description: We investigate the dynamics around an obstacle potential moving in the plane-wave state of a pseudospin-$1/2$ Bose-Einstein condensate with Rashba spin-orbit coupling. We numerically investigate the dynamics of the system and find that it depends not only on the velocity of the obstacle but also significantly on the direction of obstacle motion, which are verified by a Bogoliubov analysis. The excitation diagram with respect to the velocity and direction is obtained. The dependence of the critical velocity on the strength of the spin-orbit coupling and the size of the obstacle is also investigated.

description: Using the N=4, 1D harmonic superspace approach, we construct a new type of N=4 supersymmetric mechanics involving 4n-dimensional Quaternion-Kähler (QK) 1D sigma models as the bosonic core. The basic ingredients of our construction are {\it local} N=4, 1D supersymmetry realized by the appropriate transformations in 1D harmonic superspace, the general N=4, 1D superfield vielbein and a set of 2(n+1) analytic "matter" superfields representing (n+1) off-shell supermultiplets (4, 4, 0). Both superfield and component actions are given for the simplest QK models with the manifolds \mathbb{H}H^n = Sp(1,n)/[Sp(1) x Sp(n)] and \mathbb{H}P^n = Sp(1+n)/[Sp(1) x Sp(n)] as the bosonic targets. For the general case the relevant superfield action and constraints on the (4, 4, 0) "matter" superfields are presented. Further generalizations are briefly discussed.

description: The ruggedness of HBT Class-C power amplifiers was improved by adding an anti-parallel diode to the amplifier input to limit the negative swing of the base-emitter voltage. The improved amplifier could withstand 3:1 instead of 2:1 mismatch in CW operation, and 2.5:1 instead of 1.5:1 mismatch in pulse operation. In contrast to other approaches with emitter ballast, active feedback, or electrostatic discharge protection circuits, the present approach is simple to implement and has negligible impact on overall amplifier output power, gain or efficiency.

Single particle in a reflection-asymmetric potential

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: Nuclear Theory (nucl-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Single particles moving in a reflection-asymmetric potential are investigated by solving the Schrödinger equation of the reflection-asymmetric Nilsson Hamiltonian with the imaginary time method in 3D lattice space and the harmonic oscillator basis expansion method. In the 3D lattice calculation, the $\bm{l}^2$ divergence problem is avoided by introducing a damping function, and the$\langle \bm{l^2}\rangle_N$ term in the non-spherical case is calculated by introducing an equivalent $N$-independent operator. The efficiency of these numerical techniques is demonstrated by solving the spherical Nilsson Hamiltonian in 3D lattice space. The evolution of the single-particle levels in a reflection-asymmetric potential is obtained and discussed by the above two numerical methods, and their consistency is shown in the obtained single-particle energies with the differences smaller than 10$^{-4}~[\hbarω_0]$.

description: I elaborate on my prediction that an indirect detection of cold dark matter (CDM) may be possible by observing the gravitational lensing effects of the CDM cusp caustics at cosmological distances. Cusps in the distribution of CDM are plentiful once density perturbations enter the nonlinear regime of structure formation. Caustic ring model of galactic halo formation provides a well defined density profile and geometry near the cusps of the caustic rings. I calculate the gravitational lensing effects of the cusps in this model. As a pointlike background source passes behind a cusp of a cosmological foreground halo, the magnification in its image may be detected by present instruments. Depending on the strength of detected effect and the time scale of brightness change, it may even be possible to discriminate between the CDM candidates: axions and weakly interacting massive particles.

description: Thermal systems are an attractive setting for exploring the connections between the lumped-element approximations of elementary circuit theory and the partial-differential field equations of mathematical physics, a topic that has been neglected in physics curricula. In a calculation suitable for an undergraduate course in mathematical physics, we show that the response function between an oscillating heater and temperature probe has a smooth crossover between a low-frequency, "lumped-element" regime where the system behaves as an electrical capacitor and a high-frequency regime dominated by the spatial dependence of the temperature field. Undergraduates can easily (and cheaply) explore these ideas experimentally in a typical advanced laboratory course. Because the characteristic frequencies are low, ($\approx$ 30 s)$^{-1}$, measuring the response frequency by frequency is slow and challenging; to speed up the measurements, we introduce a useful, if underappreciated experimental technique based on a multisine power signal that sums carefully chosen harmonic components with random phases. Strikingly, we find that the simple model of a one-dimensional, finite rod predicts a temperature response in the frequency domain that closely approximates experimental measurements from an irregular, blob-shaped object. The unexpected conclusion is that the frequency response of this irregular thermal system is nearly independent of its geometry, an example of---and justification for---the "spherical cow" approximations so beloved of physicists.

