description: We demonstrate heralded single photon generation in a CMOS-compatible silicon nanophotonic device. The strong modal confinement and slow group velocity provided by a coupled resonator optical waveguide (CROW) produced a large four-wave-mixing nonlinearity coefficient gamma_eff ~4100 W^-1 m^-1 at telecommunications wavelengths. Spontaneous four-wave-mixing using a degenerate pump beam at 1549.6 nm created photon pairs at 1529.5 nm and 1570.5 nm with a coincidence-to-accidental ratio exceeding 20. A photon correlation measurement of the signal (1529.5 nm) photons heralded by the detection of the idler (1570.5 nm) photons showed antibunching with g^(2)(0) = 0.19 \pm 0.03. The demonstration of a single photon source within a silicon platform holds promise for future integrated quantum photonic circuits.

Impactor flux and cratering on Ceres and Vesta: Implications for the early Solar System

description: We study the impactor flux and cratering on Ceres and Vesta caused by the collisional and dynamical evolution of the asteroid Main Belt. We develop a statistical code based on a well-tested model for the simultaneous evolution of the Main Belt and NEA size distributions. This code includes catastrophic collisions and noncollisional removal processes such as the Yarkovsky effect and the orbital resonances. The model assumes that the dynamical depletion of the early Main Belt was very strong, and owing to that, most Main Belt comminution occurred when its dynamical structure was similar to the present one. Our results indicate that the number of D > 1 km Main Belt asteroids striking Ceres and Vesta over the Solar System history are approximately 4 600 and 1 100 respectively. The largest Main Belt asteroids expected to have impacted Ceres and Vesta had diameters of 71.7 km and 21.1 km. The number of D > 0.1 km craters on Ceres is \sim 3.4 \times 10^8 and 6.2 \times 10^7 on Vesta. The number of craters with D > 100 km are 47 on Ceres and 8 on Vesta. Our study indicates that the D = 460 km crater observed on Vesta had to be formed by the impact of a D \sim 66.2 km projectile, which has a probability of occurr \sim 30% over the Solar System history. If significant discrepancies between our results about the cratering on Ceres and Vesta and data obtained from the Dawn Mission were found, they should be linked to a higher degree of collisional evolution during the early Main Belt and/or the existence of the late heavy bombardment. An increase in the collisional activity in the early phase may be provided for an initial configuration of the giant planets consistent with, for example, the Nice model. From this, the Dawn Mission would be able to give us clues about the initial configuration of the early Solar System and its subsequent dynamical evolution.

description: Main belt asteroid (300163) 2006 VW139 (later designated P/2006 VW139) was discovered to exhibit comet-like activity by the Pan-STARRS1 survey telescope using automated point-spread-function analyses performed by PS1's Moving Object Processing System. Deep follow-up observations show both a short (\sim 10") antisolar dust tail and a longer (\sim 60") dust trail aligned with the object's orbit plane, similar to the morphology observed for another main-belt comet, P/2010 R2 (La Sagra), and other well-established comets, implying the action of a long-lived, sublimation-driven emission event. Photometry showing the brightness of the near-nucleus coma remaining constant over \sim 30 days provides further evidence for this object's cometary nature, suggesting it is in fact a main-belt comet, and not a disrupted asteroid. A spectroscopic search for CN emission was unsuccessful, though we find an upper limit CN production rate of Q_CN < 1.3x10^24 mol/s, from which we infer a water production rate of Q_H2O < 10^26 mol/s. We also find an approximately linear optical spectral slope of 7.2%/1000A, similar to other cometary dust comae. Numerical simulations indicate that P/2006 VW139 is dynamically stable for > 100 Myr, while a search for a potential asteroid family around the object reveals a cluster of 24 asteroids within a cutoff distance of 68 m/s. At 70 m/s, this cluster merges with the Themis family, suggesting that it could be similar to the Beagle family to which another main-belt comet, 133P/Elst-Pizarro, belongs.

description: Hole spin qubits in Ge, investigated for all-electrical spin manipulation because of its large spin-orbit coupling, are exposed to charge noise leading to decoherence. Here we construct a model of $1/f$ noise from individual fluctuators and determine the dephasing time $T_2^*$ as a function of qubit properties. $T_2^*$ decreases with increasing magnetic field and is an order of magnitude longer for out-of-plane than for in-plane fields for the same Zeeman energy. $T_2^*$ shows little variation as a function of the top gate field and is a complex function of the dot radius. Our results should help experiments to enhance coherence in hole qubit architectures.

