description: A systematic experimental study of Gilbert damping is performed via ferromagnetic resonance for the disordered crystalline binary 3d transition-metal alloys Ni-Co, Ni-Fe, and Co-Fe over the full range of alloy compositions. After accounting for inhomogeneous linewidth broadening, the damping shows clear evidence of both interfacial damping enhancement (by spin pumping) and radiative damping. We quantify these two extrinsic contributions and thereby determine the intrinsic damping. The comparison of the intrinsic damping to multiple theoretical calculations yields good qualitative and quantitative agreement in most cases. Furthermore, the values of the damping obtained in this study are in good agreement with a wide range of published experimental and theoretical values. Additionally, we find a compositional dependence of the spin mixing conductance.

description: The performance of a quantum information processor depends on the precise control of phases introduced into the system during quantum gate operations. As the number of operations increases with the complexity of a computation, the phases of gates at different locations and different times must be controlled, which can be challenging for optically-driven operations. We circumvent this issue by demonstrating an entangling gate between two trapped atomic ions that is insensitive to the optical phases of the driving fields, while using a common master reference clock for all coherent qubit operations. Such techniques may be crucial for scaling to large quantum information processors in many physical platforms.

description: The finite-temperature transport properties of FeRh compounds are investigated by first-principles density-functional-theory-based calculations. The focus is on the behavior of the longitudinal resistivity with rising temperature, which exhibits an abrupt decrease at the metamagnetic transition point, T = T-m, between ferro-and antiferromagnetic phases. A detailed electronic structure investigation for T >= 0 K explains this feature and demonstrates the important role of (i) the difference of the electronic structure at the Fermi level between the two magnetically ordered states and (ii) the different degree of thermally induced magnetic disorder in the vicinity of T-m, giving different contributions to the resistivity. To support these conclusions, we also describe the temperature dependence of the spin-orbit-induced anomalous Hall resistivity and Gilbert damping parameter. For the various response quantities considered, the impact of thermal lattice vibrations and spin fluctuations on their temperature dependence is investigated in detail. Comparison with corresponding experimental data shows, in general, very good agreement.

description: Background: Unit nurse managers are in a key position to influence the implementation of evidence-based practice (EBP) in nursing. However, research indicates that nurse managers in China lack the competencies and behaviours to effectively lead implementation. The purpose of this study was to develop a prototype for an implementation leadership training program for unit nurse managers in China, and assess the prospective acceptability of the prototype. Methods: The dissertation was conducted in three study phases using multiple methods: 1) a mixed-methods systematic review of leadership development interventions for managers supervise nurses; 2) a qualitative descriptive study using an integrated knowledge translation (IKT) approach to develop a prototype for an implementation leadership training program based on the Ottawa Model of Implementation Leadership in Changsha, China; and 3) a qualitative descriptive study to investigate the prospective acceptability of the prototype among potential program deliverers and participants (n=14) from three tertiary hospitals in Changsha, China. Results: The systematic review analyzed 69 studies and found that leadership development interventions, including lectures, group work, and mentoring, positively impacted managers' leadership competencies in supporting, developing, and recognizing nurses. However, obstacles such as understaffing, time constraints, and lack of support hindered the application of these competencies in practice. In the co-development stage, nurse managers (n=7) identified all 14 O-MILe behaviours as important for EBP implementation, with some behaviours requiring modifications for clarity and cultural relevance. Managers outlined specific actions related to clinical practices, EBP, nurses, patients, interprofessional staff, incentives, resources, organization, and external entities. They emphasized the need for competencies in EBP, professional nursing, and implementation leadership. The training program prototype consisted of five interactive modules to be delivered through multimodal forms such as lectures, group discussions and coaching. Unit nurse managers (n=14) found the prototype acceptable, expecting it to enhance care provision and align with their professional values. Time constraints, the COVID-19 impact, and support from senior leadership were identified as influencing future participation. Conclusion: The prototype for the implementation leadership training program was perceived as acceptable to unit level nursing managers in the hospital context in Changsha, China. Future research is needed to explore the impact of the training program on enhancing implementation leadership competencies and behaviours of unit nurse managers, and the subsequent influence on nursing practice and patient outcomes.

