description: Accelerated Stokesian Dynamics (ASD) simulation and a microstructural theory are applied to study structure and the viscosity of hard-sphere Brownian suspensions in active microrheology (MR).We consider moderate to dense suspensions, from near to far from equilibrium conditions.The theory explicitly considers many-body hydrodynamic interactions (HIs) in active MR, and is compared with ASD.Two conditions of moving the probe with constant force (CF) and constant velocity (CV) are considered.The structure is quantified using the probability distribution of colloidal particles around the probe, g(r), which is computed as a solution to the pair Smoluchowski equation (SE) for 0.2>1 for CF while it continuously grows in CV.This contrast in behavior is related to the dispersion in the motion of the probe under CF conditions, while CV motion has no dispersion.This effect is incorporated in the theory as a force-induced hydrodynamic diffusion flux in the pair SE. We also demonstrate that, despite this difference of structure in CF and CV, g(r) near the probe is set by Pe, for both CF and CV resulting in similar values for their viscosity.Using the theory, the structural anisotropy and Brownian viscosity near equilibrium are shown to be quantitatively similar in both CF and CV motions, which is in contrast with the dilute theory which predict distortions and Brownian viscosities twice as large in CV, relative to CF.This difference arises due to the many-body interactions associated with the equilibrium structure in the moderate to dense regime.

description: We report neutron inelastic scattering experiments on single crystal PbMg$_{1/3}$Nb$_{2/3}$O$_{3}$ doped with 32\% PbTiO$_{3}$, a relaxor ferroelectric that lies close to the morphotropic phase boundary. When cooled under an electric field $\mathbf{E} \parallel$ [001] into tetragonal and monoclinic phases, the scattering cross section from transverse acoustic (TA) phonons polarized parallel to $\mathbf{E}$ weakens and shifts to higher energy relative to that under zero-field-cooled conditions. Likewise, the scattering cross section from transverse optic (TO) phonons polarized parallel to $\mathbf{E}$ weakens for energy transfers $4 \leq \hbar ω\leq 9$ meV. However, TA and TO phonons polarized perpendicular to $\mathbf{E}$ show no change. This anisotropic field response is similar to that of the diffuse scattering cross section, which, as previously reported, is suppressed when polarized parallel to $\mathbf{E}$, but not when polarized perpendicular to $\mathbf{E}$. Our findings suggest that the lattice dynamics and dynamic short-range polar correlations that give rise to the diffuse scattering are coupled.

description: We consider the phase diagram of twisted mass Wilson fermions of two-flavor QCD in the parameter space of the quark mass, the isospin chemical potential, the twist angle and the lattice spacing. This work extends earlier studies in the continuum and those at zero chemical potential. We evaluate the phase diagram as well as the spectrum of the (pseudo-)Goldstone bosons using the chiral Lagrangian for twisted mass Wilson fermions at non-zero isospin chemical potential. The phases are obtained from a mean field analysis. At zero twist angle we find that already an infinitesimal isospin chemical potential destroys the Aoki phase. The reason is that in this phase we have massless Goldstone bosons with a non-zero isospin charge. At finite twist angle only two different phases are present, one phase which is continuously connected to the Bose condensed phase at non-zero chemical potential and another phase which is continuously connected to the normal phase. For either zero or maximal twist the phase diagram is more complicated as the saddle point equations allow for more solutions.

Spontaneous CP Violation in Lepton-sector: a common origin for $θ_{13}$, Dirac CP phase and leptogenesis
Creators: name: Karmakar, Biswajit
name: Sil, Arunansu
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A possible interplay between the two terms of the general type-II seesaw formula is exercised which leads to the generation of nonzero $θ_{13}$. The specific flavor structure of the model, guided by the $A_4 \times Z_4 \times Z_3$ symmetry and accompanied with the Standard Model singlet flavons, yields the conventional seesaw contribution to produce the tribimaximal lepton mixing which is further corrected by the presence of the $SU(2)_L$ triplet contribution to accommodate $θ_{13}$. We consider the CP symmetry to be spontaneously broken by the complex vacuum expectation value (vev) of a singlet field $S$. While the magnitude of its complex vev is responsible for generating $θ_{13}$, its phase part induces the low energy CP violating phase ($δ$) and the CP violation required for leptogenesis. Hence the triplet contribution, although sub-dominant, plays crucial role in providing a common source for non-zero $θ_{13}$, $δ$ and CP-violation required for leptogenesis. We find that the recent hint for $δ$ close to $3π/2$ is somewhat favored in this set-up though it excludes the exact equality with $3π/2$. We also discuss the generation of lepton asymmetry in this scenario.

