description: We provide a novel framework to compute a discrete vector potential of a given discrete vector field on arbitrary polyhedral meshes. The framework exploits the concept of acyclic matching, a combinatorial tool at the core of discrete Morse theory. We introduce the new concept of complete acyclic matchings and we show that they give the same end result of Gaussian elimination. Basically, instead of doing costly row and column operations on a sparse matrix, we compute equivalent cheap combinatorial operations that preserve the underlying sparsity structure. Currently, the most efficient algorithms proposed in literature to find discrete vector potentials make use of tree-cotree techniques. We show that they compute a special type of complete acyclic matchings. Moreover, we show that the problem of computing them is equivalent to the problem of deciding whether a given mesh has a topological property called collapsibility. This fact gives a topological characterization of well-known termination problems of tree-cotree techniques. We propose a new recursive algorithm to compute discrete vector potentials. It works directly on basis elements of $1$- and $2$-chains by performing elementary Gaussian operations on them associated with acyclic matchings. However, the main novelty is that it can be applied recursively. Indeed, the recursion process allows us to sidetrack termination problems of the standard tree-cotree techniques. We tested the algorithm on pathological triangulations with known topological obstructions. In all tested problems we observe linear computational complexity as a function of mesh size. Moreover, the algorithm is purely graph-based so it is straightforward to implement and does not require specialized external procedures. We believe that our framework could offer new perspectives to sparse matrix computations.

description: The RFK Stadium is a 50-year-old building that is planned to be demolished by 2021. The building is deteriorating more over time. The cost of maintenance and utilities is 3.5 million dollars per year without creating revenue. But, once the stadium is gone, the entire RFK Campus (190 acres) becomes available. Currently, 167 acres are covered to asphalt. But, despite current plans that propose sport facilities, this thesis explores the dedication of the RFK campus for housing. First, it examines past and present planning efforts in order to draw principles of design. Second, it provides an analysis of the site with its benefits and constraints. Third, it studies successful cases as precedents. Finally, it proposes a master plan for the RFK Campus covering housing, institutional buildings, monuments, and parks.

By its ideal definition, lemmatization is a process wherein the inflectional and variant forms of a word are reduced to their lemma: their base form, or dictionary look-up form. When one lemmatizes a text, one replaces each individual word in that text with its lemma; a text in English which has been lemmatized, then, would contain all forms of a verb represented by its infinitive, all forms of a noun by its nominative singular, and so forth.[1]

description: The focus on dark matter search has expanded to include low-mass particles such as axions or axion-like particles, and novel theoretical schemes extending the phenomenological landscape, within QCD and beyond, also garnered additional interest in recent decades. Assuming dark matter is composed of axions, in presence of a solenoidal magnetic field, they induce a displacement current that gives rise to a toroidal magnetic field. The Weakly Interacting Slender Particle detection with LC circuit (WISPLC) is a precision direct detection experiment that will search for light dark matter candidates such as axion-like particles in parts of the parameter space previously unexplored. We present two detection schemes of the signal in a pickup loop capturing the flux of this toroidal magnetic field. WISPLC operates in a broadband and a resonant scheme where a LC circuit is used to enhance the signal with an expected Q factor $\sim 10^4$. Taking into account the irreducible flux noise of the detector, we estimate the sensitivity of the experiment in the axion mass range between $10^{-11}$ eV and $10^{-6}$ eV to reach a detectable axion-photon coupling of $g_{aγγ}\approx 10^{-15}~\mathrm{GeV}^{-1}$, making it possible to probe mass ranges corresponding to ultralight axions motivated by string theory. The WISPLC experiment is fully funded and currently in the construction phase.

description: Narrow-gap rare-earth Zintl phases frequently exhibit fascinating physical phenomena due to their various crystal structures, complex magnetic properties, and tunable transport behaviors. Here we report the synthesis, magnetic, thermodynamic, and transport properties of a Eu-containing Zintl arsenide, Eu$_{11}$Zn$_6$As$_{12}$, which consists of infinite chains of Eu cations and anionic frameworks constructed from corner-sharing ZnAs$_4$ tetrahedra. Eu$_{11}$Zn$_6$As$_{12}$ exhibits complicated magnetic behavior owing to intricate exchange interactions mediated by the discrete anionic fragments. Two long-range magnetic transitions at 22 K ($T_\mathrm{N}$) and 9 K ($T^*$), as well as exceptionally strong ferromagnetic fluctuations around 29 K ($T_\mathrm{F}$), are indicated by the susceptibility, heat capacity and resistivity measurements. Besides, Eu$_{11}$Zn$_6$As$_{12}$ displays metallic behavior, attributable to the hole carriers doped by slight Eu vacancies or the mixed valence of Eu$^{2+}$ and Eu$^{3+}$. A prominent resistivity peak occurs around $T_\mathrm{N}$, which is rapidly suppressed by the applied field, leading to a prominent negative magnetoresistance effect. A resistivity hysteresis is observed below 5 K, caused by a small net ferromagnetic component. Our study presents the distinct magnetic and transport properties of Eu$_{11}$Zn$_6$As$_{12}$, and further experiments are required to elucidate the origin of these novel behaviors. Moreover, our findings demonstrate that Eu-based Zintl phases are a fertile ground to study the interplay between magnetism and charge transport.

