Constraints for warped branes

Year: 2008
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We investigate singular geometries which can be associated with warped branes in arbitrary dimensions. If the brane tension is allowed to be variable, the extremum condition for the action requires additional constraints beyond the solution of the field equations. In a higher dimensional world, such constraints arise from variations of the metric which are local in the usual four-dimensional spacetime, without changing the geometry of internal space. As a consequence, continuous families of singular solutions of the field equations, with arbitrary integration constants, are generically reduced to a discrete subset of extrema of the action, similar to regular spaces. As an example, no static extrema of the action with effective four-dimensional gravity exist for six-dimensional gravity with a cosmological constant. These findings explain why the field equations of the reduced four-dimensional theory are not consistent with arbitrary solutions of the higher dimensional field equations - consistency requires the additional constraints. The characteristic solutions for variable tension branes are non-static runaway solutions where the effective four-dimensional cosmological constant vanishes as time goes to infinity.

Unfolded Dynamics Approach and Quantum Field Theory

description: We study quantization of a self-interacting scalar field within the unfolded dynamics approach. To this end we find and analyze a classical unfolded system describing 4d off-shell scalar field with a general self-interaction potential. Then we systematically construct three different but related unfolded formulations of the corresponding quantum field theory, supporting them with illustrative calculations: an unfolded functional Schwinger-Dyson system, an unfolded system for correlation functions and an unfolded effective system for vertex functions. The most curious feature we reveal is that an unfolded quantum commutator gets naturally regularized: a standard delta-function is replaced with a heat kernel, parameterized by the unfolded proper time. We also identify an auxiliary 5d system, having this proper time as a physical time, which generates 4d scalar action as its on-shell action.

A Strategy to Identify Materials Exhibiting a Large Nonlinear Phononics Response: Tuning the Ultrafast Structural Response of LaAlO$_3$ with Pressure

description: We use theory and first-principles calculations to investigate how structural changes induced by ultrafast optical excitation of infrared-active phonons change with hydrostatic pressure in LaAlO$_3$. Our calculations show that the observed structural changes are sensitive to pressure, with the largest changes occurring at pressures near the boundary between the cubic perovskite and rhombohedral phases. We rationalize our findings by defining a figure of merit that depends only on intrinsic materials quantities, and show that the peak response near the phase boundary is dictated by different microscopic materials properties depending on the particular phonon mode being excited. Our work demonstrates how it is possible to systematically identify materials that may exhibit particularly large changes in structure and properties due to optical excitation of infrared-active phonons.

description: Cytometry enables precise single-cell phenotyping within heterogeneous populations. These cell types are traditionally annotated via manual gating, but this method suffers from a lack of reproducibility and sensitivity to batch-effect. Also, the most recent cytometers - spectral flow or mass cytometers - create rich and high-dimensional data whose analysis via manual gating becomes challenging and time-consuming. To tackle these limitations, we introduce Scyan (https://github.com/MICS-Lab/scyan), a Single-cell Cytometry Annotation Network that automatically annotates cell types using only prior expert knowledge about the cytometry panel. We demonstrate that Scyan significantly outperforms the related state-of-the-art models on multiple public datasets while being faster and interpretable. In addition, Scyan overcomes several complementary tasks such as batch-effect removal, debarcoding, and population discovery. Overall, this model accelerates and eases cell population characterisation, quantification, and discovery in cytometry.

description: This paper applies an idea of adaptive momentum for the nonlinear conjugate gradient to accelerate optimization problems in sparse recovery. Specifically, we consider two types of minimization problems: a (single) differentiable function and the sum of a non-smooth function and a differentiable function. In the first case, we adopt a fixed step size to avoid the traditional line search and establish the convergence analysis of the proposed algorithm for a quadratic problem. This acceleration is further incorporated with an operator splitting technique to deal with the non-smooth function in the second case. We use the convex $\ell_1$ and the nonconvex $\ell_1-\ell_2$ functionals as two case studies to demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed approaches over traditional methods.

description: We study an XXZ spin chain, where each spin is coupled to an independent ohmic bath of harmonic oscillators at zero temperature. Using bosonization and numerical techniques, we show the existence of two phases separated by an Kosterlitz-Thouless (KT) transition. At low coupling with the bath, the chain remains in a Luttinger liquid phase with a reduced but finite spin stiffness, while above a critical coupling the system is in a dissipative phase characterized by a vanishing spin stiffness. We argue that the transport properties are also inhibited: the Luttinger liquid is a perfect conductor while the dissipative phase displays finite resistivity. Our results show that the effect of the bath can be interpreted as annealed disorder inducing signatures of localization.

