description: In the past few decades, numerous searches have been made for the neutrinoless double-beta decay (0$νββ$) process, aiming to establish whether neutrinos are their own antiparticles (Majorana neutrinos), but no 0$νββ$ decay signal has yet been observed. A number of new experiments are proposed but they ultimately suffer from a common problem: the sensitivity may not increase indefinitely with the target mass. We have performed a detailed analysis of the physics potential by using the Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) to improve the sensitivity to 0$νββ$ up to a few meV, a major step forward with respect to the experiments currently being planned. JUNO is a 20 kton low-background liquid scintillator (LS) detector with 3\%/$\sqrt{E \text{(MeV)}}$ energy resolution, now under construction. It is feasible to build a balloon filled with enriched xenon gas (with $^{136}$Xe up to 80\%) dissolved in LS, inserted into the central region of the JUNO LS. The energy resolution is $\sim$1.9\% at the $Q$-value of $^{136}$Xe 0$νββ$ decay. Ultra-low background is the key for 0$νββ$ decay searches. Detailed studies of background rates from intrinsic 2$νββ$ and $^{8}$B solar neutrinos, natural radioactivity, and cosmogenic radionuclides (including light isotopes and $^{137}$Xe) were performed and several muon veto schemes were developed. We find that JUNO has the potential to reach a sensitivity (at 90\% C. L.) to $T^{0νββ}_{1/2}$ of $1.8\times10^{28}$ yr ($5.6\times10^{27}$ yr) with $\sim$50 tons (5 tons) of fiducial $^{136}$Xe and 5 years exposure, while in the 50-ton case the corresponding sensitivity to the effective neutrino mass, $m_{ββ}$, could reach (5--12) meV, covering completely the allowed region of inverted neutrino mass ordering.

description: The Fornax Cluster is the nearest galaxy cluster in the southern sky. NGC 1404 is a bright elliptical galaxy falling through the intracluster medium of the Fornax Cluster. The sharp leading edge of NGC 1404 forms a classical "cold front" that separates 0.6 keV dense interstellar medium and 1.5 keV diffuse intracluster medium. We measure the angular pressure variation along the cold front using a very deep (670\,ksec) {\sl Chandra} X-ray observation. We are taking the classical approach -- using stagnation pressure to determine a substructure's speed -- to the next level by not only deriving a general speed but also directionality which yields the complete velocity field as well as the distance of the substructure directly from the pressure distribution. We find a hydrodynamic model consistent with the pressure jump along NGC 1404's atmosphere measured in multiple directions. The best-fit model gives an inclination of 33$^{\circ}$ and a Mach number of 1.3 for the infall of NGC 1404, in agreement with complementary measurements of the motion of NGC 1404. Our study demonstrates the successful treatment of a highly ionized ICM as ideal fluid flow, in support of the hypothesis that magnetic pressure is not dynamically important over most of the virial region of galaxy clusters.

description: We show that high energy measurements of Drell-Yan at the LHC can serve as electroweak precision tests. Dimension-6 operators, from the Standard Model Effective Field Theory, modify the high energy behavior of electroweak gauge boson propagators. Existing measurements of the dilepton invariant mass spectrum, from neutral current Drell-Yan at 8 TeV, have comparable sensitivity to LEP. We propose measuring the transverse mass spectrum of charged current Drell-Yan, which can surpass LEP already with 8 TeV data. The 13 TeV LHC will elevate electroweak tests to a new precision frontier.

description: New insights into transport properties of nanostructures with a linear dispersion along one direction and a quadratic dispersion along another are obtained by analysing their spectral stability properties under small perturbations. Physically relevant sufficient and necessary conditions to guarantee the existence of discrete eigenvalues are derived under rather general assumptions on external fields. One of the most interesting features of the analysis is the evident spectral instability of the systems in the weakly coupled regime. The rigorous theoretical results are illustrated by numerical experiments and predictions for physical experiments are made.

