description: We present evidence of topological surface states in beta-Ag2Te through first-principles calculations and periodic quantum interference effect in single crystalline nanoribbon. Our first-principles calculations show that beta-Ag2Te is a topological insulator with a gapless Dirac cone with strong anisotropy. To experimentally probe the topological surface state, we synthesized high quality beta-Ag2Te nanoribbons and performed electron transport measurements. The coexistence of pronounced Aharonov-Bohm oscillations and weak Altshuler-Aronov-Spivak oscillations clearly demonstrates coherent electron transport around the perimeter of beta-Ag2Te nanoribbon and therefore the existence of metallic surface states, which is further supported by the temperature dependence of resistivity for beta-Ag2Te nanoribbons with different cross section areas. Highly anisotropic topological surface state of beta-Ag2Te suggests that the material is a promising material for fundamental study and future spintronic devices.

A Last Look at the Microwave Haze/Bubbles with WMAP
Creators: name: Dobler, Gregory

Year: 2011
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics of Galaxies (astro-ph.GA)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The microwave "haze" was first discovered with the initial release of the full sky data from the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe. It is diffuse emission towards the center of our Galaxy with spectral behavior that makes it difficult to categorize as any of the previously known emission mechanisms at those wavelengths. With now seven years of WMAP data publicly available, we have learned much about the nature of the haze, and with the release of data from the Fermi Gamma-Ray Space Telescope and the discovery of the gamma-ray haze/bubbles, we have had a spectacular confirmation of its existence at other wavelengths. As the WMAP mission winds down and the Planck mission prepares to release data, I take a last look at what WMAP has to tell us about the origin of this unique Galactic feature. Much like the gamma-rays, the microwave haze/bubbles is elongated in latitude with respect to longitude by a factor of roughly two, and at high latitudes, the microwave emission cuts off sharply above ~35 degrees (compared to ~50 degrees in the gammas). The hard spectrum of electrons required to generate the microwave synchrotron is consistent with that required to generate the gamma-ray emission via inverse Compton scattering, though it is likely that these signals result from distinct regions of the spectrum (~10 GeV for the microwaves, ~1 TeV for the gammas). While there is no evidence for significant haze polarization in the 7-year WMAP data, I demonstrate explicitly that it is unlikely such a signal would be detectable above the noise.

description: We provide a full characterization of the spectral properties of spiral spin density wave (SSDW) states which emerge in one-dimensional electron systems coupled to localized magnetic moments or quantum wires with spin-orbit interactions. We derive analytic results for the spectral function, local density of states and optical conductivity in the low-energy limit by using field theory techniques. We identify various collective modes and show that the spectrum strongly depends on the interaction strength between the electrons. The results provide characteristic signatures for an experimental detection of SSDW states.

description: Background: There is a lack of published guidelines related to the use of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) for Huntington’s disease (HD). We conducted a review of the literature to summarize the available evidence for various mind–body practices and nutraceuticals. Methods: PubMed and Cochrane Library electronic databases were searched independently from inception to February 2019 by two independent raters. Studies were classified for the level of evidence (Class I, II, III, or IV) according to the American Academy of Neurology (AAN) classification scale. Results: Randomized controlled trials in HD were reviewed for mind–body interventions (dance therapy, music therapy, and exercise), alternative systems (traditional Chinese medicine [TCM]), and nutraceuticals/diet (aminooxyacetic acid [AOAA], coenzyme q10, creatine, cannabinoids, alpha-tocopherol, eicosapentaenoic acid, idebenone, levocarnitine, and triheptanoin). Few studies met AAN Class I or II level of evidence for benefits, and these are highlighted. Discussion: There is a relative paucity of clinical trials examining CAM modalities in HD when compared to other neurodegenerative disorders. Currently, there is no evidence supporting disease modification or symptom improvement with any specific dietary or nutraceutical supplement for HD. Supervised exercise and contemporary dance are safe for people with HD, but more robust studies are warranted to guide specific recommendations for these and other mind–body interventions.

