Exact short-time height distribution and dynamical phase transition in the relaxation of a Kardar-Parisi-Zhang interface with random initial condition
Creators: name: Smith, Naftali R.
Publisher: name: arXiv

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

description: We consider the relaxation (noise-free) statistics of the one-point height $H=h(x=0,t)$ where $h(x,t)$ is the evolving height of a one-dimensional Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) interface, starting from a Brownian (random) initial condition. We find that, at short times, the distribution of $H$ takes the same scaling form $-\ln\mathcal{P}\left(H,t\right)=S\left(H\right)/\sqrt{t}$ as the distribution of H for the KPZ interface driven by noise, and we find the exact large-deviation function $S(H)$ analytically. At a critical value $H=H_c$, the second derivative of $S(H)$ jumps, signaling a dynamical phase transition (DPT). Furthermore, we calculate exactly the most likely history of the interface that leads to a given $H$, and show that the DPT is associated with spontaneous breaking of the mirror symmetry $x \leftrightarrow -x$ of the interface. In turn, we find that this symmetry breaking is a consequence of the non-convexity of a large-deviation function that is closely related to $S(H)$, and describes a similar problem but in half space. Moreover, the critical point $H_c$ is related to the inflection point of the large-deviation function of the half-space problem.

description: We discuss the local minimality of certain configurations for a nonlocal isoperimetric problem used to model microphase separation in diblock copolymer melts. We show that critical configurations with positive second variation are local minimizers of the nonlocal area functional and, in fact, satisfy a quantitative isoperimetric inequality with respect to sets that are $L^1$-close. The link with local minimizers for the diffuse-interface Ohta-Kawasaki energy is also discussed. As a byproduct of the quantitative estimate, we get new results concerning periodic local minimizers of the area functional and a proof, via second variation, of the sharp quantitative isoperimetric inequality in the standard Euclidean case. As a further application, we address the global and local minimality of certain lamellar configurations.

Plants 10-25 cm high, stem subterranean; corm rounded at base with curved acuminate teeth. Leaves 3-6, basal, narrowly 4-grooved, c. 1 mm diam.; outer bracts submembranous, often purplish with narrow brownish membranous margins, inner bracts with wide brown membranous margins. Flowers yellow with darker veins in the throat, unscented, tepals elliptic, 18-27 mm long; filaments 4-5 mm long, anthers 3-5 mm long. Fruiting peduncles suberect or curved. Flowering: June-Sep. Romulea monticola grows in sandy loam in fynbos on the Bokkeveld Mts. and Gifberg. It resembles yellow-flowered forms of R. obscura but is distinguished by the fruiting pedicels which remain erect or are only slightly curved. In addition the stamens in R. monticola are relatively shorter than in R. obscura and are included in the floral cup. It is also somewhat similar to narrowleaved forms of R. luteoflora, but in this species the green central portion of the bracts is much more distinct and the fruiting peduncles coil characteristically.

Studying the Peculiar Velocity Bulk Flow in a Sparse Survey of Type-Ia SNe

description: Studies of the peculiar velocity bulk flow based on different tools and datasets have been consistent so far in their estimation of the direction of the flow, which also happens to lie in close proximity to several features identified in the cosmic microwave background, providing motivation to use new compilations of type-Ia supernovae measurements to pinpoint it with better accuracy and up to higher redshift. Unfortunately, the peculiar velocity field estimated from the most recent Union2.1 compilation suffers from large individual errors, poor sky coverage and low redshift-volume density. We show that as a result, any naive attempt to calculate the best-fit bulk flow and its significance will be severely biased. Instead, we introduce an iterative method which calculates the amplitude and the scatter of the direction of the best-fit bulk flow as deviants are successively removed and take into account the sparsity of the data when estimating the significance of the result. Using 200 supernovae up to a redshift of z=0.2, we find that while the amplitude of the bulk flow is marginally consistent with the value expected in a LCDM universe given the large bias, the scatter of the direction is significantly low (at >= 99.5 C.L.) when compared to random simulations, supporting the quest for a cosmological origin.

