Constraining Superluminal Electron and Neutrino Velocities using the 2010 Crab Nebula Flare and the IceCube PeV Neutrino Events

description: The observation of two PeV-scale neutrino events reported by Ice Cube can, in principle, allows one to place constraints on Lorentz invariance violation (LIV) in the neutrino sector. After first arguing that at least one of the IceCube events was of extragalactic origin, I derive an upper limit for {\it the difference} between putative superluminal neutrino and electron velocities of $\le \sim 5.6 \times 10^{-19}$ in units where $c = 1$, confirming that the observed PeV neutrinos could have reached Earth from extragalactic sources. I further derive a new constraint on the superluminal electron velocity, obtained from the observation of synchrotron radiation in the Crab Nebula flare of September, 2010. The inference that the $>$ 1 GeV $γ$-rays from synchrotron emission in the flare were produced by electrons of energy up to $\sim 5.1$ PeV indicates the non-occurrence of vacuum Ćerenkov radiation by these electrons. This implies a new, strong constraint on superluminal electron velocities $δ_e \le \sim 5 \times 10^{-21}$. It immediately follows that one then obtains an upper limit on the superluminal neutrino velocity {\it alone} of $δ_ν \le \sim 5.6 \times 10^{-19}$, many orders of magnitude better than the time-of-flight constraint from the SN1987A neutrino burst. However, if the electrons are {\it subluminal} the constraint on $|δ_e| \le \sim 8 \times 10^{-17}$, obtained from the Crab Nebula $γ$-ray spectrum, places a weaker constraint on superluminal neutrino velocity of $δ_ν \le \sim 8 \times 10^{-17}$.

Stability of miscible Rayleigh-Taylor fingers in porous media with non-monotonic density profiles

Subjects: subject: Fluid Dynamics (physics.flu-dyn)

description: We study miscible Rayleigh-Taylor (RT) fingering instability in two-dimensional homogeneous porous media, in which the fluid density varies non-monotonically as a function of the solute concentration such that the maximum density lies in the interior of the domain, thus creating a stable and an unstable density gradients that evolve in time. With the help of linear stability analysis (LSA) as well as nonlinear simulations the effects of density gradients on the stability of RT fingers are investigated. As diffusion relaxes the concentration gradient, a non-monotonic density profile emerges in time. Our simple mathematical treatment addresses the importance of density gradients on the stability of miscible Rayleigh-Taylor fingering. In this process we identify that RT fingering instabilities are better understood combining Rayleigh number (Ra) with the density gradients--hence defining a new dimensionless group, gradient Rayleigh number (Ra$_g$). We show that controlling the stable and unstable density gradients, miscible Rayleigh-Taylor fingers are controllable.

description: This paper investigates two important issues in constructing and combining ensembles of acoustic models for reducing recognition errors. First, we investigate the applicability of the AnyBoost algorithm for acoustic model training. AnyBoost is a generalized Boosting method that allows the use of an arbitrary loss function as the training criterion to construct ensemble of classifiers. We choose the MCE discriminative objective function for our experiments. Initial test results on a real-world meeting recognition corpus show that AnyBoost is a competitive alternate to the standard AdaBoost algorithm. Second, we investigate ROVER-based combination, focusing on the technique for selecting correct hypothesized words from aligned WTN. We propose a neural network based insertion detection and word scoring scheme for this. Our approach consistently outperforms the current voting technique used by ROVER in the experiments.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

description: Let $K$ be a finite group and let $G$ be a finite group acting on $K$ by automorphisms. In this paper we study two different but intimately related subjects: on the one side we classify all possible multiplicative and associative structures with which one can endow the twisted $G$-equivariant K-theory of $K$, and on the other, we classify all possible monoidal structures with which one can endow the category of twisted and $G$-equivariant bundles over $K$. We achieve this classification by encoding the relevant information in the cochains of a sub double complex of the double bar resolution associated to the semi-direct product $K \rtimes G$; we use known calculations of the cohomology of $K$, $G$ and $K \rtimes G$ to produce concrete examples of our classification. In the case in which $K=G$ and $G$ acts by conjugation, the multiplication map $G \rtimes G \to G$ is a homomorphism of groups and we define a shuffle homomorphism which realizes this map at the homological level. We show that the categorical information that defines the Twisted Drinfeld Double can be realized as the dual of the shuffle homomorphism applied to any 3-cocycle of $G$. We use the pullback of the multiplication map in cohomology to classify the possible ring structures that the Grothendieck ring of representations of the Twisted Drinfeld Double may have, and we include concrete examples of this procedure.

