Hojas De Maiz
Creators: name: Sanchez, Roman
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2021

This novel is conceived as the first in a series of seven books. It takes place 25,000 years in humanity’s future, primarily on a space station - Laniakea Station - made from the combined cultures and habitations of beings from many galaxies outside our own. It floats eternal in the space between galaxies. It is a utopia of sorts. The novel is a series of connections between: Sainn-Temo, a human clone, grown from the genetic library rescued from the plight of interstellar slavery plaguing the human species; Ailu, a human woman born from actual human parents, stowed away on Laniakea; Swasim, a non-human mining executive attempting to sell off rights to the abandoned human solar system; and Revac, Ailu’s friend, a scientist of renowned fame and importance, inventor of a gene therapy that can stop the aging of living cells. These beings coalesce and bind together across space and time, leading to a discovery with profound consequences for the galaxy and the fate of humanity. The work is not just a sci-fi series but part of a wider universe I am creating across different artistic mediums. The series of works is called Hojas, or leaves. Over the next 2 years, as part of my PhD in anthropology, I will be constructing installation works, sculptures, video art, short stories, and interactive software art (video games!) to complement and build out the backstory leading up to the novel series. I hope for these works to engage participants and readers in co-creating a future mythology where brown and black bodies are triumphant, living well, and free. I will likely keep writing Hojas books until I die (unless we crack immortality!).
Wild Imminence
Creators: name: Peller, Beth
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2021

Wild Imminence is a series of prose poems taking the form of Deleuze and Guattari's Rhizomeengaging notions of destratification and lines of flight in a consciousness of place, queerness, language, intimacy, and the internal and external world as both ever fleeting and imbued with interlocking echoes. In this book, the idea of home is explored as a slippage of naming; referents that may signal belonging remain in flight. As such, the prose poems depart from one another and through theme, object and language alight again in systematic reverberation, reflecting both the desire to return to and impossibility to remain at terra ferma. Engaging color theory, Deleuze, ethnographic accounts of political violence and displacement, and the narrator's own experiences of love, family, and observations of a world in flux, struggling to be reborn, the poems are find ground in their own instability: that which is known can only be known in flight.

Boltzmann stochastic thermodynamics
Creators: name: de Oliveira, Mário J.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The Boltzmann kinetic equation is obtained from an integro-differential master equation that describes a stochastic dynamics in phase space of an isolated thermodynamic system. The stochastic evolution yields a generation of entropy, leading to an increase of Gibbs entropy, in contrast to a Hamiltonian dynamics, described by the Liouville equation, for which the entropy is constant in time. By considering transition rates corresponding to collisions of two particles, the Boltzmann equation is attained. When the angle of the scattering produced by collisions is small, the master equation is shown to be reduced to a differential equation of the Fokker-Planck type. When the dynamics is of the Hamiltonian type, the master equation reduces to the Liouville equation. The present approach is understood as a stochastic interpretation of the reasonings employed by Maxwell and Boltzmann in the kinetic theory of gases regarding the microscopic time evolution.
The Shapes You Leave Behind
Creators: name: Eleby, Hasret
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst

This novel is a family saga that follows Gülsün and her two daughters Sevda and Eda-Eva, who are half-sisters. Gülsün agrees to an arranged marriage with Haydar, a factory worker in Germany, and immigrates from her small village in Turkey to Germany. From this marriage Sevda is born. When she is old enough for kindergarten, Gülsün attends a German language course. She falls in love with the German instructor, Günther, and they begin an affair. Gülsün finds out that she is pregnant and abandons Sevda to live with Günther, who moves them to the outskirts of the city where Haydar cannot find her. Haydar, feeling emasculated and unable to take care of five-year-old Sevda, sends her to his family in Turkey for a couple of years. In a moment of intoxication, Gülsün sets out to reclaim Sevda and to unite her with her half-sister Eda-Eva, who knows nothing about Sevda’s existence. Gülsün, having chosen to follow the riverbank to reach the old apartment where she once lived, falls into the river and drowns. To connect Eda-Eva to her mother’s roots, Günther moves them to the city close to the Turkish community, where she makes friends with Sinem and realizes that she is queer. Years later on a train, Sevda and Eda-Eva meet and become friends, unaware of their connection. As their friendship deepens, the two fall in love. Both girls are desperate to leave their homes (Günther has built a new family for himself, in which Eda-Eva feels like a third wheel. Haydar has remarried a woman from his village back home, who takes out her sadness of infertility on Sevda). Eda-Eva suggests they move to the house in the outskirts, where she used to live with her mother. They arrive at the house that holds Gülsün’s memories in the basement. Lying in bed, the two create a fantasy of a future life together, although the truth becomes more and more undeniable to Sevda.