Using a test-function argument with help of parallel coordinates outside the cut-locus of the curve, we establish the existence of discrete eigenvalues. This is a special variant of a recent result of Exner in a non-smooth case and via a different technique which does not require non-positive constraining potentials.

description: We propose two asymptotic expansions of two interrelated integral-type averages, in the context of the fractional $\infty$-Laplacian $Δ_\infty^s$ for $s\in (\frac{1}{2},1)$. This operator has been introduced and first studied in [Bjorland, C., Caffarelli, L. and Figalli, A., \textsl{Nonlocal Tug-of-War and the inifnity fractional Laplacian}, Comm. Pure Appl. Math., \textbf{65}, pp. 337--380, (2012)]. Our expansions are parametrised by the radius of the removed singularity $ε$, and allow for the identification of $Δ_\infty^sϕ(x)$ as the $ε^{2s}$-order coefficient of the deviation of the $ε$-average from the value $ϕ(x)$, in the limit $ε\to 0+$. The averages are well posed for functions $ϕ$ that are only Borel regular and bounded.

description: We explore the physics of a Chern insulator subjected to a two step Floquet drive. We analytically obtain the phase diagram and show that the system can exhibit different topological phases characterized by presence and chirality of edge-modes in the two bulk gaps of the Floquet quasienergy spectrum, around $0$ and $π$. We find that the phase of the system depends on the mean but not on the amplitude of the drive. The bulk topological invariants characterizing the phases can be extracted by mapping the unitary evolution within a time period to an energetically trivial but topologically non-trivial time evolution. An extensive numerical study of the bulk topological invariants in the presence of quenched disorder reveals new transitions induced by strong disorder (i) from the different topological to trivial insulator phases and (ii) from a trivial to a topological Anderson insulator phase at intermediate disorder strengths. Careful analysis of level statistics of the quasienergy spectrum indicates a `levitation-annihilation' mechanism near these transitions.

description: The low-energy sector of QCD with $N_f = 2\!+\!1$ dynamical quark flavors at non-vanishing chemical potential and temperature is studied with a non-perturbative functional renormalization group method. The analysis is performed in different truncations in order to explore fluctuation-induced modifications of the quark-meson correlations as well as quark and meson propagators on the chiral phase transition of QCD. Depending on the chosen truncation significant quantitative implications on the phase transition are found. In the chirally symmetric phase, the quark flavor composition of the pseudoscalar $(η,η^{\prime})$-meson complex turns out to be drastically sensitive to fluctuation-induced modifications in the presence of the axial $U(1)_A$ anomaly. This has important phenomenological consequences for the assignment of chiral partners to these mesons.

description: Using a correspondence between the spectrum of the damped wave equation and non-self-adjoint Schroedinger operators, we derive various bounds on complex eigenvalues of the former. In particular, we establish a sharp result that the one-dimensional damped wave operator is similar to the undamped one provided that the L^1 norm of the (possibly complex-valued) damping is less than 2. It follows that these small dampings are spectrally undetectable.

description: We present rigorous results for the mean first passage time and first passage time statistics for two-channel Markov additive diffusion in a 3-dimensional spherical domain. Inspired by biophysical examples we assume that the particle can only recognise the target in one of the modes, which is shown to effect a non-trivial first passage behaviour. We also address the scenario of intermittent immobilisation. In both cases we prove that despite the perfectly non-recurrent motion of two-channel Markov additive diffusion in 3 dimensions the first passage statistics at long times do not display Poisson-like behaviour if none of the phases has a vanishing diffusion coefficient. This stands in stark contrast to the standard (one-channel) Markov diffusion counterpart. We also discuss the relevance of our results in the context of cellular signalling.

description: We present a fully-coupled, implicit-in-time framework for solving a thermodynamically-consistent Cahn-Hilliard Navier-Stokes system that models two-phase flows. In this work, we extend the block iterative method presented in Khanwale et al. [\textit{Simulating two-phase flows with thermodynamically consistent energy stable Cahn-Hilliard Navier-Stokes equations on parallel adaptive octree based meshes}, J. Comput. Phys. (2020)], to a fully-coupled, provably second-order accurate scheme in time, while maintaining energy-stability. The new method requires fewer matrix assemblies in each Newton iteration resulting in faster solution time. The method is based on a fully-implicit Crank-Nicolson scheme in time and a pressure stabilization for an equal order Galerkin formulation. That is, we use a conforming continuous Galerkin (cG) finite element method in space equipped with a residual-based variational multiscale (RBVMS) procedure to stabilize the pressure. We deploy this approach on a massively parallel numerical implementation using parallel octree-based adaptive meshes. We present comprehensive numerical experiments showing detailed comparisons with results from the literature for canonical cases, including the single bubble rise, Rayleigh-Taylor instability, and lid-driven cavity flow problems. We analyze in detail the scaling of our numerical implementation.

