description: Recent negotiations between surface water and groundwater users in Idaho highlight a potential mechanism to resolve costly conflict that has arisen in many areas of the western U.S. where surface and groundwater resources are hydraulically connected. This article studies this type of agreement by developing a simple, dynamic model of cooperative bargaining between surface and groundwater users. The model reflects the potential gains to both types of water users from bargaining over a sustained reduction in groundwater pumping to increase surface water flows. In a non-cooperative setting, surface water users choose the groundwater pumping reduction to maximize their net production rents, but doing so is costly, which creates an incentive for surface water users to negotiate with groundwater users. With the theoretical model, we demonstrate that the Nash bargaining path of curtailments is lower than that in the non-cooperative outcome, but that it may be larger or smaller than the first-best outcome. The difference between the bargaining and first-best outcomes depends on the efficiency of groundwater irrigation and the relative bargaining power of surface water and groundwater users. In a numerical simulation, we show that when surface water users possess greater bargaining influence, the bargaining solution involves larger curtailments than is socially optimal and an improvement in irrigation efficiency drives the bargaining solution closer to the non-cooperative outcome. Conversely, when groundwater users possess greater bargaining influence, curtailments are lower than the socially optimal level and an improvement in efficiency drives the bargaining solution closer to the firstbest.

description: We present a model to take into account the interface defects contribution on the binding energy of charged exciton in GaAs/Al$_{0.3}$Ga$_{0.7}$As quantum wells. The dependence of the binding energy gain and of the trion size on the quantum well width are variationally calculated. We show that the trion is more sensitive to interface defects than the exciton.

title: Valley-filters using kink states in bilayer graphene
Creators: name: Prikoszovich, Konrad
Publisher: name: TU Wien
Year: 2022
Subjects: subject: Graphene
subject: Quantum transport
subject: Green's functions

description: The topic of this thesis is on quantum transport calculations through so-called ‘kink’states in graphene systems. These states allow us to filter electrons according to their valley index. The valley index is a quantum number that exists in graphene systems. It has two configurations similar to the electron spin. The kink states only allow electrons from one of the two valleys to pass, while electrons from the other valley are not allowed to enter the state. We use these kink states to calculate the transport properties of three different mesoscopic devices: the valley filter, the valley valve and the valley-Y junction.The valley filter only allows electrons from one valley to pass and creates a valley polarised current. The valley valve consists of two valley filters connected in series. By changing which valley electrons can enter the second filter, we can control the current through this device. An electron can either pass through the valley valve or not. In the valley Y-junction, the different electron channels form a Y. This device creates two oppositely polarised electron currents from an unpolarised current.

description: We investigate the leading effects of extending the Standard Model of electroweak interactions by an extra iso-singlet up- and down- type quark pair on various distributions and total branching ratio of the inclusive B-> X_s l^+ l^- (l =e,μ) rare B decays. The presence of the extra vector-like down quark $D$ results in the non-unitarity of the extended quark mixing matrix V, which in turn leads to b-> s FCNC at the tree level proportional to (V^\dagger V)_{sb}. On the other hand, the effective penguin and box vertex functions are sensitive to the mass of the extra iso-singlet up quark m_U. The experimental upper bound on BR(B-> X_s μ^+ μ^-) is used to constrain the parameters of the model. It is shown that the shapes of the differential branching ratio and forward-backward asymmetry distribution are very sensitive to the value of the model parameters. We also calculate the CP aymmetry distribution of the dileptonic decay in the vector-like quark model. It is shown that, for a typical choice of the model parameters, asymmetries up to around 10% can be achieved for certain values of the dilepton invariant mass.

description: Abstract: By extending the concept of energy-constrained diamond norms, we obtain continuity bounds on the dynamics of both closed and open quantum systems in infinite dimensions, which are stronger than previously known bounds. We extensively discuss applications of our theory to quantum speed limits, attenuator and amplifier channels, the quantum Boltzmann equation, and quantum Brownian motion. Next, we obtain explicit log-Lipschitz continuity bounds for entropies of infinite-dimensional quantum systems, and classical capacities of infinite-dimensional quantum channels under energy-constraints. These bounds are determined by the high energy spectrum of the underlying Hamiltonian and can be evaluated using Weyl’s law.

