Reentrant phenomenon and inverse magnetocaloric effect in a generalized spin-(1/2,s) Fisher's super-exchange antiferromagnet

Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)

description: The thermodynamic and magnetocaloric properties of a generalized spin-$(1/2,s)$ Fisher's super-exchange antiferromagnet are exactly investigated by using the decoration-iteration mapping transformation. Besides the critical temperature, sublattice magnetization, total magnetization, entropy and specific heat, the isothermal entropy change and adiabatic temperature change are rigorously calculated in order to examine cooling efficiency of the model in a vicinity of the first- and second-order phase transitions. It is shown that an enhanced inverse magnetocaloric effect occurs around the temperature interval $T_c(B\neq 0) \lesssim T < T_c(B = 0)$ for any magnetic-field change $ΔB: 0 \to B$. The most pronounced inverse magnetocaloric effect can be found nearby the critical field, which corresponds to the zero-temperature phase transition from the long-range ordered ground state to the paramagnetic one. The observed phenomenon increases with the increasing value of decorating spins. Furthermore, sufficiently high values of decorating spins have also linked to a possibility of observing reentrant phase transitions at finite temperatures.

description: SLHA file listing the superpartner masses and decay channels for the 900 GeV signal chargino in electroweak production
description: CERN-LHC. This paper presents a search for direct electroweak gaugino or gluino pair production with a chargino nearly mass-degenerate with a stable neutralino. It is based on an integrated luminosity of 36.1 fb$^{-1}$ of $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV collected by the ATLAS experiment at the LHC. The final state of interest is a disappearing track accompanied by at least one jet with high transverse momentum from initial-state radiation or by four jets from the gluino decay chain. The use of short track segments reconstructed from the innermost tracking layers significantly improves the sensitivity to short chargino lifetimes. The results are found to be consistent with Standard Model predictions. Exclusion limits are set at 95% confidence level on the mass of charginos and gluinos for different chargino lifetimes. For a pure wino with a lifetime of about 0.2 ns, chargino masses up to 460 GeV are excluded. For the strong production channel, gluino masses up to 1.65 TeV are excluded assuming a chargino mass of 460 GeV and lifetime of 0.2 ns. For the strong production channel, gluino masses up to 1.65 TeV are excluded assuming a chargino mass of 460 GeV and lifetime of 0.2 ns.

description: After identifying the nuclei in the regions near A =80 and A = 160 for which beta-decay rates have the greatest effect on weak and main r-process abundance patterns, we apply the finite-amplitude method (FAM) with Skyrme energy-density functionals (EDFs) to calculate beta-decay half-lives of those nuclei in the quasiparticle random-phase approximation (QRPA). We use the equal filling approximation to extend our implementation of the charge-changing FAM, which incorporates pairing correlations and allows axially symmetric deformation, to odd-A and odd-odd nuclei. Within this framework we find differences of up to a factor of seven between our calculated beta-decay half-lives and those of previous efforts. Repeated calculations with nuclei near A = 160 and multiple EDFs show a spread of two to four in beta-decay half-lives, with differences in calculated Q values playing an important role. We investigate the implications of these results for r-process simulations.

Survival of a nation: from assimilation to reactionary nationalism

description: During the period from the end of World War II to the early 2000's Australia was forced to adapt to the migrant presence if it were to survive as a modern liberal democracy. Migrants were necessary to the economy and the building of the nation after World War II. Immigration was conceived as a mechanism of national survival. But immigrants needed to fit into Anglo-Australian culture, the existing template. Our society thus had two driving needs: a desire to increase population through migration, and a desire to preserve the existing society that had been derived from Great Britain. This thesis argues that one of the central themes of the story of immigration after the war has been the working out of a fundamental dialectic between the demands of the 'body' and that of the 'soul'. These produced, or were propelled by, different conceptions of survival. Evolving settlement policies became ways of resolving the emerging conflict between the numbers and background of migrants and the need to preserve an Anglo-Australian culture. Assimilation and integration were designed firmly to preserve the latter, but multiculturalism had shifted towards maintaining migrant culture and migrant survival within the larger society. But many thought that multiculturalism wasn't a solution, that it undermined Anglo-Australian culture. The pendulum then swung back the other way with John Howard's retreat from multiculturalism and the rise of nationalist reactionary sentiment surrounding Pauline Hanson, Tampa and the Cronulla riots. -- This thesis charts how Australia attempted to resolve this dialectic, to manage large-scale immigration and at the same time preserve the existing Anglo-Australian nation. The greater immigration influx brought a structural tension to Australian society, between maintaining that White Australian culture and incorporating migrants into society. The further settlement policy moved away from White Australia the greater the tensions in society became, witnessing the advent of Pauline Hanson and the Cronulla riots. It became an issue of how the nation might survive that process, and remain viable.

