description: To properly understand the physics of upper main sequence stars it is particularly important to identify the origin of their magnetic fields. Recently, we confirmed that magnetic fields appear in Ap stars of mass below 3 M_sun only if they have already completed at least approximately 30% of their main-sequence lifetime. The absence of stars with strong magnetic fields close to the ZAMS might be seen as an argument against the fossil field theories. Here we present the results of our recent magnetic survey with FORS1 at the VLT in polarimetric mode of a sample of A, B and Herbig Ae stars with previously undetected magnetic fields and briefly discuss their significance for our understanding of the origin of the magnetic fields in intermediate mass stars.

description: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is highly aggressive and characterized by pronounced desmoplasia. PDAC cells communicate with cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) in a paracrine/reciprocal manner, substantially promoting tumor growth and desmoplastic responses. This study highlights the critical role of anterior gradient 2 (AGR2), an endoplasmic reticulum protein disulfide isomerase, secreted by PDAC cells to activate CAFs via the Wnt signaling pathway. Activated CAFs, in turn, secrete insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1), which enhances AGR2 expression and secretion in PDAC cells through the IGF1 receptor (IGF1R)/c-JUN axis. Within PDAC cells, AGR2 acts as a thioredoxin, aiding the folding and cell surface presentation of IGF1R, essential for PDAC’s response to CAF-derived IGF1. This reciprocal AGR2/IGF1 signaling loop intensifies desmoplasia, immunosuppression, and tumorigenesis, creating a harmful feedback loop. Targeting both pathways disrupts this interaction, reduces desmoplasia, and restores anti-tumor immunity in preclinical models, offering a promising therapeutic strategy against PDAC.

description: This research develops a theory of how market structure and belief formation drive survival and ownership of marketplaces. This paper explains the process for deriving theoretical predictions about these phenomena and suggests how comparison of theoretical predictions with actual outcomes in the context of agricultural Internet marketplaces provides an empirical test. By providing a sound understanding of the driving forces behind Internet marketplace ownership, a factual basis is introduced relative to concerns about concentration of the ownership of Internet marketplaces in the hands of buyers or sellers in agricultural markets.
A practical model of twin-beam experiments for sub-shot-noise absorption measurements

description: Quantum-intensity-correlated twin beams of light can be used to measure absorption with precision beyond the classical shot-noise limit. The degree to which this can be achieved with a given estimator is defined by the quality of the twin-beam intensity correlations, which is quantified by the noise reduction factor. We derive an analytical model of twin-beam experiments, incorporating experimental parameters such as the relative detection efficiency of the beams, uncorrelated optical noise, and uncorrelated detector noise. We show that for twin beams without excessive noise, measured correlations can be improved by increasing the detection efficiency of each beam, notwithstanding this may unbalance detection efficiency. However, for beams with excess intensity or other experimental noise, one should balance detection efficiency, even at the cost of reducing detection efficiency -- we specifically define these noise conditions and verify our results with statistical simulation. This has application in design and optimization of absorption spectroscopy and imaging experiments.

description: The thermal time hypothesis proposed by Rovelli [1] regards the physical basis for the flow of time as thermodynamical and provides a definition of the temperature for some special cases. We verify this hypothesis in the case of de Sitter spacetime by relating the uniformly accelerated observer in de Sitter spacetime to the diamond in Minkowski spacetime. Then, as an application of it, we investigate the thermal effect for the uniformly accelerated observer with a finite lifetime in dS spacetime, which generalizes the corresponding result for the case of Minkowski spacetime [2]. Furthermore, noticing that a uniformly accelerated dS observer with a finite lifetime corresponds to a Rindler observer with a finite lifetime in the embedding Minkowski spacetime, we show that the global-embedding-Minkowski-spacetime (GEMS) picture of spacetime thermodynamics is valid in this case. This is a rather nontrivial and unexpected generalization of the GEMS picture, as well as a further verification of both the thermal time hypothesis and the GEMS picture.

description: We present a detailed theoretical analysis of superradiant Rayleigh scattering from atomic Bose-Einstein condensates. A thorough investigation of the spatially resolved time-evolution of optical and matter-wave fields is performed in the framework of the semiclassical Maxwell-Schroedinger equations. Our theory is not only able to explain many of the known experimental observations, e.g., the behavior of the atomic side-mode distributions, but also provides further detailed insights into the coupled dynamics of optical and matter-wave fields. To work out the significance of propagation effects, we compare our results to other theoretical models in which these effects are neglected.

