description: Ion transport, often described by the Poisson--Nernst--Planck (PNP) equations, is ubiquitous in electrochemical devices and many biological processes of significance. In this work, we develop conservative, positivity-preserving, energy dissipating, and implicit finite difference schemes for solving the multi-dimensional PNP equations with multiple ionic species. A central-differencing discretization based on harmonic-mean approximations is employed for the Nernst--Planck (NP) equations. The backward Euler discretization in time is employed to derive a fully implicit nonlinear system, which is efficiently solved by a newly proposed Newton's method. The improved computational efficiency of the Newton's method originates from the usage of the electrostatic potential as the iteration variable, rather than the unknowns of the nonlinear system that involves both the potential and concentration of multiple ionic species. Numerical analysis proves that the numerical schemes respect three desired analytical properties (conservation, positivity preserving, and energy dissipation) fully discretely. Based on advantages brought by the harmonic-mean approximations, we are able to establish estimate on the upper bound of condition numbers of coefficient matrices in linear systems that are solved iteratively. The solvability and stability of the linearized problem in the Newton's method are rigorously established as well. Numerical tests are performed to confirm the anticipated numerical accuracy, computational efficiency, and structure-preserving properties of the developed schemes. Adaptive time stepping is implemented for further efficiency improvement. Finally, the proposed numerical approaches are applied to characterize ion transport subject to a sinusoidal applied potential.

description: We describe a mechanism of the primordial black holes formation that can explain the existence of a population of supermassive black holes in galactic bulges. The mechanism is based on the formation of black holes from closed domain walls. The origin of such domain walls could be a result of the evolution of an effectively massless scalar field during inflation. The initial non-equilibrium distribution of the scalar field imposed by background de-Sitter fluctuations gives rise to the spectrum of black holes, which covers a wide range of masses -- from superheavy ones down to deeply subsolar. The primordial black holes of smaller masses are concentrated around the most massive ones within a fractal-like cluster.

description: A microscopic theory for the interaction of carriers with LO phonons is used to study the ultrafast carrier dynamics in nitride-based semiconductor quantum dots. It is shown that the efficiency of scattering processes is directly linked to quasi-particle renormalizations. The electronic states of the interacting system are strongly modified by the combined influence of quantum confinement and polar coupling. Inherent electrostatic fields, typical for InGaN/GaN quantum dots, do not limit the fast scattering channels.

description: Young star clusters are likely the most common birthplace of massive stars across cosmic time and influence the formation of compact binaries in several ways. Here, we simulate the formation of black hole -- neutron star binaries (BHNSs) in young star clusters, by means of the binary population synthesis code \texttt{MOBSE} interfaced with the $N$-body code \texttt{NBODY6++GPU}. BHNSs formed in young star clusters (dynamical BHNSs) are significantly more massive than BHNSs formed from isolated binaries (isolated BHNSs): $\sim{}40$~\% of the dynamical BHNS mergers have total mass $>15$ M$_\odot$, while only $\sim{}0.01$~\% of the isolated BHNS mergers have mass in excess of this value. Hence, our models strongly support a dynamical formation scenario for GW190814, given its total mass $\sim{}26$ M$_\odot$, if this event is a BHNS merger. All our dynamical BHNSs are ejected from their parent star cluster before they reach coalescence. Thus, a significant fraction of BHNS mergers occurring in the field might have originated in a young star cluster. The mass spectrum of BHNS mergers from gravitational-wave detections will provide a clue to differentiate between dynamical and isolated formation of BHNSs.

description: Calculation of moments of generalized parton distributions in lattice QCD requires more powerful techniques than those previously used to calculate moments of structure functions. Hence, we present a novel approach that exploits the full information content from a given lattice configuration by measuring an overdetermined set of lattice observables to provide maximal statistical constraints on the generalized form factors at a given virtuality, t. In an exploratory investigation using unquenched QCD configurations at intermediate sea quark masses, we demonstrate that our new technique is superior to conventional methods and leads to reliable numerical signals for the n=2 flavor singlet generalized form factors up to 3 GeV^2. The contribution from connected diagrams in the flavor singlet sector to the total quark angular momentum is measured to an accuracy of the order of one percent.