description: n this paper we seek to provide greater automation for formal deductive verification tools working with continuous and hybrid dynamical systems. We present an efficient procedure to check invariance of conjunctions of polynomial equalities under the flow of polynomial ordinary differential equations. The procedure is based on a necessary and sufficient condition that characterizes invariant conjunctions of polynomial equalities. We contrast this approach to an alternative one which combines fast and sufficient (but not necessary) conditions using differential cuts for soundly restricting the system evolution domain.

description: Several finite dimensional quasi-probability representations of quantum states have been proposed to study various problems in quantum information theory and quantum foundations. These representations are often defined only on restricted dimensions and their physical significance in contexts such as drawing quantum-classical comparisons is limited by the non-uniqueness of the particular representation. Here we show how the mathematical theory of frames provides a unified formalism which accommodates all known quasi-probability representations of finite dimensional quantum systems. Moreover, we show that any quasi-probability representation satisfying two reasonable properties is equivalent to a frame representation and then prove that any such representation of quantum mechanics must exhibit either negativity or a deformed probability calculus.

An envelope function formalism for lattice-matched heterostructures

description: The envelope function method traditionally employs a single basis set which, in practice, relates to a single material because the $k\cdot p$ matrix elements are generally only known in a particular basis. In this work, we defined a basis function transformation to alleviate this restriction. The transformation is completely described by the known inter-band momentum matrix elements. The resulting envelope function equation can solve the electronic structure in lattice matched heterostructures without resorting to boundary conditions at the interface between materials, while all unit-cell averaged observables can be calculated as with the standard envelope function formalism. In the case of two coupled bands, this heterostructure formalism is equivalent to the standard formalism while taking position dependent matrix elements.

description: For their scalability needs, data-intensive Web applications can use a database scalability service (DBSS), which caches applications' query results and answers queries on their behalf. One way for applications to address their security/privacy concerns when using a DBSS is to encrypt all data that passes through the DBSS. Doing so, however, causes the DBSS to invalidate large regions of its cache when data updates occur. To invalidate more precisely, the DBSS needs help in order to know which results to invalidate; such help inevitably reveals some properties about the data. In this paper, we present invalidation clues, a general technique that enables applications to reveal little data to the DBSS, yet limit the number of unnecessary invalidations. Compared with previous approaches, invalidation clues provide applications significantly improved tradeoffs between security/privacy and scalability. Our experiments using three Web application benchmarks, on a prototype DBSS we have built, confirm that invalidation clues are indeed a low-overhead, effective, and general technique for applications to balance their privacy and scalability needs.

description: We experimentally investigate the phase winding dynamics of a harmonically trapped two-component BEC subject to microwave induced Rabi oscillations between two pseudospin components. While the single particle dynamics can be explained by mapping the system to a two-component Bose-Hubbard model, nonlinearities due to the interatomic repulsion lead to new effects observed in the experiments: In the presence of a linear magnetic field gradient, a qualitatively stable moving magnetic order that is similar to antiferromagnetic order is observed after critical winding is achieved. We also demonstrate how the phase winding can be used as a new tool to generate copious dark-bright solitons in a two-component BEC, opening the door for new experimental studies of these nonlinear features.

description: The self-assembled quantum dots (QDs) provide an ideal platform for realization of quantum information technology because it provides on demand single photons, entangled photon pairs from biexciton cascade pro- cess, single spin qubits, and so on. The fine structure splitting (FSS) of exciton is a fundamental property of QDs for thees applications. From the symmetry point of view, since the two bright exciton states belong to two different representations for QDs with C2v symmetry, they should not only have different energies, but also have different lifetimes, which is termed exciton lifetime asymmetry. In contrast to extensively studied FSS, the investigation of the exciton lifetime asymmetry is still missed in literature. In this work, we carried out the first investigation of the exciton lifetime asymmetry in self-assembled QDs and presented a theory to deduce lifetime asymmetry indirectly from measurable qualities of QDs. We further revealed that intrinsic lifetimes and their asymmetry are fundamental quantities of QDs, which determine the bound of the extrinsic lifetime asymmetries, polarization angles, FSSs, and their evolution under uniaxial external forces. Our findings provide an important basis to deeply understanding properties of QDs.