description: The recent discoveries of circumbinary planets by $\it Kepler$ raise questions for contemporary planet formation models. Understanding how these planets form requires characterizing their formation environment, the circumbinary protoplanetary disc, and how the disc and binary interact and change as a result. The central binary excites resonances in the surrounding protoplanetary disc that drive evolution in both the binary orbital elements and in the disc. To probe how these interactions impact binary eccentricity and disc structure evolution, N-body smooth particle hydrodynamics (SPH) simulations of gaseous protoplanetary discs surrounding binaries based on Kepler 38 were run for $10^4$ binary periods for several initial binary eccentricities. We find that nearly circular binaries weakly couple to the disc via a parametric instability and excite disc eccentricity growth. Eccentric binaries strongly couple to the disc causing eccentricity growth for both the disc and binary. Discs around sufficiently eccentric binaries that strongly couple to the disc develop an $m = 1$ spiral wave launched from the 1:3 eccentric outer Lindblad resonance (EOLR) that corresponds to an alignment of gas particle longitude of periastrons. All systems display binary semimajor axis decay due to dissipation from the viscous disc.

description: PtBi2 with a layered trigonal crystal structure was recently reported to exhibit an unconventional large linear magnetoresistance, while the mechanism involved is still elusive. Using high resolution angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy, we present a systematic study on its bulk and surface electronic structure. Through careful comparison with first-principle calculations, our experiment distinguishes the low-lying bulk bands from entangled surface states, allowing the estimation of the real stoichiometry of samples. We find significant electron doping in PtBi2, implying a substantial Bi deficiency induced disorder therein. We discover a Dirac-cone-like surface state on the boundary of the Brillouin zone, which is identified as an accidental Dirac band without topological protection. Our findings exclude quantum-limit-induced linear band dispersion as the cause of the unconventional large linear magnetoresistance.

description: The highly conserved spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC) ensures that the sister chromatids of the duplicated genome are not separated and distributed to the spindle poles before all chromosomes have been properly linked to the microtubules of the mitotic spindle. Biochemically, the SAC delays cell cycle progression by preventing activation of the anaphase-promoting complex (APC/C) or cyclosome; whose activation by Cdc20 is required for sister-chromatid separation, which marks the transition into anaphase. In response to activation of the checkpoint, various species control the activity of both APC/C and Cdc20. However, the underlying regulatory pathways remain largely elusive. In this study, five possible model variants of APC/C regulation were constructed, namely BubR1, Mad2, MCC, MCF2 and an all-pathways model variant. These models are validated with experimental data from the literature. A wide range of parameter values have been tested to find critical values of the APC binding rate. The results show that all variants are able to capture the wild type behaviour of the APC. However, only one model variant, which included both MCC as well as BubR1 as potent inhibitors of the APC, was able to reproduce both wild type and mutant type behaviour of APC regulation. The presented work has successfully distinguished between five competing dynamical models of the same biological system using a systems biology approach. Furthermore, the results suggest that systems-level approach is vital for molecular biology and could also be used for compare the pathways of relevance with the objective to generate hypotheses and improve our understanding.

