description: In recent years, there has been significant interest in the field of extended black hole thermodynamics, where the cosmological constant and/or other coupling parameters are treated as thermodynamic variables. Drawing inspiration from the Iyer-Wald formalism, which reveals the intrinsic and universal structure of conventional black hole thermodynamics, we illustrate that a proper extension of this formalism also unveils the underlying theoretical structure of extended black hole thermodynamics. As a remarkable consequence, for any gravitational theory described by a diffeomorphism invariant action, it is always possible to construct a consistent extended thermodynamics using this extended formalism.

description: Channel drop filters in a plasmon-polaritons metal are studied. It shows that light can be efficiently dropped. Results obtained by the FDTD method are consistent with those from coupled mode theory. It also shows, without considering the loss of the metal, that the quality factor for the channel drop system reaches 4000. The quality factor decreases significantly if we take into account the loss, which also leads to a weak drop efficiency.

description: Recent research has emphasized the influence of colonization on the institutional development and economic performance in former European colonies. Where European colonizers settled, they replicated the investment-conducive institutions found at home. It has been argued that a harsh disease environment and a highly urbanized native population worked against colonization. We show evidence for another significant element explaining the endogenous character of colonization strategies and the formation of institutions. We find the presence of precious metals, gold and silver, to imply an increase in settlements, and an improvement in institutional quality, even when correcting for settlements. Highly valued gold and silver reserves attracted Europeans in large numbers and resulted in an institutional upgrade of mineral-rich areas.

description: We consider a nonlinear sigma model coupled to the metric of a conic space. We obtain restrictions for a nonlinear sigma model to be a source of the conic space. We then study nonlinear sigma model in the conic space background. We find coordinate transformations which reduce the chiral fields equations in the conic space background to field equations in Minkowski spacetime. This enables us to apply the same methods for obtaining exact solutions in Minkowski spacetime to the case of a conic spacetime. In the case the solutions depend on two spatial coordinates we employ Ivanov's geometrical ansatz. We give a general analysis and also present classes of solutions in which there is dependence on three and four coordinates. We discuss with special attention the intermediate instanton and meron solutions and their analogous in the conic space. We find differences in the total actions and topological charges of these solutions and discuss the role of the deficit angle.

description: The public GALPROP code gives a fully numerical solution for the spectrum of cosmic rays propagating through a linear Galactic wind directed outwards from the Galactic plane in the framework of a cylindrical diffusion model. Alternatively, for the linear Galactic wind case, we present a semi-analytical solution of the two-zone cylindrical model which describes the spectrum of cosmic-ray antiprotons produced from the primary sources throughout the dark matter halo. While the secondary antiprotons can be generated by, e.g., the GALPROP WebRun, consistently using this semi-analytical solution for the primary ones would be helpful to build a suited dark matter (DM) model, which may be sophisticated, and then to perform a statistical analysis when confronting with data. As an example, using the obtained formula, we study the possible DM signal, through the channel $\text{DM DM} \to {\bar b}b$, and its constraint from the measurement of the AMS-02 antiproton-to-proton ratio. The indication of the DM signal is discussed. The advantage of the semi-analytical approach and its comparison with the GALPROP model are presented.

Optimal convergence rates for the invariant density estimation of jump-diffusion processes

Year: 2021
Subjects: subject: Statistics Theory (math.ST)

description: We aim at estimating the invariant density associated to a stochastic differential equation with jumps in low dimension, which is for $d=1$ and $d=2$. We consider a class of jump diffusion processes whose invariant density belongs to some Hölder space. Firstly, in dimension one, we show that the kernel density estimator achieves the convergence rate $\frac{1}{T}$, which is the optimal rate in the absence of jumps. This improves the convergence rate obtained in [Amorino, Gloter (2021)], which depends on the Blumenthal-Getoor index for $d=1$ and is equal to $\frac{\log T}{T}$ for $d=2$. Secondly, we show that is not possible to find an estimator with faster rates of estimation. Indeed, we get some lower bounds with the same rates $\{\frac{1}{T},\frac{\log T}{T}\}$ in the mono and bi-dimensional cases, respectively. Finally, we obtain the asymptotic normality of the estimator in the one-dimensional case.