description: Soft materials with layered structure such as membranes, block copolymers, and smectics exhibit intriguing morphologies with nontrivial curvatures. We report on restructuring the Gaussian and mean curvatures of smectic A films with free surface in the process of sintering, i.e. reshaping at elevated temperatures. The pattern of alternating patches of negative, zero, and positive mean curvature of the air-smectic interface has a profound effect on the rate of sublimation. As a result of sublimation, condensation, and restructuring, initially equilibrium smectic films with negative and zero Gaussian curvature are transformed into structures with pronounced positive Gaussian curvature of layers packing, seldom seen in samples obtained by cooling from the isotropic melt. The observed relationship between the curvatures, bulk elastic behaviour, and interfacial geometries in sintering of smectic liquid crystals paves the way for new approaches to control soft morphologies at micron and submicron scales.

description: We address the study of the \Ha\ vertical velocity field in a sample of four nearly face-on galaxies using long slit spectroscopy taken with the ISIS spectrograph attached to the WHT at the Roque de los Muchachos Observatory (Spain). The spatial structure of the velocity vertical component shows a radial corrugated pattern with spatial scales higher or within the order of { one} kiloparsec. The gas is mainly ionized by high-energy photons: only in some locations of NGC~278 and NGC~1058 is there some evidence of ionization by low-velocity shocks, which, in the case of NGC~278, could be due to minor mergers. The behaviour of the gas in the neighbourhood of the spiral arms fits, in the majority of the observed cases, with that predicted by the so-called hydraulic bore mechanism, where a thick magnetized disk encounters a spiral density perturbation. The results obtained show that it is { difficult to explain the \Ha\ large scale velocity field without the presence of a magnetized, thick galactic disk}. Larger samples and spatial covering of the galaxy disks are needed to provide further insight into this problem.

description: In light of the third wave of autocratization and wide-spread worries about citizens turning away from democracy, this research project tests the effectiveness of “democratic talk” as a means of countering democratic fatigue among German citizens. Specifically, we design and implement a field experiment that tests the proposition that debate between political representatives and citizens in the context of online town halls can foster public support for liberal democracy. We think that online town halls are particularly effective when the subject of democracy is explicitly discussed, and politicians engage with citizens’ concerns about democratic processes.

description: Temperature is one of the defining parameters of an ecological niche. Most organisms thrive within a temperature range that rarely exceeds ~30 °C, but the deep subsurface bacterium Kosmotoga olearia can grow over a temperature range of 59 °C (20–79 °C). To identify genes correlated with this flexible phenotype, we compared transcriptomes of K. olearia cultures grown at its optimal 65 °C to those at 30, 40, and 77 °C. The temperature treatments affected expression of 573 of 2224 K. olearia genes. Notably, this transcriptional response elicits re-modeling of the cellular membrane and changes in metabolism, with increased expression of genes involved in energy and carbohydrate metabolism at high temperatures and up-regulation of amino acid metabolism at lower temperatures. At sub-optimal temperatures, many transcriptional changes were similar to those observed in mesophilic bacteria at physiologically low temperatures, including up-regulation of typical cold stress genes and ribosomal proteins. Comparative genomic analysis of additional Thermotogae genomes indicates that one of K. olearia’s strategies for low-temperature growth is increased copy number of some typical cold response genes through duplication and/or lateral acquisition. At 77 °C one-third of the up-regulated genes are of hypothetical function, indicating that many features of high-temperature growth are unknown.