description: Analytical understanding of how low-dimensional latent features reveal themselves in large-dimensional data is still lacking. We study this by defining a linear latent feature model with additive noise constructed from probabilistic matrices, and analytically and numerically computing the statistical distributions of pairwise correlations and eigenvalues of the correlation matrix. This allows us to resolve the latent feature structure across a wide range of data regimes set by the number of recorded variables, observations, latent features and the signal-to-noise ratio. We find a characteristic imprint of latent features in the distribution of correlations and eigenvalues and provide an analytic estimate for the boundary between signal and noise even in the absence of a clear spectral gap.

description: We predict the existence of double-flattop quantum droplets in atomic Bose-Bose mixtures. Solutions of this type have two flattop regions of nearly uniform atomic density corresponding to a compressed central core surrounded by a rarefied layer. The birth of these double-flattop quantum droplets is analytically described using a perturbation theory, which in the leading order reduces the problem to the cubic nonlinear Schrödinger equation. Its properties are then used to predict the shape of double-flattop solutions and draw the conclusions about their stability. The analytical results apply to one- and multidimensional quantum droplets, provided that the energy density satisfies certain conditions. Using the numerical continuation from the asymptotic limit, we obtain the families of one- and two-dimensional double flattop quantum droplets and confirm the stability of the nodeless states of this type.

Top Quark Spin Correlations with the CMS Detector

Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School
Year: 2023
Subjects: classificationCode: 510703
subject: Particle physics

description: This dissertation presents precision measurements of top quark polarizations and top quark pair spin correlations, which probe the independent coefficients of the top-spin components of the top quark pair production density matrix, targeting all channels (ee, eµ,  µµ) of the top quark pair dileptonic decay mode with final states containing two oppositely charged leptons, and using 137.7 fb⁻¹ of data recorded by the CMS experiment at the LHC with 13 TeV center-of-mass energy, during 2016, 2017, and 2018.
All measured observables are corrected for detector efficiencies, acceptances, and migrations, unfolded to parton-level, and extrapolated to the full phase space using a regularized unfolding procedure.
Spin-density coefficients are extracted from the unfolded distributions and compared to theoretical predictions and predictions from Monte Carlo simulations with next-to-leading-order matrix element accuracy interfaced with parton-shower algorithms.
The measurements are performed both in the full phase-space and differentially as a function of top quark pair invariant mass.
The measured coefficients showed decent agreement with the MC predictions, and better agreement when compared to QCD perturbative calculations for top quark pair production at NLO with electroweak corrections, and the measurement precision for one-dimensional normalized unfolded cross-sections and extracted coefficients were improved by as much as a factor of two compared to previous measurements.
Mixed Complementarity Modeling in the Global Natural Gas Market

description: This thesis describes the development and capabilities of the 2020 World Gas Model (WGM), an updated mixed complementarity problem model of the global natural gas market derived from the 2014 World Gas Model. The significance of this research applies to industry professionals and academics alike as the developed processes and analysis further expands the capabilities and flexibility of equilibrium modeling. Through an understanding of the current state of the natural gas market, the WGM determines the economic behavior of various market players with the deployment of Karush-Kuhn-Tucker (KKT) optimality conditions in conjunction with market-clearing conditions. The capabilities of the World Gas Model are highlighted through two case studies that are of varying international importance. The case studies are specifically selected from different issues that face the natural gas market such as a United States and China trade war and U.S. Coast Guard liquefied natural gas (LNG) inspection workforce forecasting. The goal of the United States and China Trade War case study is to analyze the potential long- and short-term affects of a prolonged trade war under several different possible scenarios. Results from the study indicate that while increased tariffs on LNG trade from the U.S. to China greatly reduce the amount of trade volume between the two countries, the overall economic effect is negligible and of greater concern to other affected nations. Another found result, is that if the potential geopolitical consequence of China increasing their domestic production of natural gas in an effort to reduce reliance on imports, this will cause a global natural gas market effect. The U.S. Coast Guard LNG inspection workforce forecasting case study utilizes the WGM to provide the future workforce demand for U.S. regulatory personnel and the associated costs based on the growth of the U.S. LNG industry. The results from the study indicate that in order to avoid future costs and restriction on the U.S. LNG industry, the USCG must increase its LNG inspection workforce by a factor of .3 to 1 from current forecasts.

