Quantum instabilities in the system of identical bosons
Creators: name: Shchesnovich, Valery S.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2005
Subjects: subject: Other Condensed Matter (cond-mat.other)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The quantum instability of the mean-field theory for identical bosons is shown to be described by an appropriate Bogoliubov transformation. A connection between the quantum and classical linear stability theories is indicated. It is argued that the instability rate in a system of identical bosons must be strongly affected by the nonlinear terms (interactions). In the case of the repulsive interactions or strong attractive interactions the instability rate is suppressed. On the other hand, a weak attraction significantly enhances the instability rate. The results can have applications in the field of Bose-Einstein condensates of dilute quantum gases.

Barriers to Women in Economic Development
Creators: name: Rawlings, Rachel Ann
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2014

description: The focus of my research is on Ghana, because I completed a microfinance internship there. The methodology of this research is a combination of direct observation, interviews, and secondary research. Women in Ghana are limited from obtaining greater economic power by formal and informal barriers. Formal barriers are systematic exclusions from resources that prevent women from pursuing greater levels of power, specifically lack of access to capital and unstable political institutions. Informal barriers are perceived by individuals or societies but are not evidenced in the societal structure. Informal barriers that hinder women from progress include community restraints regarding the role of women and self-perceptions of women.
Gaussian unitary ensemble with jump discontinuities and the coupled Painlevé II and IV systems

description: We study the orthogonal polynomials and the Hankel determinants associated with Gaussian weight with two jump discontinuities. When the degree $n$ is finite, the orthogonal polynomials and the Hankel determinants are shown to be connected to the coupled Painlevé IV system. In the double scaling limit as the jump discontinuities tend to the edge of the spectrum and the degree $n$ grows to infinity, we establish the asymptotic expansions for the Hankel determinants and the orthogonal polynomials, which are expressed in terms of solutions of the coupled Painlevé II system. As applications, we re-derive the recently found Tracy-Widom type expressions for the gap probability of there being no eigenvalues in a finite interval near the the extreme eigenvalue of large Gaussian unitary ensemble and the limiting conditional distribution of the largest eigenvalue in Gaussian unitary ensemble by considering a thinned process.

description: Inspired by the Poisson Sigma Model and its relation to 2d gravity, we consider models governing morphisms from TSigma to any Lie algebroid E, where Sigma is regarded as d-dimensional spacetime manifold. We address the question of minimal conditions to be placed on a bilinear expression in the 1-form fields, S^ij(X) A_i A_j, so as to permit an interpretation as a metric on Sigma. This becomes a simple compatibility condition of the E-tensor S with the chosen Lie algebroid structure on E. For the standard Lie algebroid E=TM the additional structure is identified with a Riemannian foliation of M, in the Poisson case E=T^*M with a sub-Riemannian structure which is Poisson invariant with respect to its annihilator bundle. (For integrable image of S, this means that the induced Riemannian leaves should be invariant with respect to all Hamiltonian vector fields of functions which are locally constant on this foliation). This provides a huge class of new gravity models in d dimensions, embedding known 2d and 3d models as particular examples.

description: We study the modular invariance in magnetized torus models. Modular invariant flavor model is a recently proposed hypothesis for solving the flavor puzzle, where the flavor symmetry originates from modular invariance. In this framework coupling constants such as Yukawa couplings are also transformed under the flavor symmetry. We show that the low-energy effective theory of magnetized torus models is invariant under a specific subgroup of the modular group. Since Yukawa couplings as well as chiral zero modes transform under the modular group, the above modular subgroup (referred to as modular flavor symmetry) provides a new type of modular invariant flavor models with $D_4 \times \mathbb{Z}_2$, $(\mathbb{Z}_4 \times \mathbb{Z}_2) \rtimes \mathbb{Z}_2$, and $(\mathbb{Z}_8 \times \mathbb{Z}_2) \rtimes \mathbb{Z}_2$. We also find that conventional discrete flavor symmetries which arise in magnetized torus model are non-commutative with the modular flavor symmetry. Combining both two symmetries we obtain a larger flavor symmetry, where the conventional flavor symmetry is a normal subgroup of the whole group.

