description: Reports about long-time transfusion trends in Austrian hospitals are rare. In our hospital, we implemented an algorithm of preoperative anemia management as part of a patient blood management (PBM) program in October 2011. Anemic individuals with elective surgery underwent an adequate preoperative anemia classification and treatment with erythropoietin and intravenous iron. The aim of this study was to assess red blood cell (RBC), platelet and plasma transfusions before and after implementation of an anemia management program in a general hospital in Austria. This retrospective study evaluated a 12-year trend (2006 – 2017) of RBC, platelet and plasma transfusions in an Austrian general hospital comprising a 6-year period before (2006 – 2011) and a 6-year period after (2012 – 2017) the implementation of an algorithm-guided anemia management. From overall 49,142 transfused RBC units between 2006 - 2017, 22,745 units were transfused in the post-implementation period compared to 26,397 units before PBM initiation (-13.8 %). The plasma unit use decreased also distinctly (787 vs. 1065 units, - 26.1 %) in the period after PBM implementation, whereas a slight decrease of platelet concentration use (807 vs. 843 units, - 4.3 %) was observed, only. This study demonstrates a 12-year pattern of blood use in an Austrian hospital with a distinct decreasing trend of transfused RBC and plasma units during this period. The implementation of PBM activities decreased the need of blood utilization at our institution. Further initiatives are needed to continue this trend in the next years.

Fluctuation dominated phase ordering in coarse-grained depth models: Domain wall structures, extreme values and coarsening

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

description: Models of particles driven by a one-dimensional fluctuating surface are known to exhibit fluctuation dominated phase ordering (FDPO), in which both the order and fluctuations appear on macroscopic scales. Highly dynamic and macroscopically broad interfacial regions, each composed of many domain walls, appear between macroscopically ordered regions and consequently the scaled correlation function violates the Porod law. We focus on two essential quantities which together quantify the unique characteristics of FDPO, namely the total number of domain walls and the length of the largest ordered domain. We present results in the context of coarse-grained depth (CD) models, both in steady state and while coarsening. Analytic arguments supported by numerical simulations show that even though domain wall number fluctuations are very strong, the associated variance remains constant in time during coarsening. Further, the length of the largest cluster grows as a power law with multiplicative logarithms which involve both the time and system size. In addition, we identify corrections to the leading power law scaling in several quantities in the coarsening regime. We also study a generalisation of the CD model in which the domain wall density is controlled by a fugacity and show that it maps on to the truncated inverse distance squared Ising (TIDSI) model. The generalised model shows a mixed order phase transition, with the regular CD model (which exhibits FDPO) corresponding to the critical point.

Decoherence-free subspace and entanglement sudden death of multi-photon polarization states in fiber channels

Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The construction of quantum networks requires long-distance teleportation of multi-qubit entangled states. Here, we investigate the entanglement dynamics of GHZ and W states in fiber channels. In a fiber channel, the two most important phenomena that affect polarization entanglement are polarization mode dispersion (PMD) and polarization-dependent loss (PDL). We theoretically characterize how PMD and PDL vectors affect three-qubit states. In particular, upon quantifying the entanglement at the output states using concurrence and entanglement witness, we reveal the occurrence of entanglement sudden death (ESD) and the appearance of decoherence-free subspaces (DSFs) in tripartite systems. Finally, we explore the evolution of GHZ and W state with an arbitrary number of photons in a fiber network and evaluate the expectation value of the entanglement witness.

description: We show that the Wald-Zoupas prescription for gravitational charges is valid in the presence of anomalies and field-dependent diffeomorphism, but only if these are related to one another in a specific way. The geometric interpretation of the allowed anomalies is exposed looking at the example of BMS symmetries: They correspond to soft terms in the charges. We determine if the Wald-Zoupas prescription coincides with an improved Noether charge. The necessary condition is a certain differential equation, and when it is satisfied, the boundary Lagrangian of the resulting improved Noether charge contains in general a non-trivial corner term that can be identified a priori from a condition of anomaly-freeness. Our results explain why the Wald-Zoupas prescription works in spite of the anomalous behaviour of BMS transformations, and should be helpful to relate different branches of the literature on surface charges.

