description: We aim to investigate the potential impacts of smart homes on human behavior. To this end, we simulate a series of human models capable of performing various activities inside a reinforcement learning-based smart home. We then investigate the possibility of human behavior being altered as a result of the smart home and the human model adapting to one-another. We design a semi-Markov decision process human task interleaving model based on hierarchical reinforcement learning that learns to make decisions to either pursue or leave an activity. We then integrate our human model in the smart home which is based on Q-learning. We show that a smart home trained on a generic human model is able to anticipate and learn the thermal preferences of human models with intrinsic rewards similar to the generic model. The hierarchical human model learns to complete each activity and set optimal thermal settings for maximum comfort. With the smart home, the number of time steps required to change the thermal settings are reduced for the human models. Interestingly, we observe that small variations in the human model reward structures can lead to the opposite behavior in the form of unexpected switching between activities which signals changes in human behavior due to the presence of the smart home.

description: Long-duration gamma-ray bursts are thought to be associated with the core-collapse of massive, rapidly spinning stars and the formation of black holes. However, efficient angular momentum transport in stellar interiors, currently supported by asteroseismic and gravitational-wave constraints, leads to predominantly slowly-spinning stellar cores. Here, we report on binary stellar evolution and population synthesis calculations, showing that tidal interactions in close binaries not only can explain the observed sub-population of spinning, merging binary black holes but also lead to long gamma-ray bursts at the time of black-hole formation. Given our model calibration against the distribution of isotropic-equivalent energies of luminous long gamma-ray bursts, we find that ~10% of the GWTC-2 reported binary black holes had a luminous long gamma-ray burst associated with their formation, with GW190517 and GW190719 having a probability of ~85% and ~60%, respectively, being among them. Moreover, given an assumption about their average beaming fraction, our model predicts the rate density of long gamma-ray bursts, as a function of redshift, originating from this channel. For a constant beaming fraction $f_\mathrm{B}\sim 0.05$ our model predicts a rate density comparable to the observed one, throughout the redshift range, while, at redshift $z \in [0,2.5]$, a tentative comparison with the metallicity distribution of observed LGRB host galaxies implies that between 20% to 85% of the observed long gamma-ray bursts may originate from progenitors of merging binary black holes. The proposed link between a potentially significant fraction of observed, luminous long gamma-ray bursts and the progenitors of spinning binary black-hole mergers allows us to probe the latter well outside the horizon of current-generation gravitational wave observatories, and out to cosmological distances.

description: We consider the effect of Planck scale operators on neutrino mixing. We assume that GUT scale operators give rise to degenerate neutrino masses with bimaximal mixing. Quantum gravity (Planck scale) effects lead to an effective SU(2)L*U(1) invariant dimension-5 Lagrangian involving neutrino and Higgs fields. This gives rise to additional terms in the neutrino mass matrix on electroweak symmetry breaking. These additional terms can be considered as a perturbation to the GUT scale bi-maximal neutrino mass matrix. We assume that the gravitational interaction is flavour blind and compute the deviations of the three neutrino mixing angles due to the Planck scale effects. We find that the changes in theta13, and theta23 are very small but the change in solar mixing angle theta12 can be as large as 3.5 degrees.

description: The purpose of this work is the achievement of environmental friendly use of the diesel engine through the proper management of its consumables, which are both fractions of crude oil, lubricant oils and diesel fuel. The collection, recycling and reuse of lubricant oils is imperative as long as we consider that one litre of lubricant oils can pollute up to one million litres of potable water. Furthermore, the continued and increasing use of diesel intensifies air pollution and magnifies the global problems caused by carbon dioxide and its other pollutants. Biodiesel fuel has the potential to reduce the level of pollutants and possible carcinogenic substances. With the above, natural resources are maintained and environmental pollution is reduced

description: We report on the detection of localized off-center emission at 1-4 AU in the circumstellar environment of the young stellar object AB Aurigae. We used closure phase measurements in the near-infrared made at the long baseline interferometer IOTA, the first obtained on a young stellar object using this technique. When probing sub-AU scales, all closure phases are close to zero degrees, as expected given the previously-determined size of the AB Aurigae inner dust disk. However, a clear closure phase signal of -3.5 +/- 0.5 degrees is detected on one triangle containing relatively short baselines, requiring a high degree of non-point symmetry from emission at larger (AU-sized) scales in the disk. We have not identified any alternative explanation for these closure phase results and demonstrate that a ``disk hot spot'' model can fit our data. We speculate that such asymmetric near-infrared emission detected might arise as a result of localized viscous heating due to a gravitational instability in the AB Aurigae disk, or to the presence of a close stellar companion or accreting sub-stellar object.