Rapid forage inventory of Kenyan rangelands by double sampling for regression estimation : a feasibility study using an airborne digital radiometer
Creators: name: Mwanje, Justus Inonda
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: There is a growing need for an inventory technique which can be readily applied to extensive and remote rangelands as current destructive and non-destructive sampling methods are slow and expensive. An attempt to resolve this problem is made. The major objective of this study, therefore, is to determine the feasibility of using airborne digital radiometers (biometers) to inventory range forage. Remotely sensed information of spectral radiance or reflectance ratio (RR) and local-level referenced biophysical characteristics variables from the climatically diversified Kajiado District, Kenya has been processed. A light-aircraft fitted with digital radiometer (biometer) was used in a double-sampling strategy for rapid acquisition of spectral data. Biomass clipping of sample microplots on selected transects provided local-level reference information. These data elucidated factors characterizing vegetation spectral response and hence behavior, limitations and applicability of digital radiometers as a tool for rapid inventorying of range forage (standing crop). Least-squares regression methods have been applied on the collected data. Statistically significant linear relationships have been found to exist between spectral radiance or reflectance ratio (RR) and biomass fresh weights (FW) (r = 0.703, P <0.01, df = 17), and leaf water content (LW) (r = 0.83, P <0.01, df = 17). Polynomial relationship between spectral reflectance ratio (RR) and biomass fresh weights (FW) was significant (r = 0.872, P <0.01), and exponential relationship between the same variables was also significant (r = 0.61, P <0.01, d.f. = 17). Comparing the spectral regressions demonstrated that the linear equations are the best, simple and ease to apply. Total ecosystem moisture capacity was found to influence plant canopy reflectivity on a large scale. The soil catena characteristics were identified as an influencing factor on transect spectral reflectance dynamics. Recommendations for further investigations, have been made and an improvement on the present sensor systems (radiometers) is desirable to optimize acquisition of spectral information. Percent vegetation greenness estimates were found to provide acceptable predictions of range forage in place of spectral data. However, such estimates need to be properly defined as they are primarily subjective. The digital radiometers have been shown to be a precise and expedient method for estimating standing crop. However, the present model (Tektronics J-16) should be used only in grasslands because its inability to penetrate the canopy gives inaccurate readings in brush-lands and woodlands. The use and reliance on remote sensing techniques show a great potential for monitoring tropical rangelands, in particular Kenya, for providing the necessary information for their ultimate resource development.

description: In this paper we present a methodology to address the problem of brain tissue deformation referred to as 'brain-shift'. This deformation occurs throughout a neurosurgery intervention and strongly alters the accuracy of the neuronavigation systems used to date in clinical routine which rely solely on pre-operative patient imaging to locate the surgical target, such as a tumour or a functional area. After a general description of the framework of our intra-operative image-guided system, we describe a procedure to generate patient specific finite element meshes of the brain and propose a biomechanical model which can take into account tissue deformations and surgical procedures that modify the brain structure, like tumour or tissue resection.

Cylindrical Invisibility Cloak with Simplified Material Parameters is Inherently Visible

description: It was proposed that perfect invisibility cloaks can be constructed for hiding objects from electromagnetic illumination (Pendry et al., Science 312, p. 1780). The cylindrical cloaks experimentally demonstrated (Schurig et al., Science 314, p. 997) and proposed (Cai et al., Nat. Photon. 1, p. 224) have however simplified material parameters in order to facilitate easier realization as well as to avoid infinities in optical constants. Here we show that the cylindrical cloaks with simplified material parameters inherently allow the zeroth-order cylindrical wave to pass through the cloak as if the cloak is made of a homogeneous isotropic medium, and thus visible. To all high-order cylindrical waves, our numerical simulation suggests that the simplified cloak inherits some properties of the ideal cloak, but finite scatterings exist.