Signature of Dynamical Heterogeneity in Spatial Correlations of Particle Displacement and its Temporal Evolution in Supercooled Liquids

description: The existence of heterogeneity in the dynamics of supercooled liquids is believed to be one of the hallmarks of the glass transition. Intense research has been carried out in the past to understand the origin of this heterogeneity in dynamics and a possible length scale associated with it. We have done extensive molecular dynamics simulations of few model glass-forming liquids in three dimensions to understand the temporal evolution of the dynamic heterogeneity and the heterogeneity length scale. We find that although the strength of the dynamic heterogeneity is maximum at a timescale close to characteristic $α$-relaxation time of the system, dynamic heterogeneity itself is well-developed at timescale as short as $β$-relaxation time and survives up to a timescale as long as few tens of $α$-relaxation time. Moreover, we discovered that temperature dependence of heterogeneity length remains the same in the whole time window although its absolute value changes over time in a non-monotonic manner.
Tests of the random phase approximation for transition strengths

Subjects: subject: Nuclear Theory (nucl-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We investigate the reliability of transition strengths computed in the random-phase approximation (RPA), comparing with exact results from diagonalization in full $0\hbarω$ shell-model spaces. The RPA and shell-model results are in reasonable agreement for most transitions; however some very low-lying collective transitions, such as isoscalar quadrupole, are in serious disagreement. We suggest the failure lies with incomplete restoration of broken symmetries in the RPA. Furthermore we prove, analytically and numerically, that standard statements regarding the energy-weighted sum rule in the RPA do not hold if an exact symmetry is broken.

description: It is well known that the Zee model induces small neutrino masses by radiative corrections, where the bi-maximal flavor mixing is possible. We analyze the cosmological condition in order for the baryon asymmetry generated in the early universe not to be washed out in the Zee model. Since the lepton number is violated explicitly in the Zee model, the baryon asymmetry might be washed out through the sphaleron processes together with the lepton-number violating interactions. In this letter, we will show that the baryon asymmetry is {\it not} washed out, although it has been said that the Zee model cannot preserve the baryon asymmetry generated in the early universe. This can be seen by considering an approximately conserved number, $L' \equiv L_e-L_μ-L_τ$.

description: Determinant Quantum Monte Carlo (DQMC) provides numerically exact solutions for strongly correlated fermionic systems but faces significant computational challenges with increasing system size. While submatrix updates were originally developed for Hirsch-Fye QMC with onsite interactions at finite temperatures [Phys. Rev. B 80, 195111 (2009)], their comprehensive application in DQMC has remained unexplored despite noted algorithmic similarities. We present the first comprehensive application of submatrix updates in DQMC, significantly extending beyond the original scope by enabling simulations with extended interactions and at zero temperature. Building upon conventional fast updates and delay updates, our generalized implementation achieves an order-of-magnitude improvement in computational efficiency, enabling simulations of the half-filled Hubbard model on lattices up to 8,000 sites - a scale previously challenging with standard DQMC implementations. This enhanced computational capability allows us to accurately determine the finite-temperature phase diagram of the 3D Hubbard model at half-filling. Our findings not only shed light on the phase transitions within these complex systems but also pave the way for more effective simulations of strongly correlated electrons, potentially guiding experimental efforts in cold atom simulations of the 3D Hubbard model.

description: The primary mechanism of operation of almost all transistors today relies on electric-field effect in a semiconducting channel to tune its conductivity from the conducting 'on'-state to a non-conducting 'off'-state. As transistors continue to scale down to increase computational performance, physical limitations from nanoscale field-effect operation begin to cause undesirable current leakage that is detrimental to the continued advancement of computing. Using a fundamentally different mechanism of operation, we show that through nanoscale strain engineering with thin films and ferroelectrics (FEs) the transition metal dichalcogenide (TMDC) MoTe$_2$ can be reversibly switched with electric-field induced strain between the 1T'-MoTe$_2$ (semimetallic) phase to a semiconducting MoTe$_2$ phase in a field effect transistor geometry. This alternative mechanism for transistor switching sidesteps all the static and dynamic power consumption problems in conventional field-effect transistors (FETs). Using strain, we achieve large non-volatile changes in channel conductivity (G$_{on}$/G$_{off}$~10$^7$ vs. G$_{on}$/G$_{off}$~0.04 in the control device) at room temperature. Ferroelectric devices offer the potential to reach sub-ns nonvolatile strain switching at the attojoule/bit level, having immediate applications in ultra-fast low-power non-volatile logic and memory while also transforming the landscape of computational architectures since conventional power, speed, and volatility considerations for microelectronics may no longer exist.

