description: In a recent paper by Link, it was pointed out that the standard picture of the neutron star core composed of a mixture of a neutron superfluid and a proton type-II superconductor is inconsistent with observations of a long period precession in isolated pulsars. In the following we will show that an appropriate treatment of the interacting two-component superfluid (made of neutron and proton Cooper pairs), when the structure of proton vortices is strongly modified, may dramatically change the standard picture, resulting in a type-I superconductor. In this case the magnetic field is expelled from the superconducting regions of the neutron star leading to the formation of the intermediate state when alternating domains of superconducting matter and normal matter coexist.

description: The behavior in magnetic field of a paramagnetic center is characterized by its $g$ tensor. An anisotropic form of the latter implies different kind of response along different crystallographic directions. Here we shed light on the anisotropy of the $g$ tensor of Yb$^{3+}$ 4$f^{13}$ ions in NaYbS$_2$ and NaYbO$_2$, layered triangular-lattice materials suggested to host spin-liquid ground states. Using quantum chemical calculations we show that, even if the ligand-cage trigonal distortions are significant in these compounds, the crucial role in realizing strongly anisotropic, `noncubic' $g$ factors is played by inter-layer cation charge imbalance effects. The latter refer to the asymmetry experienced by a given Yb center due to having higher ionic charges at adjacent metal sites within the magnetic $ab$ layer, i.e., 3+ nearest neighbors within the ab plane versus 1+ species between the magnetic layers. According to our results, this should be a rather general feature of 4$f^{13}$ layered compounds: less inter-layer positive charge is associated with stronger in-plane magnetic response.

description: We study the dynamics of excitonic states in dimer and trimer arrangements of colloidal quantum dots using a density matrix approach. The dots are coupled via a dipole-dipole interaction akin to the Förster mechanism. Coherent oscillations of tuned donor dots are shown to appear as plateaus in the acceptor dot, and therefore in its optical response. This behavior provides one with an interesting and unique handle to monitor the quantum state of the dimer, an "eavesdroping arrangement." A trimer cluster in a symmetrical loop shows steady states in a shorter characteristic time than the typical radiative lifetime of the dots. Breaking the symmetry of the loop results again in damping oscillatory states in the donor dots and plateaus in the eavesdropping/acceptor dot. The use of realistic parameters allows direct comparison with recent experiments and indicates that coherent state monitoring is possible in real experiments.
Growth temperature dependence of partially Fe filled MWCNT using chemical vapor deposition

Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Materials Science (cond-mat.mtrl-sci)

description: This investigation deals with the effect of growth temperature on the growth behavior of Fe filled multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). Carbon nanotube (CNT) synthesis was carried out in a thermal chemical vapor deposition (CVD) reactor in the temperature range 650 to 950 1C using propane as the carbon source, Fe as the catalyst material, and Si as the catalyst support. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) analysis of the catalyst exhibits that at elevated temperature clusters of catalyst coalesce and form macroscopic islands. Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) results show that with increased growth temperature the average diameter of the nanotubes increases but their density decreases. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) studies suggest that the nanotubes have multi-walled structure with partial Fe filling for all growth temperatures. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern of the grown materials indicates that they are graphitic in nature. The characterization of nanotubes by Raman spectroscopy reveals that the optimized growth temperature for Fe filled CNTs is 850 1C, in terms of quality. A simple model for the growth of Fe filled carbon nanotubes is proposed.

description: The internal EJPSoil project SERENA contributed to the evaluation of soil multifunctionality aiming at providing assessment tools for land planning and soil policies at different scales. By co-working with relevant stakeholders, the project provided co-developed indicators and associated cookbooks to assess and map them, to report both on soil degradation, soil-based ecosystem services and their bundles, under actual conditions and for climate and land-use changes, at the regional, national, and European scales. 

