Thermodynamic Explanation for the Cosmic Ubiquity of Organic Pigments

description: There is increasingly more evidence being accumulated for the occurrence of large amounts of organic material in the cosmos, particularly in the form of aromatic compounds. These molecules can be found on the surface of Earth and Mars, in the atmospheres of the larger planets and on many of their satellites, on asteroids, comets, meteorites, the atmospheres of red giant stars, interstellar nebulae, and in the spiral arms of galaxies. Many of these environments are expected to be of low temperature and pressure, implying that the Gibbs free energy for the formation of these complex molecules should be positive and large, suggesting that their existence could only be attributed to non-equilibrium thermodynamic processes. In this article we first review the evidence for the abundance of these molecules in the cosmos and then describe how the ubiquity can be explained from within the framework of non-equilibrium thermodynamics on the basis of the catalytic properties of these pigment molecules in dissipating photons of the ultraviolet and visible emission spectra of neighboring stars, leading to greater local entropy production. A relation between the maximum wavelength of absorption of these organic pigments and the corresponding stellar photon environment, provides a guide to determining which aromatic compounds are most probable in a given stellar neighborhood, a postulate that can be verified on Earth. It is suggested that at least some of the baryonic dark matter may be associated with these molecules which emit in the extreme infrared with many, but weak, emission lines, thus so far escaping detection. This thermodynamic explanation for the ubiquity of these organic molecules also has relevance to the possibility of life, both as we know it, and as we may not know it, throughout the universe.

description: Integrable spin systems are an important subclass of integrable (soliton) nonlinear equations. They play important role in physics and mathematics. At present, many integrable spin systems were found and studied. They are related with the motion of 3-dimensional curves. In this paper, we consider a model of two moving interacting curves. Next, we find its integrable reduction related with some integrable coupled spin system. Then we show that this integrable coupled spin system is equivalent to the famous Manakov system.

description: We study the effects produced by sterile Majorana neutrinos on the $ν_τ$ flux traversing the Earth, considering the interaction between the Majorana neutrinos and the standard matter as modeled by an effective theory. The surviving tau-neutrino flux is calculated using transport equations including Majorana neutrino production and decay. We compare our results with the pure Standard Model interactions, computing the surviving flux for different values of the effective lagrangian couplings, considering the detected flux by IceCube for an operation time of ten years, and Majorana neutrinos with mass $m_N \thicksim m_τ$.

description: The objective of our experiment was to study the effect of mineral fertilizers, rich mainly in the K, Mg and S content, and compare their effect on grain yield and protein content of winter wheat and winter barley with fertilizer treatments without these elements. The analyzed fertilizer treatments were 1) Control, 2) mineral nitrogen treatment (N), 3) mineral nitrogen with phosphorus (NP), 4) NP with potassium, magnesium, and sulphur (NP+KMgS), and 5) NP with magnesium, sulphur and minor part of manganese (4%) and zinc (1%) (NP+MgSMnZn). The experiment was established in Lukavec experimental station (the Czech Republic) in 2013 and lasted until 2017. The crop rotation consisted of four arable crops: winter wheat, winter barley, rapeseed, and potatoes, but only winter wheat and winter barley are analyzed in this paper (grain yields and crude protein content). In comparison with the Control, the application of mineral fertilizers significantly increased grain yield and protein content of both kinds of cereal. Comparing mineral fertilizers, no significant differences were recorded between N, NP, NP+KMgS and NP+MgSMnZn treatments, showing that nitrogen was the most limiting factor affecting yield and protein content, and initial concentrations of K and Mg were suitable and capable to cover cereal’s demands. However, application of fertilizers has increased the K and Mg soil content and thus prevents the soil from the element’s deficiency, which does not has to be recognized in the early stages by visual observation of arable plants. The effect of the year was also significant as two out of four seasons were characterized by high temperatures and drought.