Bogoliubov-Fermi surface with inversion symmetry and electron-electron interactions: relativistic analogies and lattice theory

description: We show that the general low-energy Bogoliubov-de Genness Hamiltonian in a multiband superconductor with broken time reversal and preserved inversion symmetry is a generator of real four-dimensional representation of $SO(4)$. In the particular representation such an effective Hamiltonian is a purely imaginary matrix, and it is proportional to the antisymmetric tensor of a fictitious electromagnetic field which one can define in the momentum space. The quantum time evolution of the low-energy quasiparticle state becomes this way closely related to the classical relativistic motion of a charged particle in the presence of the Lorentz force that would be derived from such an electromagnetic field configuration. The condition for the emergence of a Bogoliubov-Fermi surface can then be understood as orthogonality of the fictitious electric and magnetic fields, which would allow zero Lorentz force. The corresponding zero-energy eigenstates are identified as the physical timelike and the unphysical spacelike solutions of the Lorentz force equation. We study the looming instability of the inversion-symmetric Bogoliubov-Fermi surface in presence of electron-electron interaction by formulating a concrete interacting model on the Lieb lattice that features the requisite $SO(4)$ kinetic energy term together with nearest-neighbor two-body repulsion. The latter is shown to favor dynamical breaking of the inversion symmetry. The inversion symmetry in our lattice model indeed becomes spontaneously broken at zero temperature at infinitesimal repulsion, with the original Bogoliubov-Fermi surface deformed and reduced in size. General features of this symmetry breaking phenomenon are discussed and a comparison with other works in literature is presented.

description: A spatial welfare framework for the analysis of the spatial dimensions of sustainability is developed. It incorporates agglomeration effects, interregional trade, negative environmental externalities and various land use categories. The model is used to compare rankings of spatial configurations according to evaluations based on social welfare and ecological footprint indicators. Five spatial configurations are considered for this purpose. The exercise is operationalized with the help of a two-region model of the economy that is in line with the 'new economic geography'. Various (counter) examples show that the footprint method is not consistent with an approach aimed at maximum social welfare.

description: We use a panel dataset of UK workers to look for evidence of compensating wage differentials for workplace risk. Risk data are available at the four-digit industry level or at the three-digit occupation level. We discuss various econometric problems associated with the hedonic wage approach, namely measurement error, instability of the estimates to specification changes, and endogeneity. We find that if we assume a classical measurement error, the true risk signal would be completely drowned out in our data, which would imply a severe downward bias of the OLS coefficient on risk. But this prediction is at odds with our OLS estimates of the VSL, which are large, especially for blue collar workers. Further, the coefficient on risk changes varies dramatically with the inclusion or exclusion of industry and/or occupation dummies, as well as with the addition of nonfatal risk. When we instrument for risk, which we treat as endogenous with wage, and apply 2SLS or a procedure suggested by Garen (1988), we find negative associations between risk and wages for all workers, which is against the notion of compensating wage differentials, or, for blue-collar workers, extremely large VSL figures. Finally, we exploit the panel nature of our data to apply various estimation procedures (the 'within' estimator, GLS and the Hausman-Taylor procedure) that correct for unobserved heterogeneity and endogeneity. The coefficient on risk is usually negative and insignificant for the sample of all workers, which once again questions the notion of compensating wage differentials. For blue-collar workers we obtain reasonable VSLs, but the association between risk and wages is not statistically significant. We conclude that if compensating differentials for risk exist, measurement error, other econometric problems, and the changing nature of labor markets prevent us from observing them. We also conclude that models and techniques for panel data that account for unobserved heterogeneity and endogeneity seem more reliable than the techniques typically employed with cross-sectional data.
Domain Walls and Vector Solitons in the Coupled Nonlinear Schrodinger Equation