description: A comparative analysis of the structural phase transitions of EuTiO3 and SrTiO3 (at TS = 282 and 105 K, respectively) is made on the basis of phonon-dispersion and density functional calculations. The phase transition of EuTiO3 is predicted to arise from the softening of a transverse acoustic zone-boundary mode caused by the rotations of the TiO6 octahedra, as also found for the phase transition of SrTiO3. While the temperature dependence of the soft mode is similar in both compounds, their elastic properties differ drastically due to a large difference in the double-well potentials associated with the soft zone boundary-acoustic mode.

description: A genetic analysis of samples from the Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) bycatch of the 2014 Bering Sea-Aleutian Island (BSAI) trawl fishery for walleye pollock (Gadus chalcogrammus) was undertaken to determine the overall stock composition of the bycatch. Samples were genotyped for 43 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) DNA markers and results were estimated using the Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G) SNP baseline. In 2014, genetic samples from the Bering Sea were collected using a systematic random sampling protocol where one out of every 10 Chinook salmon encountered was sampled. Based on the analysis of 1,385 Chinook salmon bycatch samples collected throughout the 2014 BSAI walleye pollock trawl fishery, Coastal Western Alaska stocks dominated the sample set (49%) with smaller contributions from North Alaska Peninsula (18%), British Columbia (14%), and West Coast U.S. (WA/OR/CA) (7%) stocks. Analysis of temporal groupings within the pollock "A" and "B" seasons revealed changes in stock composition during the course of the year with lower contributions of Coastal Western Alaska, North Alaska Peninsula and Yukon stocks and higher contributions of West Coast U.S. (WA/OR/CA), British Columbia, NW Gulf of Alaska and Coastal Southeast Alaska stocks during the "B" season.

The asymptotic formula $$E_a(N)\sim C(a) \frac{N(\log\log N)^{2^{m-1}-1}}{(\log N)^{1-1/2^m}}$$ as $N$ goes to infinity, is established in this article, and this improves the best result in the literature dramatically. The proof depends on a very delicate analysis of the underlying group structure.

description: Differential cross sections in the top quark sector measured at the Fermilab Tevatron collider are presented. CDF used 2.7 fb$^{-1}$ of data and measured the differential cross section as a function of the invariant mass of the $t\bar{t}$ system. The measurement shows good agreement with the standard model and furthermore is used to derive limits on the ratio $κ/M_{Pl}$ for gravitons which decay to top quarks in the Randall-Sundrum model. D0 used 1.0 fb$^{-1} of data to measure the differential cross section as a function of the transverse momentum of the top quark. The measurement shows a good agreement to the higher order perturbative QCD prediction and various predictions based on various Monte-Carlo generators.

The quadruple-tank process: modeling and controller design
Creators: name: Wang, Hong
Publisher: name: University of Calgary
Year: 2003

description: Bibliography: p. 123-128
description: The main focus of this thesis work is to model and control multivariable laboratory system that consists of four interconnected water tanks. The quadruple-tank process is a typical coupled control process with two inputs and two outputs. This type of dynamic flow control process can be easily found in chemical distillation systems and other cascaded electro-mechanical systems. The objective of the process is to adjust the two bottom tank water levels by controlling two pumps. Therefore the goal of the thesis is to explore various alternative control strategies to solve this process control problem and evaluate the merits and drawbacks of these control strategies to this control problem. In this thesis work, physical modeling of the multi variable process, experimental system identification using black box models for simulation and control purposes are presented. The detailed control structure design procedures of PI control, Internal Model Control (IMC), Model Predictive Control (MPC), and Linear Quadratic Regulator Optimal Control (LQROC) are developed, extended and applied to the multivariable system. The real time simulation results of all the controllers are presented in comparison of set point tracking performance and robustness to response to the disturbance of a sudden flow rate change. Experimental verification has been carried out by using PC interface through Wincon 3.2 real-time platform. Through this thesis work, it has been found that the PI controller presents the fastest response, the LQR optimal controller has the smallest steady state error and the MPC controller has both good properties of PI and LQR controller.

