Optimal Covariant Measurement of Momentum on a Half Line in Quantum Mechanics

description: We cannot perform the projective measurement of a momentum on a half line since it is not an observable. Nevertheless, we would like to obtain some physical information of the momentum on a half line. We define an optimality for measurement as minimizing the variance between an inferred outcome of the measured system before a measuring process and a measurement outcome of the probe system after the measuring process, restricting our attention to the covariant measurement studied by Holevo. Extending the domain of the momentum operator on a half line by introducing a two dimensional Hilbert space to be tensored, we make it self-adjoint and explicitly construct a model Hamiltonian for the measured and probe systems. By taking the partial trace over the newly introduced Hilbert space, the optimal covariant positive operator valued measure (POVM) of a momentum on a half line is reproduced. We physically describe the measuring process to optimally evaluate the momentum of a particle on a half line.

description: Relay networks having $n$ source-to-destination pairs and $m$ half-duplex relays, all operating in the same frequency band in the presence of block fading, are analyzed. This setup has attracted significant attention and several relaying protocols have been reported in the literature. However, most of the proposed solutions require either centrally coordinated scheduling or detailed channel state information (CSI) at the transmitter side. Here, an opportunistic relaying scheme is proposed, which alleviates these limitations. The scheme entails a two-hop communication protocol, in which sources communicate with destinations only through half-duplex relays. The key idea is to schedule at each hop only a subset of nodes that can benefit from \emph{multiuser diversity}. To select the source and destination nodes for each hop, it requires only CSI at receivers (relays for the first hop, and destination nodes for the second hop) and an integer-value CSI feedback to the transmitters. For the case when $n$ is large and $m$ is fixed, it is shown that the proposed scheme achieves a system throughput of $m/2$ bits/s/Hz. In contrast, the information-theoretic upper bound of $(m/2)\log \log n$ bits/s/Hz is achievable only with more demanding CSI assumptions and cooperation between the relays. Furthermore, it is shown that, under the condition that the product of block duration and system bandwidth scales faster than $\log n$, the achievable throughput of the proposed scheme scales as $Θ({\log n})$. Notably, this is proven to be the optimal throughput scaling even if centralized scheduling is allowed, thus proving the optimality of the proposed scheme in the scaling law sense.

description: In this paper we propose a protocol to suppress double-layer forces between two microspheres immersed in a dielectric medium, being one microsphere metallic at a controlled potential ψM and the other a charged one either metallic or dielectric. The approach is valid for a wide range of distances between them. We show that, for a given distance between the two microspheres, the double-layer force can be totally suppressed by simply tuning ψM up to values dictated by the linearized Poisson-Boltzmann equation. Our key finding is that such values can be substantially different from the ones predicted by the commonly used proximity force approximation (PFA), also known as Derjaguin approximation, even in situations where the latter is expected to be accurate. The proposed procedure can be used to suppress the double-layer interaction in force spectroscopy experiments, thus paving the way for measurements of other surface interactions, such as Casimir dispersion forces.

description: Coloring the vertices of a graph G subject to given conditions can be considered as a random experiment and corresponding to this experiment, a discrete random variable X can be defined as the colour of a vertex chosen at random, with respect to the given type of colouring of G and a probability mass function for this random variable can be defined accordingly. A proper coloring C of a graph G, which assigns colors to the vertices of G such that the numbers of vertices in any two colour classes differ by at most one, is called an equitable colouring of G. In this paper, we study two statistical parameters of certain cycle related graphs, with respect to their equitable colorings.