Superradiance and quasinormal modes of the gravitational perturbation around rotating hairy black hole
Creators: name: Li, Zhen
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2022
Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The No Hair theorem in classical general relativity predicts that rotating black holes are specified by the Kerr metric, which is uniquely identified by the mass and spin. However, as a pioneering study beyond general relativity, the rotating hairy black hole has been proposed, which encompasses the Kerr black hole as a special case. In these black holes, there are extra hair which could appear due to the additional surrounding sources such as dark matter or dark energy. In this work, we study the phenomenology of the rotating hairy black hole in terms of gravitational perturbations. In particular, the supperradiance and the quasinormal modes. Using the matching-asymptotic method, we derive the amplification factor and the superradiance conditions. We also calculate the quasinormal modes using the continued fraction method. The results are in very good agreement with previous studies in the Kerr limit. We also show how the amplification and quasinormal modes will shift in response to variations in the hairy parameters, black hole spin, and quantum numbers.

description: A chiral effective theory of scalar and vector diquarks is formulated, which is based on $SU(3)_R\times SU(3)_L$ chiral symmetry and includes interactions between scalar and vector diquarks with one or two mesons. We find that the diquark interaction term with two mesons breaks the $U(1)_A$ and flavor $SU(3)$ symmetries. To determine the coupling constants of the interaction Lagrangians, we investigate one-pion emission decays of singly heavy baryons $Qqq$ ($Q=c, b$ and $q=u,d,s$), where baryons are regarded as diquark--heavy-quark two-body systems. Using this model, we present predictions of the unobserved decay widths of singly heavy baryons. We also study the change of masses and strong decay widths of singly heavy baryons under partial restoration of chiral symmetry.

Terminating a common envelope jets supernova impostor event with a super-Eddington blue supergiant

Year: 2022

description: We conducted one-dimensional stellar evolutionary numerical simulations to build blue supergiant stellar models with a very low-envelope mass and a super-Eddington luminosity of 10^7Lo that mimic the last phase of a common envelope evolution (CEE) where a neutron star (NS) accretes mass from the envelope and launches jets that power the system. Common envelope jets supernovae (CEJSNe) are CEE transient events where a NS spirals-in inside the envelope and then the core of a red supergiant (RSG) star accretes mass and launches jets that power the transient event. In case that the NS (or black hole) does not enter the core of the RSG the event is a CEJSN-impostor. We propose that in some cases a CEJSN-impostor event might end with such a phase of a blue supergiant lasting for several years to few tens of years. The radius of the blue supergiant is about tens to few hundreds solar radii. We use a simple prescription to deposit the jets energy into the envelope. We find that the expected accretion rate of envelope mass onto the NS at the end of the CEE allows the power of the jets to be as we assume, 10^7Lo. Such a low-mass envelope might be the end of the RSG envelope, or might be a rebuilt envelope from mass fallback. Our study of a blue supergiant at the termination of a CEJSN-impostor event adds to the rich variety of transients that CEJSNe and CEJSN-impostors might form.

description: Absorption of light in superconducting electronics is a major limitation on the quality of circuit architectures that integrate optical components with superconducting components. A 10 nm thick film of a typical superconducting material like niobium can absorb over half of any incident optical radiation. We propose instead using superconductors which are transparent to the wavelengths used elsewhere in the system. In this paper we investigated reduced indium tin oxide (ITO) as a potential transparent superconductor for electronics. We fabricated and characterized superconducting wires of reduced indium tin oxide. We also showed that a $\SI{10}{nm}$ thick film of the material would only absorb about 1 - 20\% of light between 500 - 1700 nm.

