description: MicroRNA 34a (miR-34a) is elevated in the heart in a setting of cardiac stress or pathology, and we previously reported that inhibition of miR-34a in vivo provided protection in a setting of pressure overload-induced pathological cardiac hypertrophy and dilated cardiomyopathy. Prior work had also shown that circulating or cardiac miR-34a was elevated in a setting of diabetes. However, the therapeutic potential of inhibiting miR-34a in vivo in the diabetic heart had not been assessed. In the current study, type 1 diabetes was induced in adult male mice with 5 daily injections of streptozotocin (STZ). At 8 weeks post-STZ, when mice had established type 1 diabetes and diastolic dysfunction, mice were administered locked nucleic acid (LNA)-antimiR-34a or saline-control with an eight-week follow-up. Cardiac function, cardiac morphology, cardiac fibrosis, capillary density and gene expression were assessed. Diabetic mice presented with high blood glucose, elevated liver and kidney weights, diastolic dysfunction, mild cardiac enlargement, cardiac fibrosis and reduced myocardial capillary density. miR-34a was elevated in the heart of diabetic mice in comparison to non-diabetic mice. Inhibition of miR-34a had no significant effect on diastolic function or atrial enlargement, but had a mild effect on preventing an elevation in cardiac enlargement, fibrosis and ventricular gene expression of B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) and the anti-angiogenic miRNA (miR-92a). A miR-34a target, vinculin, was inversely correlated with miR-34a expression, but other miR-34a targets were unchanged. In summary, inhibition of miR-34a provided limited protection in a mouse model with established type 1 diabetes-induced cardiomyopathy and failed to improve diastolic function. Given diabetes represents a systemic disorder with numerous miRNAs dysregulated in the diabetic heart, as well as other organs, strategies targeting multiple miRNAs and/or earlier intervention is likely to be required.

description: In multicomponent metallic glasses, we demonstrate that diffusion and secondary (β) relaxation are closely related. The diffusion motion of the smallest constituting atoms takes place within the temperature and time regimes where the β relaxations are activated, and, in particular, the two processes have similar activation energies. We suggest cooperative stringlike atomic motion plays an important role in both processes. This finding provides additional insights into the structural origin of the β relaxations as well as the mechanisms of diffusions in metallic glasses.

description: We present results from the first phase of the KamLAND-Zen double-beta decay experiment, corresponding to an exposure of 89.5 kg yr of Xe-136. We obtain a lower limit for the neutrinoless double-beta decay half-life of T_{1/2}^{0{\nu}} > 1.9 x 10^{25} yr at 90% C.L. The combined results from KamLAND-Zen and EXO-200 give T_{1/2}^{0{\nu}} > 3.4 x 10^{25} yr at 90% C.L., which corresponds to a Majorana neutrino mass limit of < (120-250) meV based on a representative range of available matrix element calculations. Using those calculations, this result excludes the Majorana neutrino mass range expected from the neutrinoless double-beta decay detection claim in Ge-76, reported by a part of the Heidelberg-Moscow Collaboration, at more than 97.5% C.L.

description: We present an ab initio determination of spin responses of the unitary Fermi gas, based on finite temperature quantum Monte Carlo calculations and the Kubo linear-response formalism. We determine the temperature dependence of the spin susceptibility and the spin conductivity. We show that both quantities exhibit suppression above the critical temperature of the superfluid to normal phase transition due to presence of the Cooper pairs. The spin diffusion transport coefficient does not display the existence of a minimum in the vicinity of the critical temperature and it drops to very low values D_s approx 0.8hbar/m in the superfluid phase. All these spin observables show a smooth and monotonic behavior with temperature when crossing the critical temperature T_c, until the Fermi liquid regime is attained at the temperature T*, where the pseudogap regime disappears.
Reconstructing the interaction between dark energy and dark matter using Gaussian Processes

description: We present a nonparametric approach to reconstruct the interaction between dark energy and dark matter directly from SNIa Union 2.1 data using Gaussian processes, which is a fully Bayesian approach for smoothing data. In this method, once the equation of state ($w$) of dark energy is specified, the interaction can be reconstructed as a function of redshift. For the decaying vacuum energy case with $w=-1$, the reconstructed interaction is consistent with the standard $Λ$CDM model, namely, there is no evidence for the interaction. This also holds for the constant $w$ cases from $-0.9$ to $-1.1$ and for the Chevallier-Polarski-Linder (CPL) parametrization case. If the equation of state deviates obviously from $-1$, the reconstructed interaction exists at $95\%$ confidence level. This shows the degeneracy between the interaction and the equation of state of dark energy when they get constraints from the observational data.

