description: Electron beam induced current (EBIC) is a powerful characterization technique which offers the high spatial resolution needed to study polycrystalline solar cells. Current models of EBIC assume that excitations in the $p$-$n$ junction depletion region result in perfect charge collection efficiency. However we find that in CdTe and Si samples prepared by focused ion beam (FIB) milling, there is a reduced and nonuniform EBIC lineshape for excitations in the depletion region. Motivated by this, we present a model of the EBIC response for excitations in the depletion region which includes the effects of surface recombination from both charge-neutral and charged surfaces. For neutral surfaces we present a simple analytical formula which describes the numerical data well, while the charged surface response depends qualitatively on the location of the surface Fermi level relative to the bulk Fermi level. We find the experimental data on FIB-prepared Si solar cells is most consistent with a charged surface, and discuss the implications for EBIC experiments on polycrystalline materials.

description: Η παρούσα εργασία αποτελεί μία προσπάθεια προσέγγισης ενός σπουδαίου πνευματικού ανθρώπου, του Μεθοδίου Ανθρακίτη. Απώτερος σκοπός της είναι η μελέτη του βίου, αλλά κυρίως, του έργου αυτού του σημαντικού δασκάλου του Γένους. Ειδικότερα, ο Ανθρακίτης συνιστά μια περίπτωση ιερωμένου που δραστηριοποιήθηκε στον ελληνικό χώρο με τη μετάδοση των γνώσεων και των πνευματικών του ιδεών στους σπουδαστές του. Αποτελώντας έναν εκπρόσωπο του ελληνικού Διαφωτισμού, προσπάθησε να αφυπνίσει τις ελληνικές συνειδήσεις μέσω των γραμμάτων και των αντιλήψεων της ορθόδοξης χριστιανικής παράδοσης. Ο διδάσκαλος του Γένους δημιούργησε μία προσωπική φιλοσοφική προσέγγιση, απαλλαγμένη από τη σχολαστική μορφή της αριστοτελικής φιλοσοφικής σκέψης.
description: The present work is an attempt to approach a great spiritual man, Methodius Anthracite. Its ultimate goal is the study of biography, but mainly, the study of the work of this important teacher of the Genus. Particularly, Methodius is a case of a priest who was active in Hellas and tried to provide his knowledge and spiritual ideas to his pupils. Being a representative of the Greek Enlightenment, he tried to awaken the general conscience in Greece through the letters and perceptions of the Orthodox Christian tradition. The genus’ teacher created his own philosophical approach, free from the meticulous form of Aristotelian philosophical thought.

description: We study the class $\mathcal{M}$ of functions meromorphic outside a countable closed set of essential singularities. We show that if a function in $\mathcal{M}$, with at least one essential singularity, permutes with a non-constant rational map $g$, then $g$ is a Möbius map that is not conjugate to an irrational rotation. For a given function $ f \in\mathcal{M}$ which is not a Möbius map, we show that the set of functions in $\mathcal{M}$ that permute with $ f $ is countably infinite. Finally, we show that there exist transcendental meromorphic functions $f: \mathbb{C} \to \mathbb{C}$ such that, among functions meromorphic in the plane, $f$ permutes only with itself and with the identity map.

Rotating charged fluids: Theorems and results for Weyl-type systems

description: We perform a systematic study of rotating charged fluids, and extend several well known theorems regarding static Weyl-type systems which were recently compiled by Lemos and Zanchin [Phys. Rev. D 80, 024010 (2009)] to rotating and axisymmetric systems. Static Weyl-type systems are composed by static charged fluid configurations obeying the Newton-Maxwell or the Einstein-Maxwell systems of equations in which the electric potential $ϕ$ and the timelike metric potential $g_{tt}\equiv - W^ 2$ satisfy the Weyl hypothesis, i.e., $W=W(ϕ)$. In the present analysis, both the Newton-Maxwell and Einstein-Maxwell theories that describe non-relativistic and relativistic systems, respectively, are used to perform a detailed analysis of the general properties of rotating charged fluids rotating charged dust as well as rotating charged fluids with pressure in four-dimensional spacetimes. In comparison to the static (nonrotating) systems, two additional potentials, a metric potential related to rotation and an electromagnetic potential related to the magnetic field, come into play for rotating systems. In each case, constraints between the fluid quantities and the metric and electromagnetic potentials are identified in order to generalize the theorems holding for static charged systems to rotating charged systems. New theorems regarding equilibrium configurations with differential rotation in both the Newtonian and the relativistic theories are stated and proved. For rigidly rotating charged fluids in the Einstein-Maxwell theory, a new ansatz involving the gradient of the metric potentials and the gradient of the electromagnetic potentials is considered in order to prove new theorems. Such an ansatz leads to new constraints between the fluid quantities and field potentials, so implying new equations of state for the charged fluids.