description: The quasar J1918+4937 was recently suggested to harbour a milliparsec-separation binary supermassive black hole (SMBH), based upon modeling the narrow spike in its high-cadence Kepler optical light curve. Known binary SMBHs are extremely rare, and the tight constraints on the physical and geometric parameters of this object are unique. The high-resolution radio images of J1918+4937 obtained with very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) indicate a rich one-sided jet structure extending to 80 milliarcseconds. Here we analyse simultaneously-made sensitive 1.7- and 5-GHz archive VLBI images as well as snapshot 8.4/8.7-GHz VLBI images of J1918+4937, and show that the appearance of the wiggled jet is consistent with the binary scenario. We develop a jet structural model that handles eccentric orbits. By applying this model to the measured VLBI component positions, we constrain the inclination of the radio jet, as well as the spin angle of the jet emitter SMBH. We find the jet morphological model is consistent with the optical and radio data, and that the secondary SMBH is most likely the jetted one in the system. Furthermore, the decade-long 15-GHz radio flux density monitoring data available for J1918+4937 are compatible with a gradual overall decrease in the the total flux density caused by a slow secular change of the jet inclination due to the spin-orbit precession. J1918+4937 could be an efficient high-energy neutrino source if the horizon of the secondary SMBH is rapidly rotating.

Gravitational frequency shift of light in equatorial plane of a radially moving Schwarzschild black hole

description: The kinematical effect induced by the transversal motion of a gravitational lens on the frequency shift of light has been investigated in detail, while the effect of the radial motion is thought to be much smaller than the transversal one and thus has usually been neglected. In this work, we find that the radial velocity effect on the frequency shift has the same order of magnitude as that of the transversal velocity effect, when the light emitter (or the receiver) is close to the gravitational lens with the distance between them being an impact parameter scale. The significant velocity effect is usually transient due to the motion of the gravitational lens relative to the light emitter or the receiver.

description: Processes of the form $pp\to anything \to X_i X_j \to x\bar{x} + y\bar{y} (+ \slashchar{E})$ are studied via a technique that may be viewed as an adaptation of time-honoured Dalitz plot analyses. $X_i$ and $X_j$ are new heavy states (with $i,j=1...n$), which may be identical or distinct; and $x\bar{x}$ and $y\bar{y}$ are necessarily distinct Standard Model (SM) fermion pairs whose invariant masses can be measured. A Dalitz-like plot of said invariant masses, $M(x\bar{x})$ {\it vs.$$} $M(y\bar{y})$, exhibits a topology connected to the masses and specific decay chains of $X_i$ and $X_j$. Aside from relatively minor details, observed patterns consist of a collection of box and wedge shapes. This collection is model-dependent: comparison of the observed pattern to the possibilities for a specific model yields information on which new particle pair combinations are actually being produced, information beyond that extractable from conventional one-dimensional invariant mass distributions. The technique is illustrated via application to the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) process $pp \to \tilde{g}\tilde{g},\tilde{g}\tilde{q},\tilde{q}\tilde{q} \to \widetildeχ_i^0 \widetildeχ_j^0 \to e^+ e^- + μ^+ μ^- (+ \slashchar{E})$. Here the heavy states are neutralinos $\widetildeχ_i^0$ ($i=2,3,4$) -- note $\widetildeχ_1^0$ is excluded -- which are produced in gluino/squark ($\tilde{g}$/$\tilde{q}$) cascade decay chains. Even with fairly modest expectations for the LHC performance during the first few years, this method still provides substantial insight into the neutralino mass spectrum and couplings if gluino/squark masses are relatively low ($\simeq 400 \hbox{GeV}$).

description: High resolution time-of-flight neutron scattering measurements on Tb2Ti2O7 reveal a rich low temperature phase diagram in the presence of a magnetic field applied along [110]. In zero field at T=0.4 K, terbium titanate is a highly correlated cooperative paramagnet with disordered spins residing on a pyrochlore lattice of corner-sharing tetrahedra. Application of a small field condenses much of the magnetic diffuse scattering, characteristic of the disordered spins, into a new Bragg peak characteristic of a polarized paramagnet. At higher fields, a magnetically ordered phase is induced, which supports spin wave excitations indicative of continuous, rather than Ising-like spin degrees of freedom.

description: We predict that spatially modulated Zeeman splitting resulting in the formation of Zeeman lattice can be used for creation of localized self-sustained excitations in spinor polariton condensates with dominant repulsive interactions. In such lattices, the phenomenon of TE-TM splitting, playing the role of effective spin-orbit interaction, leads to the emergence of the stripe phase and formation of stable gap-stripe solitons with complex intrinsic structure resulting from the presence of two characteristic spatial scales, one of which is set by the period of Zeeman lattice, while other is set by the momentum in the depth of the Brillouin zone, at which such solitons bifurcate from the linear spectrum. Gap-stripe polariton solitons can be excited by suitable resonant pump.