description: Integrable string sigma models on AdS$_3$ backgrounds with 16 supersymmetries have the distinguishing feature that their superisometry group is a direct product. As a result the deformation theory of these models is particularly rich since the two supergroups in the product can be deformed independently. We construct bi-$η$ and bi-$λ$ deformations of two classes of $\mathbb{Z}_4$ permutation supercoset sigma models, which describe sectors of the Green-Schwarz and pure-spinor string worldsheet theories on type II AdS$_3$ backgrounds with pure R-R flux. We discuss an important limit of these models when one supergroup is undeformed. The associated deformed supergravity background should preserve 8 supersymmetries and is expected to have better properties than the full bi-deformation. As a step towards investigating the quantum properties of these models, we study the two-loop RG flow of the bosonic truncation of the bi-$λ$ deformation.

description: In this work, we study the pairing Hamiltonian with four particles at finite temperatures on a quantum simulator and a superconducting quantum computer. The excited states are obtained by the variational quantum deflation (VQD). The error-mitigation methods are applied to improve the noisy results. The simulation of thermal excitation states is performed using the same variational circuit as at zero temperature. The results from quantum computing become close to exact solutions at high temperatures, and demonstrate a smooth superfluid-normal phase transition as a function of temperatures as expected in finite systems.

description: The exceptional mechanical properties of graphene have made it attractive for nano-mechanical devices and functional composite materials. Two key aspects of graphene's mechanical behavior are its elastic and adhesive properties. These are generally determined in separate experiments, and it is moreover typically difficult to extract parameters for adhesion. In addition, the mechanical interplay between graphene and other elastic materials has not been well studied. Here, we demonstrate a technique for studying both the elastic and adhesive properties of few-layer graphene (FLG) by placing it on deformable, micro-corrugated substrates. By measuring deformations of the composite graphene-substrate structures, and developing a related linear elasticity theory, we are able to extract information about graphene's bending rigidity, adhesion, critical stress for interlayer sliding, and sample-dependent tension. The results are relevant to graphene-based mechanical and electronic devices, and to the use of graphene in composite, flexible, and strain-engineered materials.

description: We review the basic concepts of perturbative quantum chromodynamics (QCD) and relativistic hydrodynamics, and their applications to hadron production in high energy nuclear collisions. We discuss results from the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) in light of these theoretical approaches. Perturbative QCD and hydrodynamics together explain a large amount of experimental data gathered during the first decade of RHIC running, although some questions remain open. We focus primarily on practical aspects of the calculations, covering basic topics like perturbation theory, initial state nuclear effects, jet quenching models, ideal hydrodynamics, dissipative corrections, freeze-out and initial conditions. We conclude by comparing key results from RHIC to calculations.

description: Following (minimally invasive) esophagectomy, patients often rely on tube feeding, since oral intake is often delayed. Consequently, additional support by a dietician and home care is needed until oral intake is commenced. In this study, the effects of direct start of oral feeding compared with tube feeding following an esophagectomy was evaluated on treatment costs and health-related quality of life (QoL). Patients undergoing a minimally invasive esophagectomy were randomized in the NUTRIENT II study between controls (nil-per-mouth during 5 days and subsequent tube feeding) and a group in whom oral feeding was started directly postoperatively. Total hospital costs (including readmission and outpatient costs) and home care data for a period of 6 months after surgery were analyzed. QoL (measured using EORTC-QLQ-C30 and EORTC OG-25) was assessed preoperatively and 6 weeks, 12 weeks, and 6 months postoperatively. A total 132 patients were included (n = 65 direct oral feeding group and n = 67 control group). Mean patient hospital costs were €26,014 in the intervention group over a 6-month period compared to €26,989 in the control group (p = .825). Furthermore, people with direct oral feeding required significantly less home care assistance; i.e. 23 (48.9%) intervention patients versus 37 (77.1%) control patients (p = .004). Also, QoL in patients with direct oral feeding progressed more quickly when compared to the control group. Hospital costs were derived from a single hospital unit whereas costs from all the participating units may be a better reflection of the cost deviation. Availability of homecare data was limited, leading to difficulty in detecting differences in costs. This study suggests that direct oral feeding leads to similar total costs and a significantly reduced need for home care assistance. Furthermore, QoL in intervention group increased more quickly when compared to the control group.