description: From the Cognitive Linguistics (CL) stance, language is a dynamic interplay of complex subsystems composed of symbolic units, and meaning is the driving force behind form. Meaning arises from our physical experience (i.e., embodied cognition), and interacts with culture-specific ways of conceptualizing entities and events through language. As a usage-based model of language acquisition, CL has made significant contributions to second language (L2) pedagogy. Some of these contributions will be briefly discussed below to shed light on how CL research in Second Language Acquisition (SLA) has extended to Instructed SLA.

description: Background: Specific phenomenology and pattern of involvement in movement disorders point toward a probable clinical diagnosis. For example, forehead chorea usually suggests Huntington’s disease; feeding dystonia suggests neuroacanthocytosis and risus sardonicus is commonly seen in Wilson’s disease. Dystonic opisthotonus has been described as a characteristic feature of neurodegeneration with brain iron accumulation (NBIA) related to PANK2 and PLA2G6 mutations. Case report: We describe two additional patients in their 30s with severe extensor truncal dystonia causing opisthotonic posturing in whom evaluation revealed the diagnosis of NBIA confirmed by genetic testing. Discussion: Dystonic opisthotonus may be more common in NBIA than it is reported and its presence especially in a young patient should alert the neurologists to a possibility of probable NBIA.
Habitat use, movement, and vulnerability of sedentary fishes in a dynamic world
Creators: name: Caldwell, Iain Robertson
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: In this thesis I quantify habitat use, movement, and vulnerability for seahorses and other sedentary fishes to understand how they may respond to habitat related threats. Surviving habitat change depends on either acclimatizing or escaping. Sedentary animals could be especially vulnerable if they require specific habitats or their ability to escape is reduced. However, dynamic coastal environments could promote greater flexibility in fish living there. Populations of the sedentary seahorse Hippocampus guttulatus living in a dynamic estuary seem flexible in their habitat use, but individuals may be less so. I explored H.guttulatus habitat associations using underwater surveys and displacement experiments in the Ria Formosa lagoon. Seahorse populations declined substantially (73-94%) compared to previous surveys, but declines were unassociated with measured habitat changes. At low densities, H.guttulatus lived in a range of habitats but in warmer, deeper locations. When displaced, H.guttulatus moved to a variety of environments but individual seahorses moved towards locations with familiar depths and current speeds. Individual variability could help protect populations in degrading habitat but individuals may still need to move to survive. Hippocampus guttulatus can move further than their small home ranges would suggest, which might help them escape habitat loss and degradation. In aquarium experiments I showed that small acoustic tags could be used on captive H.guttulatus with minimal effects on movement and behaviour. I displaced tagged H.guttulatus and found they moved ten times further than typical home range movements. While H.guttulatus shows some capacity for acclimatizing and escaping, their sedentary nature could confer vulnerability to habitat loss and degradation. Models simulating fish movement across artificial seascapes predicted sedentary fish should be more sensitive to habitat loss and fragmentation than more mobile fish. Comparative analyses of movement and vulnerability among marine benthic fish species supported these results. Among fishes threatened by habitat degradation, those that rarely move beyond home ranges were more threatened than those that migrate or disperse. My thesis identified general relationships between movement and vulnerability in marine fishes, which could help prioritize conservation, while raising further questions about the additional effects of habitat specialization and environmental variability.

