рукопись.

description: В статье представлены новые сведения, содержащиеся в неизданных письмах С.И. Танеева и Масловых и касающиеся истории любительского журнала «Захолустье» (1876–1889). Переписка эта – одна из самых обширных в эпистолярии Танеева. В ней обсуждается множество сюжетов. Между тем издана она далеко не в полном объеме. Только 53 письма Танеева к Варваре Ивановне и 3 к Федору Ивановичу Масловым опубликованы в 1951 году и представляют библиографическую редкость. Остальные – хранятся в архивах (большинство – в РГАЛИ, Москва).Рассматриваются взаимоотношения Танеева и Масловых, а это пять братьев и сестер (Федор, Николай, Варвара, Анна, София). При их активном участии зародилась идея создания рукописного журнала «Захолустье». Для этого любительского издания Танеев написал более 60 произведений различных жанров, 46 из которых удалось нам обнаружить. Часть из них (11 миниатюр) и сегодня остается в рукописях, будучи неизвестной в танеевиане. Большинство юмористических произведений написано «по случаю»: приведены некоторые факты из жизни композитора и его друзей Масловых. Подчеркнута роль псевдонимов, используемых не только в журнале, но и в письмах друзей. Представлены фрагменты писем Танеева к Варваре Ивановне Масловой, Софьи Ивановны и Анны Ивановны к композитору, в которых рассказывается о содержании несохранившихся номеров журнала, в частности, специально написанных для «Захолустья» рисунков В. Маковского. Приведены сведения об истории создания ранее неизвестного поэтического произведения Танеева – «Идиллии».

Experimental demonstration of coherent control in quantum chaotic systems

Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We experimentally demonstrate coherent control of a quantum system, whose dynamics is chaotic in the classical limit. Interaction of diatomic molecules with a periodic sequence of ultrashort laser pulses leads to the dynamical localization of the molecular angular momentum, a characteristic feature of the chaotic quantum kicked rotor. By changing the phases of the rotational states in the initially prepared coherent wave packet, we control the rotational distribution of the final localized state and its total energy. We demonstrate the anticipated sensitivity of control to the exact parameters of the kicking field, as well as its disappearance in the classical regime of excitation.

description: В статье рассматриваются особенности художественного языка произведений, созданных глухими, и анализируются особенности восприятия неслышащих. Автор опирается на работы М. Хайдеггера и Х.Г. Гадамера, которые посвящены проблеме художественного творчества и языка. Понимание художественного языка является одной из важных задач интерпретации искусства. Феномен понимания связан с различными способами постижения мира, чувственным опытом. При отсутствии одного из чувств (в данном случае – слуха) могут возникнуть некоторые трудности с пониманием. В изобразительном искусстве, так же как и в языке, существует своя система символов. В то же время, и в том и в другом случае понимание любого текста невозможно без реципиента и интерпретатора. В этом контексте понимание художественного произведения осуществляется вербальными средствами с помощью языка. Автор исходит из положения, что глухие обладают особой культурой не только языка, но и мышления. Восприятию, мышлению, ощущениям неслышащих людей присуща специфическая субъективность, которая должна отражаться в их художественной деятельности.

description: We argue that gravitational wave (GW) signals due to collisions of ultra-relativistic bubble walls may be common in string theory. This occurs due to a process of post-inflationary vacuum decay via quantum tunnelling within (Randall-Sundrum-like) warped throats. Though a specific example is studied in the context of type IIB string theory, we argue that our conclusions are likely more general. Many such transitions could have occurred in the post-inflationary Universe, as a large number of throats with exponentially different IR scales can be present in the string landscape, potentially leading to several signals of widely different frequencies -- a soundscape connected to the landscape of vacua. Detectors such as eLISA and AEGIS, and observations with BBO, SKA and EPTA (pulsar timing) have the sensitivity to detect such signals, while at higher frequency aLIGO is not yet at the required sensitivity. A distribution of primordial black holes is also a likely consequence, though reliable estimates of masses and $Ω_{\rm pBH} h^2$ require dedicated numerical simulations, as do the fine details of the GW spectrum due to the unusual nature of both the bubble walls and transition.