description: Across six laboratory Studies and one Field Study, we demonstrate that people remember an unpleasant experience as more aversive when they expect this experience to return than when they have no such expectation. Our results support a bracing explanation for this effect: When faced with the anticipated return of the experience, people prepare for the worst by remembering it as more aversive. This bracing can be “turned off” by either limiting people’s self-regulatory resources or by denying them the time to brace. These results indicate that people’s general tendency to remember aversive experiences as less unpleasant than they had actually been (as demonstrated in prior research) does not necessarily imply that people will be willing to reengage in these experiences—as the anticipation of repeating the experience would counter-act the initial memory bias
Capsize of polarization in dilute photonic crystals

description: We investigate, experimentally and theoretically, polarization rotation effects in dilute photonic crystals with transverse permittivity inhomogeneity perpendicular to the traveling direction of waves. A capsize, namely a drastic change of polarization to the perpendicular direction is observed in a one-dimensional photonic crystal in the frequency range $10÷140$ GHz. To gain more insights into the rotational mechanism, we have developed a theoretical model of dilute photonic crystal, based on Maxwell's equations with a spatially dependent two dimensional inhomogeneous dielectric permittivity. We show that the polarization's rotation can be explained by an optical splitting parameter appearing naturally in Maxwell's equations for magnetic or electric fields components. This parameter is an optical analogous of Rashba like spin-orbit interaction parameter present in quantum waves, introduces a correction to the band structure of the two-dimensional Bloch states, creates the dynamical phase shift between the waves propagating in the orthogonal directions and finally leads to capsizing of the initial polarization. Excellent agreement between theory and experiment is found.

description: A clutter (V, E) packs if the smallest number of vertices needed to intersect all the edges (i.e. a minimum transversal) is equal to the maximum number of pairwise disjoint edges (i.e. a maximum matching). This terminology is due to Seymour 1977. A clutter is minimally nonpacking if it does not pack but all its minors pack. An m×n 0,1 matrix is minimally nonpacking if it is the edge-vertex incidence matrix of a minimally nonpacking clutter. Minimally nonpacking matrices can be viewed as the counterpart for the set covering problem of minimally imperfect matrices for the set packing problem. This paper proves several properties of minimally nonpacking clutters and matrices

Onset times, peak times, peak proton intensity and onset-to-peak proton fluence are evaluated for the two available energy channels, at about 25 and 50 MeV. We describe the procedure utilized to identify the proton events and to relate them to their solar origin (in terms of flares and coronal mass ejections). The statistical relationships between the energetic protons and their origin (linear and partial correlation analysis) are reported and discussed in view of earlier findings. Finally, the different trends found in the first eight years of solar cycles 23 and 24 are discussed.

description: We measure which candidates newspapers endorse in state and federal elections from 1940 to 2002. One sample focuses on the largest circulation newspapers in the United States from 1940 to 2002. A second sample examines 65 newspapers, representing all regions of the country, over the period 1986 to 2002. We document two important features of newspaper endorsements. First, newspapers have shifted from strongly favoring Republicans in the 1940s and 1950s, to dividing their editorial endorsements roughly equally between the parties. Today, Democratic candidates are about 10 percent more likely to receive an endorsement than Republican candidates. Second, newspaper editorials have come to favor heavily those already in o±ce. Incumbents today receive the endorsement about 90 percent of the time. In the 1940s, incumbents received endorsements only about 60 percent of the time. The consequence of this shift, we estimate, is to increase incumbents' vote margins, on average, .2 to 1 percentage points.

description: The research in topological materials and meta-materials reached maturity and is now gradually entering the phase of practical applications and devices. However, scaling down the experimental demonstrations definitely presents a challenge. In this work, we study coupled identical resonators whose collective dynamics is fully determined by the pattern in which the resonators are arranged. We call a pattern topological if boundary resonant modes fully fill all existing spectral gaps whenever the pattern is halved. This is a characteristic of the pattern and is entirely independent of the structure of the resonators and the details of the couplings. Existence of such patterns is proven using $K$-theory and exemplified using a novel experimental platform based on magnetically coupled spinners. Topological meta-materials built on these principles can be easily engineered at any scale, providing a practical platform for applications and devices.

