description: Trachymela sloanei (Blackburn)
 NEW STATE RECORD
 Trachymela sloanei was first discovered in 2011 on Eucalyptus camaldulensis trees exhibiting peculiar notches along leaf edges, characteristic of caterpillar feeding. A closer inspection of the red gum trees revealed numerous larvae and two adult chrysomelids under the tree bark. Species identification was confirmed by Alexander Konstantinov at USDA-ARS-SEL in December, 2011.
 This native to Australia ferociously invaded New Zealand in 1976 (Brockerhoff and Bain 2000), defoliating eucalyptus trees throughout the country. In 1998, it was detected in California, the first record of this species in the U.S. This species is known to be intercepted at Honolulu ports of entry on shipments of cut myrtle. This discovery of T. sloanei in Waimanalo represented the first records of the Australian tortoise beetle in Hawaii. In May 2013, T. sloanei was collected from red gum trees at Kapalua, Maui, a new island record.
 Trachymela sloanei adults and larvae are nocturnal, feeding at night on the leaves, and hiding under the tree bark during the day. They sometimes hide high up in the trees and it is common to see the feeding damage but not find the culprits. The adult is 6-7 mm long, entirely brown with darker mottled spots and can be mistaken for a ladybug. Eggs are laid under the bark or on the leaves. T. sloanei is reported to feed on a variety of Eucalyptus species, but in Hawaii it has only been confirmed feeding on E. camaldulensis thus far.

description: In an interferometer, path information and interference visibility are incompatible quantities. Complete determination of the path will exclude any possibility of interference, rendering the visibility zero. However, if the composite object and probe state is pure, it is, under certain conditions, possible to trade the path information for improved (conditioned) visibility. Such a procedure is called quantum erasure. We have performed such experiments with polarization entangled photon pairs. Using a partial polarizer we could vary the degree of entanglement between object and probe. We could also vary the interferometer splitting ratio and thereby vary the a priori path predictability. We have tested quantum erasure under a number of different experimental conditions and found good agreement between experiments and theory.

description: Self-phoretic Janus particles move by inducing -- via non-equilibrium chemical reactions occurring on their surfaces -- changes in the chemical composition of the solution in which they are immersed. This process leads to gradients in chemical composition along the surface of the particle, as well as along any nearby boundaries, including solid walls. Chemical gradients along a wall can give rise to chemi-osmosis, i.e., the gradients drive surface flows which, in turn, drive flow in the volume of the solution. This bulk flow couples back to the particle, and thus contributes to its self-motility. Since chemi-osmosis strongly depends on the molecular interactions between the diffusing molecular species and the wall, the response flow induced and experienced by a particle encodes information about any chemical patterning of the wall. Here, we extend previous studies on self-phoresis of a sphere near a chemically patterned wall to the case of particles with elongated shape. We focus our analysis on the new phenomenology potentially emerging from the coupling -- which is inoperative for a spherical shape -- of the elongated particle to the strain rate tensor of the chemi-osmotic flow. Via numerical calculations, we show that the dynamics of a rod-like particle exhibits a novel "edge-following" steady state: the particle translates along the edge of a chemical step at a steady distance from the step and with a steady orientation. Within a certain range of system parameters, the edge-following state co-exists with a "docking" state (the particle stops at the step, oriented perpendicular to the step edge), i.e., a bistable dynamics occurs. These findings are rationalized as a consequence of the competition between fluid vorticity and the rate of strain by using analytical theory based on the point-particle approximation which captures quasi-quantitatively the dynamics of the system.

description: This paper investigates the application of fast-convolution (FC) filtering schemes for flexible and effective waveform generation and processing in the fifth generation (5G) systems. FC-based filtering is presented as a generic multimode waveform processing engine while, following the progress of 5G new radio standardization in the Third-Generation Partnership Project, the main focus is on efficient generation and processing of subband-filtered cyclic prefix orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (CP-OFDM) signals. First, a matrix model for analyzing FC filter processing responses is presented and used for designing optimized multiplexing of filtered groups of CP-OFDM physical resource blocks (PRBs) in a spectrally well-localized manner, i.e., with narrow guardbands. Subband filtering is able to suppress interference leakage between adjacent subbands, thus supporting independent waveform parametrization and different numerologies for different groups of PRBs, as well as asynchronous multiuser operation in uplink. These are central ingredients in the 5G waveform developments, particularly at sub-6-GHz bands. The FC filter optimization criterion is passband error vector magnitude minimization subject to a given subband band-limitation constraint. Optimized designs with different guardband widths, PRB group sizes, and essential design parameters are compared in terms of interference levels and implementation complexity. Finally, extensive coded 5G radio link simulation results are presented to compare the proposed approach with other subband-filtered CP-OFDM schemes and time-domain windowing methods, considering cases with different numerologies or asynchronous transmissions in adjacent subbands. Also the feasibility of using independent transmitter and receiver processing for CP-OFDM spectrum control is demonstrated.

