description: We develop a theoretical approach for nuclear spectral functions at high missing momenta and removal energies based on the multi-nucleon short-range correlation~(SRC) model. The approach is based on the effective Feynman diagrammatic method which allows to account for the relativistic effects important in the SRC domain. In addition to two-nucleon SRC with center of mass motion we derive also the contribution of three-nucleon SRCs to the nuclear spectral functions. The latter is modeled based on the assumption that 3N SRCs are a product of two sequential short range NN interactions. This approach allowed us to express the 3N SRC part of the nuclear spectral function as a convolution of two NN SRCs. Thus the knowledge of 2N SRCs allows us to model both two- and three-nucleon SRC contributions to the spectral function. The derivations of the spectral functions are based on the two theoretical frameworks in evaluating covariant Feynman diagrams: In the first, referred as virtual nucleon approximation, we reduce Feynman diagrams to the time ordered noncovariant diagrams by evaluating nucleon spectators in the SRC at their positive energy poles, neglecting explicitly the contribution from vacuum diagrams. In the second approach, referred as light-front approximation, we formulate the boost invariant nuclear spectral function in the light-front reference frame in which case the vacuum diagrams are generally suppressed and the bound nucleon is described by its light-cone variables such as momentum fraction, transverse momentum and invariant mass.

description: The assumption of source independence was used to reveal nonlocal (apart from standard Bell-CHSH scenario) nature of correlations generated in entanglement swapping experiments. In this work, we have derived a set of sufficient criteria, imposed on the states (produced by the sources) under which source independence can reveal nonbilocal nature of correlations in a quantum network. To show this, we have considered real two qubit X states thereby discussing the various utilities of assuming source independence in a quantum network.

description: Monogamy is a defining feature of entanglement, having far reaching applications. Recently, Regula \textit{et.al.} in Phys. Rev. Lett. \textbf{113}, 110501(2014) have proposed a stronger version of monogamy relation for concurrence. We have extended the strong monogamy inequality for another entanglement measure, viz., negativity. In particular, we have concentrated on four-qubit system and provided a detail study on the status of strong monogamy on pure states. Further, we have analytically provided some classes of states for which negativity and squared negativity satisfy strong monogamy. Numerical evidences have also been shown in proper places. Our analysis also provides cases where strong monogamy is violated.

description:
The La Baja Guajira Basin is the primary gas-producing region of Colombia. This study analyses regional 2D-seismic reflection and borehole data to better understand the Neogene-Quaternary events controlling the basin.

The basement’s configuration controlled the sedimentation, and its structural depressions formed the main depocenter (Tayrona Sub-basin). The basement is a pre-rift sequence that displays an abrupt westward deepening of its top from 0.8 km to 12 km depth over 30 km.

Two phases of rifting occurred during the Early Miocene: 1) half-graben formation along onshore and proximal offshore areas, and 2) extension migrated westward and formed the necking domain along the distal offshore area.

From the latest Early Miocene to the Early Pliocene, subduction of the Caribbean Plate underneath South American Plate influenced the basin’s offshore area by compressional deformation associated with inverted reactivation of larger normal basement-rooted faults.

During the Middle Miocene, the extension had ceased, sediments filled significant residual accommodation space, and the proximal area remained quieter favouring the deposition of clinoforms that prograded westward until the Quaternary.

Two exhumation pulses (Middle Miocene and Early Pliocene) of adjacent areas resulted in increased subsidence and sedimentation rates, which led the rocks to reach maximum temperature peaks and burial depths. In the Late Miocene, a period of erosion affected the northern proximal areas.