description: We investigate drag reduction due to the flow-induced reconfiguration of a flexible thin plate in presence of skin friction drag at low Reynolds Number. The plate is subjected to a uniform free stream and is tethered at one end. We extend existing models in the literature to account for the skin friction drag. The total drag on the plate with respect to a rigid upright plate decreases due to flow-induced reconfiguration and further reconfiguration increases the total drag due to increase in skin friction drag. A critical value of Cauchy number ($Ca$) exists at which the total drag on the plate with respect to a rigid upright plate is minimum at a given Reynolds number. The reconfigured shape of the plate for this condition is unique, beyond which the total drag increases on the plate even with reconfiguration. The ratio of the form drag coefficient for an upright rigid plate and skin drag coefficient for a horizontal rigid plate ($λ$) determines the critical Cauchy number ($Ca_{cr}$). We propose modification in the drag scaling with free stream velocity ($F_{x}$ ${\propto}$ $U^{n}$) in presence of the skin friction drag. The following expressions of $n$ are found for $0.01 \leq Re \leq 1$, $n = 4/5 + λ/5$ for 1 $\leq$ $Ca$ $

description: Metal-metal contacts, though not yet widely realized, may provide exciting opportunities to serve as tunable and functional interfaces in single-molecule devices. One of the simplest components which might facilitate such binding interactions is the ferrocene group. Notably, direct bonds between the ferrocene iron center and metals such as Pd or Co have been demonstrated in molecular complexes comprising coordinating ligands attached to the cyclopentadienyl rings. Here, we demonstrate that ferrocene-based single-molecule devices with Fe-Au interfacial contact geometries form at room temperature in the absence of supporting coordinating ligands. Applying a photoredox reaction, we propose that ferrocene only functions effectively as a contact group when oxidized, binding to gold through a formal Fe3+ center. This observation is further supported by a series of control measurements and density functional theory calculations. Our findings extend the scope of junction contact chemistries beyond those involving main group elements, lay the foundation for light switchable ferrocene-based single-molecule devices, and highlight new potential mechanistic function(s) of unsubstituted ferrocenium groups in synthetic processes.

Careful measurement of the full pseudoscalar flavor-singlet propagator is also a crucial step in understanding the dynamics of the fermion sea on the lattice, in particular for potentially non-trivial formulations such as with 2+1-flavor staggered fermions. We briefly describe details of a dynamical QCD calculation using improved staggered fermions, with 30,000 trajectories, that was run for our studies of flavour singlet mesons.

description: In this work we extend the results of [1] where, Semiclassical Selfconsistent Configurations (SSC) formalism was introduced. The scheme combines quantum field theory on a background space-time, semiclassical treatment of gravitation and spontaneous collapse theories. The approach is applied to the context of early universe cosmology using a formal description of the transition from an initial inflationary stage characterized by a spatially homogeneous and isotropic (H&I) universe, to another where inhomogeneities are present in association with quantum fluctuations of the field driving inflation. In that work two constructions are produced. One of them describes a universe that is completely spatially (H&I), and the other is characterized by a slight excitation of the particular inhomogeneous and anisotropic perturbation. Finally, a characterization of their gluing to each other is provided as representing the transition as a result from a spontaneous collapse of the state of the quantum field, following the hypothesis originally introduced in [2]. Specifically, in [1] this construction is carried out by using cosmological perturbation theory and working up to linear order in the perturbation. However, given the nonlinear nature of gravitation, we should in principle explore the application of the formalism in a nonlinear regime. To this end and as a first step, we study in this work the transition from a spatially (H&I), from a SSC-I to one SSC-II that is not spatially (H&I), working this time up to second order in perturbation theory. We find that the self consistent construction now requires consideration of the so called tensor modes, as well as a nontrivial mixing of modes that made the analysis much more difficult and which could not a priori be warranted to work out in detail. The present work shows that this is indeed the case.

