Effects of new physics in neutrino oscillations in matter
Creators: name: Campanelli, Mario
name: Romanino, Andrea
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2002
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A new flavor changing electron neutrino interaction with matter would always dominate the nu_e oscillation probability at sufficiently high neutrino energies. Being suppressed by theta_{13}, the energy scale at which the new effect starts to be relevant may be within the reach of realistic experiments, where the peculiar dependence of the signal with energy could give rise to a clear signature in the nu_e --> nu_tau channel. The latter could be observed by means of a coarse large magnetized detector by exploiting tau --> mu decays. We discuss the possibility of identifying or constraining such effects with a high energy neutrino factory. We also comment on the model independent limits on them.

description: This dissertation is a study of the construction of the ‘illegality’ of migration in the Central Mediterranean region from the mid-twentieth century to the present across genres, disciplines and media. Reading a heterogenous set of sources ranging from film to poetry and from parliamentary debates to legal opinions, this dissertation posits the ‘illegality’ of human mobility as a process and not an ontological trait, demonstrating its fluidity and tracking some of its most salient changes over time. Moreover, it argues that these notions of ‘illegality,’ which developed and are interrogated in legal discourse and aesthetic practices, are significantly altered as they circulate across linguistic boundaries even though they continue to be understood as stable and neutral labels. They form a grammar of illegalization the contested semantics of which are simultaneously national and transnational. This dissertation finally suggests that we understand the illegalization of migration as a multilingual object that is written and constructed across multiple discourses and disciplines, and asks that we tend to its grammar as a way to denaturalize and, eventually, attempt to rewrite the ‘illegality’ of human mobility.

description: We investigate the behavior of the residence times density function for different nonlinear dynamical systems with limit cycle behavior and perturbed parametrically with a colored noise. We present evidence that underlying the stochastic resonancelike behavior with the noise correlation time, there is an effect of optimal localization of the system trajectories in the phase space. This phenomenon is observed in systems with different nonlinearities, suggesting a degree of universality.

Nonperturbative Instability of Black Holes in Quantum Gravity

description: The decay rate for a black hole to decay nonperturbatively via tunneling is shown to be related to the Bekenstein-Hawking black hole entropy $S_{bh}$. This new physical interpretation of the black hole entropy was presented first in 1988 in this paper. I quote here the relevant statement: ``It should be noticed that the decay rate of a black hole due to nonperturbative instability is proportional to $\exp(-S_{bh}$, where $S_{bh}$ is the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy. This seems to indicate that the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy is the measure of the ability of a black hole to disappear from our Universe in the one quantum jump, with the simultaneous production of particles carrying away its total energy.''

description: One of the main goals of NA61/SHINE is the investigation of the phase diagram of strongly interacting matter. NA61/SHINE observes collisions of various nuclei at different energies, allowing to study the same phenomena and observables in vastly different conditions. One of the observables related to the quark-hadron transition is the Bose-Einstein momentum correlation function of identical pions, related to the space-time structure of pion emission. In this paper we report on such measurements in Be+Be collisions at an SPS beam momentum of 150A GeV/c. Our correlation functions can be statistically well described with Levy-distributed sources, hence we also study the mT dependence of the Levy source parameters, and discuss their possible interpretations.

The Multilateral Standard of Review: Export Restrictions, GATT Exceptions and Exemptions

description: This dissertation argues for the adoption of a new interpretative standard that urges the WTO adjudicator to explicitly take account of the economic heterogeneity of the WTO Membership when construing exemption provisions in the GATT 1994. In particular, the judicial decision maker should construe and interpret exemption provisions using the embedded standard of review, such that the Member States’ economic conditions enlighten the contextual interpretation of the language of the provision. This multilateral standard of review compels the adjudicator to accord conditional deference to developmental policies, as applied by a Member State in expression of its preferred economic strategy to expand the trade and production of goods and services. This dissertation examines the history of the standard of review in the GATT 1947 and GATT 1994 in order to critically examine its application to the construction and interpretation of the exemption provision of Article XI:2(a) GATT 1994. The proposed multilateral standard of review overcomes the post-modern critique of judicial practice by emphasizing the collaborative intent of the Membership, as revealed through the adjudicator’s understanding of the object and purpose of the agreement.

