description: We consider the angular distribution of the photon signal which could arise from velocity-dependent dark matter annihilation within the Galactic bulge. We find that, for the case of Sommerfeld-enhanced annihilation, dark matter annihilation within the bulge is dominated by slow speed particles which never leave the bulge, allowing one to find a simple analytic relationship between the dark matter profile within the Galactic bulge and the angular distribution. On the other hand, for the case $p$- or $d$-wave annihilation, we find that the small fraction of high-speed particles which can leave the bulge provide a significant, often dominant, contribution to dark matter annihilation within the bulge. For these scenarios, fully understanding dark matter annihilation deep within the Galactic bulge, and the angular distribution of the resulting photon signal, requires an understanding of the dark matter profile well outside the bulge. We consider the Galactic Center excess in light of these results, and find that an explanation of this excess in terms of $p$-wave annihilation would require the dark matter profile within the bulge to have a much steeper profile than usually considered, but with uncertainties related to the behavior of the profile outside the bulge.

description: Background: Microbes, plants, and fungi synthesize an enormous number of metabolites exhibiting rich chemical diversity. For a high-level classification, metabolism is subdivided into primary (PM) and secondary (SM) metabolism. SM products are often not essential for survival of the organism and it is generally assumed that SM enzymes stem from PM homologs. Results: We wanted to assess evolutionary relationships and function of bona fide bacterial PM and SM enzymes. Thus, we analyzed the content of 1010 biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) from the MIBiG dataset; the encoded bacterial enzymes served as representatives of SM. The content of 15 bacterial genomes known not to harbor BGCs served as a representation of PM. Enzymes were categorized on their EC number and for these enzyme functions, frequencies were determined. The comparison of PM/SM frequencies indicates a certain preference for hydrolases (EC class 3) and ligases (EC class 6) in PM and of oxidoreductases (EC class 1) and lyases (EC class 4) in SM. Based on BLAST searches, we determined pairs of PM/SM homologs and their functional diversity. Oxidoreductases, transferases (EC class 2), lyases and isomerases (EC class 5) form a tightly interlinked network indicating that many protein folds can accommodate different functions in PM and SM. In contrast, the functional diversity of hydrolases and especially ligases is significantly limited in PM and SM. For the most direct comparison of PM/SM homologs, we restricted for each BGC the search to the content of the genome it comes from. For each homologous hit, the contribution of the genomic neighborhood to metabolic pathways was summarized in BGC-specific html-pages that are interlinked with KEGG; this dataset can be downloaded from https://www.bioinf.ur.de. Conclusions: Only few reaction chemistries are overrepresented in bacterial SM and at least 55% of the enzymatic functions present in BGCs possess PM homologs. Many SM enzymes arose in PM and Nature utilized the evolvability of enzymes similarly to establish novel functions both in PM and SM. Future work aimed at the elucidation of evolutionary routes that have interconverted a PM enzyme into an SM homolog can profit from our BGC-specific annotations.

description: We obtain exact traveling-wave solutions of the coupled nonlinear partial differential equations that describe the dynamics of two classical scalar fields in 1+1 dimensions. The solutions are kinks interpolating between neighboring vacua. We compute the classical kink mass and show that it saturates a Bogomol'nyi-type bound. We also present exact traveling-wave solutions of a more general class of models. Examples include coupled $ϕ^4$ and sine-Gordon models.

description: Liquid water is well-known for its intriguing thermodynamic anomalies in the supercooled state. The phenomenological two-state models - based on the assumption of the existence of two types of competing local states (or, structures) in liquid water - have been extremely successful in describing water's thermodynamic anomalies. However, the precise structural features of these competing local states in liquid water still remain elusive. Here, we have employed a geometrical order parameter-free approach to unambiguously identify the two types of competing local states -- entropically and energetically-favored -- with significantly different structural and energetic features in the TIP4P/2005 liquid water. This identification is based on the heterogeneous structural relaxation of the system in the potential energy landscape (PEL) during the steepest-descent energy minimization. This heterogeneous relaxation is characterized using order parameters inspired by the spin-glass transition in frustrated magnetic systems. We have further established a direct relationship between the population fluctuation of the two states and the anomalous behavior of the heat capacity in supercooled water. The composition-dependent spatial distribution of the entropically-favored local states shows an interesting crossover from a spanning network-like single cluster to the spatially delocalized clusters in the close vicinity of the Widom line. Additionally, this study establishes a direct relationship between the topographic features of the PEL and the water's thermodynamic anomalies in the supercooled state and provides alternate markers (in addition to the locus of maxima of thermodynamic response functions) for the Widom line in the phase plane.
"Classical" coherent state generated by curved surface