Three directions are investigated: Reducible and two types of irreducible second-order transformations. The irreducible transformations of the first type give singular intermediate potentials and the ones of the second type give complex-valued intermediate potentials while final potentials are meaningful in all cases. These developments are illustrated on the so-called radial sextic oscillator.

description: Vitrimer is a new type of material that combine the advantages of thermoplastic and thermoset materials. The rapid dynamic exchange reactions at high temperature allow the topology of cross-linked networks to change and rearrange while keeping material structures and properties intact. The concept of vitrimer has emerged to provide a viable strategy for the recycling of high-performance polymer materials, and lots of research works have been carried out for the development of various types of vitrimers. In addition, the recycling strategies for vitrimers are particularly important to determine the performance and potential applications of the recovered materials. Therefore, it is an innovative and valuable perspective to discuss vitrimer materials according to their different recycling strategies. In this review, we start with a brief overview of vitrimers, and then, focus on recycling strategies for vitrimers. Specifically, we highlight the advantages and disadvantages of the two different recycling strategies: physical and chemical recycling methods, and then explore the feasibility of upcycling vitrimers using 3D printing technology. Finally, the impact of recycling strategies on vitrimer materials and the prospects for maximizing the use of vitrimer materials are discussed.

description: In this paper, we scrutinize the ability of seniority-zero wavefunction-based methods to model different types of non-covalent interactions, such as hydrogen bonds, dispersion, and mixed non-covalent interactions as well as prototypical model systems with various contributions of dynamic and static electron correlation effects. Specifically, we focus on the pair Coupled-Cluster Doubles (pCCD) ansatz combined with two different flavours of dynamic energy corrections, (i) based on a perturbation theory correction and (ii) on a linearized coupled-cluster ansatz on top of pCCD. We benchmark these approaches against the A24 data set [Řez{á}{č} and Hobza, J.~Chem.~Theory~Comput., 9, 2151-2155 (2013)] extrapolated to the basis set limit and some model non-covalent complexes that feature covalent bond breaking. By dissecting different types of interactions in the A24 data set within the Symmetry-Adapted Perturbation Theory (SAPT) framework, we demonstrate that pCCD can be classified as a dispersion-free method. Furthermore, we found that both flavours of post-pCCD approaches represent encouraging and computationally more efficient alternatives to standard electronic structure methods to model weakly-bound systems, resulting in small statistical errors. Finally, a linearized coupled cluster correction on top of pCCD proved to be most reliable for the majority of investigated systems, featuring smaller non-parallelity errors compared to perturbation-theory-based approaches.

description: Countries that seek to provide universal health coverage deal with considerable publicly funded expenses. This article discusses if a private health insurance subsidy policy can reduce the expenses covered by the public system. A theoretical model is developed in which individuals are characterized by two dimensions: inherited risk of illness and preferences for prevention activities. It is shown that when beneficiaries of a voluntary plan have lower risk, i.e. advantageous selection scenario, a subsidy raises heath expenses if articulation between coverage is complementary. On the contrary, in adverse selection scenarios a subsidy reduces expenditure if articulation is supplementary. Intermediate scenarios are also considered where articulations between coverages have both complementary and supplementary components, which is apparently the case for the Colombian health system. Calibrated numerical simulations are provided using the Colombian system data. The calibration strategy employed reveals that selection is adverse in the Colombian voluntary health insurance market. Furthermore, we identify the level of subsidy and changes in articulation (towards supplementarity) that could lead to a reduction in public spending.
A Grand Canonical Ensemble Approach to the Thermodynamic Properties of the Nucleon in the Quark-Gluon Coupling Model

description: In this paper, we put forward a way to study the nucleon's thermodynamic properties such as its temperature, entropy and so on, without inputting any free parameters by human hand, even the nucleon's mass and radius. First we use the Lagrangian density of the quark gluon coupling fields to deduce the Dirac Equation of the quarks confined in the gluon fields. By boundary conditions we solve the wave functions and energy eigenvalues of the quarks, and thus get energy-momentum tensor, nucleon mass, and density of states. Then we utilize a hybrid grand canonical ensemble, to generate the temperature and chemical potentials of quarks, antiquarks of three flovars by the four conservation laws of the energy and the valence quark numbers, after which, all other thermodynamic properties are known. The only seemed free paremeter, the nucleon radius is finally determined by the grand potential minimal principle.