description: This article generalizes the notion of the local density of a many-body system to introduce collective coordinates as explicit degrees of freedom. It is shown that the energy of the system can be expressed as a functional of this object. The latter can in turn be factorized as the product of the square of a collective wave function and a normalized collective-coordinate-dependent density. Energy minimization translates into a set of coupled equations, i.e. a local Schrödinger equation for the collective wave function and a set of Kohn-Sham equations for optimizing the normalized density at each point in the collective space. These equations reformulate the many-body problem exactly provided one is able to determine density- and collective-wave-function-dependent terms of the collective mass and potential which play a similar role to the exchange-correlation term in electronic Kohn-Sham density functional theory.

description: To understand turbulent convection at very high Rayleigh numbers typical of natural phenomena, computational studies in slender cells are an option if the needed resources have to be optimized within available limits. However, the accompanying horizontal confinement affects some properties of the flow. Here, we explore the characteristics of turbulent fluctuations in the velocity and temperature fields in a cylindrical convection cell of aspect ratio 0.1 by varying the Prandtl number $Pr$ between 0.1 and 200 at a fixed Rayleigh number $Ra = 3 \times 10^{10}$, and find that the fluctuations weaken with increasing $Pr$, quantitatively as in aspect ratio 25. The probability density function (PDF) of temperature fluctuations in the bulk region of the slender cell remains mostly Gaussian, but increasing departures occur as $Pr$ increases beyond unity. We assess the intermittency of the velocity field by computing the PDFs of velocity derivatives and of the kinetic energy dissipation rate, and find increasing intermittency as $Pr$ decreases. In the bulk region of convection, a common result applicable to the slender cell, large aspect ratio cells, as well as in 2D convection, is that the turbulent Prandtl number decreases as $Pr^{-1/3}$.

description: In this paper, we study a proposal put forward recently by Bodendorfer, Mele and Münch and Garc\'ıa-Quismondo and Marugán, in which the two polymerization parameters of spherically symmetric black hole spacetimes are the Dirac observables of the four-dimensional Ashtekar's variables. In this model, black and white hole horizons in general exist and naturally divide the spacetime into the external and internal regions. In the external region, the spacetime can be made asymptotically flat by properly choosing the dependence of the two polymerization parameters on the Ashtekar variables. Then, we find that the asymptotical behavior of the spacetime is universal, and, to the leading order, the curvature invariants are independent of the mass parameter $m$. For example, the Kretschmann scalar approaches zero as $K \simeq A_0r^{-4}$ asymptotically, where $A_0$ is generally a non-zero constant and independent of $m$, and $r$ the geometric radius of the two-spheres. In the internal region, all the physical quantities are finite, and the Schwarzschild black hole singularity is replaced by a transition surface whose radius is always finite and non-zero. The quantum gravitational effects are negligible near the black hole horizon for very massive black holes. However, the behavior of the spacetime across the transition surface is significantly different from all loop quantum black holes studied so far. In particular, the location of the maximum amplitude of the curvature scalars is displaced from the transition surface and depends on $m$, so does the maximum amplitude. In addition, the radius of the white hole is much smaller than that of the black hole, and its exact value sensitively depends on $m$, too.

description: We present the metamorphosis in the effective-potential profile of layered heterostructures, for several III-V semiconductor binary compounds, when the band mixing of light and heavy holes increases. A root-locus-like procedure, is directly applied to an eigenvalue quadratic problem obtained from a multichannel system of coupled modes, in the context of multiband effective mass approximation. By letting grow valence-band mixing, it is shown the standard fixed-height rectangular potential-energy for the scatterer distribution, to be a reliable test-run input for heavy holes. On the contrary, this scheme is no longer valid for light holes and a mutable effective \emph{band offset} profile has to be considered instead, whenever the in-plane kinetic energy changes.

