Dark Matter in $E_6$ Grand Unification
Creators: name: Schwichtenberg, Jakob
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We discuss fermionic dark matter in non-supersymmetric $E_6$ Grand Unification. The fundamental representation of $E_6$ contains, in addition to the standard model fermions, exotic fermions and we argue that one of them is a viable, interesting dark matter candidate. Its stability is guaranteed by a discrete remnant symmetry, which is an unbroken subgroup of the $E_6$ gauge symmetry. We compute the symmetry breaking scales and the effect of possible threshold corrections by solving the renormalization group equations numerically after imposing gauge coupling unification. Since the Yukawa couplings of the exotic and the standard model fermions have a common origin, the mass of the dark matter particles is constrained. We find a mass range of ${10^{8} \text{ GeV} \lesssim m_{DM} \lesssim 10^{12} \text{ GeV}}$ for our $E_6$ dark matter candidate, which is within the reach of next-generation direct detection experiments.

description: During common envelope evolution, an initially weak magnetic field may undergo amplification by interacting with spiral density waves and turbulence generated in the stellar envelope by the inspiralling companion. Using 3D magnetohydrodynamical simulations on adaptively refined spherical grids with excised central regions, we studied the amplification of magnetic fields and their effect on the envelope structure, dynamics, and the orbital evolution of the binary during the post-dynamical inspiral phase. About $95\%$ of magnetic energy amplification arises from magnetic field stretching, folding, and winding due to differential rotation and turbulence while compression against magnetic pressure accounts for the remaining $\sim 5\%$. Magnetic energy production peaks at a scale of $3a_\text{b}$, where $a_\text{b}$ is the semimajor axis of the central binary's orbit. Because the magnetic energy production declines at large radial scales, the conditions are not favorable for the formation of magnetically collimated bipolar jet-like outflows unless they are generated on small scales near the individual cores, which we did not resolve. Magnetic fields have a negligible impact on binary orbit evolution, mean kinetic energy, and the disk-like morphology of angular momentum transport, but turbulent Maxwell stress can dominate Reynolds stress when accretion onto the central binary is allowed, leading to an $α$-disk parameter of $\simeq 0.034$. Finally, we discovered accretion streams arising from the stabilizing effect of the magnetic tension from the toroidal field about the orbital plane, which prevents overdensities from being destroyed by turbulence and enables them to accumulate mass and eventually migrate toward the binary.

Explanatory framework for well-being theories: systematic, comprehensive, persistent
Creators: name: Pitre, Myriam
Publisher: name: Macquarie University

Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: Well-being is a broad construct widely acknowledged for being multidimensional, multidisciplinary and dynamic in nature. There is a growing need for a framework to assist in building comprehensive theories providing an explanation for well-being outcomes. In this thesis, a systems approach to well-being theories is proposed following research traditions in personality and organizational psychology and other disciplines. In these latter domains, a systems approach has provided many benefits including increased understanding of complex phenomena and theory formalization. Using conceptual analysis, systems theory is applied as a framework to develop five principles for building and evaluating theories of well-being: a well-being system framework. The principles are then applied to evaluate two integrative well-being frameworks: the engine of well-being (Jayawickreme, Forgeard, & Seligman, 2012) and the four qualities of life (Veenhoven, 2000). The theoretical contribution of this thesis is an explanatory framework aiming to guide theory development by suggesting components that a theory requires to explain well-being. The well-being system framework aims to open new avenues for research using a systems theory approach to assist in developing comprehensive models of well-being.

description: Geographic Information Science (GIS) Major in China has been developing and flourishing for nearly 40 years. Chinese educators have made many achievements on major construction in GIS. However, opportunities and challenges coexist under the new situation of ‘Double First-Rate’ major construction in China. Thus, investigating and analysing the major status comprehensively are necessary for enhancing the development of the GIS major. This study analyses the enrolment magnitude of undergraduate and postgraduate students, student development, construction of teaching team and professional curriculum construction for GIS majors in mainland Chinese universities. The professional survey results showed that there are about 30,000 undergraduates and 4,000 postgraduates who graduate with GIS degrees every year. However, most of the undergraduates in this major do not take gGIS as their first choice in college major selection. In addition, 190 colleges and universities have set up GIS majors, who have played an important role in the development of GIS and industry. These colleges and universities are mostly concentrated in China’s central and eastern regions. The Education and Popularization Science Working Committee of the China Association for Geographic Information Society and the Ministry of Education’s Education Committee and other institutions have also organized several meaningful activities to strengthen the guidance of the GIS professional construction. A complete education system has been established to train undergraduates and postgraduates for the development of the geographic information industry in China.