From Late Pliocene to Pleistocene, sea-level changes dominated over tectonism. Ongoing hydrocarbon generation can be expected in the south. High sedimentation rates calculated can lead to microbial gas generation and favour the preservation of biogenic gas accumulations.

description: Recent findings suggest, separable states, which are otherwise of no use in entanglement dependent tasks, can also be used in information processing tasks that depend upon the discord type general non classical correlations. In this work, we explore the nature of uncertainty in separable states as measured by local quantum uncertainty. Particularly in two-qubit system, we find separable X-state which has maximum local quantum uncertainty. Interestingly, this separable state coincides with the separable state, having maximum geometric discord. We also search for the maximum amount of local quantum uncertainty in separable Bell diagonal states. We indicate an interesting connection to the tightness of entropic uncertainty with the state of maximum uncertainty.

description: We have characterized the robust propagation modes of electromagnetic waves in helical structures by the section Chern number that is defined for a two-dimensional (2D) section of the three- dimensional (3D) Brillouin zone. The Weyl point in the photonic bands is associated with a dis- continuous jump of the section Chern number. A spatially localized Gaussian basis set is used to calculate the section Chern numbers where we have implemented the divergence-free condition on each basis function in 3D. The validity of the bulk-edge correspondence in a 3D photonic crystal is discussed in relation to the broken inversion symmetry.

description: Red giant stars present mixed modes, which behave as pressure modes in the convective envelope and as gravity modes in the radiative interior. This mixed character allows to probe the physical conditions in their core. With the advent of long-duration time series from space-borne missions such as CoRoT and Kepler, it becomes possible to study the red giant core rotation. As more than 15 000 red giant light curves have been recorded, it is crucial to develop a robust and efficient method to measure this rotation. Such measurements of thousands of mean core rotation would open the way to a deeper understanding of the physical mechanisms that are able to transport angular momentum from the core to the envelope in red giants. In this work, we detail the principle of the method we developed to obtain automatic measurements of the red giant mean core rotation. This method is based on the stretching of the oscillation spectra and on the use of the so-called Hough transform. We finally validate this method for stars on the red giant branch, where overlapping rotational splittings and mixed-mode spacings produce complicated frequency spectra.

title: Constraining the heat transfer from convecting upper-crustal magma reservoirs to hydrothermal fluid flow systems
Creators: name: Weis, Philipp
name: Andersen, Christine
Publisher: name: Deutsche Geologische Gesellschaft - Geologische Vereinigung e.V. (DGGV)
Year: 2022

description:
Heat transfer through the upper crust is primarily controlled by magma flow, heat conduction and hydrothermal fluid flow. The interplay between magma and fluid flow processes is essential for geothermal systems, ore formation and volcanic processes, but is not well constrained due to a lack of accessibility. We developed a coupled numerical model that can resolve both magma and hydrothermal flow to quantify the influence of magma convection and rock permeability on heat transfer. The results demonstrate how magma convection enhances the energy transfer towards the magma-hydrothermal interface, leading to an accelerating effect of up to 15% on the cooling of the reservoir. However, at high brittle-ductile transition temperatures and high host rock permeabilities, magma flow can also prevent efficient permeability creation and entrainment of hydrothermal fluids at the edges of the reservoir, leading to a secondary decelerating effect on the cooling rate. Using different initial melt compositions (basaltic to rhyolitic), our numerical simulations can further constrain the varying timescales of magma evolution from shorter-lived, lower-crystallinity convecting magma reservoirs to longer-lived, higher-crystallinity magma mushes where convection has seized.

description:
Regional tectonic events are difficult to detect in a stable continental crust, especially in the absence of major tectonic structures. Tectonic events may, however, trigger crustal fluid migration, leading locally to the formation of alterations zones in uraninite and uranium-bearing minerals. Accordingly, these events may be assessed, for example, by U-Th-Pb dating.

The Evje-Iveland pegmatites intruded at the end of the Sveconorwegian orogeny into the metamorphic basement of the Telemark tectonic domain of southern Norway. After magmatic crystallization, several fluid interactions lead to the alteration of igneous minerals and to the formation of discrete secondary mineral assemblages. We investigated uraninite and secondary uranium-phases from a range of Evje-Iveland pegmatite localities.

Pegmatites in the Landsverk area have been subjected to a prominent hydrothermal brecciation event, leading to the crystallization of hydrothermal minerals, including quartz, albite, epidote and titanite assemblages. A broad age group around 500 Ma is also obtained from hydrothermally altered domains of the Einerkilen uraninite. In addition, secondary uranium phases uranophane-β and uranophane yield chemical ages corresponding to the Early Cretaceous and Paleogene. The post-Sveconorwegian mineralisation can tentatively be related to the Caledonian orogeny, opening of the North Sea rift system, and Scandinavian uplift, respectively.