description: Abstract: Background: Osteoarthritis is generally a slowly progressive disorder. However, at least 1 in 7 people with incident knee osteoarthritis develop an abrupt progression to advanced-stage radiographic disease, many within 12 months. We summarize what is known – primarily based on findings from the Osteoarthritis Initiative – about the risk factors and natural history of accelerated knee osteoarthritis (AKOA) – defined as a transition from no radiographic knee osteoarthritis to advanced-stage disease < 4 years – and put these findings in context with typical osteoarthritis (slowly progressing disease), aging, prior case reports/series, and relevant animal models. Summary: Risk factors in the 2 to 4 years before radiographic manifestation of AKOA (onset) include older age, higher body mass index, altered joint alignment, contralateral osteoarthritis, greater pre-radiographic disease burden (structural, symptoms, and function), or low fasting glucose. One to 2 years before AKOA onset people often exhibit rapid articular cartilage loss, larger bone marrow lesions and effusion-synovitis, more meniscal pathology, slower chair-stand or walking pace, and increased global impact of arthritis than adults with typical knee osteoarthritis. Increased joint symptoms predispose a person to new joint trauma, which for someone who develops AKOA is often characterized by a destabilizing meniscal tear (e.g., radial or root tear). One in 7 people with AKOA onset subsequently receive a knee replacement during a 9-year period. The median time from any increase in radiographic severity to knee replacement is only 2.3 years. Despite some similarities, AKOA is different than other rapidly progressive arthropathies and collapsing these phenomena together or extracting results from one type of osteoarthritis to another should be avoided until further research comparing these types of osteoarthritis is conducted. Animal models that induce meniscal damage in the presence of other risk factors or create an incongruent distribution of loading on joints create an accelerated form of osteoarthritis compared to other models and may offer insights into AKOA. Conclusion: Accelerated knee osteoarthritis is unique from typical knee osteoarthritis. The incidence of AKOA in the Osteoarthritis Initiative and Chingford Study is substantial. AKOA needs to be taken into account and studied in epidemiologic studies and clinical trials.
Flavor techniques for LFV processes: Higgs decays in a general seesaw model

description: Lepton flavor violating processes are optimal observables to test new physics, since they are forbidden in the Standard Model while they may be generated in new theories. The usual approach to these processes is to perform the computations in the physical basis; nevertheless this may lose track of the dependence on some of the fundamental parameters, in particular on those at the origin of the flavor violation. Consequently, in order to obtain analytical expressions directly in terms of these parameters, flavor techniques are often preferred. In this work, we focus on the mass insertion approximation technique, which works with the interaction states instead of the physical ones, and provides diagrammatic expansions of the observables. After reviewing the basics of this technique with two simple examples, we apply it to the lepton flavor violating Higgs decays in the framework of a general type-I seesaw model with an arbitrary number of right-handed neutrinos. We derive an effective vertex valid to compute these observables when the right-handed neutrino masses are above the electroweak scale and show that we recover previous results obtained for low scale seesaws. Finally, we apply current constraints on the model to conclude on maximum Higgs decay rates, which unfortunately are far from current experimental sensitivities.

description: Abstract: We study a special running vacuum model (RVM) with Λ=3αH2+3βH04H-2+Λ0, where α, β and Λ0 are the model parameters and H is the Hubble one. This RVM has non-analytic background solutions for the energy densities of matter and radiation, which can only be evaluated numerically. From the analysis of the CMB power spectrum and baryon acoustic oscillation along with the prior of α>0 to avoid having a negative dark energy density, we find that α<2.83×10-4 and β=(-0.2-4.5+3.9)×10-4 (95% C.L.). We show that the RVM fits the cosmological data comparably to the ΛCDM. In addition, we relate the fluctuation amplitude σ8 to the neutrino mass sum Σmν.

We use precipitation and distance to monitoring stations as instruments for pollution. We found that the monthly benefits of compliance with the U.S Environmental Pollution Agency standard (50 mg/m3 – annual average), and the far more stringent World Health Organization standard (20 mg/m3 – annual average) are U$7.12 and U$72.91per household respectively. Accordingly, these values represent about 1% and 8% of the average household income.

We detect negative specific heat when the interactions become long-ranged ($0\le α/d<1$).

description: We consider a model for neutralino dark matter candidates arising in anomaly-mediated supersymmetry breaking schemes, and examine its testability through the search for exotic cosmic rays produced by neutralino pair annihilations in the dark halo of the Galaxy. We find that the model is already constrained by available antiprotons and positrons measurements and may be further tested in upcoming measurements of these cosmic ray species. We show also that the monochromatic gamma-ray flux from neutralino annihilations is enhanced in this model up to two orders of magnitude with respect to alternative scenarios. The gamma-ray flux detected by the Energetic Gamma Ray Experiment Telescope in the direction of the Galactic center exceeds significantly the theoretical expectation of standard emission models. We prove that if at least 10% of this excess is due to gamma-ray radiation with continuum energy spectrum from neutralino annihilations in the model under investigation, the associated gamma-ray line will be detected by upcoming gamma-ray experiments.

description: We have calculated the migration barriers for surface diffusion on Tungsten. Our results form a self-sufficient parameterization for Kinetic Monte Carlo simulations of arbitrarily rough atomic tungsten surfaces, as well as nanostructures such as nanotips and nanoclusters. The parameterization includes first- and second-nearest neighbour atom jump processes, as well as a third-nearest neighbour exchange process. The migration energy barriers of all processes are calculated with the Nudged Elastic Band method. The same attempt frequency for all processes is found sufficient and the value is fitted to Molecular Dynamics simulations. The model is validated by correctly simulating with Kinetic Monte Carlo the energetically favourable W nanocluster shapes, in good agreement with Molecular Dynamics simulations.