description: Objectives: To estimate the cost-utility of two trabecular micro-bypass stents (TBS) implantation vs standard of care (SOC) in patients with mild-to-moderate open-angle glaucoma (OAG) in the Canadian healthcare setting. Methods: The deterioration in visual field (VF) defect over a 15-year time horizon was tracked using a Markov model with Hodapp-Parrish-Anderson stages of glaucoma (mild, moderate, advanced, severe/blind) and death as health states. Meta-analyses of randomized clinical trials were conducted to estimate the pooled reduction in intraocular pressure (IOP) and medication use due to TBS and SOC. The rate of decline in VF loss was adjusted by the extent of IOP reduction to estimate transition probabilities. Healthcare resource utilization, unit costs (2017 CAD), and progression-related utility scores were obtained by literature review, and medication costs with wastage were obtained from IMS Brogan PharmaStat. The impact of parameter and methodological uncertainty on costs and quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) was examined using probabilistic and 1-way sensitivity analyses. Results: The meta-analysis showed an additional reduction of 1.13 medications/patient and an additional decrease in IOP of –1.10 mmHg at 36 months favoring TBS. TBS strongly dominated medication alone, due to higher improvement in quality-of-life (0.068 QALYs), fewer blind eyes (–0.0031), and a decrease in total healthcare costs of C$2,908.3 per patient over the time horizon (C$9,394.1 TBS vs C$12,302.4 medication alone). Sensitivity analyses showed that results were robust to the uncertainties in model inputs and assumptions. Time-to-dominance was 44 months (3.7 years). Conclusions: The TBS procedure was cost-effective over SOC in a 15-year time horizon, with quality-of-life gains.

description: Meeting summarization has become a critical task considering the increase in online interactions. While new techniques are introduced regularly, their evaluation uses metrics not designed to capture meeting-specific errors, undermining effective evaluation. This paper investigates what the frequently used automatic metrics capture and which errors they mask by correlating automatic metric scores with human evaluations across a broad error taxonomy. We commence with a comprehensive literature review on English meeting summarization to define key challenges like speaker dynamics and contextual turn-taking and error types such as missing information and linguistic inaccuracy, concepts previously loosely defined in the field. We examine the relationship between characteristic challenges and errors by using annotated transcripts and summaries from Transformer-based sequence-to-sequence and autoregressive models from the general summary QMSum dataset. Through experimental validation, we find that different model architectures respond variably to challenges in meeting transcripts, resulting in different pronounced links between challenges and errors. Current default-used metrics struggle to capture observable errors, showing weak to mid-correlations, while a third of the correlations show trends of error masking. Only a subset reacts accurately to specific errors, while most correlations show either unresponsiveness or failure to reflect the error's impact on summary quality.

description: In biological and engineering systems, structure, function and dynamics are highly coupled. Such interactions can be naturally and compactly captured via tensor based state space dynamic representations. However, such representations are not amenable to the standard system and controls framework which requires the state to be in the form of a vector. In order to address this limitation, recently a new class of multiway dynamical systems has been introduced in which the states, inputs and outputs are tensors. We propose a new form of multilinear time invariant (MLTI) systems based on the Einstein product and even-order paired tensors. We extend classical linear time invariant (LTI) system notions including stability, reachability and observability for the new MLTI system representation by leveraging recent advances in tensor algebra.

description: Using a semiclassical mean field theory, we show that the screening potential exhibits a characteristic radial variation in the tunneling region in sharp contrast to the assumption of the constant shift in all previous works. Also, we show that the explicit treatment of the tunneling region gives a larger screening energy than that in the conventional approach, which studies the time evolution only in the classical region and estimates the screening energy from the screening potential at the external classical turning point. This modification becomes important if the electronic state is not a single adiabatic state at the external turning point either by pre-tunneling transitions of the electronic state or by the symmetry of the system even if there is no essential change with the electronic state in the tunneling region.