Subjects: subject: Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics (cond-mat.mes-hall)

description: We develop a theory of the exchange interaction between ferromagnetic (FM) metallic grains embedded into insulating matrix by taking into account the Coulomb blockade effects. For bulk ferromagnets separated by the insulating layer the exchange interaction strongly depends on the height and thickness of the tunneling barrier created by the insulator. We show that for FM grains embedded into insulating matrix the exchange coupling additionally depends on the dielectric properties of this matrix due to the Coulomb blockade effects. In particular, the FM coupling decreases with decreasing the dielectric permittivity of insulating matrix. We find that the change in the exchange interaction due to the Coulomb blockade effects can be a few tens of percent. Also, we study dependence of the intergrain exchange interaction on the grain size and other parameters of the system.

Subjects: #WomenLaborCOVID

description: In the spring of 2020, we grew curious about the impact of the pandemic on women in the workplace. While we believed there was a disproportionate fallout from the shutdowns, even traditional tracking measures like unemployment applications would only tell part of the story. Using Zotero, we tracked and captured news stories related to the evolving interests and topics, published reports of measured impacts such as women leaving the workforce , and articles which captured positive and negative depictions of women and work. Over two years we collected over 1500 news stories, with supplemental early research papers and other preliminary government reports. This dataset allows us observe trends and to explore interdisciplinary questions related to anthropology, linguistics, economics, health, and women's studies. Initial student projects have focused on the motherhood penalty and the impact of the pandemic on pregnant women. Dataset queries have also been used to examine the representation of fathers in pandemic-related news stories. Our current themes for investigation include the over-representation of women in the service industry, the conflicts between caregiving tasks and work, and the disparate news representations related to race and socioeconomic status. This presentation will introduce the #WomenLaborCOVID project and the open bibliography to discuss how others could engage with the project and the dataset, the limitations, and opportunities for this method of data capture. While the early parts of the pandemic have passed, it continues to significantly impact women’s real or perceived engagement at work and reveal the conflicts with ever growing care tasks in a world with new and continuing disease related disruptions.

Importance of Linking Inertia and Frequency Response Procurement: The Great Britain Case

description: In order to decarbonise the electricity sector, the future Great Britain (GB) power system will be largely dominated by non-synchronous renewables. This will cause low levels of inertia, a key parameter that could lead to frequency deterioration. Therefore, the requirement for ancillary services that contain frequency deviations will increase significantly, particularly given the increase in size of the largest possible loss with the commissioning of large nuclear plants in the near future. In this paper, an inertia-dependent Stochastic Unit Commitment (SUC) model is used to illustrate the benefits of linking inertia and frequency response provision in low-inertia systems. We demonstrate that the cost of procuring ancillary services in GB could increase by 165% if the level of inertia is not explicitly considered when procuring frequency response. These results highlight the need to re-think the structure of ancillary-services markets, which in GB are nowadays held one month ahead of delivery.

Our analytical and numerical analysis, based on the generalized dissipative Gross-Pitaevskii equation, makes use of the close analogy between the dynamics of a Bose-Einstein condensate and that of mode-locked fiber laser, operating in the anomalous dispersion regime. In the last case, the formation of stable two-dimensional patterns corresponds to spatiotemporal mode-locking, using dissipation-enhanced mode cleaning. We analyze the main scenarios of pattern destabilization, varying from soliton dissolution to its splitting and spatiotemporal turbulence, and their dependence on graded dissipation.

description: The exclusiveness of Gharana has made Hindustani classical music different from Carnatic and other branches of North-Indian classical music. Ragas, the integral part of Indian classical music, have been a prevailing Cultural Tradition through the expression of various musical forms. The practice of Hindustani classical music is rightly executed by the Gharana representatives and those styles have enriched Indian art and culture. There had been many native lands or estates under certain kings or rulers before their inclusion into India. Most of the rulers possessed good sense and knowledge of art and culture. The formation of Court music was the consequence of their patronage to Indian classical music and dance. Princely Tripura was also blessed with Gharana maestros along with music personalities of other genres. This article inquires about those Gharana maestros who were somehow related to the Tripura Royal Court music and any sustainable development thereof.

description: We carry out a systematical study of the spectral lag properties of 50 single-pulsed Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) detected by Fermi/GBM. By dividing the light curves into multiple consecutive energy channels we provide a new measurement of the spectral lag which is independent on energy channel selections. We perform a detailed statistical study of our new measurements. We find two similar power-law energy dependencies of both the pulse arrival time and pulse width. Our new results on the power-law indices would favor the relativistic geometric effects for the origin of spectral lag. However, a complete theoretical framework that can fully account for the diverse energy dependencies of both arrival time and pulse width revealed in this work is still missing. We also study the spectral evolution behaviors of the GRB pulses. We find that the GRB pulse with negligible spectral lag would usually have a shorter pulse duration and would appear to have a "hardness-intensity tracking" (HIT) behavior and the GRB pulse with a significant spectral lag would usually have a longer pulse duration and would appear to have a "hard-to-soft" (HTS) behavior.

