description: We introduce the Simba simulations, the next generation of the Mufasa cosmological galaxy formation simulations run with Gizmo's meshless finite mass hydrodynamics. Simba includes updates to Mufasa's sub-resolution star formation and feedback prescriptions, and introduces black hole growth via the torque-limited accretion model of Anglés-Alcázar et al. (2017) from cold gas and Bondi accretion from hot gas, along with black hole feedback via kinetic bipolar outflows and X-ray energy. Ejection velocities are taken to be ~10^3 km/s at high Eddington ratios, increasing to ~8000 km/s at Eddington ratios below 2%, with a constant momentum input of 20L/c. Simba further includes an on-the-fly dust production, growth, and destruction model. Our Simba run with (100 Mpc/h)^3 and 1024^3 gas elements reproduces numerous observables, including galaxy stellar mass functions at z=0-6, the stellar mass--star formation rate main sequence, HI and H2 fractions, the mass-metallicity relation at z=0 and z=2, star-forming galaxy sizes, hot gas fractions in massive halos, and z=0 galaxy dust properties. However, Simba also yields an insufficiently sharp truncation of the z=0 mass function, and too-large sizes for low-mass quenched galaxies. We show that Simba's jet feedback is primarily responsible for quenching massive galaxies.

description: We demonstrate that the integrated intensity of Cu-63 nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) in La(1.6-x)Nd(0.4)Sr(x)CuO(4) decreases dramatically below the charge-stripe ordering temperature T(charge). Comparison with neutron and X-ray scattering indicates that the wipeout fraction F(T) (i.e. the missing fraction of the integrated intensity of the NQR signal) represents the charge-stripe order parameter. The systematic study reveals bulk charge-stripe order throughout the superconducting region 0.07 <= x <= 0.25. As a function of the reduced temperature t = T/T(charge), the temperature dependence of F(t) is sharpest for the hole concentration x=1/8, indicating that x=1/8 is the optimum concentration for stripe formation.

description: We explore the role of non-Gaussian fluctuations in primordial black hole (PBH) formation and show that the standard Gaussian assumption, used in all PBH formation papers to date, is not justified. Since large spikes in power are usually associated with flat regions of the inflaton potential, quantum fluctuations become more important in the field dynamics, leading to mode-mode coupling and non-Gaussian statistics. Moreover, PBH production requires several sigma (rare) fluctuations in order to prevent premature matter dominance of the universe, so we are necessarily concerned with distribution tails, where any intrinsic skewness will be especially important. We quantify this argument by using the stochastic slow-roll equation and a relatively simple analytic method to obtain the final distribution of fluctuations. We work out several examples with toy models that produce PBH's, and show that the naive Gaussian assumption can result in errors of many orders of magnitude. For models with spikes in power, our calculations give sharp cut-offs in the probability of large positive fluctuations, meaning that Gaussian distributions would vastly over-produce PBH's. The standard results that link inflation-produced power spectra and PBH number densities must then be reconsidered, since they rely quite heavily on the Gaussian assumption. We point out that since the probability distributions depend on the nature of the potential, it is impossible to obtain results for general models. However, calculating the distribution of fluctuations for any specific model seems to be relatively straightforward, at least in the single inflaton case.

description: Access to single-particle momenta provides new means of studying the dynamics of a few interacting particles. In a joint theoretical and experimental effort, we observe and analyze the effects of a finite number of ultracold two-body collisions on the relative and single-particle densities by quenching two ultracold atoms with an initial narrow wave packet into a wide trap with an inverted aspect ratio. The experimentally observed spatial oscillations of the relative density are reproduced by a parameter-free zero-range theory and interpreted in terms of cross-dimensional flux. We theoretically study the long-time dynamics and find that the system does not approach its thermodynamic limit. The setup can be viewed as an advanced particle collider that allows one to watch the collision process itself.

description: A person-wearable dust monitor that provides nearly real-time, mass-based readings of respirable dust was developed for use in underground coal mines. This personal dust monitor (PDM) combined dust sampling instrumentation with a cap lamp (and battery) into one belt-wearable unit, with the air inlet mounted on the cap lamp. However, obsolescence of belt-carried cap lamp and batteries in coal mining ensued and led end users to request that the cap lamp and battery be removed from the PDM. Removal of these components necessitated the design of a new air inlet to be worn on the miner’s lapel. The revised inlet was tested for dust collection equivalency against the original cap-mounted inlet design. Using calculated inlet respirable fractions and measured dust mass collection, the performance of the two inlets is shown to be similar. The new inlet requires a 1.02 factor for converting dust masses obtained from it to equivalent masses collected from the original inlet.