description: Analogous coherent states are deduced from classical optical fields on curved surface in this paper. The Gaussian laser beam, as a fundamental mode, cannot be adequately simulated by coherent states due to their inherent diffraction in flat space. But things will be different when it propagates on a surface with uniform curvature called the constant Gaussian curvature surface (CGCS). By generalizing the method of Feynman path integral, an equivalent coherent states solution is demonstrated here to describe the beam propagation. The temporal evolution of the Schrodinger equation is analogously translated into a spatial transmission in this derivation, we obtain the expression of quantized momentum transmitted on curved surface, which is proportional to the square root of the Gaussian curvature $K$. In addition, we build a beam propagation picture identical to the squeezed state. We hope this research can give a new view on the quantum field in curved space.

Radiative Generation of Quark Masses and Mixing Angles in the Two Higgs Doublet Model

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: We present a framework to generate the quark mass hierarchies and mixing angles by extending the Standard Model with one extra Higgs doublet. The charm and strange quark masses are generated by small quantum effects, thus explaining the hierarchy between the second and third generation quark masses. All the mixing angles are also generated by small quantum effects: the Cabibbo angle is generated at zero-th order in perturbation theory, while the remaining off-diagonal entries of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix are generated at first order, hence explaining the observed hierarchy $|V_{ub}|,|V_{cb}|\ll |V_{us}|$. The values of the radiatively generated parameters depend only logarithmically on the heavy Higgs mass, therefore this framework can be reconciled with the stringent limits on flavor violation by postulating a sufficiently large new physics scale.

description: A flat band can be studied an infinitely strong coupling, realized in a simple system. Therefore, its holographic realization should be interesting. Laia and Tong gave a realization of the flat band over the entire momentum region by introducing a particular boundary term. Here, we give a model with a flat band over a finite region of momentum space using a bulk interaction term instead of the boundary term. We find that the spectrum of our model is precisely analogous to that of the ABC stacked multilayer graphene. In the presence of the chemical potential, the flat band is bent in our holographic model, which is very close to the band deformation due to the spin-orbit

description: This study examines whether horses can learn by observing humans, given that they identify individual humans and orientate on the focus of human attention. We tested 24 horses aged between 3 and 12. Twelve horses were tested on whether they would learn to open a feeding apparatus by observing a familiar person. The other 12 were controls and received exactly the same experimental procedure, but without a demonstration of how to operate the apparatus. More horses from the group with demonstration (8/12) reached the learning criterion of opening the feeder twenty times consecutively than horses from the control group (2/12), and younger horses seemed to reach the criterion more quickly. Horses not reaching the learning criteria approached the human experimenters more often than those that did. The results demonstrate that horses learn socially across species, in this case from humans.

description: Magnetoresistance is the change of a material's electrical resistance in response to an applied magnetic field. In addition to its intrinsic scientific interest, it is a technologically important property, placing it in "Pasteur's quadrant" of research value: materials with large magnetorsistance have found use as magnetic sensors 1, in magnetic memory 2, hard drives 3, transistors 4, and are the subject of frequent study in the field of spintronics 5, 6. Here we report the observation of an extremely large one-dimensional positive magnetoresistance (XMR) in the layered transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) WTe2; 452,700 percent at 4.5 Kelvin in a magnetic field of 14.7 Tesla, and 2.5 million percent at 0.4 Kelvin in 45 Tesla, with no saturation. The XMR is highly anisotropic, maximized in the crystallographic direction where small pockets of holes and electrons are found in the electronic structure. The determination of the origin of this effect and the fabrication of nanostructures and devices based on the XMR of WTe2 will represent a significant new direction in the study and uses of magnetoresistivity. *The published version of the paper includes co-authors Tian Liang and Max Hirschberger. **This paper has been published with new MR data to 60T where the MR of WTe2 reaches 13 million percent (at 0.5K) and still shows no signs of saturation. We also have new electron diffraction patterns to lower temperature (10K). We discuss the possible origin of the MR as coming from an electron-hole 'resonance' condition established by a perfect n/p ratio of 1 (more details in a new "extended data" section). This makes WTe2, possibly, the first realization of a perfectly balanced semimetal. ***The paper is published as "Large non-saturating magnetoresistance in WTe2" in Nature (2014), DOI:10.1038/nature13763