description: The Upper Guinean Forest region of West Africa, a globally significant biodiversity hotspot, is among the driest and most human-impacted tropical ecosystems. We used Landsat to study forest degradation, loss, and recovery in the forest reserves of Ghana from 2003 to 2019. Annual canopy cover maps were generated using random forests and results were temporally segmented using the LandTrendr algorithm. Canopy cover was predicted with a predicted-observed r2 of 0.76, mean absolute error of 12.8%, and mean error of 1.3%. Forest degradation, loss, and recovery were identified as transitions between closed (>60% cover), open (15–60% cover) and low tree cover (< 15% cover) classes. Change was relatively slow from 2003 to 2015, but there was more disturbance than recovery resulting in a gradual decline in closed canopy forests. In 2016, widespread fires associated with El Niño drought caused forest loss and degradation across more than 12% of the moist semi-deciduous and upland evergreen forest types. The workflow was implemented in Google Earth Engine, allowing stakeholders to visualize the results and download summaries. Information about historical disturbances will help to prioritize locations for future studies and target forest protection and restoration activities aimed at increasing resilience.

description: We study the dependence of the electromagnetic luminosity --produced by interactions of force-free magnetospheres-- on dipole inclinations in binary neutron star systems. We show that this interaction extracts kinetic energy from the system and powers a Poynting flux with a strong dependence on the dipole orientations. This dependence can be linked to the reconnection and redistribution of magnetic field as the stars interact. Although the details of the Poynting luminosity are very much dependent on the orientation, all the cases considered here nevertheless radiate a large Poynting flux. This robust emission suggests that the pre-merger stage of binary neutron star systems can yield interesting electromagnetic counterparts to gravitational wave events.

description: The modified Dirac equations describing massless and massive spin-1/2 particles violating the Lorentz invariance are considered. The equation for massless fermions with varying speed is formulated in the 16-component first-order form. The projection matrix, which is the density matrix, extracting solutions to the equation has been obtained. Exact solutions to the equation and energy spectrum for a massive neutrino are obtained in the presence of background matter. We have considered as subluminal as well as superluminal propagations of neutrinos. The bounds on the Lorentz invariance violation parameter from astrophysical observations by IceCube, OPERA, MINOS collaborations and by the SN1987A supernova are obtained for superluminal neutrinos.

description: The former Diamond Alkali site at 80 Lister Avenue in Newark was determined to be contaminated with dioxin from the production of various herbicides and pesticides. The site, designated a Superfund site by the EPA, is a source of contaminated sediment in the Passaic River. Over the last several years, the responsible party has been working with EPA Region 2 and the NJDEP to determine the extent of contamination in the Passaic River Study Area (PRSA). Part of this analysis is the evaluation of contaminants in fish and crabs in the PRSA. The PRSA is part of the Newark Bay Complex, which includes tidal portions of the Hackensack and Passaic Rivers, the Arthur Kill, the Kill Van Kull, and Newark Bay and all waters that run into it. The risk analyis that follows estimates the risk to crabbers from the Newark Bay Complex from the consumption of recreationally caught crabs.

The effects on the size of the neutron skin of Sn nuclei and ${}^{208}$Pb are investigated as a function of the mass number and the isospin-dependent part of the effective interaction, respectively. The correlation of the neutron skin thickness with the difference of the neutron and proton numbers and with the slope of the nuclear symmetry energy is modified as compared to the mean-field calculation without alpha-cluster correlations.