Year: 2005

description: Heat transport at nanoscales in semiconductors is investigated with a statistical method. The Boltzmann Transport Equation (BTE) which characterize phonons motion and interaction within the crystal lattice has been simulated with a Monte Carlo technique. Our model takes into account media frequency properties through the dispersion curves for longitudinal and transverse acoustic branches. The BTE collisional term involving phonons scattering processes is simulated with the Relaxation Times Approximation theory. A new distribution function accounting for the collisional processes has been developed in order to respect energy conservation during phonons scattering events. This non deterministic approach provides satisfactory results in what concerns phonons transport in both ballistic and diffusion regimes. The simulation code has been tested with silicon and germanium thin films; temperature propagation within samples is presented and compared to analytical solutions (in the diffusion regime). The two materials bulk thermal conductivity is retrieved for temperature ranging between 100 K and 500 K. Heat transfer within a plane wall with a large thermal gradient (250 K-500 K) is proposed in order to expose the model ability to simulate conductivity thermal dependence on heat exchange at nanoscales. Finally, size effects and validity of heat conduction law are investigated for several slab thicknesses.

Therefore, SMEI can detect or provide upper limits for the optical afterglow from gamma-ray bursts in the tens of minutes after the burst when different shocked regions may emit optically. Here we provide upper limits for 58 bursts between 2003 February and 2005 April.

description: We uncover the basis for the validity of the Tsallis statistics at the onset of chaos in logistic maps. The dynamics within the critical attractor is found to consist of an infinite family of Mori's $q$-phase transitions of rapidly decreasing strength, each associated to a discontinuity in Feigenbaum's trajectory scaling function $σ$. The value of $q$ at each transition corresponds to the same special value for the entropic index $q$, such that the resultant sets of $q$-Lyapunov coefficients are equal to the Tsallis rates of entropy evolution.

description: Arylazopyrazoles (AAPs) as substitutes for azo derivatives have gained considerable attention due to their superior properties offering E/Z photo-isomerization with high yield. In order to compare and quantify their performance, azobenzene tetraethylammonium (Azo-TB) and arylazopyrazole tetraethylammonium (AAP-TB) bromides were synthesized and characterized in the bulk (water) using NMR spectroscopy. At the air-water interface complementary information from vibrational sum-frequency generation (SFG) spectroscopy and neutron reflectometry (NR) has revealed the effects of E/Z isomerization in great detail. In bulk water the photostationary states of >89% for E/Z switching in both directions were very similar for the surfactants, while their interfacial behavior was substantially different. In particular, the surface excess $Γ$ of the surfactants changed drastically between E/Z isomers for AAP-TB (maximum change of $Γ$: 2.15 $μ$mol/m$^2$); for Azo-TB the change was only moderate (maximum change of $Γ$: 1.02 $μ$mol/m$^2$). Analysis of SFG spectra revealed that strong non-resonant contributions that heterodyned the resonant vibrational bands were proportional to $Γ$, enabling the aromatic C-H band to be interpreted as an indicator for changes in interfacial molecular order. Close comparison of $Γ$ from NR with the SFG amplitude from the aromatic C-H stretch as a function of concentrations and E/Z conformation revealed substantial molecular order changes for AAP-TB. In contrast, only $Γ$ and not the molecular order varied for Azo-TB. These differences in interfacial properties are attributed to the molecular structure of the AAP center that enables favorable lateral interactions at the air-water interface, causing closed-packed interfacial layers and substantial changes during E/Z photo-isomerization.