Stabilization of the chiral phase of the SU($6m$) Heisenberg model on the honeycomb lattice with $m$ particles per site for $m$ larger than 1

description: We show that, when $N$ is a multiple of 6 ($N=6m$, $m$ integer), the \SU{N} Heisenberg model on the honeycomb lattice with $m$ particles per site has a clear tendency toward chiral order as soon as $m\geq 2$. This conclusion has been reached by a systematic variational Monte Carlo investigation of Gutzwiller projected wave-functions as a function of $m$ between the case of one particle per site ($m=1$), for which the ground state has recently been shown to be in a plaquette singlet state, and the $m\rightarrow \infty$ limit, where a mean-field approach has established that the ground state has chiral order. This demonstrates that the chiral phase can indeed be stabilized for not too large values of $m$, opening the way to its experimental realisations in other lattices.

description: We study the dynamics of the out-of-equilibrium nonlinear q-voter model with two types of susceptible voters and zealots, introduced in [EPL 113, 48001 (2016)]. In this model, each individual supports one of two parties and is either a susceptible voter of type $q_1$ or $q_2$, or is an inflexible zealot. At each time step, a $q_i$-susceptible voter ($i = 1,2$) consults a group of $q_i$ neighbors and adopts their opinion if all group members agree, while zealots are inflexible and never change their opinion. This model violates detailed balance whenever $q_1 \neq q_2$ and is characterized by two distinct regimes of low and high density of zealotry. Here, by combining analytical and numerical methods, we investigate the non-equilibrium stationary state of the system in terms of its probability distribution, non-vanishing currents and unequal-time two-point correlation functions. We also study the switching times properties of the model by exploiting an approximate mapping onto the model of [Phys. Rev. E 92, 012803 (2015)] that satisfies the detailed balance, and also outline some properties of the model near criticality.

description: While additive manufacturing (AM) enables the production of versatile optical components, the limited knowledge of manufacturing processes makes the development of accurate simulation tools and evaluation criteria challenging. In this work, we present a novel approach to address the specific challenges in the AM of optics by designing and fabricating freeform probe lenses for Raman Spectroscopy (RS) using the Multi-Jet Modeling (MJM) printing process. We successfully integrate the lenses into an RS system and demonstrate their performance in detecting melamine with a maximum signal-to-noise ratio of 164[Formula presented]. We outline the capabilities and limitations of the AM process and adapt simulations to reveal the potential impact of manufacturing tolerances and diffraction effects on layered optical components. Based on our results, we highlight the potential to develop novel design standards for the AM of optics, providing a platform for further exploration and investigation.

description: We have searched for the signature of cosmic voids in the CMB, in both the Planck temperature and lensing-convergence maps; voids should give decrements in both. We use zobov voids from the DR12 SDSS CMASS galaxy sample. We base our analysis on N-body simulations, to avoid a posteriori bias. For the first time, we detect the signature of voids in CMB lensing: the significance is $3.2σ$, close to $Λ$CDM in both amplitude and projected density-profile shape. A temperature dip is also seen, at modest significance ($2.3σ$), with amplitude about 6 times the prediction. This temperature signal is induced mostly by voids with radius between 100 and 150 Mpc/h, while the lensing signal is mostly contributed by smaller voids -- as expected; lensing relates directly to density, while ISW depends on gravitational potential. The void abundance in observations and simulations agree, as well. We also repeated the analysis excluding lower-significance voids: no lensing signal is detected, with an upper limit of about twice the $Λ$CDM prediction. But the mean temperature decrement now becomes non-zero at the $3.7σ$ level (similar to that found by Granett et al.), with amplitude about 20 times the prediction. However, the observed dependence of temperature on void size is in poor agreement with simulations, whereas the lensing results are consistent with $Λ$CDM theory. Thus, the overall tension between theory and observations does not favour non-standard theories of gravity, despite the hints of an enhanced amplitude for the ISW effect from voids.

description: The number of lunar missions involving the deployment of probes, rovers and other equipment is expected to raise significantly. Some of these missions will face the challenge to survive the night on the Moon, with very low temperatures on the surface. Solar thermal energy can be stored during the day and transformed into electricity at night. We present a study of the performance of thermoelectric modules. Some of the modules are used in simulations of a thermal energy storage system, which includes the test of different materials as a thermal mass. The power generated in all the cases is obtained.

description: Nucleation processes are at the heart of a large number of phenomena, from cloud formation to protein crystallization. A recently emerging area where nucleation is highly relevant is the initiation of filamentous protein self-assembly, a process that has broad implications from medicine to nanotechnology. As such, spontaneous nucleation of protein fibrils has received much attention in recent years with many theoretical and experimental studies focussing on the underlying physical principles. In this paper we make a step forward in this direction and explore the early time behaviour of filamentous protein growth in the context of nucleation theory. We first provide an overview of the thermodynamics and kinetics of spontaneous nucleation of protein filaments in the presence of one relevant degree of freedom, namely the cluster size. In this case, we review how key kinetic observables, such as the reaction order of spontaneous nucleation, are directly related to the physical size of the critical nucleus. We then focus on the increasingly prominent case of filament nucleation that includes a conformational conversion of the nucleating building-block as an additional slow step in the nucleation process. Using computer simulations, we study the concentration dependence of the nucleation rate. We find that, under these circumstances, the reaction order of spontaneous nucleation with respect to the free monomer does no longer relate to the overall physical size of the nucleating aggregate but rather to the portion of the aggregate that actively participates in the conformational conversion. Our results thus provide a novel interpretation of the common kinetic descriptors of protein filament formation, including the reaction order of the nucleation step or the scaling exponent of lag times, and put into perspective current theoretical descriptions of protein aggregation.

