description: The optical emission of InGaN quantum dots embedded in GaN nanowires is dynamically controlled by a surface acoustic wave (SAW). The emission energy of both the exciton and biexciton lines is modulated over a 1.5 meV range at ~330 MHz. A small but systematic difference in the exciton and biexciton spectral modulation reveals a linear change of the biexciton binding energy with the SAW amplitude. The present results are relevant for the dynamic control of individual single photon emitters based on nitride semiconductors.

description: The current work aims to develop a shikonin and tea tree oil loaded nanoemulsion system stabilized by a mixture of GRAS grade surfactants (Tween 20 and monoolein) and a cosurfactant (Transcutol P). This system was designed to address the poor aqueous solubility and photostability issues of shikonin. The authenticity of shikonin employed in this study was confirmed using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. The optimized nanoemulsion exhibited highly favorable characteristics in terms of zeta potential (−23.8 mV), polydispersity index (0.216) and particle size (22.97 nm). These findings were corroborated by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) micrographs which confirmed the spherical and uniform nature of the nanoemulsion globules. Moreover, attenuated total reflectance (ATR) and X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD) analysis affirmed improved chemical stability and amorphization, respectively. Photodegradation studies were performed by exposing pure shikonin and the developed nanoemulsion to ultraviolet light for 1 h using a UV lamp, followed by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis. The results confirmed that the developed nanoemulsion system imparts photoprotection to pure shikonin in the encapsulated system. Furthermore, the research investigated the effect of the nanoemulsion on biofilms formed by Candida albicans and methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Scanning electron microscopy, florescence microscopy and phase contrast microscopy unveiled a remarkable reduction in biofilm area, accompanied by disruptions in the cell wall and abnormalities on the cell surface of the tested microorganisms. In conclusion, the nanoencapsulation of shikonin with tea tree oil as the lipid phase showcased significantly enhanced antimicrobial and antibiofilm potential compared to pure shikonin against resistant strains of Candida albicans and Staphylococcus aureus.

description: We discuss recent advances in the radiative-hydrodynamic modeling of core collapse supernovae in multi-dimensions. A number of earlier attempts at fully radiation-hydrodynamic models utilized either the grey approximation to describe the neutrino distribution or utilized more sophisticated multigroup transport methods restricted to radial rays. In both cases these models have also neglected the O(v/c) terms that couple the radiation and matter strongly in the optically thick regions of the collapsed core. In this paper we present some recent advances that resolve some shortcomings of earlier models.

Intramolecular interactions and lipid signaling regulate mitochondrial translocation of VMS1

description: Mitochondria fulfill essential roles in a variety of cellular processes, including ATP generation, Fe-S cluster biogenesis, amino acid metabolism, lipid metabolism, and various signaling pathways. Consistent with their contributions to various processes, mitochondrial dysfunction leads to a wide range of diseases and disorders, including diabetes, neurodegenerative disorders, heart failure, and cancer. To protect cells from mitochondrial dysfunction and subsequent disease, cells have developed a network of pathways responsible for maintaining mitochondrial quality. One of these pathways depends on the Vms1-Cdc48 protein complex. This complex localizes diffusely throughout the cytosol under unstressed conditions, but translocates to mitochondria in response to stress and aids in the degradation of mitochondrial proteins. Using Saccharomyces cerevisiae, we have determined how this stress-responsive localization to mitochondria is regulated. Mitochondrial targeting of Vms1 is mediated by a conserved Mitochondrial Targeting Domain (Vms1MTD), which is inhibited by intramolecular interactions with a N-terminal Leucine Rich Sequence (Vms1LRS) under unstressed conditions. In response to oxidative stress, Vms1LRS inhibition of the Vms1MTD is relieved and Vms1 localizes to damaged mitochondria. Using a combination of genetics, biochemistry, and molecular biology, we determined that ergosterol peroxide (EP) is the receptor to which Vms1 localizes. EP is formed from the nonenzymatic oxidation of ergosterol by reactive oxygen, specifically singlet oxygen. The same stress conditions that promote Vms1 localization to mitochondria induce the accumulation of mitochondrial EP. This leads us to hypothesize that EP levels manifest the degree of stress within a mitochondrion. Furthermore, we suggest that accumulation of EP contributes to disrupting the inhibitory interaction between the Vms1MTD and Vms1LRS, enabling Vms1 to be preferentially recruited to damaged mitochondria. We have also demonstrated that sphingolipids are required for efficient Vms1 translocation to mitochondria. However, we were unable to identify a physiologically relevant sphingolipid species to which Vms1 binds directly. Rather, we hypothesize that sphingolipids are necessary to create lipid microdomains, which help stabilize sterols, such as ergosterol peroxide, in the outer mitochondrial membrane. Taken together, the studies described herein illustrate novel coordination between lipid signaling and mitochondrial quality control pathways.

