description: (Abridged) The amplitude of the thermal Sunyaev Zel'dovich effect (tSZ) power spectrum is extremely sensitive to the abundance of galaxy clusters and therefore to fundamental cosmological parameters that control their growth, such as sigma_8 and Omega_m. Here we explore the sensitivity of the tSZ power spectrum to important non-gravitational ('sub-grid') physics by employing the cosmo-OWLS suite of large-volume cosmological hydrodynamical simulations, run in both the Planck and WMAP7 best-fit cosmologies. On intermediate and small angular scales (ell > ~1000, or theta < ~10 arcmin), accessible with the South Pole Telescope and the Atacama Cosmology Telescope, the predicted tSZ power spectrum is highly model dependent, with AGN feedback having a particularly large effect. However, at large scales, observable with the Planck telescope, the effects of sub-grid physics are minor. Comparing the simulations with observations, we find a significant amplitude offset on all measured angular scales (including large scales), if the Planck best-fit cosmology is assumed by the simulations. This is shown to be a generic result for all current tSZ models. By contrast, if the WMAP7 cosmology is adopted, there is full consistency with the Planck power spectrum measurements on large scales and agreement at the 2 sigma level with the SPT/ACT measurements at intermediate scales for our fiducial AGN model, which Le Brun et al. (2014) have shown reproduces the 'resolved' properties of the local cluster population remarkably well. These findings strongly suggest that there are significantly fewer massive galaxy clusters than expected for the Planck best-fit cosmology, which is consistent with recent measurements of the tSZ number counts. Our findings therefore pose a significant challenge to the cosmological parameter values preferred (and/or the model adopted) by the Planck primary CMB analyses.

description: We present the two-loop sunrise integral with arbitrary non-zero masses in two space-time dimensions in terms of elliptic dilogarithms. We find that the structure of the result is as simple and elegant as in the equal mass case, only the arguments of the elliptic dilogarithms are modified. These arguments have a nice geometric interpretation.

description: In the present paper, the evolution of the Alfvén modes is studied in a realistic ASDEX Upgrade equilibrium by analysing the results of simulations with the global, electromagnetic, gyrokinetic particle-in-cell code ORB5. The energetic particles are modelled both via the newly implemented isotropic slowing-down and with Maxwellian distribution functions. The comparison of the numerical results shows that modelling the energetic particles with the equivalent Maxwellian rather than with the slowing-down, does not affect the frequency of the driven Alfvén mode, while its growth rate appears to be underestimated with a quantitative difference as large as almost 30 %. Additionally the choice of the isotropic slowing-down allows a better description of the nonlinear modification of the dominant Alfvén mode frequency, while an equivalent Maxwellian underestimates it. A good comparison with the experimental spectrogram is found.

Self-sustained asymmetry of lepton-number emission: A new phenomenon during the supernova shock-accretion phase in three dimensions

description: During the stalled-shock phase of our 3D hydrodynamical core-collapse simulations with energy-dependent, 3-flavor neutrino transport, the lepton-number flux (nue minus antinue) emerges predominantly in one hemisphere. This novel, spherical-symmetry breaking neutrino-hydrodynamical instability is termed LESA for "Lepton-number Emission Self-sustained Asymmetry." While the individual nue and antinue fluxes show a pronounced dipole pattern, the heavy-flavor neutrino fluxes and the overall luminosity are almost spherically symmetric. Initially, LESA seems to develop stochastically from convective fluctuations, it exists for hundreds of milliseconds or more, and it persists during violent shock sloshing associated with the standing accretion shock instability. The nue minus antinue flux asymmetry originates mainly below the neutrinosphere in a region of pronounced proto-neutron star (PNS) convection, which is stronger in the hemisphere of enhanced lepton-number flux. On this side of the PNS, the mass-accretion rate of lepton-rich matter is larger, amplifying the lepton-emission asymmetry, because the spherical stellar infall deflects on a dipolar deformation of the stalled shock. The increased shock radius in the hemisphere of less mass accretion and minimal lepton-number flux (antinue flux maximum) is sustained by stronger convection on this side, which is boosted by stronger neutrino heating because the average antinue energy is higher than the average nue energy. Asymmetric heating thus supports the global deformation despite extremely nonstationary convective overturn behind the shock. While these different elements of LESA form a consistent picture, a full understanding remains elusive at present. There may be important implications for neutrino-flavor oscillations, the neutron-to-proton ratio in the neutrino-heated supernova ejecta, and neutron-star kicks, which remain to be explored.