description: The observed pT-dependence of nuclear effects for J/Psi produced in heavy ion collisions at RHIC might look puzzling, since the nuclear suppression seems to fade at large pT. We explain this by the interplay of three mechanisms: (i) attenuation of J/Psi in the hot medium created in the nuclear collision; (ii) initial state shadowing of charmed quarks and attenuation of a c-cbar dipole propagating through the colliding nuclei; (iii) a strong Cronin effect for J/Psi caused by saturation of gluons in the colliding nuclei. All three effects are well under control and calculated in a parameter free way, except for the transport coefficient q_0-hat characterizing the medium. This is adjusted to the J/Psi data and found to be in good agreement with the pQCD prediction, but more than an order of magnitude smaller than what was extracted from jet quenching data within the energy loss scenario.

description: Prompt and $β$-delayed fission observables, such as the average number of prompt and delayed neutrons, the independent and cumulative fission product yields, and the prompt $γ$-ray energy spectra for the photonuclear reactions on $^{235,238}$U and $^{239}$Pu are calculated with the Hauser-Feshbach Fission Fragment Decay (HF$^3$D) model and compared with available experimental data. In the analysis of neutron-induced fission reactions to the case of photo-induced fission, an excellent reproduction of the delayed neutron yields supports a traditional assumption that the photo-fission might be similar to the neutron-induced fission at the same excitation energies regardless of the spin and parity of the fissioning systems.

At high excitation level, the interatomic forces can be altered resulting in an unusual lattice dynamics. Here we report the study of coherent lattice dynamics in Bi made for various excitation levels at helium temperature. We demonstrate that under certain conditions the fully symmetric phonons of large amplitude exhibit anomalous decay and phase rigidity, both of which possibly signaling the attainment of transient supersolid state.

description: The interaction of laser radiation with single J aggregates of cyanine dyes is theoretically analyzed and numerically simulated. The quantum mechanical calculations of the equilibrium geometry and the energies and intensities of the lowest singlet electronic transitions in pseudoisocyanine chloride and its linear (chain) oligomers are fulfilled. The data of these calculations can serve as parameters of the analyzed model of interaction of J aggregates with radiation in the oneparticle density matrix approximation. This model takes into account relaxation processes, the annihilation of excitations at neighboring molecules, and inho mogeneous broadening. Assuming that the inhomogeneous broadening is absent, calculations demonstrate the existence of spatial bistability, molecular switching waves, and dissipative solitons. The effect of the inhomogeneous broadening and the radiation intensity on the effective coherence length in linear (chain) J aggregates is analyzed

description: Entangled photon pairs are essential for a multitude of photonic quantum applications. To date, the best performing solid-state quantum emitters of entangled photons are semiconductor quantum dots operated around liquid-helium temperatures. To favor the widespread deployment of these sources, it is important to explore and understand their behavior at temperatures accessible with compact Stirling coolers. Here we study the polarization entanglement among photon pairs from the biexciton-exciton cascade in GaAs quantum dots at temperatures up to 65 K. We observe entanglement degradation accompanied by changes in decay dynamics, which we ascribe to thermal population and depopulation of hot and dark states in addition to the four levels relevant for photon pair generation. Detailed calculations considering the presence and characteristics of the additional states and phonon-assisted transitions support the interpretation. We expect these results to guide the optimization of quantum dots as sources of highly entangled photons at elevated temperatures.

description: Understanding the spin-relaxation mechanism of single adatoms is an essential step towards creating atomic magnetic memory bits or even qubits. Here we present an essentially parameter-free theory by combining \textit{ab-initio} electronic and vibrational properties with the many-body nature of atomic states. Our calculations account for the millisecond spin lifetime measured recently on Fe adatoms on MgO/Ag(100) and reproduce the dependence on the number of decoupling layers and the external magnetic field. We show how the atomic interaction with the environment should be tuned in order to enhance the magnetic stability, and propose a clear fingerprint for experimentally detecting a localized spin-phonon excitation.