description: The EDELWEISS collaboration has performed a search for dark matter particles with masses below the GeV-scale with a 33.4-g germanium cryogenic detector operated in a surface lab. The energy deposits were measured using a neutron-transmutation-doped Ge thermal sensor with a 17.7~eV (RMS) baseline heat energy resolution leading to a 60~eV analysis energy threshold. Despite a moderate lead shielding and the high-background environment, the first sub-GeV spin-independent dark matter limit based on a germanium target has been achieved. The experiment provides the most stringent, nuclear recoil based, above-ground limit on spin-independent interactions above 600~MeV/c$^{2}$. The experiment also provides the most stringent limits on spin-dependent interactions with protons and neutrons below 1.3~GeV/c$^{2}$. Furthermore, the dark matter search results were studied in the context of Strongly Interacting Massive Particles, taking into account Earth-shielding effects, for which new regions of the available parameter space have been excluded. Finally, the dark matter search has also been extended to interactions via the Migdal effect, resulting for the first time in the exclusion of particles with masses between 45 and 150~MeV/c$^{2}$ with spin-independent cross sections ranging from $10^{-29}$ to $10^{-26}$~cm$^2$.

description: We explore the temperature-dependent plasmonic modes of an n-doped double-layer silicene system which is composed of two spatially separated single layers of silicene with a distance large enough to prevent the interlayer electron tunneling. By applying an externally applied electric field, we numerically obtain the poles of the loss function within the so-called random phase approximation, to investigate the effects of temperature and geometry on the plasmon branches in three different regimes: topological insulator, valley-spin polarized metal, and band insulator. Also, we present the finite-temperature numerical results along with the zero-temperature analytical ones to support a discussion of the distinct effects of the external electric field and temperature on the plasmon dispersion. Our results show that at zero temperature both the acoustic and optical modes decrease by increasing the applied electric field and experience a discontinuity at the valley-spin polarized metal phase as the system transitions from a topological insulator to a band insulator. At finite temperature, the optical plasmons are damped around this discontinuity and the acoustic modes may exhibit a continuous transition. Moreover, while the optical branch of plasmons changes non-monotonically and noticeably with temperature, the acoustic branch dispersion displays a negligible growth with temperature for all phases of silicene. Furthermore, our finite-temperature results indicate that the dependency of two plasmonic branches on the interlayer separation is not affected by temperature at long wavelengths; the acoustic mode energy varies slightly with increasing the interlayer distance, whereas the optical mode remains unchanged.

description: Numerous attempts to reduce the cost of launching a payload into low-altitude orbit were taken in many countries and characterize the current trend to make space projects economically viable and less costly for the budget. Unfortunately, this process has not led to a sharp decrease in the specific launch cost, which for various media appearances on many publications lies in the range of 12000-20000 US $ / kg. Of course, the real value of the cost of launching to a specific orbit in specific circumstances is a corporate secret and is dependent on the cost of insurance. In this paper the use of horizontal take-off and landing (HTHL) is considered in the attempt to make space flights cheaper and more reliable.

description: This study presents a numerical analysis of the topology of a set of cosmologically interesting three-dimensional Gaussian random fields in terms of their Betti numbers $β_0$, $β_1$ and $β_2$. We show that Betti numbers entail a considerably richer characterization of the topology of the primordial density field. Of particular interest is that Betti numbers specify which topological features - islands, cavities or tunnels - define its spatial structure. A principal characteristic of Gaussian fields is that the three Betti numbers dominate the topology at different density ranges. At extreme density levels, the topology is dominated by a single class of features. At low levels this is a \emph{Swiss-cheeselike} topology, dominated by isolated cavities, at high levels a predominantly \emph{Meatball-like} topology of isolated objects. At moderate density levels, two Betti number define a more \emph{Sponge-like} topology. At mean density, the topology even needs three Betti numbers, quantifying a field consisting of several disconnected complexes, not of one connected and percolating overdensity. A {\it second} important aspect of Betti number statistics is that they are sensitive to the power spectrum. It reveals a monotonic trend in which at a moderate density range a lower spectral index corresponds to a considerably higher (relative) population of cavities and islands. We also assess the level of complementary information that Betti numbers represent, in addition to conventional measures such as Minkowski functionals. To this end, we include an extensive description of the Gaussian Kinematic Formula (GKF), which represents a major theoretical underpinning for this discussion.