description: We outline a program to classify domain walls (DWs) and vector solitons in the 1D two-component coupled nonlinear Schrodinger (CNLS) equation with general coefficients. The CNLS equation is reduced first to a complex ordinary differential equation (ODE), and then to a real ODE after imposing a restriction. In the real ODE, we identify four possible equilibria including ZZ, ZN, NZ, and NN, with Z (N) denoting a zero (nonzero) value in a component, and analyze their spatial stability. We identify two types of DWs including asymmetric DWs between ZZ and NN and symmetric DWs between ZN and NZ. We identify three codimension-1 mechanisms for generating vector solitons in the real ODE including heteroclinic cycles, local bifurcations, and exact solutions. Heteroclinic cycles are formed by assembling two DWs back-to-back and generate extended bright-bright (BB), dark-dark (DD), and dark-bright (DB) solitons. Local bifurcations include the Turing (Hamiltonian-Hopf) bifurcation that generates Turing solitons with oscillatory tails and the pitchfork bifurcation that generates DB, bright-antidark, DD, and dark-antidark solitons with monotonic tails. Exact solutions include scalar bright and dark solitons with vector amplitudes. Any codimension-1 real vector soliton can be numerically continued into a codimension-0 family. Complex vector solitons have two more parameters: a dark or antidark component can be numerically continued in the wavenumber, while a bright component can be multiplied by a constant phase factor (polarization). We introduce a numerical continuation method to find real and complex vector solitons and show that DWs and DB solitons in the immiscible regime can be related by varying bifurcation parameters. We show that collisions between two polarized DB solitons typically feature a mass exchange that changes the parameters of the two bright components and the two soliton velocities.

description: We address the issue of the discrimination between two-qubit amplitude damping channels by exploring several strategies. For the single-shot, we show that the excited state does not always give the optimal input, and that side entanglement assistance has limited benefit. On the contrary, feedback assistance from the environment is more beneficial. For the two-shot, we prove the in-utility of entangled inputs. Then focusing on individual (local) measurements, we find the optimal adaptive strategy.
The fish branchial epithelium : an immunological approach to ion transport protein localization
Creators: name: Wilson, Jonathan Mark
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: In my thesis the cellular and subcellular distributions of various ion transport proteins were determined in the fish branchial epithelium using an immunological approach employing non-homologous antibodies. The viabilities of current models of transepithelial ion transport in the gills of freshwater, and seawater fishes and an unusual amphibious air-breathing fish were tested. My thesis work primarily addresses the mechanisms involved in the translocation of Na+ and Cl- and their counterions, H+ and HCO3-, respectively and of NH4+. In freshwater fishes (tilapia: Oreochromis mossambicus; trout: Oncorhynchus mykiss) the vH+-ATPase colocalizes apically with an epithelial Na+ channel (ENaC)-like protein, however, the distribution of these proteins is restricted to pavement cells (PVCs) in tilapia while being found in both PVCs and mitochondria-rich (MR) cells in trout. An Na+/H+ exchanger-like (NHE) protein is also identified in the gill of the freshwater tilapia. In tilapia and coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch), an apical band 3-like CI-/HCO3- anion exchanger (AE) is localized to MR cells demonstating the presence of a freshwater-type chloride cell (involved in Cl- uptake). In seawater fishes, the chloride cell has been well characterized as the site of active Cl- elimination. In my observations of seawater fishes (O.kisutch; turbot: Scophthamus maximus) and the brackishwater, air-breathing mudskipper fish (Periophthalmodon schlosseri), ion transport proteins involved in active Cl- elimination are localized to chloride cells (Na+,K+-ATPase, Na+:K+:2Cl- cotransporter (NKCC) and apical cystic fibrosis transmembrane receptor (CFTR)-like anion channel). The AE and NHE proteins that are potentially involved in acid-base regulation are localized to the chloride cell apical crypt and accessory cell, respectively, in the stenohaline turbot. However, in the euryhaline coho the apical AE of the freshwater MR cell is not observed in the seawater acclimated fish. In the mudskipper fish, I have shown that NHE, Na+,K+-ATPase, and carbonic anhydrase in gill MR cells contribute to active ammonia (NH4+) excretion in pharmacological studies. The branchial epithelium contains an unusual abundance of MR cells and immunolocalization studies show the presence of NHE-2 and 3-like isoforms, CFTR, and CA associated with the apical crypt and Na+,K+-ATPase and NKCC with the tubular system of these cells. And so it goes....