description: This paper presents an Adaptive Greedy-compass Energy-aware Multipath protocol (AGEM), a novel routing protocol for wireless multimedia sensors networks (WMSNs). AGEM uses sensors node positions to make packet forwarding decisions. These decisions are made online, at each forwarding node, in such a way that there is no need for global network topology knowledge and maintenance. AGEM routing protocol performs load-balancing to minimize energy consumption among nodes using twofold policy: (1) smart greedy forwarding, based on adaptive compass and (2) walking back forwarding to avoid holes. Performance evaluations of AGEM compared to GPSR (Greedy Perimeter Stateless Routing) show that AGEM can: (a) maximize the network lifetime, (b) guarantee quality of service for video stream transmission, and (c) scale better on densely deployed wireless sensors network.

description: The Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) is a ten-year survey that will map the southern sky in six different filters 800 times before the end of its run. In this paper, we explore the primary effect of airline traffic on scheduling the LSST observations in addition to the secondary effect of condensation trails, or contrails, created by the presence of the aircraft. The large national investment being made in LSST implies that small improvments observing efficiency through aircraft and contrail avoidance can result in a significant improvement in the quality of the survey and its science. We have used the Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) signals received from commercial aircraft to monitor and record activity over the LSST site. We installed a ADS-B ground station on Cerro Pachón, Chile consiting of a1090Mhz antenna on the Andes Lidar Observatory feeding a RTL2832U software defined radio. We used dump1090 to convert the received ADS-B telementry into Basestation format, where we found that during the busiest time of the night there were only 4 signals being received each minute on average, which will have very small direct effect, if any, on the LSST observing scheduler. As part of future studies we will examin the effects of contrals on LSST observations.

description: We describe a system to measure the Quantum Efficiency in the wavelength range of 300nm to 1100nm of 40x40 mm n-channel CCD sensors for the construction of the 3.2 gigapixel LSST focal plane. The technique uses a series of instruments to create a very uniform flux of photons of controllable intensity in the wavelength range of interest across the face of the sensor. This allows the absolute Quantum Efficiency to be measured with an accuracy in the 1% range. This system will be part of a production facility at Brookhaven National Lab for the basic components of the LSST camera.

Team and individual flow in female ice hockey players: the relationships between flow, group cohesion, and athletic performance
Creators: name: Lazarovitz, Steven Matthew
Publisher: name: University of Calgary
Year: 2003

description: Bibliography: p. 130-138
description: This study examined the relationships between four kinds of flow, group cohesion, and athletic performance. The relative contributions of the kinds of flow and group cohesion to performance were also examined. The participants (n = 114) were elite female ice hockey players from seven Canadian university, college, and professional teams, and their head coaches. The measures of flow were individual state flow, individual dispositional flow, team state flow, and team dispositional flow; group cohesion was also assessed. There were four measures of athletic performance including: player perceptions of personal and team performances after a game, coaches' perceptions of team performance after the same game; and an objective score based on performance outcome (the difference between the two team scores). Several patterns of findings emerged. First, patterns of relationships occurred among the four kinds of flow and group cohesion. Second, individual state flow contributed to player ratings of self-performance. Third, team state flow contributed to both player and coaches' ratings of the team performance. Fourth, team state and dispositional flow both contributed to actual game scores. Fifth, group cohesion did not provide a significant nor consistent contribution to athletic performance over and above that of individual or team flow. The overall findings indicated that female ice hockey players' perceptions of individual and team flow (state and dispositional) differentially influenced performance, depending on the kind of performance measure. These and other results were discussed, as were limitations of the study and implications of the findings for players, coaches, and sport consultants.

description: We revisit the gravitational production of massive Dirac fermions in inflationary cosmology with a focus on clarifying the analytic computation of the particle number density in both the large and the small mass regimes. For the case in which the masses of the gravitationally produced fermions are small compared to the Hubble expansion rate at the end of inflation, we obtain a universal result for the number density that is nearly independent of the details of the inflationary model. The result is identical to the case of conformally coupled scalars up to an overall multiplicative factor of order unity for reasons other than just counting the fermionic degrees of freedom.

