description: We summarize our findings on the quantum moduli constraints and superpotentials of an infinite family of moose extensions of $n_f = n_c$ SUSY QCD. For $n_c=2$, we perform concrete calculations using traditional integrating out techniques as well as Intriligator's ``integrating in'' technique. Checking the constraints and superpotentials in the limits of setting $Λ$'s to zero or integrating out mass terms, we find that the quantum moduli constraints are local in theory space and are equivalent to a consistent structure of ``splitting relations'' amongst the different theories. Extending the results to arbitrary $n_c$, we show that the splitting relations, along with a set of rules for flowing from a high energy theory to a low energy theory, incorporate much of the physics of the moose chain. The relations can be used both to simplify perturbative calculations of symmetry breaking and to incorporate nonperturbative effects.

description: We demonstrate the formation of metastable Néel-type skyrmion arrays in Pt/Co/Ni/Ir multi-layers at zero-field following \textit{ex situ} application of an in-plane magnetic field using Lorentz transmission electron microscopy. The resultant skyrmion texture is found to depend on both the strength and misorientation of the applied field as well as the interfacial Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction. To demonstrate the importance of the applied field angle, we leverage bend contours in the specimens which coincide with transition regions between skyrmion and labyrinth patterns. Subsequent application of a perpendicular magnetic field near these regions reveals the unusual situation where skyrmions with opposite magnetic polarities are stabilized in close proximity.

description: We present a description of a new 1--5 $μ$m filter set similar to the long-used JHKLM filter set derived from that of Johnson. The new Mauna Kea Observatories Near-Infrared (MKO-NIR) filter set is designed to reduce background noise, improve photometric transformations from observatory to observatory, provide greater accuracy in extrapolating to zero air mass, and reduce the color dependence in the extinction coefficient in photometric reductions. We have also taken into account the requirements of adaptive optics in setting the flatness specification of the filters. A complete technical description is presented to facilitate the production of similar filters in the future.

description: One of the main indicators of scientific development of a given country is the number of papers published in high impact scholarly journals. Many countries introduced performance-based research funding systems (PRFSs) to create a more competitive environment where prolific researchers get rewarded with subsidies to increase both the quantity and quality of papers. Yet, subsidies do not always function as a leverage to improve the citation impact of scholarly papers. This paper investigates the effect of the publication support system of Turkey (TR) on the citation impact of papers authored by Turkish researchers. Based on a stratified probabilistic sample of 4,521 TR-addressed papers, it compares the number of citations to determine if supported papers were cited more often than those of not supported ones, and if they were published in journals with relatively higher citation impact in terms of journal impact factors, article influence scores and quartiles. Both supported and not supported papers received comparable number of citations per paper, and were published in journals with similar citation impact values. Findings suggest that subsidies do not seem to be an effective incentive to improve the quality of scholarly papers. Such support programs should therefore be reconsidered.

description: In an era when antiobiotics and sanitizers are readily available, but running out of fossil fuel is not an immediate danger yet, the lengthening of lifetime and the increasement of life quality became mostly dependent on our ability to replace body parts lost by illness or accident, which places
biomimetic and antifouling materials in the spotlight of the first half of the 21st century. In this thesis, step-growth polymerization (SGP) and atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) were utilized in the design of synthetic polymers to create biomimetic and antifouling materials, with control over structure and functionality. Biomimetic conjugates were prepared using SGP by a
“click” reaction between a genetically engineered green fluorescent protein (GFP) bearing two azides and a dialkyne poly(ethylene glycol) (PEO). SGP and thermosensitive, coating forming hyaluronic acid (HA) - poly(di(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate) (P((MEO)2MA))
conjugates were prepared by synthesizing the thermoresponsive polymer by ATRP using an aminated initiator, then coupling it to the carboxylic acid froups of the activated HA. The HAP((MEO)2MA) conjugates were tested for their antifouling property. Then, these conjugates were
synthesized with different grafting densities (GD) and P((MEO)2MA) side chain length values, in order to find the ideal parameters for an antifouling coating material and to elucidate the mechanism of coating formation. Over the course of the characterization of both types of materials,
intriguing physical behavior was encountered. The GFP-PEO behaves like a wooden snake and the HA- P((MEO)2MA) conjugates show an intriguing mechanism of film formation. Both behaviors were explored using various physical characterization techniques, among which atomic
force microscopy (AFM) was crucial. As an important technique, AFM as a technique is isolated for study. As part of my work, the dependence of average tip-sample forces on imaging conditions such as set-point ratio and operating frequency were explored. First, the derivation of an analytical
expression for the average tip-sample force will be presented. Its predictions will be then shown to be in excellent agreement with the results of numerical simulations using a single degree of freedom, driven damped harmonic oscillator model of tapping mode AFM. In multi-frequency tapping-mode AFM (TM-AFM) experiments, quantifying the tip-sample force may be essential in
understanding the nature of contrast in imaging soft materials such as block copolymers or novel complex macromolecular architectures, such as the conjugates described in this thesis.