description: The ${\cal N} = 2^*$ Yang-Mills theory in four dimensions is a non-conformal theory that appears as a mass deformation of maximally supersymmetric ${\cal N} = 4$ Yang-Mills theory. This theory also takes part in the AdS/CFT correspondence and its gravity dual is type IIB supergravity on the Pilch-Warner background. The finite temperature properties of this theory have been studied recently in the literature. It has been argued that at large $N$ and strong coupling this theory exhibits no thermal phase transition at any non-zero temperature. The low temperature ${\cal N} = 2^*$ plasma can be compared to the QCD plasma. We provide a lattice construction of ${\cal N} = 2^*$ Yang-Mills on a hypercubic lattice starting from the ${\cal N} = 4$ gauge theory. The lattice construction is local, gauge-invariant, free from fermion doubling problem and preserves a part of the supersymmetry. This nonperturbative formulation of the theory can be used to provide a highly nontrivial check of the AdS/CFT correspondence in a non-conformal theory.

Stability in fiber bundle model : Existence of strong links and the effect of disorder

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

description: In this paper I have studied the fiber bundle model with a fraction α of infinitely strong fibers. Inclusion of such unbreakable fraction has been proven to affect the failure process in early studies, especially around a critical value α_c . The present work has a twofold purpose: (i) study of failure abruptness, mainly the brittle to quasi-brittle transition point (δ_c ) with varying α and (ii) variation of α_c as we change the disorder introduced in the model. The brittle to quasi-brittle transition is confirmed from the failure abruptness. On the other hand, the α_c is obtained from the knowledge of failure abruptness and statistics of avalanches. It is observed that δ_c scales to lower values, suggesting more quasi-brittle like continuous failure even at low strength of disorder, when α is increased. Also, the critical fraction α_c, required to make the model deviate from the conventional results, increases with decreasing δ values. The analytical expression for α_c shows good agreement with the numerical result. Finally, the findings in the paper are compared with previous results as well as with the real life application of composite materials.

description: We study the constraints imposed on the population and phase relaxation rates by the physical requirement of completely positive evolution for open N-level systems. The Lindblad operators that govern the evolution of the system are expressed in terms of observable relaxation rates, explicit formulas for the decoherence rates due to population relaxation are derived, and it is shown that there are additional, non-trivial constraints on the pure dephasing rates for N>2. Explicit experimentally testable inequality constraints for the decoherence rates are derived for three and four-level systems, and the implications of the results are discussed for generic ladder-, Lambda- and V-systems, and transitions between degenerate energy levels.

