description: Wavefunction effects in uncorrelated systems are characterized by the Berry curvature and quantum metric. Beyond those, we propose gauge-independent tensors describing Bloch wavefunction effects on local interaction between correlated particles. We derive an effective hydrodynamic theory for ultracold bosons in optical lattices. Ground states and collective modes of superfluids in isotropic harmonic traps are solved for highly symmetric lattices. In a dynamic process, the wavefunction effects are featured by the eigenfrequency, amplitude, and phase shift of an excited breathing mode and can be observed in experiments. We also give a tight-binding model of a bipartite square lattice with nontrivial wavefunction effects, where results are estimated with typical experimental parameters. Our discovery advances the connections between the modern band theory and quantum many-body physics.

CALLISTO

description: The CALLISTO vehicle is a flight demonstrator for future reusable launcher stages. The program involves three countries and their space organizations: CNES for France, DLR for Germany and JAXA for Japan. The first tests will be conducted in 2024 from the CSG, Europe\'s Spaceport for commercial launches. The challenge is to develop, all along the project, the skills of the partners. This knowhow includes Products and Vehicle design, Ground Segment set up, and post-flight operations for Vehicle recovery then reuse. Focusing on operations in French Guiana and CSG, the Vehicle recovery operations just after flight at Landing Pad pose unique safety related challenges. Indeed, ahead of clearing access to operation staff, ensuring that Vehicle is safe enough is mandatory. Whatever the operational scenario is, there is the need for (i) limited time (for getting safety-critical operations completed) and (ii) some supplying media functions for running these operations properly up to their end. From a design standpoint, there are two basic options: To have vehicle performing flight with extra reserves to complete safety-critical operations after landing (e.g. electrical power), To make the vehicle as light as possible and manage post-landing operations with external means. One primary motivation for CALLISTO is to fly and collect real environment data over the largest flight envelope possible. Having in mind that the rocket engine of CALLISTO is off-the-shelf product, the single way to explore the maximized flight envelope is to minimize Vehicle dry mass and maximize propellant loading accordingly. Therefore, CALLISTO team looks for minimizing mass budget of ancillaries including for example electrical power generation distribution. In addition, the trade-off for Concept of Operations and derived design solutions was cost reduction driven objective. Resulting baseline is to take benefit from usage of Robot after flight at Landing Zone for operating it ahead of flight as well at Lift-Off Pad. Then the Ground Support Equipment to be operated at Lift-Off Pad is optimized accordingly. Purpose of this paper is to detail how the CALLISTO team explored the option of remote and automated operations with a Robot at Landing Pad to ensure proper post-flight safe state of Vehicle at Landing and complying with cost constraints. The path for reaching this baseline scenario will be presented.
title: Microplastics in the Marine Environment and the Characterization of Their Attached Microbial Communities
Creators: name: Donnarumma, Vincenzo
Publisher: name: The Open University

description: Microplastics (MPs) pollution is increasingly recognized as a potential threat to the marine environment (Thompson et al., 2009) and for this reason MPs are included as indicators of the Marine Strategy Framework in order to reach a Good Environmental Status (GES) (Jahnke et al., 2013). In this thesis MP distribution, occurrence at surface and its attached microbial community have been assessed and characterized using microscopy (light and electron) and High Throughput 16S rRNA gene sequencing (Illumina). Distribution and occurrence has been analysed as a function of water circulation, spatio-temporal variabilities and, most of all, distance from urban settlements and activities. Different time scales have been investigated, from the basin (Atlantic and Mediterranean sea) to sub-basin (Adriatic Sea) to coastal areas (Campania region). In coastal areas seasonality has also been investigated. The so-called microbial plastisphere has been investigated in terms of community composition and presence of individual taxa, to be used as indicators of maturity and potential toxicity to humans. Since rivers are recognized as major sources of MPs to the sea, a comparison of freshwater to marine plastisphere members has highlighted differences but also similarities. In vitro production of biofilm attached to commercial microbeads has also been assessed during an experiment aimed at assessing the effect of plastics on the sea urchin P. lividus. In general, results point to the existence of “core” plastisphere bacteria, which are always present, also suggesting adaptive advantages of the attachment to MPs. Apart from these, communities appear to be influenced by local environmental and biogeographical factors at all scales investigated, also confirming previous observations. Variability in time and space is a factor to be considered when assessing MP pollution, especially in coastal area, and most of all, when considering the potential harmful effects of the attached microbes to ecosystems or humans.