description: If the Higgs mass m_H is as low as suggested by present experimental information, the Standard Model ground state might not be absolutely stable. We present a detailed analysis of the lower bounds on m_H imposed by the requirement that the electroweak vacuum be sufficiently long-lived. We perform a complete one-loop calculation of the tunnelling probability at zero temperature, and we improve it by means of two-loop renormalization-group equations. We find that, for m_H=115 GeV, the Higgs potential develops an instability below the Planck scale for m_t>(166\pm 2) GeV, but the electroweak vacuum is sufficiently long-lived for m_t < (175\pm 2) \GeV.

description: Ruderman-Kittel-Kasuya-Yosida interaction even if their wave functions lack direct overlap. Theory predicts that spin-orbit scattering leads to a Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya type enhancement of this indirect exchange interaction, giving rise to chiral exchange terms. Here we present a combined spin-polarized scanning tunneling microscopy, angle-resolved photoemission, and density functional theory study of MnO$_2$ chains on Ir(100). Whereas we find antiferromagnetic Mn--Mn coupling along the chain, the inter-chain coupling across the non-magnetic Ir substrate turns out to be chiral with a $120^{\circ}$ rotation between adjacent MnO$_2$ chains. Calculations reveal that the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction results in spin spirals with a periodicity in agreement with experiment. Our findings confirm the existence of indirect chiral magnetic exchange, potentially giving rise to exotic phenomena, such as chiral spin-liquid states in spin ice systems or the emergence of new quasiparticles.

description: Forty years ago Witten suggested that dark matter could be composed of macroscopic clusters of strange quark matter. This idea was very popular for several years, but it dropped out of fashion once lattice QCD calculations indicated that the confinement/deconfinement transition, at small baryonic chemical potential, is not first order, which seemed to be a crucial requirement in order to produce large clusters of quarks. Here we revisit the conditions under which strangelets can be produced in the Early Universe. We discuss the impact of an instability in the hadronic phase separating a low density, positive-strange-charge phase from a high-density phase with a negative strange charge. This second phase can rapidly stabilize by forming color-superconducting gaps. The strangelets then undergo partial evaporation. In this way, we obtain distributions of their sizes in agreement with the observational constraints and we discuss the many astrophysical and cosmological implications of these objects. Finally, we examine the most promising techniques to detect this type of strangelets. We also show that strangelets can exist with masses $\lesssim10^{17} \mathrm g$, while primordial black holes are ruled out in that mass range, allowing us to distinguish between these two dark matter candidates.

description: We have measured the ratio R=Gamma(Ks -> pi+pi-gamma)/Gamma(Ks -> pi0pi0) with the KLOE detector at the DAFNE e+e- collider. This measurement is fully inclusive with respect to the pi+pi-gamma final state. The sample of over 10^6 two-pion decays of tagged Ks mesons allows a statistical error as low as 0.1% to be obtained. The accuracy is limited by systematic uncertainties, which are estimated primarily from data. We find R=2.236 +/- 0.003(stat) +/- 0.015(syst).

description: The current era of drug discovery has been marked by a significant increase in the development of immune modulating agents to address a range of diseases such as cancer, chronic inflammation, and other conditions of dysregulated immunity. Non-clinical evaluation of these agents in animal models can be challenging, as the presence of an active immune state is often required in order to detect the effects of the test agent. Modulation of interleukin (IL)-10 signaling represents this type of situation in that altering IL-10 action in vivo can be difficult to appreciate in the absence of an ongoing immune response. The study presented here reports on the use of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) challenge in cynomolgus macaques to induce predictable inflammatory cytokine responses. The results showed that IL-10 receptor (IL-10R) blockade with an antagonist monoclonal antibody (mAb) dramatically enhanced the LPS-induced cytokine response, thus demonstrating in vivo pharmacologic activity of this immunomodulatory antibody. We submit that this approach could be applied to other cases where the intent of a candidate therapeutic is to modulate components of inflammatory cytokine responses.

description: The MONUMENT experiment measures ordinary muon capture (OMC) on isotopes relevant for neutrinoless double-beta (0$νββ$) decay and nuclear astrophysics. OMC is a particularly attractive tool for improving the theoretical description of 0$νββ$ decay. It involves similar momentum transfers and allows testing the virtual transitions involved in 0$νββ$ decay against experimental data. During the 2021 campaign, MONUMENT measured OMC on $^{76}$Se and $^{136}$Ba, the isotopes relevant for next-generation 0$νββ$ decay searches, like LEGEND and nEXO. The experimental setup has been designed to accurately extract the total and partial muon capture rates, which requires precise reconstruction of energies and time-dependent intensities of the OMC-related $γ$ rays. The setup also includes a veto counter system to allow selecting a clean sample of OMC events. This work provides a detailed description of the MONUMENT setup operated during the 2021 campaign, its two DAQ systems, calibration and analysis approaches, and summarises the achieved detector performance. Future improvements are also discussed.