description: In this paper, we discussed an issue in fuzzy transportation problem, which involves fuzzy costs, fuzzy supply, and fuzzy product needs. The goal of this article is to convey the item from point of origin to point of destination at the least possible cost. For fuzzy transportation problems with balance and unbalance types, the proposed technique provides a superior optimal. Transportation costs, supply, and demand are represented by generalized triangular fuzzy numbers using this proposed named Row Column Maxima Method (RCMM). A numerical example of a fuzzy transportation problem is illustrated and the solution is compared with the outcomes of other approaches. This method reduces iterations and which help to understand and implement easily in real life applications.

description: In the present work, we are going to propose a new transformation called Beta transformation. The new model includes the exponential distribution as a special case and it is known as Beta transformed exponential(BTE) distribution. We have been obtained its various statistical properties such as moments, moment generating function, median, hazard rate function, entropies, and order statistics. Parameters of BTE distribution are estimated by the method of maximum likelihood, Cramer-von-Mises and method of least square. Monte Carlo simulation is performed in order to investigate the performance of these estimates. Finally, two data sets have been analyzed to show how the proposed model works in practice.

description: We present a description of a new instrument development, HARPS3, planned to be installed on an upgraded and roboticized Isaac Newton Telescope by end-2018. HARPS3 will be a high resolution (R = 115,000) echelle spectrograph with a wavelength range from 380-690 nm. It is being built as part of the Terra Hunting Experiment - a future 10 year radial velocity measurement programme to discover Earth-like exoplanets. The instrument design is based on the successful HARPS spectrograph on the 3.6m ESO telescope and HARPS-N on the TNG telescope. The main changes to the design in HARPS3 will be: a customised fibre adapter at the Cassegrain focus providing a stabilised beam feed and on-sky fibre diameter ~ 1.4 arcsec, the implementation of a new continuous flow cryostat to keep the CCD temperature very stable, detailed characterisation of the HARPS3 CCD to map the effective pixel positions and thus provide an improved accuracy wavelength solution, an optimised integrated polarimeter and the instrument integrated into a robotic operation. The robotic operation will optimise our programme which requires our target stars to be measured on a nightly basis. We present an overview of the entire project, including a description of our anticipated robotic operation.

description: This paper deals with the transient state behavior of an M/M/1 retrial queueing model contains two parallel servers with departures occur in batches. At the arrival epoch, if all servers are busy then customers join the retrial group. Whereas, if the customers find any of one server is free then they join the free server and start its service immediately. Here, we assume that primary customers arrive according to Poisson process. The retrial customers also follow the same fashion. Service time follows an exponential distribution. Explicit time dependent probabilities of exact number of arrivals and exact number of departures when both servers are free or when one server is busy or when both servers are busy are obtained by solving the difference differential equation recursively. Some important verification and conversion of two-state model into single state are also discussed. Some of the existing results in the form of special cases have been deduced.
title: The Negotiation of Equality of Opportunity for Emergent Bilingual Children in the English Mainstream Class
Creators: name: Chen, Yangguang
Publisher: name: Goldsmiths, University of London
Year: 2004

description: The thesis is based on the study of Chinese emergent bilingual children in English mainstream classrooms. Participants in the study include three children of newly arrived families and a group of I 3- I 4 year old Chinese students who have lived in Britain for at least 5 years. I use a variety of ethnographic methods to highlight what it means to be a newcomer in the mainstream English classroom. Three themes - isolation, misunderstanding and frustration are highlighted in the pilot study, through which I illustrate the problematic nature of inclusion in the mainstream class, with particular interest in analysing what might be the root of the problematic nature of inclusion in the mainstream class, what 'equality of opportunity' really means to emergent bilingual children as they enter English schools with a limited knowledge of English and the dominant culture, how equal 'the same' curriculum is for them, and how far the provision for them in the present curriculum reflects generally accepted principles for successful second language learning. I conclude that it is the loss of individualism that promotes problems in the mainstreaming of the educational provision. In the main study I investigate the key questions that have arisen from the pilot study, through an ethnographic approach to studying EAL programmes within the framework of the mainstream provision, the role of bilingual peer support in second language learning and the role of parental involvement, I want to identify · what is it that contributed to the success of those older bilingual children?', 'which features in L2 learning have been most significant in explaining some good examples of linguistic support for emergent bilingual children?', whereby I argue that the principle of inclusion does not exclude strategies that involved some withdrawal EAL support out of the mainstream classroom; that an exaggeration of the advantages of bilingual learner diverts attention from the children's need for extra help in English; that the potential cognitive and linguistic advantages of bilingual learners can only be developed through an effective learning environment. Whether or not bilinguality is a positive asset depends on how those emergent bilinguals are treated in the mainstream class or in other words, recognition of the children's 'disadvantage' could lead to a more positive recognition of their 'advantage' in school. This study is of prime importance to those concerned with the education of emergent bilingual children, including local education authority (LEA) officers, inspectors, advisers, teachers, community associations, parents, teacher trainers and policy makers. I hope the proposed work will make a contribution to our knowledge of the school experience of emergent bilingual children as well as possible curriculum and policy developments that might take place in future to serve better bilingual students.

