description: In the classical Josephson effect the phase difference across the junction is well defined, and the supercurrent is reduced only weakly by phase diffusion. For mesoscopic junctions with small capacitance the phase undergoes large quantum fluctuations, and the current is also decreased by Coulomb blockade effects. We discuss the behavior of the current-voltage characteristics in a large range of parameters comprising the phase diffusion regime with coherent Josephson current as well as the supercurrent peak due to incoherent Cooper pair tunneling in the Coulomb blockade regime.

description: Cosmic ray nuclei fluxes are expected to be measured with high precision in the near future. For instance, high quality data on the antiproton component could give important clues about the nature of the astronomical dark matter. A very good understanding of the different aspects of cosmic ray propagation is therefore necessary. In this paper, we use cosmic ray nuclei data to give constraints on the diffusion parameters. Propagation is studied with semi-analytical solutions of a diffusion model, and we give new analytical solutions for radioactively produced species. Our model includes convection and reacceleration as well as the standard energy losses. We perform a $χ^2$ analysis over B/C data for a large number of configurations obtained by varying the relevant parameters of the diffusion model. A very good agreement with B/C data arises for a number of configurations, all of which are compatible with sub-Fe/Fe data. Different source spectra $Q(E)$ and diffusion coefficients $K(E)$ have been tried, but for both parameters only one form gives a good fit. Another important result is that models without convection or without reacceleration are excluded. We find that the various parameters, i.e. the diffusion coefficient normalisation $K_0$ and spectral index $δ$, the halo thickness $L$, the Alfvén velocity $V_a$, and the convection velocity $V_c$ are strongly correlated. We obtain limits on the spectral index $δ$ of thediffusion coefficient, and in particular we exclude a Kolmogorov spectrum ($δ= 1/3$).

description: We study the nonequilibrium Josephson current in a long two-dimensional ballistic SNS-junction with a normal reservoir coupled to the normal part of the junction. The current for a given superconducting phase difference $ϕ$ oscillates as a function of voltage applied between the normal reservoir and the SNS-junction. The period of the oscillations is $π\hbar v_F/L$, with $L$ the length of the junction, and the amplitude of the oscillations decays as $V^{-3/2}$ for $eV \gg \hbar v_{F}/L$ and zero temperature. The critical current $I_c$ shows a similar oscillating, decaying behavior as a function of voltage, changing sign every oscillation. Normal specular or diffusive scattering at the NS-interfaces does not qualitatively change the picture.

description: We present an approach for analyzing the dc current in voltage biased quantum superconducting junctions. By separating terms from different $n$-particle processes, we find that the $n$-particle current can be mapped on the problem of wave transport through a potential structure with $n$ barriers. We discuss the relation between resonances in such structures and the subgap structures in the current-voltage characteristics. At zero temperature we find, exactly, that only processes creating real excitations contribute to the current. Our results are valid for a general SXS-junction, where the X-region is an arbitrary non-superconducting region described by an energy-dependent transfer matrix.

Upper critical field for anisotropic superconductivity. A tight-binding approach

description: We study the problem of the upper critical field ($H_{c2}$) for tight-binding electrons in a two-dimensional lattice. The external magnetic field is introduced into the model Hamiltonian both via the Peierls substitution and the Zeeman term. Carrying out calculations for finite systems we analyze the influence of the external field in the commensurable and incommensurable case on an equal footing. The upper critical field has been discussed for intrasite as well as anisotropic intersite pairing that, in the absence of magnetic field, has a $d_{x^2-y^2}$ symmetry. A comparison of $H_{c2}$ determined for different symmetries shows that the on-site pairing is more affected by the external field i.e., the critical temperature for the on-site pairing decreases with the increase of the magnetic field faster than in the anisotropic case. Moreover, we have shown that the tight-binding form of the Bloch energy can lead to the upward curvature of $H_{c2}$, provided that the Fermi level is close enough to the van Hove singularity.