Efficient solution of the Wigner-Liouville equation using a spectral decomposition of the force field

description: The Wigner-Liouville equation is reformulated using a spectral decomposition of the classical force field instead of the potential energy. The latter is shown to simplify the Wigner-Liouville kernel both conceptually and numerically as the spectral force Wigner-Liouville equation avoids the numerical evaluation of the highly oscillatory Wigner kernel which is nonlocal in both position and momentum. The quantum mechanical evolution is instead governed by a term local in space and non-local in momentum, where the non-locality in momentum has only a limited range. An interpretation of the time evolution in terms of two processes is presented; a classical evolution under the influence of the averaged driving field, and a probability-preserving quantum-mechanical generation and annihilation term. Using the inherent stability and reduced complexity, a direct deterministic numerical implementation using Chebyshev and Fourier pseudo-spectral methods is detailed. For the purpose of illustration, we present results for the time-evolution of a one-dimensional resonant tunneling diode driven out of equilibrium.
Intuitionistic Letcc via Labelled Deduction

description: The well-known embedding of intuitionistic logic into classical modal logic means that intuitionistic logic can be viewed as a calculus of labelled deduction on multiple-conclusion sequents, where the labels are the Kripke worlds of the modal embedding. The corresponding natural deduction system constitutes a type system for programs using control operators such as letcc that capture the current program continuation, which has a modal restriction on the use of such continuations that enforces constructive validity. This allows us to develop a rich dependent type theory incorporating letcc, which is known to be otherwise highly problematic for computational interpretations of classical logic. Moreover, we give a novel constructive proof for the soundness of this labelled deduction system, whose algorithmic content is a non-deterministic translation of programs that eliminates uses of letcc and is fully compatible with dependent types and therefore with program verification. This proof has been formally verified on the propositional fragment in the Twelf meta-logical framework.

description: Mixed-cation Cesium-Methylammonium lead halide perovskite (CsxMA1-xPbI3-xBrx) thin-films have been used to demonstrate stable and efficient perovskite devices. However, a systematic study of the Cs incorporation on the properties of the perovskite films has not been reported. In this report, Impact of Cesium incorporation on the minority carrier recombination lifetime of Cesium-Methylammonium lead halide perovskite thin-films is studied. The lifetime for the as-deposited perovskite films decreases with increasing concentration of cesium. However, mixed cation perovskite film is more stable, showing higher lifetime (15-20 micro seconds) after 9 hours of ambient exposure than just after deposition (6-13 micro seconds). Methylamine Vapor Exposure (MVE) technique was used to improve the morphology of the as-deposited film. MVE treated films are more oriented along (110) direction and were even more stable in ambient, with Cs0.10MA0.90PbI2.90Br0.10 films showing lifetime of almost 50 micro seconds after 9 hours of ambient exposure, twice the lifetime of a comparable MAPbI3 film. These results throw light on why mixed-cation cesium-methylamine lead halide perovskite films are better for highly efficient and stable perovskite solar cells.

description: We propose a scalable semiparametric Bayesian model to capture dependencies among multiple neurons by detecting their co-firing (possibly with some lag time) patterns over time. After discretizing time so there is at most one spike at each interval, the resulting sequence of 1's (spike) and 0's (silence) for each neuron is modeled using the logistic function of a continuous latent variable with a Gaussian process prior. For multiple neurons, the corresponding marginal distributions are coupled to their joint probability distribution using a parametric copula model. The advantages of our approach are as follows: the nonparametric component (i.e., the Gaussian process model) provides a flexible framework for modeling the underlying firing rates; the parametric component (i.e., the copula model) allows us to make inference regarding both contemporaneous and lagged relationships among neurons; using the copula model, we construct multivariate probabilistic models by separating the modeling of univariate marginal distributions from the modeling of dependence structure among variables; our method is easy to implement using a computationally efficient sampling algorithm that can be easily extended to high dimensional problems. Using simulated data, we show that our approach could correctly capture temporal dependencies in firing rates and identify synchronous neurons. We also apply our model to spike train data obtained from prefrontal cortical areas in rat's brain.

description: A novel lateral flow assay (LFA) was developed by introducing Eu (III)-doped polystyrene nanoparticles (EuNPs) for rapid and ultra-sensitive detection of sulfamethazine (SM2) in raw milk. The limit of detection and linear range of the proposed method were 0.0045 and 0.05–10 ng/mL, respectively. The recovery of LFA for the detection of SM2 in raw milk was 96.1–108.2%. The proposed LFA provides a rapid and convenient strategy for fast and ultra-sensitive screening of SM2 in raw milk. EuNP-LFA may be a remarkable method for the detection of other targets at low concentrations to ensure food safety.