description: We explore absorbing open-boundary modes in non-Hermitian photonic systems. The modes have a continuum spectrum in the infinite system-size limit and can exhibit the non-Hermitian skin effect. In contrast to the conventional non-Hermitian skin modes under the fixed-end open-boundary condition, the modes concerned exhibit a strongly size-dependent spectrum that gradually converges to the non-Bloch-band dispersion. The modes correspond to the poles of the $S$ matrix, and are closely related to the lasing. We demonstrate these properties in a two-dimensional non-Hermitian photonic crystal with gain having a point-(pseudo)gap topology.

description: This paper serves as an update of the previous work entitled ``Heavy-Flavor-Conserving Hadronic Weak Decays of Charmed and Bottom Baryons". We make an improvement on the bag wave functions by removing the center-of-mass motion of the bag. All the baryon matrix elements are now calculated under the same framework without introducing new parameters. The matrix elements of 4-quark operators are found to be nearly twice larger than the previous ones. The calculated branching fractions of $ Ξ_c ^0 \to Λ_c ^+π^-$ and $Ξ_b^- \to Λ^0_b π^-$ are both in agreement with current experimental results. For the yet-to-be-measured heavy-flavor-conserving decays, we find ${\cal B}( Ξ_c ^+ \to Λ_c ^+π^0) = (13.8 \pm 1.4)\times 10^{-3}$, ${\cal B}( Ξ_b^0 \to Λ^0_b π^0) = (2.6 \pm 0.3)\times 10^{-3}$, ${\cal B}( Ω_c ^0 \to Ξ_c^+π^-) = (2.0 \pm 0.2)\times 10^{-3}$ and ${\cal B}( Ω_c ^0 \to Ξ_c^0π^0)= (1.1 \pm 0.1)\times 10^{-3}$. They are all accessible to LHCb, Belle and Belle II and can be tested in the near future.

description: We show that non-round boundary points of the numerical range of an unbounded operator (i.e. points where the boundary has infinite curvature) are contained in the spectrum of the operator. Moreover, we show that non-round boundary points, which are not corner points, lie in the essential spectrum. This generalizes results of Hübner, Farid, Spitkovsky and Salinas and Velasco for the case of bounded operators. We apply our results to non-selfadjoint Schrödinger operators, showing that in this case the boundary of the numerical range can be non-round only at points where it hits the essential spectrum.

description: Half topological states of matter and two-dimensional (2D) magnetism have gained much attention recently. In this paper, we propose a special topological semimetal phase called a 2D half Chern-Weyl semimetal (HCWS), which is a 2D magnetic Weyl semimetal bound to the half Chern insulator phase by symmetry, and the two phases can be converted to each other by manipulating the magnetization direction. We provide the symmetry conditions to realize this state in 2D systems with multiple screw axes. Tight-binding models with multiple basis and a predicted 2D material, monolayer TiTe, are shown as the concrete examples for HCWSs. The TiTe monolayer was shown to have a high ferremagnetic Curie temperature (~966 K) as well as a Coulomb correlation-enhanced spin-orbit coupling (SOC), and further demonstrates the effect of correlation-enhanced SOC on magnetocrystalline anisotropy energy and energy gap opening. Our work reveals a state with switchable and spin-resolved half body charge currents as well as half boundary charge currents, and will provide a platform for novel and high-performance topological spintronics devices.

description: We provide the first evidence for coherence and Rabi oscillations of spin-solitons pinned by the local breaking of translational symmetry in isotropic Heisenberg chains (simple antiferromagnetic-Néel or spin-Peierls).We show that these correlated spin systems made of hundreds of coupled spin bear an overall spin S=1/2 and can be manipulated as a single spin. This is clearly contrary to all known spin-qubits which are paramagnetic centres, highly diluted to prevent decoherence. These results offer an alternative approach for spin-qubits paving the way for the implementation of a new type of quantum computer.