The $Λ_b\toΛ^\ast(1520)(\to N\!\bar{K})\ell^+\ell^-$ decay at low-recoil in HQET

description: In this paper we discuss the Standard Model and new physics sensitivity of the $Λ_b\toΛ^\ast(1520)(\to N\!\bar{K})\ell^+\ell^-$ decay at low-recoil, where $\ell^\pm$ are massive leptons and $N\!\bar{K}=\{pK^-, n\bar{K}^0 \}$. We provide a full angular distribution with a set of operators that includes the Standard Model operators and their chirality flipped counterparts, and new scalar and pseudo-scalar operators. The resulting angular distribution allows us to construct observables that we study in the Standard Model and in model-independent new physics scenarios. To reduce the hadronic effects emanating from the $Λ_b\toΛ^\ast(1520)$ transition form factors, we exploit the Heavy Quark Effective theory framework valid at low $Λ^\ast(1520)$ recoil, \emph{i.e.,} large dilepton invariant mass squared $q^2\sim \mathcal{O}(m_b^2)$. Working to the leading order in $1/m_b$ and including $\mathcal{O}(α_s)$ corrections, we compute the `improved Isgur-Wise relations' between the form factors. The relations correlate the form factors and thereby allow the description of this decay at the low-recoil region with a smaller number of independent form factors.

Identified Particle Dependence of Nuclear Modification Factors in d+Au Collisions at RHIC
Creators: name: Barnby, L. S.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Nuclear Experiment (nucl-ex)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We present transverse momentum spectra from d+Au collisions at sqrt(s_NN) = 200 GeV for identified hadrons at mid-rapidity and unidentified hadrons in the forward rapidity region using the Solenoidal Tracker at RHIC. We scale these spectra by the mean number of binary collisions to form a transverse momentum dependent ratio to spectra from p+p collisions, showing that the Cronin effect measured at lower centre-of-mass energies is also present at this higher energy. The data also suggest a dependence of the Cronin effect on the hadron species. We also compare central d+Au collisions to more peripheral ones, contrasting the behaviour to that observed in Au+Au collisions and remark on unidentified hadrons at forward rapidities which show a qualitatively different behaviour.

description: (Abridged) We present an unbiassed near-IR selected AGN sample, covering 12.56 square degrees down to K ~ 15.5, selected from the Two Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS). Our only selection effect is a moderate color cut (J-K>1.2) designed to reduce contamination from galactic stars. We observed both point-like and extended sources. Using the brute-force capabilities of the 2dF multi-fiber spectrograph on the Anglo-Australian Telescope, we obtained spectra of 65% of the target list: an unbiassed sub-sample of 1526 sources. 80% of the 2MASS sources in our fields are galaxies, with a median redshift of 0.15. The remainder are K- and M-dwarf stars. Seyfert-2 Galaxies are roughly three times more common in this sample than in optically selected galaxy samples (once corrections have been made for the equivalent width limit and for different aperture sizes). We find 14 broad-line (Type-1) AGNs, giving a surface density down to K<15 comparable to that of optical samples down to B=18.5. Half of our Type-1 AGNs could not have been found by normal color selection techniques. In all cases this was due host galaxy light contamination rather than intrinsically red colors. We conclude that the Type-1 AGN population found in the near-IR is not dramatically different from that found in optical samples. There is no evidence for a large population of AGNs that could not be found at optical wavelengths, though we can only place very weak constraints on any population of dusty high-redshift QSOs.

description: Due to the broad range of applications of stochastic multi-armed bandit model, understanding the effects of adversarial attacks and designing bandit algorithms robust to attacks are essential for the safe applications of this model. In this paper, we introduce a new class of attack named action-manipulation attack. In this attack, an adversary can change the action signal selected by the user. We show that without knowledge of mean rewards of arms, our proposed attack can manipulate Upper Confidence Bound (UCB) algorithm, a widely used bandit algorithm, into pulling a target arm very frequently by spending only logarithmic cost. To defend against this class of attacks, we introduce a novel algorithm that is robust to action-manipulation attacks when an upper bound for the total attack cost is given. We prove that our algorithm has a pseudo-regret upper bounded by $\mathcal{O}(\max\{\log T,A\})$, where $T$ is the total number of rounds and $A$ is the upper bound of the total attack cost.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the association between meal timing and type 2 diabetes risk in U.S. Hispanic/Latino adults. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: The Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos (HCHS/SOL) is a multicenter, community-based, prospective cohort study. This study included 8,868 HCHS/SOL adults without diabetes at baseline (2008-2011) and attending the visit 2 examination (2014-2017). Energy intake and glycemic load (GL) in each meal timing were assessed at baseline using two 24-h dietary recalls. Incident diabetes was identified through annual follow-up calls or at visit 2. Hazard ratios (HRs) for incident diabetes were estimated using Cox models, accounting for the complex survey design. RESULTS: The study population (50.9% female) had a baseline mean age of 39.0 (95% CI, 38.4-39.5) years. Over a median (range) follow-up of 5.8 (0.8-9.6) years, 1,262 incident diabetes cases were documented. Greater energy intake and GL in late morning (9:00-11:59 a.m.) were associated with a lower diabetes risk, whereas greater energy intake and GL in other meal timings were not. After accounting for diet quantity and quality, sociodemographic characteristics, lifestyle factors, and chronic conditions, the HRs were 0.94 (95% CI, 0.91-0.97) per 100-kcal energy intake increment and 0.93 (0.89-0.97) per 10-unit GL increment in late morning. Replacing energy intake or GL from early morning (6:00-8:59 a.m.), afternoon (12:00-5:59 p.m.), or evening (6:00-11:59 p.m.) with late-morning equivalents was associated with a comparably lower diabetes risk. CONCLUSIONS: This study identified late morning as a favorable meal timing in Hispanic/Latino adults, providing a novel perspective on type 2 diabetes prevention that warrants confirmation.