description: We extend a recently introduced free-energy formalism for homogeneous Fokker-Planck equations to a wide, and physically appealing, class of inhomogeneous nonlinear Fokker-Planck equations. In our approach, the free-energy functional is expressed in terms of an entropic functional and an auxiliary potential, both derived from the coefficients of the equation. With reference to the introduced entropic functional, we discuss the entropy production in a relaxation process towards equilibrium. The properties of the stationary solutions of the considered Fokker-Planck equations are also discussed.

description: In this work, we present a consistent Hamiltonian analysis of cosmological perturbations for generalized non-canonical scalar fields. In order to do so, we introduce a new phase-space variable that is uniquely defined for different non-canonical scalar fields. We also show that this is the simplest and efficient way of expressing the Hamiltonian. We extend the Hamiltonian approach of [arXiv:1512.02539] to non-canonical scalar field and obtain a new definition of speed of sound in phase-space. In order to invert generalized phase-space Hamilton's equations to Euler-Lagrange equations of motion, we prescribe a general inversion formulae and show that our approach for non-canonical scalar field is consistent. We also obtain the third and fourth order interaction Hamiltonian for generalized non-canonical scalar fields and briefly discuss the extension of our method to generalized Galilean scalar fields.

Year: 2023

description: Time-sharing Experiments for the Social Sciences (TESS) offers researchers the opportunity to capture the internal validity of experiments. Investigators submit proposals, and TESS fields successful proposals for free on a representative sample of adults in the United States. This experiment was conducted to explore the influence of political affiliation on perceivers’ inferences about another’s goals and values, and perceivers’ choices about social contact. Respondents were randomly assigned to answer one of five question sets within a causal-chain design. A total of 2,013 respondents participated. Respondents in groups 1, 2, and 3 were asked to rate how influential another’s membership in a particular social category is in their own desire for a social relationship with that person, the person’s values, or the person’s goals, respectively. Respondents in groups 4 and 5 were asked to rate how influential personal characteristics are to a person’s goals or the respondent’s desire to for a social relationship with another, respectively. This allowed for assessment of how political affiliation influences perceptions of another’s character compared to job/career or religion.
title: Older Men's Experiences of Moving Into Residential Care
Creators: name: Weighell, Simon
Publisher: name: The University of East London
Year: 2015

description: Research examining the transition into residential aged care suggests that it can have a significant psychological and physiological impact upon older adults. There is a dearth of research examining the specific experiences of older men moving into and living in residential aged care. Older men may be at a significant disadvantage in managing the transition into care, particularly in context to; institutional living often characterised by increased dependency and a loss of control; physical disability and frailty; a feminised environment; and difficulties establishing supportive relationships. This study sought to explore the experiences of men who have moved into a ‘residential care home’. This is paramount for understanding the needs of this group and attending to gaps in the literature.
Eight care home residents were interviewed with regards to their experiences of moving into a care home. A thematic analysis of these interviews was constructed. Four themes were found: ‘Different roads same destination’, ‘The systems (at) work’, ‘Making it easier’, and ‘It’s harder to connect’.
The analysis indicated that older men seek social support and intimacy in care but are prevented from meeting their needs because of individual and systemic barriers. Older men may use a distinct type of acceptance that is influenced by their cohort specific experiences to help them get used to institutional living. The thesis concludes with consideration of the wider professional and research implications.

description: We show how a simple calculation leads to the surprising result that an excited two-level atom moving through vacuum sees a tiny friction force of first order in v/c. At first sight this seems to be in obvious contradiction to other calculations showing that the interaction with the vacuum does not change the velocity of an atom. It is yet more surprising that this change in the atom's momentum turns out to be a necessary result of energy and momentum conservation in special relativity.

