Induced long range dipole field enhanced antihydrogen formation in the $\bar{p}+ Ps(n=2)\to e^- + \bar{H}(n\le 2)$ reaction

description: We assume all interaction to be Coulombic and solve the modified Faddeev equation for energies between the $Ps(n=2)$ and $\bar{H}(n=3)$, which involve six and eight open channels. We find that 99% of the antihydrogen are formed in $\bar{H}(n=2)$. Just above the $Ps(n=2)$ threshold the S, P, and D partial waves contribute more than 4000 square Bohr radii near the maximum. Evidences indicate that the induced long range dipole potential from the degenerate $Ps(n=2)$ targets is responsible for such a large antihydrogen formation cross section.

description: The emergence and maintenance of punishment to protect the commons remains an open puzzle in social and biological sciences. Even in societies where pro-social punishing is common, some individuals seek to cheat the system if they see a chance to do so—and public goods are often maintained in spite of cheaters who do not contribute. We present a model accounting for all possible strategies in a public goods game with punishment. While most models of punishment restrict the set of possible behaviours, excluding seemingly paradoxical anti-social strategies from the start, we show that these strategies can play an important role in explaining large-scale cooperation as observed in human societies. We find that coordinated punishment can emerge from individual interactions, but the stability of the associated institutions is limited due to anti-social and opportunistic behaviour. In particular, coordinated anti-social punishment can undermine cooperation if individuals cannot condition their behaviour on the existence of institutions that punish. Only when we allow for observability and conditional behaviours, anti-social strategies do no longer threat cooperation. This is due to a stable coexistence of a minority supporting pro-social institutions and those who only cooperate if such institutions are in place. This minority of supporters is enough to guarantee substantial cooperation under a wide range of conditions. Our findings resonate with the empirical observation that public goods are resilient to opportunistic cheaters in large groups of unrelated individuals. They also highlight the importance of letting evolution, and not modellers, decide which strategies matter.

description: By combining analytical and numerical calculations, we investigate the minimal-energy shape of short DNA loops of approximately $100$ base pairs (bp). We show that in these loops the excess twist density oscillates as a response to an imposed bending stress, as recently found in DNA minicircles and observed in nucleosomal DNA. These twist oscillations, here referred to as twist waves, are due to the coupling between twist and bending deformations, which in turn originates from the asymmetry between DNA major and minor grooves. We introduce a simple analytical variational shape, that reproduces the exact loop energy up to the fourth significant digit, and is in very good agreement with shapes obtained from coarse-grained simulations. We, finally, analyze the loop dynamics at room temperature, and show that the twist waves are robust against thermal fluctuations. They perform a normal diffusive motion, whose origin is briefly discussed.

Revaluing raranga : weaving and women in Trans-Tasman Maori cultural discourses
Creators: name: Diamond, Josephine G.
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2003

description: Raranga is a generic label for diverse forms of Maori weaving, primarily, though not exclusively undertaken by Maori women. Like other forms of Maori cultural production, raranga has undergone dramatic changes since British colonisation of Aotearoa New Zealand in the first half of the 19th century, and consequent Maori trans-local, trans-regional and trans-national migrations. Such changes portray various, and at times contradictory, perspectives and values amongst Maori people responding in different ways to colonialist hegemony. In this thesis, raranga is discussed in relation to Aotearoa New Zealand and Australia, in order to highlight changing, contested and contradictory cultural values, particularly in migrant settings. I engage with the question: 'How is raranga indispensable to Trans-Tasman Maori cultural discourses?' by challenging dominant colonialist discourses on Maori culture that erase or diminish the importance of Maori women and their cultural production. For this challenge I have constructed a clearly defined 'discursive marae', as both a model and a metaphor for discussing Maori women's social experiences that feature raranga. It is based on physical and ceremonial features of the marae, an important Maori institution in Aotearoa New Zealand. It is multi-faceted and complex, employing various Maori cultural referents, anecdotes and poetic metaphors, family histories, unpublished and published written and oral records, visual representations, and analytical interpretations. With it, I posit interwoven connections amongst various linguistic, poetic, technical, historical, spiritual and conceptual aspects of raranga in trans-local, trans-regional and trans-national settings. The theoretical premises upon which this 'marae' is built, or more accurately 'woven', are Maori philosophy (including spirituality) and postcolonialist feminism, from my perspective as a Maori woman scholar. In revaluing raranga, I argue that raranga discourses extend beyond technical attributes and its social stigmatisation as 'only women's work', deserving extensive engagement both within and beyond this thesis 'marae'. I demonstrate its importance to Trans-Tasman Maori cultural contexts, to Maori identification and identity politics, to a number of prominent Maori cultural tenets, to representations of Maori people, particularly women, to a spiritual environment, and to Maori women's political struggles.