description: We present results from an extensive survey of molecular gas in nearby dwarf galaxies. This survey consists of a single-dish search for CO emission at the UASO Kitt Peak 12m telescope and interferometric follow-up using the Berkeley-Illinois-Maryland Array. We have detected 41 new sources, approximately doubling the number of detections of such objects in the literature. In this paper we discuss two results from the survey that lead us to agree with recent suggestions that, above a metallicity of 12+log[O/H]~8.0, there appears to be little variation in the CO-to-H2 conversion factor for star-forming molecular gas. We find two major pieces of evidence for this result: 1) the virial mass to molecular mass ratio found from the interferometer observations in a variety of sources shows no clear trend with metallicity; and 2) dwarf galaxies appear to exhibit a CO-to-radio continuum relationship that is similar to that observed in larger, presumably metal-rich, galaxies leaving little room for a large systematic variation of the CO-to-H2 conversion factor with metallicity in the star-forming gas.

description: We study the possibility of a Dark Matter candidate having its origin in an extended Higgs sector which, at least partially, is related to a new strongly interacting sector. More concretely, we consider an i2HDM (i.e. a Type-I Two Higgs Doublet Model supplemented with a Z_2 under which the non-standard scalar doublet is odd) based on the gauge group SU(2)_1 x SU(2)_2 x U(1)_Y. We assume that one of the scalar doublets and the standard fermion transform non-trivially under SU(2)_1 while the second doublet transforms under SU(2)_2. Our main hypothesis is that standard sector is weakly coupled while the gauge interactions associated to the second group is characterized by a large coupling constant. We explore the consequences of this construction for the phenomenology of the Dark Matter candidate and we show that the presence of the new vector resonance reduces the relic density saturation region, compared to the usual i2DHM, in the high Dark Matter mass range. In the collider side, we argue that the mono-Z production is the channel which offers the best chances to manifest the presence of the new vector field. We study the departures from the usual i2HDM predictions and show that the discovery of the heavy vector at the LHC is challenging even in the mono-$Z$ channel since the typical cross sections are of the order of 10^{-2} fb.

description: We study static, spherically symmetric, Skyrme black holes in the context of the assumption that they can be viewed as bound states between ordinary bare black holes and solitons. This assumption and results stemming from the isolated horizons formalism lead to several conjectures about the static black hole solutions. These conjectures are tested against the Skyrme black hole solutions. It is shown that, while there is in general good agreement with the conjectures, a crucial aspect seems to violate one of the conjectures.

Pump induced lasing suppression in Yb:Er-doped microlasers

description: A pump source is one of the essential prerequisites in order to achieve lasing, and, in most cases, a stronger pump leads to higher laser power at the output. However, this behavior may be suppressed if two pump beams are used. In this work, it is shown that lasing around the 1600 nm band can be suppressed completely if two pumps, at wavelengths of 980 nm and 1550 nm, are applied simultaneously to a Yb:Er-doped microlaser, whereas it can be revived by switching one of them off. This phenomenon can be explained by assuming that the existence of one pump (980 nm) changes the role of the other pump (1550 nm); more specifically, the 1550 nm pump starts to consume the population inversion instead of increasing it when the 980 nm pump power exceeds a certain value. As a result, the two pump fields lead to a closed-loop transition within the gain medium (i.e., erbium ions). This study unveils an interplay similar with coherence effects between different pump pathways, which provides a reference for designing the laser pump and may have applications in lasing control.

Quantum and Classical Dynamics of Heavy Quarks in a Quark-Gluon Plasma

description: We derive equations for the time evolution of the reduced density matrix of a collection of heavy quarks and antiquarks immersed in a quark gluon plasma. These equations, in their original form, rely on two approximations: the weak coupling between the heavy quarks and the plasma, the fast response of the plasma to the perturbation caused by the heavy quarks. An additional semi-classical approximation is performed. This allows us to recover results previously obtained for the abelian plasma using the influence functional formalism. In the case of QCD, specific features of the color dynamics make the implementation of the semi-classical approximation more involved. We explore two approximate strategies to solve numerically the resulting equations in the case of a quark-antiquark pair. One involves Langevin equations with additional random color forces, the other treats the transition between the singlet and octet color configurations as collisions in a Boltzmann equation which can be solved with Monte Carlo techniques.