description: One can interpret the Dirac equation either as giving the dynamics for a classical field or a quantum wave function. Here I examine whether Maxwell's equations, which are standardly interpreted as giving the dynamics for the classical electromagnetic field, can alternatively be interpreted as giving the dynamics for the photon's quantum wave function. I explain why this quantum interpretation would only be viable if the electromagnetic field were sufficiently weak, then motivate a particular approach to introducing a wave function for the photon (following Good, 1957). This wave function ultimately turns out to be unsatisfactory because the probabilities derived from it do not always transform properly under Lorentz transformations. The fact that such a quantum interpretation of Maxwell's equations is unsatisfactory suggests that the electromagnetic field is more fundamental than the photon.

description: AX J0049.4-7323 is a Be/X-ray binary that shows an unusual and poorly understood optical variability that consists of periodic and bright optical outbursts, simultaneous with X-ray outbursts, characterised by a highly asymmetric profile. The periodicity of the outbursts is thought to correspond to the orbital period of the neutron star. To understand the behaviour shown by this source, we performed the first multi-wavelength monitoring campaign during the periastron passage of December 2017. The monitoring lasted for ~37 days and consisted of X-ray, near-ultraviolet, and optical data from the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory, the optical I band from the OGLE survey, and spectroscopic observations of the H-alpha line performed with the 3.9 m Anglo-Australian Telescope. These observations revealed AX J0049.4-7323 during an anomalous outburst having remarkably different properties compared to the previous ones. In the I band, it showed a longer rise timescale (~60 days instead of 1-5 days) and a longer decay timescale. At the peak of the outburst, it showed a sudden increase in luminosity in the I band, corresponding to the onset of the X-ray outburst. The monitoring of the H-alpha emission line showed a fast and highly variable profile composed of three peaks with variable reciprocal brightness. We interpreted these results as a circumstellar disc warped by tidal interactions with the neutron star in a high eccentricity orbit during its periastron passage. The fast jump in optical luminosity at the peak of the outburst and the previous asymmetric outbursts might be caused by the reprocessing of the X-ray photons in the circumstellar disc or the tidal displacement of a large amount of material from the circumstellar disc or the outer layers of the donor star during the periastron passage of the neutron star, which led to an increase in size of the region emitting in the I band.

The role of the detector is to detect a nuclear collision, provide precise time information with an accuracy of 50ps, and determine the collision point along the beam direction with a resolution of a few cm. Technical challenges are that the detector must be operational in a wide particle-multiplicity range in a high radiation environment and a strong magnetic field. We present the performance of the prototype and discuss the final design of the detector.

description: The Universe on comoving scales larger than 100 Mpc/h is assumed to be statistically homogeneous, with the transition scale where we have $1\%$ deviation from homogeneity being known as the homogeneity scale $R_H$. The latter was recently proposed in Ntelis et al. (2018) [arXiv:1810.09362] to be a standard ruler. In this paper we perform a comparison between the baryon acoustic oscillations and the homogeneity scales $R_H$, assuming a spatially flat universe, linear cosmological perturbation theory and the cosmological constant cold dark matter $Λ$CDM model. By direct theoretical calculations, we demonstrate that the answer to the question of whether the homogeneity scale can be used as a standard ruler, is clearly negative due to the non-monotonicity of the homogeneity scale $R_H$ with the matter density parameter $Ω_{m0}$ of the $Λ$CDM model. Furthermore, we also consider the effect of redshift space distortions and we find that they do not break the degeneracies but instead only change the value of $R_H$ by a few percent. Finally, we also confirm our findings with the help of an N-Body simulation.

description: The abundance of primordial black holes (PBHs) in the mass range $0.1 - 10^3 M_\odot$ can potentially be tested by gravitational wave observations due to the large merger rate of PBH binaries formed in the early universe. To put the estimates of the latter on a firmer footing, we first derive analytical PBH merger rate for general PBH mass functions while imposing a minimal initial comoving distance between the binary and the PBH nearest to it, in order to pick only initial configurations where the binary would not get disrupted. We then study the formation and evolution of PBH binaries before recombination by performing N-body simulations. We find that the analytical estimate based on the tidally perturbed 2-body system strongly overestimates the present merger rate when PBHs comprise all dark matter, as most initial binaries are disrupted by the surrounding PBHs. This is mostly due to the formation of compact N-body systems at matter-radiation equality. However, if PBHs make up a small fraction of the dark matter, $f_{\rm PBH} \lesssim 10\%$, these estimates become more reliable. In that case, the merger rate observed by LIGO imposes the strongest constraint on the PBH abundance in the mass range $2 - 160 M_\odot$. Finally, we argue that, even if most initial PBH binaries are perturbed, the present BH-BH merger rate of binaries formed in the early universe is larger than $\mathcal{O}(10)\,{\rm Gpc}^{-3} {\rm yr}^{-1}\, f_{\rm PBH}^3$

