Prethermalization and Thermalization in Periodically-Driven Many-Body Systems away from the High-Frequency Limit
Creators: name: Fleckenstein, Christoph

Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)

description: We investigate a class of periodically driven many-body systems that allows us to extend the phenomenon of prethermalization to the vicinity of isolated intermediate-to-low drive frequencies away from the high-frequency limit. We provide numerical evidence for the formation of a parametrically long-lived prethermal plateau, captured by an effective Floquet Hamiltonian computed using the replica inverse-frequency expansion, and demonstrate its stability w.r.t.~random perturbations in the drive period. Considering exclusively nonintegrable Floquet Hamiltonians, we find that heating rates are non-universal: we observe Fermi's Golden Rule scaling, power-law scaling inconsistent with the Golden Rule, and non-power law scaling, depending on the drive. Despite the asymptotic character of the inverse-frequency expansion, we show that it describes the thermostatic properties of the state all along the evolution up to infinite temperature, with higher-order terms improving the accuracy. Our results suggest a dynamical mechanism to gradually increase temperature in isolated quantum simulators, such as ultracold atoms, and open up an alternative possibility to investigate thermal phase transitions and the interplay between thermal and quantum criticality using Floquet drives.

description: In accordance with the Code, ten actions are taken to preserve nomenclatural stability of names of taxa currently belonging to Mecinini. Following the provisions of ICZN Article 23.9.1, Cleopomiarus graminis (Gyllenhal, 1813) (formerly Rhynchaenus) is made a nomen protectum and Curculio ellipticus Herbst, 1795 is made a nomen oblitum; Rhinusa antirrhini (Paykull, 1800) (formerly Curculio) is made a nomen protectum and Curculio noctis herbst, 1795 is made a nomen oblitum; having met the conditions of ICZN article 75.3 the neotypes of the following taxa are designated: Curculio antirrhini Paykull, 1800, Curculio cinctus Rossi, 1790, Curculio curvirostris Rossi, 1790, Curculio linariae Panzer, 1792, Cionus thapsicola Germar, 1821, Mecinus collaris Germar, 1821. Lectotypes of Curculio ellipticus Herbst, 1795, Gymnetron eversmanni Rosenschöld, 1838, Mecinus barbarus Gyllenhal, 1838, and Mecinus longiusculus Boheman, 1845 are also designated. Rhinusa linariae (Panzer, 1792) (formerly Curculio) remains the valid name of the taxon since Curculio curvirostris Rossi, 1790 (non Fabricius, 1781 nec Herbst, 1784) is unavailable; Mecinus collaris Germar, 1821 remains the valid name of the taxon since Curculio cinctus Rossi, 1790 (non Drury, 1782 nec Geoffroy, 1785) is unavailable. The following new synonymies are proposed: Mecinus barbarus Gyllenhal, 1838 = Mecinus longiusculus Boheman, 1845 n. syn., = Mecinus teretiusculus Boheman, 1845 n. syn., = Mecinus filiformis Aubé, 1850 n. syn.; Rhinusa florum (Rübsaamen, 1895) = Gymnetron smreczynskii Fremuth, 1972 n. syn.; Rhinusa tetra (Fabricius, 1792) = Cionus thapsicola Germar, 1821 n. syn. Rhinusa eversmanni (Rosenschöld, 1838) is the name proposed for Rhinusa thapsicola sensu auctorum (non Germar, 1821).

description: By 1850, New South Wales (NSW) appeared to have entered a period of long term economic stability which was almost entirely dependent on the production of fine wool. The prospects of such a future vanished with the discovery of large quantities of alluvial gold in 1851. The population of the colony almost doubled, increasing from 179,000 in 1851 to 351,000 in 1861 (Vamplew 1987, p. 26).

description: We study uncertainties of the predicted inclusive Higgs production cross section due to the uncertainties of parton distribution functions (PDF). Particular attention is given to bbH Yukawa coupling enhanced production mechanisms in beyond SM scenarios, such as MSSM. The PDF uncertainties are determined by the robust Lagrange Multiplier method within the CTEQ global analysis framework. We show that PDF uncertainties dominate over theoretical uncertainties of the perturbative calculation (usually estimated by the scale dependence of the calculated cross sections), except for low Higgs masses at LHC. Thus for the proper interpretation of any Higgs signal, and for better understanding of the underlying electroweak symmetry breaking mechanism, it is important to gain better control of the uncertainties of the PDFs.