description: We report optical and infrared observations of the X-ray source CXOGBS J174623.5-310550. This Galactic object was identified as a potential quiescent low-mass X-ray binary accreting from an M-type donor on the basis of optical spectroscopy and the broad Halpha emission line. The analysis of X-shooter spectroscopy covering 3 consecutive nights supports an M2/3-type spectral classification. Neither radial velocity variations nor rotational broadening is detected in the photospheric lines. No periodic variability is found in I- and r'-band light curves. We derive r' = 20.8, I = 19.2 and Ks = 16.6 for the optical and infrared counterparts with the M-type star contributing 90% to the I-band light. We estimate its distance to be 1.3-1.8 kpc. The lack of radial velocity variations implies that the M-type star is not the donor star in the X-ray binary. This could be an interloper or the outer body in a hierarchical triple. We constrain the accreting binary to be a < 2.2 hr orbital period eclipsing cataclysmic variable or a low-mass X-ray binary lying in the foreground of the Galactic Bulge.

The Museum and the Laboratory: Classical Music as Stimuli for the Design of Pedagogical Strategies for Improvisation

Year: 2020
Subjects: Music--Instruction and study

description: The purpose of this collaborative inquiry (CI) dissertation study was to examine pedagogical strategies designed to open Western classical music to improvisation. Piano teacher-participants formed a collaborative inquiry cohort as co-researchers to design and implement pedagogical strategies for use with their piano students, ages 8 to 10. Improvisation appears to occupy a limited role in practices commonly associated with Western classical music. Since the body of evidence found in Western music history and performance practice reveals traditions that encompassed improvisation, this study was designed to challenge existing pedagogical models associated with Western classical music through experimentation and improvisation. The prior attitudes and practices of the three participants were assessed through introductory interviews, as well as the collection of videos of teaching practices and preliminary survey data. Three two-hour in-person sessions of the cohort took place, interspersed with interviews and the sharing of video excerpts and co-researcher memos and blogs in an online forum on Canvas. During in-person sessions of the cohort, pedagogical strategies were designed and revisited through reflection following participants’ teaching experiences in their piano studios. Participants explored musical improvisation within a creative community by investigating the processes and experiences of treating Western classical music as an impetus to creative thought and improvisatory realization by their students. Findings illuminate patterns of interaction that illustrate the function of strategies for musical creativity and the applicability to pedagogical practices. Several overarching themes, addressing the purpose of the study, emerged through my analysis of data, pertaining to the dynamic nature of music, call and response as formative, and knowledge and novelty as means and ends. Participants demonstrated distinct operational definitions of improvisation, each of which appeared to connect to a model of awareness and responsiveness through the expression of interrelated themes. Whether spontaneously generated or chosen intentionally, limitations promoted improvisation as the exploration of novelty, advancing and emanating from a knowledge base. By revealing pedagogical practices that demonstrate heuristic models for experimentation through variability practices, this study illuminates patterns of interaction that open works of musical art to the sociocultural activity of improvisation, through which a multiplicity of meanings can take form.