In the current report (deliverable D3.2, version 1), the indicators, methods and data (including data availability) used by the countries participating in the SERENA project to assess specific soil threats and soil-based-ecosystem services were compared. Differences and similarities between the assessments of the different countries and the need for harmonisation were identified. The four soil threats considered are soil organic carbon loss, soil erosion, soil compaction, and soil sealing. The four soil-based ecosystem services included are greenhouse gas and climate regulation including carbon sequestration, hydrological control, primary/biomass production, and erosion control.

description: We present a photonic integrated circuit architecture for a quantum programmable gate array (QPGA) capable of preparing arbitrary quantum states and operators. The architecture consists of a lattice of phase-modulated Mach-Zehnder interferometers, which perform rotations on path-encoded photonic qubits, and embedded quantum emitters, which use a two-photon scattering process to implement a deterministic controlled-$σ_z$ operation between adjacent qubits. By appropriately setting phase shifts within the lattice, the device can be programmed to implement any quantum circuit without hardware modifications. We provide algorithms for exactly preparing arbitrary quantum states and operators on the device and we show that gradient-based optimization can train a simulated QPGA to automatically implement highly compact approximations to important quantum circuits with near-unity fidelity.

description: Contributing to a social cause can be an important driver for workers in the public and non-profit sector as well as in firms that engage in Corporate Social Responsibility activities. This paper compares the effectiveness of social incentives - that take the form of a donation received by a charity of the subject's choice - to financial incentives using an online real effort experiment. We find that social incentives lead to a 20% rise in productivity, regardless of their form (lump sum or related to performance) or strength. When subjects can choose the mix of incentives half sacrifice some of their private compensation to increase social compensation, with women more likely than men. Furthermore, social incentives do not attract less productive subjects, nor subjects that respond more to exogenously imposed social incentives. Our calculations suggest that in the context of our experiment a dollar spent on social incentives is equivalent to increasing private compensation by at least half a dollar.

description: A modification of an embedded-atom method (EAM)-type potential is proposed for a quantitative description of equilibrium and non-equilibrium properties of metal systems within the molecular-dynamics framework. The modification generalizes the previously developed linear correction to EAM-type potentials [Sushko et al., J. Phys.: Condens. Matter \textbf{28}, 145201 (2016)] and asymptotically approaches zero at large interatomic distances. A general procedure for constructing this modification is outlined and its relation to the linear correction is elaborated. To benchmark this procedure, we examine the melting phase transition and several equilibrium properties of nanosystems made of silver, gold, and titanium. The simulations performed with the modified potential predict higher bulk melting temperatures of the metals and agree better with experimental values as compared to the original EAM-type potential. Our results show that the modification works well for metals with both cubic and hexagonal crystalline lattices. The Gupta potential is chosen as an illustrative case study but the modification proposed is general and can be applied to other widely-used potentials of the EAM type.

description: Scalar implicatures, a type of pragmatic inference that relies on the evaluation of alternatives on a logical scale, have been extensively studied in the developmental literature, yet their developmental timeline remains hazy. Furthermore, debates continue over the contributions that potential supporting factors, such as Theory of Mind, executive functions, and language, make to the scalar implicature derivation process in adulthood and during development. We present a novel approach to address these issues: we tested 4- and 5-year-old children (majority white with college-educated mothers and slightly higher than average SES) and adults (undergraduate students) on scalar implicature and theory of mind tasks using spatial neuroimaging techniques (fNIRS). We find evidence that neural networks associated with Theory of Mind, executive functions, and language were active during scalar inference in adults and some preschool-aged children. Moreover, we find that children who pass the scalar inference task show activation of neural networks associated with Theory of Mind and language processing (specifically including the dmPFC and LIFG) during scalar inference and right temporoparietal junction activity during a Theory of Mind task, while children who do not pass the task do not show activation of these regions. This study provides the first exploration into neural correlates of scalar inference in 4- and 5-year-olds using spatial neuroimaging techniques.

description: This paper investigates the use of game theoretic representations to represent and learn how to play interactive games such as Connect Four. We combine aspects of learning by demonstration, active learning, and game theory allowing a robot to leverage its developing representation of the game to conduct question/answer sessions with a person, thus filling in gaps in its knowledge. The paper demonstrates a method for teaching a robot the win conditions of the game Connect Four and its variants using a single demonstration and a few trial examples with a question and answer session led by the robot. Our results show that the robot can learn arbitrary win conditions for the game with little prior knowledge of the win conditions and then play the game with a human utilizing the learned win conditions. Our experiments also show that some questions are more important for learning the game's win conditions. We believe that this method could be broadly applied to a variety of interactive learning scenarios.