Construction of Almost Disjunct Matrices for Group Testing

description: In a \emph{group testing} scheme, a set of tests is designed to identify a small number $t$ of defective items among a large set (of size $N$) of items. In the non-adaptive scenario the set of tests has to be designed in one-shot. In this setting, designing a testing scheme is equivalent to the construction of a \emph{disjunct matrix}, an $M \times N$ matrix where the union of supports of any $t$ columns does not contain the support of any other column. In principle, one wants to have such a matrix with minimum possible number $M$ of rows (tests). One of the main ways of constructing disjunct matrices relies on \emph{constant weight error-correcting codes} and their \emph{minimum distance}. In this paper, we consider a relaxed definition of a disjunct matrix known as \emph{almost disjunct matrix}. This concept is also studied under the name of \emph{weakly separated design} in the literature. The relaxed definition allows one to come up with group testing schemes where a close-to-one fraction of all possible sets of defective items are identifiable. Our main contribution is twofold. First, we go beyond the minimum distance analysis and connect the \emph{average distance} of a constant weight code to the parameters of an almost disjunct matrix constructed from it. Our second contribution is to explicitly construct almost disjunct matrices based on our average distance analysis, that have much smaller number of rows than any previous explicit construction of disjunct matrices. The parameters of our construction can be varied to cover a large range of relations for $t$ and $N$.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Fish growth is affected by variations in a number of factors including climate (temperature) and size-selective fishing. The effects of these factors on resulting size-atage variation must be disentangled to allow for the development of successful management strategies. Of the factors impacting variation in growth, temperature is a controlling factor governing growth via reaction rates at the cellular (metabolic) level and the effects of temperature on size-at-age variation must be examined foremost. Disentangling effects of temperature on size-at-age requires a metric relevant to the integrated growth metric that is size-at-age. In previous work, we show this physiologically relevant metric is the growing degree-day (GDD, ºC d). Here we employ the GDD metric to quantify the influence of temperature variation on a 30-yr decline in length-at-age among mature, eastern Scotian Shelf (Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organization statistical divisions 4VW) haddock (Melanogrammus aeglefinus). We present evidence that remaining, temperature-independent variation in length-at-age among year-classes is consistent with sustained size-selective fishing of large (i.e. fastgrowing and late-maturing) fish. We argue that size-selective fishing is the most parsimonious explanation for the systematic declines in size-at-age and age-at-maturity found in Scotian Shelf haddock.

description: Gravity takes care of both inflation and subsequent reheating in Starobinsky's R^2-model. The latter is due to inflaton gravitation decays dominated by scalar particle production. It is tempting to suggest that dark matter particles are also produced in this process. Since free scalars being too hot cannot serve as viable dark matter (Phys.Lett.B700:157-162,2011), we further study the issue considering two options: scalars with non-minimal coupling to gravity and superheavy scalars generated at inflationary stage. We found that the first option allows for viable warm or cold dark matter if scalar mass exceeds 0.8 MeV. The second option implies supercold dark matter with particle mass 10^16 GeV, which production is saturated at the end of inflation when inflaton-dependent scalar mass rapidly changes and violates adiabaticity. Similar result holds for superheavy fermion dark matter.

description: Classical and quantum aspects of physical systems that can be described by Riemannian non degenerate superspaces are analyzed from the topological and geometrical points of view. For the N=1 case the simplest supermetric introduced in [Physics Letters B \textbf{661}, (2008),186] have the correct number of degrees of freedom for the fermion fields and the super-momentum fulfil the mass shell condition, in sharp contrast with other cases in the literature where the supermetric is degenerate. This fact leads a deviation of the 4-impulse (e.g. mass constraint) that can be mechanically interpreted as a modification of the Newton's law. Quantum aspects of the physical states and the basic states and the projection relation between them, are completely described due the introduction of a new Majorana-Weyl representation of the generators of the underlying group manifold. A new oscillatory fermionic effect in the $B_{0}$ part of the vaccum solution involving the chiral and antichiral components of this Majorana bispinor is explicitly shown.