That is, if $k \geq 3$ being fixed and $y\geq x^{1-1/4+\varepsilon}$, then for any $A>0$, we have \[ \sum_{x< n \leq x+y} μ(n) e\left(n^k α\right) \ll y(\log y)^{-A} \] uniformly for $α\in \mathbb{R}$.

description: Procedural modelling of realistic environments that include elements derived from human activity can largely reduce production cost in animation, video-games and feature films. We address the problem of placing roads and other human-made elements, such as buildings, in a way that is consistent with the scene relief. Our approach is based on the calculation of so called desire paths, by means of the generation of many optimal paths according to different cost or distance functions. Using this idea, we rely on the information of the terrain properties to emulate the exploration of the scenario by a large number of pedestrians. From the routes generated by the pedestrians, we define walkability and habitability maps on the scene that can be later used to locate roads or buildings.

description: Star formation is essential in galaxy evolution and the cycling of matter. The support of interstellar clouds against gravitational collapse by magnetic (B-) fields has been proposed to explain the low observed star formation efficiency in galaxies and the Milky Way. Despite the Planck satellite providing a 5-15' all-sky map of the B-field geometry in the diffuse interstellar medium, higher spatial resolution observations are required to understand the transition from diffuse gas to gravitationally unstable filaments. NGC 2024, the Flame Nebula, in the nearby Orion B molecular cloud, contains a young, expanding HII region and a dense filament that harbors embedded protostellar objects. Therefore, NGC 2024 is an excellent opportunity to study the role of B-fields in the formation, evolution, and collapse of filaments, as well as the dynamics and effects of young HII regions on the surrounding molecular gas. We combine new 154 and 216 micron dust polarization measurements carried out using the HAWC+ instrument aboard SOFIA with molecular line observations of 12CN(1-0) and HCO+(1-0) from the IRAM 30-meter telescope to determine the B-field geometry and to estimate the plane of the sky magnetic field strength across the NGC 2024. The HAWC+ observations show an ordered B-field geometry in NGC 2024 that follows the morphology of the expanding HII region and the direction of the main filament. The derived plane of the sky B-field strength is moderate, ranging from 30 to 80 micro G. The strongest B-field is found at the northern-west edge of the HII region, characterized by the highest gas densities and molecular line widths. In contrast, the weakest field is found toward the filament in NGC 2024. The B-field has a non-negligible influence on the gas stability at the edges of the expanding HII shell (gas impacted by the stellar feedback) and the filament (site of the current star formation).

description: We present a new near-field cosmological probe of the initial mass function (IMF) of the first stars. Specifically, we constrain the lower-mass limit of the Population III (Pop III) IMF with the total number of stars in large, unbiased surveys of the Milky Way. We model the early star formation history in a Milky Way-like halo with a semi-analytic approach, based on Monte-Carlo sampling of dark matter merger trees, combined with a treatment of the most important feedback mechanisms. Assuming a logarithmically flat Pop III IMF and varying its low mass limit, we derive the number of expected survivors of these first stars, using them to estimate the probability to detect any such Pop III fossil in stellar archaeological surveys. Following our analysis, the most promising region to find possible Pop III survivors is the stellar halo of the Milky Way, which is the best target for future surveys. We find that if no genuine Pop III survivor is detected in a sample size of $4 \times 10^6$ ($2 \times 10^7$) halo stars with well-controlled selection effects, then we can exclude the hypothesis that the primordial IMF extended down below $0.8 M_\odot$ at a confidence level of 68% (99%). With the sample size of the Hamburg/ESO survey, we can tentatively exclude Pop III stars with masses below $0.65 M_\odot$ with a confidence level of 95%, although this is subject to significant uncertainties. To fully harness the potential of our approach, future large surveys are needed that employ uniform, unbiased selection strategies for high-resolution spectroscopic follow-up.