Plants 10-40 cm high, stem subterranean; corm rounded at base with curved acuminate teeth. Leaves 4-10, basal, narrow or somewhat swollen, narrowly or widely 4-grooved, rarely minutely ciliate, 1-4 mm diam.; outer bracts with brown-streaked membranous margins and prominent membranous tip, inner bracts with wide brown-streaked membranous margins. Flowers magenta to pale pink or white with dark veins and dark blotches around the yellow cup which is often longitudinally veined, unscented, tepals obovate, 18-30 mm long; filaments 4-8 mm long, anthers 5-10 mm long. Fruiting peduncles recurved and later coiled. Flowering: July-Oct. Widespread and variable in flower size and markings, Romulea atrandra extends from the Hantamsberg at Calvinia in Northern Cape Province through the Roggeveld Escarpment and Cold Bokkeveld in the west to Hogsback in Eastern Cape Province. Plants grow in stony clay soils, most often in dolerite or shale. Roggeveld populations of R. atrandra have particularly large and attractive, dark pink flowers with a darkly streaked cup. Plants from the southern Cape can be confused with R. rosea but this species has suberect fruiting peduncles. Romulea atrandra appears to be the central species in series Atrandrae. This series is best developed on the Roggeveld Plateau, where it is represented by a cluster of closely related, narrowly endemic segregate species of R. atrandra. Differences between them are small, and mostly concern the color and markings of the flowers.

description: The propagation of an adhesive crack through an anisotropic heterogeneous interface is considered. Tuning the local toughness distribution function and spatial correlation is numerically shown to induce a transition between weak to strong pinning conditions. While the macroscopic effective toughness is given by the mean local toughness in case of weak pinning, a systematic toughness enhancement is observed for strong pinning (the critical point of the depinning transition). A self-consistent approximation is shown to account very accurately for this evolution, without any free parameter.

description: If we 2-color the vertices of a large hypercube what monochromatic substructures are we guaranteed to find? Call a set S of vertices from Q_d, the d-dimensional hypercube, Ramsey if any 2-coloring of the vertices of Q_n, for n sufficiently large, contains a monochromatic copy of S. Ramsey's theorem tells us that for any r \geq 1 every 2-coloring of a sufficiently large r-uniform hypergraph will contain a large monochromatic clique (a complete subhypergraph): hence any set of vertices from Q_d that all have the same weight is Ramsey. A natural question to ask is: which sets S corresponding to unions of cliques of different weights from Q_d are Ramsey? The answer to this question depends on the number of cliques involved. In particular we determine which unions of 2 or 3 cliques are Ramsey and then show, using a probabilistic argument, that any non-trivial union of 39 or more cliques of different weights cannot be Ramsey. A key tool is a lemma which reduces questions concerning monochromatic configurations in the hypercube to questions about monochromatic translates of sets of integers.

description: The structural phase behaviors of pure zirconium metal under compressions up to $160$ GPa at room temperature are investigated from the perspective of ensemble theory where the partition function is solved by our recently proposed method with \emph{ab initio} precision. The derived Gibbs free energy is employed as the very criterion to determine phase transitions and the calculated transition pressures of the $α\rightarrowω\rightarrowβ$ are $6.93$ and $24.83$ GPa respectively, the former one of which is so far the only theoretical result agreeing with multiple experimental measurements to our best knowledge. The differences between the obtained parameter-free equation of state and those from latest experiments are less than $1.5\%$ in the whole studied pressure range, and particularly, within $0.7\%$ when the applied pressure exceeds over $40$ GPa, the coincidence of which makes us support the argument that the previously observed anharmonicity-driven isostructural phase transition does not exist in the $β$-phase even though the thermal effects at room temperature are confirmed to be nontrivial to the phase stability by our quantitative comparisons with the results at $0$K.

description: We report a measurement of the dynamic (ac) scalar polarizability of the $5D_{3/2}$ state in $^{85}$Rb atoms at a laser wavelength of 1064~nm. Contrary to a recent measurement in Phys. Rev. \textbf{A} 104, 063304 (2021), the experiments are performed in a low-intensity regime in which the ac shift is less than the $5D_{3/2}$ state's hyperfine structure, as utilized in numerous experiments with cold, trapped atoms. The extracted ac polarizability is $α_{5D_{3/2}} = -499\pm59$~a.u., within the uncertainty of the aforementioned previous result. The calibration of the 1064~nm light intensity, performed by analyzing light shifts of the D1 line, is the main source of uncertainty. Our results are useful for applications of the Rb $5D_{3/2}$ state in metrology, quantum sensing, and fundamental-physics research on Rydberg atoms and molecules.