description: Understanding the mechanisms underlying general anesthesia would be a key step towards understanding consciousness. The process of xenon-induced general anesthesia has been shown to involve electron transfer, and the potency of xenon as a general anesthetic exhibits isotopic dependence. We propose that these observations can be explained by a mechanism in which the xenon nuclear spin influences the recombination dynamics of a naturally occurring radical pair of electrons. We develop a simple model inspired by the body of work on the radical-pair mechanism in cryptochrome in the context of avian magnetoreception, and we show that our model can reproduce the observed isotopic dependence of the general anesthetic potency of xenon in mice. Our results are consistent with the idea that radical pairs of electrons with entangled spins could be important for consciousness.

Epidemiology of Fusarium fruit and stem rot of greenhouse grown sweet pepper
Creators: name: Smudja, Mirej
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Spore monitoring, using Burkard Continuous Recording Air Samplers, in Lower Mainland commercial pepper crops during three different growing seasons strongly suggests that ascospores of Nectria haematococca are both the primary and secondary inoculum. Fusarium solani spores were seldom detected and apparently play a minor role, if any, in the spread of Fusarium fruit and stem rot. No ascospores could be detected in monitored greenhouses upon completion of the end-of-season cleanup procedures indicating that detectable spore inoculum was not being carried over from one growing season to the next in commercial greenhouses. In "clean" greenhouses, which obtained seedlings produced by one propagator, high ascospore levels were detected with the introduction of the new crop. No symptoms were observed on the new seedling plants but perithecia of N. haematococca were observed on the surface of the rockwool cubes in which the seedlings were growing. Spores trapped from these perithecia were pathogenic to pepper seedlings and caused typical fruit rot in pathogenicity tests. Thus, rockwool cubes contaminated during propagation are one way of introducing the fungus into "clean" commercial greenhouses. Under controlled conditions of temperature and relative humidity (RH) ascospore discharge from moistened diseased fruit tissues was not inhibited by RH as low as 51% (the lowest tested). Ascospore discharge from air-dried diseased fruit tissue occurred only at RH >95%. Temperatures in the range of 15 to 30°C were not inhibitory for ascospore discharge, however, maximum discharge occurred at the lowest temperature tested (15°C). Ascospores discharged onto glass slides maintained at 55-60% RH (typical RH observed during the cleanup) survived from 6 to 18 days, depending upon temperature. Under "typical" greenhouse conditions ascospores remained viable on glass slides for up to 12 days. Ascospore germination occurred at all temperatures tested (15-30°C), but germination was greater and occurred more quickly at higher temperatures. Substantial ascospore germination occurred only during prolonged periods (8-12 h) of very high (>98%) relative humidity. Therefore, although perithecia of N. haematococca maybe present on the cubes from the early stage of the growing cycle, losses due to Fusarium fruit and stem rot will depend on the greenhouse climate management. Ascospore discharge from the rockwool cubes, which are constantly saturated with nutrient solution, can occur independent of ambient RH. Therefore, aggressive climate management, which avoids extended periods of high RH, apparently reduces disease by preventing ascospore germination rather then preventing ascospore discharge.

description: Abstract

Sickle cell disease is prevalent in many parts of the world, with around 20–25 million people being affected by it. The first case in India was found in the South in 1952, in the Nilgiri Hills. The clinical manifestations of sickle cell anemia are due to the vascular-occlusive crisis. Repeated infarction of the spleen can lead to splenic atrophy followed by grdaully progressive autosplenectomy. In this case report we describe the imaging features of autosplenectomy in a case of sickle cell anemia, which has been infrequently described in the literature.