We do so with an eye on the past, looking at the perspectives global helioseismology offered in its earlier phases, in particular the mid-to-late 1970s and the 1980s. We look at how modern, higher-quality, longer datasets coupled with new developments in analysis, have altered, refined, and changed some of those perspectives, and opened others that were not previously available for study. We finish by discussing outstanding challenges and questions for the field.

Effect of surface disorder on the chiral surface states of a three-dimensional quantum Hall system

description: We investigate the effect of surface disorder on the chiral surface states of a three-dimensional quantum Hall system. Utilizing a transfer-matrix method, we find that the localization length of the surface state along the magnetic field decreases with the surface disorder strength in the weak disorder regime, but increases anomalously in the strong disorder regime. In the strong disorder regime, the surface states mainly locate at the first inward layer to avoid the strong disorder in the outmost layer. The anomalous increase of the localization length can be explained by an effective model, which maps the strong disorder on the surface layer to the weak disorder on the first inward layer. Our work demonstrates that surface disorder can be an effective way to control the transport behavior of the surface states along the magnetic field. We also investigate the effect of surface disorder on the full distribution of conductances P(g) of the surface states in the quasi-one-dimensional (1D) regime for various surface disorder strengths. In particular, we find that P(g) is Gaussian in the quasi-1D metal regime and log-normal in the quasi-1D insulator regime. In the crossover regime, P(g) exhibits highly nontrivial forms, whose shapes coincide with the results obtained from the Dorokhov-Mello-Pereyra-Kumar equation of a weakly disordered quasi-1D wire in the absence of time-reversal symmetry. Our results suggest that P(g) is fully determined by the average conductance, independent of the details of the system, in agreement with the single-parameter scaling hypothesis.

description: The objective of this paper is to investigate the actual situation in the shift towards the implementation of Sustainable Development Policies in Europe. The aim is to highlight the key role of the European Union in bringing about sustainable development within Europe and also on the wider global stage. It will show how the European Commission performs its commitment in reaching a sustainable regulation by issuing some documents and declarations. The paper frames the EU action into an international framework of strategies, agreements and policies on SD and, at the same time, provides an overview on experiences of SD strategy implementations at the national level, according to the commission pressing on MS to produce their own SD strategy and implement it. Indicators systems, issues of interest and fields of actions are compared: the analysis of these elements aims to highlight common scenarios of SD strategies that reveal the trends towards a more sustainable growth in the European Union.

Systematics and biology of the Ichnestomina, including new genera and species (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae, Cetoniinae)
Creators: name: Perissinotto, Renzo
Publisher: name: Fragmenta Entomologica
Year: 2020