We then relate the condensate function to the wave function of pion as a Goldstone mode. This simultaneously yields the pion also as a quark antiquark bound state as a localised zero mode in vacuum. We illustrate the above with Nambu Jona-Lasinio model to calculate different pionic properties in terms of the vacuum structure for breaking of exact or approximate chiral symmetry, as well as the condensate fluctuations giving rise to $σ$ mesons.

description: Schizophrenia is a neuropsychiatric illness characterized by altered neurotransmission, in which adenosine, a modulator of glutamate and dopamine, plays a critical role that is relatively unexplored in the human brain. In the present study, postmortem human brain tissue from the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) of individuals with schizophrenia (n = 20) and sex- and age-matched control subjects without psychiatric illness (n = 20) was obtained from the Bronx–Mount Sinai NIH Brain and Tissue Repository. Enriched populations of ACC pyramidal neurons were isolated using laser microdissection (LMD). The mRNA expression levels of six key adenosine pathway components—adenosine kinase (ADK), equilibrative nucleoside transporters 1 and 2 (ENT1 and ENT2), ectonucleoside triphosphate diphosphohydrolases 1 and 3 (ENTPD1 and ENTPD3), and ecto-5′ -nucleotidase (NT5E)—were quantified using real-time PCR (qPCR) in neurons from these individuals. No significant mRNA expression differences were observed between the schizophrenia and control groups (p > 0.05). However, a significant sex difference was found in ADK mRNA expression, with higher levels in male compared with female subjects (Mann–Whitney U = 86; p < 0.05), a finding significantly driven by disease (t(17) = 3.289; p < 0.05). Correlation analyses also demonstrated significant associations (n = 12) between the expression of several adenosine pathway components (p < 0.05). In our dementia severity analysis, ENTPD1 mRNA expression was significantly higher in males in the “mild” clinical dementia rating (CDR) bin compared with males in the “none” CDR bin (F(2, 13) = 5.212; p < 0.05). Lastly, antipsychotic analysis revealed no significant impact on the expression of adenosine pathway components between medicated and non-medicated schizophrenia subjects (p > 0.05). The observed sex-specific variations and inter?component correlations highlight the value of investigating sex differences in disease and contribute to the molecular basis of schizophrenia’s pathology.

description: Robots are being introduced in increasing numbers throughout the world. While only a few hundred robots were used in the United States in 1970,7,000 were in use in 1983 (Ayres & Miller, 1983; Hunt & Hunt, (983). Forecasts of how many robots will be used in 1990 in the United States range between 75,000 and 150,000 (Hunt & Hunt, 1983). Little is known, however, about how individual employees react to the introduction of robots or about the changes needed in organizations to support robotics. Our research focuses on understanding the human side of robotics--how individuals react to robots, how and when organizations should be modified to support robotics, and what effective strategies are for the implementation of robotics.

description: Gapped interfaces (and boundaries) of two-dimensional (2D) Abelian topological phases are shown to support a remarkably rich sequence of 1D symmetry-protected topological (SPT) states. We show that such interfaces can provide a physical interpretation for the corrections to the topological entanglement entropy of a 2D state with Abelian topological order found in Ref.~\onlinecite{cano-2015}. The topological entanglement entropy decomposes as $γ= γ_a + γ_s$, where $γ_a > 0$ only depends on universal topological properties of the 2D state, while a correction $γ_s > 0$ signals the emergence of the 1D SPT state that is produced by interactions along the entanglement cut and provides a direct measure of the stabilizing symmetry of the resulting SPT state. A correspondence is established between the possible values of $γ_s$ associated with a given interface - which is named Boundary Topological Entanglement Sequence - and classes of 1D SPT states. We show that symmetry-preserving domain walls along such 1D interfaces (or boundaries) generally host localized parafermion-like excitations that are stable to local symmetry-preserving perturbations.