description:
There has recently come to light an early seventeenth-century manuscript of Lancelot Andrewes’s Apospasmatia SACRA: or A Collection of posthumous and orphan lectures. [2]  For the first and only time published in 1657—some thirty years after Andrewes’s death in 1626—their authorial integrity has ever since been in doubt. In a hastily contrived preface, the notable Laudian Thomas Pierce declared ‘that this Volumne of Notes was only taken by the Eare from the voluble Tongue of the Dictator, as he deliver’d them out of the Pulpit; and so are infinitely short of their original perfection’. Pierce continues painstakingly to discredit these ‘Notes’, which, had he been consulted, would not have appeared. In reflecting and extending this judgement, James Bliss rejects the ‘Orphan Lectures’ for inclusion in the eleven volume edition of Andrewes’s Works in The Library of Anglo-Catholic Theology, noting that ‘there does not appear to be sufficient evidence to justify one in ascribing these sermons, at least in their present form, to Bishop Andrewes’. [3]  Thus this substantial body of work, comprising of over 700 octavo pages, has remained marginal to most students of Andrewes. [4]

University-industry partnerships are common in the Sciences, but less so in the Humanities. As a result, there is little understanding of how they work in the Humanities. Using the Implementing New Knowledge Environments: Networked Open Social Scholarship (INKE:NOSS) initiative as a case study, this paper contributes to this discussion by examining the nature of the university-industry partnership with libraries and academic-adjacent organizations, and associated benefits, challenges, measures of success, and outcomes. Interviews were conducted with the collaboration’s industry partners. After several years of collaboration on the development of a grant application, industry partners have found the experience of working with academics to be a positive one overall. Industry partners are contributing primarily in-kind resources in the form of staff time, travel to meetings, and reading and commenting on documents. They have also been able to realize benefits while negotiating the challenges. Using qualitative standards, measures of success and desired outcomes are being articulated. This work developing the partnership should stand the larger INKE:NOSS team in good stead if they are successful with securing grant funding.

description: Thermal nonequilibrium (TNE) is a condition of the plasma in the solar corona in which the local rate of energy loss due to radiation increases to the point that it cannot be sustained by the various heating terms acting on the plasma, precluding the existence of a steady state. The limit cycles of precipitation and evaporation that result from TNE have been simulated in 1D models of coronal loops, as well as 2D and 3D models of the solar chromosphere and lower corona. However, a careful study of TNE in the solar wind has not been performed until now. Here we demonstrate that for suitable combinations of local and global heating rates it is possible for the plasma to exhibit a TNE condition, even in the context of a transonic solar wind with appreciable mass and energy fluxes. This implies limits on the amount of foot-point heating that can be withstood under steady-state conditions in the solar wind, and may help to explain the variability of solar wind streams that emanate from regions of highly concentrated magnetic flux on the solar surface. The implications of this finding pertain to various sources of high-density solar wind, including plumes that form above regions of mixed magnetic polarity in polar coronal holes and the slow solar wind (SSW) that emanates from coronal hole boundaries.
“I haue often such a sickly inclination” Biography and the Critical Interpretation of Donne's Suicide Tract, Biathanatos

Year: 2021

description:
As we  live in an age that accepts, and at times embraces, the notion that the personal is political and that personal politics are professional politics, it is odd that Donne's Biathanatos (written 1607-8, printed 1647) -- a tract that Evelyn Simpson found to be "an exercise in casuistry on the subject of suicide" -- is not seen by most as a document indicative of the personal condition of its author at the time it was written. Views on this aspect of the work do range rather widely, from Ernest Sullivan's contention that "neither [Donne's] personal life nor the text validate reading Biathanatos as autobiographical introspection" to John Carey's assertion that Biathanatos "constituted a giant suicide note, always ready for use."[1] But the tract in which Donne argues "that Self-homicide is not so naturally Sinne, that it may neuer be otherwise" is, when not elided or lightly treated, a work that is more consistently disconnected from the author's own concerns at the time of its writing than it is associated with them. Indeed, of the critical images of Biathanatos that have emerged of late, the most coherent is that which considers it in light of the earlier paradoxes and satires, and treats it largely as a detached, impersonal, and scholastic (if parodic) engagement of his subject -- a work in keeping with Donne's theological and legal interests at the time of its composition and falling well within the boundaries of acceptable casuistry, an examination of the moral implications of an action. Even so, such an image is largely composite.
Modeling general-relativistic plasmas with collisionless moments and dissipative two-fluid magnetohydrodynamics