description: Background: The prevalence of dystonia varies worldwide. A prior report suggested a high prevalence of focal dystonia in the Faroese population, possibly reflecting a founder effect. During standardized neurological examination as part of an ongoing neuroepidemiologic study in the Faroe Islands, we noted an unusual phenomenon of thumb flexion during repetitive hand movements in a subset of subjects and sought to define its phenomenology. Methods: We requested commentary from a panel of dystonia experts regarding the phenomenology of the movements. These experts reviewed the videotaped neurological examination. Results: Among the experts, dystonia was the leading diagnosis. Alternate causes were considered, but deemed less likely. Discussion: Diagnosis of dystonia requires careful clinical assessment and consideration of associated features. We report a novel form of dystonia, not previously described to our knowledge, in this isolated population. Further studies of dystonia prevalence in the Faroe Islands are merited to characterize its burden in this population and its specific clinical characteristics.

description: We investigated the transport properties of BaFe$_2$As$_2$ single crystals before and after annealing with BaAs powder. The annealing remarkably improves transport properties, in particular the magnitude of residual resistivity which decreases by a factor of more than 10. From the resistivity measurement on detwinned crystals we found that the anisotropy of the in-plane resistivity is remarkably diminished after annealing, indicative of dominant contributions to the charge transport from the carriers with isotropic and high mobility below magnetostructural transition temperature $T_{\rm s}$ and the absence of nematic state above $T_{\rm s}$. We found that the Hall resistivity shows strong non-linearity against magnetic field and the magnetoresistance becomes very large at low temperatures. These results give evidence for the manifestation of multiple carriers with distinct characters in the ordered phase below $T_{\rm s}$. By analyzing the magnetic field dependences, we found that at least three carriers equally contribute to the charge transport in the ordered phase, which is in good agreement with the results of recent quantum oscillation measurements.

description: Das Geoportal des Landes Rheinland-Pfalz - GeoPortal.rlp (https://www.geoportal.rlp.de/) - wurde im Januar 2007 freigeschaltet und basiert vollständig auf Freier Open Source Software (FOSS). Die zugrundeliegende Architektur beruht - im Gegensatz zu vielen anderen GDI-Architekturen - auf dem Prinzip der Registrierung und Verwaltung von OGC-Diensten (OWS) in einer PostgreSQL-Datenbank. Aktuell beinhaltet das Informationsmodell in Rheinland-Pfalz mehr als 1.500 OWS und 18.000 Metadaten von ca. 220 verschiedenen Organisationen. Die verteilten Dienste sind mittels des im Portal umgesetzten OWS-Proxy über persistente URLs in diverse externe Verwaltungsprozesse und Applikationen eingebunden. Außerdem werden über den Proxy viele der Anforderungen der EU INSPIRE-Richtlinie zentral umgesetzt (INSPIRE ATOM Feeds, INSPIRE Service Metadaten, OGC API - Feature Proxy). Die Kernkomponente des Systems ist seit 2006 die OSGeo Software Mapbender. Die Bundesländer Hessen, Rheinland-Pfalz und Saarland haben sich dazu entschlossen, das Geoportal Framework unter Nutzung von FOSS-Komponenten grundlegend neu aufzusetzen. Das Informationsmodell bleibt dabei unter der Haube auf PostgreSQL weitgehend erhalten, zur Entwicklung des Systems wird auf das Web Application Framework Django gesetzt. Um das System modularer zu gestalten, werden Backend (Dienste- und Metadatenverwaltung) und Frontend (Kartenanwendung) getrennt betrachtet. Zum Austausch der Kartenkontexte wird in dabei auf OWS Context gesetzt – dies ermöglicht die Versorgung beliebiger GIS-Clients (Web und Desktop!) mit initialen "Projektkonfigurationen". Der erste Schritt erfolgte mit dem Relaunch im August 2019, in diesem Zusammenhang wurden das alte CMS (Typo3), sowie die Metadatensuche durch Django Module ersetzt. Im Beitrag wird das neue System vorgestellt und u. a. anhand konkreter Beispiele gezeigt, wie einfach man deutschland- und seit Oktober 2019 sogar europaweit nach Geodaten suchen und diese direkt nutzen kann.