description: Nanopores are both a tool to study single-molecule biophysics and nanoscale ion transport, but also a promising material for desalination or osmotic power generation. Understanding the physics underlying ion transport through nano-sized pores allows better design of porous membrane materials. Material surfaces can present hydrophobicity, a property which can make them prone to formation of surface nanobubbles. Nanobubbles can influence the electrical transport properties of such devices. We demonstrate an approach which uses hydraulic pressure to probe the electrical transport properties of solid state nanopores. We show how pressure can be used to wet pores, and how it allows control over bubbles in the nanometer scale range normally unachievable using only an electrical driving force. Molybdenum disulfide is then used as a typical example of a 2D material on which we demonstrate wetting and bubble induced nonlinear and linear conductance in the regimes typically used with these experiments. We show that by using pressure one can identify and evade wetting artifacts.

Subjects: satellite matchup in situ

description: The validation of sea surface salinity (SSS) retrievals from satellite measurements through
 comparisons with in situ data is important for evaluating the retrieval, improving the underlying
 geophysical model functions, and producing reliable estimates of measurement uncertainty.
 The evaluation of in situ and satellite data is complicated by the different spatial and temporal
 characteristics of the two measurements: satellite observations from Aquarius and SMAP are
 continuous and global but with spatial resolution on the order of 50 – 100 km, while in situ data
 (e.g. from Argo floats) are point measurements in both space and time. Although satellite data
 are global, it may take several days to cover the entire globe. Hence, the probability of an exact
 match in time and space between an in situ measurement and a satellite overpass is small.
 Here, we define a meaningful definition of a matchup between satellite and in situ
 measurements, primarily through the example of Aquarius/SAC‐D, SMAP, and Argo float data.
 The analysis suggests that useful matchups between satellite and in situ salinity are obtained
 by averaging all satellite observations within a space‐time window with a radius of 50 km and
 ± 3.5 days centered on the in situ report. This document is partitioned into two parts: In
 Section I, the background of satellite salinity remote sensing is used to develop a rationale for
 the chosen match‐up criteria, while Section II explores examples using Aquarius/SAC‐D and
 SMAP in sufficient detail to generate a match‐up algorithm.

description: Initiated by the work of Uhlenbeck in late 1970s, we study questions about the existence, multiplicity and asymptotic behavior for minimal immersions of closed surface in some hyperbolic three-manifold, with prescribed conformal structure on the surface and second fundamental form of the immersion. We prove several results in these directions. In particular, we determine when exactly the solution is unique and when multiple solutions appear. Moreover, we analyze in detail the asymptotic behavior of the solutions when (and how) blowing up might occur. Interestingly the blow-up analysis exhibit different behaviors when the surface is of genus two or greater. Furthermore, we extend this program to consider similar problems where the total extrinsic curvature is prescribed and we prove an existence result.