description: We develop a dual-purpose damage model (DPDM) that can simultaneously model intralayer damage (ply failure) and interlayer damage (delamination) as an alternative to conventional practices that models ply failure by continuum damage mechanics (CDM) and delamination by cohesive elements. From purely computational point of view, if successful, the proposed approach will significantly reduce computational cost by eliminating the need for having double nodes at ply interfaces. At the core, DPDM is based on the regularized continuum damage mechanics approach with vectorial representation of damage and ellipsoidal damage surface. Shear correction factors are introduced to match the mixed mode fracture toughness of an analytical cohesive zone model. A predictor-corrector local-nonlocal regularization scheme, which treats intralayer portion of damage as nonlocal and interlayer damage as local, is developed and verified. Two variants of the DPDM are studied: a single- and two- scale DPDM. For the two-scale DPDM, reduced-order-homogenization (ROH) framework is employed with matrix phase modeled by the DPDM while the inclusion phase modeled by the CDM. The proposed DPDM is verified on several multi-layer laminates with various ply orientations including double-cantilever beam (DCB), end-notch-flexure (ENF), mixed-mode-bending (MMB), and three-point-bending (TPB). The simulation is executed in the platform of FOOF (Finite element solver based on Object-Oriented Fortran).
      The objective of FOOF is to develop a new architecture of the nonlinear multiphysics finite element code in object oriented Fortran environment. The salient features of FOOF are reusability, extensibility, and performance. Computational efficiency stems from the intrinsic optimization of numerical computing intrinsic to Fortran, while reusability and extensibility is inherited from the support of object-oriented programming style in Fortran 2003 and its later versions. The shortcomings of the object oriented style in Fortran 2003 (in comparison to C++) are alleviated by introducing the class hierarchy and by utilizing a multilevel programming style.

description: This dissertation examines the mediation of the public’s encounters with recordings of field hollers, work songs, and blues music collected by the folklorists John and Alan Lomax in prisons of the U.S. South from the 1930s to the 1950s. These recordings have, over the years, reached audiences through numerous songbooks and commercial recordings and have become important documents of the musical and cultural heritage of the United States. At the same time, they raise important issues about prison labor, the profits and practices of ethnography, and the racial politics amplifying both of these issues, given that they were collected by white folklorists and primarily feature the voices of Black men incarcerated in segregated prisons. I trace the histories of the recordings’ acquisition, management, and dissemination—histories that involve not only the Lomaxes and the people whose voices are recorded, but also a variety of individual and institutional agents including prison administrators, public research facilities, non-governmental charitable organizations, and commercial corporations. I argue that these individuals and institutions have dealt with the Lomax prison recordings in a manner that has both responded to and shaped discourses about incarceration, race, gender, class, and morality in the United States. Over four chapters, I track the changing status of the recordings between 1933, when the Lomaxes first traveled to prisons and, in many ways, set the standard for prison song collection going forward, and the present day, when questions of musical heritage, justice, and repatriation largely motivate discussions around the collection and its management. My focus on this changing status over a span of nearly a century requires me to take approaches throughout: extensive archival research, historiographic examination, musical analysis, and an inquiry into heritage studies, among others.
The Musical Design of Greek Tragedy

description: The musical analysis of Greek tragedy has traditionally been limited to studies of meter and metatheatrical language. This dissertation seeks to establish a new approach to ancient dramatic song by demonstrating that the linguistic pitch accents of tragic lyrics often trace the melodic contours of their lost musical settings. In the papyri and inscriptions that preserve music notation alongside Greek lyrics, intonation and melody are often coordinated according to set principles, which are well established by previous scholarship. Through the creation of software that applies these historical principles to tragic texts, I demonstrate that stanzas sung to the same melody are significantly more similar in their accentual contours than control groups that do not share a melody. In many instances, the accents of these paired texts consistently trace the same pitch contours, allowing us to reconstruct the shape of the original melody with a high degree of confidence.After a general introduction, the dissertation’s first two chapters address the historical basis for this approach. Chapter 1 reviews the evidence for the musical structure of tragic song, confirming the widely held view that paired stanzas were generally set to the same melody. Chapter 2 turns to the evidence for the role of pitch accents in ancient Greek song, including the ancient testimony and musical documents, and a computational study of accent patterns across all the lyrics of Aeschylus’ surviving tragedies. The methodology developed in these first two chapters is applied in two case studies, in which I reconstruct and interpret the accentual melodies of select tragic lyrics. Chapter 3 analyzes the musical design of the chorus’ entrance song in Aeschylus’ Agamemnon, along with sections of the Kommos from Choephori. In both cases, I argue, melody would play an integral role in highlighting the themes of repetition and reversal within the Oresteia. Chapter 4 turns to the music of Euripides’ Medea, a play that has been central to previous discussions of accent in tragic music. Reading the lyrics and accentual melodies within the framework of musical history as understood in the fifth century bce, I argue that Euripides uses a contrast between ‘old’ and ‘new’ melodic styles to position his chorus at a turning point within literary history. In the dissertation’s final chapter, I address the reception of Medea’s music in a fragmentary comedy, the so-called Alphabet Tragedy of Callias. Together, these interpretive chapters provide a template for future work applying methods of musical analysis to the accentual melodies of ancient Greek song.