description: Advances in deep neural networks (DNNs) are transforming science and technology. However, the increasing computational demands of the most powerful DNNs limit deployment on low-power devices, such as smartphones and sensors -- and this trend is accelerated by the simultaneous move towards Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices. Numerous efforts are underway to lower power consumption, but a fundamental bottleneck remains due to energy consumption in matrix algebra, even for analog approaches including neuromorphic, analog memory and photonic meshes. Here we introduce and demonstrate a new approach that sharply reduces energy required for matrix algebra by doing away with weight memory access on edge devices, enabling orders of magnitude energy and latency reduction. At the core of our approach is a new concept that decentralizes the DNN for delocalized, optically accelerated matrix algebra on edge devices. Using a silicon photonic smart transceiver, we demonstrate experimentally that this scheme, termed Netcast, dramatically reduces energy consumption. We demonstrate operation in a photon-starved environment with 40 aJ/multiply of optical energy for 98.8% accurate image recognition and <1 photon/multiply using single photon detectors. Furthermore, we show realistic deployment of our system, classifying images with 3 THz of bandwidth over 86 km of deployed optical fiber in a Boston-area fiber network. Our approach enables computing on a new generation of edge devices with speeds comparable to modern digital electronics and power consumption that is orders of magnitude lower.
title: Ticks, hosts, habitats, and humans: A One Health approach for investigating Lyme borreliosis risk in Ireland

description: Lyme borreliosis (or Lyme disease) is a zoonotic infection, transmitted to humans via the bite of a tick which is carrying a pathogenic genospecies of the Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato bacterial complex. As a zoonotic disease, a One Health approach is necessary to fully understand Lyme disease risk. Furthermore, while the geographic range of both pathogen and vector is broad, differences in pathogen genospecies, vector species, habitats, and host assemblages between regions means that the drivers of Lyme borreliosis risk vary geographically. While Lyme borreliosis epidemiology, ecology, and risk may be better understood in some regions of Europe, significant knowledge gaps remain in relation to Lyme borreliosis in Ireland. These include the geographic and demographic variability in the epidemiology of Lyme borreliosis in Ireland; the effect of various host, habitat, and abiotic factors on ecological markers of disease risk; and the disease awareness and perceptions of at-risk groups. To address these knowledge gaps, a One Health, trans-disciplinary approach to examining Lyme disease in Ireland, incorporating methods from the disciplines of epidemiology, ecology, and social science have been adopted in this study. Using meta-analytic and field study techniques, the ecological markers of disease risk (nymphal tick abundance, nymphal tick infection prevalence, density of infected nymphs) have been defined for Ireland, and discussed in the context of data obtained from an epidemiological observational analysis. This work also assessed the drivers of the above markers of disease risk. Results suggest that woodland habitat factors (such as size and type) can affect nymphal infection prevalence. We have also found that nymphal abundance (and therefore bite risk) peaks in April, has an inverse and seasonal relationship with deer activity, and an inverse relationship with robin activity. Finally, a study of individuals whose occupation or recreational activities increase their exposure to Lyme borreliosis has generated information on risk perceptions, awareness, disease knowledge, and training levels amongst this cohort in Ireland. We have identified a lack of geographical variability in perceived risk, a lack of training amongst at-risk groups, and knowledge gaps in relation to risk habitats and disease symptoms. The abovementioned findings of this work have implications for the future study of human populations, ticks, wildlife hosts, and the Lyme borreliosis pathogen in Ireland. The findings also have implications for the design, timing, and implementation of future awareness campaigns aiming to decrease Lyme borreliosis risk in Ireland.