Particle air pollution and its implications in the Pacific Islands

Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: Emissions arising from diesel combustion and the open burning of wastes are of concern across the Pacific Islands. Using Suva, Fiji as a case study, particulate air quality was investigated from October 2014 to October 2015. Ambient particulate concentrations were determined for total, 10µm, 2.5 µm (PM2.5), 1 µm and ultrafine particle (<300 nm) size fractions at city, residential and background locations. Ion beam analysis, to determine elemental concentrations, focussed on the PM2.5 fraction, due to the strong evidence of adverse health impacts from PM2.5. Additionally, contemporary and fossil carbon percentages were determined. Sources of PM2.5 were quantified by emissions inventory as well as by statistical analysis of air sampling data. Mortality risk was determined using published risk data. Indoor PM2.5 concentrations and sources were also investigated. Ambient PM2.5 concentrations (mean one year) in Suva city were close to Australian standards (8 µg/m3). Residential area and indoor PM2.5 results demonstrated likely exceedance of these ambient standards. Emission inventory calculations showed diesel and waste burning to be large contributors to Suva’s airborne particulate, also reflected in elevated black carbon and ultrafine particle concentrations. Statistical analysis of elemental concentrations identified diesel combustion as a major contributor to Suva’s PM2.5 mass (21%), along with vehicle emissions (all fuel types 17%). Whilst waste burning (largely biomass) contributed only 8% to city PM2.5 mass, contemporary carbon concentrations indicated biomass burning contribution to airborne particulates in residential areas to be more than double compared to the city. Based on risk of black carbon exposure, mortality risk from diesel combustion in Suva (industrial, power generation and shipping) was estimated at 59 deaths per year; vehicle and open burning emissions also represented significant risk. Reduction of emissions from these three sources would improve air quality and reduce health risk. This applies for Suva and more broadly across the Pacific Islands region.

description: Control of components in integrated photonic circuits is crucial in achieving programmable devices. Operation bandwidth of a plasmonic device cannot be generally tuned once it is manufactured, especially in the visible regime. Here, we demonstrate the electrical control of such a device for extraordinary optical transmission~(EOT) in the visible regime. (i) Operation frequency of the EOT device can be tuned via a bias voltage applied through nanowires. (ii) Or, at a given frequency, the EOT signal (normalized to the incident field) can be tuned continuously, e.g., between $10^{-4}$ and $0.4$. This corresponds to a 3-orders of magnitude modulation depth. We utilize Fano resonances induced by a quantum emitter~(QE) that is embedded into the nanoholes. The external bias-voltage tunes QE's resonance. We also discuss the lifetime extensions of surface plasmon polaritons as a response to an ultra-short optical pulse. Our proposed method provides the active electronic control of EOT signal which makes it a feasible and compact element in integrated photonic circuits, for bio-sensing, high resolution imaging, and molecular spectroscopy applications.

description: Environmental changes, failures, collisions or even terrorist attacks can cause serious malfunctions of the delivery systems. We have presented a novel approach improving resilience of Autonomous Moving Platforms AMPs. The approach is based on multi-level state diagrams describing environmental trigger specifications, movement actions and synchronization primitives. The upper level diagrams allowed us to model advanced interactions between autonomous AMPs and detect irregularities such as deadlocks live-locks etc. The techniques were presented to verify and analyze combined AMPs' behaviors using model checking technique. The described system, Dedan verifier, is still under development. In the near future, a graphical form of verified system representation is planned.

description: Resetting is a renewal mechanism in which a process is intermittently repeated after a random or fixed time. This simple act of stop and repeat profoundly influences the behaviour of a system as exemplified by the emergence of non-equilibrium properties and expedition of search processes. Herein, we explore the ramifications of stochastic resetting in the context of a single-file system called random average process (RAP) in one dimension. In particular, we focus on the dynamics of tracer particles and analytically compute the variance, equal time correlation, autocorrelation and unequal time correlation between the positions of different tracer particles. Our study unveils that resetting gives rise to rather different behaviours depending on whether the particles move symmetrically or asymmetrically. For the asymmetric case, the system for instance exhibits a long-range correlation which is not seen in absence of the resetting. Similarly, in contrast to the reset-free RAP, the variance shows distinct scalings for symmetric and asymmetric cases. While for the symmetric case, it decays (towards its steady value) as $\sim e^{-r t} / \sqrt{t}$, we find $\sim t e^{-r t}$ decay for the asymmetric case ($r$ being the resetting rate). Finally, we examine the autocorrelation and unequal time correlation in the steady state and demonstrate that they obey interesting scaling forms at late times. All our analytical results are substantiated by extensive numerical simulations.