New inertial regularized algorithm for solving strongly pseudomonotone equilibrium problems

description: The article introduces a new algorithm for solving a class ofequilibrium problems involving strongly pseudomonotone bifunctions with Lipschitz-type condition. We describe how to incorporate the proximal-like regularized technique with inertial effects. The main novelty of the algorithm is that it can be done without previously knowing the information on the strongly pseudomonotone and Lipschitz-type constants of cost bifunction. A reasonable explain for this is that the algorithm uses a sequence of stepsizes which is diminishing and non-summable. Theorem of strong convergence is proved. In the case, when the information on the modulus of strong pseudomonotonicity and Lispchitz-type constant is known,the rate of linear convergence of the algorithm has been established. Several of numerical experiments are performed to illustrate the convergence of the algorithm and also compare it with other algorithms.

description: Coaching technology, wearables and exergames can provide quantitative feedback based on measured activity, but there is little evidence of qualitative feedback to aid technique improvement. To achieve personalised qualitative feedback, we demonstrated a proof-of-concept prototype combining kinesiology and computational intelligence that could help improving tennis swing technique utilising three-dimensional tennis motion data acquired from multi-camera video. Expert data labelling relied on virtual 3D stick figure replay. Diverse assessment criteria for novice to intermediate skill levels and configurable coaching scenarios matched with a variety of tennis swings (22 backhands and 21 forehands), included good technique and common errors. A set of selected coaching rules was transferred to adaptive assessment modules able to learn from data, evolve their internal structures and produce autonomous personalised feedback including verbal cues over virtual camera 3D replay and an end-of-session progress report. The prototype demonstrated autonomous assessment on future data based on learning from prior examples, aligned with skill level, flexible coaching scenarios and coaching rules. The generated intuitive diagnostic feedback consisted of elements of safety and performance for tennis swing technique, where each swing sample was compared with the expert. For safety aspects of the relative swing width, the prototype showed improved assessment ...

description: In this Letter we propose a formation channel for low-mass X-ray binaries with black hole accretors and non-degenerate donors via grazing tidal encounters with subgiants. We estimate that in a typically dense globular cluster with the core density of $10^5$ stars pc$^{-3}$, the formation rates are about one binary per Gyr per 50-100 retained black holes. The donors -- stripped subgiants -- will be strongly underluminous when compared to subgiant or giant branch stars of the same colors. The products of tidal stripping are underluminous by at least one magnitude for several hundred million years, when compared to normal stars of the same color, and differ from underluminous red stars that could be produced by non-catastrophic mass transfer in an ordinary binary. The dynamically formed binaries become quiescent low-mass X-ray binaries, with lifetimes of about a Gyr. The expected number of X-ray binaries is one per 50-200 retained black holes, while the expected number of strongly underluminous subsubgiant is about half this. The presence of strongly underluminous stars in a globular cluster may be indicative of black holes presence.

description: In this note, two important transport observables in the RHIC experiment, relaxation time constant and jet quenching parameter, are calculated from an AdS/QCD model. A quark moving in the viscous medium such as the Quark-Gluon-Plasma is modelled by an open string whose end point travels on the boundary of a deformed AdS_5 black hole. The correction introduced via the deformed AdS_5 is believed to help us better understand the data which is expected to be measured in the RHIC.

description: In early 1945 I was three years old. My mother and I had been evacuated to Wales but were now back in the East End of London as my father was still serving in the Royal Fusiliers. One Sunday lunchtime my grandparents were up at the local pub. Mum had just taken the Sunday roast out of the oven and put it on the kitchen table to cool. At this point, I should say we were lucky to have a roast, but Grandad worked at Smith Field Meat Market, so that explains that. As Mum put the joint on the kitchen table she heard the sound of a doodlebug, when the engine cut out she knew it was coming down. Grabbing me she got under the sturdy kitchen table. The doodlebug came down a couple of streets away, but the explosion shook our house. When we came out from under the table, flakes of whitewash from the ceiling had covered the Sunday joint. It couldn't be wasted, so Mum cleaned them off with a tea towel and we had our Sunday dinner as normal when my grandparents came home from the local pub. This is one of my earliest memories.My second memory concerns my father returning from the war in the summer of 1945. By then my mother and I were sharing a house with another family in Bow. We had the upstairs of the house, and I remember my mother telling me to watch out of the window for a soldier coming down the road as it might be my dad. When he arrived I didn't know him. He gave me some chocolate, but later on, I was upset because I was made to sleep in a single bed in another room, whereas I'd been used to sharing my mother's bed.