description: We have studied equipotential surfaces of a thick accretion disk around a Casadio-Fabbri-Mazzacurati (CFM) compact object in the brane-world scenario, which owns a mass parameter together with a parameterized post-newtonian (PPN) parameter. With the increase of the PPN parameter, the size of the thick accretion disk decreases, but the corresponding Roche lobe size increases. Thus, the larger PPN parameter yields the larger region of existing bound disk structures where the fluid is not accreted into the central wormhole. Moreover, with the increase of the PPN parameter, the position of the Roche lobe gradually moves away from the central compact object, the thickness of the region enclosed by the Roche lobe decreases near the compact object, but increases in the region far from the compact object. Our results also show that the pressure gradient in the disk decreases with the PPN parameter. These effects of the PPN parameter on thick accretion disk could help to further understand compact objects in brane-world scenario.

description: The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has revealed extremely distant galaxies at unprecedentedly early cosmic epochs from its deep imaging using the technique of photometric redshift estimation, with its subsequent spectroscopy confirming their redshifts unambiguously, demonstrating the ability of JWST to probe the earliest galaxies, one of its major scientific goals. However, as larger samples continue to be followed up spectroscopically, it has become apparent that nearly all photometric redshifts at these epochs are biased high with confidence >>99%, for as yet unclear reasons. Here we show that this is the same statistical effect that was predicted in different contexts by Sir Arthur Eddington in 1913, in that there exist more lower redshift galaxies to be scattered upwards than the reverse. The bias depends on the shape of the intrinsic redshift distribution, but as an approximate heuristic, all ultra-high photometric redshift estimates must be corrected downwards by up to one standard deviation.

description: We investigate the four-derivative free Weyl action for two-column mixed-symmetry field that makes use of maximal gauge symmetries. In flat space, the action can be uniquely determined from gauge and Weyl (trace shift) symmetry requirements. We show that there is a smooth and unique deformation of the flat action to (A)dS which keeps the same amount of gauge symmetries. This action admits a factorization into two distinct two-derivative actions having gauge parameters of different Young diagrams. Hence, this factorization pattern naturally extends that of the Weyl actions of symmetric higher spin fields to mixed-symmetry cases. The mass-deformation for these actions can be realized preserving one of the gauge symmetries. Although generically non-unitary, in special dimensions, unitarity is achieved selecting different mass deformations for dS and AdS. We consider particular examples of our construction such as New Massive Gravity in three dimensions, linearized bigravity in four dimensions and their arbitrary dimensional generalizations.

description: Massive black holes (MBHs) are crucial in shaping their host galaxies. How the MBH co-evolves with its host galaxy is a pressing problem in astrophysics and cosmology. The valuable information carried by the binary MBH is encoded in the gravitational waves (GWs), which will be detectable by the space-borne GW detector LISA. In the GW data analysis, usually, only the dominant $(2,2)$ mode of the GW signal is considered in the parameter estimation for LISA. However, including the higher harmonics in parameter estimation can break the degeneracy between the parameters, especially for the inclination angle and luminosity distance. This may enable the identification of GW signals without electromagnetic counterparts, known as ''dark sirens''. Thus, incorporating higher harmonics will be beneficial to resolve the Hubble tension and constrain the cosmological model. In this paper, we investigate the role of higher harmonics in the parameter estimation for GWs emitted by binary MBHs. We demonstrate that including $(3,3)$ mode can lead to a $10^3$-times improvement in angular resolution and a $10^4$-times improvement in luminosity distance. Meanwhile, our results indicate that considering higher harmonics increases the probability of identifying over 70% host galaxies from $10^{-2}\,\rm{Gpc}^3$ cosmological volume threshold (corresponding $10^5$ host galaxies), while the probability less than 8% for only the $(2,2)$ mode. Thus, our results underscore the importance of including higher modes in the GW signal from binary MBHs, for LISA at least $(3,3)$ mode.