description: With the rapid development of synthetic alternatives to mineral fibers, their possible effects on the environment and human health have become recognized as important issues worldwide. This study investigated effects of four fibrous materials, i.e. nanofibrillar/nanocrystalline celluloses (NCF and CNC), single-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs), and crocidolite asbestos (ASB), on pulmonary inflammation and immune responses found in the lungs, as well as the effects on spleen and peripheral blood immune cell subsets. BALB/c mice were given NCF, CNC, CNT, and ASB on Day 1 by oropharyngeal aspiration. At 14 days post-exposure, the animals were evaluated. Total cell number, mononuclear phagocytes, polymorphonuclear leukocytes, lymphocytes, and LDH levels were significantly increased in ASB and CNT-exposed mice. Expression of cytokines and chemokines in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) was quite different in mice exposed to four particle types, as well as expression of antigen presentation-related surface proteins on BAL cells. The results revealed that pulmonary exposure to fibrous materials led to discrete local immune cell polarization patterns with a TH2-like response caused by ASB and TH1-like immune reaction to NCF, while CNT and CNC caused non-classical or non-uniform responses. These alterations in immune response following pulmonary exposure should be taken into account when testing the applicability of new nanosized materials with fibrous morphology.
Considering the disabling nature of deafness as misrecognition
Creators: name: Sealy, Joshua
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: The aim of this thesis is to consider the disabling nature of deafness as misrecognition. The nature of deafness is not merely confined to the disabled body; instead the degree of the disability is heavily determined by the process of recognition within social interactions. Motivating this thesis is the inherent difficulty in resolving the conflict between Deaf culture and cochlear implants. The debates between interpreting deafness as disability and deafness as difference is problematic; both are too extreme and do not capture the essence of deafness. Asserting deafness as cultural allows for relativism, thus allowing the idea of deafness as purely disabled-in-itself as an acceptable idea in ethics. These rather common approaches do not help with the defence of Deaf culture. I argue that the ideal way to defend Deaf culture - the appropriate source of recognition for deaf people and people with hearing loss - is by revising the ‘Deafhood’ model proposed by Paddy Ladd: Asserting a universal conception of Deaf culture - incorporating the normative elements of recognition as argued by Honneth - as a phenomenological requirement for deaf people, not a cultural one. The corollary of this argument is that Deaf culture has a teleological function: to promote the wellbeing of deaf people

description: Precise measurements are the key to advances in all fields of science. Quantum entanglement shows higher sensitivity than achievable by classical methods. Most physical quantities including position, displacement, distance, angle, and optical path length can be obtained by optical phase measurements. Reducing the photon wavelength of the interferometry can further enhance the optical path length sensitivity and imaging resolution. By quantum frequency up conversion, we realized a short wavelength two photon number entangled state. Nearly perfect Hong Ou Mandel interference is achieved after both 1547-nm photons are up converted to 525 nm. Optical phase measurement of two photon entanglement state yields a visibility greater than the threshold to surpass the standard quantum limit. These results offer new ways for high precision quantum metrology using short wavelength quantum entanglement number state.

description: We consider the relation between SYK-like models and vector models by studying a toy model where a tensor field is coupled with a vector field. By integrating out the tensor field, the toy model reduces to the Gross-Neveu model in 1 dimension. On the other hand, a certain perturbation can be turned on and the toy model flows to an SYK-like model at low energy. A chaotic-nonchaotic phase transition occurs as the sign of the perturbation is altered. We further study similar models that possess chaos and enhanced reparameterization symmetries.

Identification and characterisation of ganglion cell loss in optic neuropathies

description: This thesis explores the identification of ganglion cell loss in optic neuropathies, and utilizes new technologies. Two commonly prevalent optic neuropathies have been studied – Glaucoma, which is common among the older population and Mutiple Sclerosis (MS) associated optic neuropathy, which is more prevalent in the younger population. The aim of the glaucoma study was to identify the combination of the tests that would identify very early loss of ganglion cells. Knowledge of this impact will then allow clinicians to identify patients with early glaucomatous damage and start treatment before evident visual field loss. The study revealed that Heidelberg retina tomograph (HRT) and Low contrast multifocal visual evoked potential (LLA mfVEP) were two sensitive tests in detecting patients with preperimetric and early glaucomatous defects. The aim of the MS study was to identify ganglion cell loss in patients with MS with or without previous history of Optic Neuritis (ON). The study also aimed to prove if the eye is a primary site of neurodegeneration in patients with multiple sclerosis. This could possibly shed some light in the pathological changes in the eye that occurs with MS related neurodegeneration. The results of the study indicated the presence of a trans neuronal degeneration, which could be retrograde (from optic radiation to retina) or anterograde (from retina to visual cortex). We also proved the absence of retrograde degeneration since the ERG changes were of similar magnitude in both ON and NON eyes of MS patients.