description: Background More than half a century has passed since the association between papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC), and Hashimoto thyroiditis (HT) has been described. The discovery of the RET/PTC oncogene 30 years later has further strengthened this argument, followed by the associations made between hyalinizing trabecular adenoma (HTA) and both PTC and HT. Numerous researchers studied these relationships, with some debating a valid link. Findings This case of a 28-year-old woman with HT-associated PTC and a coexisting HTA offers a unique opportunity to study these three lesions together in the same microenvironment. Fresh tissue analysis for gene expression showed that all three expressed RET/PTC1 transcripts, whereas this was not seen in the control normal thyroid tissue. There was also an increased expression of AKT, ERK1, nuclear β-catenin, and TCF4 in both the HTA and PTC sampled tissue. AKT plays a central role in regulating cell proliferation and survival by inhibiting apoptotic processes, whereas ERK1 leads to cell proliferation. Both β-catenin and TCF4 are linked to the canonical WNT/β-catenin pathway. Conclusions The expression of RET/PTC1 highlights the link between inflammatory processes such as HT and neoplastic conditions such as HTA and PTC. The limited expression of TCF4, AKT, ERK1, and β-catenin supports the notion that the canonical WNT/β-catenin pathway plays a pivotal role in the development of this neoplasm. It is important to note that at this time, gene expression alone is not sufficient to make a distinction between benign and malignant thyroid lesions.

description: The reheating process in inflationary universe models is considered as an out-of-equilibrium mixture of two interacting and reacting fluids, and studied within the framework of causal, irreversible thermodynamics. The evolution of the temperature and the decay rate as determined by causal thermodynamics are estimated at different stages of the process. A simple model is also used to find the perturbations of the expansion rate, including the possibility of damped oscillations.

description: We investigate a discrete model consisting of self-propelled particles that obey simple interaction rules. We show that this model can self-organize and exhibit coherent localized solutions in one- and in two-dimensions.In one-dimension, the self-organized solution is a localized flock of finite extent in which the density abruptly drops to zero at the edges.In two-dimensions, we focus on the vortex solution in which the particles rotate around a common center and show that this solution can be obtained from random initial conditions, even in the absence of a confining boundary. Furthermore, we develop a continuum version of our discrete model and demonstrate that the agreement between the discrete and the continuum model is excellent.

On the pragmatics of modal verbs
Creators: name: Depraetere, Ilse
Publisher: name: Selected papers on theoretical and applied linguistics
Year: 2017
Subjects: modal verbs; contextual meaning; pragmatics-semantics interface

description: This paper reflects on the nature of the contextual meaning that is often associated with modal verbs. Four examples are given of contextual effects that have been discussed in the literature: pragmatic strengthening and weakening, dynamic implication, strength of the modality and subjective vs. objective modality. It is argued that these four cases are not entirely similar when they are considered from the perspective of the semantics-pragmatics interface and the categorisation of modal meaning. This study shows what unites and what differentiates these four facets of the ‘pragmatics’ of modals.

description: We probed spin-spin correlations up to 725 K with 63Cu NQR in the S= 1/2 three-leg ladder Sr2Cu3O5. We present experimental evidence that below 300 K, weak inter-ladder coupling causes dimensional crossover of the spin-spin correlation length ξfrom quasi-1d (ξ~ 1/T) to anisotropic 2d regime (ξ\~ exp[2πρ_{s}/T], where 2πρ_{s} = 290 +/- 30 K is the effective spin stiffness). This is the first experimental verification of the renormalized classical behavior of the anisotropic non-linear sigma model in 2d, which has been recently proposed for the striped phase in high T_{c} cuprates.