Here, we experimentally observe enhancement of mid-infrared second-harmonic generation (SHG) using grating-coupled surface phonon polaritons of the 6H-SiC surface. In our experiment, we measure the SHG along the polariton dispersion by changing the incidence angle of the excitation beam. We observe hybridization between the propagating surface phonon polaritons and localized plasmon resonances in the gold grating, evidenced by the modification of the polariton dispersion as we change the area ratio of grating and substrate. Design options for engineering the plasmon-phonon polariton hybridization are discussed. Overall, we find a rather low yield of polariton-enhanced SHG in this geometry compared to prism-coupling and nanostructures, and discuss possible origins.
State of the Art (SOTA) Manual for Commercial Sterilizers and Fumigators using Ethylene Oxide
Creators: name: No Name Supplied
Publisher: name: State of New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection Air Quality Permitting Program
Year: 1997

description: The State of the Art (SOTA) performance levels outlined in this manual apply to newly constructed and reconstructed commercial sterilization/fumigation sources using ethylene oxide in sterilization or fumigation operations, with annual ethylene oxide usage of greater than or equal to 1 ton per year.  The performance levels specify emission rates and control technologies applicable to each class of sterilizers based on annual ethylene oxide usage.  Emission levels and control technologies are specified for sterilizer sterilization chamber vents, aeration room vents and chamber exhaust vents.  As promulgated in the New Jersey Air Pollution Control Act N.J.S.A. 26:2C-9.2C, and as set forth in the implementing regulations of the Air Pollution Control Act (N.J.A.C. 7:27-8 and N.J.A.C. 7:27-22.35), newly constructed, reconstructed, or modified equipment and control apparatus is required to incorporate advances in the art of air pollution control developed for the kind and amount of air contaminant emitted by the applicant's equipment or control apparatus.  The Air Pollution Control Act of New Jersey directed the Department to publish technical manuals that would include performance levels with respect to air pollution control, to be used by some permit applicants for demonstrating advances in the art of air pollution control.  'Advances in the art of air pollution control' is commonly referred to as 'State-of-the-Art' or SOTA.  SOTA generally includes performance limits that are based on air pollution control technology, pollution prevention methods, and process modifications or substitutions that will provide the greatest emission reductions that are technologically and economically feasible.  There are 17 SOTA manuals included in this series.  They cover the following topics:  volatile organic storage tanks; transfer operations; petroleum refineries; asphalt plants; chemical and pharmaceutical processing and manufacturing industries; degreasers and other solvent based metal surface cleaners; surface coating operations; commercial sterilizers and fumigators using ethylene oxide; municipal wastewater/sludge handling and treatment systems; non-hazardous onsite remediation processes; bakery ovens; broilers; internal combustion engines; stationary gas turbines; glass industry; paint, ink, and adhesive manufacturing industries; graphic arts industry.

description: We investigate the tracker configuration optimization for the Circular Electron Position Collider (CEPC), a proposed Higgs and $Z$ factory. Fixing the construction cost comparable to that of the baseline detector design and considering the benchmark channels ($Z\rightarrow f\bar{f}$, $WW$ fusion with $H\rightarrow f\bar{f}$, $ZH\rightarrowν\barνf\bar{f}$, and $t\bar{t}\rightarrow b\bar{b}μν_μud$) of various operating modes of the CEPC, we obtain the optimal tracker radius that provides the best average resolution of the track momentum or jet energy. The optimal tracker radii for track momentum resolution range from 1.59\,m to 1.73\,m and for jet energy resolution from 1.82\,m to 1.97\,m, depending on the benchmark channels. Compared to the jets, the tracks prefer a smaller radius and a longer length because the track momentum resolution degrades more significantly than jet energy resolution in the forward region. The benchmark channel for $Z$-pole prefers a smaller radius and longer length compared to other benchmark channels because the final state particles at the $Z$-pole have a more forward distribution. We also analyze the scaling behavior of the optimal tracker configuration at floating construction cost and observe a weak dependence.