description: The United States (U.S.) government recently finished its five year ritual of farm legislation. In general, the 1990 Farm Bill, or the Food, Agriculture, Conservation and Trade Act of 1990, extends most of the program features of its predecessor, the Food Security Act of 1985 (FSA). The recent bill continues a 57 year old tradition represented by loan rates, target prices, deficiency payments, base acres and yields, quotas, production controls, marketing loans, and other devices which support prices and income in return for retiring acres. However, the bill introduces several features that move it incrementally in the direction of "decoupling", and continues the trend set in 1985 of adding new environmental restrictions on farm practices. The recently passed Farm Bill was shaped by four forces; these forces will continue to shape U.S. farm policy throughout the 1990s. First, the rising budget deficit compelled Congressional agriculture committee members to decrease the cost of their programs. Second, a call for more open agricultural markets by the Bush Administration coupled with the budget constraint made smaller and more flexible crop acreage bases the most attractive way to achieve incremental decoupling. Third, recent scares of pesticides and agricultural chemicals on or in food and groundwater have led to rising concerns over the impact of agriculture on the environment. Fourth, the Uruguay Round of trade negotiations was an important consideration in drafting the first farm bill of the 1990s.

description: Galaxy imaging surveys provide us with information on both the galaxy distribution and their shapes. In this paper, we systematically investigate the sensitivity of galaxy shapes to new physics in the initial conditions. For this purpose, we decompose the galaxy shape function into spin components, and compute the contributions to each spin component from both intrinsic alignment and weak lensing. We then consider the angular-dependent primordial non-Gaussianity, which is generated by a non-zero integer spin particle when active during inflation, and show that a galaxy imaging survey essentially functions as a spin-sensitive detector of such particles in the early universe. We also perform a forecast of the PNG generated from a higher spin particle, considering a Rubin Observatory LSST-like galaxy survey.

description: We use the statistical power of the MaNGA integral-field spectroscopic galaxy survey to improve the definition of strong line diagnostic boundaries used to classify gas ionization properties in galaxies. We detect line emission from 3.6 million spaxels distributed across 7400 individual galaxies spanning a wide range of stellar masses, star formation rates, and morphological types, and find that the gas-phase velocity dispersion sigma_HAlpha correlates strongly with traditional optical emission line ratios such as [S II]/HAlpha, [N II]/HAlpha, [O I]/HAlpha, and [O III]/HBeta. Spaxels whose line ratios are most consistent with ionization by galactic HII regions exhibit a narrow range of dynamically cold line of sight velocity distributions (LOSVDs) peaked around 25 km/s corresponding to a galactic thin disk, while those consistent with ionization by active galactic nuclei (AGN) and low-ionization emission-line regions (LI(N)ERs) have significantly broader LOSVDs extending to 200 km/s. Star-forming, AGN, and LI(N)ER regions are additionally well separated from each other in terms of their stellar velocity dispersion, stellar population age, HAlpha equivalent width, and typical radius within a given galaxy. We use our observations to revise the traditional emission line diagnostic classifications so that they reliably identify distinct dynamical samples both in two-dimensional representations of the diagnostic line ratio space and in a multi-dimensional space that accounts for the complex folding of the star forming model surface. By comparing the MaNGA observations to the SDSS single-fiber galaxy sample we note that the latter is systematically biased against young, low metallicity star-forming regions that lie outside of the 3 arcsec fiber footprint.

Fig. 5A–E
Type material: 6 aboral cups (holotype OPH207, 1 figured paratype OPH208, 4 paratypes OPH209 not figured).
Etymology: from sediment off the island of Rodrigues, western Rodrigues Ridge.
Diagnosis: species with aboral cup regularly inverted conical of height usually slightly greater than diameter (Hc/Dc 1.03 to 1.31), diameter lesser than 0.75 mm, basals slightly higher than radials and ratio central adoral depression to radial ring diameter 0.47 to 0.55. Arm and stalk unknown.
Type locality: Mascarene Plateau, western Rodrigues Ridge, Indian Ocean.
Description of the type series: Aboral cup height (Hc) up to 0.80 mm and diameter (Dc) up to 0.72 mm, ratio Hc/Dc varying from 1.03 to 1.31 independently to growth (Table 5), ratio adoral to maximum diameter (Dp/ Dc) 0.30–0.35. Like the holotype, all cups inverted conical, basals indistinct (Fig. 5D) sometimes underlined by discreet sutures (Fig. 5A), basals slightly higher than radials, coarse interradial adoral ribs separating oval muscular synarthries (Fig. 5E). Central depression of adoral face without basal plug, hemispherical in holotype (Fig. 5C) to more flared like in paratype 1 (Fig. 5B); ratio central depression to radial ring diameter 0.47 in holotype and 0.55 in paratype 1.
Remarks: According to Roux et al. (2019), the presence of coarse interradial ribs developed up to the outer edge of adoral face excludes that these small cups are juveniles of Cherbonniericrinus pliocenicus n. sp. described above. Paraconocrinus was identified from the Eocene and the Early Miocene of southern France and northeastern Italy (Merle & Roux 2018; Roux et al. 2019; Roux & Philippe 2021). The material described herein extends its stratigraphical distribution to the Pliocene. The genus remains unknown in extant fauna.
Occurrence: Indian Ocean, western Rodrigues Ridge at a depth of 1460 m (biotope possibly shallower).