title: Electropalatographic Study of Speech Sound Errors in Adults with Acquired Aphasia
Creators: name: Wood, Sara Elizabeth
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1997

description: Traditionally speech errors in adults with acquired aphasia have been described as either apraxic errors, characteristic of anterior lesions in the cerebral cortex affecting areas such as Broca's area, or phonemic paraphasic errors due to posterior lesions in areas such as Wernicke’s area. However, studies have reported overlap in the descriptions of apraxic and phonemic paraphasic errors despite the assumption that these errors arise from different levels in the speech planning and execution process. For example, phonemic substitutions are associated with both types of error. Part of the problem is due to difficulties in identifying the precise nature and source of the errors which cannot be resolved by auditory perceptual judgements alone. This study investigates, by means of elcctropalatography (EPG), the location and timing of contact patterns produced by ten adults with acquired aphasia. The subjects were variously diagnosed by traditional classification as Broca’s aphasic with or without apraxia, conduction and anomic. These subjects variously demonstrated atypical patterns when compared to ten control speakers such as: increased temporal and/or spatial variability; specific difficulties in the sequencing and timing of two adjacent lingual consonants; and the presence of intrusive lingual/palatal contact patterns. These errors were usually undetected through auditory analysis. The atypical patterns were not associated uniquely with a particular aphasic syndrome but were subject specific and often related to the site of the lesion within the brain, for example, the basal ganglia. Both subjects diagnosed with apraxia of speech and those with phonemic paraphasia produced the EPG patterns noted above. The EPG data provided insights into the nature and origins of errors such as substitutions which were unavailable from auditory-based analysis. Many of these error patterns could be accounted for by modification to Dell’s model of spreading activation (Dell, 1980, 1985, 1986, 1990). The results have important implications for therapeutic intervention since accurate diagnosis is crucial for effective intervention.

description: The POINT-AGAPE collaboration is currently searching for massive compact halo objects (MACHOs) towards the Andromeda galaxy (M31). The survey aims to exploit the high inclination of the M31 disk, which causes an asymmetry in the spatial distribution of M31 MACHOs. Here, we investigate the effects of halo velocity anisotropy and flattening on the asymmetry signal using simple halo models. For a spherically symmetric and isotropic halo, we find that the underlying pixel-lensing rate in far-disk M31 MACHOs is more than 5 times the rate of near-disk events. We find that the asymmetry is increased further by about 30% if the MACHOs occupy radial orbits rather than tangential orbits, but is substantially reduced if the MACHOs lie in a flattened halo. However, even for haloes with a minor-to-major axis ratio q = 0.3, the numbers of M31 MACHOs in the far-side outnumber those in the near-side by a factor of ~2. We show that, if positional information is exploited in addition to number counts, then the number of candidate events required to confirm asymmetry for a range of flattened and anisotropic halo models is achievable, even with significant contamination by variable stars and foreground microlensing events. For pixel-lensing surveys which probe a representative portion of the M31 disk, a sample of around 50 candidates is likely to be sufficient to detect asymmetry within spherical haloes, even if half the sample is contaminated, or to detect asymmetry in haloes as flat as q = 0.3 provided less than a third of the sample comprises contaminants. We also argue that, provided its mass-to-light ratio is less than 100, the recently observed stellar stream around M31 is not problematic for the detection of asymmetry. (Abstract slightly abridged.)