The average jitter of VoIP transiting the WiFi-UMTS network has been found to be lower than that of either solely through the WiFi and the UMTS networks. It is normally expected to be higher than traversing through the WiFi network only. Both the MOS (Mean Opinion Score) and the packet end-to-end delay were also found to be much lower than expected through the heterogeneous WiFi-UMTS network.

description: My father was an orphan. His father was a conscientious objector in the First World War and died from Spanish Flu when Dad was only 1 year old. He revered his father's memory and when the second war came along, even though he was in exempt employment, he registered as a conscientious objector. He was a Christadelphian like his father and as such could claim exemption. Christadelphians had gained this status during the American Civil War and this had gained official status in the first war. When his well-paid engineering job as a machine tool fitter turned to involvement in the manufacture of bombs, he felt he could not continue and went before a tribunal where his case was accepted. He had to accept work as a boot repairer paying only 1/3 of his earnings as an engineer. He was contracted to repair army boots and squared his conscience by trying to make sure the boots were properly repaired.To make ends meet my mother worked in the evenings when no one could see her. He wasn't demobbed until the early 50s and by that time didn't want to go back to engineering as he had become so used to working alongside Mum in the business they now owned.
Time-dependent models of two-phase accretion discs around black holes

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2006
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: We present time-dependent simulations of a two-phase accretion flow around a black hole. The accretion flow initially is composed of an optically thick and cool disc close to the midplane, while on top and below the disc there is a hot and optically thin corona. We consider several interaction mechanisms as heating of the disc by the corona and Compton cooling of the corona by the soft photons of the disc. Mass and energy can be exchanged between the disc and the corona due to thermal conduction. For the course of this more exploratory work, we limit ourselves to one particular model for a stellar mass black hole accreting at a low accretion rate. We confirm earlier both theoretical and observational results which show that at low accretion rates the disc close to the black hole cannot survive and is evaporated. Given the framework of this model, we now can follow through this phase of disc evaporation time dependently.

description: We show that there exist infinite number of recurrence relations valid for all energies among the open bosonic string scattering amplitudes (SSA) of three tachyons and one arbitrary string state, or the Lauricella SSA. Moreover, these infinite number of recurrence relations can be used to solve all the Lauricella SSA and express them in terms of one single four tachyon amplitude. These results extend the solvability of SSA at the high energy, fixed angle scattering limit and those at the Regge scattering limit discovered previously.

Flickering in Black Hole Accretion discs

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: We present an extension of the King et al. (2004) model for the flickering of black hole accretion discs by taking proper account for the thermal properties of the disc. First we develop a one-dimensional, vertically averaged, one-zone model for an optically thick accretion disc and study the temporal evolution. This limits the current model to the so-called high/soft state, where the X-Ray spectrum is dominated by a thermal black-body component. Then we couple this disc model to the flickering process as described in King et al. (2004). Thus we consider the evolution of a poloidal magnetic field subject to a magnetic dynamo. By comparing to observations of X-Ray binaries in the high-soft state, we can constrain the strength of the energy density of the poloidal magnetic field to a few percent of the energy density of the intrinsic disc magnetic field.

description: X-ray spectra of groups of galaxies, obtained with the GIS instrument onboard ASCA, were investigated for diffuse hard X-rays in excess of the soft thermal emission from their inter-galactic medium (IGM). In total, 18 objects with the IGM temperature of 0.7--1.7 keV were studied, including HCG 62 in particular. Non X-ray backgrounds in the GIS spectra were carefully estimated and subtracted. The IGM emission was represented by up to two temperature thermal models, which was determined in a soft energy band below 2.5 keV mainly by the SIS data. When extrapolated to a higher energy range of 4--8 keV, this thermal model under-predicted the background-subtracted GIS counts in HCG 62 and RGH 80 by > 2 sigma significance, even though the background uncertainties and the IGM modeling errors are carefully accounted. A hard excess could be also present in NGC 1399. The excess was successfully explained by a power-law model with a photon index ~ 2, or a thermal emission with a temperature exceeding ~ 3 keV. In HCG 62, the 2--10 keV luminosity of the excess hard component was found to be 5.5E41 erg/s at 2--10 keV, which is ~ 30% of the thermal IGM luminosity in 0.7--2.5 keV. Non-thermal and thermal interpretations of this excess components are discussed.