description: Heliospheric shocks are excellent systems for testing theories of particle acceleration in their environs. These generally fall into two classes: (1) interplanetary shocks that are linear in their ion acceleration characteristics, with the non-thermal ions serving as test particles, and (2) non-linear systems such as the Earth's bow shock and the solar wind termination shock, where the accelerated ions strongly influence the magnetohydrodynamic structure of the shock. This paper explores the modelling of diffusive acceleration at a particular interplanetary shock, with an emphasis on explaining in situ measurements of ion distribution functions. The observational data for this event was acquired on day 292 of 1991 by the Ulysses mission. The modeling is performed using a well-known kinetic Monte Carlo simulation, which has yielded good agreement with observations at several heliospheric shocks, as have other theoretical techniques, namely hybrid plasma simulations, and numerical solution of the diffusion-convection equation. In this theory/data comparison, it is demonstrated that diffusive acceleration theory can, to first order, successfully account for both the proton distribution data near the shock, and the observation of energetic protons farther upstream of this interplanetary shock than lower energy pick-up protons, using a single turbulence parameter. The principal conclusion is that diffusive acceleration of inflowing upstream ions can model this pick-up ion-rich event without the invoking any seed pre-acceleration mechanism, though this investigation does not rule out the action of such pre-acceleration.

An Information Theoretic Measure for Robot Expressivity

Year: 2017

description: This paper presents a principled way to think about articulated movement for artificial agents and a measurement of platforms that produce such movement. In particular, in human-facing scenarios, the shape evolution of robotic platforms will become essential in creating systems that integrate and communicate with human counterparts. This paper provides a tool to measure the expressive capacity or expressivity of articulated platforms. To do this, it points to the synergistic relationship between computation and mechanization. Importantly, this way of thinking gives an information theoretic basis for measuring and comparing robots of increasing complexity and capability. The paper will provide concrete examples of this measure in application to current robotic platforms. It will also provide a comparison between the computational and mechanical capabilities of robotic platforms and analyze order-of-magnitude trends over the last 15 years. Implications for future work made by the paper are to provide a method by which to quantify movement imitation, outline a way of thinking about designing expressive robotic systems, and contextualize the capabilities of current robotic systems.

description: The goal of the Atwood group is to improve student success in general chemistry at the University of Utah. To accomplish this goal, we created a system of pretests that allows students to practice before the actual exam and analyze their pretest scores to assess their ability prior to taking an actual exam. We developed a method to analyze an individual student's proficiency on the topics that make up a test utilizing Item Response Theory (IRT). This had not been done previously at the individual student level. We used this information to provide students with feedback on where to focus their studies. We hoped that the combination of extra practice, the opportunity for students to check their own progress and detailed feedback would result in improved outcomes on the exams. After implementing this pretest system, equated student abilities on the midterm exams increased significantly compared to the previous year when the pretest system was not in place. The particular effect of the topic feedback was also studied by comparison with a control class but results were inconclusive.

description: A search for the \thp in the reaction $γd \to pK^-K^+n$ was completed using the CLAS detector at Jefferson Lab. A study of the same reaction, published earlier, reported the observation of a narrow \thp resonance. The present experiment, with more than 30 times the integrated luminosity of our earlier measurement, does not show any evidence for a narrow pentaquark resonance. The angle-integrated upper limit on \thp production in the mass range of 1.52 to 1.56 GeV/c$^2$ for the $γd \to pK^-Θ^+$ reaction is 0.3 nb (95% CL). This upper limit depends on assumptions made for the mass and angular distribution of \thp production. Using \lamstar production as an empirical measure of rescattering in the deuteron, the cross section upper limit for the elementary $γn \to K^-Θ^+$ reaction is estimated to be a factor of 10 higher, {\it i.e.}, $\sim 3$ nb (95% CL).

Rhetoric

description: This dissertation addresses the ways that students negotiate rhetorical constructions of subjectivity and agency, and how the logics of time work on subjectivity and agency within the context of a nontraditional high school. This work is necessary to elucidate a tension at the heart of not only mainstream high school education in the early 21st century, but also to lay bare a paradox of rhetorical theory: that the field has historically been premised upon the speaking subject, but that the subjects who may speak are not only bounded by race, gender, and class, as many other scholars have illustrated - but also by the material effects of time as a rhetorical phenomenon upon the speaker. Rhetoricians can address this gap in theory by examining subjectivity and agency through three rhetorical registers of time: language as time, learning as work/work as time, and developmental time. Using participatory critical rhetoric to examine live, in situ discourses, and critical rhetoric to investigate textual sources, this dissertation examines disparate discourses that construct studenthood, such as "official" discourses of education propagated by those in positions of power such as state school boards or school districts as well as students' own discourses.
Cancelling Weyl anomaly from position dependent coupling

Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: Once we put a quantum field theory on a curved manifold, it is natural to further assume that coupling constants are position dependent. The position dependent coupling constants then provide an extra contribution to the Weyl anomaly so that we may attempt to cancel the entire Weyl anomaly on the curved manifold. We show that such a cancellation is possible for constant Weyl transformation or infinitesimal but generic Weyl transformation in two and four dimensional conformal field theories with exactly marginal deformations. When the Weyl scaling factor is annihilated by conformal powers of Laplacian (e.g. by Fradkin-Tseytlin-Riegert-Paneitz operator in four dimensions), the cancellation persists even at the finite order thanks to a nice mathematical property of the $Q$-curvature under the Weyl transformation.

description: We introduce a new approach for analysing changes in electronic structure in the course of ab initio molecular dynamics simulations. The analysis is based on the time autocorrelation function of the many-body electronic wave-function. The approach facilitates the interpretation of dynamical events that may not be easily revealed by consideration of nuclear configurations alone. We apply the method to several illustrative examples: the shared proton vibration in the F−(H2O) complex, representing changes in strength of non-covalent interactions; proton transfer in the water dimer cation, as an example for chemical reactions in weakly bound systems; and the intramolecular proton transfer in malonaldehyde. In all cases, we observe distinct features in the time autocorrelation function when chemical changes occur. The autocorrelation function serves as an effective reaction coordinate, incorporating all degrees of freedom, including electronic ones. The method is also sensitive to changes in the electronic wave-function not accompanied by significant nuclear motions.

By reformulating the initial differential equation as an integral equation, with the use of an iterative procedure, an approximate solution of the nonlinear vibration equation can be obtained in any order of approximation. The iterative approximate solutions are compared with the exact numerical solution of the vibration equation.

Intimacy for Deconstruction: The Role of Female Relationships in Choreography
Creators: name: Gotter, Natalie E.
Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2019
Subjects: Dance

description: The questions posed in this research involve the physical socialization of the female body and how inhibitive socialization can be challenged. The female body in traditionally patriarchal societies has been socialized to take up less space than a male body, be focused on how the body appears instead of acts, and be inhibited from utilizing full physical capabilities when moving. I examine how the socialized body can be challenged through female friendships and creative spaces. For this research, I focused on dance as a creative and physical form that challenges the body. The dance space itself is a social space and dancers' bodies are constantly scrutinized by the audience, instructors, and the dancer herself. In shifting the focus for "successful" choreography from the gaze of the audience to the experience of the performer, the dance space becomes one of bodily autonomy and integrity, focused on action. In creating choreographic work for this research, I question what it means to utilize a feminist process when creating choreography. While the need to create a product may have created an imperfect feminist process, the creation of the product relied on knowledge from the performers' bodies and not from a hierarchical structure. In allowing the dancers to produce material from their bodily experiences, they were able to remove themselves from the implication that their bodies are not as worthy as their minds and recognize that their bodies hold just as much worth as their mental processes. The implication for this research is two-fold. First, social structures are constantly being questioned, just by allowing the female body to take up space and access complete physicality. In recognizing the importance of female relationships, we are socially validating the female bodily experience through those relationships. Second, the implications for the dance field are to continue to question feminist training in dance. What is the role of the choreographer? What is the role of the expert? How can creating dance be inclusive of all walks of life? Additionally, how do we, as choreographers, refrain from placing our bodily expectations, and potentially stereotypes, onto the bodies of our dancers?