description: We investigate the magnetic polarization of the Ir $5d$ dopant states in the pnictide superconductor Ba(Fe$_{1-x}$Ir$_x$)$_2$As$_2$ with $x=0.027(2)$ using Ir $L_3$ edge x-ray resonant magnetic scattering (XRMS). Despite the fact that doping partially suppresses the antiferromagnetic transition, we find that magnetic order survives around the Ir dopant sites. The Ir states are magnetically polarized with commensurate stripe-like antiferromagnetic order and long correlations lengths, $ξ_{\text{mag}}>$ 2800 and $>$850 Å, in the $ab$-plane and along the c-axis, respectively, driven by their interaction with the Fe spins. This Ir magnetic order persists up to the Néel transition of the majority Fe spins at $T_N=74(2)$ K. At 5 K we find that magnetic order co-exists microscopically with superconductivity in Ba(Fe$_{1-x}$Ir$_x$)$_2$As$_2$. The energy dependence of the XRMS through the Ir $L_3$ edge shows a non-Lorentzian lineshape, which we explain in terms of interference between Ir resonant scattering and Fe non-resonant magnetic scattering.

The analytical singlet $α_s^4$ QCD contributions into the $e^+e^-$-annihilation Adler function and the generalized Crewther relations

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: The generalized Crewther relations in the channels of the non-singlet and vector quark currents are considered. They follow from the double application of the operator product expansion approach to the same axial vector-vector-vector triangle amplitude in two regions, adjoining to the angle sides $(x,y)$ (or $p^2,q^2$). We assume that the generalized Crewther relations in these two kinematic regimes result in the existence of the same perturbation expression for two products of the coefficient functions of annihilation and deep-inelastic scattering processes in the non-singlet and vector channels. Taking into account the 4-th order result for $S_{GLS}$ and the perturbative effects of the violation of the conformal symmetry in the generalized Crewther relation, we obtain the analytical contribution to the singlet $α_s^4$ correction to the $D_A^{V}$-function. Its a-posteriori comparison with the recent result of direct diagram-by-diagram evaluation of the singlet 4-th order corrections to $D_A^{V}$- function demonstrates the coincidence of the predicted and obtained $ζ_3^2$-contributions to the singlet term. They can be obtained in the conformal invariant limit from the original Crewther relation. On the contrary to previous belief, the appearance of $zeta_3$-terms in perturbative series in gauge models does not contradict to the property of conformal symmetry and can be considered as ragular feature. The Banks-Zaks motivated relation between our predicted and obtained 4-th order corrections is mentioned. This confirms Baikov-Chetyrkin-Kuhn expectation that the generalized Crewther relation in the channel of vector currents receives additional singlet contribution, which in this order of perturbation theory is proportional to the first coefficient of the QCD $β$-function.

Patient 2 is a 55-year-old woman who presented with pronounced gait freezing. In both patients, features of HE and acquired hepatocerebral degeneration coexisted. They improved markedly, though transiently, with rifaximin. Discussion: Ammonia-reducing treatments should be considered in patients presenting with movement disorders due to chronic liver disease.

description: We consider the data-driven dictionary learning problem. The goal is to seek an over-complete dictionary from which every training signal can be best approximated by a linear combination of only a few codewords. This task is often achieved by iteratively executing two operations: sparse coding and dictionary update. In the literature, there are two benchmark mechanisms to update a dictionary. The first approach, such as the MOD algorithm, is characterized by searching for the optimal codewords while fixing the sparse coefficients. In the second approach, represented by the K-SVD method, one codeword and the related sparse coefficients are simultaneously updated while all other codewords and coefficients remain unchanged. We propose a novel framework that generalizes the aforementioned two methods. The unique feature of our approach is that one can update an arbitrary set of codewords and the corresponding sparse coefficients simultaneously: when sparse coefficients are fixed, the underlying optimization problem is similar to that in the MOD algorithm; when only one codeword is selected for update, it can be proved that the proposed algorithm is equivalent to the K-SVD method; and more importantly, our method allows us to update all codewords and all sparse coefficients simultaneously, hence the term simultaneous codeword optimization (SimCO). Under the proposed framework, we design two algorithms, namely, primitive and regularized SimCO. We implement these two algorithms based on a simple gradient descent mechanism. Simulations are provided to demonstrate the performance of the proposed algorithms, as compared with two baseline algorithms MOD and K-SVD. Results show that regularized SimCO is particularly appealing in terms of both learning performance and running speed.