description: In this paper we present studies of the I-V characteristics of CdZnTe detectors with Pt contacts fabricated from high-resistivity single crystals grown by the high-pressure Brigman process. We have analyzed the experimental I-V curves using a model that approximates the CZT detector as a system consisting of a reversed Schottky contact in series with the bulk resistance. Least square fits to the experimental data yield 0.78-0.79 eV for the Pt-CZT Schottky barrier height, and <20 V for the voltage required to deplete a 2 mm thick CZT detector. We demonstrate that at high bias the thermionic current over the Schottky barrier, the height of which is reduced due to an interfacial layer between the contact and CZT material, controls the leakage current of the detectors. In many cases the dark current is not determined by the resistivity of the bulk material, but rather the properties of the contacts; namely by the interfacial layer between the contact and CZT material.

description: To determine whether grafting increases cadmium (Cd) accumulation in the post-grafting generation of hyperaccumulator plants, the effects of grafting on Cd accumulation characteristics of post-grafting generations of a potential Cd-hyperaccumulator Solanum photeinocarpum were evaluated in pot and field experiments. The following four grafting combinations were examined: ungrafted (UG), self-rooted grafting involving one S. photeinocarpum seedling (SG), self-rooted grafting involving two S. photeinocarpum seedling developmental stages (DG), and grafting on wild potato rootstock (PG). Grafting did not induce genetic changes in S. photeinocarpum, and increased the shoot biomass and the amount of Cd extracted by the shoots of the first, second, and third generations of S. photeinocarpum (PG > DG > SG > UG). Additionally, enhanced superoxide dismutase, peroxidase, and catalase activities and increased soluble protein contents of the first post-grafting generation were observed for the DG and PG, whereas only enhanced superoxide dismutase and peroxidase activities were observed for the SG. Grafting increased the DNA methylation levels by inducing hypermethylation in the first post-grafting generation (PG > DG > SG > UG). Therefore, grafting can enhance the Cd accumulation (phytoremediation) ability of post-grafting generations of S. photeinocarpum by enhancing DNA methylation levels, especially when wild potato rootstock is used.
TRI$μ$P - A New Facility to Investigate Fundamental Interactions with Optically Trapped Radioactive Atoms

Subjects: subject: Nuclear Experiment (nucl-ex)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: At the Kernfysisch Versneller Instituut (KVI) in Groningen, NL, a new facility (TRI$μ$P) is under development. It aims for producing, slowing down and trapping of radioactive isotopes in order to perform accurate measurements on fundamental symmetries and interactions. A spectrum of radioactive nuclids will be produced in direct, inverse kinematics of fragmentation reactions using heavy ion beams from the superconducting AGOR cyclotron. The research programme pursued by the KVI group includes precision studies of nuclear $β$-decays through $β$--neutrino (recoil nucleus) momentum correlations in weak decays and searches for permanent electric dipole moments in heavy atomic systems. This offers a large potential for discovering new physics or to limit parameters in models beyond standard theory significantly. The scientific approach chosen in TRI$μ$P can be regarded as complementary to such high energy physics. The facility in Groningen will be open for use by the worldwide community of scientists.

description: As a result of intense solar activity during the first ten days of September, a ground level enhancement occurred on September 10, 2017. Here we computed the effective dose rates in the polar region at several altitudes during the event using the derived rigidity spectra of the energetic solar protons. The contribution of different populations of energetic particles viz. galactic cosmic rays and solar protons, to the exposure is explicitly considered and compared. We also assessed the exposure of a crew members/passengers to radiation at different locations and at several cruise flight altitudes and calculated the received doses for two typical intercontinental flights. The estimated received dose during a high-latitude, 40 kft, $\sim$ 10 h flight is $\sim$ 100 $μ$Sv.

The reduction of the closest disentangled states

description: We study the closest disentangled state to a given entangled state in any system (multi-party with any dimension). We obtain the set of equations the closest disentangled state must satisfy, and show that its reduction is strongly related to the extremal condition of the local filtering on each party. Although the equations we obtain are not still tractable, we find some sufficient conditions for which the closest disentangled state has the same reduction as the given entangled state. Further, we suggest a prescription to obtain a tight upper bound of the relative entropy of entanglement in two-qubit systems.

description: We present a coupled cluster and linear response theory to compute properties of many-electron systems at non-zero temperatures. For this purpose, we make use of the thermofield dynamics, which allows for a compact wavefunction representation of the thermal density matrix, and extend our recently developed framework [J. Chem. Phys. 150, 154109 (2019)] to parameterize the so-called thermal state using an exponential ansatz with cluster operators that create thermal quasiparticle excitations on a mean-field reference. As benchmark examples, we apply this method to both model (one-dimensional Hubbard and Pairing) as well as ab-initio (atomic Beryllium and molecular Hydrogen) systems, while comparing with exact results.