description: The quantum marginal problem asks whether a set of given density matrices are consistent, i.e., whether they can be the reduced density matrices of a global quantum state. Not many non-trivial analytic necessary (or sufficient) conditions are known for the problem in general. We propose a method to detect consistency of overlapping quantum marginals by considering the separability of some derived states. Our method works well for the $k$-symmetric extension problem in general, and for the general overlapping marginal problems in some cases. Our work is, in some sense, the converse to the well-known $k$-symmetric extension criterion for separability.

description: We present a specific heat measurement technique adapted to thin or very thin suspended membranes from low temperature (8 K) to 300 K. The presented device allows the measurement of the heat capacity of a 70 ng silicon nitride membrane (50 or 100 nm thick), corresponding to a heat capacity of 1.4x10$^{-10}$ J/K at 8 K and 5.1x10$^{-8}$ J/K at 300 K. Measurements are performed using the 3$ω$ method coupled to the V$\ddot{o}$lklein geometry. This configuration allows the measurement of both specific heat and thermal conductivity within the same experiment. A transducer (heater/thermometer) is used to create an oscillation of the heat flux on the membrane; the voltage oscillation appearing at the third harmonic which contains the thermal information is measured using a Wheatstone bridge set-up. The heat capacity measurement is performed by measuring the variation of the 3$ω$ voltage over a wide frequency range and by fitting the experimental data using a thermal model adapted to the heat transfer across the membrane. The experimental data are compared to a regular Debye model; the specific heat exhibits features commonly seen for glasses at low temperature.

description: The inner Galactic Bulge has, until recently, been avoided in chemical evolution studies due to extreme extinction and stellar crowding. Large, near-IR spectroscopic surveys, such as APOGEE, allow for the first time the measurement of metallicities in the inner region of our Galaxy. We study metallicities of 33 K/M giants situated in the Galactic Center region from observations obtained with the APOGEE survey. We selected K/M giants with reliable stellar parameters from the APOGEE/ASPCAP pipeline. Distances, interstellar extinction values, and radial velocities were checked to confirm that these stars are indeed situated in the inner Galactic Bulge. We find a metal-rich population centered at [M/H] = +0.4 dex, in agreement with earlier studies of other bulge regions, but also a peak at low metallicity around $\rm [M/H] = -1.0\,dex$, suggesting the presence of a metal-poor population which has not previously been detected in the central region. Our results indicate a dominant metal-rich population with a metal-poor component that is enhanced in the $α$-elements. This metal-poor population may be associated with the classical bulge and a fast formation scenario.

Poverty trends across Brazilian states: the importance of education and left governance, 1987-2006
Creators: name: Carlson, Sabrina M.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2009

description: It is no secret that Latin American poverty trends have long been troubling and Brazil is no exception to this pattern. In this study, I examine poverty trends in Brazil at the subnational level. To do so, I compiled cross-sectional time series data for the 27 Brazilian states for the years 1987-2006. Using OLS regression models, I examine the importance of left governance (at the national and subnational levels) and educational attainment for poverty reduction. Results indicate that both a leftist president and higher average years of educational attainment are negatively related to poverty trends. From this, I conclude that the placement of a left government in power at the executive level, as well as increasing the human capital of the population, are critical for the reduction of poverty.

description: We show that the quantum nature of light can be used to hide a secret message within a photograph. Using this physical principle we achieve information-theoretic secure steganography, which had remained elusive until now. The protocol is such that the digital picture in which the secret message is embedded is perfectly undistinguishable from an ordinary photograph. This implies that, on a fundamental level, it is impossible to discriminate a private communication from an exchange of photographs.