Persistence in systems with algebraic interaction

Year: 1998
Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)

description: Persistence in coarsening 1D spin systems with a power law interaction $r^{-1-σ}$ is considered. Numerical studies indicate that for sufficiently large values of the interaction exponent $σ$ ($σ\geq 1/2$ in our simulations), persistence decays as an algebraic function of the length scale $L$, $P(L)\sim L^{-θ}$. The Persistence exponent $θ$ is found to be independent on the force exponent $σ$ and close to its value for the extremal ($σ\to \infty$) model, $\barθ=0.17507588...$. For smaller values of the force exponent ($σ< 1/2$), finite size effects prevent the system from reaching the asymptotic regime. Scaling arguments suggest that in order to avoid significant boundary effects for small $σ$, the system size should grow as ${[{\cal O}(1/σ)]}^{1/σ}$.

description: I review some of the basic observational details of jets from X-ray binaries, or `microquasars'. It is shown that in both (Z and Atoll) NS and BHC systems radio emission, and therefore jet formation, is correlated with the presence of hard (30-500 keV) X-ray emission. At gamma-ray (> 500 keV) energies, the relation is not so clear. Possible physical connections between the presence of a jet, with a population of relativistic electrons, and the emission of hard X-rays, are briefly discussed.

Power floating plastic-state concrete for additive manufacturing applications

Publisher: name: Loughborough University

Subjects: classificationCode: 339999
subject: Other built environment and design not elsewhere classified

description: Additive manufacturing (AM) for delivering construction is rapidly developing worldwide, with significant effort on the control and measurement of the quality materials, and less di-rected towards enhancing the surface quality of printed parts. The presence of the staircase effect, a well-known feature of 3DCP (3D Concrete Printing), imposes limitations on achiev-ing desired aesthetics and manufacturing tolerances. Secondary processes like floating have been demonstrated to show benefits for sprayed concrete surfaces, however, studies of the parameters for application using mix designs for additive manufacturing based on extrusion of cement-based mortars have not been explored. This thesis addresses this gap by proposing and evaluating a micro-power floating technique to enhance surface quality in 3DCP before the material hardens. Traditional surface finishing methods like sandblasting, trowelling, and grinding require the concrete to be set; how-ever, applying power floating in an intermediary stage offers a more efficient solution that reduces energy use and minimizes waste. Power floating, conventionally employed to achieve smooth finishes in concrete slabs, is adapted here for automation using smaller-scale floating devices on a robotic arm. This approach enables finishing of complex, smaller elements such as panels and slabs within AM workflows.The novelty of this research lies in experimentally determining optimal power-floating pa-rameters—specifically tool pressure, rotational speed, dwell time, traverse speed, and tool-path patterns—to achieve enhanced surface metrics. Trials with 123 mm and 215 mm diame-ter floating devices yielded quantifiable improvements in flatness and smoothness, measured by high-resolution optical instruments (Talysurf CLI 2000, Alicona G4 InfiniteFocus) and Basler L acA4096-30 imaging.Results indicated that an applied tool force between 20-40 N, rotational speeds of 150-300 RPM, and a traverse speed of 200 mm/s provided the best surface quality outcomes. Surface roughness, represented by Ra values, ranged from 1.92 to 13.81 μm, aligning with the Honed Smooth to Heavy Texture grades of ST115 standards. These measurements corresponded well with subjective quality assessments, validating the process effectiveness. This work thus establishes a practical framework for enhancing surface quality in 3DCP, bridging the current gap in finishing techniques applicable to AM for construction.
Self Modulation and Scattering Instability of a Relativistic Short Laser Pulse in an Underdense Plasma

Year: 2018
Subjects: subject: Plasma Physics (physics.plasm-ph)