description: Land in Manilla Shire, New South Wales, is characterised by serious soil erosion and land use is characterised by high rates of adoption of the recommended soil conservation measures. This behaviour is analysed to attempt to determine what factors are promoting soil conservation at each stage in the adoption process. The results suggest that policies to promote farmer perception of erosion problems should be formulated differently from those to promote actual adoption of the recommended measures. Perception of the problem depends mainly on the percentage of farm area that is eroded, but the likelihood of adoption depends mainly on the intensity of the erosion. The farmer's rating as an investor, the size and security of farm income, and the presence of institutional programmes are all significant factors which encourage adoption. While the stewardship motivation and personal factors encourage perception and recognition of a problem, economic factors promote actual adoption.

description: We present astrometric and photometric measurements of the field binary L1 dwarf DENIS-P J1441-0945. Analysis of archival HST images and photometric parallax measurements give a distance of 34+/-7 pc and a proper motion close to that of the nearby high proper motion star G124-62. Comparison of SuperCOSMOS and 2MASS images confirms that these objects form a common proper motion pair, while spectroscopy of G124-62 shows it to be a dM4.5e star. The kinematics show that this system is a member of the Hyades supercluster. The resulting age constraints for the system are 500--800 Myr and the mass of each component of DENIS-P J1441-0945 is 0.072 (+0.010/-0.018) M_sun.

We implement the mixed-dimensional two-orbital system using a near-resonant and magic-wavelength optical lattices, where the $^1\mathrm{S}_0$ and $^3\mathrm{P}_0$ atoms are itinerant in a one-dimensional tube and localized in three dimensions, respectively. By exploiting an optical Stern-Gerlach method, we observe the spin depolarization of the $^1\mathrm{S}_0$ atoms induced by the spin-exchange interaction with the $^3\mathrm{P}_0$ atom. Our work could open the way to the quantum simulation of the Kondo effect.

description: It is shown that parameter estimates in a regression with a logarithmic time trend are not invariant to the choice of the starting point of that time trend. Possible solutions to this problem are discussed and applied to data from a recent article in this Review where a logarithmic time trend was included. It is suggested that the appropriate course is either to estimate the starting date directly or to adopt a functional form invariant to the choice of starting date.

description: Stabilization schemes for the Australian wheat industry, or marketing schemes as they are now called, first came into existence in 1914 when the Commonwealth Government exercised powers under the War Precautions Act and set up an Australian Wheat Board to acquire the crop, fix purchase prices, allocate shipping and make advance payments to growers on delivery of wheat. This first scheme was replaced by voluntary co-operatives and private trading between the two World Wars. A new Australian Wheat Board was set up again in 1939. The experience from compulsory pools during the two World Wars, incorporating the payment of fixed prices, help growers appreciate some of the advantages of centralised marketing and encouraged them to seek a compulsory national marketing scheme after the Second World War. Growers did not want a return to the depressed conditions of the 1930's and perceived that the Australian Wheat Board would protect them from the vagaries of the international market. Thus, in 1948, national marketing schemes for wheat became a permanent feature of Australian rural policy with the commencement of the first Stabilization Plan covering the five-year period 1948/49 to 1952/53. Currently, we are in the 7th Plan, with an 8th Stabilization Scheme to commence in 1984/85, if, as I expect, Federal Parliament endorses a new scheme.

description: In a previous paper, we introduced a heterotic standard model and discussed its basic properties. This vacuum has the spectrum of the MSSM with one additional pair of Higgs-Higgs conjugate fields and a small number of uncharged moduli. In this paper, the requisite vector bundles are formulated; specifically, stable, holomorphic bundles with structure group SU(N) on smooth Calabi-Yau threefolds with Z_3 x Z_3 fundamental group. A method for computing bundle cohomology is presented and used to evaluate the cohomology groups of the standard model bundles. It is shown how to determine the Z_3 x Z_3 action on these groups. Finally, using an explicit method of "doublet-triplet splitting", the low-energy particle spectrum is computed.