description: This dissertation traces the reception of Greek mathematics by practicing mathematicians in England and France, ca. 1580-1680. The period begins with the newly widespread availability of works by Pappus, Apollonius, and Diophantus; it concludes with the invention of calculus by Isaac Newton and Gottfried Leibniz. The dissertation focuses on a philological imaginary created by François Viète (fl. 1580-1600) that I call “the myth of Greek algebra”: the belief that the ancient Greek geometers concealed their heuristic method and only presented their results. This belief helped mathematicians accommodate ancient Greek works to their own mathematical ends; it helped mathematicians sustain the relevance of Greek texts for their own inventions. My study focuses on Viète, Rene Descartes, John Wallis, Isaac Newton, and Gottfried Leibniz: I show how these mathematicians continually renovated the relationship between ancient and modern mathematics in order to maintain continuity between their discoveries and the past. In order to do so, I argue, they became increasingly conscious of their professional identity as mathematicians, and they asserted their unique right—over philologists and philosophers—to interpret ancient mathematical texts. Mathematical community with the ancients was purchased at the cost of community with one’s non-mathematical contemporaries.

description: This work offers for analysis the discrepancy between the perceived and actual performance of multifamily real estate submarkets of major metropolises. The research encompasses a case study of nine submarkets in New York City, NY: Bronx County, Kings County (Brooklyn), Midtown West, Morningside Heights/Washington Heights, Queens County, Stuyvesant/Turtle Bay, the Upper East Side, the Upper West Side, and the West Village/Downtown. Two of these submarkets are scrutinized in particular: the Bronx and the Upper East Side. An examination of each market’s capitalization rates (between 2002 and 2016) serve to illustrate investor perceptions of these markets’ risk and growth metrics whereas rental and vacancy rates (between 1995 and 2016) are offered to elucidate the actual performance of markets judged by these same metrics. A review of each market’s returns between 2002 and 2016 is also given. The inconsistencies between CAP rates (perceptions) and rents/vacancies (reality) in these neighborhoods evoke the biases and misconceptions commonly purveyed in the real estate investment community and, to a degree, the potential pitfalls and flaws in traditional valuation methodologies applied to investment securities more generally.

description: Both in atomic physics and in mesoscopic physics it is sometimes interesting to consider the energy time-dependence of a parametrically-driven chaotic system. We assume an Hamiltonian ${\cal H}(Q,P;x(t))$ where $x(t)=Vt$. The velocity $V$ is slow in the classical sense but not necessarily in the quantum-mechanical sense. The crossover (in time) from ballistic to diffusive energy-spreading is studied. The associated irreversible growth of the average energy has the meaning of dissipation. It is found that a dimensionless velocity $v_{PR}$ determines the nature of the dynamics, and controls the route towards quantal-classical correspondence (QCC). A perturbative regime and a non-perturbative semiclassical regime are distinguished.

description: We present results from a study of TESS observations of the eclipsing dwarf nova system Z Cha, covering both an outburst and a superoutburst. We discover that Z Cha undergoes hysteretic loops in eclipse depth - out-of-eclipse flux space in both the outburst and the superoutburst. The direction that these loops are executed in indicates that the disk size increases during an outburst before the mass transfer rate through the disk increases, placing constraints on the physics behind the triggering of outbursts and superoutbursts. By fitting the signature of the superhump period in a flux-phase diagram, we find the rate at which this period decreases in this system during a superoutburst for the first time. We find that the superhumps in this source skip evolutionary stage "A" seen during most dwarf nova superoutbursts, even though this evolutionary stage has been seen during previous superoutbursts of the same object. Finally, O-C values of eclipses in our sample are used to calculate new ephemerides for the system, strengthening the case for a third body in Z Cha and placing new constraints on its orbit.