description: Stance detection is the task of classifying the attitude expressed in a text towards a target such as Hillary Clinton to be "positive", negative" or "neutral". Previous work has assumed that either the target is mentioned in the text or that training data for every target is given. This paper considers the more challenging version of this task, where targets are not always mentioned and no training data is available for the test targets. We experiment with conditional LSTM encoding, which builds a representation of the tweet that is dependent on the target, and demonstrate that it outperforms encoding the tweet and the target independently. Performance is improved further when the conditional model is augmented with bidirectional encoding. We evaluate our approach on the SemEval 2016 Task 6 Twitter Stance Detection corpus achieving performance second best only to a system trained on semi-automatically labelled tweets for the test target. When such weak supervision is added, our approach achieves state-of-the-art results.

description: We demonstrate coincidence measurements of spatially entangled photons by means of a novel type of multi-pixel based detection array. The adopted sensor is a fully digital 8$\times$16 silicon photomultiplier array allowing not only photon counting but also per-pixel time stamping of the arrived photons with a resolution of 65 ps. Together with a frame rate of 500 kfps, this property exceeds the capabilities of conventional charge-coupled device cameras which have become of growing interest for the detection of transversely correlated photon pairs. The sensor is used to measure a second-order correlation function for various non-collinear configurations of entangled photons generated by spontaneous parametric down-conversion. The experimental results are compared to theory.

description: We exhibit a Boolean function for which the quantum communication complexity is exponentially larger than the classical information complexity. An exponential separation in the other direction was already known from the work of Kerenidis et. al. [SICOMP 44, pp. 1550-1572], hence our work implies that these two complexity measures are incomparable. As classical information complexity is an upper bound on quantum information complexity, which in turn is equal to amortized quantum communication complexity, our work implies that a tight direct sum result for distributional quantum communication complexity cannot hold. The function we use to present such a separation is the Symmetric k-ary Pointer Jumping function introduced by Rao and Sinha [ECCC TR15-057], whose classical communication complexity is exponentially larger than its classical information complexity. In this paper, we show that the quantum communication complexity of this function is polynomially equivalent to its classical communication complexity. The high-level idea behind our proof is arguably the simplest so far for such an exponential separation between information and communication, driven by a sequence of round-elimination arguments, allowing us to simplify further the approach of Rao and Sinha. As another application of the techniques that we develop, we give a simple proof for an optimal trade-off between Alice's and Bob's communication while computing the related Greater-Than function on n bits: say Bob communicates at most b bits, then Alice must send n/exp(O(b)) bits to Bob. This holds even when allowing pre-shared entanglement. We also present a classical protocol achieving this bound.

description: Depuis 2019, le Baromètre de la Science Ouverte (BSO) permet de suivre l'évolution de l'ouverture des publications scientifiques et de mesurer l'efficacité des politiques publiques en la matière, telles qu'énoncées au sein du Plan National pour la Science Ouverte. Depuis 2020, ce sont également les établissements d'enseignement supérieur et de recherche qui peuvent suivre ces mêmes indicateurs au niveau local, suite à la publication du Baromètre lorrain de la Science Ouverte. La réalisation de BSO locaux est grandement facilitée depuis 2022, avec la mise à disposition par le MESR d'un outil de déclinaison native des indicateurs. Cette collaboration fructueuse entre UL et MESR a donné lieu à la mise en œuvre d'un projet également co-porté avec INRIA, qui vise à étendre ces indicateurs aux données de la recherche et codes logiciels. Ces nouveaux indicateurs ont également vocation à être déclinés au niveau des établissements, lesquels expriment leur fort intérêt pour ces développements au sein du Club utilisateur du BSO (lancé en mars 2022 par l'UL et le MESR, fort de 176 abonnés à ce jour).Notre proposition de poster porte donc sur les évolutions du BSO au fil des ans, avec l'ajout de nouveaux indicateurs (santé, données, logiciels et bientôt ORCID) et sur l'appropriation toujours plus grande par les établissements de cet outil grâce aux déclinaisons locales (près de 40 déjà recensées ici : https://barometredelascienceouverte.esr.gouv.fr/declinaisons/bso-locaux). Notre objectif est à la fois de présenter le travail accompli sur les nouveaux indicateurs, mais aussi d'inciter à l'utilisation de l'outil par les établissements.