description: Abstract: We show that any determination of the strong coupling αs from a process which depends on parton distributions, such as hadronic processes or deep-inelastic scattering, generally does not lead to a correct result unless the parton distributions (PDFs) are determined simultaneously along with αs. We establish the result by first showing an explicit example, and then arguing that the example is representative of a generic situation which we explain using models for the shape of equal χ2 contours in the joint space of αs and the PDF parameters.

description: The exact reduced dynamics for the independent oscillator model in the RWA approximation at zero and finite temperatures is derived. It is shown that the information about the interaction and the environment is encapsulated into three time dependent coefficients of the master equation, one of which vanishes in the zero temperature case. In currently used optical cavities all the information about the field dynamics is contained into {\it two} (or three) experimentally accesible and physically meaningful real functions of time. From the phenomenological point of view it suffices then to carefully measure two ({\it three}) adequate observables in order to map the evolution of any initial condition, as shown with several examples: (generalized) coherent states, Fock states, Schrödinger cat states, and squeezed states.

Progressive supranuclear palsy

description: Funder: PSP Association; doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.13039/100011707
description: Abstract: Objectives: Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) is characterized by deposition of straight filament tau aggregates in the grey matter (GM) of deep nuclei and cerebellum. We examined the relationship between tau pathology (assessed via 18F-AV1451 PET) and multimodal MRI imaging using GM volume, cortical thickness (CTh), and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI). Methods: Twenty-three people with clinically probable PSP-Richardson’s syndrome (age 68.8 ± 5.8 years, 39% female) and 23 controls underwent structural 3 T brain MRI including DTI. Twenty-one patients also had 18F-AV1451 PET imaging. Voxelwise volume-based morphometry, surface-based morphometry, and DTI correlations were performed with 18F-AV1451 binding in typical PSP regions of interest (putamen, thalamus and dentate cerebellum). Clinical impairment was also assessed in relation to the different imaging modalities. Results: PSP subjects showed GM volume loss in frontotemporal regions, basal ganglia, midbrain, and cerebellum (FDR-corrected p < 0.05), reduced CTh in the left entorhinal and fusiform gyrus (p < 0.001) as well as DTI changes in the corpus callosum, internal capsule, and superior longitudinal fasciculus (FWE-corrected p < 0.05). In PSP, higher 18F-AV1451 binding correlated with GM volume loss in frontal regions, DTI changes in motor tracts, and cortical thinning in parietooccipital areas. Cognitive impairment was related to decreased GM volume in frontotemporal regions, thalamus and pallidum, as well as DTI alteration in corpus callosum and cingulum. Conclusion: This cross-sectional study demonstrates an association between in vivo proxy measures of tau pathology and grey and white matter degeneration in PSP. This adds to the present literature about the complex interplay between structural changes and protein deposition.

description: We present a methodology based on \textit{ex-situ} (post-growth) electrochemistry to control the oxygen concentration in thin films of the superconducting oxide La$_2$CuO$_{4+y}$ grown epitaxially on substrates of isostructural LaSrAlO$_4$. The superconducting transition temperature, which depends on the oxygen concentration, can be tuned by adjusting the pH level of the base solution used for the electrochemical reaction. As our main finding, we demonstrate that the dopant oxygens can either occupy the interstitial layer in an orientationally disordered state or organize into a crystalline phase via a mechanism in which dopant oxygens are inserted into the substrate, changing the lattice symmetry of both the substrate and the epitaxial film. We discuss this mechanism, and describe the resulting methodology as a platform to be explored in thin films of other transition metal oxides.

description: Rice is an irrigated crop, and irrigated crops are more insulated against yield risk than non-irrigated crops. However, rice is largely dependent on energy related inputs like fuel and fertilizer and suffers from systemic risks caused by increasing energy related input costs. The USDA Risk Management Agency (RMA) is making available a new insurance product to rice producers in 2016 called Margin Protection (MP). Margin Protection provides coverage against an unexpected decrease in operating margin resulting from increased input costs. Thls study used simulation to evaluate stochastic indemnities generated by MP at various coverage levels ranging from 70 to 90 percent for three major rice counties in Arkansas. Multivariate empirical distributions of county yields, margin rice prices and prices for allowed margin inputs were simulated. The likelihood of receiving indemnities under MP was small for 70 and 75 percent coverage levels based on our simulated results. Indemnity probabilities were 0.8, 5.2, and 18 percent for Arkansas County at MP coverage levels of 80, 85, and 95 percent, respectively. Indemnity probabilities for Poinsett and Desha Counties were higher at the 80, 85, and 90 percent MP coverage levels (6, 18.8, and 31.9 percent respectively for Poinsette; 6.6, 16.8, and 34.6 percent respectively for Desha). The higher probabilities of indemnities in Poinsett and Desha counties may be due to higher variability in yields for those counties.