description: The expressions of the coupling coefficients (3j-symbols) for the most degenerate (symmetric) representations of the orthogonal groups SO(n) in a canonical basis (with SO(n) restricted to SO(n-1)) and different semicanonical or tree bases [with SO(n) restricted to SO(n'})\times SO(n''), n'+n''=n] are considered, respectively, in context of the integrals involving triplets of the Gegenbauer and the Jacobi polynomials. Since the directly derived triple-hypergeometric series do not reveal the apparent triangle conditions of the 3j-symbols, they are rearranged, using their relation with the semistretched isofactors of the second kind for the complementary chain Sp(4)\supset SU(2)\times SU(2) and analogy with the stretched 9j coefficients of SU(2), into formulae with more rich limits for summation intervals and obvious triangle conditions. The isofactors of class-one representations of the orthogonal groups or class-two representations of the unitary groups (and, of course, the related integrals involving triplets of the Gegenbauer and the Jacobi polynomials) turn into the double sums in the cases of the canonical SO(n)\supset SO(n-1) or U(n)\supset U(n-1) and semicanonical SO(n)\supset SO(n-2)\times SO(2) chains, as well as into the_4F_3(1) series under more specific conditions. Some ambiguities of the phase choice of the complementary group approach are adjusted, as well as the problems with alternating sign parameter of SO(2) representations in the SO(3)\supset SO(2) and SO(n)\supset SO(n-2)\times SO(2) chains.

description: In this article we revisit the concept of abstraction as it is used in visualization and put it on a solid formal footing. While the term \emph{abstraction} is utilized in many scientific disciplines, arts, as well as everyday life, visualization inherits the notion of data abstraction or class abstraction from computer science, topological abstraction from mathematics, and visual abstraction from arts. All these notions have a lot in common, yet there is a major discrepancy in the terminology and basic understanding about visual abstraction in the context of visualization. We thus root the notion of abstraction in the philosophy of science, clarify the basic terminology, and provide crisp definitions of visual abstraction as a process. Furthermore, we clarify how it relates to similar terms often used interchangeably in the field of visualization. Visual abstraction is characterized by a conceptual space where this process exists, by the purpose it should serve, and by the perceptual and cognitive qualities of the beholder. These characteristics can be used to control the process of visual abstraction to produce effective and informative visual representations.

description: We investigate the magnetic field evolution of the superconducting state in a strongly disordered NbN thin film which exhibits a magnetic field tuned superconductor to insulator-like transition, employing low temperature scanning tunneling spectroscopy (STS). Transport measurements of the sample reveals a characteristic magnetic field, which separates the low field state where resistance decreases with decreasing temperature, i.e. dR/dT > 0 and a high-field state where dR/dT < 0. However, STS imaging of the superconducting state reveals a smooth evolution across this field and the presence of a robust pseudogap on both sides of this characteristic field. Our results suggest that the superconductor-insulator transition might be a percolative transition driven by the shrinking of superconducting fraction with magnetic field.

description: Vision generates a stable representation of space by combining retinal input with internal predictions about the visual consequences of eye movements. We report a type of nonrigid motion that disrupts the connection between eye movements and perception, causing visual instability. This motion is accurately perceived during fixation, but it cannot be pursued. Catch-up saccades are accurately directed to the moving target but the motion stimulus appears to jump in space with each saccade. Our results reveal four major findings about perception and the visuomotor system: (i) Pursuit fails for certain types of motion; (ii) pursuit and catch-up saccades are independently controlled; (iii) prediction of saccade consequences is independent from saccade control; and (iv) the visual stability of moving objects relies on similar motion mechanisms as pursuit.