description: Die Bewegungsplanung für automatisierte Fahrzeuge (AVs) in gemischtem Verkehr ist eine herausfordernde Aufgabe. Hierbei bezeichnet gemischter Verkehr, Verkehr bestehend aus von Menschen gefahrenen Fahrzeugen sowie automatisierten Fahrzeugen. Um die Komplexität der Aufgabe zu reduzieren, verwenden state-of-the-art Planungsansätze oft die vereinfachende Annahme, dass das zukünftige Verhalten umliegender Fahrzeuge unabhängig vom Plan des AVs vorhergesagt werden kann. Während die Trennung von Prädiktion und Planung für viele Verkehrssituationen eine hilfreiche Vereinfachung darstellt, werden hierbei Interaktionen zwischen den Verkehrsteilnehmern ignoriert, was besonders in interaktiven Verkehrssituationen zu suboptimalem, übermäßig konservativem Fahrverhalten führen kann. In dieser Arbeit werden zwei interaktionsbewusste Bewegungsplanungsalgorithmen vorgeschlagen, die in der Lage sind übermäßig konservatives Fahrverhalten zu reduzieren. Der Kernaspekt dieser Algorithmen ist, dass Prädiktion und Planung gleichzeitig gelöst werden. Mit diesen Algorithmen können anspruchsvolle Fahrmanöver, wie z. B. das Reißverschlussverfahren in dichtem Verkehr, durchgeführt werden, die mit state-of-the-art Planungsansätzen nicht möglich sind. Der erste Algorithmus basiert auf Methoden der Multi-Agenten-Planung. Interaktionen zwischen Verkehrsteilnehmern werden durch Optimierung gekoppelter Trajektorien mittels einer gemeinsamen Kostenfunktion approximiert. Das Kernstück des Algorithmus ist eine neuartige Multi-Agenten-Trajektorienplanungsformulierung, die auf gemischt-ganzzahliger quadratischer Programmierung (MIQP) basiert. Die Formulierung garantiert global optimale Lösungen und ist somit in der Lage das kombinatorische Problem zu lösen, welches kontinuierliche Methoden auf lokal optimale Lösungen beschränkt. Desweiteren kann durch den vorgestellten Ansatz ein manöverneutrales Verhalten erzeugt werden, das Manöverentscheidungen in ungewissen Situationen aufschieben kann. Der zweite Ansatz formuliert Interaktionen zwischen einem menschlichen Fahrer und einem AV als ein Stackelberg-Spiel. Im Gegensatz zu bestehenden Arbeiten kann der Algorithmus allgemeine nichtlineare Zustands- und Eingabebeschränkungen berücksichtigen. Desweiteren führen wir Mechanismen zur Integration von Kooperation und Rücksichtnahme in die Planung ein. Damit wird übermäßig aggressives Fahrverhalten verhindert, was in der Literatur als ein Problem interaktionsbewusster Planungsmethoden identifiziert wurde. Die Wirksamkeit, Robustheit und Echtzeitfähigkeit des Algorithmus wird durch numerische Experimente gezeigt.

description: We study some properties of a recently proposed local Lorentz Violating Finsler geometry, the so-called Bipartite space. This anisotropic structure deforms the causal null surface to an elliptic cone and provides an anisotropy to the inertia. The modified dispersion relations and the geodesic equation for a massive particle are studied. For a weak directional-dependence we obtain the dynamical and interaction terms analogous to the gravitational sector of the Standard Model Extension.

description: The Boltzmann equation for inelastic and rough hard spheres is considered as a model of a dilute granular gas. In this model, the collisions are characterized by constant coefficients of normal and tangential restitution and hence the translational and rotational degrees of freedom are coupled. A normal solution to the Boltzmann equation is obtained by means of the Chapman-Enskog method for states near the homogeneous cooling state. The analysis is carried out to first order in the spatial gradients of the number density, the flow velocity, and the granular temperature. The constitutive equations for the momentum and heat fluxes and for the cooling rate are derived and the associated transport coefficients are expressed in terms of the solutions of linear integral equations. For practical purposes, a first Sonine approximation is used to obtain explicit expressions of the transport coefficients as nonlinear functions of both coefficients of restitution and the moment of inertia. Known results for purely smooth inelastic spheres and perfectly elastic and rough spheres are recovered in the appropriate limits.