description: The aim of this paper is to design a deep learning-based model to predict proximal femoral strength using multi-view information fusion. Method: We developed new models using multi-view variational autoencoder (MVAE) for feature representation learning and a product of expert (PoE) model for multi-view information fusion. We applied the proposed models to an in-house Louisiana Osteoporosis Study (LOS) cohort with 931 male subjects, including 345 African Americans and 586 Caucasians. With an analytical solution of the product of Gaussian distribution, we adopted variational inference to train the designed MVAE-PoE model to perform common latent feature extraction. We performed genome-wide association studies (GWAS) to select 256 genetic variants with the lowest p-values for each proximal femoral strength and integrated whole genome sequence (WGS) features and DXA-derived imaging features to predict proximal femoral strength. Results: The best prediction model for fall fracture load was acquired by integrating WGS features and DXA-derived imaging features. The designed models achieved the mean absolute percentage error of 18.04%, 6.84% and 7.95% for predicting proximal femoral fracture loads using linear models of fall loading, nonlinear models of fall loading, and nonlinear models of stance loading, respectively. Compared to existing multi-view information fusion methods, the proposed MVAE-PoE achieved the best performance. Conclusion: The proposed models are capable of predicting proximal femoral strength using WGS features and DXA-derived imaging features. Though this tool is not a substitute for FEA using QCT images, it would make improved assessment of hip fracture risk more widely available while avoiding the increased radiation dosage and clinical costs from QCT.

description: The 1919 Eclipse Expedition to test the light-bending prediction of General Relativity remains one of the most famous physics experiments of the 20th century. However, in recent decades it has been increasingly often alleged that the data-analysis of the expedition's leaders was faulty and biased in favor of Einstein's theory. Arthur Stanley Eddington is particularly alleged to have been prejudiced in favor of general relativity. Specifically it is claimed that some of the data, which would have favored the so-called Newtonian prediction, was thrown out on dubious grounds. This paper argues that a close examination of the views of the expedition's organizers, and of their data analysis, suggests that they had good grounds for acting as they did, and that the key people involved, in particular the astronomer Frank Watson Dyson, were not biased in favor of Einstein. It also draws attention to a modern re-analysis of the most important eclipse plates which, though overlooked until now, tends to strongly support the thesis of this paper.

Publisher: name: Routledge
Year: 2024

description: Ethical theories provide frameworks for systematically reflecting on moral issues. However, their use in teaching engineering students is not without criticism. The abstractness, complexity, and nuances involved may overwhelm students, whereas overly simplistic applications often lead to questionable results. This chapter discusses the use of ethical theories, where developing ethical competence is the main learning goal for teaching ethics to engineering students. After mapping the current landscape of engineering ethics education, the chapter presents an overview of the ethical theories most used in engineering ethics education, namely consequentialism, deontology, and virtue ethics, followed by state-of-the-art aspects of the philosophical debate on these theories. The chapter then outlines underrepresented ethical theories and approaches including contractarianism and contractualism, care ethics, and discourse ethics to paint a picture of what ethical theories could contribute to improving ethical competence among students. After a summary of common problems or barriers that students encounter when learning about ethical theories, the chapter concludes by discussing whether ethical theories are needed when teaching engineering students if one sees ethical competence as the main learning goal.
Quadratic fermionic interactions yield effective Hamiltonians for adiabatic quantum computing

description: Polynomially-large ground-state energy gaps are rare in many-body quantum systems, but useful for adiabatic quantum computing. We show analytically that the gap is generically polynomially-large for quadratic fermionic Hamiltonians. We then prove that adiabatic quantum computing can realize the ground states of Hamiltonians with certain random interactions, as well as the ground states of one, two, and three-dimensional fermionic interaction lattices, in polynomial time. Finally, we use the Jordan-Wigner transformation and a related transformation for spin-3/2 particles to show that our results can be restated using spin operators in a surprisingly simple manner. A direct consequence is that the one-dimensional cluster state can be found in polynomial time using adiabatic quantum computing.

description: The LHAASO Collaboration detected the gamma ray burst GRB 221009A at energies above $500 \, {\rm GeV}$ with a tail extending up to $18 \, \rm TeV$, whose spectral analysis has presently been performed up to $7 \, \rm TeV$ for the lower energy instrument LHAASO-WCDA only, with no indication of a cutoff. Soon thereafter, Carpet-2 at Baksan Neutrino Observatory reported the observation of an air shower consistent with being caused by a photon of energy $251 \, {\rm TeV}$ from the same GRB. Given the source redshift $z=0.151$, the expected attenuation due to the extragalactic background light is very severe so that these detections have proven very hard to explain. In this Letter, we show that the existence of axion-like-particles (ALPs) with mass $m_a \simeq (10^{-11}-10^{-7}) \, {\rm eV}$ and two-photon coupling $g_{a γγ} \simeq (3-5) \times 10^{-12} \, {\rm GeV}^{- 1}$ strongly reduce the optical depth of TeV photons, thus explaining the observations. Our ALPs meet all available constraints, are consistent with two previous hints at their existence and are good candidates for cold dark matter. Moreover, we show that Lorentz Invariance Violation (LIV) can explain the Carpet-2 result but not the LHAASO observations.