The coalescence proceeds via atomic diffusion with the release of surface energy raising the temperature. If the temperature exceeds the melting point of the coalesced cluster, a molten droplet forms. If the temperature falls between the melting point of the larger cluster and those of the smaller clusters, a metastable molten droplet forms and freezes.

Métodos: Na preparação da mesa redonda sobre como resolver os casos difíceis de epífora congénita, que decorreu na reunião do GPOPE em Outubro de 2013, os autores elaboraram um inquérito dirigido aos sócios da Sociedade Portuguesa de Oftalmologia relativo a práticas habi- tuais adoptadas em relação à obstrução lacrimonasal congénita. No presente artigo pretende-se dar a conhecer os resultados obtidos. Resultados: Responderam ao inquérito 107 oftalmologistas. Destes, 10% eram internos da especialidade, 29% e 9% tinham experiência em Oftalmologia Pediátrica e Oculoplástica, res- petivamente, e 52% não se incluíam em nenhum dos 3 grupos anteriores. A maioria (68%) baseia-se na apresentação clínica para estabelecer o diagnóstico. Todos realizam sondagem como primeira intervenção (67% após os 12 meses de idade e apenas 10% ocasionalmente antes dos 6 meses), como segunda intervenção a maioria repete a sondagem (77%) e como terceira intervenção é preferida a intubação (51%), mais frequentemente bilateral. A endoscopia nasal é utilizada usualmente por 13% e 28% dos inquiridos, respetivamente na repetição da sondagem e na intubação.

description: Electrons in operating microelectronic semiconductor devices are accelerated by locally varying strong electric field to acquire effective electron temperatures nonuniformly distributing in nanoscales and largely exceeding the temperature of host crystal lattice. The thermal dynamics of electrons and the lattice are hence nontrivial and its understanding at nanoscales is decisively important for gaining higher device performance. Here, we propose and demonstrate that in layered conductors nonequilibrium nature between the electrons and the lattice can be explicitly pursued by simulating the conducting layer by separating it into two physical sheets representing, respectively, the electron- and the lattice-subsystems. We take, as an example of simulating GaAs devices, a 35nm thick 1um wide U-shaped conducting channel with 15nm radius of curvature at the inner corner of the U-shaped bend, and find a remarkable hot spot to develop due to hot electron generation at the inner corner. The hot spot in terms of the electron temperature achieves a significantly higher temperature and is of far sharper spatial distribution when compared to the hot spot in terms of the lattice temperature. Similar simulation calculation made on a metal (NiCr) narrow lead of the similar geometry shows that a hot spot shows up as well at the inner corner, but its strength and the spatial profiles are largely different from those in semiconductor devices. The remarkable difference between the semiconductor and the metal is interpreted to be due to the large difference in the electron specific heat, rather than the difference in the electron phonon interaction. This work will provide useful hints to deeper understanding of the nonequilibrium properties of electrical conductors, through a simple and convenient method for modeling nonequilibrium layered conductors.

The measured intensity distribution near a (100) Bragg peak in the (hk0) scattering plane assumes the shape of a butterfly with extended intensity in the (110) and (1$\bar{1}$0) directions. The temperature dependence of the diffuse scattering shows that both the size of the polar nanoregions (PNR) and the integrated diffuse intensity increase with cooling even for temperatures below the Curie temperature $T_C \sim 213$ K.