Distinct age populations from hydrothermally overprinted uranium ores can be correlated with regional tectonic events, not otherwise detected in a stable continental crust.

description: We present a way of searching for non-transiting exoplanets with dusty tails. In the transiting case, the extinction by dust during the transit removes more light from the beam than is scattered into it. Thus, the forward scattering component of the light is best seen either just prior to ingress, or just after egress, but with reduced amplitude over the larger peak that is obscured by the transit. This picture suggests that it should be equally productive to search for positive-going peaks in the flux from non-transiting exoplanets with dusty tails. We discuss what amplitudes are expected for different orbital inclination angles. The signature of such objects should be distinct from normal transits, starspots, and most - but not all - types of stellar pulsations.

description:
The Atacama Desert in Chile is known to be one of the driest deserts on Earth, with dominating hyperaridity since the Miocene. During recent times, however, especially the southern part of the Atacama repeatedly experienced exceptional precipitation events, like in 2015 and 2017. Locally, these events with rainfall rates of >50 mm within 48 hours caused catastrophic floods with significant destruction and human fatalities. Although the meteorological drivers of these heavy rains are widely understood, only little is known about the frequency and amplitude of similar events on geological timescales.

Here we present the results of a study in an endorheic claypan from the southern edge of the hyperarid core of the Atacama, an area with mean annual precipitation of 5 mm/a. A modern ground-truthing approach applying remote-sensing and meteorological as well as climate-modelling data indicate that during the past 30 years, the claypan reacted very sensitive to local precipitation, with events >20 mm of rain causing sufficient surface run-off in the catchment to partially flood the basin. A short sediment core recovered from the center of the claypan covers approx. the past 16,000 years.  First sedimentological, mineralogical, and geochemical findings imply strong variations in the amplitude of the recorded precipitation events over time, with a clear shift from more intense to lower-amplitude events from the late Pleistocene to the Holocene. The results of the study shed new light on the glacial-interglacial precipitation variability in the Atacama Desert and its driving mechanisms.

description: We compute the right top quark coupling in the aligned two-Higgs-doublet model. In the Standard Model the real part of this coupling is dominated by QCD-gluon-exchange diagram, but the imaginary part, instead, is purely electroweak at one loop. Within this model we show that values for the imaginary part of the coupling up to one order of magnitude larger than the electroweak prediction can be obtained. For the real part of the electroweak contribution we find that it can be up to three orders of magnitude larger than the standard model one. We also present detailed results of the one loop analytical computation.

description: As artificial intelligence (AI) agents like chatbots play larger roles in daily life, questions arise regarding how people evaluate their communication. Perspectives applying communication scripts to human-AI interactions propose that outcomes are determined by messages and the embedded cues therein. The expectancy violations perspective posits that message characteristics are less important than whether they are expected or unexpected. A pilot study established baseline expectancies about humans’ and chatbots’ conversational contingency and response latencies. A 2 (contingency: more/less contingent responses) × 2 (latency: fast/slow responses) × 2 (communicator identity: human/chatbot) experiment then tested predictions derived from human-human communication scripts and expectancy violations using textual variations in an e-commerce chat. Communicators showing greater conversational contingency and faster responses were most credible, whether they were human or chatbots, but chatbots were consistently less socially attractive than humans. Results show that humans and chatbots are evaluated similarly regarding the functional, but not the relational aspects of communication. There was greater support for the communication script perspective than the expectancy violations perspective regarding interactions with chatbots.