As the demand for paper increases, the environmental impact of paper production has increased over the millennium. This report investigates the economical, social and the environmental impact of wheat paper usage in UBC. The scope of this project is to determine whether replacing 30% post consumer paper with wheat straw paper on the UBC campus will reduce greenhouse gas emission, benefit British Columbia’s economy and determine Canada’s ability to produce wheat paper on a mass scale. In the social section of the report, a survey was conducted regarding the quality between 30% post consumer fiber paper and wheat straw paper. In the environmental section of the report, the 30% post consumer fiber paper and wheat straw paper were compared based on the emission during production of the two types of paper. In the social section of the report, the difficulties of producing wheat paper are discussed and barrier preventing the widespread of wheat paper in all parts of Canada.

description: Complex systems often exhibit multiple levels of organization covering a wide range of physical scales, so the study of the hierarchical decomposition of their structure and function is frequently convenient. To better understand this phenomenon, we introduce a generalization of information theory that works with hierarchical partitions. We begin revisiting the recently introduced Hierarchical Mutual Information (HMI), and show that it can be written as a level by level summation of classical conditional mutual information terms. Then, we prove that the HMI is bounded from above by the corresponding hierarchical joint entropy. In this way, in analogy to the classical case, we derive hierarchical generalizations of many other classical information-theoretic quantities. In particular, we prove that, as opposed to its classical counterpart, the hierarchical generalization of the Variation of Information is not a metric distance, but it admits a transformation into one. Moreover, focusing on potential applications of the existing developments of the theory, we show how to adjust by chance the HMI. We also corroborate and analyze all the presented theoretical results with exhaustive numerical computations, and include an illustrative application example of the introduced formalism. Finally, we mention some open problems that should be eventually addressed for the proposed generalization of information theory to reach maturity.

It is found that the large nuclear modification factor for proton production can be well reproduced by a calculation of the 3-quark recombination process.

description: Post-earthquake damage evaluation has indicated that although the buildings with shear walls exhibited an appropriate overall performance in the recent severe earthquakes, in some cases, however, the columns and the shear walls were damaged, due to the presence of short structural elements and inadequate transverse reinforcement. Such memories amongst engineers have promoted this attitude that the shear walls structures exhibit a brittle overall performance. So the conviction that shear walls are inherently brittle still prevails amongst engineers, and therefore, they usually prefer to choose moment-resisting RC frames without shear walls. For getting an insight into the nonlinear behavior of RC shear walls, we have reviewed the experiments conducted on the RC shear walls. Besides, through using the post-earthquake reports written after major earthquakes, we have checked and scrutinized the seismic performance of RC frames equipped with shear walls too. Investigations performed on the nonlinear behavior of the shear walls have demonstrated that slender shear walls, designed to fail in flexural mode, could safely dissipate excitations energy of the earthquakes. These studies also revealed that even squat shear walls can be designed in a way that their behavior would be similar to those of the slender walls. Considering these matters, designed shear walls according to the recent codes maintain sufficient shear strength and respectable energy dissipation capability.

description: Measuring ThermoRemanent Magnetization (TRM) decays on a single crystal CuMn(6$\%$) spin glass sample, we have systematically mapped the rapid decrease of the characteristic timescale $tw_{eff}$ near $T_g$. Using $tw_{eff}$ to determine the length scale of the growth of correlations during the waiting time, $ξ_{TRM}$, (observed in both numerical studies and experiment), we observe both growth of $ξ_{TRM}$ in the spin glass phase and then a rapid reduction very close to $T_g$. We interpret this reduction in $ξ_{TRM}$, for all waiting times, as being governed by the critical correlation length scale $ξ_{crit}=a(T-T_c)^{-ν}$.

description: Randomness is a valuable resource in science, cryptography, engineering, and information technology. Quantum-mechanical sources of randomness are attractive because of the indeterminism of individual quantum processes. Here we consider the production of random bits from polarization measurements on photons. We first present a pedagogical discussion of how the quantum randomness inherent in such measurements is connected to quantum coherence, and how it can be quantified in terms of the quantum state and an associated entropy value known as min-entropy. We then explore these concepts by performing a series of single-photon experiments that are suitable for the undergraduate laboratory. We prepare photons in different nonentangled and entangled states, and measure these states tomographically. We use the information about the quantum state to determine, in terms of the min-entropy, the minimum amount of randomness produced from a given photon state by different bit-generating measurements. This is helpful in assessing the presence of quantum randomness and in ensuring the quality and security of the random-bit source.