description: Searches for dark matter-induced recoils have made impressive advances in the last few years. Yet the field is confronted by several outstanding problems. First, the inevitable background of solar neutrinos will soon inhibit the conclusive identification of many dark matter models. Second, and more fundamentally, current experiments have no practical way of confirming a detected signal's galactic origin. The concept of directional detection addresses both of these issues while offering opportunities to study novel dark matter and neutrino-related physics. The concept remains experimentally challenging, but gas time projection chambers are an increasingly attractive option, and when properly configured, would allow directional measurements of both nuclear and electron recoils. In this review, we reassess the required detector performance and survey relevant technologies. Fortuitously, the highly-segmented detectors required to achieve good directionality also enable several fundamental and applied physics measurements. We comment on near-term challenges and how the field could be advanced.

New electron-proton Bremsstrahlung rates for a hot plasma where the electron temperature is much smaller than the proton temperature

description: Context: Observations of X-Ray sources harbouring a black hole and an accretion disc show the presence of at least two spectral components. One component is black-body radiation from an optically thick standard accretion disc. The other is produced in a optically thin corona and usually shows a powerlaw behaviour. Electron-proton (ep) bremsstrahlung is one of the contributing radiation mechanisms in the corona. Soft photons from the optically thick disc can Compton cool the electrons in the corona and therefore lead to a two-temperature plasma, where electrons and ions have different temperatures. Aims: We qualitatively discuss effects on ep-bremsstrahlung in the presence of such a two-temperature plasma. Methods: We use the classical dipole approximation allowing for non-relativistic electrons and protons and apply quantum corrections through high-precision Gaunt factors. Results: In the two-temperature case (T_e< T_p) the protons cause a significant fraction of the ep-bremsstrahlung if their speed is high compared to the electrons. We give accurate values for ep-bremsstrahlung including quantum-mechanical corrections in the non-relativistic limit and give some approximations in the relativistic limit. Conclusions: The formulae presented in this paper can be used in models of black hole accretion discs where an optically thin corona can comprise a two-temperature plasma. This work could be extended to include the fully relativistic case if required.

description: Self-assembly of Janus (or `patchy') particles is dependent on the precise interaction between neighbouring particles. Here, the orientations of two amphiphilic Janus spheres within a dimer in an explicit fluid are studied with high geometric resolution. Molecular dynamics simulations and first-principles energy calculations are used with hard- and soft-sphere Lennard-Jones potentials, and temperature and hydrophobicity are varied. The most probable centre-centre-pole angles are in the range 40° to 55°, with pole-to-pole alignment not observed due to orientational entropy. Angles near 90° are energetically unfavoured due to solvent exclusion, and we unexpectedly found that the relative azimuthal angle between the spheres is affected by solvent ordering.

description: The destruction of quantum-mechanical phase coherence by a fluctuating quantum bath has been investigated mostly for a single particle. However, for electronic transport through disordered samples and mesoscopic interference setups, we have to treat a many-fermion system subject to a quantum bath. Here, we review a novel technique for treating this situation in the case of ballistic interferometers, and discuss its application to the electronic Mach-Zehnder setup. We use the results to bring out the main features of decoherence in a many-fermion system, and briefly discuss the same ideas in the context of weak localization.

Nature of polaron-molecule transition in Fermi polarons

description: In this work, we explore the polaron and molecule physics by utilizing a unified variational ansatz with up to two particle-hole(p-h) excitations(V-2ph). We confirm the existence of a first-order transition in 3D and 2D Fermi polarons, and show that the nature of such transition lies in an energy competition between systems with different momenta ${\mathbf Q}=0$ and $|{\mathbf Q}|=k_F$, here ${\mathbf Q}$ is defined as the momentum of Fermi polaron system with respect to the Fermi sea of majority fermions (with Fermi momentum $k_F$). The literally proposed molecule ansatz is identified as an asymptotic limit of $|{\mathbf Q}|=k_F$ state in strong coupling regime, which implies a huge $SO(3)$(for 3D) or $SO(2)$ (for 2D) ground state degeneracy in this regime. The recognization of such degeneracy is crucially important for evaluating the molecule occupation in realistic systems with finite impurity density and at finite temperature. To compare with recent experiment of 3D Fermi polarons, we have calculated various physical quantities under the V-2ph framework and obtained results that are in good agreements with experimental data in the weak coupling and near resonance regime. Further, to check the validity of our conclusion in 2D, we have adopted a different variational method based on the Gaussian sample of high-order p-h excitations(V-Gph), and found the same conclusion on the nature of polaron-molecule transition therein. For 1D system, the V-2ph method predicts no sharp transition and the ground state is always at ${\mathbf Q}=0$ sector, consistent with exact Bethe ansatz solution. The presence/absence of polaron-molecule transition is analyzed to be closely related to the interplay effect of Pauli-blocking and p-h excitations in different dimensions.

