description: We study inelastic collisions of counter-propagating self-induced transparency solitons in a homogeneously broadened two-level medium. The energy of the pulse can be almost totally absorbed in the medium due to asymmetric collision with a properly chosen control pulse. The medium state thus prepared demonstrates the property of an all-optical diode which transmits pulses from one direction and blocks from another. The saturation process of a controlled absorption effect, local-field correction influence, and the parameter ranges for the diode action are studied as well.

description: We study the nonconserved phase ordering dynamics of the d = 2, 3 random field Ising model, quenched to below the critical temperature. Motivated by the puzzling results of previous work in two and three di- mensions, reporting a crossover from power-law to logarithmic growth, together with superuniversal behavior of the correlation function, we have undertaken a careful investigation of both the domain growth law and the autocorrelation function. Our main results are as follows: We confirm the crossover to asymptotic logarithmic behavior in the growth law, but, at variance with previous findings, the exponent in the preasymptotic power law is disorder-dependent, rather than being the one of the pure system. Furthermore, we find that the autocorre- lation function does not display superuniversal behavior. This restores consistency with previous results for the d = 1 system, and fits nicely into the unifying scaling scheme we have recently proposed in the study of the random bond Ising model.

On kHz oscillations and characteristic frequencies of accreting magnetospheres
Creators: name: Alpar, M. Ali
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2012
Subjects: subject: High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena (astro-ph.HE)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: When an accreting star is close to rotational equilibrium between the dipole component of the stellar magnetic field and the accretion disk, the star's rotation rate is roughly of the order of the Keplerean rotation rate at the inner boundary of the disk, estimated as the conventional Alfven radius. A range of frequencies higher than this equilibrium rotation frequency can naturally arise if the accretion flow is channeled by higher multipoles of the star's magnetic field. The higher multipole components of the magnetic field will balance the material stresses of the accretion flow at radii closer to the star. The Kepler frequencies associated with these generalized Alfven radii increase with the order of the multipole. Other frequency bands, like the epicyclic frequencies associated with the accretion flow, may in turn be higher than the Kepler frequencies. We present expressions for the spectrum of higher frequencies arising due to these effects. Kilohertz quasi-periodic oscillation frequencies that are much higher than the rotation rate of the neutron star, as observed from the recently discovered 11 Hz (P = 90 ms) X-ray pulsar IGR J17480-2446 in the globular cluster Terzan 5, may be due to modulation of the accretion rate by the excitation of these modes in the accretion flow. The very high QPO frequencies observed from the soft gamma repeaters SGR 1806-20 (P = 5.2 s) and SGR 1900+14 (P = 7.5 s) may also correspond to these characteristic frequencies if SGRs accrete from fallback disks around them.

description: The spin-orbit splitting in heavy-light mesons is seen to be suppressed experimentally. It is shown that it can be understood qualitatively in the frame work of Dirac theory. An alternative derivation of a relativistic dynamical symmetry for the Dirac Hamiltonian, which suppresses spin orbit splitting, is also given. However it is shown that such a symmetry is not needed since the spin-orbit splitting in Dirac theory with Coulomb like potential (as is the case for the one gluon exchange potential in pQCD) is small anyway.

description: Iterated quadratic polynomials give rise to a rich collection of different dynamical systems that are parametrized by a simple complex parameter $c$. The different dynamical features are encoded by the \emph{kneading sequence} which is an infinite sequence over $\{0,\1\}$. Not every such sequence actually occurs in complex dynamics. The set of admissible kneading sequences was described by Milnor and Thurston for real quadratic polynomials, and by the authors in the complex case. We prove that the set of admissible kneading sequences has positive Bernoulli measure within the set of sequences over $\{0,\1\}$.

The hypersurfaces that discriminate these two cones for ternary sextics and quaternary quartics are shown to be Noether-Lefschetz loci of K3 surfaces. The projective duals of these hypersurfaces are defined by rank constraints on Hankel matrices. We compute their degrees using numerical algebraic geometry, thereby verifying results due to Maulik and Pandharipande. The non-SOS extreme rays of the two cones of non-negative forms are parametrized respectively by the Severi variety of plane rational sextics and by the variety of quartic symmetroids.