Using Nf = 2 CP-PACS gauge configurations on a 16^3 x 32 lattice at a = 0.16 fm and m_π\cong 1.1 GeV, we calculate central, tensor and spin-orbit potentials in the parity odd sector. Although statistical errors are still large, we observe that the qualitative features of these potentials roughly agree with those of phenomenological potentials.

description: A genetic analysis of samples from the Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) bycatch of the 2014 Gulf of Alaska (GOA) trawl fisheries for walleye pollock (Gadus chalcogrammus), rockfish (Sebastes spp.), and arrowtooth flounder (Atheresthes stomias) was undertaken to determine the stock composition of the sample sets. Samples were genotyped for 43 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) DNA markers and results were estimated using the Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G) SNP baseline. In 2014, genetic samples were collected from Chinook salmon taken in the bycatch of the Gulf of Alaska (GOA) pollock trawl fisheries using a simple random sample protocol with trip being the primary unit. This is the first year for this sampling protocol and resulted in the largest available genetic sample set to date with 10.7% of the salmon bycatch successfully genotyped. Based on the analysis of 1,163 Chinook salmon bycatch samples, British Columbia (43%), West Coast U.S. (35%), Coastal Southeast Alaska (16%), and Northwest Gulf of Alaska stocks (5%) comprised the largest stock groups. Weighting the available sample sets to the total bycatch by season and statistical area did not appreciably change the overall stock composition. In 2014, genetic samples from the bycatch of the rockfish catcher vessel (CV) fishery in the central GOA were collected by the fishing industry using a census sampling protocol where every Chinook salmon encountered was sampled. Based on the genotyping of 398 Chinook salmon bycatch samples collected from the 2014 GOA rockfish CV trawl fishery in NMFS Statistical Areas 620 and 630, West Coast U.S. stocks (WA/OR/CA) represented the largest stock grouping (72%) with smaller contributions from British Columbia (17%), Coastal Southeast Alaska (7%), and Northwest GOA (3%) stocks. Based on the genotyping of 404 Chinook salmon bycatch samples collected throughout the 2014 GOA arrowtooth flounder trawl fishery from the catcher-processors (CP) FV Vaerdal and FV US Intrepid; West Coast U.S. stocks (WA/OR/CA) represented the largest stock grouping (51%) with smaller contributions from British Columbia (36%), Coastal Southeast Alaska (10%), Northeast GOA (2%) and Northwest GOA (2%) stocks.

description: We consider electrons on a honeycomb or triangular lattice doped to the saddle point of the bandstructure. We assume system parameters are such that spin density wave (SDW) order emerges below a temperature $T_N$ and investigate the nature of the SDW phase. We argue that at $T < T_N$ the system develops a uniaxial SDW phase whose ordering pattern breaks $O(3) \times Z_4$ symmetry and corresponds to an eight site unit cell with non-uniform spin moments on different sites. This state is a half-metal -- it preserves full original Fermi surface, but has gapless charged excitations in one spin branch only. It allows for electrical control of spin currents and is desirable for nano-science.

description: Radiative transfer (RT) problems in which the source function includes a scattering-like integral are typical two-points boundary problems. Their solution via differential equations implies to make hypotheses on the solution itself, namely the specific intensity I(tau;n) of the radiation field. On the contrary, integral methods require to make hypotheses on the source function S(tau). It looks of course more reasonable to make hypotheses on the latter because one can expect that the run of S(tau) with depth be smoother than that of I(tau;n). In previous works we assumed a piece-wise parabolic approximation for the source function, which warrants the continuity of S(tau) and its first derivative at each depth point. Here we impose the continuity of the second derivative S"(tau). In other words, we adopt a cubic spline representation to the source function, which highly stabilize the numerical processes.

description: Advanced surveillance system should have the ability to track targets that have non-rigid shape and structure/size. A limitation in the field of real-time target tracking is the high computation load, so the tracking algorithms are difficult to be implemented on an ordinary personal computer without any special-purpose hardware component. This thesis presents a real-time zoom-invariant video object tracking algorithm (ZIVOTA). It can be used to track human or rigid-shaped object. ZIVOTA can provide information of object-of-interest while performing tracking, which enables automatic visual system control. It employs the same set of features to track both the position and size of a moving object through frames. Time-consuming processes like feature detection and affine basis set selection will be done only when it is necessary. Computational load is largely reduced. By using affine motion model, this technique is fundamentally zoom-invariant, it can deal with translation, rotation, and scaling of objects. Since the gaze point (representing the object location) and object boundary points (representing the object size) are virtual, ZIV OT A is able to handle partial occlusion.