description: In a near-canonical forward looking model, the ‘timeless perspective’ form of commitment typically provides outcomes that are on average superior to those resulting from discretion. The specific condition that appears in the literature is, however, not optimal from the relevant perspective.
Signatures of Electric Field and Layer Separation Effects on the Spin-Valley Physics of MoSe2/WSe2 Heterobilayers: From Energy Bands to Dipolar Excitons

description: Multilayered van der Waals heterostructures based on transition metal dichalcogenides are suitable platforms on which to study interlayer (dipolar) excitons, in which electrons and holes are localized in different layers. Interestingly, these excitonic complexes exhibit pronounced valley Zeeman signatures, but how their spin-valley physics can be further altered due to external parameters—such as electric field and interlayer separation—remains largely unexplored. Here, we perform a systematic analysis of the spin-valley physics in MoSe2/WSe2 heterobilayers under the influence of an external electric field and changes of the interlayer separation. In particular, we analyze the spin (Sz) and orbital (Lz) degrees of freedom, and the symmetry properties of the relevant band edges (at K, Q, and Γ points) of high-symmetry stackings at 0° (R-type) and 60° (H-type) angles—the important building blocks present in moiré or atomically reconstructed structures. We reveal distinct hybridization signatures on the spin and the orbital degrees of freedom of low-energy bands, due to the wave function mixing between the layers, which are stacking-dependent, and can be further modified by electric field and interlayer distance variation. We find that H-type stackings favor large changes in the g-factors as a function of the electric field, e.g., from −5 to 3 in the valence bands of the Hhh stacking, because of the opposite orientation of Sz and Lz of the individual monolayers. For the low-energy dipolar excitons (direct and indirect in k-space), we quantify the electric dipole moments and polarizabilities, reflecting the layer delocalization of the constituent bands. Furthermore, our results show that direct dipolar excitons carry a robust valley Zeeman effect nearly independent of the electric field, but tunable by the interlayer distance, which can be rendered experimentally accessible via applied external pressure. For the momentum-indirect dipolar excitons, our symmetry analysis indicates that phonon-mediated optical processes can easily take place. In particular, for the indirect excitons with conduction bands at the Q point for H-type stackings, we find marked variations of the valley Zeeman (∼4) as a function of the electric field, which notably stands out from the other dipolar exciton species. Our analysis suggests that stronger signatures of the coupled spin-valley physics are favored in H-type stackings, which can be experimentally investigated in samples with twist angle close to 60°. In summary, our study provides fundamental microscopic insights into the spin-valley physics of van der Waals heterostructures, which are relevant to understanding the valley Zeeman splitting of dipolar excitonic complexes, and also intralayer excitons.

description: This paper derives two new optimization-driven Monte Carlo algorithms inspired from variable splitting and data augmentation. In particular, the formulation of one of the proposed approaches is closely related to the alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) main steps. The proposed framework enables to derive faster and more efficient sampling schemes than the current state-of-the-art methods and can embed the latter. By sampling efficiently the parameter to infer as well as the hyperparameters of the problem, the generated samples can be used to approximate Bayesian estimators of the parameters to infer. Additionally, the proposed approach brings confidence intervals at a low cost contrary to optimization methods. Simulations on two often-studied signal processing problems illustrate the performance of the two proposed samplers. All results are compared to those obtained by recent state-of-the-art optimization and MCMC algorithms used to solve these problems.

description: This paper deals with some of aspects of the influence of asymmetry on vocal folds vibrations. A theoretical model of vocal fold asymmetry is presented. The influence of asymmetry is quantitatively examined in terms of oscillation frequency and pressure threshold. The theoretical model is compared to "in-vitro" experiment on a deformable replica of vocal folds. It is found that asymmetry strongly influences the oscillation subglottal pressure threshold. Moreover, the vocal fold with the highest mechanical resonance frequency imposes the oscillation fundamental frequency. The influence of geometrical asymmetry instead of purely mechanical asymmetry is shown

description: We investigate the crumpling transition for a dynamically triangulated random surface embedded in two dimensions using an effective model in which the disordering effect of the $X$ variables on the correlations of the normals is replaced by a long-range ``antiferromagnetic'' term. We compare the results from a Monte Carlo simulation with those obtained for the standard action which retains the $X$'s and discuss the nature of the phase transition.