description: Characterization of self-consistent laser-plasma evolutions serves as a fundamental issue in the field of relativistic laser-plasma interactions. In this paper, we present an analysis framework for description of these evolutions during propagation of a short intense laser pulse in a sub-critical high-density plasma (the pulse length exceeds the plasma wavelength). In this context, the pulse evolutions are attributed to the wakefield induced self-modulation and destabilization via parametric exponentiation of the initial noise content. The self-consistent plasma evolutions are formulated in terms of quantities which used to be motion constants in the absence of pulse evolutions. This proves very useful both in understanding plasma evolutions during self-modulation and also in facilitating the instability studies in the strongly nonlinear regime, via refinement of unstable plasma perturbations. General analytical solutions, at arbitrary pulse conditions, are derived for self-modulation, indicating that the envelop evolutions are driven by the induced spatial frequency-chirp. Also, these results state that the envelope attains fine modulations which produce long wavelength low-frequency modes via beating the carrier mode. The plasma wave variations are found to convect and amplify away from the pulse front. Regarding parametric instability, we assess different scattering regimes at different pulse shapes and peak intensities, manifesting anomalous behaviors ranging from wild positioning of the Stokes wave in dispersion plane to broadening in the scattered spectrum and halting the instability. Our analyses are assisted and verified by numerous fluid and particle-in-cell simulations. Based on our results, we discuss phenomena like the pulse breakup and its different regimes, and assisted particle acceleration in presence of pulse evolutions.

description: We propose in this work RBM-SVGD, a stochastic version of Stein Variational Gradient Descent (SVGD) method for efficiently sampling from a given probability measure and thus useful for Bayesian inference. The method is to apply the Random Batch Method (RBM) for interacting particle systems proposed by Jin et al to the interacting particle systems in SVGD. While keeping the behaviors of SVGD, it reduces the computational cost, especially when the interacting kernel has long range. Numerical examples verify the efficiency of this new version of SVGD.

description: We investigate the scaling properties of eigenstates of a one-dimensional (1D) Anderson model in the presence of a constant electric field. The states show a transition from exponential to factorial localization. For infinite systems this transition can be described by a simple scaling law based on a single parameter $λ_{\infty} = l_{\infty}/l_{\rm el}$, the ratio between the Anderson localization length $l_{\infty}$ and the Stark localization length~$l_{\rm el}$. For finite samples, however, the system size $N$ enters the problem as a third parameter. In that case the global structure of eigenstates is uniquely determined by two scaling parameters $λ_N=l_\infty/N$ and $λ_\infty=l_\infty/l_{\rm el}$.

description: The solid nematic equivalent of the Fredericks transition is found to depend on a critical field rather than a critical voltage as in the classical case. This arises because director anchoring is principally to the solid rubbery matrix of the nematic gel rather than to the sample surfaces. Moreover, above the threshold field, we find a competition between quartic (soft) and conventional harmonic elasticity which dictates the director response. By including a small degree of initial director misorientation, the calculated field variation of optical anisotropy agrees well with the conoscopy measurements of Chang et al (Phys.Rev.E56, 595, 1997) of the electro-optical response of nematic gels.

description: Excerpts from the report Introduction: Accounting in the wholesale food distribution business usually includes all the work necessary to maintain the general ledger, to prepare statements such as the statement of financial condition (balance sheet) and statement of income (profit and loss), to analyze sales by departments, to prepare reports on payroll and inventory for insurance purposes, and to prepare income tax reports. The man-hours required for accounting comprise a major cost in the offices of wholesalers. The accounting system in this report is designed to help wholesale food distributors to establish more accurately their costs of distribution by product sales division and by combined operations. Uniform reporting can result in improved inventory turnover and accurate reporting of financial and operating results. Concise presentation of such data provides management with information needed to effectively operate the business. The primary objectives of this study were: (1) To apply the principles of work simplification to assembling, posting, totaling, and balancing the thousands of daily transactions for accumulating and summarizing into the records of account; (2) to develop improved methods of financial reporting to management and a standard simplified procedure for maintaining the general ledger with manual methods, automatic tabulating machine methods, and electronic computers having memory units; (3) to develop a method of providing reports, as byproducts of the accounting system, on productivity in warehousing, selling, and delivery; and (4) to develop a method of accounting and account classification that can be used throughout the industry.