description: The subtribe Ichnestomina, endemic to southern Africa, exhibits a suite of plesiomorphic features that reflects a particularly old evolutionary age among the Goliathini. Sexual dimorphism is extreme and females are generally brachypterous and unable to fly. Also, adult stages do not feed, and therefore remain active for only a few days after emerging from the soil, devoting all their energy reserves to reproduction. Consequently, populations are range-bound to small areas, often completely isolated on high mountain peaks or ridges, leading to rapid speciation. Results of recent investigations and historical data are hereby combined to provide an updated and revised structure of the systematics of this subtribe. As a result, four genera are now recognised in place of the perceived uniformity earlier expressed with much reservation by Holm (1992). This involves the rehabilitation of the original name of Gariep Gory and Percheron, 1833, to accommodate species with fully winged and flying females as well as elongate and incision-free dorsal lobes of parameres (Gariep patera and G. perstriata. It is further proposed that the genus Ichnestoma Gory and Percheron, 1833 be restricted to species with moderate female brachyptery and males with cretaceous markings on their body surface. Consequently, two new genera are erected (Karooida gen. nov., Mzansica gen. nov.) and four species-complexes (Ichnestoma cuspidata, I. albomaculata, Mzansica nasula and M. luridipennis), are added in order to account for key differences among species, including degree of female brachyptery (wing:elytron length ratio), presence/absence of cretaceous markings, aedeagal structure and biogeographic distribution. Eleven new species (Ichnestoma carbonaria sp. nov., I. dealbata sp. nov., I. furcata sp. nov., I. karoominoris sp. nov., I. spatulata sp. nov., Karooida balli sp. nov., K. sagittata sp. nov., Mzansica botswanica sp. nov., M. clarki sp. nov., M. denticulata sp. nov., M. falcipata sp. nov.) are added to the 13 species and three subspecies currently recognised in this subtribe. The three subspecies are elevated to species status (Ichnestoma cochleata stat. nov., I. fuscipennis stat. nov., Karooida kikvorsti comb. et stat. nov.). The diagnostic characters of each taxon are described along with all available knowledge on the habitat characteristics and general biology of each species.

description: A stochastic gravitational wave background (SGWB), created by the superposition of signals from unresolved astrophysical sources, may be detected in the next few years. Estimating the variation of intensity across the sky can, therefore, play a key role in improving our understanding of astrophysical models. Skymaps have been produced for all the data-taking runs of the advanced ground-based interferometric detectors. While these maps are being produced in pixel and SpH bases, to probe, respectively, localized and diffuse astrophysical and cosmological sources, with algorithms that employ cross-correlation as the common strategy, the underlying algebra and numerical implementation remain different. As a consequence, there was a need for producing skymaps in both bases in those analyses. We show that these manifestly redundant methods could indeed be unified to a single analysis that can probe very different scales and demonstrate it by applying them on real data. We first develop the algebra to show that the results in two different bases are easily transformable. We then incorporate both the schemes in the now-standard analysis pipeline for anisotropic SGWB, PyStoch. This will enable SGWB anisotropy searches in SpH basis also to take full advantage of integrated \hpx tools and makes it computationally feasible to perform the search in every frequency bin. We, however, follow a different approach for direct estimation of the SpH moments. We show that the results obtained from these different methods match very well; the differences are less than $0.1$\% for the SpH moments and less than $0.01$\% for the Fisher information matrices. Thus we conclude that a single skymap will be sufficient to describe the anisotropies in a stochastic background. The multiple capabilities of PyStoch will be useful for estimating and constraining various measures that characterize an anisotropic background.

description: We present a Python package, BubbleDet, for computing one-loop functional determinants around spherically symmetric background fields. This gives the next-to-leading order correction to both the vacuum decay rate, at zero temperature, and to the bubble nucleation rate in first-order phase transitions at finite temperature. For predictions of gravitational wave signals from cosmological phase transitions, this is expected to remove one of the leading sources of theoretical uncertainty. BubbleDet is applicable to arbitrary scalar potentials and in any dimension up to seven. It has methods for fluctuations of scalar fields, including Goldstone bosons, and for gauge fields, but is limited to cases where the determinant factorises into a product of separate determinants, one for each field degree of freedom. To our knowledge, BubbleDet is the first package dedicated to calculating functional determinants in spherically symmetric background