Baryon asymmetry generation in the E6CHM

Year: 2017

description: In the E6 inspired composite Higgs model (E6CHM) the strongly interacting sector possesses an SU(6) global symmetry which is expected to be broken down to its SU(5) subgroup at the scale f > 10 TeV. This breakdown results in a set of pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone bosons (pNGBs) that includes one Standard Model (SM) singlet scalar, a SM-like Higgs doublet and an SU(3)_C triplet of scalar fields, T. In the E6CHM the Z^L_{2} symmetry, which is a discrete subgroup of the U(1)_L associated with lepton number conservation, can be used to forbid operators which lead to rapid proton decay. The remaining baryon number violating operators are sufficiently strongly suppressed because of the large value of the scale f. We argue that in this variant of the E6CHM a sizeable baryon number asymmetry can be induced if CP is violated. At the same time, the presence of the SU(3)_C scalar triplet with mass in the few TeV range may give rise to spectacular new physics signals that may be detected at the LHC in the near future.

description: Single-site measurement in a distributed macroscopic antiferromagnet is considered; we show that it can create antiferromagnetic sublattices at macroscopic scale. We demonstrate that the result of measurement depends on the symmetry of the ground state: for the easy-axis case the Neel state is formed, while for the easy-plane case unusual ``fan'' sublattices appear with unbroken rotational symmetry, and a decoherence wave is generated. For the latter case, a macroscopically large number of measurements is needed to pin down the orientation of the sublattices, in spite of the high degeneracy of the ground state. We note that the type of the final state and the appearance of the decoherence wave are governed by the degree of entanglement of spins in the system.

description: We develop a theory of the quasiparticle interference (QPI) in multiband superconductors based on strong-coupling Eliashberg approach within the Born approximation. In the framework of this theory, we study dependencies of the QPI response function in the multiband superconductors with nodeless s-wave superconductive order parameter. We pay a special attention to the difference of the quasiparticle scattering between the bands having the same and opposite signs of the order parameter. We show that, at the momentum values close to the momentum transfer between two bands, the energy dependence of the quasiparticle interference response function has three singularities. Two of these correspond to the values of the gap functions and the third one depends on both the gaps and the transfer momentum. We argue that only the singularity near the smallest band gap may be used as an universal tool to distinguish between $s_{++}$ and $s_{\pm}$ order parameters. The robustness of the sign of the response function peak near the smaller gap value, irrespective of the change in parameters, in both the symmetry cases is a promising feature that can be harnessed experimentally.

description: We present a model for the distribution of void sizes and its evolution in the context of hierarchical scenarios of gravitational structure formation. We find that at any cosmic epoch the voids have a size distribution which is well-peaked about a characteristic void size which evolves self-similarly in time. This is in distinct contrast to the distribution of virialized halo masses which does not have a small-scale cut-off. In our model, the fate of voids is ruled by two processes. The first process affects those voids which are embedded in larger underdense regions: the evolution is effectively one in which a larger void is made up by the mergers of smaller voids, and is analogous to how massive clusters form from the mergers of less massive progenitors. The second process is unique to voids, and occurs to voids which happen to be embedded within a larger scale overdensity: these voids get squeezed out of existence as the overdensity collapses around them. It is this second process which produces the cut-off at small scales. In the excursion set formulation of cluster abundance and evolution, solution of the cloud-in-cloud problem, i.e., counting as clusters only those objects which are not embedded in larger clusters, requires study of random walks crossing one barrier. We show that a similar formulation of void evolution requires study of a two-barrier problem: one barrier is required to account for voids-in-voids, and the other for voids-in-clouds. Thus, in our model, the void size distribution is a function of two parameters, one of which reflects the dynamics of void formation, and the other the formation of collapsed objects.

description: We present results for the invariant and helicity amplitudes in the transitions $Λ_b\toΛ^{(\ast)}(J^P)+J/ψ$ where the $Λ^{(\ast)}(J^P)$ are $Λ(sud)$-type ground and excited states with $J^P$ quantum numbers $J^P=\frac12^{\pm},\frac32^{\pm}$. The calculations are performed in the framework of a covariant confined quark model. This analysis is important for the identification of the hidden charm pentaquark states $P_c^+(4380)$ and $P_c^+(4450)$ which were discovered by the LHCb Coll. We also discuss the possible New Physics effects in the exclusive decays $\bar{B}^0 \to D^{(\ast)} τ^- \barν_τ$. We extend the Standard Model by taking into account right-handed vector (axial), left- and right-handed (pseudo)scalar, and tensor current contributions. The $\bar{B}^0 \to D^{(\ast)}$ transition form factors are calculated in the full kinematic $q^2$ range by employing a covariant quark model.