description: Let $X$ be a Polish space and $K$ a separable compact subset of the first Baire class on $X$. For every sequence $\bs$ dense in $\kk$, the descriptive set-theoretic properties of the set \[ \lbf=\{L\in[\nn]: (f_n)_{n\in L} \text{is pointwise convergent}\} \] are analyzed. It is shown that if $K$ is not first countable, then $\lbf$ is $\PB^1_1$-complete. This can also happen even if $K$ is a pre-metric compactum of degree at most two, in the sense of S. Todorcevic. However, if $K$ is of degree exactly two, then $\lbf$ is always Borel. A deep result of G. Debs implies that $\lbf$ contains a Borel cofinal set and this gives a tree-representation of $\kk$. We show that classical ordinal assignments of Baire-1 functions are actually $\PB^1_1$-ranks on $\kk$. We also provide an example of a $\SB^1_1$ Ramsey-null subset $A$ of $[\nn]$ for which there does not exist a Borel set $B\supseteq A$ such that the difference $B\setminus A$ is Ramsey-null.

description: We compute the probability to detect long Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs) at z>5 with Swift, assuming that GRBs form preferentially in low-metallicity environments. The model fits well both the observed BATSE and Swift GRB differential peak flux distribution and is consistent with the number of z>2.5 detections in the 2-year Swift data. We find that the probability to observe a burst at z>5 becomes larger than 10% for photon fluxes P<1 ph s^{-1} cm^{-2}, consistent with the number of confirmed detections. The corresponding fraction of z>5 bursts in the Swift catalog is ~10%-30% depending on the adopted metallicity threshold for GRB formation. We propose to use the computed probability as a tool to identify high redshift GRBs. By jointly considering promptly-available information provided by Swift and model results, we can select reliable z>5 candidates in a few hours from the BAT detection. We test the procedure against last year Swift data: only three bursts match all our requirements, two being confirmed at z>5.

description: Legal case matching, which automatically constructs a model to estimate the similarities between the source and target cases, has played an essential role in intelligent legal systems. Semantic text matching models have been applied to the task where the source and target legal cases are considered as long-form text documents. These general-purpose matching models make the predictions solely based on the texts in the legal cases, overlooking the essential role of the law articles in legal case matching. In the real world, the matching results (e.g., relevance labels) are dramatically affected by the law articles because the contents and the judgments of a legal case are radically formed on the basis of law. From the causal sense, a matching decision is affected by the mediation effect from the cited law articles by the legal cases, and the direct effect of the key circumstances (e.g., detailed fact descriptions) in the legal cases. In light of the observation, this paper proposes a model-agnostic causal learning framework called Law-Match, under which the legal case matching models are learned by respecting the corresponding law articles. Given a pair of legal cases and the related law articles, Law-Match considers the embeddings of the law articles as instrumental variables (IVs), and the embeddings of legal cases as treatments. Using IV regression, the treatments can be decomposed into law-related and law-unrelated parts, respectively reflecting the mediation and direct effects. These two parts are then combined with different weights to collectively support the final matching prediction. We show that the framework is model-agnostic, and a number of legal case matching models can be applied as the underlying models. Comprehensive experiments show that Law-Match can outperform state-of-the-art baselines on three public datasets.