A study of higher level upper-secondary mathematics course choice
Creators: name: Easey, Michael
Publisher: name: Australian Catholic University
Year: 2019

description: The impetus for this study was an observed decline in Year 10 students choosing higher level upper-secondary mathematics courses at a school in metropolitan Brisbane, Queensland. This problem has been the focus of similar research in Australia and internationally for over three generations, and despite numerous studies and reports leading to many recommendations, the problem continues. Further research regarding this problem is necessary as there are important practical implications for the students themselves, with 75% of careers in the 21st century identified as requiring skills acquired through tertiary courses that are underpinned by science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), all of which are enabled by higher level upper-secondary mathematics courses. Extending this problem from personal gain and opportunity for students to the wider community, it is evident that more individuals are needed to engage in STEM studies and careers to contribute to the innovation necessary to make Australia internationally competitive and economically prosperous. With this context in mind, the research question for this study was: What are the main factors that influence Year 10 students’ upper-secondary mathematics course choice? Moving away from the retrospective approaches normally adopted to a real-time prospective approach, this study explored the decline in Year 10 students choosing higher level upper-secondary mathematics courses using survey, drawing on the perspectives of 423 Year 10 students at three metropolitan Brisbane schools prior to making their formal subject selection later that year. Quantitative analysis indicated that the main factors influencing upper-secondary mathematics course choice are Out-of-field Mathematics Teachers, Attitudes to Mathematics, Gender, and Career Intentions. The critical finding was that Out-of-field Mathematics Teachers had a statistically significant influence on students’ upper-secondary mathematics course choice. This represents a new contribution to the research literature that has important implications for teacher registration policy in Australia as well as internationally. Also, there are implications for universities to ensure that more mathematics teachers are trained and greater incentives are provided for mathematically capable students to become mathematics teachers.
POPULATION HEALTH OUTCOMES & THE IMPORTANCE OF STRUCTURED DATA FOR HEALTH DEPARTMENTS

Year: 2025

description:
Introduction: Population Health Outcomes (PHOs) collected between accreditation cycles have shown limited impact in demonstrating Health Department (HD) accreditation outcomes. Due to HDs' dissatisfaction and the extensive time required for reporting, the Public Health Accreditation Board (PHAB) is considering changes. This study explores the challenges and potential improvements through interviews with PHAB staff.


Methods: Thematic analysis was conducted on interviews with five key informants from PHAB’s Accreditation & Recognition and Research & Product Development teams. Informants provided insights on strengths, weaknesses, and suggestions for improvement, including equity integration. A coding tool was used to analyze responses.


Results: 42% of codes suggested improvements, with "Storytelling" as the most common theme. 30% of codes addressed challenges, while only 8% highlighted positive aspects.


Conclusion: Revising the PHOs reporting process could make data more intuitive and better demonstrate the impact of accreditation.

description: In The Constitution of Liberty (1960) and other works, Friedrich Hayek explained the dynamics of economic change under capitalism. Unlike many of his contemporaries, Hayek saw the dynamics of change as far more important for economic welfare and for the survival of capitalism as a social and economic system than the proofs of static efficiency that attract mathematical economists. For Hayek, as for Schumpeter, the distinguishing feature of capitalism lies in the interrelation of freedom and progress.

Targets to Therapies (T2T)
Parkinson's Disease (PD)

description: Prioritizing and selecting emerging therapeutic targets for investment and development is a challenge across all therapeutic areas. To address this in Parkinson's disease (PD), the MJFF has established an industry- and investor-led initiative, called Targets to Therapies (T2T). It will aim to leverage the collective expertise of the PD research community to prioritize and de-risk promising therapeutic targets. In the first phase of this initiative, a community-driven survey nominated 280 promising therapeutic targets. Over the past year, a consortium of PD scientists, drug hunters, and investors conducted staged diligence to prioritize these targets, narrowing the list to ~20 promising candidates. The next phase will focus on validation strategies, building tools and resources to further de-risk these targets and position them for investment by industry and venture-backed communities.