title: Robust Linear Prediction Analysis for Low Bit-Rate Speech Coding

Publisher: name: Griffith University
Year: 2002
Subjects: subject: linear prediction
subject: speech coding

description: Speech coding is a very important area of research in digital signal processing. It is a fundamental element of digital communications and has progressed at a fast pace in parallel to the increase of demands in telecommunication services and capabilities. Most of the speech coders reported in the literature are based on linear prediction (LP) analysis. Code Excited Linear Predictive (CELP) coder is a typical and popular example of this class of coders. This coder performs LP analysis of speech for extracting LP coefficients and employs an analysis-by-synthesis procedure to search a stochastic codebook to compute the excitation signal. The method used for performing LP analysis plays an important role in the design of a CELP coder. The autocorrelation method is conventionally used for LP analysis. Though this works reasonably well for noise-free (clean) speech, its performance goes down when signal is corrupted by noise. Spectral analysis of speech signals in noisy environments is an aspect of speech coding that deserves more attention. This dissertation studies the application of recently proposed robust LP analysis methods for estimating the power spectrum envelope of speech signals. These methods are the moving average, moving maximum and average threshold methods. The proposed methods will be compared to the more commonly used methods of LP analysis, such as the conventional autocorrelation method and the Spectral Envelope Estimation Vocoder (SEEVOC) method. The Linear Predictive Coding (LPC) spectrum calculated from these proposed methods are shown to be more robust. These methods work as well as the conventional methods when the speech signal is clean or has high signal-to-noise ratio. Also, these robust methods give less quantisation distortion than the conventional methods. The application of these robust methods for speech compression using the CELP coder provides better speech quality when compared to the conventional LP analysis methods.
When H II Regions are Complicated: Considering Perturbations from Winds, Radiation Pressure, and Other Effects

description: We explore to what extent simple algebraic models can be used to describe H II regions when winds, radiation pressure, gravity and photon breakout are included. We a) develop algebraic models to describe the expansion of photoionised H II regions under the influence of gravity and accretion in power-law density fields with $ρ\propto r^{-w}$, b) determine when terms describing winds, radiation pressure, gravity and photon breakout become significant enough to affect the dynamics of the H II region where $w=2$, and c) solve these expressions for a set of physically-motivated conditions. We find that photoionisation feedback from massive stars is the principal mode of feedback on molecular cloud scales, driving accelerating outflows from molecular clouds in cases where the peaked density structure around young massive stars is considered at radii between $\sim$0.1 and 10-100 pc. Under a large range of conditions the effect of winds and radiation on the dynamics of H II regions is around 10% of the contribution from photoionisation. The effect of winds and radiation pressure are most important at high densities, either close to the star or in very dense clouds such as those in the Central Molecular Zone of the Milky Way. Out to $\sim$0.1 pc they are the principal drivers of the H II region. Lower metallicities make the relative effect of photoionisation even stronger as the ionised gas temperature is higher.

description: Classical (quasinormal) and quantum (Hawking) radiations are investigated for test fields in the background of a four dimensional, spherically symmetric and asymptotically flat black hole in the Einstein-dilaton-Gauss-Bonnet (EdGB) theory. The geometry of the EdGB black hole deviates from the Schwarzschild geometry only slightly. Therefore, here we observe that the quasinormal spectrum also deviates from its Schwarzschild limit at most moderately, allowing for a $9\%$ decrease in the damping rate and up to a $6\%$ decrease in the real oscillation frequency. However, the intensity of Hawking radiation of an electromagnetic field turned out to be much more sensitive characteristic than its quasinormal spectrum, allowing for a $54\%$ increase of the energy emission rate. The analytical formula for the eikonal regime of quasinormal modes is derived for test fields and it is shown that the correspondence between the eikonal quasinormal modes and null geodesics is indeed fulfilled for test fields, but is not expected for the gravitational one.

description: A series of copper, nickel and zinc complexes, [CuClL] (1), [CuBrL] (2), [NiL2] (3), [ZnL2] (4) and [Zn2I2L2] (5), where L is the deprotonated form of 4-chloro-2-((pyridin-2-ylmethylene)amino)phenol, have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR and UV-Vis spectra. The structures of the complexes were further confirmed by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The Cu ions in 1 and 2 are in square planar coordination. The Ni and Zn ions in 3 and 4 are in octahedral coordination. The coordination of the Zn ions in centrosymmetric complex 5 is between square pyramidal and trigonal bipyramidal. The copper complexes have excellent urease inhibitory activity.