Enhanced mixing of partial waves near threshold for heavy meson pairs and properties of $Z_b(10610)$ and $Z_b(10650)$ resonances

description: The mixing of $S-D$ partial waves for the heavy meson pairs in the decays $Υ(5S) \to [B^* \bar B+ {\rm c.c.}] π$ and $Υ(5S) \to B^* \bar B^* π$ is considered. It is argued that this mixing, enhanced by the heavy meson mass, is calculable as dominated by a rescattering through pion exchange if the production of the heavy mesons is dominated by $S$-wave `molecular' resonances $Z_b(10610)$ and $Z_b(10650)$. The effect of the mixing grows with the c.m. energy $E$ in each channel over the threshold, and may reach $10 ÷20$% in the rate at the upper end of applicability of the discussed approach, $E \sim 15 $MeV. It is also argued that the mixing is likely to reach maximum at energy approximately equal to the mass gap between the thresholds.

description: Lifelong learning with types and it's important WHAT IS LIFELONG LEARNING? Lifelong Learning is the continuing development of knowledge and skills that people experience after formal education and throughout their lives. It involves the continuous pursuit of education and personal development beyond formal schooling or academic degrees. Lifelong learning recognizes that learning is not limited to a specific phase of life but is a lifelong endeavor that can occur at any age and in various contexts. THE IMPORTANCE OF LIFELONG LEARNING We live in the Knowledge Age, which means that the ability to apply the right knowledge effectively is an important skill and the cornerstone of our success. If you ever doubt the strength of knowledge and learning, just ask someone who hasn't used a computer in 10 years to find an article on the Internet. Learning makes us more interesting. Knowledge enables a different perspective, fascinating conversation and adeeper understanding. It makes us better people; allows us to make better, informed decisions; and assists us in becoming more successful in our careers. The advancement of technology has boosted the pace of our lives, and requires us to learn something new each day just to stay current in the workplace. Although on-the-job training is wonderful, you can't rely on your company to provide the necessary education. It's advantageous for everyone to make time for learning, seek outtheir own opportunities, use available resources wisely, and find new resources.

For practical viral marketing on large scale social networks, it is required that influence maximization algorithms should have both guaranteed accuracy and high scalability. However, existing algorithms suffer a scalability-accuracy dilemma: conventional greedy algorithms guarantee the accuracy with expensive computation, while the scalable heuristic algorithms suffer from unstable accuracy. In this paper, we focus on solving this scalability-accuracy dilemma. We point out that the essential reason of the dilemma is the surprising fact that the submodularity, a key requirement of the objective function for a greedy algorithm to approximate the optimum, is not guaranteed in all conventional greedy algorithms in the literature of influence maximization. Therefore a greedy algorithm has to afford a huge number of Monte Carlo simulations to reduce the pain caused by unguaranteed submodularity. Motivated by this critical finding, we propose a static greedy algorithm, named StaticGreedy, to strictly guarantee the submodularity of influence spread function during the seed selection process. The proposed algorithm makes the computational expense dramatically reduced by two orders of magnitude without loss of accuracy. Moreover, we propose a dynamical update strategy which can speed up the StaticGreedy algorithm by 2-7 times on large scale social networks.

Africa 7(2), 2: 68 (1983). — Type: Salter 3652, South Africa, Western Cape, Pakhuis Pass (holo-, BOL!; iso-, BM, K!). Plants 10-30 cm high, stem subterranean; corm rounded at base with curved acuminate teeth. Leaves 3-5, basal, filiform, narrowly 4- grooved, 1-2 mm diam.; outer bracts usually keeled above, with narrow, often brown-dotted membranous margins, inner bracts 2-keeled with colorless or brown-dotted membranous margins. Flowers yellow with dark brown markings at the edge of the cup, tepals obovate, 20-35 mm long; filaments 4-5 mm long, anthers 6-9 mm long. Fruiting peduncles at first spreading, later suberect. Flowering: Aug.- Sep. Romulea viridibracteata occurs on sandstone slopes in the mountains of Western Cape Province, South Africa. Although there is a single early record from Nieuwoudtville all subsequent collections have been made on the Pakhuis Pass above Clanwilliam. The only yellow-flowered species of series Spatalanthus, R. viridibracteata appears to be most closely allied to the red-flowered R. sabulosa, with which it shares fairly narrow leaves.