description: It is commonly accepted that a collection of pumped atoms without a resonator, which provides feedback, cannot lase. We show that intermodal coupling via active atoms pulls the frequencies of the free-space modes towards the transition frequency of the atoms. Although at a low pump rate mode phases randomly fluctuate, phase realizations at which interference of pulled modes is constructive emerge. This results in an increase of stimulated emission into such realizations and makes their lifetime longer. Thus, mode pulling provides positive feedback. When the pump rate exceeds a certain threshold, the lifetime of one of the realizations diverges, and radiation becomes coherent.

description: We analyze the structure of the Coulomb and unitarity corrections to the single pair production as well as the cross section for the multiple pair production. In the external field approximation we consider the probability of $e^+e^-$ pair production at fixed impact parameter $ρ$ between colliding ultra-relativistic heavy nuclei. We obtain the analytical result for this probability at large $ρ$ as compared to the electron Compton wavelength. We estimate also the unitary corrections to the total cross section of the process.

Edie Meidav convinced me to start a new project. Work on something longer, she suggested. Full of faith, she challenged me to write about what felt most urgent. I thought of Will—a main character who asks questions. My intention became to interrogate the mid-senior-year mindset of a high school student. Barely adults, on the cusp of making the most significant choices of their lives, feeling both that they have all the information they need and that the world is a farce to be retooled as desired, individuals at this age possess all the budding versions of the same neuroses people carry into their nineties. For my own trajectory as a young adult, this stage coincided with the adaptation of the internet. The world’s variety then became more accessible, much faster to find, and without limits. Taking authority and norms at face value seemed like one of the most ignorant things anyone could do. In the early days of the writing, I saw a major conflict developing in Will: not wanting to jump through the hoops laid out for him, but wanting the prizes—love, recognition, and friendship—found on the other side. Ultimately, I want to remind the reader of their ability to hold two conflicting ideas simultaneously, like the feeling that accompanies the death of someone close: in an instant, despite us all being equally human, all the prior needs of the deceased suddenly hold so much more significance, and all our personal prior needs seem suddenly selfish, worth nothing at all. To be transparent: you are reading work realized from elements of my own experiences to create composite characters and events I hope still ring true. Despite the loose strings to reality, I want to be clear: this is entirely a work of fiction.

Nuclear structure, form factors, quadrupole moments, and electronuclear sum rules
Creators: name: Koo, Wee Kor
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1978
Subjects: subject: Nuclear structure
subject: Quadrupole moments
subject: Electromagnetic theory

description: Nuclear structure properties are here studied through the use of linear energy weighted sum rules. Electronuclear energy weighted sum rules are derived by considering the double commutator of various single-particle operators, G(α) , with the nuclear hamiltonian H , that is S(αß) = [G(α), [H, G(ß)]] . Neglecting any contributing nuclear forces, various specific sum rules are shown, with particular emphasis on the angular momentum projected ones for transitions between arbitrary states. The possibility of generating a hierachy of sum rules by using the commutators S(αßγ) = [G(γ) , [H, S(αß]] , S(αßγλ) = [G(A), [H, S(αßγ)]], ... is suggested. From the linear energy weighted sum rules, selection rules for the matrix elements connecting perfect giant electric multipole states to other states in even nuclei are obtained. In addition, in the appropriate limits, matrix element relations which reflect upon the harmonic vibrational model are also obtained. The problem of centre of mass motion effects is treated in detail and cumbersome expressions are obtained. However comparatively simple bounds are possible for the pure multipole moment and pure form factor sum rules. A method for studying the transition form factors is rigorously formalized through the use of a representation of an identity operator for a restricted set of non-orthogonal states. The formalism is now applicable to both isoscalar and isovector transitions and it is of potential use in electron excitation. Various consequences are indicated. It is proved that the longitudinal multipole form factor cannot be factorized into a product of momentum transfer and a function of excitation energy over the entire range of momentum transfer. The possible ambiguity arising out of some present methods of giant resonance identification is shown, the magnitude estimated, and a suggestion made to verify the reality of the reported new giant resonances. For even nuclei, formulae are derived for calculating the quadrupole moments of the excited states, in particular the 2⁺ states. Calculated results for a wide variety of nuclei are compared with experiments and very good agreements are obtained. The possibility of model independent extraction of quadrupole moment from electron scattering is also indicated.