Aucun spécimen valide de cette espèce n’existant à notre connaissance dans les collections muséales et privées de Suisse consultées, la capture de cet individu constitue sa première mention suisse. L’individu a été récolté au moyen d’un piège d’interception placé dans une chênaie pubescente, en bordure de pelouse steppique. Cette espèce, répandue en Europe centrale et méditerranéenne, remonte en France le Rhône jusqu’à Lyon seulement (Calmont 2016). Sa capture en Valais est dès lors extrêmement intéressante. L’écologie de l’espèce est encore partiellement méconnue. Néanmoins, il semblerait que l’adulte se rencontre sous les écorces, dans les cavités d’arbres et sur les lierres morts ou dépérissants, et parfois sous les pierres à proximité de bergeries (Calmont 2016). La larve se développerait à l’intérieur du crottin épars de brebis (Xambeu 1894).

Chromatic Signatures in the Microlensing of GRB Afterglows

description: We calculate the radial surface brightness profile of the image of a Gamma-Ray-Burst (GRB) afterglow. The afterglow spectrum consists of several power-law segments separated by breaks. The image profile changes considerably across each of the spectral breaks. It also depends on the density profile of the ambient medium into which the GRB fireball propagates. Gravitational microlensing by an intervening star can resolve the afterglow image. We calculate the predicted magnification history of GRB afterglows as a function of observed frequency and ambient medium properties. We find that intensive monitoring of a microlensed afterglow lightcurve can be used to reconstruct the parameters of the fireball and its environment, and provide constraints on particle acceleration and magnetic field amplification in relativistic blast waves.

We show that when a transverse magnetic field is applied, both the $ΔS=2$ excitation continuum and one-magnon mode appear in the low-lying excitation. When a longitudinal magnetic field is further applied, the excitation continuum changes into quantized excitation spectra. The quantized $ΔS=2$ excitation spectra originate from the confinement of two domain walls, each of which carries $ΔS=1$. The quantized excitation energies are explained by the negative zeros in the Airy function.

description: The GAIA astrometric mission has recently been approved as one of the next two `cornerstones' of ESA's science programme, with a launch date target of not later than mid-2012. GAIA will provide positional and radial velocity measurements with the accuracies needed to produce a stereoscopic and kinematic census of about one billion stars throughout our Galaxy (and into the Local Group), amounting to about 1 per cent of the Galactic stellar population. GAIA's main scientific goal is to clarify the origin and history of our Galaxy, from a quantitative census of the stellar populations. It will advance questions such as when the stars in our Galaxy formed, when and how it was assembled, and its distribution of dark matter. The survey aims for completeness to V=20 mag, with accuracies of about 10 microarcsec at 15 mag. Combined with astrophysical information for each star, provided by on-board multi-colour photometry and (limited) spectroscopy, these data will have the precision necessary to quantify the early formation, and subsequent dynamical, chemical and star formation evolution of our Galaxy. Additional products include detection and orbital classification of tens of thousands of extra-Solar planetary systems, and a comprehensive survey of some 10^5-10^6 minor bodies in our Solar System, through galaxies in the nearby Universe, to some 500,000 distant quasars. It will provide a number of stringent new tests of general relativity and cosmology. The complete satellite system was evaluated as part of a detailed technology study, including a detailed payload design, corresponding accuracy assesments, and results from a prototype data reduction development.

Formation of carbon-enhanced metal-poor stars as a consequence of inhomogeneous metal mixing

description: We present a novel scenario for the formation of carbon-enhanced metal-poor (CEMP) stars. Carbon enhancement at low stellar metallicities is usually considered a consequence of faint or other exotic supernovae. An analytical estimate of cooling times in low-metallicity gas demonstrates a natural bias, which favours the formation of CEMP stars as a consequence of inhomogeneous metal mixing: carbon-rich gas has a shorter cooling time and can form stars prior to a potential nearby pocket of carbon-normal gas, in which star formation is then suppressed due to energetic photons from the carbon-enhanced protostars. We demonstrate that this scenario provides a natural formation mechanism for CEMP stars from carbon-normal supernovae, if inhomogeneous metal mixing provides carbonicity differences of at least one order of magnitude separated by >10pc. In our fiducial (optimistic) model, 8% (83%) of observed CEMP-no stars ([Ba/Fe]<0) can be explained by this formation channel. This new scenario may change our understanding of the first supernovae and thereby our concept of the first stars. Future 3D simulations are required to assess the likelihood of this mechanism to occur in typical high-redshift galaxies.

description: The sudden photohole of least energy created in the photoemission process is a vibrationally excited state of a small polaron. Therefore the photoemission spectrum in LaMnO3 is predicted to have multiple Franck-Condon vibrational sidebands. This generates an intrinsic line broadening approximately 0.5 eV. The photoemission spectral function has two peaks whose central energies disperse with band width approximately 1.2 eV. Signatures of these phenomena are predicted to appear in angle-resolved photoemission spectra.