description: The planet GJ 367 b is a recently discovered high-density sub-Earth orbiting an M dwarf star. Its composition was modelled to be predominantly iron with a potential remainder of a hydrogen-helium envelope. Here we report an X-ray detection of this planet's host star for the first time, using data from the spectro-imaging X-ray telescope eROSITA onboard the Spectrum-Roentgen-Gamma (SRG) mission. We characterise the magnetic activity of the host star from the X-ray data and estimate its effects on a potential atmosphere of the planet. We find that despite the very low activity level of the host star the expected mass loss rates, both under core-powered and photoevaporative mass loss regimes, are so high that a potential primordial or outgassed atmosphere would evaporate very quickly. Since the activity level of the host star indicates that the system is several Gigayears old, it is very unlikely that the planet currently still hosts any atmosphere.

description: The CALLISTO Vehicle is a flight demonstrator for future reusable launcher stages.

The first tests will be conducted in 2024 from the CSG, Europe\'s Spaceport for commercial launches. The challenge is to develop, all along the project, the skills of the partners. This know-how includes Products and Vehicle design, Ground Segment set up, and post-flight operations for Vehicle recovery then reuse. From Avionics standpoint, CALLISTO demonstration of a re-usable 1st stage launcher VTVL at small scale highlights specific and demanding needs such as: - Navigation, with an accuracy performance vs. Vehicle velocity and location requiring a very stringent knowledge of real-time Vehicle states in order to be able to catch and compensate any errors through guidance and control, in particular during the landing phase; - Telemetry and Telecommand covering the whole flight, including post-landing operations during which the Vehicle has to be put back to a safe state to enable access to staff for final operations ahead of Maintenance Repair Operations themselves; - Flight safety all along trajectory, from in-flight health assessment and monitoring to flight termination strategy which directly impacts avionics at system level; - Robust management of avionics hardware environment inside the different Vehicle cavities in a wide variety of mission profiles and external conditions. Avionics combine off-the-shelf products and devoted developments coming from the three Partners of the Project. It results in a decentralized Avionics architecture and different approaches in development management. At system level, a dedicated hardware platform located at ArianeGroup premises (Les Mureaux - France) carries out unitary integration tests on each product along with chain and functional tests involving all equipment units. This Avionics Validation Facility (AVF) contributes to system VV and provides derisking and anomaly investigation possibilities. In addition, a dedicated GN2 conditionning system is implemented to enable thermal (and chemical) environment management of avionics equipment units in pre-flight and post-landing phases.
Propertius through Wilson: Books of Latin Love Poetry as Objects

description: What is the importance of a book? What lives has it lived? In the heart of UNC's campus, Wilson Library holds a vast collection of rare books. In this thesis I explore five volumes of Latin love poetry, taking a subject often studied as a text from a different perspective. I ask the question: how do these books function as objects? Examining ownership, decoding handwritten annotations, and investigating provenance, I discover diverse stories of tiny erotic gifts, books passed down in North Carolina plantations, and rich sources of inspiration for Renaissance poets. Working hands-on with objects pushing, in some cases, 500 years old, I end with a case study of Wilson's many different stories involving the same text, and insights into how various readers across time related to the same poetry. Complete with rich images of the books, my thesis combines Latin philological training with an object-based, art historical approach informed by my work at the Ackland Art Museum on campus and in the rare book industry in London.

description: In many instances of election, the electorate appears to be a composite of partisan and independent voters. Given that partisans are not likely to convert to a different party, a main goal for a party could be to mobilize independent voters toward the party with the help of strong leadership, mass media, partisans, and effects of peer-to-peer influence. Based on the exact solution of the classical voter model dynamics in the presence of perfectly partisan voters (i.e., zealots), we propose a computational method to maximize the share of the party in a social network of independent voters by pinning control strategy. The party, corresponding to the controller or zealots, optimizes the nodes to be controlled given the information about the connectivity of independent voters and the set of nodes that the opponent party controls. We show that controlling hubs is generally a good strategy, whereas the optimized strategy is even better. The superiority of the optimized strategy is particularly eminent when the independent voters are connected as directed rather than undirected networks.