description: We introduce a computationally efficient method based on the path integral formalism to describe defect-modified graphene. By taking into account the entire Brillouin zone, our approach respects the lattice symmetry and can be used to investigate both short-range and long-range effects. The proposed method's key advantage is that the computational complexity does not increase with the system size, scaling, instead, with the number of defects. As a demonstration of our method, we explore the graphene-mediated RKKY interaction between multiple magnetic impurities. Our results concur with earlier findings by showing that the interaction strength and sign depend on various factors like impurity separation, sublattice arrangement, and system doping. We demonstrate that frustration can be introduced between the impurity spins by controlling their relative positions and that this frustration can be switched on and off by tuning the chemical potential of the system.

description: We propose a new strategy for anomaly detection at the LHC based on unsupervised quantum machine learning algorithms. To accommodate the constraints on the problem size dictated by the limitations of current quantum hardware we develop a classical convolutional autoencoder. The designed quantum anomaly detection models, namely an unsupervised kernel machine and two clustering algorithms, are trained to find new-physics events in the latent representation of LHC data produced by the autoencoder. The performance of the quantum algorithms is benchmarked against classical counterparts on different new-physics scenarios and its dependence on the dimensionality of the latent space and the size of the training dataset is studied. For kernel-based anomaly detection, we identify a regime where the quantum model significantly outperforms its classical counterpart. An instance of the kernel machine is implemented on a quantum computer to verify its suitability for available hardware. We demonstrate that the observed consistent performance advantage is related to the inherent quantum properties of the circuit used.

Leptogenesis in crossing and runaway regimes

description: We study the impact of effective thermal masses and widths on resonant leptogenesis. We identify two distinct possibilities which we refer to as crossing and runaway regimes. In the runaway regime the mass difference grows monotonously with temperature, whereas it initially decreases in the crossing regime, such that the effective masses become equal at some temperature. Following the conventional logic the source of the asymmetry would vanish in the latter case. Using non-equilibrium quantum field theory, we analytically demonstrate that the vanishing of the difference of the effective masses does however neither imply a suppression nor a strong enhancement of the source for the lepton asymmetry. In the vicinity of the crossing point the asymmetry calculated in an (improved) Boltzmann limit develops a spurious peak, which signals the breakdown of the quasiparticle approximation. In the exact result this spurious enhancement is compensated by coherent transitions between the two mass shells. Despite the breakdown of the quasiparticle approximation off-shell contributions remain negligibly small even at the crossing point.

description: To facilitate and focus the scope of work development relating to the environmental restoration of the Hudson-Raritan Estuary/ Meadowlands, this Meadowlands Environmental Site Information Compilation (MESIC) was conducted to identify and catalog available, relevant data. The existing data is organized in this report to facilitate a determination of data gaps and needs, so that a strategy can be created for the substantial data collection effort required for the Meadowlands Feasiblity Study. It is anticipated that the MESIC will serve to advance the Meadowlands FS andeliminate duplication of data previously collected and recorded. The two primary purposes for the MESIC are: 1) to form a baseline of available, relevant information on the various technical areas for each of the MESIC sites, and 2) to facilitate the coordination of potential restoration-related actions within the Meadowlands with the involved regional stakeholders and public.

This is done by relating the computation to the expectation value of a circular Wilson loop and a stress tensor insertion. We also give an exact expression for the Bremsstrahlung function that determines the energy radiated by a quark in the ABJM theory.

As promulgated in the New Jersey Air Pollution Control Act N.J.S.A. 26:2C-9.2C, and as set forth in the implementing regulations of the Air Pollution Control Act (N.J.A.C. 7:27-8 and N.J.A.C. 7:27-22.35), newly constructed, reconstructed, or modified equipment and control apparatus is required to incorporate advances in the art of air pollution control developed for the kind and amount of air contaminant emitted by the applicant's equipment or control apparatus.  The Air Pollution Control Act of New Jersey directed the Department to publish technical manuals that would include performance levels with respect to air pollution control, to be used by some permit applicants for demonstrating advances in the art of air pollution control.  'Advances in the art of air pollution control' is commonly referred to as 'State-of-the-Art' or SOTA.  SOTA generally includes performance limits that are based on air pollution control technology, pollution prevention methods, and process modifications or substitutions that will provide the greatest emission reductions that are technologically and economically feasible.  There are 17 SOTA manuals included in this series.  They cover the following topics:  volatile organic storage tanks; transfer operations; petroleum refineries; asphalt plants; chemical and pharmaceutical processing and manufacturing industries; degreasers and other solvent based metal surface cleaners; surface coating operations; commercial sterilizers and fumigators using ethylene oxide; municipal wastewater/sludge handling and treatment systems; non-hazardous onsite remediation processes; bakery ovens; broilers; internal combustion engines; stationary gas turbines; glass industry; paint, ink, and adhesive manufacturing industries; graphic arts industry.

