and the relation to other works in the literature.

description: The way how research is communicated using text publications has not changed much over the past decades. We have the vision that ultimately researchers will work on a common structured knowledge base comprising comprehensive semantic and machine-comprehensible descriptions of their research, thus making research contributions more transparent and comparable. We present the SemSur ontology for semantically capturing the information commonly found in survey and review articles. SemSur is able to represent scientific results and to publish them in a comprehensive knowledge graph, which provides an efficient overview of a research field, and to compare research findings with related works in a structured way, thus saving researchers a significant amount of time and effort. The new release of SemSur covers more domains, defines better alignment with external ontologies and rules for eliciting implicit knowledge. We discuss possible applications and present an evaluation of our approach with the retrospective, exemplary semantification of a survey. We demonstrate the utility of the SemSur ontology to answer queries about the different research contributions covered by the survey. SemSur is currently used and maintained at OpenResearch.org.

description: We present time-resolved spectral analysis of the steep decay segments of 29 bright X-ray flares of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) observed with the Swift/X-ray telescope, and model their lightcurves and spectral index evolution behaviors with the curvature effect model. Our results show that the observed rapid flux decay and strong spectral index evolution with time can be well fit with this model, and the derived characteristic timescales ($t_c$) are in the range of $33\sim 264$ seconds. Using an empirical relation between the peak luminosity and the Lorentz factor derived from the prompt gamma-rays, we estimate the Lorentz factors of the flares ($Γ_{\rm X}$). We obtain $Γ_{\rm X}=17\sim 87$ with a median value of $52$, which is smaller than the initial Lorentz factors of prompt gamma-ray fireballs. With the derived $t_c$ and $Γ_{\rm X}$, we constrain the radiating regions of 13 X-ray flares, yielding $R_{\rm X}=(0.2\sim 1.1)\times 10^{16}$ cm, which are smaller than the radii of the afterglow fireballs at the peak times of the flares. A long evolution feature from prompt gamma-ray phase to the X-ray epoch is found by incorporating our results with a sample of GRBs whose initial Lorentz factors are available in literatures, i.e., $Γ\propto [t_{p}/(1+z)]^{-0.69\pm 0.06}$. These results may shed lights on the long term evolution of GRB central engines.