Acceleration of Plasma Flows in the Solar Atmosphere Due to Magnetofluid Coupling - Simulation and Analysis

description: Within the framework of a two-fluid description possible pathways for the generation of fast flows (dynamical as well as steady) in the lower solar atmosphere is established. It is shown that a primary plasma flow (locally sub-Alfvénic) is accelerated when interacting with emerging/ambient arcade--like closed field structures. The acceleration implies a conversion of thermal and field energies to kinetic energy of the flow. The time-scale for creating reasonably fast flows ($\gtrsim 100$ km/s) is dictated by the initial ion skin depth while the amplification of the flow depends on local $β$. It is shown, for the first time, that distances over which the flows become "fast" are $\sim 0.01 R_s$ from the interaction surface; later the fast flow localizes (with dimensions $\lesssim 0.05 R_S$) in the upper central region of the original arcade. For fixed initial temperature the final speed ($\gtrsim 500 km/s$) of the accelerated flow, and the modification of the field structure are independent of the time-duration (life-time) of the initial flow. In the presence of dissipation, these flows are likely to play a fundamental role in the heating of the finely structured Solar atmosphere.

description: Despite the growth of the Hearing Voices Movement, the phenomenon of voice-hearing is still seen to be dominated by positivist and reductionist literature, focussing on cause-and-effect frameworks with the aim of offering a fix or cure to people who have lived experiences of hearing voices. Many research studies have been conducted in both clinical and non-clinical populations, however there is currently no research into the experiences of voice-hearing for men who have been in prison. Although voice-hearing is not necessarily a detrimental phenomenon in subjective mental health, there are those that find their voice-hearing distressing. Therefore, there are psychological support services available to address these needs, if and when they become problematic. However, healthcare services that work with mental health difficulties such as psychosis or trauma, are considered to have the highest prevalence of voice-hearing experiences, still often driven from a diagnostic pathologising perspective. Questions, therefore, arise around how men who have been imprisoned in the UK experience voice-hearing, the meaning that is attributed to this, and their understanding of psychological support available to them in the prison system. The present study seeks to explore these questions through the illumination of phenomenological inquiry. Semi-structured online and telephone interviews were conducted with three men who have lived experiences of voice-hearing and have been imprisoned in the UK. Issues discussed included self-identity, confinement, violence, survival and death, time, and service provision. The research also found the essential need for person to person relating and the importance of individual narratives, especially in the context of access to forensic and clinical mental health services. The research aims to express contributors’ individual narratives and offer a humanistic and pluralistic understanding of the phenomenon, more in line with social justice values, drawing upon and contributing to the literature in the field of counselling psychology.
Nonlinear Dynamics in the Resonance Lineshape of NbN Superconducting Resonators

description: In this work we report on unusual nonlinear dynamics measured in the resonance response of NbN superconducting microwave resonators. The nonlinear dynamics, occurring at relatively low input powers (2-4 orders of magnitude lower than Nb), and which include among others, jumps in the resonance lineshape, hysteresis loops changing direction and resonance frequency shift, are measured herein using varying input power, applied magnetic field, white noise and rapid frequency sweeps. Based on these measurement results, we consider a hypothesis according to which local heating of weak links forming at the boundaries of the NbN grains are responsible for the observed behavior, and we show that most of the experimental results are qualitatively consistent with such hypothesis.

description: As per the objectives of Project CHANGES, particularly its thematic sub-project on the use of virtual technologies for museums and art collections, our goal was to obtain a digital twin of the temporary exhibition on Ulisse Aldrovandi called "The Other Renaissance", and make it accessible to users online. After a preliminary study of the exhibition, focussing on acquisition constraints and related solutions, we proceeded with the digital twin creation by acquiring, processing, modelling, optimising, exporting, and metadating the exhibition. We made hybrid use of two acquisition techniques to create new digital cultural heritage objects and environments, and we used open technologies, formats, and protocols to make available the final digital product. Here, we describe the process of collecting and curating bibliographical exhibition (meta)data and the beginning of the digital twin creation to foster its findability, accessibility, interoperability, and reusability. The creation of the digital twin is currently ongoing.