description: ABSTRACT: Inverted colloidal-nanocrystal-based LEDs (NC?LEDs) are highly interesting and invaluable for large-scale display technology and flexible electronics. Semiconductor nanorods (NRs), in addition to the tunable wavelengths of the emitted light (achieved, for example, by the variation of the NR diameter or the diameter of core in a core−shell configuration), also exhibit linearly polarized emission, a larger Stokes shift, faster radiative decay, and slower bleaching kinetics than quantum dots (QDs). Despite these advantages, it is difficult to achieve void-free active NR layers using simple spin-coating techniques. Herein, we employ electrophoretic deposition (EPD) to make closely packed, vertically aligned CdSe/ CdS core/shell nanorods (NRs) as the emissive layer. Following an inverted architecture, the device fabricated yields an external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 6.3% and a maximum luminance of 4320 cd/m2 at 11 V. This good performance can be attributed to the vertically aligned NR layer, enhancing the charge transport by reducing the resistance of carrier passage, which is supported by our finite element simulations. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time vertically aligned NR layers made by EPD have been reported for the fabrication of NC-LEDs and the device performance is one of the best for inverted red NR-LEDs. The findings presented in this work bring forth a simple and effective technique for making vertically aligned NRs, and the mechanism behind the NR-LED device with enhanced performance using these NRs is illustrated. This technique may prove useful to the development of a vast class of nanocrystal-based optoelectronics, including solar cells and laser devices.

description: In Coulomb gauge there is a longitudinal color electric field associated with a static quark-antiquark pair. We have measured the spatial distribution of this field, and find that it falls off exponentially with transverse distance from a line joining the two quarks. In other words there is a Coulomb flux tube, with a width that is somewhat smaller than that of the minimal energy flux tube associated with the asymptotic string tension. A confinement criterion for gauge theories with matter fields is also proposed.

Quantum Resonance in Spacetime How Gravitational Waves Modulate Quantum Coherence
Creators: name: Cacci, Marco
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2025

description: This paper explores how gravitational waves influence quantum coherence, proposing that instead of merely causing decoherence, they may also restore entanglement. It introduces the Quantum Sensor Network (QSN) for detecting non-local perturbations and links this concept to the Cosmic Broth Theory (CBT), which describes spacetime as an emergent quantum substrate. The study suggests that time oscillates due to variations in the Cosmic Broth’s density, leading to measurable effects on pulsar timing, quantum entanglement, and gravitational interferometers. Proposed experiments using LISA, SKA, and atomic clocks aim to verify these predictions. If confirmed, the findings could redefine gravity as an emergent effect and provide a novel link between quantum mechanics and general relativity, with implications for quantum networking and space-based metrology.

description: This study focuses on the preparation of WO3 oxide nanoparticle/Activated carbon composite (WO3/AC) for Rhodamine B (RhB) adsorption. The prepared samples were characterized using X-Ray Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Brunauer–Emmett–Teller surface area (BET), Raman Spectroscopy and Thermogravimetric analyses (ATG-ATD). Adsorption experiments of RhB onto WO3/AC were carried out in a batch reactor and different operational parameters were investigated. The RhB adsorption process was well fitted by pseudo-second-order kinetic and Langmuir isotherm models (1666.67mg.g−1). Moreover, the values of thermodynamic parameters indicate the spontaneous, endothermic and physisorption adsorption nature. Finally, adsorption mechanism was proposed on the basis Raman analyses before and after adsorption.

Quantum channels irreducibly covariant with respect to the finite group generated by the Weyl operators

description: We introduce a class of linear maps irreducibly covariant with respect to the finite group generated by the Weyl operators. This group provides a direct generalization of the quaternion group. In particular, we analyze the irreducibly covariant quantum channels; that is, the completely positive and trace-preserving linear maps. Interestingly, imposing additional symmetries leads to the so-called generalized Pauli channels, which were recently considered in the context of the non-Markovian quantum evolution. Finally, we provide examples of irreducibly covariant positive but not necessarily completely positive maps.

description: We discuss the phenomenon of the smooth dynamical gravity induced crossing of the phantom divide line in a framework of simple cosmological models where it appears to occur rather naturally, provided the potential of the unique scalar field has some kind of cusp. The behavior of cosmological trajectories in the vicinity of the cusp is studied in some detail and a simple mechanical analogy is presented. The phenomenon of certain complementarity between the smoothness of the spacetime geometry and matter equations of motion is elucidated. We introduce a network of cosmological histories and qualitatively describe some of its properties.