Outpatient Pharmacy Setting

description: Introduction Drug related problems (DRPs) lead to negative health outcomes among patients in terms of morbidity, mortality and increased health care costs. The study aimed to evaluate the DRPs by determining the incidence and causes of DRPs as well as the interventions conducted to resolve the DRPS. Methodology This is a prospective, cross-sectional and observational study conducted in November 2020 by pharmacists in an Outpatient Pharmacy Setting. Outpatient Pharmacy supplies medications to the patients who visit to the specialist clinics of the hospital as well as the patients who discharge from wards. All DRPs detected from the received prescriptions and the interventions conducted during the study period were documented and analysed. Results Of the 9598 prescriptions received, 319 DRPs were identified. "Treatment Effectiveness" (55.8%) was the most common DRPs. The main causes of DRPs were "Drug Selection" (38.73%) and "Dose Selection" (31.21%). A total of 634 interventions were conducted: 76.14% were done at prescriber level and 23.14% were done by changing drug or indicating change in drug use. Of the 441 interventions proposed to the prescribers and patients, 438 (99.5%) were accepted. All 319 (100%) DRPs were totally solved. Discussion / Conclusion The data collected could primarily utilize bringing solutions to avoid future medication errors and optimize therapeutic outcomes, by identifying and preventing higher tendency of repetitive DRPs to occur. As a whole, increase cost-effectiveness on health care resource utilization. Disclaimer: Abstract text might vary slightly from what is displayed in the e-poster.

description: We describe a system to measure the Quantum Efficiency in the wavelength range of 300nm to 1100nm of 40x40 mm n-channel CCD sensors for the construction of the 3.2 gigapixel LSST focal plane. The technique uses a series of instruments to create a very uniform flux of photons of controllable intensity in the wavelength range of interest across the face of the sensor. This allows the absolute Quantum Efficiency to be measured with an accuracy in the 1% range. This system will be part of a production facility at Brookhaven National Lab for the basic components of the LSST camera.

description: In this paper, we derive and study two versions of the short pulse equation (SPE) in $(2+1)-$dimensions. Using Maxwell's equations as a starting point, and suitable Kramers-Kronig formulas for the permittivity and permeability of the medium, which are relevant, e.g., to left-handed metamaterials and dielectric slab waveguides, we employ a multiple scales technique to obtain the relevant models. General properties of the resulting $(2+1)$-dimensional SPEs, including fundamental conservation laws, as well as the Lagrangian and Hamiltonian structure and numerical simulations for one- and two-dimensional initial data, are presented. Ultrashort 1D breathers appear to be fairly robust, while rather general two-dimensional localized initial conditions are transformed into quasi-one-dimensional dispersing waveforms.

Modeling of gas production from hydrates in porous media

description: Bibliography: p. 194-204
description: Gas hydrates are considered to be an alternative energy resource of the future, as they exist in enormous quantities in permafrost and offshore environments. However, due to the severe environmental conditions of gas hydrate reservoirs and their solid nonflowing form, extensive technological development and expertise are required before commercial gas production becomes possible. In this work, both analytical and numerical mathematical models are developed to perform simulation studies of gas production from methane-hydrate by the depressurization method. The three primary mechanisms involved in hydrate decomposition in porous media are considered to be the heat transfer to the decomposing zone, the kinetics of hydrate decomposition and the gas-water two-phase flow. The relative importance of these mechanisms is compared over a realistic range of physical properties. Considering the rate-controlling mechanisms, a new analytical model is developed to predict the performance of hydrate decomposition in porous media. In a second part of the work, a two-dimensional numerical model for gas production from hydrate reservoirs is developed. The model includes equations of conductive and convective heat transfer, kinetics of hydrate decomposition, and gaswater two-phase flow. A single-well case is considered to model a hydrate reservoir where the hydrate-bearing layer overlies a free gas zone. The importance of the different mechanisms is examined by investigating the effect of various parameters, including formation properties, operating conditions and kinetic parameters, on gas production behaviour. The results suggest that the rate of heat transfer plays an important role in the process. Furthermore, the rate of gas generation from hydrate decomposition would not be affected unless the reaction rate constants in porous media are smaller than those measured in stirred reactors by many orders of magnitude. Under operating condition of constant bottom-hole-pressure, the rate of gas generation increases significantly with an increase in the rock permeability. It is estimated that the gas production rate from hydrate decomposition can be as high as 2-4 MMSCF/D in a drainage area of one- section (1600m x 1600m) with 10 m hydrate at top.