description: An ergodic system subjected to an external periodic drive will be generically heated to infinite temperature. However, if the applied frequency is larger than the typical energy scale of the local Hamiltonian, this heating stops during a prethermal period that extends exponentially with the frequency. During this prethermal period, the system may manifest an emergent symmetry that, if spontaneously broken, will produce sub-harmonic oscillation of the discrete time crystal (DTC). We study the role of dissipation on the survival time of the prethermal DTC. On one hand, a bath coupling increases the prethermal period by slowing down the accumulation of errors that eventually destroy prethermalization. On the other hand, the spontaneous symmetry breaking is destabilized by interaction with environment. The result of this competition is a non-monotonic variation, i.e. the survival time of the prethermal DTC first increases and then decreases as the environment coupling gets stronger.

description: From ultracold atoms to quantum chromodynamics, reliable ab initio studies of strongly interacting fermions require numerical methods, typically in some form of quantum Monte Carlo calculation. Unfortunately, (non)relativistic systems at finite density (spin polarization) generally have a sign problem, such that those ab initio calculations are impractical. It is well-known, however, that in the relativistic case imaginary chemical potentials solve this problem, assuming the data can be analytically continued to the real axis. Is this feasible for nonrelativistic systems? Are the interesting features of the phase diagram accessible in this manner? By introducing complex chemical potentials, for real total particle number and imaginary polarization, the sign problem is avoided in the nonrelativistic case. To give a first answer to the above questions, we perform a mean-field study of the finite-temperature phase diagram of spin-1/2 fermions with imaginary polarization.

description: Motivated by advanced progress in the holographic theory between rotating black holes and CFT, we explore the conformal invariance on dyonic Kerr-Sen black hole and its gauged family. We consider a neutral massless scalar probe on the black holes' background within the low-frequency limit and exhibit that the solution space possesses $SL(2,R)\times SL(2,R)$ isometry. The periodic identification of the azimuthal angle corresponds to the spontaneous conformal symmetry breaking by temperatures $T_L,T_R$. Using the computation of the central charges on Ref. [25] that we recalculate by considering the contributions of all associated fields, we successfully derive the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy from Cardy entropy formula. Furthermore, we also calculate the absorption cross-section from gravity side for generic non-extremal dyonic Kerr-Sen black hole and near-extremal gauged dyonic Kerr-Sen black hole. Our calculations show that those quantities are in a perfect match with the calculation from CFT. Therefore, our findings further support the duality between rotating black holes and CFTs.

description: We present a high-precision determination of the universal contact parameter in a strongly interacting Fermi gas. In a trapped gas at unitarity, we find the contact to be 3.06±0.08 at a temperature of 0.08 of the Fermi temperature in a harmonic trap. The contact governs the high-momentum (short-range) properties of these systems, and this low-temperature measurement provides a new benchmark for the zero-temperature homogeneous contact. The experimental measurement utilizes Bragg spectroscopy to obtain the dynamic and static structure factors of ultracold Fermi gases at high momentum in the unitarity and molecular Bose-Einstein condensate regimes. We have also performed quantum Monte Carlo calculations of the static properties, extending from the weakly coupled BCS regime to the strongly coupled Bose-Einstein condensate case, that show agreement with experiment at the level of a few percent.