Während manche Themen seit jeher größere Beachtung finden – man denke etwa an die Einflüsse der antiken Mythologie auf Motive der modernen Kunst und Literatur –, befinden sich andere unter dem ‚Radar‘ der öffentlichen Wahrnehmung. Eines dieser Gebiete ist die Rechtswissenschaft, deren Wurzeln auf die im antiken Rom gewachsene Jurisprudenz zurückgehen. In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird gezeigt, wie man dieses antike Erbe für den Lateinunterricht fruchtbar machen kann. Mit dem beigefügten Arbeitsheft können Schüler die Entwicklung des römischen Rechts von seinen ersten Ansätzen bis hin zu seiner vollen Entfaltung nachvollziehen. Zudem lesen sie von authentischen Fällen, in denen es um Immobilienschwindel, Ehebruch oder Magie ging, und erkennen Parallelen wie auch Abweichungen von unserem modernen Rechtsverständnis.

description: Galactic winds probe how stellar feedback regulates the mass and metallicity of galaxies. Observations show that galactic winds are multiphase and magnetised. In the local Universe, the dense phase is traced by emission and absorption lines, which reveal the presence of fast-moving clouds embedded in hot streams. Simulations tell us that magnetic fields can shield such clouds and delay their disruption, but there is little discussed on their observational effects. Using 3D MHD simulations, we study the influence of two orientations of the magnetic field (aligned and transverse) on the cloud morphology, temperature and density structure, mixing fraction, ion kinematics, column densities, and absorption spectra. We study supersonic wind-cloud systems with radiative processes, and develop a framework to extract ion column density maps and synthetic absorption spectra. The framework relies on studying ion populations and creating down-the-barrel spectra via an interface that links our PLUTO simulations to TRIDENT using YT, CLOUDY, and STARBURST99. We find that the transverse magnetic field makes the cloud asymmetric, shields and protects dense cold gas, and reduces mixing fractions compared to the aligned case. Ions can reach higher velocities in the transverse field case. The imprints of the initial orientation of the field on the synthetic spectra are: in the cold phase we find no signature of C ii and Si ii when the field is aligned, in the intermediate phase traced by C iv and Si iv we find broader lines in the transverse case, and in the warm phase we find deeper lines for O vi and N v in the aligned case, but they are less sensitive to the field orientation. Magnetic fields significantly affect the absorption spectra of cold clouds. Intermediate ions are the most sensitive to the magnetic field orientation and can potentially yield information about magnetic field topology.

description: Electronic properties of quasi-two-dimensional molecular conductors $X$[Pd(dmit)$_2$]$_2$ are studied theoretically. We construct an effective model based on the fragment molecular orbital scheme developed recently, which can describe the multi-orbital degree of freedom in this system. The tight-binding parameters for a series of $β'$-type compounds with different cations $X$ are evaluated by fitting to first-principles band calculations. We find that the transfer integrals within the dimers of Pd(dmit)$_2$ molecules, along the intramolecular and intermolecular bonds including the diagonal ones, are the same order, leading to hybridization between different molecular orbitals. This results in charge disproportionation within each molecule, as seen in our previous ab initio study [T. Tsumuraya et al, J. Phys. Soc. Jpn. 82, 033709 (2013)], and also to a revised picture of an effective dimer model. Furthermore, we discuss broken-symmetry insulating states triggered by interaction effects, which show characteristic features owing to the multi-orbital nature. The on-site Coulomb interaction induces antiferromagnetic states with intramolecular antiparallel spin pattern, while electron-lattice couplings stabilize non-magnetic charge-lattice ordered states where two kinds of dimers with different charge occupation arrange periodically. These states showing different spatial patterns compete with each other as well as with the paramagnetic metallic state.