High Velocity Precessing Jets from the Water Fountain IRAS 18286-0959 Revealed by VLBA Observations

description: We report the results of multi-epoch VLBA observations of the 22.2GHz water maser emission associated with the "water fountain" IRAS 18286-0959. We suggest that this object is the second example of a highly collimated bipolar precessing outflow traced by water maser emission, the other is W43A. The detected water emission peaks are distributed over a velocity range from -50km/s to 150km/s. The spatial distribution of over 70% of the identified maser features is found to be highly collimated along a spiral jet (jet 1) extended southeast to northwest, the remaining features appear to trace another spiral jet (jet 2) with a different orientation. The two jets form a "double-helix" pattern which lies across ~200 milliarcseconds. The maser distribution is reasonably fit by a model consisting of two bipolar precessing jets. The 3D velocities of jet 1 and jet 2 are derived to be 138km/s and 99km/s, respectively. The precession period of jet 1 is about 56 years. For jet 2, three possible models are tested and they give different values for the kinematic parameters. We propose that the appearance of two jets is the result of a single driving source with significant proper motion.

description: Particle accelerators, among the largest, most complex devices, demand increasingly sophisticated computational tools for the design and optimization of the next generation of accelerators that will meet the challenges of increasing energy, intensity, accuracy, compactness, complexity and efficiency. It is key that contemporary software take advantage of the latest advances in computer hardware and scientific software engineering practices, delivering speed, reproducibility and feature composability for the aforementioned challenges. We will describe the Exascale software stack that is being developed at the heart of the Beam pLasma Accelerator Simulation Toolkit (BLAST). As a highlight, we present how the US DOE Exascale Computing Project (ECP) application WarpX uses the power of GPUs at scale, which won the 2022 ACM Gordon Bell Prize. We will present performance results on the first Exascale supercomputer for the modeling of laser-plasma acceleration. We then describe how we are leveraging the ECP experience to develop a new generation ecosystem of codes that, combined with machine learning, will enable modeling from the ultrafast to the ultraprecise for future accelerator design and operations.
Cutoff effects of heavy quark vacuum polarization at one-loop order

description: The charm-quark mass is typically not so far from the cutoff 1/a in lattice simulations. Its determinant may then potentially introduce large cutoff effects. We choose the O(a)-improved Wilson formulation and compute the vacuum polarization effects in two rather different observables at one-loop order. One is the quark-antiquark static force and the other the Schroedinger functional coupling; in addition we investigate two more quantities resulting from the latter. In all the cases the lattice artifacts due to the charm-quark are small when compared to the gluonic effects. This indicates that the inclusion of charm-quarks in dynamical fermion simulations is typically not a problem.

description: A measurement of the mass difference between the top and the antitop quark (Delta m(t) = m(t) - m(anti-t)) is performed using events with a muon or an electron and at least four jets in the final state. The analysis is based on data collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 4.96 +/- 0.11 inverse femtobarns, and yields the value of Delta m(t) = -0.44 +/- 0.46 (stat) +/- 0.27 (syst) GeV. This result is consistent with equality of particle and antiparticle masses required by CPT invariance, and provides a significantly improved precision relative to existing measurements.

description: Superconductivity in LaRu$_3$Si$_2$ with the honeycomb structure of Ru atoms has been investigated. It is found that the normal state specific heat C/T exhibits a deviation from the Debye model down to the lowest temperature. A relation $C/T = γ_n+βT^2-ATlnT$ which concerns the electron correlations can fit the data very well. The suppression to the superconductivity by the magnetic field is not the mean-field like, which is associated well with the observation of strong superconducting fluctuations. The field dependence of the induced quasiparticle density of states measured by the low temperature specific heat shows a non-linear feature, indicating the significant contributions given by the delocalized quasiparticles.