The Victorian Office of the Public Advocate: a first history 1986 – 2007
Creators: name: Feigan, Mark R.
Publisher: name: La Trobe
Year: 2023

description: The Office of the Public Advocate was formed as a state instrumentality in Victoria in 1986. It was given statutory powers to protect people with disability from maltreatment, and to advance their rights and interests. Its functions included advocacy, adult guardianship and visiting of residential services. The Office‘s origins, establishment and development are investigated through an examination of key sociohistorical processes, actors and events. This is the first scholarly history of the Office. A range of sources were used. Primary sources included Australian Labor Party archives, newspaper reports, and official archives. Office publications and archives provided key material. Oral history interviews were conducted with over twenty former and current officials, activist, staff and volunteers. Oral history data, shaped by the participant‘s experiences, insights and evaluation of events, informed the analysis of the source documents. The first Public Advocate emphasised advocacy. The political and social context of the Office changed after its establishment. Deinstitutionalisation, an ageing population, and increasing individuation and social complexity led to greater demand for guardianship from the Office. The subsequent public advocates adapted the Office to these changed social conditions. During the 1990s the public advocates also had to manage the changed political context shaped by the neo-liberal government of this period. Vigorous public advocacy was de-emphasised as the constraints of its quasiindependent nature became more apparent. The government context changed again after 1999 but the new public advocate was still largely occupied with the demands of guardianship. The thesis explores these and other influences upon the development of the Office.

Generalizing the optimized gradient method for smooth convex minimization

description: This paper generalizes the optimized gradient method (OGM) that achieves the optimal worst-case cost function bound of first-order methods for smooth convex minimization. Specifically, this paper studies a generalized formulation of OGM and analyzes its worst-case rates in terms of both the function value and the norm of the function gradient. This paper also develops a new algorithm called OGM-OG that is in the generalized family of OGM and that has the best known analytical worst-case bound with rate $O(1/N^{1.5})$ on the decrease of the gradient norm among fixed-step first-order methods. This paper also proves that Nesterov's fast gradient method has an $O(1/N^{1.5})$ worst-case gradient norm rate but with constant larger than OGM-OG. The proof is based on the worst-case analysis called Performance Estimation Problem.

description: Rydberg polaritons provide an example of a rare type of system where three-body interactions can be as strong or even stronger than two-body interactions. The three-body interactions can be either dispersive or dissipative, with both types possibly giving rise to exotic, strongly-interacting, and topological phases of matter. Despite past theoretical and experimental studies of the regime with dispersive interaction, the dissipative regime is still mostly unexplored. Using a renormalization group technique to solve the three-body Schrödinger equation, we show how the shape and strength of dissipative three-body forces can be universally enhanced for Rydberg polaritons. We demonstrate how these interactions relate to the transmission through a single-mode cavity, which can be used as a probe of the three-body physics in current experiments.

description: We show that simulated relativistic motion can generate entanglement between artificial atoms and protect them from spontaneous emission. We consider a pair of superconducting qubits coupled to a resonator mode, where the modulation of the coupling strength can mimic the harmonic motion of the qubits at relativistic speeds, generating acceleration radiation. We find the optimal feasible conditions for generating a stationary entangled state between the qubits when they are initially prepared in their ground state. Furthermore, we analyze the effects of motion on the probability of spontaneous emission in the standard scenarios of single-atom and two-atom superradiance, where one or two excitations are initially present. Finally, we show that relativistic motion induces sub-radiance and can generate a Zeno-like effect, preserving the excitations from radiative decay.

description: This chapter discusses the intersection between the discourses of antislavery and of women’s rights in the aftermath of 1848. It discusses cases of women’s reception of antislavery history and cultural production in different cities: Rochester (New York), Paris, and Berlin. As the chapter shows, these efforts of reception happened across different media, including tomes like German Luise Mühlbach’s historical novel Aphra Behn (1849); the periodicals and almanacs associated with French Jeanne Deroin (1848–1853); Lucretia Mott’s speeches; and British Quaker Anne Knight’s open letters to colleagues and dignitaries (1848–1852).

description: Depending on the behaviour of the complex-valued electromagnetic potential in the neighbourhood of infinity, pseudomodes of one-dimensional Dirac operators corresponding to large pseudoeigenvalues are constructed. This is a first systematic non-semi-classical approach, which results in substantial progress in achieving optimal conditions and conclusions as well as in covering a wide class of previously inaccessible potentials, including superexponential ones.