description: Background: Myoclonus–dystonia usually presents variable combination of myoclonus and dystonia mainly affecting the neck and arms, but leg involvement, especially as the presenting sign, is not common. Case report: A 29-year-old lady with a heterozygous mutation in Epsilon-sarcoglycan (SGCE) gene is presented with rapid jerks of the right leg interfering with walking. She has also manifested dystonic posture and jerks of the trunk and proximal upper limbs. Discussion: Although it is not typical, leg involvement could be a manifestation of myoclonus–dystonia either at presentation or during disease progression.
Scalar Mesons in Holographic Walking Technicolor

description: We study the spectrum of scalar mesons in the holographic dual of walking technicolor, obtained by embedding D7 - anti-D7 probe branes in a certain type IIB background. The scalar mesons arise from fluctuations of the probe techniflavour branes and complement the (axial-)vector meson spectra that we investigated in earlier work. By explicitly finding the spectrum of scalar masses, we show that the nonsupersymmetric D7 - anti-D7 embedding is stable with respect to such fluctuations. Interestingly, it turns out that the mass splitting between the scalar and vector meson spectra is of subleading order in a small parameter expansion. It is noteworthy that this near-degeneracy may not be entirely due to a small amount of supersymmetry breaking and thus could indicate the presence of some other (approximate) symmetry in the problem.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.The yellowtail Seriola quinqueradiata is one of the most important, large-predatory fishes in Japanese waters. It is caught by set-net traditionally and the catch is largely affected by oceanographic conditions. Using the historical catch data of yellowtail and a sea surface temperature (SST) data set for the waters around Japan over the last century, the long-term variation patterns in the abundance and population structure of yellowtail and its relations with SST were examined. The potentiaol impact of global warming on yellow tail is also discussed.
Fighting from the fringes : the decision-making process of mothers using complementary and alternative medicine in autism.
Creators: name: Hodgson, Tara
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: In this study a theoretical model “Fighting from the Fringes” was developed to help elucidate the decision-making process of CAM selection by parents of children with autism. Represented in this conceptual model are the processes of searching for answers, looking for alternatives and making choices. The mothers’ disenfranchisement and marginalization from conventional healthcare, stigmatization from society and the stress and isolation experienced, all prove pivotal to the decision-making process of CAM use in autism. By examining the narratives of the mothers who participated in the study, and utilizing a grounded theory approach to analysis the data, this theoretical model emerged. This model allows for an understanding of the thought processes behind mothers’ decisions to use CAM for their children with autism, what also emerges is an understanding of how the use of CAM allows them to maintain their self-identify as “good mothers”. Recommendations of the study offer suggestions that address the much needed support and education to families face with caring for and making treatment decisions for their autistic child.

description: Americans spend billions of dollars in personal consumption expenditures each year. The percentage of FAH expenditures in the United States has been dwindling, while the percentage of FAFH expenditures has increased. Many factors might be causing this trend. Complex interactions of such factors determining the U.S. consumer’s intake of FAH and FAFH expenditures were studied using machine learning and Directed Acyclic Graphical approaches. Employment and education status are common causes of both FAH and FAFH expenditures. Body mass index, marital status, race and sex have mixed effects. Findings will be useful for policy makers to implement social support programs.