Inward Swirling Flamelet Model

description: A new rotational flamelet model with inward swirling flow through a stretched vortex tube is developed for sub-grid modeling to be coupled with the resolved flow for turbulent combustion. The model has critical new features compared to existing models. (i) Non-premixed flames, premixed flames, or multi-branched flame structures are determined rather than prescribed. (ii) The effects of vorticity and the related centifugal acceleration are determined. (iii) The strain rates and vorticity applied at the sub-grid level can be directly determined from the resolved-scale strain rates and vorticity without a contrived progress variable. (iv) The flamelet model is three-dimensional. (v) The effect of variable density is addressed. (vi) The inward swirl is created by vorticity combined with two compressive normal strain components; this feature distinguishes the model from counterflow flamelet models. Solutions to the multicomponent Navier-Stokes equations governing the flamelet model are obtained. By coordinate transformation, a similar solution is found for the model, through a system of ordinary differential equations. Vorticity creates a centrifugal force on the sub-grid counterflow that modifies the molecular transport rates, burning rates, and flammability limits. Sample computations of the inward swirling rotational flamelet model without coupling to the resolved flow are presented to demonstrate the importance of the new features. Premixed, nonpremixed, and multi-branched flame structures are examined. Parameter surveys are made with rate of normal strain, vorticity, Damköhler number, and Prandtl number. The centrifugal effect has interesting consequences when combined with the variable-density field. Flow direction can reverse; burning rates can be modified; flammability limits can be extended.

description: We study the theory and phenomenology of massive spin-2 fields during the inflation with nonzero background chemical potential, and extend the cosmological collider physics to tensor modes. We identify a unique dimension-5 and parity-violating chemical potential operator for massive spin-2 fields, which leads to a ghost-free linear theory propagating one scalar mode and two tensor modes. The chemical potential greatly boosts the production of one tensor mode even for very heavy spin-2 particles, and thereby leads to large and distinct cosmological collider signals for massive spin-2 particles. The large signals show up at the tree-level in both the curvature trispectrum and the tensor-curvature mixed bispectrum.

description: The study of the non-equilibrium dynamics of many-body systems after a quantum quench received a considerable boost and a deep theoretical understanding from the path integral formulation in imaginary time. However, the celebrated problem of a quench in the Luttinger parameter of a one dimensional quantum critical system (massless quench) has so far only been solved in the real-time Heisenberg picture. In order to bridge this theoretical gap and to understand on the same ground massive and massless quenches, we study the problem of a gaussian field characterized by a coupling parameter K within a strip and a different one K0 in the remaining two semi-infinite planes. We give a fully analytical solution using the electrostatic analogy with the problem of a dielectric material within a strip surrounded by an infinite medium of different dielectric constant, and exploiting the method of charge images. After analytic continuation, this solution allows us to obtain all the correlation functions after the quench within a path integral approach in imaginary time, thus recovering and generalizing the results in real time. Furthermore, this imaginary-time approach establishes a remarkable connection between the quench and the famous problem of the conductivity of a Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid coupled to two semi-infinite leads: the two are in fact related by a rotation of the spacetime coordinates.

description: We find an optical Raman lattice without spin-orbit coupling showing chiral topological orders for cold atoms. Two incident plane-wave lasers are applied to generate simultaneously a double-well square lattice and periodic Raman couplings, the latter of which drive the nearest-neighbor hopping and create a staggered flux pattern across the lattice. Such a minimal setup is can yield the quantum anomalous Hall effect in the single particle regime, while in the interacting regime it achieves the $J_1$-$J_2$-$K$ model with all parameters controllable, which supports a chiral spin liquid phase. We further show that heating in the present optical Raman lattice is reduced by more than one order of magnitude compared with the conventional laser-assisted tunneling schemes. This suggests that the predicted topological states be well reachable with the current experimental capability.