Typical height of the (2+1)-D Solid-on-Solid surface with pinning above a wall in the delocalized phase

Subjects: subject: Probability (math.PR)

description: We study the typical height of the (2+1)-dimensional solid-on-solid surface with pinning interacting with an impenetrable wall in the delocalization phase. More precisely, let $Λ_N$ be a $N \times N$ box of $\mathbb{Z}^2$, and we consider a nonnegative integer-valued field $(ϕ(x))_{x \in Λ_N}$ with zero boundary conditions (i.e. $ϕ|_{Λ_N^{\complement}}=0 $) associated with the energy functional $$ \mathcal{V} (ϕ)= β\sum_{x \sim y} \vert ϕ(x)-ϕ(y) \vert- \sum_{x} h \mathbf{1}_{\{ ϕ(x)=0\}},$$ where $β>0$ is the inverse temperature and $h\ge 0$ is the pinning parameter. Lacoin has shown that for sufficiently large $β$, there is a phase transition between delocalization and localization at the critical point $$h_w(β)= \log \left( \frac{e^{4 β}}{e^{4 β}-1}\right).$$ In this paper we show that for $β\ge 1$ and $h \in (0, h_w)$, the values of $ϕ$ concentrate at the height $H= \lfloor (4 β)^{-1} \log N \rfloor$ with constant order fluctuations. Moreover, at criticality $h=h_w$, we provide evidence for the conjectured typical height $H_w= \lfloor (6 β)^{-1} \log N \rfloor$.

Two-Level Systems in Nucleated and Non-Nucleated Epitaxial alpha-Tantalum films

description: Building usefully coherent superconducting quantum processors depends on reducing losses in their constituent materials. Tantalum, like niobium, has proven utility as the primary superconducting layer within highly coherent qubits. But, unlike Nb, high temperatures are typically used to stabilize the desirable body-centered-cubic phase, alpha-Ta, during thin film deposition. It has long been known that a thin Nb layer permits the room-temperature nucleation of alpha-Ta, although neither an epitaxial process nor few-photon microwave loss measurements have been reported for Nb-nucleated Ta films prior to this study. We compare resonators patterned from Ta films grown at high temperature (500 °C) and films nucleated at room temperature, in order to understand the impact of crystalline order on quantum coherence. In both cases, films grew with Al2O3 (001) || Ta (110) indicating that the epitaxial orientation is independent of temperature and is preserved across the Nb/Ta interface. We use conventional low-power spectroscopy to measure two level system (TLS) loss, as well as an electric-field bias technique to measure the effective dipole moments of TLS in the surfaces of resonators. In our measurements, Nb-nucleated Ta resonators had greater loss tangent (1.5 +/- 0.1 x 10^-5) than non-nucleated (5 +/- 1 x 10^-6) in approximate proportion to defect densities as characterized by X-ray diffraction (0.27 ° vs 0.18 ° [110] reflection width) and electron microscopy (30 nm vs 70 nm domain size). The dependence of the loss tangent on domain size indicates that the development of more ordered Ta films is likely to lead to improvements in qubit coherence times. Moreover, low-temperature alpha-Ta epitaxy may enable the growth of new, microstate-free heterostructures which would not withstand high temperature processing.

description: The Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI) Medium Resolution Spectrometer (MRS) is the only mid-IR Integral Field Spectrometer on board James Webb Space Telescope. The complexity of the MRS requires a very specialized pipeline, with some specific steps not present in other pipelines of JWST instruments, such as fringe corrections and wavelength offsets, with different algorithms for point source or extended source data. The MRS pipeline has also two different variants: the baseline pipeline, optimized for most foreseen science cases, and the optimal pipeline, where extra steps will be needed for specific science cases. This paper provides a comprehensive description of the MRS Calibration Pipeline from uncalibrated slope images to final scientific products, with brief descriptions of its algorithms, input and output data, and the accessory data and calibration data products necessary to run the pipeline.

description: In this letter we evaluate whether the gravitational wave background recently observed by a number of different pulsar timing arrays could be due to merging primordial supermassive black hole binaries. We find that for homogeneously distributed primordial black holes this possibility is inconsistent with the strong cosmological and astrophysical constraints on their total abundance. If the distribution exhibits some clustering, however, the merger rate will in general be enhanced, opening the window for a consistent interpretation of the PTA data in terms of merging primordial black holes.