Quantization of Big Bang in crypto-Hermitian Heisenberg picture

description: A background-independent quantization of the Universe near its Big Bang singularity is considered using a drastically simplified toy model. Several conceptual issues are addressed. (1) The observable spatial-geometry characteristics of our empty-space expanding Universe is sampled by the time-dependent operator $Q=Q(t)$ of the distance between two space-attached observers (``Alice and Bob''). (2) For any pre-selected guess of the simple, non-covariant time-dependent observable $Q(t)$ one of the Kato's exceptional points (viz., $t=τ_{(EP)}$) is postulated {\em real-valued}. This enables us to treat it as the time of Big Bang. (3) During our ``Eon'' (i.e., at all $t>τ_{(EP)}$) the observability status of operator $Q(t)$ is mathematically guaranteed by its self-adjoint nature with respect to an {\em ad hoc} Hilbert-space metric $Θ(t) \neq I$. (4) In adiabatic approximation (i.e., in Heisenberg picture) the passage of the Universe through its $t=τ_{(EP)}$ singularity is interpreted as a quantum phase transition between the preceding and the present Eon. It is worth adding that in our model the widely accepted ``Big Bounce'' regularization of the classical Big Bang singularity after quantization gets replaced by the full-fledged quantum degeneracy. At the quantum-phase-transition singularity, operator $Q(τ_{(EP)})$ becomes unobservable and acquires a non-diagonalizable Jordan-block structure.

description: The existence of gapless Dirac surface band of a three dimensional (3D) topological insulator (TI) is guaranteed by the non-trivial topological character of the bulk band, yet the surface band dispersion is mainly determined by the environment near the surface. In this Letter, through in-situ angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) and the first-principles calculation on 3D TI-based van der Waals heterostructures, we demonstrate that one can engineer the surface band structures of 3D TIs by surface modifications without destroying their topological non-trivial property. The result provides an accessible method to independently control the surface and bulk electronic structures of 3D TIs, and sheds lights in designing artificial topological materials for electronic and spintronic purposes.

Verbal acquisition in L2 Spanish
Creators: name: Mory, Jenna Lynn
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2008

description: This study was designed to evaluate verbal agreement in early and late L2 Spanish. The early L2 group included children from local immersion preschools who participated in an elicitation task and spontaneous speech recordings. The late L2 group, consisting of UNC-CH undergraduate students in beginning to intermediate Spanish, was asked to describe pictures in Spanish in a task similar to the child elicitation task. All eligible subject/verb pairs produced were evaluated for accuracy and when not accurate were given a specific code for the error type. The results obtained for the early L2 group lend support to the Morphological Underspecification Hypothesis, proposed by McCarthy (2007). However, contrary to McCarthy (2007), the adult data support the Missing Surface Inflection Hypothesis (Prévost & White (2000b)), rather than the MUSH. Additionally, the child group used significantly more 3rd person singular default forms (consistent with McCarthy (2007) and L1 Spanish) than the adult group.

Modeling adverse liver effects of drugs using kNN QSAR method
Creators: name: Rodgers, Amie D.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2009

description: Adverse drug reactions (ADRs) continue to be a major cause of drug withdrawals both in development and post-marketing. Quantitative Structure Activity Relationship (QSAR) models have been used to predict human ADRs in the heart. While liver ADRs are a major concern for drug safety, there are currently no in silico models for predicting human liver ADRs. The FDA has assembled a database of human liver ADR data on 490 approved drugs. In this study, we construct a QSAR model capable of performing binary classification (active/inactive) for liver ADRs based on chemical structure using the k-nearest neighbor (kNN) method and rigorous external model validation protocols. Models with high sensitivity (>73%) and specificity (>94%) for external test sets were built. Three databases were screened using our models and the predictions were analyzed. We conclude that QSAR modeling of liver ADRs may be useful in screening pre-clinical drug candidates for potential human hepatotoxicity.
Self-Drilling Screw Connections for Pultruded Fibre Reinforced Polymer Composites

description: Fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) materials are light in weight and durable in harsh environments. Self-drilling screw fasteners are convenient for assembling secondary load-carrying members in building structures, as has been demonstrated in thin-walled steel and timber structures. The use of self-drilling screws with pultruded FRP members could provide an efficient and cost-effective solution for the construction of secondary structures. Considering the application in roof structures, this research investigates the mechanical performance of self-drilling screw connections for pultruded FRP members. The design parameters of the connections include gauge size and thread coarseness of the screw, number of screws, and the use of adhesive bonding. Both monotonic and multi-level amplitude cyclic loadings are considered in experimental testing. Analytical and finite element modelling is conducted to characterize the stiffness, strength, and critical stress distribution of the connections.