description: Zero Trust is the new cybersecurity model that challenges the traditional one by promoting continuous verification of users, devices, and applications, whatever their position or origin. This model is critical for reducing the attack surface and preventing lateral movement without relying on implicit trust. Adopting the zero trust principle in Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), especially in the context of connected vehicles (CVs), presents an adequate solution in the face of increasing cyber threats, thereby strengthening the ITS environment. This paper offers an understanding of Zero Trust security through a comprehensive review of existing literature, principles, and challenges. It specifically examines its applications in emerging technologies, particularly within connected vehicles, addressing potential issues and cyber threats faced by CVs. Inclusion/exclusion criteria for the systematic literature review were planned alongside a bibliometric analysis. Moreover, keyword co-occurrence analysis was done, which indicates trends and general themes for the Zero Trust model, Zero Trust implementation, and Zero Trust application. Furthermore, the paper explores various ZT models proposed in the literature for connected vehicles, shedding light on the challenges associated with their integration into CV systems. Future directions of this research will focus on incorporating Zero Trust principles within Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) and Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) communication paradigms. This initiative intends to enhance the security posture and safety protocols within interconnected vehicular networks. The proposed research seeks to address the unique cybersecurity vulnerabilities inherent in the highly dynamic nature of vehicular communication systems.

description: This paper is concerned with the hypercoercivity property of solutions to the Cauchy problem on the linear Boltzmann equation with a confining potential force. We obtain the exponential time rate of solutions converging to the steady state under some conditions on both initial data and the potential function. Specifically, initial data is properly chosen such that the conservation laws of mass, total energy and possible partial angular momentums are satisfied for all nonnegative time, and a large class of potentials including some polynomials are allowed. The result also extends the case of parabolic forces considered in [4] to the non-parabolic general case here.

We find that the quantum Fisher information displays a sharp transition as the fixed point evolving from stable to unstable regime. Moreover, the transition from Josephson oscillation to self-trapping is accompanied by an abrupt change of the quantum Fisher information.

description: The flash spectrum of the solar chromosphere and corona was measured with a slitless spectrograph before, after, and during the totality of the solar eclipse, of 11 July 2010, at Easter Island, Chile. This eclipse took place at the beginning of the Solar Cycle 24, after an extended minimum of solar activity. The spectra taken during the eclipse show a different intensity ratio of the red and green coronal lines compared with those taken during the total solar eclipse of 1 August 2008, which took place towards the end of the Solar Cycle 23. The characteristic coronal forbidden emission line of forbidden Fe XIV (5303 Å) was observed on the east and west solar limbs in four areas relatively symmetrically located with respect to the solar rotation axis. Subtraction of the continuum flash-spectrum background led to the identification of several extremely weak emission lines, including forbidden Ca XV (5694 Å), which is normally detected only in regions of very high excitation, e.g., during flares or above large sunspots. The height of the chromosphere was measured spectrophotometrically, using spectral lines from light elements and compared with the equivalent height of the lower chromosphere measured using spectral lines from heavy elements.

Excitation of Unidentified Infrared Bands by H atom impact
Creators: name: Papoular, Renaud
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2011
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics of Galaxies (astro-ph.GA)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A model was developed for the excitation of the UIBs by H atom impacts in the Interstellar Medium. It builds upon the fact that, in the presence of far UV radiation and hydrocarbon grains, the hydrogen gas will be partially dissociated and the grain surface will be partially hydrogenated and partially covered with free carbon bonds. Under such a statistical equilibrium, H atoms from the gas will recombine with C atoms at the grain surface at some rate. At each recombination, the H atom deposits an energy of about 5 eV in the grain. Half of this is directly converted into vibrational excitation, always distributed in the same way among the most tightly coupled vibration modes of the grain. Absent frequent grain-grain collisions, the only outlet for this energy is IR reemission, part of it in the UIBs, provided the chemical structure of the grains is adequate, and the other part in the continuum. The partition only depends upon the grain size, all grains being assumed to have the same constitution. Only a fraction, about 0.25, of the grains (among the smallest ones) will contribute significantly to the UIBs. It is shown quantitatively that H impacts are generally more efficient excitation agents than UV absorption because of the overwhelming abundance of hydrogen relative to UV photons. Only very close to young bright stars is this no longer true because photon flux then largely exceeds H atom flux. Thus H impacts and FUV absorption are both necessary to understand the variety of observed UIB spectra. The model translates into a small number of equations enabling a quantitative comparison of its predictions with available astronomical observations, which have become exquisitely rich and accurate in the last two decades.

We show that the standard treatment for collective neutrino flavor transformation is adequate at late times, but could be inadequate in the crucial shock revival/explosion epoch of core-collapse supernovae, where the potentials that govern neutrino flavor evolution are affected by the scattered neutrinos. Taking account of this effect, and the way it couples to entropy and composition, will require a new paradigm in supernova modeling.