description: We study the entanglement entropy and entanglement spectrum of the paradigmatic Bose-Hubbard model, describing strongly correlated bosons on a lattice. The use of a controlled approximation - the slave-boson approach - allows us to study entanglement in all regimes of the model (and, most importantly, across its superfluid/Mott-insulator transition) at a minimal cost. We find that the area-law scaling of entanglement -- verified in all the phases -- exhibits a sharp singularity at the transition. The singularity is greatly enhanced when the transition is crossed at fixed, integer filling, due to a richer entanglement spectrum containing an additional gapless mode, which descends from the amplitude (Higgs) mode of the global excitation spectrum -- while this mode remains gapped at the generic (commensurate-incommensurate) transition with variable filling. Hence the entanglement properties contain a unique signature of the two different forms of bosonic criticality exhibited by the Bose-Hubbard model.

description: We investigate the mechanisms behind the quasi-periodic outbursts on the Covid-19 epidemics. Data for France and Germany show that the patterns of outbursts exhibit a qualitative change in early 2022, which appears in a change in their average period, and which is confirmed by time-frequency analysis. This provides a signal which can be used to discriminate among several mechanisms. Two main ideas have been proposed to explain periodicity in epidemics. One involves memory effects and another considers exchanges between epidemic clusters and a reservoir of population. We test these two approaches in the particular case of the Covid-19 epidemics and show that the "cluster model" is the only one which appears to be able to explain the observed pattern with realistic parameters. A last section discusses our results in the context of early studies of epidemics, and we stress the importance to work with models with a limited number of parameters, which moreover can be sufficiently well estimated, to draw conclusions on the general mechanisms behind the observations.
Can photonic crystals be homogenized in higher bands?

Year: 2015

description: We consider conditions under which photonic crystals (PCs) can be homogenized in the higher photonic bands and, in particular, near the $Γ$-point. By homogenization we mean introducing some effective local parameters $ε_{\rm eff}$ and $μ_{\rm eff}$ that describe reflection, refraction and propagation of electromagnetic waves in the PC adequately. The parameters $ε_{\rm eff}$ and $μ_{\rm eff}$ can be associated with a hypothetical homogeneous effective medium. In particular, if the PC is homogenizable, the dispersion relations and isofrequency lines in the effective medium and in the PC should coincide to some level of approximation. We can view this requirement as a necessary condition of homogenizability. In the vicinity of a $Γ$-point, real isofrequency lines of two-dimensional PCs can be close to mathematical circles, just like in the case of isotropic homogeneous materials. Thus, one may be tempted to conclude that introduction of an effective medium is possible and, at least, the necessary condition of homogenizability holds in this case. We, however, show that this conclusion is incorrect: complex dispersion points must be included into consideration even in the case of strictly non-absorbing materials. By analyzing the complex dispersion relations and the corresponding isofrequency lines, we have found that two-dimensional PCs with $C_4$ and $C_6$ symmetries are not homogenizable in the higher photonic bands. We also draw a distinction between spurious $Γ$-point frequencies that are due to Brillouin-zone folding of Bloch bands and "true" $Γ$-point frequencies that are due to multiple scattering. Understanding of the physically different phenomena that lead to the appearance of spurious and "true" $Γ$-point frequencies is important for the theory of homogenization.

description: The nonlinear theory of Landau damping of electrostatic wave envelopes (WEs) is revisited in a quantum electron-positron (EP) pair plasma. Starting from a Wigner-Moyal equation coupled to the Poisson equation and applying the multiple scale technique, we derive a nonlinear Schr{ö}dinger (NLS) equation which governs the evolution of electrostatic WEs. It is shown that the coefficients of the NLS equation, including the nonlocal nonlinear term, which appears due to the resonant particles having group velocity of the WEs, are significantly modified by the particle dispersion. The effects of the quantum parameter $H$ (the ratio of the plasmon energy to the thermal energy densities), associated with the particle dispersion, are examined on the Landau damping rate of carrier waves, as well as on the modulational instability of WEs. It is found that the Landau damping rate and the decay rate of the solitary wave amplitude are greatly reduced compared to their classical values $(H=0)$.

description: A new scalar boson which couples to the muon and proton can simultaneously solve the proton radius puzzle and the muon anomalous magnetic moment discrepancy. Using a variety of measurements, we constrain the mass of this scalar and its couplings to the electron, muon, neutron, and proton. Making no assumptions about the underlying model, these constraints and the requirement that it solve both problems limit the mass of the scalar to between about 100 keV and 100 MeV. We identify two unexplored regions in the coupling constant-mass plane. Potential future experiments and their implications for theories with mass-weighted lepton couplings are discussed.