description: Accurate measurement of spin-dependent parton distributions in production of electroweak bosons with polarized proton beams at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider depends on good understanding of QCD radiation at small transverse momenta $q_T$ of vector bosons. We present a theoretical formalism for small-$q_T$ resummation of the cross sections for production of virtual photons, W, and Z bosons, with the subsequent decay of these bosons into lepton pairs, for arbitrary longitudinal polarizations of the proton beams.

description: The Burst and Transient Source Experiment (BATSE), aboard the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory (CGRO), provided a record of the low-energy gamma-ray sky (20-1000 keV) between 1991 April and 2000 May (9.1y). Using the Earth Occultation Technique to extract flux information, a catalog of sources using data from the BATSE large area detectors has been prepared. The first part of the catalog consists of results from the monitoring of 58 sources, mostly Galactic. For these sources, we have included tables of flux and spectral data, and outburst times for transients. Light curves (or flux histories) have been placed on the world wide web. We then performed a deep-sampling of 179 objects (including the aforementioned 58 objects) combining data from the entire 9.1y BATSE dataset. Source types considered were primarily accreting binaries, but a small number of representative active galaxies, X-ray-emitting stars, and supernova remnants were also included. The deep sample results include definite detections of 83 objects and possible detections of 36 additional objects. The definite detections spanned three classes of sources: accreting black hole and neutron star binaries, active galaxies and supernova remnants. Flux data for the deep sample are presented in four energy bands: 20-40, 40-70, 70-160, and 160-430 keV. The limiting average flux level (9.1 y) for the sample varies from 3.5 to 20 mCrab (5 sigma) between 20 and 430 keV, depending on systematic error, which in turn is primarily dependent on the sky location. To strengthen the credibility of detection of weaker sources (5-25 mCrab), we generated Earth occultation images, searched for periodic behavior using FFT and epoch folding methods, and critically evaluated the energy-dependent emission in the four flux bands.

Specific heat behavior of high temperature superconductors in the pseudogap regime

Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: Superconductivity (cond-mat.supr-con)

description: Experimental data obtained from thermodynamic measurements in underdoped high temperature superconductors show unusual anomalies in the temperature dependence of the electronic specific heat both in the normal state and at the critical point associated to the superconducting phase transition. The observed deviations from the standard behavior are probably linked with the opening of a pseudogap in the energy spectrum of the single-particle excitations associated with the normal state. Based on a phenomenological description of the pseudogap phase we perform analytical and numerical calculations for the temperature dependence of the specific heat for both the superconducting and normal state. The reduced specific heat jump at the transition point can be explained by a modified electronic single particle contribution to the specific heat in the presence of the normal state pseudogap. The hump observed in the normal state specific heat can be explained by the electronic pair contribution associated with strong fluctuations of the order parameter in the critical region. The obtained theoretical results are discussed in connection with experimental data for cuprates.

Trapping of swimmers in a vortex lattice

description: We examine the motion of rigid, ellipsoidal swimmers subjected to a steady vortex flow in two dimensions. Numerical simulations of swimmers in a spatially periodic array of vortices reveal a range of possible behaviors, including trapping inside a single vortex and motility-induced diffusion across many vortices. While the trapping probability vanishes at a sufficiently high swimming speed, we find that it exhibits surprisingly large oscillations as this critical swimming speed is approached. Strikingly, at even higher swimming speeds, we find swimmers that swim perpendicular to their elongation direction can again become trapped. To explain this complex behavior, we investigate the underlying swimmer phase-space geometry. We identify the fixed points and periodic orbits of the swimmer equations of motion that regulate swimmer trapping inside a single vortex cell. For low to intermediate swimming speeds, we find that a stable periodic orbit surrounded by invariant tori forms a transport barrier to swimmers and can trap them inside individual vortices. For swimming speeds approaching the maximum fluid speed, we find instead that perpendicular swimmers can be trapped by asymptotically stable fixed points. A bifurcation analysis of the stable periodic orbit and the fixed points explains the complex and non-monotonic breakdown and reemergence of swimmer trapping as the swimmer speed and shape are varied.

description: Considering the density dependence of quark masses, we investigate the color-flavor-locked matter and its stability relative to the ( unpaired ) strange quark matter. We find that, when the current mass of strange quark $m_s$ is small, the strange quark matter remains stable for the moderate baryon densities. When $m_s$ is large, the gapless phase of the color-flavor-locked matter is found to be difficult to be stable. A schematic phase diagram of three-flavor quark matter is presented, in which the color-flavor-locked phase region is suppressed in comparison with the previous results.