Thermal and nonthermal dust sputtering in hydrodynamical simulations of the multiphase interstellar medium

description: We study the destruction of interstellar dust via sputtering in supernova (SN) shocks using three-dimensional hydrodynamical simulations. With a novel numerical framework, we follow both sputtering and dust dynamics governed by direct collisions, plasma drag and betatron acceleration. Grain-grain collisions are not included and the grain-size distribution is assumed to be fixed. The amount of dust destroyed per SN is quantified for a broad range of ambient densities and fitting formulae are provided. Integrated over the grain-size distribution, nonthermal (inertial) sputtering dominates over thermal sputtering for typical ambient densities. We present the first simulations that explicitly follow dust sputtering within a turbulent multiphase interstellar medium. We find that the dust destruction timescales $τ$ are 0.35 Gyr for silicate dust and 0.44 Gyr for carbon dust in solar neighborhood conditions. The SN environment has an important impact on $τ$. SNe that occur in preexisting bubbles destroy less dust as the destruction is limited by the amount of dust in the shocked gas. This makes $τ$ about 2.5 times longer than the estimate based on results from a single SN explosion. We investigate the evolution of the dust-to-gas mass ratio (DGR), and find that a spatial inhomogeneity of $\sim$ 14\% develops for scales below 10 pc. It locally correlates positively with gas density but negatively with gas temperature even in the exterior of the bubbles due to incomplete gas mixing. This leads to a $\sim$ 30\% lower DGR in the volume filling warm gas compared to that in the dense clouds.

The discovery of Modern Greek as a second language
Creators: name: Moschonas, Spiros A.
Publisher: name: Selected papers on theoretical and applied linguistics
Year: 2017
Subjects: Second Language Acquisition; Greek as a second/foreign language; Standard Modern Greek; standardisation

description: Modern Greek as a second/foreign language (G2) is a relatively recent field. This paper focuses on the early, formative years of the field of G2 (1985-2004). It discusses the relevant literature and places particular emphasis on the textbooks for teaching G2, with an aim to revealing their latent conceptions about language and second language acquisition. Assessment and proficiency standards are also taken into account. It is argued that G2, as the most recent phase in a continuing process of Modern Greek standardisation, has been influenced by conceptions and practices that prevail in the field of G1.

Electric polarization in magnetic topological nodal semimetal thin films

description: We theoretically study the electric polarization in magnetic topological nodal semimetal thin films. In magnetically doped topological insulators, topological nodal semimetal phases emerge once the exchange coupling overcomes the band gap. Changing the magnetization direction, nodal structure is modulated and the system becomes topological nodal point or line semimetals. We find that nodal line semimetals are characterized by non-linear electric polarization, which is not observed in nodal point semimetals. The non-linear response originates from the existence of the surface states. Screening effect is self consistently included within a mean field approximation and the non-linear electric polarization is observed even in the presence of screening effect.

Experimental pragmatics and causal meaning: The case of Modern Greek markers γiati and epiδi
Creators: name: Bardzokas, Valandis
Publisher: name: Selected papers on theoretical and applied linguistics
Year: 2017
Subjects: experimental pragmatics; relevance-theory; conceptual/procedural meaning; causal connectives

description: This paper attempts to corroborate the claim made recently for a differentiating treatment of the two prototypical, monolexemic causal connectives in Modern Greek, i.e. γiati and epiδi, this time from an experimental pragmatic point of view. To achieve this aim, our experiment involves observing native speakers of Modern Greek of two age groups, that is, children and adults. At the same time, taking up this issue necessarily involves challenging the traditional justification of experimental pragmatics by recourse to the research on scalar implicatures. Hence, we aim to broaden the experimental pragmatic view, so that its scope includes causal subordinators, rather than just coordinating markers.

New explanation of the GAMS results on the $f_0(980)$ production in the reaction $π^-p\to π^0π^0n$

description: The observed alteration of the S-wave $π^0π^0$ mass spectrum in the reaction $π^-p\toπ^0π^0n$ with increasing $-t$, i.e., the disappearance of a dip and the appearance of a peak in the region of the $f_0(980)$ resonance as $-t$ increases, is explained by the contribution of the $π^-p\to f_0(980)n$ reaction amplitude with the quantum numbers of the $a_1$ Regge pole in the $t$ channel. It is very interesting that nontrivial evidence for the $a_1$ exchange mechanism in the reaction $π^-p\to π^0π^0n$ follows for the first time from the experiment on an unpolarized target. The explanation of the GAMS results suggested by us is compared with that reported previously. Two ways of experimentally testing these explanations are pointed out.