description: Background: Functional movement disorders (FMDs) have been rarely described in the elderly population. Methods: This is a retrospective chart review of elderly patients with FMDs (onset >60 years) attending the movement disorders clinic at a tertiary care teaching institute in India. Results: Out of 117 patients diagnosed with FMD at our center, 18 patients had an onset after the age of 60 years. The male-to-female ratio was 10:8 and the duration of symptoms ranged from 1 day to 5 years. Social (10/18) and physical factors (5/18) with an evident temporal relationship with the onset of FMD were identified in 15 out of 18 patients. Six of them had a past history of depression, anxiety, or other psychiatric illnesses. The tremor was the most frequent phenomenology seen in 11 (61.1%) patients, followed by dystonia in seven (38.8%), choreoballism and tics in two each, and hemifacial spasm and functional gait in one each. Seven patients had more than one phenotype. Discussion: Tremor was the most frequent movement disorder seen in our patients with FMD. Surprisingly, tics (n = 2) and choreoballistic (n = 2) movements were also found in our patients with FMD, which has not been reported previously in an elderly population. Both physical and social factors were identified preceding the development of FMDs in majority of our patients.

description: We introduce the sandpile model on multiplex networks with more than one type of edge and investigate its scaling and dynamical behaviors. We find that the introduction of multiplexity does not alter the scaling behavior of avalanche dynamics; the system is critical with an asymptotic power-law avalanche size distribution with an exponent $τ= 3/2$ on duplex random networks. The detailed cascade dynamics, however, is affected by the multiplex coupling. For example, higher-degree nodes such as hubs in scale-free networks fail more often in the multiplex dynamics than in the simplex network counterpart in which different types of edges are simply aggregated. Our results suggest that multiplex modeling would be necessary in order to gain a better understanding of cascading failure phenomena of real-world multiplex complex systems, such as the global economic crisis.

description: A successful utilization of deep geothermal resources requires accurate predictions about the distribution of reservoir temperature as well as of the hydraulic processes exerting a direct influence on the productivity of geothermal reservoirs. The aim of this study was to investigate and quantify the influence that regional thermo-hydraulic processes have on the geothermal configuration of potential reservoirs in the German Federal State of Hesse. Specifically, we have addressed the question of how the regional thermal and hydraulic configuration influence the local hydro-thermal reservoir conditions. Therefore, a 3D structural model of Hesse was used as a basis for purely hydraulic, purely thermal and coupled 3D thermo-hydraulic simulations of the deep fluid flow and heat transport. As a result of our numerical simulations, Hesse can be differentiated into sub-areas differing in terms of the dominating heat transport process. In a final attempt to quantify the robustness and reliability of the modelling results, the modelling outcomes were analyzed by comparing them to available subsurface temperature, hydraulic and hydrochemical data.
Spontaneous symmetry breaking in inflationary cosmology: on the fate of Goldstone Bosons

description: We argue that in an inflationary cosmology a consequence of the lack of time translational invariance is that spontaneous breaking of a continuous symmetry and Goldstone's theorem \emph{do not} imply the existence of \emph{massless} Goldstone modes. We study spontaneous symmetry breaking in an O(2) model, and implications for O(N) in de Sitter space time. The Goldstone mode acquires a radiatively generated mass as a consequence of infrared divergences, and the continuous symmetry is spontaneously broken for any finite $N$, however there is a \emph{first order phase transition} as a function of the Hawking temperature $T_H=H/2π$. For O(2) the symmetry is spontaneously broken for $T_H < T_c= λ^{1/4} v/2.419$ where $λ$ is the quartic coupling and $v$ is the tree level vacuum expectation value and the Goldstone mode acquires a radiatively generated mass $\mathcal{M}^2_π\propto λ^{1/4} H$. The first order nature of the transition is a consequence of the strong infrared behavior of minimally coupled scalar fields in de Sitter space time, the jump in the order parameter at $T_H=T_c$ is $σ_{0c} \simeq 0.61\, {H}/{λ^{1/4}}$. In the strict $N\rightarrow \infty$ the symmetry cannot be spontaneously broken. Furthermore, the lack of kinematic thresholds imply that the Goldstone modes \emph{decay} into Goldstone and Higgs modes by emission and absorption of superhorizon quanta.