Many estimators are available in the literature, the most used ones being the non parametric estimators. kpanzou(2011) has developed semi-parametric estimators for measures of inequality and showed that these are very appropriate especially for heavy tailed distributions. In this paper we apply such semi-parametric methods to a practical data set and show how they compare to the non parametric estimators. A guidance is also given on the choice of parametric distributions to fit in the tails of the data

description: Keynote delivered on 12-09-2019 at the 2019 IEEE Big Data Conference - 4th Workshop on Open Science in Big Data (OSBD). Jupyter Notebooks have taken the scientific and open data world by storm the past five years. Being able to tell a computational narrative that combines prose, code, media, and rich visualizations have increased a researcher’s ability to collaborate with others, share research in a reproducible way, and educate others in their scientific discipline and beyond. A suite of tools, processes that scale, and modern ways to communicate openly about scientific research have grown rapidly within Project Jupyter’s open source community. Beyond the Jupyter Notebook, open source projects, including JupyterLab, JupyterHub, Binder, and nteract’s Papermill, offer new pipelines and services to allow open research to scale and impact others on a global scale.
RVxTESS: Mitigating RV Signal Induced by Stellar Jitter

description: The Radial Velocity (RV) method, measuring the Doppler Shifts from stellar spectra, is widely used for the detection and characterization of exoplanets. For low-mass planets, RV detection typically requires cm/s precision, whereas the stellar jitter becomes an issue at the m/s level. Thus, it is essential to mitigate such stellar jitter in order to detect Earth-like planets using RVs. Our project will focus on the asteroseismic signals of stellar jitter, including stellar oscillation and granulation. We study HD 5562 with fitting the model of stellar jitter to the observational data from TESS and Carnegie Planet Finder Spectrograph with Magellan II Telescope (Magellan/PFS). HD 5562 is a G-type subgiant with 0.93M⨀. It has a magnitude of V=7.16 and a luminosity of 2.3L⨀. Previously, mitigating the stellar oscillation signal is done by averaging it out via longer exposures and taking multiple observations. We take a different approach and conduct a Gaussian Process (GP) regression on the star's photometric and RV data to describe the stellar jitter. Our new model suggests that the primary mode of its oscillation is around 15 minutes, shorter than the previous prediction of 44 minutes derived from its mass and luminosity. The periodogram suggests that photometrically, granulation has a stronger signal than oscillation in the light curve. The preliminary result for photometric data from TESS shows 2 granulation terms and 1 oscillation term. The RV fit will be aided by the GP regression of the light curve. Our project is part of the RVxTESS program (RVxTESS.com), which combines simultaneous TESS photometry with ground-based RV observations to study stellar jitter.

description: We report on an improved measurement of the 2νββ half-life of Xe-136 performed by EXO-200. The use of a large and homogeneous time projection chamber allows for the precise estimate of the fiducial mass used for the measurement, resulting in a small systematic uncertainty. We also discuss in detail the data analysis methods used for double-beta decay searches with EXO-200, while emphasizing those directly related to the present measurement. The Xe-136 2νββ half-life is found to be 2.165 +- 0.016 (stat) +- 0.059 (sys) x 10^21 years. This is the most precisely measured half-life of any 2νββ decay to date.

description: Metamaterials, artificially structured electromagnetic (EM) materials, have enabled the realization of many unconventional electromagnetic properties not found in nature, such as negative refractive index, magnetic response, invisibility cloaking and so on. Based on these man-made materials with novel EM properties, various devices have been designed and realized. However, quantum analog devices based on metamaterials have not been achieved so far. Here we designed and printed metamaterials to perform quantum search algorithm. The structures, comprising of an array of two-dimensional (2D) sub-wavelength air holes with different radii perforated on the dielectric layer, have been fabricated by using 3D printing technique. When an incident wave enters in the designed metamaterials, the profile of beam wavefront is processed iteratively as it propagates through the metamaterial periodically. After roundtrips, precisely the same as the efficiency of quantum search algorithm, searched items will be found with the incident wave all focusing on the marked positions. Such a metamaterial-based quantum searching simulator may lead to remarkable achievements in wave-based signal processors.