description: We show that the third order optical nonlinearity of 15-atom gold clusters is significantly enhanced when in contact with indium tin oxide (ITO) conducting film. Open and close aperture z-scan experiments together with non-degenerate pump-probe differential transmission experiments were done using 80 fs laser pulses centered at 395 nm and 790 nm on gold clusters encased inside cyclodextrin cavities. We show that two photon absorption coefficient is enhanced by an order of magnitude as compared to that when the clusters are on pristine glass plate. The enhancement for the nonlinear optical refraction coefficient is ~3 times. The photo-induced excited state absorption using pump-probe experiments at pump wavelength of 395 nm and probe at 790 nm also show an enhancement by an order of magnitude. These results attributed to the excited state energy transfer in the coupled gold cluster-ITO system are different from the enhancement seen so far in charge donor-acceptor complexes and nanoparticle-conjugate polymer composites.

description: This study aims to investigate the membrane-stabilizing and clot-lysis activities of an aqueous extract derived from the flowers of Canna indica (CIFA) on human blood in vitro. In this experiment, erythrocyte lysis was induced by a hypotonic solution, and clot formation was created by incubating the blood sample at 37 °C for 45 minutes. We conducted experiments using varying amounts of acetyl salicylic acid 6.25–100 µL and a fixed amount of streptokinase 100 µL as the positive control groups. The group designated as the negative control treated the vehicle. CIFA was treated at doses ranging from 6.25 to 100 µL. CIFA demonstrated dose-dependent membrane stabilizing and clot lysis abilities. The CIFA exhibited a wide range of membrane stabilizing capabilities, with a percentage of 71.03 ± 0.02 at a concentration of 100 µL. The EC50 of the test extract was calculated to be 47.43 ± 1.02 µL. In contrast, CIFA demonstrated clot lysis capabilities of 60.38 ± 2.37% at the same concentration, with the EC50 of the test extract calculated at 91.42 ± 1.86 µL. CIFA demonstrated significant membrane stabilizing and clot lysis activity in human blood, suggesting that they could be promising candidates for the treatment of atherothrombosis.

Bot. 53: 247 (1987). — Type: Oliver 8933, South Africa, Northern Cape, Roggeveld Escarpment, Farm Fransplaas (holo-, NBG!; iso-, K!, MO!, NBG!, PRE). Plants 15-30 cm high, stem subterranean; corm rounded at base with curved acuminate teeth. Leaves 1(2), basal, curved, somewhat spongy, broadly 4-grooved, 2-4 mm diam.; outer bracts keeled with narrow white membranous margins, inner bracts 2-keeled with white membranous margins. Flowers orange-red with black and yellow blotches at the edge of the cup, unscented, tepals obovate-cuneate, 28-45 mm long; filaments 5-6 mm long, anthers 9-12 mm long. Fruiting peduncles straight. Flowering: Aug.-Sep. Romulea unifolia was originally known only from the mid Roggeveld escarpment between Middelpos and Sutherland, where the plants have orange flowers, but a red-flowered population was recently located between Nieuwoudtville and Calvinia on the Bokkeveld Escarpment (sight record). The plants occur on dolerite flats in heavy clay soil. The species is recognized by the single, or rarely two foliage leaves and large orange or reddish flowers. The thick, widely grooved leaves suggest that it is most closely related to R. subfistulosa, which has four or more leaves and a magenta flower.