description: Topological quantum optical states in one-dimensional (1D) quasiperiodic cold atomic chains are studied in this work. We propose that by introducing incommensurate modulations on the interatomic distances of 1D periodic atomic chains, the off-diagonal Aubry-André-Harper (AAH) model can be mimicked, although the crucial difference is the existence of long-range dipole-dipole interactions. The discrete band structures with respect to the modulation phase, which plays the role of a dimension extension parameter, are calculated for finite chains beyond the nearest-neighbor approximation. It is found that the present system indeed supports nontrivial topological states localized over the boundaries. Despite the presence of long-range dipole-dipole interactions that leads to an asymmetric band structure, it is demonstrated that this system inherits the topological properties of two-dimensional integer quantum Hall systems. The spectral position, for both real and imaginary frequencies, and number of these topologically protected edge states are still governed by the gap-labeling theorem and characterized by the topological invariant, namely, the (first) Chern number, indicating the validity of bulk-boundary correspondence. Due to the fractal spectrum arising from the quasiperiodicity in a substantially wide range of system parameters, our system provides a large number of topological gaps and optical states readily for practical use. It is also revealed that a substantial proportion of the topological edge states are highly subradiant with extremely low decay rates, which therefore offer an appealing route for controlling the emission of external quantum emitters and achieving high-fidelity quantum state storage.

description: Background: Accurate knowledge of the relationship between craniofacial anomalies (CFA), intellectual disability (ID) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is essential to improve services and outcomes. The aim is to describe the association between CFA, ID and ASD using linked population data. Methods: All births (1983–2005; n = 566,225) including CFA births (comprising orofacial clefts, craniosynostosis, craniofacial microsomia and mandibulofacial dysostosis) surviving to 5 years were identified from the birth, death, birth defects and midwives population data sets. Linked data from these data sets were followed for a minimum of 5 years from birth until 2010 in the intellectual disability database to identify ID and ASD. These associations were examined using a modified Poisson regression. Results: Prevalence of ID and ASD was higher among CFA (especially with additional anomalies) than those without [prevalence ratio 5.27, 95% CI 4.44, 6.25]. It was higher among CFA than those with other gastrointestinal and urogenital anomalies but lower than nervous system and chromosomal anomalies. Children with CFA and severe ID had a higher proportion of nervous system anomalies. Conclusions: Findings indicate increased ID and ASD among CFA but lower than nervous system and chromosomal anomalies. This population evidence can improve early identification of ID/ASD among CFA and support service planning.

description: Mathematical programming methods are used as a framework to evaluate world food prospects. Emphasis is on analyzing the world grain-oilseeds-livestock economy to capture the interaction of the predominantly cereal economies of the developing world and the livestock economies of the developed world as they compete for the world's agricultural resources. The mathematical model, called the Grain-Oilseeds-Livestock (GOL) model, incorporates general population and income growth rates, demand and supply price elasticities, input variables, and assumptions about basic underlying economic trends and policy constraints.

description: Objectivo: Analisar a morfologia do segmento anterior por tomografia de coerência ótica de segmento anterior (OCT-SA) em crianças com glaucoma congénito primário (GCP). Material e métodos: Realizou-se um estudo caso-controlo, prospetivo, em crianças com GCP e em crianças sem glaucoma (grupo controlo), seguidas em Consulta de Oftalmologia Pediátrica do Hospital Dona Estefânia, Centro Hospitalar de Lisboa Central. Efectuou-se avaliação oftal- mológica completa e OCT-SA utilizando o protocolo AC biometry. Resultados: O estudo incluiu 27 olhos (17 crianças com GCP) e 22 olhos (11 crianças sem glau- coma). Detetaram-se valores significativamente superiores de profundidade central e largura da câmara anterior (CA) (p<0,001) e maiores distâncias de abertura do ângulo a 500 (p<0,001) e 750μm (p=0,001), áreas de espaço irido-trabecular a 500 e 750μm (p<0,001) e áreas do recesso do ângulo a 500 (p<0,001) e 750μm (p=0,001), no grupo GCP. A espessura da íris foi signifi- cativamente mais fina a 500μm do ângulo (p=0,011), no centro da íris (p<0,001) e na região mais espessa da mesma (p=0,001) no grupo GCP, assim como o comprimento da íris foi supe- rior (p<0,001). A largura de CA e a acuidade visual (logMAR) apresentam correlação positiva (r=0,688; p<0,001). Outros achados morfológicos: anteriorização e hipoplasia da íris, alteração da morfologia do ângulo no local de intervenção cirúrgica (goniotomia, trabeculotomia, trabecu- lectomia, válvula de Ahmed). Conclusão: Este primeiro estudo em crianças com GCP sugere que a OCT-SA é de aquisição relativamente fácil, poderá ajudar no seguimento clínico e cirúrgico e ser útil como fator prog- nóstico destes doentes.