description: This article reports nine Solar Energetic Particle events detected by the instrument NINA between October 1998 and April 1999. NINA is a silicon-based particle detector mounted on-board the Russian satellite Resurs-01-N4, which has flown at an altitude of about 800 km in polar inclination since July 1998. For every solar event the power-law He4 spectrum across the energy interval 10--50 MeV/n was reconstructed, and spectral indexes, gamma, from 1.8 to 6.8 extracted. Data of He3 and He4 were used to determine the He3/He4 ratio, that for some SEP events indicated an enrichment in He3. For the 1998 November 7 event the ratio reached a maximum value of 0.33+- 0.06, with spectral indexes of gamma = 2.5 +- 0.6 and gamma = 3.7 +- 0.3 for He3 and He4, respectively. The He3/He4 ratio averaged over the remaining events was 0.011 +- 0.004. For all events the deuterium-to-proton ratio was determined. The average value over all events was (3.9+-1.4) 10^{-5} across the energy interval 9--12 MeV/n. For one event (1998 November 24) this ratio yielded approximately 10 times higher than normal coronal values. Upper limits on the H3/H1 counting ratio for all events were determined. For the 1998 November 14 SEP event the high flux of heavy particles detected made it possible to reconstruct the carbon and oxygen flux.

description: Farm to School programs (FTS) have proliferated since the first FTS pilot projects in 1996-1997 (National FTS Network 2011). Research surrounding FTS programs has focused on quantifying the potential benefits for local economies and students’ nutrition, while little research has addressed factors that influence a school’s decision to participate in a FTS program. FTS is often narrowly defined as the use of local foods by the school. However, the extent of local food inclusion alters the local economic stimulus generated by the program and may also alter school meal participation by students and support by parents. In this study, we follow the USDA’s Farm to School Census approach and define FTS as any promotion of local foods or school gardens including fieldtrips to farms, maintenance of a school garden, taste tests, and other curriculum or promotional components. We also recognize that a school’s decision to participate depends heavily on the supply of and types of farms in the area, so we take supply-side factors into account. In addition to simple binary FTS participation, we assess what factors are associated with the intensity of participation, the types of FTS activities implemented, and the challenges faced by participating and non-participating schools. The results provide a nuanced understanding of FTS participation. Our models are estimated using data from the USDA’s Farm to School Census (2014), the USDA’s Census of Agriculture (2012) and the USDA’s database of farmers’ markets (2015). We find factors that influence the FTS decision include the supply of local food, school size, percent of students on free or reduced cost meals, federal reimbursements for the cafeteria programs, total school system expenditures, food cost, cafeteria sales, county population, race composition and urbanicity. The results suggest that both school characteristics and local farm production factors may influence FTS participation. The results will be useful in informing policy as well as providing insight into the nature of FTS programs for future studies of FTS benefits.

The path connects two gauge equivalent configurations which differ by a gauge transformation in the non-trivial class of pi_4(SU(2)). The computation is done with the SU(2) gauge field in the fundamental, the 3/2, and the 5/2 representation. The number of eigenvalue pairs that change places along this path is established for these three representations and an even-odd pattern predicted by Witten is verified.

description: The extended minimum of Solar Cycle 23, the extremely quiet solar-wind conditions prevailing, and the mini-maximum of Solar Cycle 24 drew global attention and many authors have since attempted to predict the amplitude of the upcoming Solar Cycle 25, which is predicted to be the third successive weak cycle; it is a unique opportunity to probe the Sun during such quiet periods. Earlier work has established a steady decline, over two decades, in solar photospheric fields at latitudes above $45^{\circ}$ and a similar decline in solar-wind micro-turbulence levels as measured by interplanetary scintillation (IPS) observations. However, the relation between the photospheric magnetic fields and those in the low corona/solar-wind are not straightforward. Therefore, in the present article, we have used potential-field source-surface (PFSS) extrapolations to deduce global magnetic-fields using synoptic magnetograms observed with National Solar Observatory (NSO), Kitt Peak, USA (NSO/KP) and Solar Optical Long-term Investigation of the Sun (NSO/SOLIS) instruments during 1975-2018. Furthermore, we have measured the normalized scintillation index [m] using the IPS observations carried out at the Institute of Space Earth Environment Research (ISEE), Japan during 1983-2017. From these observations, we have found that, since the mid-1990s, the magnetic-field over different latitudes at 2.5 $\rm R_{\odot}$ and 10 $\rm R_{\odot}$(extrapolated using PFSS method) has decreased by $\approx 11.3-22.2 \%$. In phase with the declining magnetic-fields, the quantity m also declined by $\approx 23.6 \%$. These observations emphasize the inter-relationship between the global magnetic-field and various turbulence parameters in the solar corona and solar wind.