Subjects: Crop Production/Industries

description: In many respects, the Australian wheat industry is unusual. It is extensively regulated in all its activities beyond the farm-gate, yet the overall effect of Government regulation since 1948 has been to reduce the incomes of wheatgrowers (Longworth and Knopke 1982). The partial equilibrium analysis on which this conclusion rests is based on comparisons of observed wheat prices with an "otherwise" free market with wheatgrowers receiving world prices for their output. Essentially, the losses have occurred because the domestic price has often been below the world price, especially at times of high world prices. Although all producers have shared in the attendant income transfers according to their proportionate contribution to output, the incidence of losses brought about by distorted price relationships is more complex as it depends upon regional and farm-specific comparative advantages in wheat production. Wheatgrowers who can adjust production more easily between wheat, other grains and livestock products suffer less than those with production plans that are less responsive to changes in relative prices. Moreover, because of variations in yields, there have been random effects on farm incomes occasioned by intervention in prices. A detailed study of the systematic influences of regulation on the distribution of income within the wheat industry might go part of the way towards explaining some of the interstate, size-related and other conflicts that exist within wheatgrowing organizations but that is beyond the scope of this paper.

description: We devise an inverse statistical-mechanical methodology to find optimized interaction potentials that lead spontaneously to a target many-particle configuration. Target structures can possess varying degrees of disorder, thus extending the traditional idea of self-assembly to incorporate both amorphous and crystalline structures as well as quasicrystals. For illustration purposes, our computational technique is applied to yield an optimized isotropic (non-directional) pair potential that spontaneously yields the three-coordinated honeycomb lattice as the ground state structure in two dimensions. This target choice is motivated by its three-dimensional analog, the diamond lattice, which is known to possess desirable photonic bandgap properties.

Year: 2007

description: Chrysodema danterina n. sp. from Mindoro, Philippines, is described and illustrated. Comparative remarks are made with the widely distributed Chrysodema smaragdu­la (Olivier, 1790) that, despite a very different general look, shows several similar characters. The new species, whose female is unknown, is immediately recognizable from any other in the genus for the proportions of the body, the completely black colour and the shape and the exceptional size of male genitalia.

description: We discuss an enhancement of the Brown-Henneaux boundary conditions in three-dimensional AdS General Relativity to encompass Weyl transformations of the boundary metric. The resulting asymptotic symmetry algebra, after a field-dependent redefinition of the generators, is a direct sum of two copies of the Witt algebra and the Weyl abelian sector. The charges associated to Weyl transformations are non-vanishing, integrable but not conserved due to a flux driven by the Weyl anomaly coefficient. The charge algebra admits an additional non-trivial central extension in the Weyl sector, related to the well-known Weyl anomaly. We then construct the holographic Weyl current and show that it satisfies an anomalous Ward-Takahashi identity of the boundary theory.

description: We provide a check of the accuracy of the auxiliary field formalism used to derive the Effective Hamiltonian for baryons in the Field Correlator Method. To this end we compare the solutions for the Effective Hamiltonian with those obtained from the solution of the Salpeter equation. Comparing these results gives a first estimate of the systematic uncertainty due to the use of the auxiliary field formalism for baryons.