description: We investigate analytically, numerically, and experimentally the modulational instability in a layered, cubically-nonlinear (Kerr) optical medium that consists of alternating layers of glass and air. We model this setting using a nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation with a piecewise constant nonlinearity coefficient and conduct a theoretical analysis of its linear stability, obtaining a Kronig-Penney equation whose forbidden bands correspond to the modulationally unstable regimes. We find very good {\it quantitative} agreement between the theoretical analysis of the Kronig-Penney equation, numerical simulations of the NLS equation, and the experimental results for the modulational instability. Because of the periodicity in the evolution variable arising from the layered medium, we find multiple instability regions rather than just the one that would occur in uniform media.

description: Metal--insulator transitions and transitions between different quantum Hall liquids are used to describe the physical ideas forming the basis of quantum phase transitions and the methods of application of theoretical results in processing experimental data. The following two theoretical schemes are discussed and compared: the general theory of quantum phase transitions, which has been developed according to the theory of thermodynamic phase transitions and relies on the concept of a partition function, and a theory which is based on a scaling hypothesis and the renormalization-group concept borrowed from quantum electrodynamics, with the results formulated in terms of flow diagrams.

Relativistic Rotation: A Comparison of Theories

Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Alternative theories of relativistic rotation considered viable as of 2004 are compared in the light of experiments reported in 2005. En route, the contentious issue of simultaneity choice in rotation is resolved by showing that only one simultaneity choice, the one possessing continuous time, gives rise, via the general relativistic equation of motion, to the correct Newtonian limit Coriolis acceleration. In addition, the widely dispersed argument purporting Lorentz contraction in rotation and the concomitant curved surface of a rotating disk is analyzed and argued to be lacking for more than one reason. It is posited that not by theoretical arguments, but only via experiment can we know whether such effect exists in rotation or not. The Coriolis/simultaneity correlation, and the results of the 2005 experiments, support the Selleri theory as being closest to the truth, though it is incomplete in a more general applicability sense, because it does not provide a global metric. Two alternatives, a modified Klauber approach and a Selleri-Klauber hybrid, are presented which are consistent with recent experiment and have a global metric, thereby making them applicable to rotation problems of all types.

description: Electroencephalography (EEG) signals elicited by multimodal stimuli can drive brain-computer interfaces (BCIs), and research has demonstrated that visual and auditory stimuli can be employed simultaneously to improve BCI performance. However, no studies have investigated the effect of multimodal stimuli in rapid serial visual presentation (RSVP) BCIs. In the present study, we propose a rapid serial multimodal presentation (RSMP) BCI that incorporates artificial facial images and artificial voice stimuli. To clarify the effect of audiovisual stimuli on the RSMP BCI, scrambled images and masked sounds were applied instead of visual and auditory stimuli, respectively. Our findings indicated that the audiovisual stimuli improved the performance of the RSMP BCI, and that the P300 at Pz contributed to classification accuracy. Online accuracy of BCI reached 85.7+-11.5%. Taken together, these findings may aid in the development of better gaze-independent BCI systems.

description: Estimating the fidelity of state preparation in multi-qubit systems is generally a time-consuming task. Nevertheless, this complexity can be reduced if the desired state can be characterized by certain symmetries measurable with the corresponding experimental setup. In this paper we give simple expressions to estimate the fidelity of multi-qubit state preparation for rotational-invariant, stabilizer, and generalized coherent states. We specifically discuss the cat, W-type, and generalized coherent states, and obtain efficiently measurable lower bounds for the fidelity. We use these techniques to estimate the fidelity of a quantum simulation of an Ising-like interacting model using two trapped ions. These results are directly applicable to experiments using fidelity-based entanglement witnesses, such as quantum simulations and quantum computation.