description:
The Cenozoic graben filling is currently investigated for heat storage potentials (DeepStor-project). The structural model based on 3D-seismic and borehole data constrains the geometry and sedimentary thicknesses of potential reservoirs of the DeepStor area north of Karlsruhe. Beside these site specific addressed questions the structural model was used to improve understanding of the development of structures and sedimentary units during Upper Rhine Graben development. The c. 44 km2 3D-seismic area is dominated by two major (N)NE-(S)SW-striking, W-dipping Leopoldshafen and Stutensee growth faults showing normal displacements of several hundred meters, most likely displacing crystalline basement rocks. Fault shadowing effects reduce imaging quality, identification and resolution of seismic reflectors with increasing depth mainly in the footwall. Footwall strata of the Leopoldshafen dip at very shallow angles to the E. Major growth strata along the Leopoldshafen fault comprise the early Miocene Hydrobia beds implying major fault activity during early Miocene times. Fault growth strata display migration of fault activity towards rift interior with time. NNW-striking en echelon normal faults, linked with relay ramps and antithetic faults, are limited to Cenozoic strata unconformably overlaying middle Jurassic rocks. Fault length – displacement analysis of individual faults indicate complex concomitant major and minor faulting activity, tip migration and subsequent fault linkage of minor fault segments that have evolved during progressive transtension.

description: Charge transport in nanostructures and thin films is fundamental to many phenomena and processes in science and technology, ranging from quantum effects and electronic correlations in mesoscopic physics, to integrated charge- or spin-based electronic circuits, to photoactive layers in energy research. Direct visualization of the charge flow in such structures is challenging due to their nanometer size and the itinerant nature of currents. In this work, we demonstrate non-invasive magnetic imaging of current density in two-dimensional conductor networks including metallic nanowires and carbon nanotubes. Our sensor is the electronic spin of a diamond nitrogen-vacancy center attached to a scanning tip. Using a differential measurement technique, we detect DC currents down to a few uA above a baseline current density of 2e4 A/cm2. Reconstructed images have a spatial resolution of typically 50 nm, with a best-effort value of 22 nm. Current density imaging offers a new route for studying electronic transport and conductance variations in two-dimensional materials and devices, with many exciting applications in condensed matter physics.

description: Information Communication Technology has become a significant expression of human activity that has contributed and still contributes much to countries' economies, social welfare, and cultural heritage. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) competitiveness is basically affected by political, economic, social, technological, legal and environmental factors. Information Communication Technology (ICT) as part of technologies, it is one of the contemporary factor affecting different areas of business organizations towards their competitiveness. UPAREZ Business PLC is a SME. It has invested a lot on ICT to maintain its competitiveness. However, Some SBU and department don't know the potential factors affecting ICT adoption and have not used any formal ICT adoption model. ICT use (utilization) varied among SBUs and departments. Thus, the objective of this research is to identify factors affecting ICT adoption towards the competitiveness SMEs in the case of UPAREZ and develop a custom made model for the company with particular emphasis on influence of ICT on competitiveness. In order to achieve the above objective interview, questioner and document observation were used as an instrument for data collection, and mixed research methodology were implemented for data analysis. Contrary to the common understanding of SMEs, UPAREZ has invested a lot in ICT. Factors top management/owner support on ICT, centralized business management, owners/manager's ICT awareness, improved market performance, ease of use, speed up business processes, size (number of sales outlet or customer), increased efficiency and effectiveness, government's regulation and law, improved and quality service delivery, quality of IS systems and capabilities, link internal and external business processes, reduced business costs and supplier collaboration were the most impotent enabling factors affecting the ICT adoption. The barriers to adopt the ICT were of inadequate ICT strategy, lack of government incentive, lack of perceived economic or other benefits to the unit, reluctance of personnel to use ICT, lack of localization-Amharic user interface, lack of training& consulting, new versions of existing software introduced too often (support fee) and expensive hardware/software, which creates inconsistent ICT adoption in strategic business units (SBUs) and departments on UPAREZ. The company has to minimizing the resistant barriers and exploit the enabling factors of ICT adoption to reinforce its competitiveness through ICT. The overall factors, barriers and perceptions affecting ICT adoption were identified and a custom made ICT adoption model for the company has been developed. The company and CT suppliers could able use the model by considering their existing contexts.