description: Relativistic plasmas are central to the study of black hole accretion, jet physics, neutron star mergers, and compact object magnetospheres. Despite the need to accurately capture the dynamics of these plasmas and the implications for relativistic transients, their fluid modeling is typically done using a number of (overly) simplifying assumptions, which do not hold in general. This is especially true when the mean free path in the plasma is large compared to the system size, and kinetic effects start to become important. Going beyond common approaches used in the literature, we describe a fully relativistic covariant 14-moment based two-fluid system appropriate for the study of electron-ion or electron-positron plasmas. This generalized Israel-Stewart-like system of equations of motion is obtained directly from the relativistic Boltzmann-Vlasov equation. Crucially, this new formulation can account for non-ideal effects, such as anisotropic pressures and heat fluxes. We show that a relativistic two-fluid plasma can be recast as a single fluid coupled to electromagnetic fields with (potentially large) out-of-equilibrium corrections. In particular, we keep all electron degrees of freedom, which provide self-consistent evolution equations for electron temperature and momentum. The equations outlined in this paper are able to capture the full two-fluid character of collisionless plasmas found in black hole accretion and flaring processes around compact objects, as well Braginskii-like two-fluid magnetohydrodynamics applicable to weakly collisional plasmas inside accretion disks. This new formulation will be instrumental in the construction of a large class of next-generation simulations of relativistic transient phenomena produced around black holes and neutron stars.

This essay examines how James’s distinction between “personal” and “institutional” religion in The Varieties of Religious Experience informs modernist literature. Specifically, it points to the inescapably social dimensions of “personal” forms of religious experience, demonstrating how modernists such as E.J. Pratt –once Canada’s leading poet – extended James’s notion of personal religion in relation to his pragmatic philosophy. I place James in conversation with modernists such as Pratt to challenge scholars to consider anew not only the nature of James’s literary influence, but also the many forms of religious expression that shaped the cultural landscape of the twentieth century.

description: Pulsar-timing arrays (PTAs) are in the near future expected to detect a stochastic gravitational-wave background (SGWB) produced by a population of inspiralling super-massive black hole binaries. In this work, we consider a background that can be anisotropic and circularly polarized. We use the expansion of the intensity and the circular polarization in terms of spherical harmonics and the overlap reduction functions for each term in this expansion. We propose an unbiased real-space estimator that can separate the intensity and circular-polarization contributions of the SGWB to pulsar-timing-residual correlations and then validate the estimator on simulated data. We compute the signal-to-noise ratio of a circular-polarization component that has a dipole pattern under different assumptions about the PTA. We find that a nearly-maximal circular-polarization dipole may be detectable, which can aid in determining whether or not the background is dominated by a handful of bright sources.

description: The CO Mapping Array Project (COMAP) aims to use line intensity mapping of carbon monoxide (CO) to trace the distribution and global properties of galaxies over cosmic time, back to the Epoch of Reionization (EoR). To validate the technologies and techniques needed for this goal, a Pathfinder instrument has been constructed and fielded. Sensitive to CO(1-0) emission from $z=2.4$-$3.4$ and a fainter contribution from CO(2-1) at $z=6$-8, the Pathfinder is surveying $12$ deg$^2$ in a 5-year observing campaign to detect the CO signal from $z\sim3$. Using data from the first 13 months of observing, we estimate $P_\mathrm{CO}(k) = -2.7 \pm 1.7 \times 10^4μ\mathrm{K}^2 \mathrm{Mpc}^3$ on scales $k=0.051-0.62 \mathrm{Mpc}^{-1}$ - the first direct 3D constraint on the clustering component of the CO(1-0) power spectrum. Based on these observations alone, we obtain a constraint on the amplitude of the clustering component (the squared mean CO line temperature-bias product) of $\langle Tb\rangle^2<49$ $μ$K$^2$ - nearly an order-of-magnitude improvement on the previous best measurement. These constraints allow us to rule out two models from the literature. We forecast a detection of the power spectrum after 5 years with signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) 9-17. Cross-correlation with an overlapping galaxy survey will yield a detection of the CO-galaxy power spectrum with S/N of 19. We are also conducting a 30 GHz survey of the Galactic plane and present a preliminary map. Looking to the future of COMAP, we examine the prospects for future phases of the experiment to detect and characterize the CO signal from the EoR.