description: Background and rationale: Heart failure (HF), which is an emerging public health issue, adversely affects the strained health system in India. The potential adverse impact of HF on the economic well-being of affected individuals and their families is narrated in various anecdotal reports. Further, HF is known to push the affected individuals and their dependents into poverty. However, there is limited research quantifying how HF impacts the economic well-being of households from the low and middle-income countries. Methods: We describe the methods of a detailed economic impact assessment of HF at the household level in India. The economic impact study in HF is initiated across 20 centres in India. The selected centres represent different regions in India stratified based on the prevailing stage of epidemiological transition levels (ETLs). We will collect data from 1800 patients with acute decompensated HF and within 6-15 months of follow-up from the time of initial admission. The data that we intend to collect will consist of a) household healthcare expenditure including out-of-pocket expenditure, b) financing mechanisms used by households and (c) the impoverishing effects of health expenditures including distress financing and catastrophic health expenditure. Trained staff at each centre will collect relevant data by using a validated and structured interview schedule. The study will have 80% power, after accounting for five percent non-response rate, to test eight percent difference in primary outcome (proportion of families under distress financing) between different ETLs. Impact: The results from the study will help policy makers in understanding the micro-economic impact of HF in India and aid in allocation of appropriate resources for prevention and control of HF.

description: We discuss a particular non-relativistic limit of NS-NS gravity that can be taken at the level of the action and equations of motion, without imposing any geometric constraints by hand. This relies on the fact that terms that diverge in the limit and that come from the Vielbein in the Einstein-Hilbert term and from the kinetic term of the Kalb-Ramond two-form field cancel against each other. This cancelling of divergences is the target space analogue of a similar cancellation that takes place at the level of the string sigma model between the Vielbein in the kinetic term and the Kalb-Ramond field in the Wess-Zumino term. The limit of the equations of motion leads to one equation more than the limit of the action, due to the emergence of a local target space scale invariance in the limit. Some of the equations of motion can be solved by scale invariant geometric constraints. These constraints define a so-called Dilatation invariant String Newton-Cartan geometry.

description: Measurements of electrodynamic response of of spin glass AuFe films in comparison with pure gold films are performed at frequencies from 0.3 THz (10 cm-1) up to 1000 THz (33000 cm-1) using different spectroscopic methods. At room temperatures the spectra of pure gold and of AuFe are typically metallic with the scattering rate of carriers in AuFe being significantly enlarged due to scattering on localized magnetic moments of Fe ions. In the spin-glass phase of AuFe at T = 5 K a pseudogap in the conductivity spectrum is detected with the magnitude close to the Ruderman-Kittel-Kasuya-Yosida (RKKY) energy for AuFe: Delta(RKKY) = 2.2 meV. The origin of the pseudogap is associated with partial localization of electrons which mediate the RKKY interaction between localized magnetic Fe centers.

Special attention is given to the QCD critical end point (CEP): the study of physical quantities, as the pressure, the entropy, the baryon number susceptibility and the specific heat near the CEP, will provide complementary information concerning the order of the phase transition. We also analyze the information provided by the study of the critical exponents around the CEP.

description: There are two natural Chern-Simons theories associated with the embedding of a three-dimensional surface in Euclidean space; one is constructed using the induced metric connection -- it involves only the intrinsic geometry, the other is extrinsic and uses the connection associated with the gauging of normal rotations. As such, the two theories appear to describe very different aspects of the surface geometry. Remarkably, at a classical level, they are equivalent. In particular, it will be shown that their stress tensors differ only by a null contribution. Their Euler-Lagrange equations provide identical constraints on the normal curvature. A new identity for the Cotton tensor is associated with the triviality of the Chern-Simons theory for embedded hypersurfaces implied by this equivalence. The corresponding null surface stress capturing this information will be constructed explicitly.

description: We explore the obsevability of extra dimensions through 5-dimensional squashed Kaluza-Klein black holes residing in the Kaluza-Klein spacetime. With the expectation that the Hawking radiation reflects the 5-dimensional nature of the squashed horizon, we study the Hawking radiation of a scalar field in the squashed black hole background. As a result, we show that the luminosity of Hawking radiation tells us the size of the extra dimension, namely, the squashed Kaluza-Klein black holes open a window to extra dimensions.

description: The swelling dynamics of polymer gels are characterized by the (collective) diffusion coefficient $D$ of the polymer network. Here, we measure the temperature dependence of $D$ of polymer gels with controlled homogeneous network structures using dynamic light scattering. An evaluation of the diffusion coefficient at the gelation point $D_{\mathrm{gel}}$ and the increase therein as the gelation proceeds $ΔD\equiv D-D_{\mathrm{gel}}$ indicates that $ΔD$ is a linear function of the absolute temperature with a significantly large negative constant term. This feature is formally identical to the recently discovered "negative energy elasticity" [Y. Yoshikawa et al., Phys. Rev. X 11, 011045 (2021) (arXiv:1912.13191)], demonstrating a nontrivial similarity between the statics and dynamics of polymer networks.