description: The BICEP2 collaboration reports a detection of primordial cosmic microwave background (CMB) B-mode with a tensor-scalar ratio $r=0.20^{+0.07}_{-0.05}$ (68% C.L.). However, this result is in tension with the recent Planck limit, $r<0.11$ (95% C.L.), on constraining inflation models. In this Letter we consider an inflationary cosmology with a preceding nonsingular bounce which gives rise to observable signatures on primordial perturbations. One interesting phenomenon is that both the primordial scalar and tensor modes can have a step feature on their power spectra, which nicely cancels the tensor excess power on the CMB temperature power spectrum. By performing a global analysis, we obtain the 68% C.L. constraints on the parameters of the model from the Planck+WP and BICEP2 data together: the jump scale $\log_{10}(k_{\rm b}/{\rm Mpc}^{-1})=-2.4\pm0.2$ and the spectrum amplitude ratio of bounce-to-inflation $r_B\equiv P_{\rm m} / A_{\rm s} = 0.71\pm0.09$. Our result reveals that the bounce inflation scenario can simultaneously explain the Planck and BICEP2 observations better than the standard $Λ$CDM model, and can be verified by the future CMB polarization measurements.

description: Fitting experiment data onto a curve is a common signal processing technique to extract data features and establish the relationship between variables. Often, we expect the curve to comply with some analytical function and then turn data fitting into estimating the unknown parameters of a function. Among analytical functions for data fitting, Gaussian function is the most widely used one due to its extensive applications in numerous science and engineering fields. To name just a few, Gaussian function is highly popular in statistical signal processing and analysis, thanks to the central limit theorem [1]; Gaussian function frequently appears in the quantum harmonic oscillator, quantum field theory, optics, lasers, and many other theories and models in Physics [2]; moreover, Gaussian function is widely applied in chemistry for depicting molecular orbitals, in computer science for imaging processing and in artificial intelligence for defining neural networks.

Spin-memory effect and negative magnetoresistance in hopping conductivity

description: We propose a mechanism for negative isotropic magnetoresistance in the hopping regime. It results from a memory effect encrypted into spin correlations that are not taken into account by the conventional theory of hopping conductivity. The spin correlations are generated by the nonequilibrium electric currents and lead to the decrease of the conductivity. The application of the magnetic field destroys the correlations thus enhancing the conductance. This effect can occur even at magnetic fields as small as a few gauss.

description: Algorithmic surgical workflow recognition is an ongoing research field and can be divided into laparoscopic (Internal) and operating room (External) analysis. So far many different works for the internal analysis have been proposed with the combination of a frame-level and an additional temporal model to address the temporal ambiguities between different workflow phases. For the External recognition task, Clip-level methods are in the focus of researchers targeting the local ambiguities present in the OR scene. In this work we evaluate combinations of different model architectures for the task of surgical workflow recognition to provide a fair comparison of the methods for both Internal and External analysis. We show that methods designed for the Internal analysis can be transferred to the external task with comparable performance gains for different architectures.

Interplay of charge and spin fluctuations of strongly interacting electrons on the kagome lattice

description: We study electrons hopping on a kagome lattice at third filling described by an extended Hubbard Hamiltonian with on-site and nearest-neighbour repulsions in the strongly correlated limit. As a consequence of the commensurate filling and the large interactions, each triangle has precisely two electrons in the effective low energy description, and these electrons form chains of different lengths. The effective Hamiltonian includes the ring exchange around the hexagons as well as the nearest-neighbor Heisenberg interaction. Using large scale exact diagonalization, we find that the effective model exhibits two different phases: If the charge fluctuations are small, the magnetic fluctuations confine the charges to short loops around hexagons, yielding a gapped charge ordered phase. When the charge fluctuations dominate, the system undergoes a quantum phase transition to a resonating plaquette phase with ordered spins and gapless spin excitations. We find that a peculiar conservation law is fulfilled: the electron in the chains can be divided into two sublattices, and this division is conserved by the ring exchange term.