description: One focus of nanoelectronics research is to exploit the physical limits in size and energy efficiency. Here, we demonstrate a device in the form of a fully metallic atomic-scale transistor based on a lead (Pb) single-atom quantum point contact. The atomic configuration of the point contact determines the conductance of the Pb atomic-scale transistor. The conductance multiplicity of the Pb single-atom transistor has been confirmed by performing switching between an electrically nonconducting "off-state" and conducting "on-states" at 1G(0)(G(0) = 2e(2)/h, where e is the electron charge, and h Planck's constant), 2.0 G(0), 3.0 G(0), 1.5 G(0), 2.4 G(0), 2.7 G(0), 2.8 G(0), and 5.4 G(0), respectively. Our density-functional calculations for various ideal Pb single-atom contacts explain the atomic-configuration-related conductance multiplicity of the Pb single-atom transistor. The performance of the Pb single-atom transistors indicates that both the signatures of atomic valence and conductance quantization play roles in electron transport and bistable reconfiguration. The bistable reconfiguration of the electrode tips is an underlying mechanism in the switching of the Pb atomic-scale transistors. The absolute value of the electrochemical potential applied to the gate electrode is less than 30 mV. This merit suggests Pb [besides silver (Ag)] atomic-scale transistors as potential candidates for the development of electronic circuits with low power consumption. The dimension of the switching unit in the Pb single-atom transistor is in the range of 1 nm, which is much smaller than the projected scaling limit of the gate lengths in silicon transistors (5 nm). Therefore, the metallic single-atom transistors may provide perspectives for electronic applications beyond silicon.

description: We demonstrate the nonrenormalization of the chiral separation effect (CSE) in quenched finite-density QCD in both confinement and deconfinement phases using a recently developed numerical method which allows us, for the first time, to address the transport properties of exactly chiral, dense lattice fermions. This finding suggests that CSE can be used to fix renormalization constants for axial current density. Explaining the suppression of the CSE which we observe for topologically nontrivial gauge field configurations on small lattices, we also argue that CSE vanishes for self-dual non-Abelian fields inside instanton cores.

description: In this paper, we discuss P(n), the number of ways a given integer n may be written as a sum of primes. In particular, an asymptotic form P-as(n) valid for n ->infinity is obtained analytically using standard techniques of quantum statistical mechanics. First, the bosonic partition function of primes, or the generating function of unrestricted prime partitions in number theory, is constructed. Next, the density of states is obtained using the saddle-point method for Laplace inversion of the partition function in the limit of large n. This gives directly the asymptotic number of prime partitions P-as(n). The leading term in the asymptotic expression grows exponentially as root n/ln(n) and agrees with previous estimates. We calculate the next-to-leading-order term in the exponent, proportional to ln[ln(n)]/ln(n), and we show that an earlier result in the literature for its coefficient is incorrect. Furthermore, we also calculate the next higher-order correction, proportional to 1/ln(n) and given in Eq. (43), which so far has not been available in the literature. Finally, we compare our analytical results with the exact numerical values of P(n) up to n similar to 8 x 10(6). For the highest values, the remaining error between the exact P(n) and our P-as(n) is only about half of that obtained with the leading-order approximation. But we also show that, unlike for other types of partitions, the asymptotic limit for the prime partitions is still quite far from being reached even for n similar to 10(7).