description: We derive and compute effective valence-space shell-model interactions from ab initio coupled-cluster theory and apply them to open-shell and neutron-rich oxygen and carbon isotopes. Our shell-model interactions are based on nucleon-nucleon and three-nucleon forces from chiral effective-field theory. We compute the energies of ground and low-lying states, and find good agreement with experiment. In particular, our computed 2 + states are consistent with N=14,16 shell closures in 22,24O, and a weaker N=14 shell closure in 20C. We find good agreement between our coupled-cluster effective-interaction results with those obtained from standard single-reference coupled-cluster calculations for up to eight valence neutrons.

description: Equation of long-range particle drift and diffusion on three-dimensional physical lattice is suggested. This equation can be considered as a lattice analogof space-fractional Fokker-Planck equation for continuum. The lattice approach gives a possible microstructural basis for anomalous diffusion in media that are characterized by the non-locality of power-law type. In continuum limit the suggested three-dimensional lattice Fokker-Planck equations give fractional Fokker-Planck equations for continuous media with power-law non-locality that is described by derivatives of non-integer orders. The consistent derivation of the fractional Fokker-Planck equation is proposed as a new basis to describe space-fractional diffusion processes.

description: The 1+/2 -> 1+/2 superallowed mixed mirror decay of Ne-19 to F-19 is excellently suited for high precision studies of the weak interaction. However, there is some disagreement on the value of the half-life. In a new measurement we have determined this quantity to be T-1/2 = 17.2832 +/- 0.0051((stat)) +/- 0.0066((syst)) s, which differs from the previous world average by 3 standard deviations. The impact of this measurement on limits for physics beyond the standard model such as the presence of tensor currents is discussed.

description: We study optimal synchronization in networks of heterogeneous phase oscillators. Our main result is the derivation of a synchrony alignment function that encodes the interplay between network structure and oscillators' frequencies and can be readily optimized. We highlight its utility in two general problems: constrained frequency allocation and network design. In general, we find that synchronization is promoted by strong alignments between frequencies and the dominant Laplacian eigenvectors, as well as a qualitative matching between the heterogeneity of frequencies and network structure.

description: Consumers are reluctant to adopt service robots because they perceive them as lacking human-like cognitive and affective abilities. Increasing anthropomorphism - the attribution of mental states to nonhuman agents - can therefore facilitate robot adoption. This research identifies an antecedent to robot anthropomorphism: Self-view. Five studies show that interdependent (vs. independent) individuals hold more favourable attitudes towards service robots. This relationship is mediated by the interdependents' tendency to perceive robots as more similar to the self and ascribe more human-like features to them. This research contributes to the AI and anthropomorphism literature and provides a strategy for facilitating robot adoption.
Convexity of the Entanglement Entropy of SU( 2 N )-Symmetric Fermions with Attractive Interactions
Creators: name: Porter, William J.

Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2015

description: The positivity of the probability measure of attractively interacting systems of $2N$-component fermions enables the derivation of an exact convexity property for the ground-state energy of such systems. Using analogous arguments, applied to path-integral expressions for the entanglement entropy derived recently, we prove non-perturbative analytic relations for the R\'enyi entropies of those systems. These relations are valid for all sub-system sizes, particle numbers and dimensions, and in arbitrary external trapping potentials.
Pressure, Compressibility, and Contact of the Two-Dimensional Attractive Fermi Gas

description: Using ab initio lattice methods, we calculate the finite temperature thermodynamics of homogeneous two-dimensional spin-1/2 fermions with attractive short-range interactions. We present results for the density, pressure, compressibility, and quantum anomaly (i.e., Tan's contact) for a wide range of temperatures (mostly above the superfluid phase, including the pseudogap regime) and coupling strengths, focusing on the unpolarized case. Within our statistical and systematic uncertainties, our prediction for the density equation of state differs quantitatively from the prediction by Luttinger-Ward theory in the strongly coupled region of parameter space, but otherwise agrees well with it. We also compare our calculations with the second- and third-order virial expansion, with which they are in excellent agreement in the low-fugacity regime.

description: We describe experiments and simulations demonstrating the propulsion of a neutrally buoyant swimmer that consists of a pair of spheres attached by a spring, immersed in a vibrating fluid. The vibration of the fluid induces relative motion of the spheres which, for sufficiently large amplitudes, can lead to motion of the center of mass of the two spheres. We find that the swimming speed obtained from both experiment and simulation agree and collapse onto a single curve if plotted as a function of the streaming Reynolds number, suggesting that the propulsion is related to streaming flows. There appears to be a critical onset value of the streaming Reynolds number for swimming to occur. We observe a change in the streaming flows as the Reynolds number increases, from that generated by two independent oscillating spheres to a collective flow pattern around the swimmer as a whole. The mechanism for swimming is traced to a strengthening of a jet of fluid in the wake of the swimmer.