description: We use a top-down holographic model for strongly interacting quark matter to study the properties of neutron stars. When the corresponding Equation of State (EoS) is matched with state-of-the-art results for dense nuclear matter, we consistently observe a first order phase transition at densities between two and seven times the nuclear saturation density. Solving the Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkov equations with the resulting hybrid EoSs, we find maximal stellar masses in the excess of two solar masses, albeit somewhat smaller than those obtained with simple extrapolations of the nuclear matter EoSs. Our calculation predicts that no quark matter exists inside neutron stars.

description: Developers often refactor source code to improve its quality during software development. A challenge in refactoring is to determine if it can be applied or not. To help with this decision-making process, we aim to search for past refactoring cases that are similar to the current refactoring scenario. We have designed and implemented a system called RefSearch that enables users to search for refactoring cases through a user-friendly query language. The system collects refactoring instances using two refactoring detectors and provides a web interface for querying and browsing the cases. We used four refactoring scenarios as test cases to evaluate the expressiveness of the query language and the search performance of the system.

description: The Sophon SG2042 is the world's first commodity 64-core RISC-V CPU for high performance workloads and an important question is whether the SG2042 has the potential to encourage the HPC community to embrace RISC-V. In this paper we undertaking a performance exploration of the SG2042 against existing RISC-V hardware and high performance x86 CPUs in use by modern supercomputers. Leveraging the RAJAPerf benchmarking suite, we discover that on average, the SG2042 delivers, per core, between five and ten times the performance compared to the nearest widely available RISC-V hardware. We found that, on average, the x86 high performance CPUs under test outperform the SG2042 by between four and eight times for multi-threaded workloads, although some individual kernels do perform faster on the SG2042. The result of this work is a performance study that not only contrasts this new RISC-V CPU against existing technologies, but furthermore shares performance best practice.

description: We study the $Y(4260)$ production mechanism in $e^+e^-$ annihilations in the framework of hadronic molecules and investigate the consequence of such a picture in different decay channels. In the hadronic molecule picture the $Y(4260)$ is described as a mixture state composed of a long-ranged $\bar{D}D_1(2420)+c.c.$ molecule state and a compact $c\bar{c}$ component. We show that the compositeness relation can still provide a reasonable constraint on the wavefunction renormalization parameter due to the dominance of the molecular component. Such a mechanism can be regarded as a natural consequence of the heavy quark spin symmetry (HQSS) breaking. This study elaborates the molecular picture for the $Y(4260)$ in the $e^+e^-$ annihilations and affirms that the cross section lineshape of $e^+e^-\to \bar{D}D^*π+c.c.$ in the vicinity of the $Y(4260)$ should have a nontrivial behavior. In this framework we predict that the upper limit of the $Y(4260)$ leptonic decay width is about 500 eV. We also investigate the coupling for $D_1(2420)\to D^*π$ in the $^3P_0$ quark model and examine the possible HQSS breaking effects due to the deviation from the $|^1P_1\rangle$ and $|^3P_1\rangle$ ideal mixing. This will in turn provide a constraint on the HQSS breaking coupling for the $Y(4260)$ to $\bar{D}D_1(2420)+c.c.$ via its $c\bar{c}$ component.

description: In this paper, we investigate the nonprincipal axis (NPA) rotational state of 1I/`Oumuamua -- the first interstellar object discovered traversing the inner Solar System -- from its photometric light curve. Building upon Mashchenko (2019), we develop a model which incorporates NPA rotation and {Sun-induced, time-varying} outgassing torques to generate synthetic light curves of the object. The model neglects tidal forces, which are negligible compared to outgassing torques over the distances that `Oumuamua was observed. We implement an optimization scheme that incorporates the NPA rotation model to calculate the initial rotation state of the object. We find that an NPA rotation state with an average period of $\langle P \rangle\simeq7.34$ hr best reproduces the photometric data. The discrepancy between this period and previous estimates is due to continuous period modulation induced by outgassing torques in the rotational model, {as well as different periods being used}. The best fit to the October 2017 data does not reproduce the November 2017 data (although the later measurements are too sparse to fit). The light curve is consistent with no secular evolution of the angular momentum, somewhat in tension with the empirical correlations between nuclear spin-up and cometary outgassing. The complex rotation of `Oumuamua may be {the result of primordial rotation about the smallest principal axis} if (i) the object experienced hypervolatile outgassing and (ii) our idealized outgassing model is accurate.