Because iodine is required for thyroid hormone synthesis, diffuse and/or nodular goiter, resulting from a persistent thyroid stimulation, represents the adaptive response to adverse environmental conditions, namely nutritional iodine deficiency. Endemic goiter, defined on a pure epidemiologic basis (i.e., a condition affecting more than 10% of the general population), was widely present in large parts of Europe and Mediterranean area as the predominant iodine deficiency disorder (IDD).

Among causes of SDH, a very rare event is represented by the eosinophilic granuloma (EG), a well-known variety of Langerhans’ cell histiocytosis, which seldom is localized inside/under the dura mater. We report herein the case of a 13-year-old boy presenting intracranial hypertension and consequently surgically treated for an imaging revealed SDH. Morpho-histopathological and immunohistochemical (IHC) analyses revealed that SDH was caused by an EG.

description: Lend Them Your Ears is one of the initiatives we started to share our research participants’ unfiltered experiences. We designed our research project to understand how European youths, native or migrant-origin, respond to the flows of globalization resulting in de-industrialization, unemployment, depopulation, geographical mobility, social-economic deprivation, spatial deprivation, and nostalgic deprivation. Our participants rely on diverse and occasionally clashing repertoires to express their discontent with the current social, economic, political, and spatial conditions. So far, however, we observed that they do not necessarily speak their minds in mutually exclusive terms. In our interviews, we frequently come across profound and nuanced expressions that, we believe, are worthy of being shared widely outside of our academic publications. The quotes presented in this section make us think, even though we do not always agree with their content, rhetoric, or the terminology on which they rely. While processing their arguments in various ways in our research, we aim to keep our interlocutors’ voices as they want them to be heard as we believe we should be opening up conversations, not closing them down. As Robert Young pointed out earlier in his seminal work, White Mythologies (London: Routledge, 2004: 5), it is not that they do not know how to speak, “but rather that the dominant would not listen.” In that spirit, we are very excited to introduce this new series where we share excerpts from our in-depth interviews. Listening and learning should be a staple of public debate. Therefore, we lend our ears to the often overlooked, ignored, unheard, or politically corrected voices. At the same time, this will serve as a platform for students, experts, and stakeholders who seek ways to make our societies more equal.

description: We present a search for the pair production of first generation scalar leptoquarks (LQ) in data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5.4 fb$^{-1}$ collected with the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider in ppbar collisions at $\sqrt{s}=1.96$ TeV. In the channel $LQ \bar{LQ} \rightarrow eν_e qq'$, where q, q' are u or d quarks, no significant excess of data over background is observed, and we set a 95% C.L. lower limit of 326 GeV on the leptoquark mass, assuming equal probabilities of leptoquark decays to eq and $ν_e q'$.

description: While recent sky surveys have uncovered large numbers of ever fainter Milky Way satellites, their classification as star clusters, low-luminosity galaxies, or tidal overdensities remains often unclear. Likewise, their contributions to the build-up of the halo is yet debated. In this contribution we will discuss the current knowledge of the stellar populations and chemo-dynamics in these puzzling satellites, with a particular focus on dwarf spheroidal galaxies and the globular clusters in the outer Galactic halo. Also the question of whether some of the outermost halo objects are dynamically associated with the (Milky Way) halo at all is addressed in terms of proper measurements in the remote Leo I and II dwarf galaxies.

Quantum Simulation of Tunneling in Small Systems

Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A number of quantum algorithms have been performed on small quantum computers; these include Shor's prime factorization algorithm, error correction, Grover's search algorithm and a number of analog and digital quantum simulations. Because of the number of gates and qubits necessary, however, digital quantum particle simulations remain untested. A contributing factor to the system size required is the number of ancillary qubits needed to implement matrix exponentials of the potential operator. Here, we show that a set of tunneling problems may be investigated with no ancillary qubits and a cost of one single-qubit operator per time step for the potential evolution. We show that physically interesting simulations of tunneling using 2 qubits (i.e. on 4 lattice point grids) may be performed with 40 single and two-qubit gates. Approximately 70 to 140 gates are needed to see interesting tunneling dynamics in three-qubit (8 lattice point) simulations.

description: The new excluded volume hadron gas model by Singh et al. [1-7] is critically discussed. We demonstrate that in this model the results obtained from relations between thermodynamical quantities disagree with the corresponding results obtained by statistical ensemble averaging. Thus, the model does not satisfy the requirements of thermodynamical consistency.