Critical exponent of quantum phase transitions driven by colored noise

Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)

description: We demonstrate that criticality in a driven-dissipative system is strongly influenced by the spectral properties of the reservoir. We study the open-system realization of the Dicke model, where a bosonic cavity mode couples to a large spin formed by two motional modes of an atomic Bose-Einstein condensate. The cavity mode is driven by a high frequency laser and it decays to a Markovian bath, while the atomic mode interacts with a colored reservoir. We reveal that the soft mode fails to describe the characteristics of the criticality. We calculate the critical exponent of the superradiant phase transition and identify an inherent relation to the low-frequency spectral density function of the colored bath. We show that a finite temperature of the colored reservoir does not modify qualitatively this dependence on the spectral density function.

description: Introduction Significant cost reduction of DNA sequencing results in discovery of multiple new gene variants. However, their pathogenicity and molecular phenotypes needs to be uncovered and verified by functional tests. Labeling with stable isotopes and targeted metabolomics can be used to measure metabolic fluxes within central carbon and sugar metabolism providing a unified functional assay capable of diagnosing multiple genetic defects. Technological and methodological innovation  Targeted LC-MS/MS methods were optimized for detection of incorporation of 13C labels into intermediates of sugar and central carbon metabolism. In silico MS/MS fragmentation was performed to predict massed of fragment ions for selective detection of isotopomers. Patient-derived fibroblasts were cultured until near confluency. After a shift to a medium supplemented with 13C glucose the incorporation of isotopic label was followed for up to 48 hours. Results and impact The method allowed detection of 13C incorporation into TCA cycle intermediates on positions consistent with action of pyruvate dehydrogenase and citric acid synthase. Significantly lower PDH-dependent flux into TCA cycle was observed for cells derived from patient with prior diagnosis of PDH deficiency. The results show potential to use MS/MS to distinguish positional isotopomers of metabolites of central carbon metabolism and deconvolute fluxes through alternative pathways.

description: Searching for clues, gathering evidence, and reviewing case files are all techniques used by criminal investigators to draw sound conclusions and avoid wrongful convictions. Similarly, in software engineering (SE) research, we can develop sound methodologies and mitigate threats to validity by basing study design decisions on evidence. Echoing a recent call for the empirical evaluation of design decisions in program comprehension experiments, we conducted a 2-phases study consisting of systematic literature searches, snowballing, and thematic synthesis. We found out (1) which validity threat categories are most often discussed in primary studies of code comprehension, and we collected evidence to build (2) the evidence profiles for the three most commonly reported threats to validity. We discovered that few mentions of validity threats in primary studies (31 of 409) included a reference to supporting evidence. For the three most commonly mentioned threats, namely the influence of programming experience, program length, and the selected comprehension measures, almost all cited studies (17 of 18) did not meet our criteria for evidence. We show that for many threats to validity that are currently assumed to be influential across all studies, their actual impact may depend on the design and context of each specific study. Researchers should discuss threats to validity within the context of their particular study and support their discussions with evidence. The present paper can be one resource for evidence, and we call for more meta-studies of this type to be conducted, which will then inform design decisions in primary studies. Further, although we have applied our methodology in the context of program comprehension, our approach can also be used in other SE research areas to enable evidence-based experiment design decisions and meaningful discussions of threats to validity.