description: We study rare four-body decays of the Z-boson involving at least one neutrino and one charged lepton. Large destructive interferences make these decays very sensitive to the Z couplings to neutrinos. As the identified charged leptons can determine the neutrino flavors, these decays probe the universality of the Z couplings to neutrinos. The rare four-body processes could be accurately measured at future lepton colliders, leading to percent level precision.

description: Vericiguat is a soluble guanylate cyclase stimulator. The pharmacokinetics, absorption, metabolism, and excretion properties of vericiguat in rats and dogs and the distribution in rats are reported. [14C]-labelled vericiguat was studied in intact and bile duct-cannulated rats (oral and intravenous administration), and dogs (oral administration).Vericiguat reached maximum plasma concentrations at 1–3 h after oral administration. Absolute bioavailability was moderate in rats and high in dogs. Vericiguat was the most abundant component in plasma of rats and dogs.After oral administration to rats, radioactivity was widely distributed. Penetration into the brain was minimal. Elimination was rapid from most tissues in rats. Most of the radioactivity was excreted in faeces (rat: 81%, dog: 89%), while low amounts were excreted in urine (rat: 11%, dog: 4%). Clearance routes in both species were unchanged excretion and metabolism via glucuronidation and oxidative reactions. After intravenous administration to bile duct-cannulated rats, a relevant proportion of the dose (30%) underwent direct excretion into the gastrointestinal tract as unchanged vericiguat.

description: In his pioneering work on negative specific heat, Walter Thirring in\-tro\-duced a model that is solvable in the microcanonical ensemble. Here, we give a complete description of the phase-diagram of this model in both the microcanonical and the canonical ensemble, highlighting the main features of ensemble inequivalence. In both ensembles, we find a line of first-order phase transitions which ends in a critical point. However, neither the line nor the point have the same location in the phase-diagram of the two ensembles. We also show that the microcanonical and canonical critical points can be analytically related to each other using a Landau expansion of entropy and free energy, respectively, in analogy with what has been done in [O. Cohen, D. Mukamel, J. Stat. Mech., P12017 (2012)]. Examples of systems with certain symmetries restricting the Landau expansion have been considered in this reference, while no such restrictions are present in Thirring's model. This leads to a phase diagram that can be seen as a prototype for what happens in systems of particles with kinematic degrees of freedom dominated by long-range interactions.

description: Information visualization and natural language are intricately linked. However, the majority of research and relevant work in information and data visualization (and human-computer interaction) involve English-speaking populations as both researchers and participants, are published in English, and are presented predominantly at English-speaking venues. Although several solutions can be proposed such as translating English texts in visualization to other languages, there is little research that looks at the intersection of data visualization and different languages, and the implications that current visualization practices have on non-English speaking communities. In this position paper, we argue that linguistically diverse communities abound beyond the English-speaking world and offer a richness of experiences for the visualization research community to engage with. Through a case study of how two non-English languages interplay with data visualization reasoning in Madagascar, we describe how monolingualism in data visualization impacts the experiences of underrepresented populations and emphasize potential harm to these communities. Lastly, we raise several questions towards advocating for more inclusive visualization practices that center the diverse experiences of linguistically underrepresented populations.

description: 1. Pomegranate peel polyphenols (PPPs) have anti-oxidation, anti-atherosclerosis, anti-obesity effects, and so on. However, few studies have been conducted on the absorption and transformation of pomegranate polyphenols in the gut and the biologically active forms that ultimately work in the body. 2. In this study, PPPs (300 mg/kg/day) was given to normal rats and relatively sterile rats by gavage respectively. The relatively sterile rats were obtained by neomycin sulphate (250 mg/kg/day) gavage to rats. The purpose of this study is to elaborate on the relationship between intestinal flora and polyphenol metabolism of pomegranate peel and to quantitatively analyse the transformation process of its metabolite urolithin in rats. 3. The results showed that decreased bacterial diversity could significantly reduce the abundance of PPPs metabolites in faeces and urine in relatively sterile rats. PPPs can regulate intestinal flora structure, significantly enhance the content of Clostrida Firmicutes (P < 0.05), and effectively promote acetic acid, propionic acid, butyric acid, iso-butyric acid and valeric acid production in the rat (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01 or P < 0.001). PPPs can significantly elevate the relative proportion of Ruminococcaceae (P < 0.05). Ruminococcaceae_NK4A214_group, Ruminococcaceae_UCG-014 and Ruminococcaceae_UCG-005 can promote the metabolic transformation of PPPs and make the utilisation of Urolithin A more effective.