Physics reach of $β$-beams and $ν$-factories: the problem of degeneracies
Creators: name: Rigolin, S.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2005
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We discuss the physics reach of $β$-Beams and $ν$-Factories from a theoretical perspective, having as a guideline the problem of degeneracies. The presence of degenerate solutions in the measure of the neutrino oscillation parameters $θ_{13}$ and $δ$ is, in fact, the main problem that have to be addressed in planning future neutrino oscillation experiments. If degeneracies are not (at least partially) solved, it will be almost impossible to perform, at any future facility, precise measurements of $θ_{13}$ and/or $δ$. After a pedagogical introduction on why degenerate solutions arise and how we can get rid of them, we analyze the physics reach of current $β$-beam and $ν$-factory configurations. The physics reach of the "standard" \BB is severely affected by degeneracies while a better result can be obtained by higher-$γ$ setups. At the \NF the combination of Golden and Silver channels can solve the eightfold degeneracy down to $\sin^2θ_{13} \le 10^{-3}$

EBT at Farmer's Markets is a SNAP

Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2013

description: Research Question: How can farmers' markets best implement the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) to increase sales and provide low income individuals with access to fresh, local produce?
This paper will discuss the use of SNAP benefits (formerly known as food stamps) at farmers' markets, with particular emphasis on the Cache Valley Gardener's Market as an example. Lack of access to adequate food is a major issue in the US. When farmers' markets work in conjunction with the federal SNAP program they can help individuals who struggle with food security to gain access to local food. There are many benefits of supporting a local food system including strengthening the local economy and promoting a more sustainable food supply. Several farmers' markets across the US have successfully implemented SNAP benefits to accommodate lower income individuals. This paper summarizes how to implement a SNAP program at a market, and examines how the program is run at the Cache Valley Gardener's Market. This paper also discusses current research regarding SNAP at farmers' markets to identify areas for improvement at markets currently accepting SNAP benefits.

description: Machine learning software is increasingly being used to make decisions that affect people's lives. But sometimes, the core part of this software (the learned model), behaves in a biased manner that gives undue advantages to a specific group of people (where those groups are determined by sex, race, etc.). This "algorithmic discrimination" in the AI software systems has become a matter of serious concern in the machine learning and software engineering community. There have been works done to find "algorithmic bias" or "ethical bias" in the software system. Once the bias is detected in the AI software system, the mitigation of bias is extremely important. In this work, we a)explain how ground-truth bias in training data affects machine learning model fairness and how to find that bias in AI software,b)propose a methodFairwaywhich combines pre-processing and in-processing approach to remove ethical bias from training data and trained model. Our results show that we can find bias and mitigate bias in a learned model, without much damaging the predictive performance of that model. We propose that (1) test-ing for bias and (2) bias mitigation should be a routine part of the machine learning software development life cycle. Fairway offers much support for these two purposes.

Investigating the Importance of the N-Terminal Negative Residues in Human PRMT1
Creators: name: Siler, Brooke
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2013

description: Many essential physiological pathways, such as cell proliferation, gene expression, and cardiovascular health are regulated by Protein Arginine Methyltransferases (PRMTs) through methylation of arginine residues in protein substrates. Understanding how PRMTs interact with their substrates is pivotal to understanding the biological role of these enzymes, and fundamental to the goal of identifying possible sites to be inhibited through drug therapy. Natural variations in the N-terminus of the PRMTl enzymes and data collected in our lab suggest that the N-terminus is important for activity and/or the binding of protein substrates. Preliminary data collected had led us to hypothesize that the negatively charged residues in the N-terminus (Nt) of PRMT1 play an important role in substrate specificity and protein-substrate interactions. This paper details the exploration of this hypothesis through the creation of DNA vectors for the E. coli expression of mutant human PRMT1 proteins in which varying negatively charged residues are mutated to non-charged residues. These vectors were transformed into E. coli cells and expression and purification of each mutant was partially optimized. Of the three hPRMT1 mutants created, one has been kinetically characterized and the activity of this mutant on three wild type PRMT1 substrates has been examined. The ultimate aim of this study, accompanied with ongoing studies in the Hevel laboratory, is to form a complete picture of how PRMT1 interacts with its substrates and the role of the N-terminus of PRMT1 in this process.