description: Results of a molecular analysis on the European hermit beetles (the Osmoderma eremita species-complex), recently published in a companion paper, are shortly dis- cussed and commented. These results indicate a clear-cut distinction between two clades. The first one includes the W-European O. eremita Scopoli, 1763, and the two Italian endemic taxa O. italicum Sparacio, 2000 and O. cristinae Sparacio, 1994, from southern peninsular Italy and Sicily, respectively. The second one includes the widespread E-European O. barnabita Motschulsky, 1845 (nom. resurr.), and the southern Balcanic O. lassallei Baraud & Tauzin, 1991 from Greece and European Turkey. Within the two clades, molecular data well support a specific rank for O. lassallei and O. barn­abita on one side, and of O. eremita and O. cristinae on the other side, while the taxonomic position of O. italicum, more closely related with O. eremita, is still uncertain, waiting for analysis of additional specimens of this very rare taxon. Current geographical distribution, interspecific genetic diversification, and relatively low levels of intraspecific genetic divergence in O. eremita sensu stricto, are hypothesized to be the result of multiple speciation events (mainly occurred in refugial forest areas of the Italian and Balkan peninsulas and Sicily before and during the Pleistocene glacial peaks), followed by fast post-glacial northward and westward expansion of some species. The need of further genetic data on the rare and threatened hermit beetle species and the importance of more detailed information on their distribution ranges are emphasized and discussed, in order to plan conservation strategies in the near future. An updated worldwide checklist of the species of the genus Osmoderma is finally presented.

Quark-hadron crossover equations of state for neutron stars: constraining the chiral invariant mass in a parity doublet model

description: We construct an equation of state (EOS) for neutron stars by interpolating hadronic EOS at low density and quark EOS at high density. A hadronic model based on the parity doublet structure is used for hadronic matter and a quark model of Nambu--Jona-Lasinio type is for quark matter. We assume crossover between hadronic matter and quark matter in the the color-flavor locked phase. The nucleon mass of the parity doublet model has a mass associated with the chiral symmetry breaking, and a chiral invariant mass $m_0$ which is insensitive to the chiral condensate. The value of $m_0$ affects the nuclear EOSs at low density, and has strong correlations with the radii of neutron stars. Using the constraint to the radius obtained by LIGO-Virgo and NICER, we find that $m_0$ is restricted as $600\,\mathrm{MeV}\lesssim m_0 \lesssim 900\,\mathrm{MeV}$.

description: The dual Meissner effect is described and numerically observed in a gauge-invariant way in lattice Monte-Carlo simulations of pure SU(2) QCD. A gauge-invariant monopole-like quantity on the lattice is defined by a gauge-invariant Abelian-like field strength. The Abelian-like field strength is expressed in terms of a unit-vector in color space which is constructed by a non-Abelian field strength itself. It is just equal to the absolute value of the corresponding non-Abelian field strength except for the sign. In this note we show the theoretical background and most numerical results will be published in a separate report \cite{Suzuki:2005lat052} in this conference.

description: Electron-electron interactions are intrinsically long ranged, but many models of strongly interacting electrons only take short-ranged interactions into account. Here, we present results of atomistic calculations including both long-ranged and short-ranged electron-electron interactions for the magnetic phase diagram of twisted bilayer graphene and demonstrate that qualitatively different results are obtained when long-ranged interactions are neglected. In particular, we use Hartree theory augmented with Hubbard interactions and calculate the interacting spin susceptibility at a range of doping levels and twist angles near the magic angle to identify the dominant magnetic instabilities. At the magic angle, mostly anti-ferromagnetic order is found, while ferromagnetism dominates at other twist angles. Moreover, long-ranged interactions significantly increase the twist angle window in which strong correlation phenomena can be expected. These findings are in good agreement with available experimental data.

THE GENUS THORECTES MULSANT, 1842: A RECTIFICATION REGARDING ITS TYPE SPECIES AND SOME CONSIDERATIONS ABOUT ITS TAXONOMY (COLEOPTERA, GEOTRUPIDAE)
Creators: name: Branco, Tristão

Publisher: name: Fragmenta Entomologica

description: A rectification is made to the authors’ previous statement about the reason why Scarabaeus laevigatus sensu Mulsant, 1842 (= Scarabaeus intermedius O.G. Costa, 1839) is the validly designated type species of Thorectes Mulsant, 1842. The history of the taxonomy of Thorectes Mulsant, 1842 is briefly reviewed, and reasons are adduced why the authors believe that the split of the genus, beyond eventually the recognition of two or perhaps three subgenera, is neither necessary nor desirable.