We show that the resulting equations are numerically stable and require the evaluation of a similar number of integrals as compared to standard CIS theory; one can easily differentiate the required frontier orbitals ($\mathtt{h}$ and $\mathtt{l}$) with minimal cost. The resulting algorithm has been implemented within the Q-Chem electronic structure package and should be immediately useful for understanding photochemistry with $S_{0}$-$S_{1}$ crossings.

description: An interesting alternative to supersymmetry (SUSY) for extending physics beyond the Standard Model is a model with universal extra dimensions (UED), in which the SUSY superpartners are replaced by Kaluza-Klein excitations of the Standard Model particles. If new particles are discovered at the LHC, even if their mass spectrum favours SUSY or UED, it will be vital to distinguish between their spin assignments in the two models as far as possible. We extend the method proposed by Barr [hep-ph/0405052] to the UED case and investigate the angular and charge asymmetries of decay distributions for sample mass spectra of both SUSY and UED types. For hierarchical (`SUSY-type') mass spectra there is a good chance of distinguishing the spin structures of the two models. However, a mass spectrum of the quasi-degenerate type expected in UED would make it difficult to observe spin correlations.

description: The present report constitutes one of the last deliverables of Ride2Rail project and it is prepared in the framework of WP5 “Evaluation and Impact assessment”. The RIDE2RAIL project aims to further enhance the notion of ride-sharing by developing, testing, and delivering a suite of as-a-service software components, proposing trips that will be covered partly by public transport modes and partly by private cars (ridesharing). The overall goal of WP5 was to define, develop and implement an evaluation framework to assess the impact of RIDE2RAIL (pre-and post-demo). In more detail, this document presents the results of Task 5.3 “Demo and overall evaluation” and Task 5.4 “Impact assessment”.  

This report aims to fulfil the following objectives:

1.       To describe the methodology for the evaluation of the demo results (targets of KPIs set at global level but also at local).

2.       To present the results (achieved KPIs) from each demonstration site.

3.       To evaluate and interpret the impact of the demonstrations as well as prioritize impact areas when planning ride-sharing schemes.

In order to structure the methodology for the evaluation and impact assessment of the pilots a thorough literature review of related previous ride-sharing pilots was carried out and is presented in the beginning of this document. The four demonstration cities (Athens, Helsinki, Brno and Padua) and the KPIs (local and overall) are described for the reader to understand the performance and impact of each demonstration.  

The impact evaluation process adopted by Ride2Rail project considers the four key impacts defined by topic S2R-OC-IP4-01-2019, which are: 1) the increase of passengers using public transport, 2) the improvement of rail connectivity with rural areas, 3) the minimization of environmental pollution while travelling, and 4) the proposal of additional criteria for informed decision making when planning a trip. In this context, the targets of KPIs are presented together with the achieved results following the demonstration in each city. Additionally, the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method is utilized to investigate the priorities, as perceived by partner stakeholders (i.e., transport providers, MaaS service providers, ICT providers, policy, and advisory bodies), that should be set when planning for such services. Finally, the lessons learned are described to contribute to future research.

description: We study the behavior of the optimal path between two sites separated by a distance $r$ on a $d$-dimensional lattice of linear size $L$ with weight assigned to each site. We focus on the strong disorder limit, i.e., when the weight of a single site dominates the sum of the weights along each path. We calculate the probability distribution $P(\ell_{\rm opt}|r,L)$ of the optimal path length $\ell_{\rm opt}$, and find for $r\ll L$ a power law decay with $\ell_{\rm opt}$, characterized by exponent $g_{\rm opt}$. We determine the scaling form of $P(\ell_{\rm opt}|r,L)$ in two- and three-dimensional lattices. To test the conjecture that the optimal paths in strong disorder and flow in percolation clusters belong to the same universality class, we study the tracer path length $\ell_{\rm tr}$ of tracers inside percolation through their probability distribution $P(\ell_{\rm tr}|r,L)$. We find that, because the optimal path is not constrained to belong to a percolation cluster, the two problems are different. However, by constraining the optimal paths to remain inside the percolation clusters in analogy to tracers in percolation, the two problems exhibit similar scaling properties.

description: The commercial bison industry is relatively new to North Dakota. There were an estimated 23,000 head of bison in North Dakota in 1998, and these animals were found in 47 of 53 counties. The purpose of this study was to estimate the economic contribution of the bison industry to the North Dakota economy. A survey of North Dakota bison producers and processors was conducted to provide estimates of direct impacts of bison activities within the state. Secondary economic impacts were determined using the North Dakota Input-Output Model. The direct impact of production and processing of bison in North Dakota in 1998 was estimated at $23 million. The $23 million in direct impacts generated an additional $47 million in secondary impacts within the state. The North Dakota bison industry supported a total of 757 secondary full- time equivalent (FTE) jobs within the state. Total economic activity generated within the state was estimated at $70 million, including $27 million in personal income and nearly $18 million in retail sales. In addition, the bison industry generated $4 million in tax revenue (including property, personal income, sales & use, and corporate income taxes). The direct impact of bison production in 1998 ranked fourth in North Dakota's livestock industry; below cattle and calves, dairy products, and hogs, and above turkey and sheep. The average direct impact generated for every bison in the state was $1,000. Total economic activity generated per bison in 1998 was $3,100 (includes direct and secondary impacts from production and processing). For every 30 head of bison an additional secondary FTE job was supported.