Where Lie the Similarities and Differences?: A Comparison of University and Industry Partners in Collaboration

Year: 2021
Subjects: Digital Humanities

description:
University–industry partnerships are common on the science side of campus where ways to work together are well understood. This is less so in the humanities even as these types of collaborations are being funded by granting agencies and governments. For these partnerships to build a foundation for success, common understandings around issues of the nature of collaboration, benefits, challenges, measures of success and outcomes need to exist. Using Implementing New Knowledge Environments (INKE) as a study case, this research examines a humanities-based partnership to understand similarities and differences in partners’ perspectives around these factors. Overall, the university and industry partners have common understandings of the nature of collaboration, the potential challenges facing the collaboration, and desired outcomes and success factors. However, there are some differences that must be navigated to ensure collaboration success. These focus on the benefits, the role of industry partners, need for tenure and promotion for researchers, and the type of resources that each can provide. While the partnership is in early stages of research, it has had the opportunity to learn about each other and differing perspectives by working and meeting together for over five years. This is the first step to creating a foundation of trust upon which a successful collaboration can be built.

description:
This extended interview with Ray Siemens was carried out on June 21st at Digital Humanities 2011, Stanford University. It explores Siemens' early training and involvement in the field that is now known as digital humanities. He recalls that his first experience with computing was as a video gamer and programmer in high school. He had the opportunity to consolidate this early experience in the mid-1980s, when he attended the University of Waterloo as an undergraduate in the department of English where he undertook, inter alia, formal training in computing. He communicates strongly the vibrancy of the field that was already apparent during his graduate years (up to c. 1991) and identifies some of the people in places such as the University of Alberta, University of Toronto, Oxford, and the University of British Columbia who had a formative influence on him. He gives a clear sense of some of the factors that attracted him to computing, for example, the alternatives to close reading that he was able to bring to bear on his literary research from an early stage. So too he reflects on computing developments whose applications were not immediately foreseeable, for example, when in 1986 he edited IBM's TCP/IP manual he could not have foreseen that by 1989 TCP/IP would be firmly established as the communication protocol of the internet. He closes by reflecting on the prescience of the advice that his father, also an academic, gave him regarding the use of computing in his research and on his early encounters with the conference scene.

description: Line intensity mapping (LIM) is a new technique for tracing the global properties of galaxies over cosmic time. Detection of the very faint signals from redshifted carbon monoxide (CO), a tracer of star formation, pushes the limits of what is feasible with a total-power instrument. The CO Mapping Project (COMAP) Pathfinder is a first-generation instrument aiming to prove the concept and develop the technology for future experiments, as well as delivering early science products. With 19 receiver channels in a hexagonal focal plane arrangement on a 10.4 m antenna, and an instantaneous 26-34 GHz frequency range with 2 MHz resolution, it is ideally suited to measuring CO($J$=1-0) from $z\sim3$. In this paper we discuss strategies for designing and building the Pathfinder and the challenges that were encountered. The design of the instrument prioritized LIM requirements over those of ancillary science. After a couple of years of operation, the instrument is well understood, and the first year of data is already yielding useful science results. Experience with this Pathfinder will drive the design of the next generations of experiments.

description: We describe the first season COMAP analysis pipeline that converts raw detector readouts to calibrated sky maps. This pipeline implements four main steps: gain calibration, filtering, data selection, and map-making. Absolute gain calibration relies on a combination of instrumental and astrophysical sources, while relative gain calibration exploits real-time total-power variations. High efficiency filtering is achieved through spectroscopic common-mode rejection within and across receivers, resulting in nearly uncorrelated white noise within single-frequency channels. Consequently, near-optimal but biased maps are produced by binning the filtered time stream into pixelized maps; the corresponding signal bias transfer function is estimated through simulations. Data selection is performed automatically through a series of goodness-of-fit statistics, including $χ^2$ and multi-scale correlation tests. Applying this pipeline to the first-season COMAP data, we produce a dataset with very low levels of correlated noise. We find that one of our two scanning strategies (the Lissajous type) is sensitive to residual instrumental systematics. As a result, we no longer use this type of scan and exclude data taken this way from our Season 1 power spectrum estimates. We perform a careful analysis of our data processing and observing efficiencies and take account of planned improvements to estimate our future performance. Power spectrum results derived from the first-season COMAP maps are presented and discussed in companion papers.