description: Quantitative risk analysis approaches in today's technologically advanced age represent a suitable process for mathematical investigation, revealing the context of the origin and existence of risks and their possible effects on ensuring reliability. Today, manufacturing, and industrial companies, with the growing pressure of globalization, must deal with vast amounts of data that evaluate various processes in maintenance management, warehouse and inventory management, or quality evaluation processes. One way to ensure objective collection, analysis and evaluation of robust data is to use Bootstrapping principles and modules. Many companies use these tools and are now becoming available to a wider range of users. Bootstrap principles, with which it is possible to enter the calculation of robust estimates, e.g., standard errors and confidence intervals based on the bootstrap method is therefore suitable for estimating statistics such as mean, median, correlation coefficient or regression coefficients. In this article, we will take a closer look at what bootstrapping is, show you how to enter the calculation of bootstrap estimates, and what types of output are then displayed. Logistic forecasting of spare parts with sporadic consumption are difficult because of problems associated with obtaining data inscrutable demand, which is usually characterized by long periods of zero demand. The presented contribution presents the possibilities of using the method, which is the starting point for the stochastic forecast of future consumption. Based on this method, we can determine the minimum order stock level. The results of the simulations are also presented in graphical outputs.

Αυτό έχει ως αποτέλεσμα, όλο και περισσότεροι αρμόδιοι φορείς να προσπαθούν να εξυπηρετήσουν τις ανάγκες των πολιτών βελτιώνοντας την ποιότητα ζωής τους, αλλά παράλληλα έχοντας ως στόχο και την προστασία του περιβάλλοντος και την βιωσιμότητα. Κάποιες από αυτές είναι: η ασφάλεια, η εκπαίδευση, οι υποδομές , η διατήρηση των φυσικών πόρων, η κοινωνική, περιβαλλοντική και οικονομική βιωσιμότητα. Το φαινόμενο αυτό ναι μεν εμφανίζεται στις πόλεις, αλλά είναι έντονο και στα νησιά. Για παράδειγμα, αυτό συμβαίνει, διότι τα νησιά εξαρτώνται από τις ηπειρωτικές περιοχές για την προμήθεια καυσίμων και πρώτων υλών, το κόστος των μεταφορών και των διασυνδέσεων είναι ιδιαίτερα αυξημένο και στον τομέα της υγείας και της εκπαίδευσης υπάρχουν σημαντικές ελλείψεις τόσο στον εξοπλισμό, όσο και στο προσωπικό, τα οποία αποτελούν το φαινόμενο της νησιωτικότητας. Επίσης, τα νησιά αντιμετωπίζουν σημαντικές προκλήσεις εξαιτίας των γεωγραφικών και κλιματικών συνθηκών τους, κάποιες από τις οποίες είναι οι πλημμύρες, οι τυφώνες, η άνοδος της στάθμης της θάλασσας, οι καύσωνες και η ξηρασία. Τα παραπάνω χαρακτηριστικά κατέστησαν αναγκαία τη δημιουργία του όρου «Έξυπνα Βιώσιμα Νησιά», ο οποίος περιλαμβάνει τις καινοτόμες λύσεις και τα κριτήρια για την αντιμετώπιση τους. Στην παρούσα εργασία θα αναλυθεί ο όρος «Έξυπνα Βιώσιμα Νησιά», θα γίνει μελέτη της βιβλιογραφίας για τους τομείς που αποσκοπούν στην εφαρμογή του, αλλά και για τους παράγοντες που τους επηρεάζουν. Επιπλέον, θα παρουσιαστούν μερικά από τα υπάρχοντα παραδείγματα έξυπνων βιώσιμων νησιών και, τέλος, θα γίνει αναφορά στους δείκτες που αφορούν τους όρους αυτούς, στα κριτήρια επιλογής τους και θα αναπτυχθεί ένας πίνακας ελέγχου στο Excel για την αξιολόγηση των νησιών.