description: The violation of the Cauchy-Schwarz and Bell inequalities ranks among the major evidences of the genuinely quantum nature of an emitter. We show that by dispensing from the usual approximation of mode correlations and studying directly correlations between the physical reality -the photons- these violations can be optimized. This is achieved by extending the concept of photon correlations to all frequencies in all the possible windows of detections, with no prejudice to the supposed origin of the photons. We identify the regions of quantum emission as rooted in collective de-excitation involving virtual states instead of, as previously assumed, cascaded transitions between real states.

description: Following the ground-breaking measurement of the tensor-to-scalar ratio $r = 0.20^{+0.07}_{- 0.05}$ by the BICEP2 collaboration, we perform a statistical analysis of a model that combines Radiative Inflation with Dark Energy (RIDE) based on the $M^2 |Φ|^2 \ln \left(|Φ|^2/Λ^2 \right)$ potential and compare its predictions to those based on the traditional chaotic inflation $M^2|Φ|^2$ potential. We find a best-fit value in the RIDE model of $r=0.18$ as compared to $r=0.17$ in the chaotic model, with the spectral index being $n_S=0.96$ in both models.

description: In addition to using the technique of commented reading, which is success fully used in the methodology of teaching literature, we consider it necessary to introduce into teaching practice new techniques that are not yet used or are insufficiently used in literature lessons. One of the components of the system of commented reading of a literary work, according to our assumptions, should be the identification of the peculiarities of the perception of the text using the two-part diary technique. Another component of the system is commenting as a control over the effectiveness of assimilation of the text; its task is to identify how deeply the student understood the work, whether he was attentive during the lesson, listening to the teacher's comments.

description: Quantum chromodynamics (QCD) predicts the existence of both nonperturbative intrinsic and perturbative extrinsic heavy quark contributions to the fundamental structure of hadrons. The existence of intrinsic charm at the 3-standard-deviation level in the proton has recently been established from structure function measurements by the NNPDF Collaboration. Here we revisit the physics of intrinsic heavy quarks using light-front holographic QCD (LFHQCD) - a novel comprehensive approach to hadron structure which provides detailed predictions for dynamical properties of the hadrons, such as form factors, distribution amplitudes, structure functions, etc. We will extend this nonperturbative light-front QCD approach to study the heavy quark-antiquark contribution to the electromagnetic properties of nucleon. Our framework is based on a study of the eigenfunctions of the QCD light-front Hamiltonian, the frame-independent light-front wave functions (LFWFs) underlying hadron dynamics. We analyze the heavy quark content in the proton, induced either directly by the nonperturbative $|uud+Q\bar Q\rangle$ Fock state or by the $|uud+g\rangle$ Fock state, where the gluon splits into a heavy quark-antiquark pair. The specific form of these LFWFs are derived from LFHQCD. Using these LFWFs, we construct light-front representations for the heavy quark-antiquark asymmetry, the electromagnetic form factors of nucleons induced by heavy quarks, including their magnetic moments and radii.

Year: 1998

description: This fact sheet discusses Shop Rite Supermarkets' Pilot Composting Program. A group of Shop Rite stores in New Jersey divert 3,000 tons of organics per year. The stores collect a wide array of materials for off-site composting and rendering, such as floral and produce trimmings, out-of-date bakery items, old seafood, and out-of-date dairy and deli products. Shop Rite Supermarkets began the pilot composting program in 1994, and by summer 1997, the program had grown to include 25 stores. As a result of the program, participating stores divert approximately 80% of their organics to a composting facility and 90% of their total waste stream through recycling, including composting. On average, stores realize a net savings of $57 per ton in avoided disposal costs. Composting responsibilities are integrated into employee job descriptions. The fact sheet gives tips for replication of the program and lists the costs and benefits in a program summary.

description: Python has become a standard scientific computing language with fast-growing support of machine learning and data analysis modules, as well as an increasing usage of big data. The Dynamic Distributed Dimensional Data Model (D4M) offers a highly composable, unified data model with strong performance built to handle big data fast and efficiently. In this work we present an implementation of D4M in Python. $D4M.py$ implements all foundational functionality of D4M and includes Accumulo and SQL database support via Graphulo. We describe the mathematical background and motivation, an explanation of the approaches made for its fundamental functions and building blocks, and performance results which compare $D4M.py$'s performance to D4M-MATLAB and D4M.jl.