description: Roads and road networks impact negatively on wildlife in a number of ways. Of major importance are vehicle-caused mortality, habitat fragmentation and barriers to animal movement. Together, the last two can lead to functional isolation of faunal populations, which, in turn, can potentially jeopardise the long-term persistence of wildlife populations. Wildlife overpasses are used to mitigate threats associated with the roads they span. Important conservation objectives are to allow safe passage and to maintain levels of dispersal between fragmented habitat areas, thereby allowing gene-flow and sustaining population viability of target species. It might be assumed that birds, having the ability to fly, can accommodate the effects of fragmentation well, and will benefit little from wildlife overpasses. A major objective of my study therefore was to evaluate the conservation value of a wildlife overpass in allowing passage of birds between forest areas bisected by a major road. • Methodology: The study was centred on the wildlife overpass which spans Compton Road, a 60m-wide, major four-lane arterial road in suburban Brisbane. The 15m-wide vegetated overpass connects two subtropical Eucalyptus forest reserves, which are bisected by the major road. • Surveys were undertaken to compare bird abundance and species composition on the overpass and in nearby forest sites.

description: Isotopic series of 58 neutron-deficient secondary projectiles (205,206At, 205-209Rn, 208-212,217,218Fr, 211-223Ra, 215-226Ac, 221-229Th, 226-231Pa, 231-234U) were produced by projectile fragmentation using a 1 A GeV 238U beam. Cross sections of fission induced by nuclear and electromagnetic interactions in a secondary lead target were measured. They were found to vary smoothly as a function of proton and neutron number of the fissioning system, also for nuclei with large ground-state shell effects near the 126-neutron shell. No stabilization against fission was observed for these nuclei at low excitation energies. Consequences for the expectations on the production cross sections of super-heavy nuclei are discussed.

description: Analytical solutions for a tight-binding model are presented for a position-based qubit and N interacting qubits realized by quasi-one-dimensional network of coupled quantum dots expressed by connected or disconnected graphs of any topology in 2 and 3 dimensions where one electron is presented at each separated graphs. Electron(s) quantum dynamic state is described under various electromagnetic circumstances with an omission spin degree-of-freedom. The action of Hadamard and phase rotating gate is given by analytical formulas derived and formulated for any case of physical field evolution preserving the occupancy of two-energy level system. The procedure for heating up and cooling down of the quantum state placed in position based qubit is described. The interaction of position-based qubit with electromagnetic cavity is described. In particular non-local communication between position based qubits is given. It opens the perspective of implementation of quantum internet among electrostatic CMOS quantum computers (quantum chips). The interface between superconducting Josephson junction and semiconductor position-based qubit implemented in coupled semiconductor q-dots is described such that it can be the base for electrostatic interface between superconducting and semiconductor quantum computer. Modification of Andreev Bound State in Josephson junction by the presence of semiconductor qubit in its proximity and electrostatic interaction with superconducting qubit is spotted by the minimalistic tight-binding model. The obtained results allow in creating interface between semiconductor quantum computer and superconducting quantum computer. They open the perspective of construction of QISKIT like software that will describe both types of quantum computers as well as their interface.

description: Based upon our previous works (Eur.Phys.J.D 6, 319(1999); Chin.Phys.Lett. 18, 236(2001)), we develop a classical approach to calculate the high-order harmonic generation of the laser driven atoms and molecules. The Coulomb singularities in the system have been removed by a regularization procedure. Action-angle variables have been used to generate the initial microcanonical distribution which satisfies the inversion symmetry of the system. The numerical simulation show, within a proper laser intensity, a harmonic plateau with only odd harmonics appears. At higher intensities, the spectra become noisier because of the existence of chaos. With further increase in laser intensity, ionization takes place, and the high-order harmonics disappear. Thus chaos introduces noise in the spectra, and ionization suppresses the harmonic generation, with the onset of the ionization follows the onset of chaos.

description: This paper explores the role of cultural heritage in a post-disaster setting and its importance in maintaining the social and cultural values in the redevelopment of areas damaged by an earthquake. It uses a case study method with the Kathmandu Valley in Nepal as the case study site. Intangible heritage in the valley such as daily rituals, festivals, and processions helped people to overcome the traumatic experiences of the disaster and helped communities reconnect with each other. Findings from the research show that cultural heritage plays an important role in helping people readjust their lives after major disasters such as the 2015 Nepal earthquake. It argues for recognition of cultural heritage in the post-disaster recovery and redevelopment process.

description: Based on data from 36 listed Vietnamese food and beverage companies in the period of 2009-2018, the authors aim at studying determinants of the efficiency of Vietnamese food and beverage industry. By using regression results and Hausman testing result, the authors found that debt-to-total asset ratio and tangible fixed asset ratio are negatively correlated to return on asset (ROA), while, inventory turnover has a positive impact. Accordingly, the growth rate and receivable turnover's have no impacts on ROA. From the empirical research findings, recommendations were proposed to improve the efficiency of firms in the food and beverage industry in transitional countries such as Vietnam.