description: We use large-scale DFT calculations to investigate with unprecedented detail the so-called spin-orbit (SO) proximity effect in graphene adsorbed on the Pt(111) and Ni(111)/Au semi-infinite surfaces, previously studied via spin and angle resolved photoemission (SP-ARPES) experiments. The key finding is that, due to the hybridization with the metal's bands, the Dirac cones manifest an unexpectedly rich spin texture including out-of-plane and even radial in-plane spin components at (anti)crossings where local gap openings and deviations from linearity take place. Both the continuum character of the metallic bands and the back folding associated to the moiré patterns enhance the spin texture and induce sizable splittings which, nevertheless, only become giant (~100 meV) at anticrossing regions; that is, where electronic transport is suppressed. At the quasilinear regions the splitted bands typically disperse with different broadenings and tend to cross with their magnetization continuously changing in order to match that at the edges of the upper and lower gaps. As a result, both the splittings and spin direction become strongly k dependent. The SO manifests in an analogous way for the spin-polarized G/Au/Ni(111) system, although here the magnetic exchange interactions dominate inducing small splittings (~10 meV) in the $π$ bands while the SO mainly introduces a small Rashba splitting in the Dirac cones as their magnetization acquires a helical component. While revealing such complex spin texture seems challenging from the experimental side, our results provide an important reference for future SP-ARPES measurements of similar graphene based systems extensively investigated for applications in spintronics.

description: Ignacy SienkiewiczJune 1907 (Opatów Kielecki) - March 1996 (London)In 1925, whilst studying to be an electrical engineering at the University of Warsaw, Ignacy learnt to fly under the instruction of Franciszek Żwirko at the Pole Mokotowskie in Warsaw. The training took place on various biplanes after they had been decommissioned after the First World War and Ignacy eventually became a reserve pilot.In 1939, during the September campaign, he commanded a group of men in the construction of field airports. He escaped with his unit to Romania and from there, via the Black Sea, in a roundabout way, he ended up joining the Polish air force that was re-forming abroad in Lyon, France. After the surrender of France in June 1940, he was evacuated from St Jean de Luz to Blackpool, where the Polish air force had begun to re-form for the second time.Upon his arrival, during the Battle of Britain, he immediately served in the technical units as an electrical engineer. He implemented new equipment in bomb squadrons and then carried out work in specialised experimental units of Polish aviation. In 1947, he joined the RAF where, for the next 20 years, he served as a Flight Lieutenant in, amongst others, Egypt and Cyprus. After active service and until retirement, he continued to work with the latest technology in the arms industry.Ignacy jako student inżynier-elektryk Politechniki Warszawskiej zaczął się szkolić w 1925 roku z instruktorem Franciszkiem Żwirko na Polach Mokotowskich w Warszawie. Szkolenie odbywało się na rozmaitych dwupłatowcach z demobilu po pierwszej wojnie światowej. Jako lotnik pilot przeszedł do rezerwy.W 1939 podczas kampanii wrześniowej dowodził oddziałem budowy lotnisk polowych. Przeszedł z oddziałem do Rumunii a stamtąd okrężną drogą przez Morze Czarne dołączył do tworzącego się lotnictwa polskiego w Lyonie, we Francji. Po kapitulacji Francji w czerwcu 1940 ewakuowany z St Jean de Luz do Blackpool, gdzie po raz drugi odtwarzało się lotnictwo polskie.Zaraz po przybyciu, podczas Battle of Britain, służył w oddziałach technicznych jako inżynier elektryk. Wdrażał nowy osprzęt w dywizjonach bombowych a potem prowadził prace w specjalistycznych jednostkach doświadczalnych lotnictwa polskiego. W roku 1947 przeszedł do RAFu, w którym służył jako flight lieutenant przez kolejne 20 lat m. inn. w Egipcie i na Cyprze. Już w cywilu i do emerytury pracował przy najnowszej technologii w przemyśle zbrojeniowym.