description: The PIE series of D-peptide HIV entry inhibitors, PIE12-trimer and Chol-PIE12-trimer (CPT31), inhibit a wide range of HIV isolates with pM potency while also exhibiting a high barrier to resistance. Here, we show that HIV acquires a primary PIE12 resistance mutation (Q577R/N/K) in both in vitro and in vivo resistance models. Development of this resistance mutation comes at a significant fitness cost to the virus, but the virus also acquires a set of compensatory mutations that rescue this fitness defect. We also show that CPT31 is an effective therapeutic against SHIV infection in rhesus macaques in both treatment and preventative contexts. These data indicate that CPT31 is a promising clinical candidate and could provide a novel agent with a unique mechanism of action against HIV.

description: Stable isotope analysis of biological and geological materials has provided important information on environmental change over many timescales. Such records rely on an interpretive framework of large isotopic datasets of recent (i.e., modern and/or Holocene-aged) material in order to define paleoecological interpretations. This dissertation will contribute to a better understanding of ancient and historical ecological change in East Africa by (1) providing a modern interpretive framework for a megaherbivore, Hippopotamus amphibius, in East Africa and (2) investigating the relationship between climate and ecology in Kenya during the Holocene using multiproxy records, including stable isotopes of large mammalian herbivores and leaf wax biomarker isotopes. Although H. amphibius (hippo) tooth enamel isotopes are widely used to understand paleoenvironment, little is known about their dietary variability across time and space. In this dissertation, I present an extensive study on stable isotope serial samples (δ13C and δ18O) of modern hippos in order to understand the breadth of their dietary and behavioral flexibility in Kenya. This large dataset (10 mm interval samples of canine tooth enamel for 30 hippo canines; 1,410 samples in total) reveals the remarkable dietary diversity of hippos: they are indiscriminate feeders and can consume both C3 and C4 herbaceous forage. Furthermore, certain profiles with known death dates have captured isotopic indicators of ecological perturbations, such as drought and C3 plant encroachment following elephant extirpation. Multiproxy records of ecology can provide even more paleoecological information than single-mammal records. Assumptions about environmental change in the fossil record are often based on inference from known global climate and presumed changes in ecology. Using a multiproxy approach (tooth enamel isotopes and leaf wax biomarkers), I present Holocene (11.8 Kya - present) paleoecological data from two basins: the arid Turkana Basin in northern Kenya and the more mesic Victoria Basin in southwestern Kenya. These data indicate that as the monsoon was weakening due to global climatic change (i.e, Milankovitch forcing), there was an increase in C3 resources (bush, shrub, trees, and herbs) in Turkana, whereas Lake Victoria remained predominately C4 (tropical lowland grasses). This interbasinal record reveals that we cannot make assumptions about changes in ecology in an entire region based on climatological forcing mechanisms alone.

description: We present metal abundances in 15 damped Lyman alpha systems (DLAs) from the Complete Optical and Radio Absorption Line System (CORALS) survey, designed to be free from any biasing effects due to extinction of QSOs by dust in intervening absorbers. It has long been suggested that such biasing may explain differences in metallicity between DLAs and coeval luminous galaxies, and between model predictions and observations. We use our measured zinc and chromium abundances (combined with those for five more CORALS DLAs from the literature, giving us a very nearly complete sample) to test whether the metallicity and degree of dust depletion in CORALS DLAs are significantly different from those of existing, larger, samples of DLAs drawn from magnitude limited, optical surveys. We find that the column density weighted metallicity of CORALS DLAs, [] = -0.88 +/- 0.21 in the redshift interval 1.86 < z(abs) < 3.45, is only marginally higher than that of a control sample from the recent compilation by Kulkarni et al., [] = -1.09 +/- 0.10. With the present limited statistics this difference is not highly significant. Furthermore, we find no evidence for increased dust depletions in CORALS DLAs--their [Cr/Zn] ratios conform to the known trend of increasing depletion (decreasing [Cr/Zn]) with increasing metallicity, and we have encountered no cases where Cr is as depleted as in local cold interstellar clouds. These results, when combined with the earlier findings of the CORALS survey reported by Ellison et al. in 2001, make it difficult to invoke a dust-induced bias to explain the generally low level of chemical evolution exhibited by most DLAs. Rather, they indicate that large scale optical QSO surveys give a fair census of the population of high redshift absorbers.