Quantum control of acoustic waves

subject: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: A key role in quantum communication technologies is the efficient transport of information between quantum resources (such as spins, superconducting circuits, or light). Typically, one would use microwaves, guided by microwave waveguides, as a transportation mechanism. However, there is recent interest in switching to the acoustic domain through mechanical, or acoustic vibrations. High-frequency acoustic modes in nano- and microresonators are an intriguing alternative as they couple well with quantum resources and carry GHz excitations with low velocities in the km/s range. However, to develop a flexible acoustic quantum communication platform, we need to develop protocols for active control of the dispersion and dissipation of acoustic waves. In the absence of strong acoustic nonlinearities, we propose to address this challenge by implementing protocols, via optical means, to harness control over acoustic waves in diamond hosting an ensemble of negatively charged nitrogen vacancies (NVs). These protocols build on the fact that NVs in diamond experience strain, which opens a channel that is accessible via an optical laser, that interacts with acoustic phonons through strain-orbit coupling. The model we consider consists of a single optically-excited NV coupled to a single acoustic mode. We show through a master equation how the action of the NV modifies the dissipation and dispersion of the mode, and show how this is controlled by the amplitude and resonance of the optical laser. We then utilise the theoretical framework to modify the dispersion and dissipation of acoustic waves propagating in different diamond waveguide geometries by controlling the state of NVs embedded in the material. Lastly, we show the expectation value of the phonon dynamics can be written in terms of the NV spectrum.
Ultrafast Manipulation of Valley Pseudospin

description: The coherent manipulation of spin and pseudospin underlies existing and emerging quantum technologies, including NMR, quantum communication, and quantum computation. Valley polarization, associated with the occupancy of degenerate, but quantum mechanically distinct valleys in momentum space, closely resembles spin polarization and has been proposed as a pseudospin carrier for the future quantum electronics. Valley exciton polarization has been created in the transition metal dichalcogenide (TMDC) monolayers using excitation by circularly polarized light and has been detected both optically and electrically. In addition, the existence of coherence in the valley pseudospin has been identified experimentally. The manipulation of such valley coherence has, however, remained out of reach. Here we demonstrate an all-optical control of the valley coherence by means of the pseudomagnetic field associated with the optical Stark effect. Using below-bandgap circularly polarized light, we experimentally rotate the valley exciton pseudospin in monolayer WSe2 on the femtosecond time scale. Both the direction and speed of the rotation can be optically manipulated by tuning the dynamic phase of excitons in opposite valleys. This study completes the generation-manipulation-detection paradigm for valley pseudospin, enabling the platform of excitons in 2D materials for the control of this novel degree of freedom in solids.

description: We calculate for the first time the phonon excitation rate in the outer crust of a neutron star due to scattering from light dark matter (LDM) particles gravitationally boosted into the star. We consider dark matter particles in the sub-GeV mass range scattering off a periodic array of nuclei through an effective scalar-vector interaction with nucleons. We find that LDM effects cause a modification of the net number of phonons in the lattice as compared to the standard thermal result. In addition, we estimate the contribution of LDM to the ion-ion thermal conductivity in the outer crust and find that it can be significantly enhanced at large densities. Our results imply that for magnetized neutron stars the LDM-enhanced global conductivity in the outer crust will tend to reduce the anisotropic heat conduction between perpendicular and parallel directions to the magnetic field.

To reduce the computation overhead of mesh adaptivity, our error estimator uses the much cheaper Poisson-Boltzmann equation as a simplified model, which is justified on heuristic grounds but shown to work well in practice. To address the nonlinearity in the full PNP-Stokes system, three different linearization schemes are proposed and investigated, with two segregated iterative approaches both outperforming a naive application of Newton's method. Numerical experiments are reported on a real-world nanopore sensor geometry. We also investigate two different models for the interaction of target molecules with the nanopore sensor through the PNP-Stokes equations. In one model, the molecule is of finite size and is explicitly built into the geometry; while in the other, the molecule is located at a single point and only modeled implicitly -- after solution of the system -- which is computationally favorable. We compare the resulting force profiles of the electric and velocity fields acting on the molecule, and conclude that the point-size model fails to capture important physical effects such as the dependence of charge selectivity of the sensor on the molecule radius.