description: The dynamics of the pseudo-Newtonian restricted four-body problem has been studied in the present paper, where the primaries have equal masses. The parametric variation of the existence as well as the position of the libration points are determined, when the value of the transition parameter $ε\in [0, 1]$. The stability of these libration points has also been discussed. Our study reveals that the Jacobi constant as well as transition parameter $ε$ have substantial effect on the regions of possible motion, where the fourth body is free to move. The multivariate version of Newton-Raphson iterative scheme is introduced for determining the basins of attraction in the configuration $(x,y)$ plane. A systematic numerical investigation is executed to reveal the influence of the transition parameter on the topology of the basins of convergence. In parallel, the required number of iterations is also noted to show its correlations to the corresponding basins of convergence. It is unveiled that the evolution of the attracting regions in the pseudo-Newtonian restricted four-body problem is a highly complicated yet worth studying problem.

description: Raja Krishnacandra Ray (1710-1782) was a relatively high-ranking aristocrat in eastern India who emerged as a local culture hero during the nineteenth century. He became renowned as Bengal's preeminent patron of Sanskrit and as an ardent champion of goddess worship who established the region's famous puja festivals, patronized major innovations in vernacular literature, and revived archaic Vedic sacrifices while pursuing an archconservative agenda as leader of Hindu society in the area. He is even alleged in certain circles to have orchestrated a conspiracy that birthed British colonialism in South Asia, and humorous tales starring his court jester are ubiquitous wherever Bengali is spoken. This dissertation explores the process of myth-making as it coalesced around Krishncandra in the early modern period, emphasizing the roles played by classical ideals of Hindu kingship and print culture as well as both colonial and nationalist historiography.

description: Both artists and business executives state the importance of intuition in their professional practice. Current research suggests that intuition plays a significant role in cognition, decision-making, and creativity. Intuitive perception is beneficial to management, entrepreneurship, learning, medical diagnosis, healing, spiritual growth, and overall well-being, and is furthermore, more accurate than deliberative thought under complex conditions. Accordingly, acquiring intuitive faculties seems indispensable amid present day’s fast-paced multifaceted society and growing complexity.
      Today, there is an overall rising interest in intuition and an existing pool of research on intuition in management, but interestingly an absence of research on intuition in the field of art. This qualitative-phenomenological study explores the experience of intuition in both professional practices in order to show comparability and extend the base of intuition, while at the same time revealing what is unique about its emergence in art practice.
      Data gathered from semi-structured interviews and online-journals provided the participants’ experience of intuition and are presented through individual portraits, including an introduction to their work, their worldview, and the experiences of intuition in their lives and professional practice. Framing outcomes through concepts of psychology, neuroscience, philosophy, theology, noetic sciences, quantum physics, metaphysics, and art theory, resulted in the emergence of five themes that offered perspectives on the purpose of intuition, optimum conditions for intuiting, spiritual aspects of intuition, conduits for intuitive knowledge, and suggested connections between art and intuition.
      The findings of the study suggest that the artists experienced heightened levels of intuition that the business executives did not. Data indicate that experiences of intuition are enhanced through methods of quieting the mind, which can be found in Eastern practices and that show similarities to processes in art practice, such as transcendence, focus, non-attachment, visualization, a body-mind-spirit connection, and intention. The findings suggest that distinct qualities of art practice allow for alternative knowledge-making methods that can create preferable conditions for intuition to flourish in art education, such as generating inclusive dialog, increasing self-awareness, processing emotions, developing focus, refining the senses, and fostering ethicality, all of which may awaken and strengthen abilities of intuition.

description: In many gauge theories at different values of parameters entering Lagrangian, the vacuum is dominated by coherent condensates of different mutually non-local fields (for instance, by condensates of electric or magnetic charges, or by various dyons). It is argued that the transition between these "dual to each other" phases proceeds through the intermediate "mixed phase", having qualitatively different features. The examples considered include: ordinary YM, N=1 SYM, N=1 SQCD, and broken N=2 SYM and SQCD.