description: Studies of cooperation in microbes often focus on one fitness component, with little information about or attention to the ecological context, and this can lead to paradoxical results. The life cycle of the social amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum includes a multicellular stage in which not necessarily clonal amoebae aggregate upon starvation to form a possibly chimeric (genetically heterogeneous) fruiting body made of dead stalk and spores. The lab-measured reproductive skew in the spores of chimeras indicates strong social antagonism; this should result in low genotypic diversity, which is inconsistent with observations from nature. Two studies have suggested that this inconsistency stems from the one-dimensional assessment of fitness (spore production) and that the solution lies in tradeoffs between multiple traits, e.g.: spore size versus viability; and staying vegetative versus becoming dormant. We theoretically explore different tradeoff-implementing mechanisms and provide a unifying ecological framework in which the two tradeoffs above, as well as novel ones, arise collectively in response to characteristics of the environment. We find that spore production comes at the expense of vegetative cell production, time to development, and, depending on the experimental setup, spore size and viability. Furthermore, we find that all existing experimental results regarding chimeric mixes can be qualitatively recapitulated without needing to invoke social interactions, which allows for simple resolutions to previously paradoxical results. We conclude that the complexities of life histories, including social behavior and multicellularity, can only be understood in the appropriate multidimensional ecological context.

description: Two mathematical models are developed within the theoretical framework of large strain elasticity for the determination of upper and lower bounds on the total strain energy of a finitely deformed hyperelastic body in unilateral contact with a rigid surface or with an elastic substrate. The model problems take the form of two continuous optimization problems with inequality constraints, the solutions of which are used to provide an enclosure on the uniform external load acting on the body's surface away from the contact zone.

balanced transportation problem and unbalanced transportation problem

description: The transportation problems have much utilization in logistics and supply chains for minimizing costs. In real life circumstances, the limitations of transportation models may not be known absolutely because of unmanageable elements. In the several research papers the transportation costs, availability and demands of the commodity are shown as general fuzzy numbers and L-R flat fuzzy numbers for minimizing the transportation cost using different algorithms. But in this article, proposed the fuzzy costs, supply, and demands of the commodity at origins and destinations are taken as L-R type hexagonal fuzzy numbers for obtaining the optimal solution of unbalanced and balanced fuzzy transportation model by using ranking function to get minimum transportation cost. Here in, the numerical examples are also included. It is very simple to express and execute in real world transportation problem for decision maker.

description: Magnetars are neutron stars endowed with surface magnetic fields of the order of $10^{14}-10^{15}$~G, and with presumably much stronger fields in their interior. As a result of Landau quantization of electron motion, the neutron-drip transition in the crust of a magnetar is shifted to either higher or lower densities depending on the magnetic field strength. The impact of nuclear uncertainties is explored considering the recent series of Brussels-Montreal microscopic nuclear mass models. All these models are based on the Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov method with generalized Skyrme functionals. They differ in their predictions for the symmetry energy coefficient at saturation, and for the stiffness of the neutron-matter equation of state. For comparison, we have also considered the very accurate but more phenomenological model of Duflo and Zuker. Although the equilibrium composition of the crust of a magnetar and the onset of neutron emission are found to be model dependent, the quantum oscillations of the threshold density are essentially universal.