description: A strain of Fusarium oxysporum was isolated from grapevine showing heavy decline disease in a vineyard of Veneto region in Italy. The fungus showed to produce phytotoxic metabolites when grown in liquid culture. The main metabolite was identified as fusaric acid produced for the first time as a phytotoxin by a strain of F. oxysporom isolated from diseased grapevine plants. Its quantification in the fungus cultures filtrates was accomplished by HPLC. When tested on tobacco by leaf-puncture assay fusaric acid at 0.5 mg/mL induced the formation of extensive necrosis.

description: Several growth models have been proposed in the literature for scale-free complex networks, with a range of fitness-based attachment models gaining prominence recently. However, the processes by which such fitness-based attachment behaviour can arise are less well understood, making it difficult to compare the relative merits of such models. This paper analyses an evolutionary mechanism that would give rise to a fitness-based attachment process. In particular, it is proven by analytical and numerical methods that in homogeneous networks, the minimisation of maximum exposure to node unfitness leads to attachment probabilities that are proportional to node fitness. This result is then extended to heterogeneous networks, with supply chain networks being used as an example.

description: Altering chemical reactivity and material structure in confined optical environments is on the rise, and yet, a conclusive understanding of the microscopic mechanisms remains elusive. This originates mostly from the fact that accurately predicting vibrational and reactive dynamics for soluted ensembles of realistic molecules is no small endeavor, and adding (collective) strong light-matter interaction does not simplify matters. Here, we establish a framework based on a combination of machine learning (ML) models, trained using density-functional theory calculations, and molecular dynamics to accelerate such simulations. We then apply this approach to evaluate strong coupling, changes in reaction rate constant, and their influence on enthalpy and entropy for the deprotection reaction of 1-phenyl-2-trimethylsilylacetylene, which has been studied previously both experimentally and using ab initio simulations. While we find qualitative agreement with critical experimental observations, especially with regard to the changes in kinetics, we also find differences in comparison with previous theoretical predictions. The features for which the ML-accelerated and ab initio simulations agree show the experimentally estimated kinetic behavior. Conflicting features indicate that a contribution of dynamic electronic polarization to the reaction process is more relevant then currently believed. Our work demonstrates the practical use of ML for polaritonic chemistry, discusses limitations of common approximations and paves the way for a more holistic description of polaritonic chemistry.

description: We examine with a particle-in-cell (PIC) simulation the collision of two equally dense clouds of cold pair plasma. The clouds interpenetrate until instabilities set in, which heat up the plasma and trigger the formation of a pair of shocks. The fastest-growing waves at the collision speed c/5 and low temperature are the electrostatic two-stream mode and the quasi-electrostatic oblique mode. Both waves grow and saturate via the formation of phase space vortices. The strong electric fields of these nonlinear plasma structures provide an efficient means of heating up and compressing the inflowing upstream leptons. The interaction of the hot leptons, which leak back into the upstream region, with the inflowing cool upstream leptons continuously drives electrostatic waves that mediate the shock. These waves heat up the inflowing upstream leptons primarily along the shock normal, which results in an anisotropic velocity distribution in the post-shock region. This distribution gives rise to the Weibel instability. Our simulation shows that even if the shock is mediated by quasi-electrostatic waves, strong magnetowaves will still develop in its downstream region.

description: We present CO observations toward three large supernova remnants (SNRs) in the third Galactic quadrant using the Purple Mountain Observatory Delingha 13.7m radio telescope. The observations are part of the high-resolution CO survey of the Galactic plane between Galactic longitudes l=-10deg to 250deg and latitudes b=-5deg to 5d. CO emission was detected toward the three SNRs: G205.5+0.5 (Monoceros Nebula), G206.9+2.3 (PKS 0646+06), and G213.0-0.6. Both of SNRs G205.5+0.5 and G213.0-0.6 exhibit the morphological agreement (or spatial correspondences) between the remnant and the surrounding molecular clouds (MCs), as well as kinematic signatures of shock perturbation in the molecular gas. We confirm that the two SNRs are physically associated with their ambient MCs and the shock of SNRs is interacting with the dense, clumpy molecular gas. SNR G206.9+2.3, which is close to the northeastern edge of the Monoceros Nebula, displays the spatial coincidence with molecular partial shell structures at VLSR~15km/s. While no significant line broadening has been detected within or near the remnant, the strong morphological correspondence between the SNR and the molecular cavity implies that SNR G206.9+2.3 is probably associated with these CO gas and is evolving in the low-density environment. The physical features of individual SNRs, together with the relationship between SNRs and their nearby objects, are also discussed.