Validity of the Einstein Hole Argument
Creators: name: Johns, Oliver Davis
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: History and Philosophy of Physics (physics.hist-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Arguing from his "hole" thought experiment, Einstein became convinced that, in cases in which the energy-momentum-tensor source vanishes in a spacetime hole, a solution to his general relativistic field equation cannot be uniquely determined by that source. After reviewing the definition of active diffeomorphisms, this paper uses them to outline a mathematical proof of Einstein's result. The relativistic field equation is shown to have multiple solutions, just as Einstein thought. But these multiple solutions can be distinguished by the different physical meaning that each metric solution attaches to the local coordinates used to write it. Thus the hole argument, while formally correct, does not prohibit the subsequent rejection of spurious solutions and the selection of a physically unique metric. This conclusion is illustrated using the Schwarzschild metric. It is suggested that the Einstein hole argument therefore cannot be used to argue against substantivalism.

description: Let $\n_{d,t}$ be the free nilpotent Lie algebra of type $d$ and nilindex $t$. Starting out with the derivation algebra and the automorphism group of $\n_{d,t}$, we get a natural description of derivations and automorphisms of any generic nilpotent Lie algebra of the same type and nilindex. Moreover, along the paper we discuss several examples to illustrate the obtained results.

description:
Gypsum group minerals in the Atacama Desert occur in pedogenic profiles or as primary lacustrine sediments and are subject to complex redistribution processes. The 87Sr/86Sr composition of gypsum is a useful tool to trace the source of the gypsum deposits. A sequential digestion method was developed to analyze gypsum and its inherent detrital silicate components separately. Samples were taken from the Central Depression and the Western Cordillera, including  Miocene - Pleistocene lacustrine deposits and some pedogenic gypsum.

The 87Sr/86Sr compositions measured in gypsum range from 0.7065 to 0.7074, and are in most cases similar to that of the detrital components, indicating that the gypsum composition is influenced by the underlying bedrock through parental water-rock interaction. Interestingly, most samples yield lower 87Sr/86Sr ratios than present day waters from the Atacama Desert. The 87Sr/86Sr  ratio varies strongly between the different samples, reflecting the highly variable bedrock composition in the Atacama Desert that was often neglected in previous studies. There are some outliers with strongly enriched 87Sr/86Sr values up to 0.7128 in the detrital components. This mismatch can be explained by various sources of gypsum and detritus, which can be achieved through processes like aeolian redeposition of gypsum into a basin with a bedrock carrying a distinct Sr signal or by dissolution and reprecipitation of the gypsum by waters with different Sr signals. Also, in some cases, the parental brine may reflect the bedrock composition of the water catchment rather than the bedrock composition of the basin, where lacustrine gypsum precipitates.

description: Intergroup contact research demonstrates that contact with outgroups (including mediated contact) improves attitudes about those groups. However, people often avoid such contact, including avoiding outgroup media messages. In two studies, we investigated voluntary exposure to outgroup media. Our research builds on intergroup contact theory and the reactive approach model. The latter suggests (counterintuitively) that, sometimes, anxiety can motivate people to engage with the unfamiliar. Both studies measured potential predictors of voluntary contact, provided musical options for respondents, and measured which options people chose as well as their engagement with and enjoyment of those choices. Study 1 provided a simple choice between two musical options (ingroup versus outgroup); Study 2 used a more extensive array of ingroup and outgroup options, including ingroup-outgroup collaborative music. Findings suggest a limited role of personality traits in determining seeking outgroup media, but a more powerful role for diversity-related attitudes and past exposure to outgroup media. Some evidence supported reactive approach models (e.g., self-expansion motives drove time spent listening to outgroup media in Study 1, but only for people who reported high levels of intergroup anxiety).
Harmonic and Schrödinger functions of polynomial growth on gradient shrinking Ricci solitons

description: In this paper, we study harmonic and caloric functions of polynomial growth on a complete non-compact gradient shrinking Ricci soliton. On one hand, when the scalar curvature satisfies at least quadratic decay, we prove that the space of harmonic functions with fixed polynomial growth degree is finite dimensional. We also prove analogous results for ancient caloric functions. On the other hand, without any curvature condition, we prove sharp finite dimensional estimates for the space of Schrödinger functions with fixed polynomial growth degree.