description: This work investigates whether and how COVID-19 containment policies had an immediate impact on crime trends in Los Angeles. The analysis is conducted using Bayesian structural time-series and focuses on nine crime categories and on the overall crime count, daily monitored from January 1st 2017 to March 28th 2020. We concentrate on two post-intervention time windows - from March 4th to March 16th and from March 4th to March 28th 2020 - to dynamically assess the short-term effects of mild and strict policies. In Los Angeles, overall crime has significantly decreased, as well as robbery, shoplifting, theft, and battery. No significant effect has been detected for vehicle theft, burglary, assault with a deadly weapon, intimate partner assault, and homicide. Results suggest that, in the first weeks after the interventions are put in place, social distancing impacts more directly on instrumental and less serious crimes. Policy implications are also discussed.

description: We present the first known integrable relativistic field theories with interacting massive and massless sectors. And we demonstrate that knowledge of the massless sector is essential for understanding of the spectrum of the massive sector. Terms in this spectrum polynomial in the spatial volume (the accuracy for which the Bethe ansatz would suffice in a massive theory) require not just Lüscher-like corrections (usually exponentially small) but the full TBA integral equations. We are motivated by the implications of these ideas for AdS/CFT, but present here only field-theory results.

description: Studies of thermally induced transport in nanostructures provide access to an exciting regime where fluctuations are relevant, enabling the investigation of fundamental thermodynamic concepts and the realization of thermal energy harvesters. We study a serial double quantum dot formed in an InAs/InP nanowire coupled to two electron reservoirs. By means of a specially designed local metallic joule-heater, the temperature of the phonon bath in the vicinity of the double quantum dot can be enhanced. This results in phonon-assisted transport, enabling the conversion of local heat into electrical power in a nano-sized heat engine. Simultaneously, the electron temperatures of the reservoirs are affected, resulting in conventional thermoelectric transport. By detailed modelling and experimentally tuning the interdot coupling we disentangle both effects. Furthermore, we show that phonon-assisted transport gives access to the energy of excited states. Our findings demonstrate the versatility of our design to study fluctuations and fundamental nanothermodynamics.

Absolute polarisation position angle profiles of southern pulsars at 1.4 and 3.1 GHz

description: We present here a direct comparison of the polarisation position angle (PA) profiles of 17 pulsars, observed at 1.4 and 3.1 GHz. Absolute PAs are obtained at each frequency, permitting a measurement of the difference in the profiles. By doing this, we obtain more precise rotation measure (RM) values for some of the pulsars in the current catalogue. We find that, apart from RM corrections, there are small, pulse longitude dependent differences in PA with frequency. Such differences go beyond the interpretation of a geometrical origin. We describe in detail the PA evolution between the two frequencies and discuss possible causes, such as orthogonal and non-orthogonal polarisation modes of emission. We also use the PA and total power profiles to estimate the difference in emission height at which the two frequencies originate. In our data sample, there are changes in the relative strengths of different pulse components, especially overlapping linearly polarised components, which coincide with intrinsic changes of the PA profile, resulting in interesting PA differences between the two frequencies.

description: We study finite-temperature properties of the Kondo effect in a carbon nanotube (CNT) quantum dot using the Wilson numerical renormalization group (NRG). In the absence of magnetic fields, four degenerate energy levels of the CNT consisting of spin and orbital degrees of freedom give rise to the SU(4) Kondo effect. We revisit the universal scaling behavior of the SU(4) conductance for quarter- and half-filling in a wide temperature range. We find that the filling dependence of the universal scaling behavior at low temperatures $T$ can be explained clearly with an extended Fermi-liquid theory. This theory clarifies that a $T^{2}$ coefficient of conductance becomes zero at quarter-filling whereas the coefficient at half-filling is finite. We also study a field-induced crossover from the SU(4) to SU(2) Kondo state observed at the half-filled CNT dot. The crossover is caused by the matching of the spin and orbital Zeeman splittings, which lock two levels among the four at the Fermi level even in magnetic fields $B$. We find that the conductance shows the SU($4$) scaling behavior at $μ_{B}B