description: We study the symmetries of the soliton spectrum of a pair of T-dual integrable models, invariant under global $SL(2)_q\otimes U(1)$ transformations. They represent an integrable perturbation of the reduced Gepner parafermions, based on certain gauged SL(3) - WZW model. Their (semiclassical) topological soliton solutions, carrying isospin and belonging to the root of unity representations of q-deformed $SU(2)_q$ - algebra are obtained. We derive the semiclassical particle spectrum of these models, which is further used to prove their T-duality properties.

description: A theoretical model is reviewed and used to evaluate the effects of currency devaluation or revaluation on production, consumption, trade, and price in both exporting and importing countries. The model is applied to the effects of devaluation on the agricultural sector, when supply and demand are inelastic. Based on the analysis, devaluation will have only a small impact on agricultural trade. What effect there is will be primarily on price rather than quantity.

Stochastic Proximal Gradient Methods for Nonconvex Problems in Hilbert Spaces

description: For finite-dimensional problems, stochastic approximation methods have long been used to solve stochastic optimization problems. Their application to infinite-dimensional problems is less understood, particularly for nonconvex objectives. This paper presents convergence results for the stochastic proximal gradient method applied to Hilbert spaces, motivated by optimization problems with partial differential equation (PDE) constraints with random inputs and coefficients. We study stochastic algorithms for nonconvex and nonsmooth problems, where the nonsmooth part is convex and the nonconvex part is the expectation, which is assumed to have a Lipschitz continuous gradient. The optimization variable is an element of a Hilbert space. We show almost sure convergence of strong limit points of the random sequence generated by the algorithm to stationary points. We demonstrate the stochastic proximal gradient algorithm on a tracking-type functional with a $L^1$-penalty term constrained by a semilinear PDE and box constraints, where input terms and coefficients are subject to uncertainty. We verify conditions for ensuring convergence of the algorithm and show a simulation.

description: ·India reported 3,78,075 new cases of COVID-19 (on 5 May 2021,) accounting for 47% of new cases reported globally and 276 daily cases per million population.
 ·Presently, India is going through the second wave with so many morbidity, mortality with scarcity of oxygen supply, hospital beds, and supply of essential medicines throughout the country.
 ·India were able to combat the first wave of COVID-19 in 2020 successfully, where complete lockdown followed by so many restrictions were implemented very strictly.
 ·In this year, complacency has been observed in maintaining COVID-19 appropriate behaviour by the people.
 ·Already so many initiatives have been undertaken like COVID-19 vaccination, installation of new oxygen plants, conversion of nitrogen generator to oxygen generator etc.
 ·In spite of the different initiatives daily number of COVID-19 cases stands around more than 3.5 lakh cases per day. Some authorities have already raised their voice in favour of lockdown despite adverse consequences in terms of economic outcome.
 ·In this background, the present study was conducted to check out the different options for lockdown to tackle the transmission of the disease.

description: We show that the Lorentz integral transform (LIT) technique which has been successfully applied to photoreactions in light nuclei can also be applied to photoreactions involving particle production. A simple model where results are easily calculable in the traditional fashion is used to test the technique. Specifically we compute inclusive $π^+$ photoproduction from deuterium for photon energies less than 200 MeV using a Yamaguchi model for the NN interaction. It is demonstrated that although the response functions for inclusive meson production do not have favourable asymptotic behavior one can nontheless extract them by inversion of the transform. The implication is that one can treat realistic problems of photo-meson production including all final state interactions by means of the LIT technique.