description: We investigate charge relaxation in quantum wires of spinless disordered fermions (t-V model). Our observable is the time-dependent density propagator Pi(epsilon)(x.t), calculated in windows of different energy density epsilon of the many-body Hamiltonian and at different disorder strengths W, not exceeding the critical value W-c. The width Delta x(epsilon) (t) of Pi(epsilon)(x,t) exhibits a behavior d ln Delta x(epsilon) (t) / d ln t = beta(epsilon)(t) where the exponent function beta(epsilon)(t) less than or similar to 1/2 is seen to depend strongly on L at all investigated parameter combinations. (i) We confirm the existence of a region in phase space that exhibits subdiffusive dynamics in the sense that beta(epsilon)(t) < 1/2 in a large window of times. However, subdiffusion might possibly be transient, only, finally giving way to a conventional diffusive behavior with beta(epsilon) = 1/2. (ii) We cannot confirm the existence of many-body mobility edges even in regions of the phase diagram that have been reported to be deep in the delocalized phase. (iii) (Transient) subdiffusion 0 < beta(epsilon)(t) less than or similar to 1/2 coexists with an enhanced probability for returning to the origin. Pi(epsilon),(0,t) decaying much slower than 1/Delta x(epsilon) (t) Correspondingly, the spatial decay of Pi(epsilon)(x,t) is far from Gaussian, being exponential or even slower. On a phenomenological level, our findings are broadly consistent with the effects of strong disorder and (fractal) Griffiths regions.

description: This paper argues that the requirement of applicableness of quantum linearity to any physical level from molecules and atoms to the level of macroscopic extensional world, which leads to a main foundational problem in quantum theory referred to as the "measurement problem", actually has a computational character: It implies that there is a generic algorithm, which guarantees exact solutions to the Schrodinger equation for every physical system in a reasonable amount of time regardless of how many constituent microscopic particles it comprises. From the point of view of computational complexity theory, this requirement is equivalent to the assumption that the computational complexity classes P and NP are equal, which is widely believed to be very unlikely. As demonstrated in the paper, accepting the different computational assumption called the Exponential Time Hypothesis (that involves P!=NP) would justify the separation between a microscopic quantum system and a macroscopic apparatus (usually called the Heisenberg cut) since this hypothesis, if true, would imply that deterministic quantum and classical descriptions are impossible to overlap in order to obtain a rigorous derivation of complete properties of macroscopic objects from their microstates.

description: A common problem in lattice QCD simulations on the torus is the extremely long autocorrelation time of the topological charge when one approaches the continuum limit. The reason is the suppressed tunneling between topological sectors. The problem can be circumvented by replacing the torus with a different manifold, so that the connectivity of the configuration space is changed. This can be achieved by using open boundary conditions on the fields, as proposed earlier. It has the side effect of breaking translational invariance strongly. Here we propose to use a nonorientable manifold and show how to define and simulate lattice QCD on it. We demonstrate in quenched simulations that this leads to a drastic reduction of the autocorrelation time. A feature of the new proposal is that translational invariance is preserved up to exponentially small corrections. A Dirac fermion on a nonorientable manifold poses a challenge to numerical simulations: the fermion determinant becomes complex. We propose two approaches to circumvent this problem.
Dark State Adiabatic Passage with spin-one particles

description: Adiabatic transport of information is a widely invoked resource in connection with quantum information processing and distribution. The study of adiabatic transport via spin-half chains or clusters is standard in the literature, while in practice the true realisation of a completely isolated two-level quantum system is not achievable. We explore here, theoretically, the extension of spin-half chain models to higher spins. Considering arrangements of three spin-one particles, we show that adiabatic transport, specifically a generalisation of the Dark State Adiabatic Passage procedure, is applicable to spin-one systems. We thus demonstrate a qutrit state transfer protocol. We discuss possible ways to physically implement this protocol, considering quantum dot and nitrogen-vacancy implementations.

description: The investigation of ultrafast electronic and structural dynamics in low-dimensional systems like nanowires and two-dimensional materials requires femtosecond probes providing high spatial resolution and strong interaction with small volume samples. Low-energy electrons exhibit large scattering cross sections and high sensitivity to electric fields, but their pronounced dispersion during propagation in vacuum so far prevented their use as femtosecond probe pulses in time-resolved experiments. Employing a laser-triggered point-like source of either divergent or collimated electron wave packets, we developed a hybrid approach for femtosecond point projection microscopy and femtosecond low-energy electron diffraction. We investigate ultrafast electric currents in nanowires with sub-100 femtosecond temporal and few 10 nm spatial resolutions and demonstrate the potential of our approach for studying structural dynamics in crystalline single-layer materials.