• 1 ex., Castel San Pietro (TI), 16.5.2017, 318 m, leg., det. & coll. Y. Chittaro, rev. F. Soldati.
 Cette espèce était considérée comme douteuse en Suisse, n’étant mentionnée que dans la littérature sans que des spécimens de référence aient pu être vérifiés (Chittaro & Sanchez 2016). La dissection d’un spécimen mâle d’ Isomira récolté en 2017 a permis de confirmer sa présence dans notre pays grâce à son édéage caractéristique (Fig. 1c). L’individu a été récolté en battant des branches basses de chênes et d’aubépines en fleur, en compagnie de nombreux Isomira murina (Linnaeus, 1758). Donnant suite à la découverte récente d’ Isomira costessii (Bertolini, 1868) dans l’est des Grisons (Cosandey et al. 2107), cette capture ajoute une espèce supplémentaire à la liste suisse du genre Isomira, qui en compte à présent cinq (I. costessii, I. hypocrita Mulsant, 1856, I. marcida Kiesenwetter, 1863, I. murina et I. testacea). La dissection systématique des individus mâles provenant des régions chaudes du pays pourrait permettre d’ajouter encore quelques espèces de ce genre d’identification difficile.

description: A variabilidade da doença de Parkinson torna a avaliação da doença um desafio. A doença possui além dos sintomas motores as flutuações que progridem com diferentes velocidades, dificultando as decisões terapêuticas. Além disso, atualmente o diagnóstico e avaliação são realizados por meio de escalas subjetivas que estão sujeitas a percepção de cada avaliador. Diante disso, tecnologias vêm sendo utilizadas para auxiliar os clínicos e promover maior qualidade de vida entre os acometidos. Dentre essas tecnologias, as vestíveis ou wearables são amplamente difundidas em serviços de saúde, especialmente na doença de Parkinson. Embora sejam bastante difundidas, ainda não estão consolidadas em ambientes clínicos. Para que haja adesão clínica dessas tecnologias, diversas etapas devem ser cumpridas que vão desde o desenvolvimento até a validação. Dentre essas etapas, destaca-se a escolha da atividade realizada para validação da tecnologia. Atualmente, muitos trabalhos utilizam as atividades propostas pela MDS-UPDRS (Movement Disorders Society - Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale), sendo que outros utilizam atividades funcionais. Porém, em muitos casos a escolha da atividade não é simples, exigindo um grande esforço dos pesquisadores. Diante do exposto esse trabalho propôs uma revisão das atividades mais recorrentes nos últimos cinco anos que utilizam tecnologias vestíveis na avaliação dos sintomas motores da doença de Parkinson. Essa revisão poderá auxiliar protocolos experimentais de trabalhos futuros.

description: We show that irradiation of a voltage-biased superconducting quantum point contact at frequencies of the order of the gap energy can remove the suppression of subgap dc transport through Andreev levels. Quantum interference among resonant scattering events involving photon absorption is furthermore shown to make microwave spectroscopy of the Andreev levels feasible. We also discuss how the same interference effect can be applied for detecting weak electromagnetic signals up to the gap frequency, and how it is affected by dephasing and relaxation.