description: Librarianship is one of the emerging, growing and full-fledged profession. Librarianship is also a choice of career for someone who loves to serve people's interest. Librarian is the information collector, preserver and disseminator. It is also one of the best choices of career to be undertaken among the different type of career choice. In Nagaland, people are not aware of Library and Information science as a choice of career. So, the study is made on the four selected higher secondary school of St. Paul higher secondary school, Hebron higher secondary school, North town higher secondary school and St. Joseph higher secondary school of Dimapur focused on class 11 and class 12 to make them aware about the availability of Library and Information science as a choice of career. The study found that the students were not aware of the subject Library and Information science and responded they will like to choose librarianship as a career choice. In Nagaland, only ICFAI university offers Library and Information science subject in B.A degree. The study found most of the students are not aware of its availability. Therefore, ICFAI university needs to put an effort to make the people aware about the availability of Library and Information Science as a career choice

description: A novel inverse relaxation technique for supercapacitor characterization is developed, modeled numerically, and experimentally tested on a number of commercial supercapacitors. It consists in shorting a supercapacitor for a short time $τ$, then switching to the open circuit regime and measuring an initial rebound and long-time relaxation. The results obtained are: the ratio of "easy" and "hard" to access capacitance and the dependence $C(τ)$, that determines what the capacitance the system responds at time-scale $τ$; it can be viewed as an alternative to used by some manufacturers approach to characterize a supercapacitor by fixed capacitance and time-scale dependent internal resistance. Among the advantages of proposed technique is that it does not require a source of fixed current, what simplifies the setup and allows a high discharge current regime. The approach can be used as a replacement of low-frequency impedance measurements and the ones of IEC 62391 type, it can be effectively applied to characterization of supercapacitors and other relaxation type systems with porous internal structure. The technique can be completely automated by a microcontroller to measure, analyze, and output the results.

description: A new MKO-NIR infrared filter set is described, including techniques and considerations given to designing a new set of bandpasses that are useful at both mid- and high-altitude sites. These filters offer improved photometric linearity and in many cases reduced background, as well as preserve good throughput within the JHKLM atmospheric windows. MKO-NIR filters have already been deployed with a number of instruments around the world as part of a filter consortium purchase to reduce the unit cost of filters. Through this effort we hope to establish, for the first time, a single standard set of infrared fitlers at as many observatories as possible.

description: We propose a quantum-classical hybrid algorithm to simulate the non-equilibrium steady state of an open quantum many-body system, named the dissipative-system Variational Quantum Eigensolver (dVQE). To employ the variational optimization technique for a unitary quantum circuit, we map a mixed state into a pure state with a doubled number of qubits and design the unitary quantum circuit to fulfill the requirements for a density matrix. This allows us to define a cost function that consists of the time evolution generator of the quantum master equation. Evaluation of physical observables is, in turn, carried out by a quantum circuit with the original number of qubits. We demonstrate our dVQE scheme by both numerical simulation on a classical computer and actual quantum simulation that makes use of the device provided in Rigetti Quantum Cloud Service.

Measurement of Lepton Momentum Moments in the Decay bar{B} \to X \ell \barν and Determination of Heavy Quark Expansion Parameters and |V_cb|