description: We present the first lattice-QCD calculation of the pion distribution amplitude using the large-momentum effective field theory (LaMET) approach, which allows us to extract light cone parton observables from a Euclidean lattice. The mass corrections needed to extract the pion distribution amplitude from this approach are calculated to all orders in m(pi)(2)/P-Zeta(2) . We also implement the Wilson-line renormalization which is crucial to remove the power divergences in this approach, and find that it reduces the oscillation at the end points of the distribution amplitude. Our exploratory result at 310-MeV pion mass favors a single-hump form broader than the asymptotic form of the pion distribution amplitude.

description: This paper provides insight into when, why, and how forecast strategies fail when they are applied to complicated time series. We conjecture that the inherent complexity of real-world time-series data---which results from the dimension, nonlinearity, and non-stationarity of the generating process, as well as from measurement issues like noise, aggregation, and finite data length---is both empirically quantifiable and directly correlated with predictability. In particular, we argue that redundancy is an effective way to measure complexity and predictive structure in an experimental time series and that weighted permutation entropy is an effective way to estimate that redundancy. To validate these conjectures, we study 120 different time-series data sets. For each time series, we construct predictions using a wide variety of forecast models, then compare the accuracy of the predictions with the permutation entropy of that time series. We use the results to develop a model-free heuristic that can help practitioners recognize when a particular prediction method is not well matched to the task at hand: that is, when the time series has more predictive structure than that method can capture and exploit.

The Black Hole Meissner Effect and Blandford-Znajek Jets

description: Spinning black holes tend to expel magnetic fields. In this way they are similar to superconductors. It has been a persistent concern that this black hole "Meissner effect" could quench jet power at high spins. This would make it impossible for the rapidly rotating black holes in Cyg X-1 and GRS 1915+105 to drive Blandford-Znajek jets. We give a simple geometrical argument why fields which become entirely radial near the horizon are not expelled by the Meissner effect and may continue to power jets up to the extremal limit. A simple and natural example is a split-monopole field. We stress that ordinary Blandford-Znajek jets are impossible if the Meissner effect operates and expels the field. Finally, we note that in our general relativistic magnetohydrodynamic simulations of black hole jets, there is no evidence that jets are quenched by the Meissner effect. The simulated jets develop a large split monopole component spontaneously which supports our proposal for how the Meissner effect is evaded and jets from rapidly rotating black holes are powered in nature.

description: Topological invariants, such as the Chern number, characterise topological phases of matter. Here we provide a method to detect Chern numbers in systems with two distinct species of fermion, such as spins, orbitals or several atomic states. We analytically show that the Chern number can be decomposed as a sum of component specific winding numbers, which are themselves physically observable. We apply this method to two systems, the quantum spin Hall insulator and a staggered topological superconductor, and show that (spin) Chern numbers are accurately reproduced. The measurements required for constructing the component winding numbers also enable one to probe the entanglement spectrum with respect to component partitions. Our method is particularly suited to experiments with cold atoms in optical lattices where time-of-flight images can give direct access to the relevant observables.

description: In accordance with the federal Clean Water Act, New Jersey developed the 2002 Integrated List of Waterbodies, addressing the overall water quality of the state's waters and identifying impaired waterbodies for which Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) may be necessary. The list identified several waterbodies in the Atlantic Water Region as being impaired by pathogens, as indicated by the presence of fecal coliform concentrations in excess of standards. This report establishes 31 TMDLs addressing fecal coliform loads in waterbodies in the Atlantic Water Region. These 31 TMDLs will serve as management approaches or restoration plans aimed at indentifying the sources of fecal coliform and for setting goals for fecal coliform load reductions in order to attain applicable surface water quality standards.