This study suggests that direct oral feeding leads to similar total costs and a significantly reduced need for home care assistance. Furthermore, QoL in intervention group increased more quickly when compared to the control group.

description: Vortons are extended superconducting rings, which hypothetically may play a role in cosmology and even may have significance in connection with cosmic rays of high energy. Some of these objects are able to confine fermions which consequently become massless in the core of the object \cite{witten}, \cite{vorton3}. These fermions travel at light speed in the core and may generate a large current without dissipation. This raises interest about the generation mechanisms for these currents inside the defect. This question is analyzed here by studying the inverse photoelectric effect for these objects namely, the absorption of a fermion with the consequent emission of a photon or a massive boson by the extended defect. Another motivation for the present work is that there exists a discussion in condensed matter about the role of the bound spectrum in the macroscopic Magnus force that the vortex experiences in certain type of superfluids or superconductors. The discussion is about wether the main force comes from scattering of these fermions by the object or by the effect of the environment on the bound states in the object, which may induce a spectral flow leading to an effective macroscopic force \cite{pelea1}, \cite{pelea2}, \cite{pelea3}. Without claiming that the results described here are conclusive in the context of condensed matter, this work presents a comparison between these two effects for vortons interacting with a plasma of fermions.

Search for the minimal universal extra dimension model at the LHC with $\sqrt{s}$=7 TeV

description: Universal Extra Dimension (UED) model is one of the popular extension of the Standard Model (SM) which offers interesting phenomenology. In the minimal UED (mUED) model, Kaluza-Klein (KK) parity conservation ensures that $n=1$ KK states can only be pair produced at colliders and the lightest KK particle is stable. In most of the parameter space, first KK excitation of SM hypercharge gauge boson is the lightest one and it can be a viable dark matter candidate. Thus, the decay of $n=1$ KK particles will always involve missing transverse energy as well as leptons and jets. The production cross sections of $n=1$ KK particles are large and such particles may be observed at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). We explore the mUED discovery potential of the LHC with $\sqrt{s}$ = 7 TeV in the multileptonic final states. Since in the early LHC run, precise determination of missing transverse energy may not be possible, we examine the LHC reach with and without using missing transverse energy information. We observe that missing transverse energy cut will not improve mUED discovery reach significantly. We have found that opposite sign di-lepton channel is the most promising discovery mode and with first $fb^{-1}$ of collected luminosity, LHC will be able to discover the strongly interacting $n=1$ KK particles with masses upto 800 to 900 GeV.

description: We study ionization of atoms in strong elliptically-polarized laser fields numerically and analytically. We focus on effects of laser ellipticity on the offset angle in photoelectron momentum distribution. This angle is considered to encode time information of tunneling ionization in attoclock experiments. The calculated offset angle increases with the decrease of ellipticity but the momentum along the major axis of laser polarization related to this angle changes slowly, in agreement with experiments. With a Coulomb-included strong-field model, the scaling laws for ellipticity dependence of this angle and relevant momentum components are obtained, and the ellipticity dependence of Coulomb-induced ionization time lag encoded in this angle is also addressed.

description: We study the static, analytical solution of black holes in the warped DGP braneworld scenario. We show that the linearized field equations and matching conditions lead to solutions that are not compatible with Schwarzschild-(A)dS$_{(4)}$ solutions on the brane. This incompatibility is similar to vDVZ discontinuity in massive gravity theory. Following the standard procedure to remove this discontinuity, which firstly was proposed by Vainshtein, we keep some appropriate nonlinear terms in the field equations. This strategy has its origin in the fact that the spatial extrinsic curvature of the brane plays a crucial role in the nonlinear nature of the solutions and also in recovering the well-measured predictions of General Relativity (GR) at small scales. Using this feature, we obtained an interesting black string solution in the bulk when it is compatible with 4D GR solutions on the brane.