description: We have presented a theoretical study of exclusive rare $W$-boson decays, $W\to V\ell\barν_\ell$ with $V$ denoting a neutral vector meson and $\ell=e$ or $μ$, in the standard model. The leading-order contributions to these processes are given by $W\to γ^*\ell\barν_\ell$ with the subsequent $γ^*\to V$ transition. Branching fractions of these decay modes, for $V=ρ$, $ω$, $ϕ$, and $J/Ψ$, respectively, have been calculated and predicted around $10^{-6}\sim 10^{-7}$, which are surprisingly larger than those of two-body hadronic radiative decays $W^\pm\to M^\pm γ$ with $M$ denoting a pseudoscalar or vector meson. Thus it is expected that rare $W$ decays into a neutral vector meson plus lepton pair may be the promising channels in future experimental facilities with a large number of $W$-boson events produced.

description: Average stellar radii in open clusters can be estimated from rotation periods and projected rotational velocities under the assumption of random orientation of the spin axis. Such estimates are independent of distance, interstellar absorption, and models, but their validity can be limited by missing data (truncation) or data that only represent upper/lower limits (censoring). We present a new statistical analysis method to estimate average stellar radii in the presence of censoring and truncation. We use theoretical distribution functions of the projected stellar radius $R \sin i$ to define a likelihood function in the presence of censoring and truncation. Average stellar radii in magnitude bins are then obtained by a maximum likelihood parametric estimation procedure. This method is capable of recovering the average stellar radius within a few percent with as few as $\approx$ 10 measurements. Here it is applied for the first time to the dataset available for the Pleiades. We find an agreement better than $\approx$ 10 percent between the observed $R$ vs $M_K$ relationship and current standard stellar models for 1.2 $\ge M/M_{\odot} \ge$ 0.85 with no evident bias. Evidence of a systematic deviation at $2σ$ level are found for stars with 0.8 $\ge M/M_{\odot} \ge$ 0.6 approaching the slow-rotator sequence. Fast-rotators ($P$ < 2 d) agree with standard models within 15 percent with no systematic deviations in the whole 1.2 $\ge M/M_{\odot} \ge$ 0.5 range. The evidence found of a possible radius inflation just below the lower mass limit of the slow-rotator sequence indicates a possible connection with the transition from the fast to the slow-rotator sequence.

description: The paper presents a novel methodology to build surrogate models of complicated functions by an active learning-based sequential decomposition of the input random space and construction of localized polynomial chaos expansions, referred to as domain adaptive localized polynomial chaos expansion (DAL-PCE). The approach utilizes sequential decomposition of the input random space into smaller sub-domains approximated by low-order polynomial expansions. This allows approximation of functions with strong nonlinearties, discontinuities, and/or singularities. Decomposition of the input random space and local approximations alleviates the Gibbs phenomenon for these types of problems and confines error to a very small vicinity near the non-linearity. The global behavior of the surrogate model is therefore significantly better than existing methods as shown in numerical examples. The whole process is driven by an active learning routine that uses the recently proposed $Θ$ criterion to assess local variance contributions. The proposed approach balances both \emph{exploitation} of the surrogate model and \emph{exploration} of the input random space and thus leads to efficient and accurate approximation of the original mathematical model. The numerical results show the superiority of the DAL-PCE in comparison to (i) a single global polynomial chaos expansion and (ii) the recently proposed stochastic spectral embedding (SSE) method developed as an accurate surrogate model and which is based on a similar domain decomposition process. This method represents general framework upon which further extensions and refinements can be based, and which can be combined with any technique for non-intrusive polynomial chaos expansion construction.
The Effective Temperature Concept Tested in an Active Colloid Mixture