description: We aim to provide observational signatures of the dust size evolution in the ISM. In particular, we explore indicators of the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) mass fraction ($q_{PAH}$), defined as the mass fraction of PAHs relative to total dust grains. In addition, we validate our dust evolution model by comparing the observational signatures from our simulations to observations. We used the hydrodynamic simulation code, GADGET4-OSAKA to model the dust properties of Milky Way-like and NGC 628-like galaxies representing star-forming galaxies. This code incorporates the evolution of grain size distributions driven by dust production and interstellar processing. Furthermore, we performed post-processing dust radiative transfer with SKIRT based on the simulations to predict the observational properties. We find that the intensity ratio between 8 um and 24 um is correlated with $q_{PAH}$ and can be used as an indicator of PAH mass fraction. However, this ratio is influenced by the radiation field. We suggest the 8 um-to-total infrared intensity ratio ($νI_ν(8 μm)/I$(TIR)) as another indicator, since it is tightly correlated with $q_{PAH}$. Furthermore, we explored the spatially resolved $q_{PAH}$ in the simulated Milky Way-like galaxy using $νI_ν(8 μm)/I$(TIR). We find that the spatially resolved $q_{PAH}$ increases with metallicity at metallicity at Z<0.2 Zsun due to the interplay between accretion and shattering while it decreases at Z>0.2 Zsun because of coagulation. Finally, we compared the above indicators in the NGC 628-like simulation with those observed in NGC 628 by recent observations. Consequently, we find that our simulation underestimates the PAH mass fraction throughout the entire galaxy by a factor of $\sim 8$ on average. This could be due to the efficient loss of PAHs by coagulation in our model.

description: Religion is an important aspect of many people’s addiction recovery. But while some research shows religion predicts positive attitudes toward people who use drugs, other research suggests that it may also be associated with prejudice toward drug users. What accounts for this discrepancy? Some research suggests that one’s views on the nature and causes of addiction are related to people’s religious beliefs and experiences as well as their attitudes toward people struggling with addiction. Here we test whether conceptions of addiction can explain the relationship between religiosity and attitudes towards addiction. In a correlational study (N = 125), we test whether religiosity is associated with acceptability of discrimination toward addicts in the context of housing and employment, and whether this can be explained by different levels of endorsement of two conceptions of addiction. Our results suggest that religiosity is unrelated to whether addiction discrimination is viewed as acceptable. However, the view that addiction is primarily a problem of moral character was related to greater acceptance of discrimination, but the view that addiction is a biological condition was related to less acceptance of discrimination. Participants’ religiosity was negatively related to the biological view of addiction, but unrelated to the moral view. Limitations and future directions are discussed.

description: WP 3.3 Power Management and Fault Analysis (GE Avio, DLR, University Strathclyde) (M10 M42) Power Management is the central process for an optimal management of hybrid-electric aircraft distributed propulsion system. A Power Management system deal with Loads Management and Source Management in a coordinated mode. Indeed, it controls: The electrical loads which can at least be cut off or reconnected (on/off). There are also loads (EM) that are continuously regulated. The generators that can works above their nominal power for a short time. Such an overload capacity can be managed. The energy flow that can split the power demand of a set of loads on several sources if parallel sources are available. The configuration of the electrical network that can be properly configured (i.e., which generator is connected to which sub-network or bus bar). The storage devices that can take or provide prescribed power, when available. The thermal overload management according to the flight phases. The optimization of energy system strictly depends on the complexity and dimension of the distribution system and on the generators system. Thus, this optimization process requires sufficient redundancy to undersize relevant failure cases and the power management enables the delivery of the required power to sustain safe operation. In normal operation, the power source management can be used to select the most efficient energy available source in order to minimize the environmental impact of the aircraft. The paper will present the propulsion system\'s control architecture defining the logic to manage the propulsion aircraft system. Such algorithm shall ensure peak-load reduction, optimal energy use and the integration of all power sources with the power delivery from thermal engines. The definition of the overall power management shall also integrate additional aspects, such as the criticality and hazardous consequences of potential failures in the electrical architecture system. The paper will also present the fail-safe strategies adopted to ensure safety and flightworthiness of the aircraft and eliminate hazardous scenarios. Last, the power management strategies, which constitute the interface between the power control system and the aircraft design and missions, will be detailed. Such strategies shall ensure an optimal use of the different energy sources over the whole mission and of additional energy storages for emergency situations. Since peak-power capability and cooling authority are tightly interrelated, interaction exist with thermal management. This interaction enable to analyze the potential benefit of waste heat recovery in terms of power management and overall aircraft efficiency.