Long-Term Cycling of Kozai-Lidov Cycles: Extreme Eccentricities and Inclinations Excited by a Distant Eccentric Perturber

description: Kozai-Lidov oscillations of Jupiter-mass planets, excited by comparable planetary or brown dwarf mass perturbers were recently shown in numerical experiments to be slowly modulated and to exhibit striking features, including extremely high eccentricities and the generation of retrograde orbits with respect to the perturber. Here we solve this problem analytically for the case of a test particle orbiting a host star and perturbed by a distant companion whose orbit is eccentric and highly inclined. We give analytic expressions for the conditions that produce retrograde orbits and high eccentricities. This mechanism likely operates in various systems thought to involve Kozai-Lidov oscillations such as tight binaries, mergers of compact objects, irregular moons of planets and many others. In particular, it could be responsible for exciting eccentricities and inclinations of exo-planetary orbits and be important for understanding the spin-orbit (mis)alignment of hot Jupiters.
Improving manual interception accuracy through eye and hand training

description: Accurate hand movements are important for many daily activities and we frequently use vision to help guide our interactions with our environment. Here we investigated whether smooth pursuit training transfers to hand movements by examining manual interception accuracy. We conducted three series of five-day perceptual-motor learning experiments. In a track-intercept task, observers were instructed to track a moving target on a screen and to hit it with their index finger as soon as it entered a “hit zone”. In each trial, only the first part (100-300 ms) of the trajectory was shown and observers had to extrapolate and intercept the target at its assumed position. In all three experiments, subjects were tested on an eye-hand coordination task on the first day (day 1, pre-test) and last day (day 5, post-test); the three experiments differed with regard to training on days 2-4. Further, subjects were invited to complete the eye-hand coordination task during a one-week follow-up session after the post-test (day 6). Experiment 1 (n=9) involved no hand movements during training; subjects only tracked the target with their eyes and received no visual feedback. Subjects in Experiment 2 (n=9) tracked and intercepted the target during training. Experiment 3 (n=9) served as a control and involved no training. Subjects in all groups were invited to come back one week after the post-test for a follow-up testing session. Results show that manual interception performance (finger position error) improves in all groups, but improves most following combined eye-hand training. Interestingly, this group also resulted in the greatest improvement in eye movements. This finding is particularly noteworthy because both training groups involved the same degree of eye-movement training, but eye movements improved only if combined with engaging the hand. Analysis of performance in the one week follow-up after the post-test revealed that training effects in the eye-hand group were particularly long-lasting and stable, whereas eye movements continued to improve through to the week follow-up. I will discuss implications of these results for our understanding of the brain pathways underlying eye and hand movement control, as well as practical applications in sports and clinical rehabilitation.

description: Topological insulators (TI) are a new class of quantum materials with insulating bulk enclosed by topologically protected metallic boundaries. The surface states of three-dimensional TIs have spin helical Dirac structure, and are robust against time reversal invariant perturbations. This extraordinary property is notably exemplified by the absence of backscattering by nonmagnetic impurities and the weak antilocalization (WAL) of Dirac fermions. Breaking the time reversal symmetry (TRS) by magnetic element doping is predicted to create a variety of exotic topological magnetoelectric effects. Here we report transport studies on magnetically doped TI Cr-Bi2Se3. With increasing Cr concentration, the low temperature electrical conduction exhibits a characteristic crossover from WAL to weak localization (WL). In the heavily doped regime where WL dominates at the ground state, WAL reenters as temperature rises, but can be driven back to WL by strong magnetic field. These complex phenomena can be explained by a unified picture involving the evolution of Berry phase with the energy gap opened by magnetic impurities. This work demonstrates an effective way to manipulate the topological transport properties of the TI surface states by TRS-breaking perturbations.