description: Thermal energy agitates all matter and its competition with ordering tendencies is one of the most fundamental organizing principles in the physical world. Thus, it is natural to enquire if an effective temperature could result when external energy input enhances agitation. Potentially this could extend the insights of statistical thermodynamics to nonequilibrium systems, but despite proposals that the effective temperature concept may apply to synthetic active matter, biological motors, granular materials and turbulent fluids, its predictive value remains unclear. Here, combining computer simulations and imaging experiments, we design a two-component system of driven Janus colloids such that collisions produced by external energy sources play the role of temperature, and in this system we demonstrate quantitative agreement with hallmarks of statistical thermodynamics for binary phase behavior: the archetypal phase diagram with equilibrium critical exponents, Gaussian displacement distributions, fluctuation-dissipation relations, and capillarity. These quantitative analogies to equilibrium expectations, observed in this decidedly nonequilibrium system, constitute an existence proof from which to compare future theories of nonequilibrium, but limitations of this concept are also highlighted.

description: This dataset has been recorded by eight long-range WindScanners that were deployed during the Perdigão 2017 campaign. For the campaign which took place in central Portugal near the village of Perdigão eight scanners were located on two mountain ridges that run in parallel for about 2 km. The scanners carried out three synchronized scanning scenarios: transect scans at three positions perpendicular to the ridge with two scanners at two transects and one transect with four scanners; a scan following transects 80m above the ridges; and virtual mast scans at four locations.
This is an original dataset. It represents Level 2.3 data product in the FAIR lidar data schematics, that is geo-located radial velocities stored in NetCDF files with dimensions of time, range and line-of-sight number.

description: This text is a translation of an article by Jacques Camatte entitled "Contre la domestication", which was published in the French journal Invariance (Annee VI, serie II, no. 3, 1973). Translated from the original French by David Lonergan. "Repressive consciousness originated with Marxism in so far as the latter is a concrete formula for the future of the human species: proletarian revolution was supposed to come about when the development of the productive forces allowed it. This legalistic and repressive consciousness operates by explaining away popular uprisings, branding then as premature, petit-bourgeois, the work of irresponsible elements, etc. It is a consciousness which goes to the roots of reification, because it can only be organized consciousness, taking the form of parties, unions and groupuscles. Each of them organizes repression against those who are not organized, or who are not organized according to their particular methods."
Modern Orientalism in US media: A linguistic perspective on perceptions of Muslim women

description: The purpose of this study is to investigate modern orientalist ideas present in US news media in regards to Islam and Muslim women. This study takes a linguistic perspective on finding the ten most common words associated with Islam and Muslim women within the US news media and considering them alongside the ten most common words associated with Islam and Muslim women by Albanian women. The ethnographic research conducted through an online questionnaire aims to address the questions: Is the presentation of Muslim women in US media accurate? What are possible misconceptions about Muslim women in US media? How does the response to these misconceptions by Muslim Albanian women help us gain a better understanding of the relationship of Islam with the secular world? Through coding 30 articles from the New York Times, Washington Post, and The Wall Street Journal and analyzing the responses from 161 Albanian women (both Muslim and otherwise). It was evident that there were both some similarities and differences in the perceptions of the Muslim woman identity by US news media and the Albanian women – therefore, demonstrating that an identity is more nuanced and may depend on several factors.

description: Social media play an increasingly important role in political communication. Various studies investigated how individuals adopt social media for political discussion, to share their views about politics and policy, or to mobilize and protest against social issues. Yet, little attention has been devoted to the main actors of political discussions: the politicians. In this paper, we explore the topics of discussion of U.S. President Obama and the 50 U.S. State Governors using Twitter data and agenda-setting theory as a tool to describe the patterns of daily political discussion, uncovering the main topics of attention and interest of these actors. We examine over one hundred thousand tweets produced by these politicians and identify seven macro-topics of conversation, finding that Twitter represents a particularly appealing vehicle of conversation for American opposition politicians. We highlight the main motifs of political conversation of the two parties, discovering that Republican and Democrat Governors are more or less similarly active on Twitter but exhibit different styles of communication. Finally, by reconstructing the networks of occurrences of Governors' hashtags and keywords related to political issues, we observe that Republicans form a tight core, with a stronger shared agenda on many issues of discussion.