description: We measure the primary lepton momentum spectrum in B-bar to X l nu decays, for p_l > 1.5 GeV/c in the B rest frame. From this, we calculate various moments of the spectrum. In particular, we find R_0 = [int(E_l>1.7) (dGam/dE_sl)*dE_l] / [int(E_l>1.5) (dGam/dE_sl)*dE_l] = 0.6187 +/- 0.0014_stat +/- 0.0016_sys and R_1 = [int(E_l>1.5) E_l(dGam/dE_sl)*dE_l] / [int(E_l>1.5) (dGam/dE_sl)*dE_l] = (1.7810 +/- 0.0007_stat +/- 0.0009_sys) GeV. We use these moments to determine non-perturbative parameters governing the semileptonic width. In particular, we extract the Heavy Quark Expansion parameters Lambda-bar = (0.39 +/- 0.03_stat +/- 0.06_sys +/- 0.12_th) GeV and lambda_1 = (-0.25 +/- 0.02_stat +/- 0.05_sys +/- 0.14_th) GeV^2. The theoretical constraints used are evaluated through order 1/M_B^3 in the non-perturbative expansion and beta_0*alpha__s^2 in the perturbative expansion. We use these parameters to extract |V_cb| from the world average of the semileptonic width and find |V_cb| = (40.8 +/- 0.5_Gam-sl +/- 0.4_(lambda_1,Lambda-bar)-exp +/- 0.9_th) x 10^-3. In addition, we extract the short range b-quark mass m_b^1S = (4.82 +/- 0.07_exp +/- 0.11_th) GeV/c^2. Finally, we discuss the implications of our measurements for the theoretical understanding of inclusive semileptonic processes.

description: We find the exact quantum gravity partition function on the static patch of 3d de Sitter spacetime. We have worked in the Chern Simons Formulation of 3d Gravity. To obtain a non-perturbative result, we supersymmetrized the Chern Simons action and used the technique of supersymmetric localization. We have obtained an exact non-perturbative result for the spin-2 gravity case. We comment on the divergences present in the theory. We also comment on higher spin gravity theories and analyse the nature of divergences present in such theories.

On Jupiter's inertial mode oscillations

description: Properties of inertial modes of Jupiter are investigated for an n=1 polytropic description of the planet interior. We use the anelastic approximation to overcome the usual handicap of a severe spherical harmonics truncation. A powerful iterative solver then allows us to compute the frequencies of the most promising low-order modes using as many spherical harmonics as necessary. The induced O(1%) errors of our model are now within observational limits. A plausible seismological model of Jupiter might thus be at hand provided the use of a more realistic description of the planet interior.

description: Many people view animal welfare standards in the agricultural industry as critical and some consumers would prefer to buy high welfare meat. In order to successfully introduce high welfare meat products onto the market, some important marketing decisions must be made. Due to limited shelf space, niche products like high welfare meat cannot be placed both at the self-service counter and at the service counter. In order to analyze where to place it best an online survey of 642 German consumers was conducted. By means of factor and cluster analyses, consumers’ animal welfare attitudes and their preference for a point of purchase were combined. The different target groups were combined using cross tabulation analysis. The results show that consumers in the target group show a more positive attitude to the service counter.
Comment on formulating and generalizing Dirac's, Proca's, and Maxwell's equations with biquaternions or Clifford numbers

description: Many difficulties of interpretation met by contemporary researchers attempting to recast or generalize Dirac's, Proca's, or Maxwell's theories using biquaternions or Clifford numbers have been encountered long ago by a number of physicists including Lanczos, Proca, and Einstein. In the modern approach initiated by Gursey, these difficulties are solved by recognizing that most generalizations lead to theories describing superpositions of particles of different intrinsic spin and isospin, so that the correct interpretation emerges from the requirement of full Poincare covariance, including space and time reversal, as well as of reversion and gauge invariance. For instance, the doubling of the number of solutions implied by the simplest generalization of Dirac's equation (i.e., Lanczos's equation) can be interpreted as isospin. In this approach, biquaternions and Clifford numbers become powerful opportunities to formulate the Standard Model of elementary particles, as well as many of its possible generalizations, in very elegant and compact ways.

description: We assess the feasibility of probing dark energy with strong gravitational lensing systems. The capability of the method, which depends on the accuracy with which the lensing systems are modeled, is quantitatively investigated using the Fisher-matrix formalism. We show that this method might place useful constraints on the density parameter and the redshift evolution of the dark energy by combining it with a constraint from supernova measurements. For this purpose, the lens potential needs to be precisely reconstructed. We determine the required quality of data. We also briefly discuss the optimal strategy to constrain the cosmological parameters using gravitational lensing systems.