description: Facial landmarks constitute the most compressed representation of faces and are known to preserve information such as pose, gender and facial structure present in the faces. Several works exist that attempt to perform high-level face-related analysis tasks based on landmarks. In contrast, in this work, an attempt is made to tackle the inverse problem of synthesizing faces from their respective landmarks. The primary aim of this work is to demonstrate that information preserved by landmarks (gender in particular) can be further accentuated by leveraging generative models to synthesize corresponding faces. Though the problem is particularly challenging due to its ill-posed nature, we believe that successful synthesis will enable several applications such as boosting performance of high-level face related tasks using landmark points and performing dataset augmentation. To this end, a novel face-synthesis method known as Gender Preserving Generative Adversarial Network (GP-GAN) that is guided by adversarial loss, perceptual loss and a gender preserving loss is presented. Further, we propose a novel generator sub-network UDeNet for GP-GAN that leverages advantages of U-Net and DenseNet architectures. Extensive experiments and comparison with recent methods are performed to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.

description: The picture "Brewing up in the Desert" was painted by my father, Ronald Birch. It was painted from memory about 1946 and exhibited at Shenstone Training College where Ronald was participating in the Emergency Teacher Training Scheme.The scene is set in the winter of 1942. It was cold at night, hence the greatcoats. The glow of the sky is a particular feature of the desert at night. Ronald is supervising a Crusader tank and depicts himself as the man with curly red hair standing in the centre of the group. The man at left is sitting on a munitions box.Ronald shows an open can of Maconochie stew. This was the basic ration in the Second World War as well as the first, and highly unpopular. It consisted of beef and vegetables - potatoes, beans and turnips - and caused flatulence. Next to it is a mess tin. The stove was a tin with holes punched in it, filled with sand and soaked with petrol. The water is being boiled in a cut-down container.Ronald was a radio operator in the 47th Royal Tank Regiment, part of the 8th Army Armoured Division at the Battle of El Alamein.

description: Broad line radio galaxies (BLRGs) are a rare type of radio-loud AGN, in which the broad optical permitted emission lines have been detected in addition to the extended jet emission. Here we report on deep (40ksec x4) observations of the bright BLRG 3C~120 using Suzaku. The observations were spaced a week apart, and sample a range of continuum fluxes. An excellent broadband spectrum was obtained over two decades of frequency (0.6 to 50 keV) within each 40 ksec exposure. We clearly resolved the iron K emission line complex, finding that it consists of a narrow K_a core (sigma ~ 110 eV or an EW of 60 eV), a 6.9 keV line, and an underlying broad iron line. Our confirmation of the broad line contrasts with the XMM-Newton observation in 2003, where the broad line was not required. The most natural interpretation of the broad line is iron K line emission from a face-on accretion disk which is truncated at ~10 r_g. Above 10 keV, a relatively weak Compton hump was detected (reflection fraction of R ~ 0.6), superposed on the primary X-ray continuum of Gamma ~ 1.75. Thanks to the good photon statistics and low background of the Suzaku data, we clearly confirm the spectral evolution of 3C120, whereby the variability amplitude decreases with increasing energy. More strikingly, we discovered that the variability is caused by a steep power-law component of Gamma ~2.7, possibly related to the non-thermal jet emission. We discuss our findings in the context of similarities and differences between radio-loud/quiet objects.

description: Dynamical interactions that take place between objects in dense stellar systems lead to frequent formation of exotic stellar objects, unusual binaries, and systems of higher multiplicity. They are most important for the formation of binaries with neutron stars and black holes, which are usually observationally revealed in mass-transferring binaries. Here we review the current understanding of compact object's retention, of the metallicity dependence on the formation of low-mass X-ray binaries with neutron stars, and how mass-transferring binaries with a black hole and a white dwarf can be formed. We discuss as well one old unsolved puzzle and two new puzzles posed by recent observations: what descendants do ultra-compact X-ray binaries produce, how are very compact triples formed, and how can black hole low-mass X-ray binaries acquire non-degenerate companions?

description: We develop methods needed to perform loop calculations in light cone perturbation theory using a helicity basis, refining the method introduced in our earlier work. In particular this includes implementing a consistent way to contract the four-dimensional tensor structures from the helicity vectors with d-dimensional tensors arising from loop integrals, in a way that can be fully automatized. We demonstrate this explicitly by calculating the one-loop correction to the virtual photon to quark-antiquark dipole light cone wave function. This allows us to calculate the deep inelastic scattering cross section in the dipole formalism to next-to-leading order accuracy. Our results, obtained using the four dimensional helicity scheme, agree with the recent calculation by Beuf using conventional dimensional regularization, confirming the regularization scheme independence of this cross section.