Investigating the Role of Glycosaminoglycans in the Development and Production of Birdsong
Creators: name: Mencio, Caitlin Paige

description: Glycosaminoglycans are carboyhydrate side chains of proteoglycans that have a myriad of biological functions. In the brain, these molecules are implicated in everything from development to plasticity to disease. Two of the main types of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), heparan sulfate and chondroitin sulfate, have been implicated in both plasticity and learning; however, the exact role they play has remained unclear. One of the more interesting sensorimotor systems in the brain involves the learning and production of vocalizations. The goal of this work was to investigate the role GAGs play in two different aspects of this complex behavior, the neural control of vocal ontogeny and superfast muscle involvement in song production of zebra finch. In order to fully understand the role GAGs play in complex biological behaviors, such as vocalizations, it is imperative that the proper tools be synthesized, characterized, and produced for the study of these carbohydrates. Enzymes, specifically sulfated polymers and oligosaccharides, and small molecules provide unique opportunities to examine the role of GAGs. The use of enzymes in the song-specific nucleus, HVC, allowed the validation of the functionality of these enzymes in the model system of interest. Changes in stereotyped song were observed showing that GAG modulation could lead to alteration of a learned behavior. After this confirmation that GAGs were present and involved in song, small molecules called xylosides were used to examine the role of chondroitin sulfate iv biosynthesis during vocal ontogeny. Infusion of xyloside into RA (robust nucleus of the arcopallium), a nucleus important for vocal ontogeny, led to a change in the development of song. This implies that regulated biosynthesis of chondroitin sulfate during the critical period for vocal ontogeny is important. Lastly, the role of superfast syringeal muscles in song production was examined. Heparan sulfate degradation in these muscles alters the ability of the syrinx to modulate airflow. This change in muscle kinetics was correlated with significant, but temporary, differences in acoustic structure and frequency modulation while long-term differences showed aberrant syllable production.
Direct Limits on the Bs Oscillation Frequency

description: We report results of a study of the Bs oscillation frequency using a large sample of Bs semileptonic decays corresponding to approximately 1 fb-1 of integrated luminosity collected by the D0 experiment at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider in 2002-2006. The amplitude method gives a lower limit on the Bs oscillation frequency at 14.8 ps-1 at the 95% C.L. At Δm_s = 19 ps-1, the amplitude deviates from the hypothesis A=0 (A=1) by 2.5 (1.6) standard deviations, corresponding to a two-sided C.L. of 1% (10%). A likelihood scan over the oscillation frequency, Δm_s, gives a most probable value of 19 ps-1 and a range of 17 < Δm_s < 21 ps-1 at the 90% C.L., assuming Gaussian uncertainties. This is the first direct two-sided bound measured by a single experiment. If Δm_s lies above 22 ps-1, then the probability that it would produce a likelihood minimum similar to the one observed in the interval 16 < Δm_s < 22 ps-1 is (5.0+-0.3)%.

Investigating Pediatric Cancer Risk Utilizing the Utah Population Database
Creators: name: Burningham, Zachary Robert
Publisher: name: University of Utah