The scattering of small bodies in planetary systems: constraints on the possible orbits of cometary material

description: The scattering of small bodies by planets is an important dynamical process in planetary systems. We present an analytical model to describe this process using the simplifying assumption that each particle's dynamics is dominated by a single planet at a time. As such the scattering process can be considered as a series of three body problems during each of which the Tisserand parameter with respect to the relevant planet is conserved. This constrains the orbital parameter space into which a particle can be scattered. Such arguments have previously been applied to the process by which comets are scattered to the inner Solar System from the Kuiper belt. Our analysis generalises this for an arbitrary planetary system. For particles scattered from an outer belt directly along a chain of planets, based on the initial value of the Tisserand parameter, we find that it is possible to (i) determine which planets can eject the particles from the system, (ii) define a minimum stellar distance to which particles can be scattered, and (iii) constrain range of particle inclinations (and hence the disc height) at different distances. Applying this to the Solar System, we determine that the planets are close to optimally separated for scattering particles between them. Concerning warm dust found around stars that also have Kuiper belt analogues, we show that, if there is to be a dynamical link between the outer and inner regions, then certain architectures for the intervening planetary system are incapable of producing the observations. Furthermore we show that for certain planetary systems, comets can be scattered from an outer belt, or with fewer constraints, from an Oort cloud analogue, onto star-grazing orbits, in support of a planetary origin to the metal pollution and dustiness of some nearby white dwarfs.

description: Objective: The goal of this article is to present and to evaluate a sensor-based functional performance monitoring system. The system consists of an array of Wii Balance Boards (WBB) and an exergame that estimates whether the player can maintain physical independence, comparing the results with the 30 s Chair-Stand Test (30CST).

Methods: Sixteen participants recruited at a nursing home performed the 30CST and then played the exergame described here as often as desired during a period of 2 weeks. For each session, features related to walking and standing on the WBBs while playing the exergame were collected. Different classifier algorithms were used to predict the result of the 30CST on a binary basis as able or unable to maintain physical independence.

Results: By using a Logistic Model Tree, we achieved a maximum accuracy of 91% when estimating whether player’s 30CST scores were over or under a threshold of 12 points, our findings suggest that predicting age- and sex-adjusted cutoff scores is feasible.

Conclusion: An array of WBBs seems to be a viable solution to estimate lower extremity strength and thereby functional performance in a non-invasive and continuous manner. This study provides proof of concept supporting the use of exergames to identify and monitor elderly subjects at risk of losing physical independence.

description: Second order optical nonlinear processes involve the coherent mixing of two electromagnetic waves to generate a new optical frequency, which plays a central role in a variety of applications, such as ultrafast laser systems, rectifiers, modulators, and optical imaging. However, progress is limited in the mid-infrared (MIR) region due to the lack of suitable nonlinear materials. It is desirable to develop a robust system with a strong, electrically tunable second order optical nonlinearity. Here we demonstrate theoretically that AB-stacked bilayer graphene (BLG) can exhibit a giant and tunable second order nonlinear susceptibility χ^(2) once an in-plane electric field is applied. χ^(2) can be electrically tuned from 0 to ~ {10^5 pm/V}, three orders of magnitude larger than the widely used nonlinear crystal AgGaSe2. We show that the unusually large χ^(2) arises from two different quantum enhanced two-photon processes thanks to the unique electronic spectrum of BLG. The tunable electronic bandgap of BLG adds additional tunability on the resonance of χ^(2), which corresponds to a tunable wavelength ranging from ~2.6 μm to ~3.1 μm for the up-converted photon. Combined with the high electron mobility and optical transparency of the atomically thin BLG, our scheme suggests a new regime of nonlinear photonics based on BLG.

description: Annotation of the recording Hayu 1972 Tape 2 side A, an elicitation of Hayu disyllabic nouns. The speaker, a woman of about 50, was prompted in Nepali to pronounce single Hayu words at least twice, in a (sometimes inappropriate) frame "mi ___ nomi" 'that is a ___'. (The prompts were not usually recorded.) The XML annotation is a provisional adaptation of the Lacito TEXT annotation. Each S element contains the responses to a prompt for a single word. It contains a transcription of the speakers response ("phono"), a lexical form ("ortho") identifying the word elicited, and a translation of the word. These last serve as rough indexing keys. If a response contains additional words of interest (i.e. not 'that', 'is', etc.), it is annotated again in a new S element for each such word. The transcription is mainly IPA-based exept that 'y' is used for jod (IPA [j]).