description: In proposing a model of three processes triggered by media content – evocation, transcendence, and motivation – this study seeks to define what kinds of media content can lead to a state of inspiration. Specifically, during the evocation process, media content moves people and then provokes their thoughts to a greater extent; in the transcendence process, it generates more hopeful feelings and then elicits a greater sense of self-expansion; and in the motivation process, media content generates more feelings of vitality and then motivates people to act like the characters (i.e., emulate them) to a greater degree. All three multi-stage routes might lead to greater inspiration. Two pilot studies identify three common content themes that inspire people, such that they demonstrate people’s moral virtues, transformation (i.e., overcoming difficulties through perseverance despite adversity), and creativity. The experiment in Study 1 tests the proposed process model using feature stories in news programs that demonstrate moral virtues, transformation, and creativity by exemplars. A second experiment in Study 2 provides a further test by comparing competition shows that involve different levels of creativity (cooking, singing, quizzes). Media content involving more creativity inspires viewers to a greater degree, through all three processes.

description: A similarity transformation for the mean velocity profiles is obtained in sink flow turbulent boundary layers (TBL), including effects of blowing and suction. It is based on symmetry analysis which transforms the governing partial differential equations (for mean mass and momentum) into an ordinary differential equation and yields a new result including an exact, linear relation between the mean normal ($V$) and streamwise ($U$) velocities. A characteristic length is further introduced which, under a first order expansion in wall blowing/suction velocity, leads to the similarity transformation for $U$. This transformation is shown to be a group invariant under a generalized symmetry analysis and maps different $U$ profiles under different blowing/suction conditions into a (universal) profile under no blowing/suction. Its inverse transformation enables predictions of all mean quantities in the mean mass and momentum equations - $U$, $V$ and the Reynolds shear stress - in good agreement with direct numerical simulation (DNS) data.

description:
Orogenic processes typically proceed through a number of tectonic stages in which rocks are subjected to burial, heating, exhumation and cooling. The rates and durations of the prograde stages are commonly poorly constrained, because the minerals typically used for age dating mostly form late in the process during decompression and the onset of cooling, or they possess closure temperatures that are lower than the metamorphic peak temperatures of metamorphism.

In-situ garnet U–Pb geochronology is an emerging technique that has the potential of unraveling the prograde- and peak-metamorphic history and may thus be the ideal petrochronometer that is needed to investigate mountain-building processes, where most other chronometers only record the collapse and exhumation of orogens.

At FIERCE, we perform garnet laser-ablation MC-ICPMS U–Pb geochronological analyses of metamorphic garnet with typically <0.1 µg/g U. Distinct growth zones of garnet from polymetamorphic granulites that experienced ultra-high temperature (UHT) metamorphic conditions above 900 ºC were analyzed.

We find that ages of older garnet growth zones are not reset during subsequent UHT-metamorphism, and conclude that the U–Pb system in garnet has a closure temperature at UHT conditions that may only be rivaled by zircon. Consequently, garnet U–Pb ages from crustal metamorphic rocks have to be interpreted as crystallization ages. LA-ICPMS garnet U–Pb dating thus complements the information obtained from other geochronometers, as it provides accurate and precise insight into the prograde to peak metamorphic P–T–t history of (poly)metamorphic terrains and the formation of orogens.

Agenda-manipulation in ranking

description: We study the susceptibility of committee governance (e.g. by boards of directors), modelled as the collective determination of a ranking of a set of alternatives, to manipulation of the order in which pairs of alternatives are voted on -- agenda-manipulation. We exhibit an agenda strategy called insertion sort that allows a self-interested committee chair with no knowledge of how votes will be cast to do as well as if she had complete knowledge. Strategies with this 'regret-freeness' property are characterised by their efficiency, and by their avoidance of two intuitive errors. What distinguishes regret-free strategies from each other is how they prioritise among alternatives; insertion sort prioritises lexicographically.