description: Despite their rarity, massive stars dominate the ecology of galaxies via their strong, radiatively-driven winds throughout their lives and as supernovae in their deaths. However, their evolution and subsequent impact on their environment can be significantly affected by the presence of a magnetic field. While recent studies indicate that about 7% of OB stars in the Milky Way host strong, stable, organised (fossil) magnetic fields at their surfaces, little is known about the fields of very massive stars, nor the magnetic properties of stars outside our Galaxy. We aim to continue searching for strong magnetic fields in a diverse set of massive and very massive stars (VMS) in the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds (LMC/SMC), and we evaluate the overall capability of FORS2 to usefully search for and detect stellar magnetic fields in extra-galactic environments. We have obtained FORS2 spectropolarimetry of a sample of 41 stars, which principally consist of spectral types B, O, Of/WN, WNh, and classical WR stars in the LMC and SMC. Four of our targets are Of?p stars; one of them was just recently discovered. Each spectrum was analysed to infer the longitudinal magnetic field. No magnetic fields were formally detected in our study, although Bayesian statistical considerations suggest that the Of?p star SMC159-2 is magnetic with a dipolar field of the order of 2.4 to 4.4kG. In addition, our first constraints of magnetic fields in VMS provide interesting insights into the formation of the most massive stars in the Universe.

description: Recently Second Harmonic Generation (SHG) for the yellow exciton series in cuprous oxide has been demonstrated [J. Mund et al., Phys. Rev. B 98, 085203 (2018)]. Assuming perfect $O_{\mathrm{h}}$ symmetry, SHG is forbidden along certain high-symmetry axes. Perturbations can break this symmetry and forbidden transitions may become allowed. We investigate theoretically the effect of external magnetic fields on the yellow exciton lines of cuprous oxide. We identify two mechanisms by which an applied magnetic field can induce a second harmonic signal in a forbidden direction. First of all, a magnetic field by itself generally lifts the selection rules. In the Voigt configuration, an additional magneto-Stark electric field appears. This also induces certain SHG processes differing from those induced by the magnetic field alone. Complementary to the manuscript by A. Farenbruch et al. [Phys. Rev. B, submitted], we perform a full numerical diagonalization of the exciton Hamiltonian including the complex valence band structure. Numerical results are compared with experimental data.

Targeted Drug Delivery System for Kidney and/or Liver Failure Patients Using Human Serum Albumin
Creators: name: Bedingfield, Sean
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2014

description: Compromised liver and/or kidney function reduces the acceptable dosage of a variety of medications that can be administered to patients. These patients still have a need for drugs such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), antivirals, and antibiotics. The project goal is to provide a drug delivery system to accommodate these reduced dosage limits with added therapeutic benefits to address symptoms of liver or kidney failure. Localized drug delivery allows for a smaller, concentrated dose rather than inundating the patient's system with the drug of interest. Human serum albumin (HSA) is a researched candidate for drug delivery with therapeutic properties. HSA was tested as a drug delivery vehicle for localized, percutaneous drug release aided by a displacing compound and changes in temperature and ultrasound generated by an external device. Dynamic light scattering (DLS), UV/Vis spectroscopy, and optical microscopy were employed in verifying drug binding, release, and effectiveness. The optimization of the proposed drug release method, the design of the device to promote drug delivery, and the testing of the drug delivery system with in vitro tissue testing were performed to validate the designed system.
Visual Narratives: Storytelling in the Digital Age
Creators: name: Dutson, Stevie
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2013

description: This research will identify the components of visual narratives in 2D and 3D animated films and their relation to elements in literature and other earlier forms of storytelling. Over the course of 150 years animation has evolved from phenakistoscopes and flips books to full length feature films. Today, stories need not be grounded by realities in order to be told visually, as in theater. Specialized artists and programmers can create and modify every aspect of environments and characters in order to convey a story most effectively. However, the act of transforming an idea into computer data and later to a visual narrative that will move audiences is extremely complex and involves more psychology than one would expect of a cartoon. Animating artists must understand how the elements of art, particularly shape and color, draw out specific emotional responses from viewers; much like an author must know the precise adjective to guide their readers through their tale. By delving into the specifics of these elements, this research seeks to broaden the understanding and appreciation of visual narratives in animated film as a significant form of modern storytelling.
Work as an external quantum observable and an operational quantum work fluctuation theorem

description: We propose a definition of externally measurable quantum work in driven systems. Work is given as a quantum observable on a control device which is forcing the system and can be determined without knowledge of the system Hamiltonian $H_\mathcal{S}$. We argue that quantum work fluctuation theorems which rely on the knowledge of $H_\mathcal{S}$ are of little practical relevance, contrary to their classical counterparts. Using our framework, we derive a fluctuation theorem which is operationally accessible and could in principle be implemented in experiments to determine bounds on free energy differences of unknown systems.
The targum (1955:Apr. 1 - 1955:Apr. 29)
Creators: name: No Name Supplied
Publisher: name: Targum Association
Year: 1955