We uncover nonintuitive, multi-time-scale behavior gauged by a new statistic, which we term "geometric skewness" S^{G}, which measures instantaneously forming asymmetries at short times due to flow geometry. This signature distinguishes elliptical pipes of any aspect ratio, for which S^{G}=0, from rectangular ducts whose S^{G} is generically nonzero, and, interestingly, shows that a special duct of aspect ratio ≈0.53335 behaves like a circular pipe as its geometric skewness vanishes. Using a combination of exact solutions, novel short-time asymptotics, and Monte Carlo simulations, we establish the relevant time scales for plateaus and extrema in the evolution of the skewness and kurtosis for our class of geometries. For ducts limiting to channel geometries, we present new exact, single-series formulas for the first four moments on slices used to benchmark Monte Carlo simulations.

description: Discrete time crystal (DTC) has recently attracted increasing attention, but most DTC models and their properties are only revealed after disorder average. In this Letter, we propose a simple disorder-free periodically driven model that exhibits nontrivial DTC order stabilized by Stark many-body localization (MBL). We demonstrate the existence of DTC phase by analytical analysis from perturbation theory and convincing numerical evidence from observable dynamics. The new DTC model paves a new promising way for further experiments and deepens our understanding of DTC. Since the DTC order doesn't require special quantum state preparation and the strong disorder average, it can be naturally realized on the noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) hardware with much fewer resources and repetitions. Moreover, besides the robust subharmonic response, there are other novel robust beating oscillations in Stark-MBL DTC phase which are absent in random or quasi-periodic MBL DTC.

description: We calculate the zero-temperature equation of state of mass-imbalanced resonant Fermi gases in an ab initio fashion, by implementing the recent proposal of imaginary-valued mass difference to bypass the sign problem in lattice Monte Carlo calculations. The fully non-perturbative results thus obtained are analytically continued to real mass imbalance to yield the physical equation of state, providing predictions for upcoming experiments with mass-imbalanced atomic Fermi gases. In addition, we present an exact relation for the rate of change of the equation of state at small mass imbalances, showing that it is fully determined by the energy of the mass-balanced system.

description: The world averaged values of the electroweak and strong couplings and the lower limits on the proton lifetime are used for consistency checks of grand unified theories (GUTs). It is confirmed that new physics outside the standard model (SM) is required to obtain unification of the electroweak and strong forces. Such new physics could come from the minimal supersymmetric extension of the SM, which provides unification consistent with the present limits on the proton lifetime, but also non-supersymmetric models based on additional split multiplets show similar unification properties. The results can be summarized as constraints on the slope differences of the coupling constants. These conditions have to be satisfied by any unified model having a single threshold at about 1 TeV, but cannot distinguish between them. Only future experiments will be able to do so.

description: When the GUT relation on gaugino masses is relaxed, the mass and composition of the lightest neutralino are different from those in the GUT case. We discuss its phenomenological implications on the relic abundance of the neutralinos and on superparticle searches. In particular, we focus on the case where the neutral component of winos dominates the lightest neutralino. It turns out that the wino-LSP is not a candidate for the dark matter.