description: We measure the sizes of redshift ~2 star-forming galaxies by stacking data from the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA). We use a uv-stacking algorithm in combination with model fitting in the uv-domain and show that this allows for robust measures of the sizes of marginally resolved sources. The analysis is primarily based on the 344 GHz ALMA continuum observations centred on 88 sub-millimeter galaxies in the LABOCA ECDFS Submillimeter Survey (ALESS). We study several samples of galaxies at z~2 with $M_* \sim{} 5\times{}10^{10} $ M$_\odot$ , selected using near-infrared photometry (distant red galaxies, extremely red objects, sBzK-galaxies, and galaxies selected on photometric redshift). We find that the typical sizes of these galaxies are ~0.6 arcsec which corresponds to ~5 kpc at z~2, this agrees well with the median sizes measured in the near-infrared z-band (~0.6 arcsec). We find errors on our size estimates of ~0.1-0.2 arcsec, which agree well with the expected errors for model fitting at the given signal-to-noise ratio. With the uv-coverage of our observations (18-160 m), the size and flux density measurements are sensitive to scales out to 2 . We compare this to a simulated ALMA Cycle 3 dataset with intermediate length baseline coverage, and we find that, using only these baselines, the measured stacked flux density would be an order of magnitude fainter. This highlights the importance of short baselines to recover the full flux density of high-redshift galaxies.

description: We report an implementation of the nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) shielding ($σ$), isotope-independent indirect spin-spin coupling ($K$) and the magnetizability ($ξ$) tensors in the frozen density embedding (FDE) scheme using the four-component (4c) relativistic Dirac--Coulomb (DC) Hamiltonian and the non-collinear spin density functional theory (SDFT). The formalism takes into account the magnetic balance between the large and the small components of molecular spinors and assures the gauge-origin independence of NMR shielding and magnetizability results. This implementation has been applied to hydrogen-bonded HXH$\cdots$OH$_2$ complexes (X = Se, Te, Po) and compared with the supermolecular calculations and with the approach based on the integration of the magnetically induced current density vector. A comparison with the approximate Zeroth-Order Regular Approximation (ZORA) Hamiltonian indicates non-negligible differences in $σ$ and $K$ in the HPoH$\cdots$OH$_2$ complex, and calls for a thourough comparison of ZORA and DC in the description of environment effects on NMR parameters for molecular systems with heavy elements.

description: Inspired by recent works on evolutionary graph theory, an area of growing interest in mathematical and computational biology, we present the first known examples of undirected structures acting as suppressors of selection for any fitness value $r > 1$. This means that the average fixation probability of an advantageous mutant or invader individual placed at some node is strictly less than that of this individual placed in a well-mixed population. This leads the way to study more robust structures less prone to invasion, contrary to what happens with the amplifiers of selection where the fixation probability is increased on average for advantageous invader individuals. A few families of amplifiers are known, although some effort was required to prove it. Here, we use computer aided techniques to find an exact analytical expression of the fixation probability for some graphs of small order (equal to $6$, $8$ and $10$) proving that selection is effectively reduced for $r > 1$. Some numerical experiments using Monte Carlo methods are also performed for larger graphs.

description: In this paper we investigate the problem of designing experiments for weighted least squares analysis in the Michaelis Menten model. We study the structure of exact D-optimal designs in a model with an autoregressive error structure. Explicit results for locally D-optimal are derived for the case where 2 observations can be taken per subject. Additionally standardized maximin D-optimal designs are obtained in this case. The results illustrate the enormous difficulties to find exact optimal designs explicitly for nonlinear regression models with correlated observations.

description: Young and rapidly rotating stars are known for intense, dynamo generated magnetic fields. Spectropolarimetric observations of those stars in precisely aged clusters are key input for gyrochronology and magnetochronology. We use ZDI maps of several young K-type stars of similar mass and radius but with various ages and rotational periods, to perform 3D numerical MHD simulations of their coronae and follow the evolution of their magnetic properties with age. Those simulations yield the coronal structure as well as the instant torque exerted by the magnetized, rotating wind on the star. As stars get older, we find that the angular momentum loss decreases with $Ω^3$, which is the reason for the convergence on the Skumanich law. For the youngest stars of our sample, the angular momentum loss show signs of saturation around $8Ω_{\odot}$, which is a common value used in spin evolution models for K-type stars. We compare these results to semi-analytical models and existing braking laws. We observe a complex wind speed distribution for the youngest stars with slow, intermediate and fast wind components, which are the result of the interaction with intense and non axisymmetric magnetic fields. Consequently, in our simulations, the stellar wind structure in the equatorial plane of young stars varies significantly from a solar configuration, delivering insight about the past of the solar system interplanetary medium.