description: Trade analysis of retail and service sectors allows economic development practioners to evaluate the performance of these sectors in their respective communities. Estimation of market potential identifies specific business categories (e.g., computer stores) that have potential for further growth. Trade analysis of retail and service sectors in North Dakota shows that except in a few urban counties, such as Cass, Grand Forks, or Burleigh, these sectors were inefficient in retaining and attracting customer dollars. Market potential estimation of over 130 specific business categories showed that a considerable number of business categories have potential for further growth, e.g., computer and software stores, used merchandise stores, and heavy construction equipment rental and leasing services.
An investigation of the potential role of PKC isoforms in the regulation of acetyl-CoA carboxylase-1
Creators: name: Collins, Susan Elizabeth

description: Acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC) catalyzes the conversion of acetyl-CoA to malonyl-CoA, the first committed step in de novo fatty acid synthesis. Although the enzyme is activated in response to insulin, the mechanism of activation is unclear. In adipose tissue, ACC is phosphorylated on a distinct site, the ‘I-site’, in a PI3K-dependent manner following insulin stimulation but the kinase responsible has not yet been identified. This thesis describes work done to test the role of the atypical PKC isozymes as potential ACC kinases. Analysis of kinase expression revealed that PKC isozymes delta, zeta, and mu (PKD) were highly expressed in rat white adipose tissue. Of nine purified PKC isozymes tested in vitro, PKC-zeta phosporylated ACC most efficiently, but the stoichiometry of phosphorylation was still very low. In adipocytes, the PKC inhibitor Ro 31-8220 accelerated the activation of ACC in response to insulin, suggesting that a target of the compound is normally involved in the inhibition of ACC activation. Another PKC inhibitor, Go 6983, had no effect. The two compounds have similar potency against PKC isozymes, with the exception of PKC-betal and -betall which are more sensitive to Ro 31-8220. AMPK, which has been reported to inhibit ACC in adipose tissue, is also inhibited by Ro 31-8220 in vitro, but probably not in adipocytes. This indicates that some kinase other than AMPK is responsible for inhibition of ACC in adipocytes. The delay in ACC activation following insulin stimulation may represent an important control in glucose utilization. In addition, the more rapid activation of ACC following treatment of adipocytes with Ro 31-8220 indicates that a target of this compound is responsible for the delay.

description: We describe results of modeling the effects on Earth-like planets of long-duration gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) within a few kiloparsecs. A primary effect is generation of nitrogen oxide compounds which deplete ozone. Ozone depletion leads to an increase in solar UVB radiation at the surface, enhancing DNA damage, particularly in marine microorganisms such as phytoplankton. In addition, we expect increased atmospheric opacity due to buildup of nitrogen dioxide produced by the burst and enhanced precipitation of nitric acid. We review here previous work on this subject and discuss recent developments, including further discussion of our estimates of the rates of impacting GRBs and the possible role of short-duration bursts.

description: The results from work done to extend the Johnson-Cousins BVRI photometric standard sequence to faint levels of V ~ 21 mag in compact fields is presented. Such calibration and extension of sequences is necessary to fill a calibration gap, if reliable photometry from modest aperture telescopes in space (e.g. HST), or terrestrial telescopes with apertures exceeding 4-m is to done. Sequences like the ones presented here, which cover a large range in brightness as well as color, will allow photometric calibration to be done efficiently, as well as for such work to be less prone to systematic sources of error. Photometry of stars in approximately 10 x 10 arc-minute fields around 3 globular clusters, NGC 2419, Pal 4 and Pal 14 are presented. In each field, several stars are measured in B, V, R and I passbands, with standard errors less than 0.015 mag from random errors, to levels fainter than V=21 mag. The primary context for the work presented here is that parts of these fields were observed repeatedly by the Wide Field Planetary Camera-2 WFPC2) of the HST, and thus these newly calibrated sequences can be used to retroactively calibrate WFPC2 at over various times of its operating life. The sequences presented here agree at the 0.02 mag level with other extant calibrations of these targets, except in the I band, where there are color dependent deviations of up to 0.05 mag versus one other photometric sequence. Possible causes for this discrepancy are examined.