description: Prenatal and early childhood exposures are potential risk factors for childhood cancers. Previous studies that have assessed these factors have relied on self-reports or are characterized by inconsistent findings. In addition, the available epidemiologic research investigating the association between childhood cancer and infections is sparse. The purpose of this dissertation was to investigate prenatal, maternal, birth, and parental birth factors that may be associated with childhood cancers using the Utah Population Database (UPDB). Furthermore, this dissertation also examined the potential relationship between infections and childhood leukemia, lymphoma, and central nervous system (CNS) tumors. A population-based case-control study design was utilized in investigating these relationships. Large-for-gestational age (LGA) birth weight was associated with an increased risk for childhood lymphoma (OR=1.59, 95%CI: 1.08 - 2.33). An overall dose response was observed between birth weight-for-gestational age (BWGA) and childhood CNS cancer risk (p=0.020). High birth weight newborns and childhood CNS cancer risk were associated with high birth weight parents (OR=3.11, 95% CI 1.02 - 9.55). Additionally, an overall dose response was observed between maternal BWGA and childhood CNS cancer risk (p=0.048). The risk of childhood lymphoma was associated with the following infection-related diagnosis groups: acute respiratory infections (OR=2.15, 95% CI: 1.39 - 3.31), pneumonia or influenza (OR=2.61, 95% CI: 1.10 - 6.18), and sweating iv fever (OR=3.56, 95% CI: 1.66 - 7.66). Dose response relationships were also observed between the number of infections and childhood lymphoma risk, including viral or respiratory disease (p=0.014). Furthermore, the risk of childhood lymphoma associated with sweating fever further increased in magnitude when limiting diagnoses to those that occurred within the first year of life (OR 6.53, 95% CI: 1.45 - 29.53). Having a tonsillectomy or adenoidectomy was associated with an increase in the risk of childhood leukemia (OR=2.57, 95% CI: 1.33 - 4.61). Finally, individuals who had undergone a myringotomy or tympanostomy were at a greater risk for childhood lymphoma (OR=3.90, 95% CI: 1.26 - 12.05). Our findings suggest that the prenatal growth environment and repeated exposure to common infections, particularly early in life, may play an important role in the etiology of childhood cancers.

Simulation of interaction Hamiltonians by quantum feedback: a comment on the dynamics of information exchange between coupled systems
Creators: name: Hofmann, Holger F.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2005
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Since quantum feedback is based on classically accessible measurement results, it can provide fundamental insights into the dynamics of quantum systems by making available classical information on the evolution of system properties and on the conditional forces acting on the system. In this paper, the feedback-induced interaction dynamics between a pair of quantum systems is analyzed. It is pointed out that any interaction Hamiltonian can be simulated by local feedback if the levels of decoherence are sufficiently high. The boundary between genuine entanglement generating quantum interactions and non-entangling classical interactions is identified and the nature of the information exchange between two quantum systems during an interaction is discussed.

Gravitational waves from remnants of ultraluminous X-ray sources

description: Ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs) with X-ray luminosities larger than the Eddington luminosity of stellar mass objects may be powered by intermediate mass black holes (IBHs) of masses Mbh~10^3Msun. If IBHs form in young dense stellar clusters, they can be fed by Roche lobe overflow from a tidally captured massive (Ms>10Msun) stellar companion. After the donor leaves the main sequence it forms a compact remnant, which spirals in due to gravitational wave (GW) emission. We show that space based detectors such as the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna are likely to detect several of these sources. GW sources stemming from this scenario have small eccentricities which give distinct GW signals. Detection of such a GW signal will unambiguously prove the existence of IBHs, and support the hypothesis that some ULXs are powered by IBHs with captured companions.

description: Using e+e- collisions recorded at the psi(3770) resonance with the CLEO-c detector at the Cornell Electron Storage Ring, we determine absolute hadronic branching fractions of charged and neutral D mesons. Among measurements for both Cabibbo-favored and Cabibbo-suppressed modes, we obtain reference branching fractions B(D0 -> K-pi+)=(3.91 +- 0.08 +- 0.09)% and B(D+ -> K-pi+pi+)=(9.5 +- 0.2 +- 0.3)%, where the uncertainties are statistical and systematic, respectively. Using a determination of the integrated luminosity, we also extract the e+e- -> DDbar cross sections.

subject: Historical studies not elsewhere classified

description: This thesis explores appeals to the past in sovereignty disputes in Wales, Scotland, and England during Edward I of England’s reign (1272–1307). It argues that elites appealed to history to negotiate these polities’ relationships to the past and project a particular dynamic between and within the polities in the present. Britain’s elites used the past to foster senses of national and political identity, construct nations and polities, and legitimate rulers. They contended that a valid connection between past and present was a fundamental requirement for the existence of sovereignty and the ability of someone to be sovereign.