Spectroscopic Confirmation of the Fifth Image of SDSS J1004+4112 and Implications for the M_BH-sigma_* Relation at z=0.68

description: We present the results of deep spectroscopy for the central region of the cluster lens SDSS J1004+4112 with the Subaru telescope. A secure detection of an emission line of the faint blue stellar object (component E) near the center of the brightest cluster galaxy (G1) confirms that it is the central fifth image of the lensed quasar system. In addition, we measure the stellar velocity dispersion of G1 to be sigma_* = 352+-13 km/s. We combine these results to obtain constraints on the mass M_BH of the putative black hole (BH) at the center of the inactive galaxy G1, and hence on the M_BH-sigma_* relation at the lens redshift z_l=0.68. From detailed mass modeling, we place an upper limit on the black hole mass, M_BH < 2.1x10^{10}M_sun at 1-sigma level (<3.1x10^{10}M_sun at 3-sigma), which is consistent with black hole masses expected from the local and redshift-evolved M_BH-sigma_* relations, M_BH~10^{9}-10^{10}M_sun.

description: Microwave transmission measurements were performed for a three-dimensional (3D) layer-by-layer chiral photonic crystal (PhC), whose photonic band structure contains 3D singular points, Weyl points. For the frequency and wavevector in the vicinity of a Weyl point, the transmitted intensity was found to be inversely proportional to the square of the propagation length. In addition, the transmitted wave was well-collimated in the plane parallel to the PhC layers, even for point-source incidence. When a plane wave was incident on the PhC containing metal scatters, the planar wavefront was reconstructed after the transmission, indicating a cloaking effect.

description: Agriculture’s total impact on the Maryland economy was $8.25 billion in 2010, accounting for over 22,000 jobs. According to the 2012 Census of Agriculture, Maryland had over 12,000 agricultural operations producing a diverse range of agricultural commodities: poultry, dairy, grain, equine, nursery, greenhouse products to name just a few. This article highlights results from a University of Maryland’s Agriculture Law Education Initiative (ALEI) needs assessment in 2013. The assessment provided the legal community a deeper understanding of the legal needs of the state’s agricultural producers. The assessment consisted of 23 structured interviews and a survey of University of Maryland Extension (UME) agricultural faculty. Legal issues related to environmental regulations, land use, Maryland Department of Agriculture (MDA) programs, business planning, and marketing and diversification ranked near the top on both the UME survey and the structured interviews. UME survey results show potential regional differences among the top legal issues. For instance, on Maryland’s Eastern Shore, legal issues related to the environment, divorce, and debt were important, whereas in Southern Maryland legal issues related to the environment, estate planning, and business planning were seen as important. Finally, the survey results suggest the appropriate form of outreach on many of these issues.Results from the structured interviews and UME survey provide ALEI a wealth of information and understanding on the legal issues that impact the Maryland agricultural community. The information in this initial needs assessment will also aid attorneys, state agencies, members of the Maryland General Assembly, and other groups working with the state’s agriculture community in understanding the agricultural community’s legal issues.
Analysis and numerical approximation of energy-variational solutions to the Ericksen--Leslie equations

description: We define the concept of energy-variational solutions for the Ericksen--Leslie equations in three spatial dimensions. This solution concept is finer than dissipative solutions and satisfies the weak-strong uniqueness property. For a certain choice of the regularity weight, the existence of energy-variational solutions implies the existence of measure-valued solutions and for a different choice, we construct an energy-variational solution with the help of an implementable, structure-inheriting space-time discretization. Computational studies are performed in order to provide some evidence of the applicability of the proposed algorithm.

description: Several researchers have recently investigated the connection between reinforcement learning and classification. We are motivated by proposals of approximate policy iteration schemes without value functions which focus on policy representation using classifiers and address policy learning as a supervised learning problem. This paper proposes variants of an improved policy iteration scheme which addresses the core sampling problem in evaluating a policy through simulation as a multi-armed bandit machine. The resulting algorithm offers comparable performance to the previous algorithm achieved, however, with significantly less computational effort. An order of magnitude improvement is demonstrated experimentally in two standard reinforcement learning domains: inverted pendulum and mountain-car.

description: Terrorist attacks have become a growing threat worldwide in recent years. Explosive devices, the weapon of choice for a majority of terrorist attacks, significantly threaten civilian and military personnel. Accordingly it is very important to protect critical buildings against blast loads with the main goal of preventing loss of life of the occupants. The research detailed within this dissertation will investigate innovative smart structures, including the mitigation of damage and loss of life under blast loading through base isolated structures combined with supplemental passive control devices without compromising the innate seismic protection that base isolation provides. The focus of this dissertation is the development and simulation of multiple control strategies for multi-story structures subjected to surface blasts and seismic excitations. The goal is to study and improve the response of base isolated structures under blast loadings and simultaneously keep the same level or better performance under earthquakes through alternative energy dissipation systems.