description: Sentiment Analysis is the process of examining the individual’s emotions. In tweet sentiment analysis, opinions in messages are categorized into positive, negative and neutral categories. A clustering-based classification approach is used to increase the accuracy level and enhance the performance in sentiment classification. The input dataset comprises of Hindi-English code-mixed text data. Initially, the input text data is pre-processed with different pre-processing techniques such as stop word removal, tokenization, Stemming, lemmatization. This effectively pre-processes the data and makes it appropriate for further processing. Afterwards, effective features such as Count Vectors, Modified term frequency-inverse document frequency (MTF-IDF), Feature hashing, Glove feature and Word2vector features are extracted for enhancing the classification performance. Afterwards, Sentiment word embedding-based agglomerative (SWEA) clustering is presented for effective sentiment feature clustering. Finally, a hybrid Bidirectional long shortterm memory-convolutional neural network (Hybrid BLSTM-CNN) is used to accurately classify tweet sentiments into positive, negative, and neutral. Here, modified horse herd optimization (MHHO) approach is used for weight optimization in Hybrid BLSTM-CNN. This optimization approach further enhances the performance of classification. The dataset used for the implementation is a Hindi-English mixed dataset. The experimental result significantly improves the different existing approaches in terms of accuracy, precision, recall, and F-measure.

description: This study concerns the effectiveness of several techniques and methods of signals processing and data interpretation for the diagnosis of aerospace structure defects. This is done by applying different known feature extraction methods, in addition to a new CBIR-based one; and some soft computing techniques including a recent HPC parallel implementation of the U-BRAIN learning algorithm on Non Destructive Testing data. The performance of the resulting detection systems are measured in terms of Accuracy, Sensitivity, Specificity, and Precision. Their effectiveness is evaluated by the Matthews correlation, the Area Under Curve (AUC), and the F-Measure. Several experiments are performed on a standard dataset of eddy current signal samples for aircraft structures. Our experimental results evidence that the key to a successful defect classifier is the feature extraction method - namely the novel CBIR-based one outperforms all the competitors - and they illustrate the greater effectiveness of the U-BRAIN algorithm and the MLP neural network among the soft computing methods in this kind of application.

Moments of insight: sudden change in ego development

Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: Moments of insight - dramatic shifts in perspective in how a person sees him or herself or the world - may provide us with glimpses of how accelerated change might happen in Loevinger's (1976) stages of ego development. Identifying moments of insight as potentially being structural phenomena, and the marrying of them into ego development theory is original to this thesis. -- Ego development proceeds in successive stages that Loevinger described as "self-paradigms", somewhat like Kuhn's (1962) view of paradigms. If this metaphor holds, then at least sometimes, people would be expected to experience sudden, revolutionary paradigm-style changes in their stage of ego development. However only one substantial theory exists as to how stage-changes happen, and that is a theory of gradual change (Kegan, 1979), which is likely the most common form of change. A theory of sudden, revolutionary, paradigm-style change, then, would seem to address a theoretical gap in the concept of how ego development proceeds. This thesis seeks to address that gap. -- A total of 80 participants were tested in regard to their ego development level and a range of secondary measures, and invited to tell stories of their moments of insight: 15 through the medium of interviews (3 of whom became "case studies" and a fourth, a "counter example"), while 65 wrote their stories in questionnaires. -- Analysis was conducted through theoretical argument, through qualitative analysis backed by evidence from story data, and by quantitative analysis of the common themes apparent in the moment of insight stories. Criteria were developed from the data for identifying prototypical examples of moment of insight stories, and criteria for judging ego level change in transcripts were Loevinger's (1976) empirically derived stage descriptions. -- It was shown that these prototypical experiences were those most readily linked with, and potentially indicative of the connection between moments of insight and ego level advancement. The counter example case study also powerfully revealed the conflict felt, even at a high ego level, when there is no "crystallisation of integration" afforded by a moment of insight experience. -- The evidence suggests that moments of insight may indeed be times of sudden ego development change.