description: Broad X-ray emission lines from neutral and partially ionized iron observed in active galaxies have been interpreted as fluorescence produced by the reflection of hard X-rays off the inner edge of an accretion disk. In this model, line broadening and distortion result from rapid rotation and relativistic effects near the black hole, the line shape being sensitive to its spin. Alternative models in which the distortions result from absorption by intervening structures provide an equally good description of the data, and there has been no general agreement on which is correct. Recent claims that the black hole (2E6 solar masses) at the centre of the galaxy NGC 1365 is rotating at close to its maximum possible speed rest on the assumption of relativistic reflection. Here we report X-ray observations of NGC 1365 that reveal the relativistic disk features through broadened Fe line emission and an associated Compton scattering excess of 10-30 keV. Using temporal and spectral analyses, we disentangle continuum changes due to time-variable absorption from reflection, which we find arises from a region within 2.5 gravitational radii of the rapidly spinning black hole. Absorption-dominated models that do not include relativistic disk reflection can be ruled out both statistically and on physical grounds.

Economic Brief 1 - Energy Transition in the Arctic: Governance and Justice Implications
Creators: name: JUSTNORTH
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023
Subjects: Arctic economies, Economic development, Sustainable development, Values

description: This brief focuses on the governance and justice implications of the energy sector in (Sub-)Arctic in the context of ongoing energy transition. It presents insights into: (1) energy demand and energy services; (2) renewable energy and energy storage; and (3) oil and gas extraction. The brief looks at the current governance mechanisms and identifies fragmentation problems. Possible solutions for the shortcomings include: placing justice-based conditions as part of permitting and licensing (leasing), wide implementation of strategic energy planning, accounting for equity and justice in rate and tariff-making, and incorporating collective and individual capabilities into environmental and social assessments.

description: We develop the concept of genuine N-partite Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) steering. This nonlocality is the natural multipartite extension of the original EPR paradox. Useful properties emerge that are not guaranteed for genuine multipartite entangled states. In particular, there is a close link with the task of one-sided device-independent quantum secret sharing. We derive inequalities to demonstrate multipartite EPR steering for Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) and Gaussian continuous variable (CV) states in loophole-free scenarios.

description: Σκοπός της παρούσας διπλωματικής εργασίας είναι η μελέτη των υπολειμμάτων από καλλιέργειες ή οινοποίηση αμπελώνων ως πιθανά εναλλακτικά καύσιμα.
Στην παρούσα διπλωματική εργασία πραγματοποιήθηκαν μια σειρά από πειράματα καύσης υπολειμμάτων από καλλιέργειες και οινοποίηση αμπελώνα σε μια μονάδα ρευστοποιημένης κλίνης φυσαλίδων και μελετήθηκε η απόδοση της καύσης και οι εκπομπές αέριων ρύπων (CO, SO2 και ΝΟx). Τα καύσιμα ήταν τα κλαδευτικά υπολείμματα του αμπελώνα (κληματίδες) και στερεά υπολείμματα επεξεργασίας σταφυλιών (στέμφυλα) για παραγωγή κρασιού.
Τα αποτελέσματα αυτής της εργασίας δείχνουν ότι τα υπολείμματα επεξεργασίας σταφυλιών (στέμφυλα) δεν είναι ικανά από μόνα τους να χρησιμοποιηθούν επιτυχώς ως εναλλακτικά καύσιμα για την παραγωγή θερμότητας. Όμως, σε συνδυασμό με τα κλαδευτικά υπολείμματα του αμπελώνα (κληματίδες), παρουσιάζουν ενδιαφέρον καθώς τα καύσιμα αυτά εμφανίζουν υψηλή περιεκτικότητα σε πτητικά συστατικά και αρκετά υψηλή θερμαντική ικανότητα. Για μίγματα των δύο καυσίμων όπου το ποσοστό των στέμφυλων είναι μέχρι 30% και ο ρυθμός τροφοδοσίας μικρότερος από 0,72 kg/h, οι εκπομπές ρύπων διατηρούνται στα επιτρεπτά όρια.
Μεταβολές στο ποσοστό περίσσειας του αέρα ή στο ρυθμό τροφοδοσίας του καυσίμου προκάλεσαν αλλαγές στη θερμοκρασία της ρευστοποιημένης κλίνης, ενώ δεν επηρέασαν σημαντικά τις εκπομπές CO, NOx. Οι εκπομπές SO2  διατηρήθηκαν σε πολύ χαμηλά επίπεδα σε όλα τα πειράματα.