description: Some University historians indicate that the Targum was first published as an annual in 1867, but of this we have no extant evidence. In January 1869, the Targum as we now know it, made its appearance as a monthly paper that concerned itself with student “literary contributions” and college news as well as serving as a vehicle for bringing news to alumni and the general public. The newspaper, which originally was for sale, varied in frequency over the years as did its title (The Targum, Rutgers Targum, Rutgers Daily Targum, and Daily Targum). The newspaper has continuously been published since 1869 with the exception of 19 months during the second world war, between February 1944 and October 1945. The Targum was published by the students of Rutgers College, and later Rutgers University—New Brunswick represented through the years as the Targum Association, Rutgers Targum Association, and Rutgers College Targum. As a student organization, the Targum operated under the oversight of the dean of students and student government but in October 1980, the Targum became an independent college paper.

Allerdings ist die Identität von BRISCHKEs Art unklar, da die Typen nicht mehr existent sind. A. klugii fällt aber als Deutungsmöglichkeit aus, da wichtige Merkmale in BRISCHKEs (1880) Beschreibung nicht zutreffen. Bei den finnischen Exemplaren von A. klugii lag die Flugzeit zwischen dem 4.

THE CONTRIBUTIONS OF ASSOCIATIVE AND NONASSOCIATIVE MECHANISMS IN THE US PREEXPOSURE EFFECT IN TASTE-AVERSION LEARNING

description: In conditioned taste aversion learning, rats avoid the consumption of a taste solution that has previously been paired with a drug. When the drug is administered prior to the taste-drug pairing, however, subsequent taste-aversion learning is attenuated. This phenomenon has been called the US preexposure effect. Although this phenomenon is clear, its underlying mechanism is not. For example, depending upon the specific drug examined, either an associative or nonassociative mechanism has been presented to account for the effects of drug preexposure. To test whether the mechanism underlying the US preexposure effect is drug specific or simply a result of procedural differences in the examination of different drugs, rats in Experiment 1 were given five preexposures in a distinctive environment and conditioned either in the distinctive environment or the home cage to either LiCl (Experiment 1A) or morphine (Experiment 1B). As demonstrated, the drug-specific nature of the US preexposure was still evident with identical test procedures. It was suggested that the degree of pharmacological adaptation to the drug during preexposure might be responsible for this drug-specific nature of the preexposure effect. This view was supported in Experiment 2, in which a compound was given during preexposure to which pharmacological adaptation is slow to develop, i.e., methadone hydrochloride. It was predicted that with such a drug, both associative and nonassociative mechanisms may contribute to the preexposure effect simultaneously. As reported, both mechanisms contributed to the effects of methadone preexposure. If the degree of pharmacological change during preexposure determines the mechanism underlying the preexposure effect, it was suggested that the degree of pharmacological adaptation and the subsequent mechanism underlying the preexposure effect should be affected by the specific parameters used during preexposure. This possibility was tested and supported in Experiment 3, in which 10 methadone preexposures were administered. Under this condition, the mechanism underlying the methadone preexposure was totally nonassociative in nature. Based on these results, it was concluded that by knowing the degree of pharmacological adaptation and environmental conditioning during preexposure, the outcome of US preexposure within a taste aversion paradigm may be accounted for and predicted.

description: Recently synthesized two-dimensional graphene-like material referred to as graphenylene is a semiconductor with a narrow direct bandgap that holds great promise for nanoelectronic applications. The significant bandgap increase can be provided by the strain applied to graphenylene crystal lattice or by using nanoribbons instead of extended layers. In this paper, we present the systematic study of the electronic, optical and thermoelectric properties of graphenylene nanoribbons using calculations based on the density functional theory. Estimating the binding energies, we substantiate the stability of nanoribbons with zigzag and armchair edges passivated by hydrogen atoms. Electronic spectra indicate that all considered structures could be classified as direct bandgap semiconductors. The absorption coefficient, optical conductivity, and complex refractive index are calculated by means of the first-principles methods and the Kubo-Greenwood formula. It has been shown that graphenylene ribbons effectively absorb visible-range electromagnetic waves. Due to this absorption, the conductivity is noticeably increased in this range. The transport coefficients and thermoelectric figure of merit are calculated by the nonequilibrium Green functions method. Summarizing the results, we discuss the possible use of graphenylene films and nanoribbons in nanoelectronic devices.