description: Precision laser spectroscopy is key to many developments in atomic and molecular physics and the advancement of related technologies such as atomic clocks and sensors. However, in important spectroscopic scenarios, such as astronomy and remote sensing, the light is of thermal origin and interferometric or diffractive spectrometers typically replace laser spectroscopy. In this work, we employ laser-based heterodyne radiometry to measure incoherent light sources in the near-infrared and introduce techniques for absolute frequency calibration with a laser frequency comb. Measuring the solar continuum, we obtain a signal-to-noise ratio that matches the fundamental quantum-limited prediction given by the thermal photon distribution and our system's efficiency, bandwidth, and averaging time. With resolving power R~1,000,000 we determine the center frequency of an iron line in the solar spectrum to sub-MHz absolute frequency uncertainty in under 10 minutes, a fractional precision 1/4000 the linewidth. Additionally, we propose concepts that take advantage of refractive beam shaping to decrease the effects of pointing instabilities by 100x, and of frequency comb multiplexing to increase data acquisition rates and spectral bandwidths by comparable factors. Taken together, our work brings the power of telecommunications photonics and the precision of frequency comb metrology to laser heterodyne radiometry, with implications for solar and astronomical spectroscopy, remote sensing, and precise Doppler velocimetry.

description: Dans les classes secondaires, l’enseignement de la conjugaison demeure la plupart du temps isolé de celui des autres éléments de la structuration de la langue et de la discipline globale du français. Ce phénomène se retrouve également dans le PER qui traite de la conjugaison dans un chapitre séparé des autres aspects du fonctionnement de la langue. Cet enseignement s’effectue le plus fréquemment par l’apprentissage par cœur de tableaux de verbes conjugués et met l’accent sur les irrégularités, ce qui ne facilite pas la mémorisation des formes verbales par les élèves. L’objectif de ce mémoire consiste à présenter les axes théoriques recommandés par les didacticiens de l’enseignement rénové qui considèrent la conjugaison comme la compréhension d’un système dont il faut relever les régularités et l’appréhendent dans une démarche progressive. Selon eux, le verbe doit être enseigné en lien avec son rôle syntaxique et son orthographe en ce qui concerne sa morphologie pour améliorer son apprentissage. La contextualisation dans la lecture et l’écriture joue également un rôle essentiel. Dans cette recherche, il s’agit donc de vérifier si les pratiques déclarées de cinq enseignants d’un établissement vaudois sont en adéquation avec les recommandations des didacticiens. Ces pratiques enseignantes ont été rapportées lors d’entretiens semi-directifs, puis elles ont été analysées. En outre, cette recherche propose des principes pour construire une séquence d’apprentissage de la conjugaison et des pistes pour rendre l’enseignement de cette matière plus efficace tant au niveau de la mémorisation que de la compréhension.

description: We show that the BRST operator of Neveu-Schwarz-Ramond superstring is closely related to de Rham differential on the moduli space of decorated super-Riemann surfaces . We develop formalism where superstring amplitudes are computed via integration of some differential forms over a section of over the super moduli space . We show that the result of integration does not depend on the choice of section when all the states are BRST physical. Our approach is based on the geometrical theory of integration on supermanifolds of which we give a short review.

description: In Multi-Channel Multi-Radio Wireless Mesh Networks (MCMR-WMN), finding the optimal routing by satisfying the Quality of Service (QoS) constraints is an ambitious task. Multiple paths are available from the source node to the gateway for reliability, and sometimes it is necessary to deal with failures of the link in WMN. A major challenge in a MCMR-WMN is finding the routing with QoS satisfied and an interference free path from the redundant paths, in order to transmit the packets through this path. The Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) is an optimization technique to find the candidate solution in the search space optimally, and it applies artificial intelligence to solve the routing problem. On the other hand, the Genetic Algorithm (GA) is a population based meta-heuristic optimization algorithm inspired by the natural evolution, such as selection,mutation and crossover. PSO can easily fall into a local optimal solution, at the same time GA is not suitable for dynamic data due to the underlying dynamic network. In this paper we propose an optimal intelligent routing, using a Hybrid PSO-GA, which also meets the QoS constraints. Moreover, it integrates the strength of PSO and GA. The QoS constraints, such as bandwidth, delay, jitter and interference are transformed into penalty functions. The simulation results show that the hybrid approach outperforms PSO and GA individually, and it takes less convergence time comparatively, keeping away from converging prematurely. Keywords: Wireless mesh networks, Multi-radio, Multi-channel, Particle swarm optimization, Genetic algorithm, Quality of service.