description: Local Group (LG) galaxies have relatively accurate SFHs and metallicity evolution derived from resolved CMD modeling, and thus offer a unique opportunity to explore the efficacy of estimating stellar mass M$_{\star}$ of real galaxies based on integrated stellar luminosities. Building on the SFHs and metallicity evolution of 40 LG dwarf galaxies, we carried out a comprehensive study of the influence of SFHs, metallicity evolution, and dust extinction on the UV-to-NIR color-$M/L$ (color-log$Υ_{\star}$($λ$)) relations and M$_{\star}$ estimation of local universe galaxies. We find that: The LG galaxies follow color-log$Υ_{\star}$($λ$) relations that fall in between the ones calibrated by previous studies; Optical color-log$Υ_{\star}$($λ$) relations at higher metallicities ([M/H]) are generally broader and steeper; The SFH "concentration" does not significantly affect the color-log$Υ_{\star}$($λ$) relations; Light-weighted ages and [M/H] together constrain log$Υ_{\star}$($λ$) with uncertainties ranging from $\lesssim$ 0.1 dex for the NIR up to 0.2 dex for the optical passbands; Metallicity evolution induces significant uncertainties to the optical but not NIR $Υ_{\star}$($λ$) at given light-weighted ages and [M/H]; The $V$ band is the ideal luminance passband for estimating $Υ_{\star}$($λ$) from single colors, because the combinations of $Υ_{\star}$($V$) and optical colors such as $B-V$ and $g-r$ exhibit the weakest systematic dependence on SFHs, [M/H] and dust extinction; Without any prior assumption on SFHs, M$_{\star}$ is constrained with biases $\lesssim$ 0.3 dex by the optical-to-NIR SED fitting. Optical passbands alone constrain M$_{\star}$ with biases $\lesssim$ 0.4 dex (or $\lesssim$ 0.6 dex) when dust extinction is fixed (or variable) in SED fitting. [abridged]

Information Tradeoff Relations for Finite-Strength Quantum Measurements

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2000
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)

description: In this paper we give a new way to quantify the folklore notion that quantum measurements bring a disturbance to the system being measured. We consider two observers who initially assign identical mixed-state density operators to a two-state quantum system. The question we address is to what extent one observer can, by measurement, increase the purity of his density operator without affecting the purity of the other observer's. If there were no restrictions on the first observer's measurements, then he could carry this out trivially by measuring the initial density operator's eigenbasis. If, however, the allowed measurements are those of finite strength---i.e., those measurements strictly within the interior of the convex set of all measurements---then the issue becomes significantly more complex. We find that for a large class of such measurements the first observer's purity increases the most precisely when there is some loss of purity for the second observer. More generally the tradeoff between the two purities, when it exists, forms a monotonic relation. This tradeoff has potential application to quantum state control and feedback.

description: We show that the space of observables of test particles carries a natural Jacobi structure which is manifestly invariant under the action of the Poincaré group. Poisson algebras may be obtained by imposing further requirements. A generalization of Peierls procedure is used to extend this Jacobi bracket on the space of time-like geodesics on Minkowski space-time.

description: We consider the problem of the nature and possible types of spacetime singularities that can form during the evolution of \emph{FRW} universes in general relativity. We show that by using, in addition to the Hubble expansion rate and the scale factor, the Bel-Robinson energy of these universes we can consistently distinguish between the possible different types of singularities and arrive at a complete classification of the singularities that can occur in the isotropic case. We also use the Bel-Robinson energy to prove that known behaviours of exact flat isotropic universes with given singularities are generic in the sense that they hold true in every type of spatial geometry.

description: Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy of etanercept (ETN) compared with placebo for moderate-to-severe psoriasis regarding patient-reported outcomes (PROs). Methods: Systematic review of studies retrieved by a sensitive search strategy in Medline, Embase, Cochrane Library. Selection criteria: (population) studies had to include patients with for moderate-to-severe psoriasis; (intervention and control) studies had to test ETN vs. placebo; and (outcomes), studies had to report PROs including quality of life, pain, pruritus, or sleep. Only randomized controlled trials (RCT) were included. Two reviewers independently selected the articles and collected data. Studies quality was assessed using the Jadad score. For the meta-analysis, a random effects model was followed and statistical heterogeneity was tested with statistic I2. Results: We finally included 12 RCT. Compared with placebo, ETN significantly improved quality of life, patient global assessment, pruritus and pain in the short and medium term, fatigue in the short term (although the effect size and differences with placebo are unclear). ETN also produces a high patient’s satisfaction, which increases over time and is higher compared with placebo and might improve depressive symptoms in the long term. Conclusions: ETN is an effective option for improving PROs in patients with moderate-to-severe psoriasis.