description: In this paper, a series of novel 1H-dibenzo[a,c]carbazole derivatives of dehydroabietic acid bearing different N-(piperazin-1-yl)alkyl side chains were designed, synthesised and evaluated for their in vitro anticancer activities against three human hepatocarcinoma cell lines (SMMC-7721, HepG2 and Hep3B). Among them, compound 10g exhibited the most potent activity against three cancer cell lines with IC50 values of 1.39 ± 0.13, 0.51 ± 0.09 and 0.73 ± 0.08 µM, respectively. In the kinase inhibition assay, compound 10g could significantly inhibit MEK1 kinase activity with IC50 of 0.11 ± 0.02 µM, which was confirmed by western blot analysis and molecular docking study. In addition, compound 10g could elevate the intracellular ROS levels, decrease mitochondrial membrane potential, destroy the cell membrane integrity, and finally lead to the oncosis and apoptosis of HepG2 cells. Therefore, compound 10g could be a potent MEK inhibitor and a promising anticancer agent worthy of further investigations.
PQC: Triple Decomposition Problem Applied To GL(d, Fp) - A Secure Framework For Canonical Non-Commutative Cryptography

description: Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) attempts to find cryptographic protocols resistant to attacks using Shor polynomial time algorithm for numerical field problems or Grover search algorithm. A mostly overlooked but valuable line of solutions is provided by non-commutative algebraic structures, specifically canonical protocols that rely on one-way trapdoor functions (OWTF). Here we develop an algebraic framework who could be applied to different asymmetric protocols like D-H KE (Diffie-Hellman key exchange), Public Key Encryption, Digital Signature, ZKP (zero-knowledge proof) authentication, Oblivious Transfer, Multi-Party Computing, and so on. The trapdoor one-way functions selected are (a) Triple decomposition Problem (TDP) developed by Kurt, where a known element is factored into a product of three unknown factors and (b) a new version of conjugacy search that we refer from now on as Blind Conjugacy Search Problem (BCSP). Our platform structure is the general linear group GL(d,F_p) d-square non-singular matrices of prime field values. We give support to the fact that this framework is cryptographically secure against classical attacks like linear algebra attacks, length-based attacks, side-channel attacks against square (or duplicate) and multiply (or sum) algorithm, high sensitivity to pseudo random deterministic generators, etc. At same time it is immune against quantum attacks (using Grover and Shor), if the size parameters are carefully selected. Semantic security and IND-CCA2 compliance for this framework is discussed.

Analogies between the Black Hole Interior and the Type II Weyl Semimetals

description: In the Painleve--Gullstrand (PG) reference frame, the description of elementary particles in the background of a black hole (BH) is similar to the description of non-relativistic matter falling toward the BH center. The velocity of the fall depends on the distance to the center, and it surpasses the speed of light inside the horizon.~Another analogy to non-relativistic physics appears in the description of the massless fermionic particle. Its Hamiltonian inside the BH, when written in the PG reference frame, is identical to the Hamiltonian of the electronic quasiparticles in type~II Weyl semimetals (WSII) that reside in the vicinity of a type~II Weyl point. When these materials are in the equilibrium state, the type II Weyl point becomes the crossing point of the two pieces of the Fermi surface called Fermi pockets. {It was previously stated} that there should be a Fermi surface inside a black hole in equilibrium. In real materials, type II Weyl points come in pairs, and the descriptions of the quasiparticles in their vicinities are, to a certain extent, inverse. Namely, the directions of their velocities are opposite. In line with the mentioned analogy, we propose the hypothesis that inside the equilibrium BH there exist low-energy excitations moving toward the exterior of the BH. These excitations are able to escape from the BH, unlike ordinary matter that falls to its center. The important consequences to the quantum theory of black holes follow.

description: The increased relevance of social media in our daily life has been accompanied by efforts to manipulate online conversations and opinions. Deceptive social bots -- automated or semi-automated accounts designed to impersonate humans -- have been successfully exploited for these kinds of abuse. Researchers have responded by developing AI tools to arm the public in the fight against social bots. Here we review the literature on different types of bots, their impact, and detection methods. We use the case study of Botometer, a popular bot detection tool developed at Indiana University, to illustrate how people interact with AI countermeasures. A user experience survey suggests that bot detection has become an integral part of the social media experience for many users. However, barriers in interpreting the output of AI tools can lead to fundamental misunderstandings. The arms race between machine learning methods to develop sophisticated bots and effective countermeasures makes it necessary to update the training data and features of detection tools. We again use the Botometer case to illustrate both algorithmic and interpretability improvements of bot scores, designed to meet user expectations. We conclude by discussing how future AI developments may affect the fight between malicious bots and the public.