Conformally symmetric wormhole solutions supported by non-commutative geometries in the context of $f(Q,T)$ gravity

description: This paper examines wormhole geometries in the context of $f(Q,T)$ gravity under the background of non-commutative distributions. We discuss the analytical solutions assuming spherical symmetry and the presence of conformal Killing vectors, which provides a systematic approach for seeking exact wormhole solutions. Specifically, the imposition of conformal symmetry places noteworthy constraints on the model, shaping the analytical outcomes more precisely. We studied the properties of traversable wormholes under both Gaussian and Lorentzian distributions and noticed that NEC and SEC are violated in the neighborhood of the wormhole throat. We also observed the influence of model parameters as well as non-commutative parameters for these violations. Employing the "volume integral quantifier," it is established that conformally symmetric wormhole geometries may, in principle, be constructed with infinitesimally small amounts of matter, violating the averaged null energy condition. Further, equilibrium forces and the complexity factor of the non-commutative distributed wormholes have also been explored.

description: We use a Mellin-Barnes integral representation for the Lerch transcendent $Φ(z,s,a)$ to obtain large $z$ asymptotic approximations. The simplest divergent asymptotic approximation terminates in the case that $s$ is an integer. For non-integer $s$ the asymptotic approximations consists of the sum of two series. The first one is in powers of $(\ln z)^{-1}$ and the second one is in powers of $z^{-1}$. Although the second series converges, it is completely hidden in the divergent tail of the first series. We use resummation and optimal truncation to make the second series visible.
The stochastic growth of metal whiskers

description: The phenomenon of spontaneously growing metal whiskers (MW) raises significant reliability concerns due to its related arcing and shorting in electric equipment. The growth kinetics of MW remains poorly predictable. Here we present a theory describing the earlier observed intermittent growth of MW as caused by local energy barriers related to variations in the random electric fields generated by surface imperfections. We find the probabilistic distribution of MW stopping times, during which MW growth halts, which is important for reliability projections.

description: Railguns are capable to far exceed the muzzle energies of current naval deck guns. Therefore one of the most promising scenario for the future application of railguns in naval warfare is the long range artillery. Hypervelocity projectiles being propelled to velocities above 2 km/s reach targets at distances of 200 km or more. At the French-German Research Institute the PEGASUS launcher is used for investigations with respect to this scenario. The 6 m long barrel has a square caliber of 40 mm. The power supply unit is able to deliver 10 MJ to the gun. Within this investigation, a complete launch package is being developed and experiments are performed that aim at showing that this package can be accelerated to velocities ranging from 2000 m/s to 2500 m/s. A launch package consists out of an armature, a sabot and the projectile. The armature ensures the electrical contact during launch and pushes the sabot with its payload through the barrel. The sabot guides and protects the payload during the acceleration. At the same time the accelerating forces generated at the armature needs to be transferred to the projectile. After the launch package has left the barrel, the sabot should open and release its payload, the projectile into free-flight. Here the current status of the launch package development and results from experiments with the PEGASUS railgun are presented.

description: Global 21-cm experiments are built to study the evolution of the Universe between the cosmic dawn and the epoch of reionisation. FlexKnot is a function parameterised by freely moving knots stringed together by splines. Adopting the FlexKnot function as the signal model has the potential to separate the global 21-cm signal from the foregrounds and systematics while being capable of recovering the crucial features given by theoretical predictions. In this paper, we implement the FlexKnot method by integrating twice over a function of freely moving knots interpolated linearly. The function is also constrained at the lower frequencies corresponding to the dark ages by theoretical values. The FlexKnot model is tested in the framework of the realistic data analysis pipeline of the REACH global signal experiment using simulated antenna temperature data. We demonstrate that the FlexKnot model performs better than existing signal models, e.g. the Gaussian signal model, at reconstructing the shape of the true signals present in the simulated REACH data, especially for injected signals with complex structures. The capabilities of the FlexKnot signal model is also tested by introducing various systematics and simulated global signals of different types. These tests show that four to five knots are sufficient to recover the general shape of most realistic injected signals, with or without sinusoidal systematics. We show that true signals whose absorption trough of amplitude between 120 to 450 mK can be well recovered with systematics up to about 50 mK.