Noise-free Stochastic Resonance in Simple Chaotic Systems

Subjects: subject: Chaotic Dynamics (nlin.CD)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The phenomenon of Stochastic Resonance (SR) is reported in a completely noise-free situation, with the role of thermal noise being taken by low-dimensional chaos. A one-dimensional, piecewise linear map and a pair of coupled excitatory-inhibitory neurons are the systems used for the investigation. Both systems show a transition from symmetry-broken to symmetric chaos on varying a system parameter. In the latter state, the systems switch between the formerly disjoint attractors due to the inherent chaotic dynamics. This switching rate is found to ``resonate'' with the frequency of an externally applied periodic perturbation (either parametric or additive). The existence of a resonance in the response of the system is characterized in terms of the residence-time distributions. The results are an unambiguous indicator of the presence of SR-like behavior in these systems. Analytical investigations supporting the observations are also presented. The results have implications in the area of information processing in biological systems.

The Myth of the "A-List" Creative Team: Why Past Commercial Success Should Not Be a Factor in Putting Together the Creative Team of a Broadway Musical
Creators: Bogner, Andrew Ryan
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2015
Subjects: Theater

description: In exploring the phenomenon of the myth of established artists being a safer
choice and giving a show a greater chance of success, we will first look first at the history of the form, showing that prior to the 1990s there was a small and insular group of artists that drove the success engine of new Broadway musicals, with more frequent and consistent success. We will examine this earlier period by delving into an exhaustive quantitative study produced in 2005. Then, in an effort to explore the recent history and the counterintuitive and unusual fact that all profitable new Broadway musicals in the period examined had new blood on the creative team, the paper will explore the factual realities of the current and more recent landscape of new Broadway musicals, examining the track records of commercial success of producers, directors, choreographers and writers in the period between Grand Hotel and Aladdin.The paper will also look at instances in which producers dipped into the same creative well and were not successful, as well as examine the careers of some of the most successful producers of new Broadway musicals in recent years, looking for suggestions as far as how to approach the creation of creative teams for new musicals, without using commercial track record as the primary benchmark. Finally, we will explore some of the reasons why working with new talent is often preferable in creating a successful commercial Broadway product.
Wave Function for the Reissner-Nordström Black-Hole

description: We study the quantum behaviour of Reissner-Nordström (RN) black-holes interacting with a complex scalar field. A Maxwell field is also present. Our analysis is based on M. Pollock's method and is characterized by solving a Wheeler-DeWitt equation in the proximity of an apparent horizon of the RN space-time. Subsequently, we obtain a wave-function $Ψ_{RN}[M, Q]$ representing the RN black-hole when its charge, $\mid Q \mid$, is small in comparison with its mass, $M$. We then compare quantum-mechanically the cases of $(i)$ $Q = 0$ and $(ii)$ $M \geq \mid Q \mid \neq 0 $. A special emphasis is given to the evolution of the mass-charge rate affected by Hawking radiation.

description: Recent realisation of three-dimensional optical lattice clocks circumvents short range collisional clock shifts which have been the bottle neck towards higher precision; the long range electronic dipole-dipole interaction between the atoms becomes the primary source of clock shift due to interatomic interactions. We study the Rabi spectroscopy of three-dimensional optical lattice clocks with unity filling. From the Lindblad equation governing the time evolution of the density matrix of the atoms, we derive the Bloch equations in the presence of the external Rabi driving laser field, and solve the equations approximately to the first order of the coupling strength of the dipole-dipole interaction between the atoms. We find that the clock shift equals to the product of the coupling strength, a factor determined by the parameters of the Rabi pulse, and another factor depending on the configuration of the three-dimensional optical lattice. Our result on the clock shift within the Rabi spectroscopy can be checked by measurement in future experiment.