Optimal Exercise Times for Bermudan Options
Creators: name: Larino, Sarah
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2023

description: In this paper, I explore optimal decision making around the exercising of Bermudan financial options. The decision to exercise can be modeled as a Markov Decision Process and, specifically, as an optimal stopping problem. The analytical method for solving for these optimal exercise times typically relies on simulating underlying asset prices, a process that limits the accuracy of the exercise decisions to the accuracy of the simulation process. Simulations based on the Black-Scholes pricing model, and, consequently, geometric Brownian Motion, are frequently utilized, but these methods rely on a number of assumptions that may not hold in real-world applications. My goal is to specify a method for solving for optimal exercise times that builds on previous literature while incorporating additional realism in the simulation process in order to better represent the problem space.
Change of Sex Gaps in Total and Cause-Specific Mortality Over the Life Span in the United States

description: Previous research has led to the expectation that the gap in mortality between sexes narrows in older ages as sex differences in fecundity decrease. However, the patterns and explanations of variations in sex disparities in mortality across the life span and underlying causes of death are not well understood. We conducted a population-based study to further test this hypothesis.

description: The layered honeycomb magnet $α$-RuCl$_3$ is the most promising candidate for a Kitaev quantum spin liquid (KQSL) that can host charge-neutral Majorana fermions. Recent studies have shown significant sample dependence of thermal transport properties, which are a key probe of Majorana quasiparticles in the KQSL state, highlighting the importance of preparing high-quality single crystals of $α$-RuCl$_3$. Here, we present a relatively simple and reliable method to grow high-quality single crystals of $α$-RuCl$_3$. We use a two-step crystal growth method consisting of a purification process by chemical vapor transport (CVT) and a main crystal growth process by sublimation. The obtained crystals exhibit a distinct first-order structural phase transition from the monoclinic ($C2/m$) to the rhombohedral ($R\bar{3}$) structure at $\sim150$ K, which is confirmed by the nuclear quadrupole resonance spectra with much sharper widths than previously reported. The Raman spectra show the absence of defect-induced modes, supporting the good crystallinity of our samples. The jumps in the thermal expansion coefficient and specific heat at the antiferromagnetic (AFM) transition at 7.6-7.7 K are larger and sharper than those of previous samples grown by the CVT and Bridgman methods and do not show any additional AFM transitions at 10-14 K due to stacking faults. The longitudinal thermal conductivity in the AFM phase is significantly larger than previously reported, indicating a very long mean free path of heat carriers. All the results indicate that our single crystals are of superior quality with good crystallinity and few stacking faults, which provides a suitable platform for studying the Kitaev physics.

description: We derive quantum nonequilibrium equalities in absolutely irreversible processes. Here by absolute irreversibility we mean that in the backward process the density matrix does not return to the subspace spanned by those eigenvectors that have nonzero weight in the initial density matrix. Since the initial state of a memory and the postmeasurement state of the system are usually restricted to a subspace, absolute irreversibility occurs during the measurement and feedback processes. An additional entropy produced in absolute irreversible processes needs to be taken into account to derive nonequilibrium equalities. We discuss a model of a feedback control on a qubit system to illustrate the obtained equalities. By introducing $N$ heat baths each composed of a qubit and letting them interact with the system, we show how the entropy reduction via feedback control can be converted into work. An explicit form of extractable work in the presence of absolute irreversibility is given.