description: We have performed a systematic study of the log$ft$ values, shape factors and electron spectra for the second-forbidden nonunique $β^-$ decays of $^{24}$Na$(4^+) \rightarrow ^{24}$Mg$(2^+)$ and $^{36}$Cl$(2^+) \rightarrow ^{36}$Ar$(0^+)$ transitions under the framework of the nuclear shell model. We have performed the shell model calculations in the $sd$ model space, using more recent microscopic effective interactions such as Daejeon16, chiral N3LO, and JISP16. These interactions are derived from the no-core shell model wave functions using Okubo-Lee-Suzuki transformation.For comparison, we have also shown the results obtain from the phenomenological USDB interaction. To test the predictive power of these interactions first we have computed low-lying energy spectra of parent and daughter nuclei involved in these transitions. The computed results for energy spectra, nuclear matrix elements, log$ft$ values, shape factors, electron spectra and decomposition of the integrated shape factor are reported and compare with the available experimental data.

How Haptics and Drawing Enhance the Learning of Anatomy. In Anatomical Sciences Education (ASE).

description: Students’ engagement with two‐dimensional (2D) representations as opposed to three‐dimensional (3D) representations of anatomy such as in dissection, is significant in terms of the depth of their comprehension.This qualitative study aimed to understand how students
learned anatomy using observational and drawing activities that included touch, called haptics. Five volunteer second year medical students at the University of Cape Town participated in a six‐day educational intervention in which a novel “haptico‐visual observation and drawing” (HVOD) method was employed. Data were collected through individual interviews as well as a focus group discussion. The HVOD method was successfully applied by all the participants, who reported an improvement of their cognitive understanding and memorization of the 3D form of the anatomical part. All the five participants described the development of a “mental picture” of the object as being central to “deep learning.” The use of the haptic senses coupled with the simultaneous act of drawing enrolled sources of information that were reported by the participants to have enabled better memorization. We postulate that the more sources of information about an object, the greater degree of complexity could be appreciated, and therefore the more clearly it could be captured and memorized. The inclusion of haptics has implications for cadaveric dissection versus non‐cadaveric forms of learning.

description: The WMAP Q, V, and W band radial profiles of temperature deviation of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) were constructed for a sample of 31 randomly selected nearby clusters of galaxies in directions of Galactic latitude $|b| >$ 30$^o$. The profiles were compared in detail with the expected CMB Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect (SZE) caused by these clusters, with the hot gas properties of each cluster inferred observationally by applying gas temperatures as measured by ASCA to isothermal $β$ models of the ROSAT X-ray surface brightness profiles, and with the WMAP point spread function fully taken into consideration. After co-adding the 31 cluster field, it appears that WMAP detected the SZE in all three bands. Quantitatively, however, the observed SZE only accounts for about 1/4 of the expected decrement. The discrepancy represents too much unexplained extra flux: in the W band, the detected SZE corresponds on average to 5.6 times less X-ray gas mass within a 10 arcmin radius than the mass value given by the ROSAT $β$ model. We examined critically how the X-ray prediction of the SZE may depend on our uncertainties in the density and temperature of the hot intracluster plasma, and emission by cluster radio sources. Although our comparison between the detected and expected SZE levels is subject to a margin of error, the fact remains that the average observed SZE depth and profile are consistent with those of the primary CMB anisotropy, i.e. in principle the average WMAP temperature decrement among the 31 rich clusters is too shallow to accomodate any extra effect like the SZE. A unique aspect of this SZE investigation is that because all the data being analyzed are in the public domain, our work is readily open to the scrutiny of others.

Coherent transport in linear arrays of quantum dots: the effects of period doubling and of quasi-periodicity

description: We evaluate the phase-coherent transport of electrons along linear structures of varying length, which are made from two types of potential wells set in either a periodic or a Fibonacci quasi-periodic sequence. The array is described by a tight-binding Hamiltonian and is reduced to an effective dimer by means of a decimation-renormalization method, extended to allow for connection to external metallic leads, and the transmission coefficient is evaluated in a T-matrix scattering approach. Parallel behaviors are found for the energy dependence of the density of electron states and of the transmittivity of the array. In particular, we explicitly show that on increasing its length the periodic array undergoes a metal-insulator transition near single occupancy per dot, whereas prominent pseudo-gaps emerge away from the band center in the Fibonacci-ordered array.