description: Split-C is a parallel extension of the C programming language primarily intended for distributed memory multiprocessors. It is designed around two objectives. The first is to capture certain useful elements of shared memory, message passing, and data parallel programming in a familiar context, while eliminating the primary deficiencies of each paradigm. The second is to provide efficient access to the underlying machine, with no surprises. (This is similar to the original motivation for C---to provide a direct and obvious mapping from high-level programming constructs to low-level machine instructions.) Split-C does not try to obscure the inherent performance characteristics of the machine through sophisticated transformations. This combination of generality and transparency of the language gives the algorithm or library designer a concrete optimization target. This document describes the central concepts in Split-C and provides a general introduction to programming in the language. Both the language and the document are undergoing active development, so please view the document as working notes, rather than the final language definition

description: We have explored the nonlinear dynamics of an optomechanical system consisting of an illuminated Fabry-Perot cavity, one of whose end-mirrors is attached to a vibrating cantilever. Such a system can experience negative light-induced damping and enter a regime of self-induced oscillations. We present a systematic experimental and theoretical study of the ensuing attractor diagram describing the nonlinear dynamics, in an experimental setup where the oscillation amplitude becomes large, and the mirror motion is influenced by several optical modes. A theory has been developed that yields detailed quantitative agreement with experimental results. This includes the observation of a regime where two mechanical modes of the cantilever are excited simultaneously.

description: Phaethon (3200) is an active Near Earth Asteroid classified as a B-type object and a suspected former member of the Pallas family. In this article, we search for sources of Phaethon-like orbits originating from the two strongest resonances in the region of the Pallas family; namely, the 5:2 and 8:3 mean motion resonances with Jupiter, located at $a\sim 2.82$ AU and $a \sim 2.70$ AU, respectively. The probability for this dynamical connection observed in \cite{deLeon2010} was close to $2$ per cent. Using sophisticated numerical methods, we found a highly efficient dynamical flow between Pallas and Phaethon. As many as $43.6$ per cent of test particles placed in the 5:2 resonance were able to reach the orbit of Phaethon; whereas, for the 8:3 resonance, this percentage was $46.9$ per cent.

title: Establishing the most suitable processes in the recruitment and retention of deck cadets into the UK Merchant Navy.
Creators: name: Kelly, B
Publisher: name: Liverpool John Moores University

description: There has been under recruitment of deck cadets into the UK Merchant Navy for many years, and even with increased funding and support to increase the numbers being recruited, there are still not enough cadets progressing to Officer of the Watch each year, to support the needs of the industry in the future. The factors to consider in this are the numbers being recruited and the retention rates of those on the training programmes. This research looks at both issues and evaluates the contributing factors, including the different levels of control in place through national and international input on standards, against the requirements of those employing cadets through training to officer of the watch. The research then assesses the training programmes in place and considers retention at different stages of these programmes, particularly after the initial sea phase which is the most likely point for leaving the training programme. The research then combines these elements and considers if alternative selection techniques can be used that can improve retention rates. The research discovers those traits that predominate in the profile of UK personnel who continue in a career at sea, then provides the test to be used to identify similar traits at recruitment stage, to ensure that those being offered cadetships have a higher likelihood of continuing in the profession. The research also assesses the possibility of using this method to identify those recruited that may need better support during training to reduce attrition. Current policies are also discussed to establish the most suitable way forward in the structure of deck cadet programmes, and in the selection processes. It was found that personnel who stay at sea in the role of deck officer generally demonstrated higher than median scores in conscientiousness and lower than median scores in extraversion, though the female participants demonstrated higher than median scores in extraversion. The test was then refined against those currently in use in this area, and tested against a group of first phase cadets to see if it could be used as a diagnostic for those needing support to better prepare them for their first sea phase. It was concluded that a personality test focussed on conscientiousness and extraversion, can aid in decision making at recruitment stage of deck cadets, can be an aid to identification of the sector of employment most suited to an individual recruit, or as a diagnostic to identify where more preparation is needed to ensure that expectations are managed against the realities of the first sea phase.
