description: We suggest a new definition for discrete minimal surfaces in terms of sphere packings with orthogonally intersecting circles. These discrete minimal surfaces can be constructed from Schramm's circle patterns. We present a variational principle which allows us to construct discrete analogues of some classical minimal surfaces. The data used for the construction are purely combinatorial--the combinatorics of the curvature line pattern. A Weierstrass-type representation and an associated family are derived. We show the convergence to continuous minimal surfaces.

description: We study experimentally the line of a single vortex in a rotating prolate Bose-Einstein condensate confined in a harmonic potential. In agreement with predictions, we find that the vortex line is in most cases curved at the ends. We also present measurements of the quadrupole oscillation of the condensate in presence of a single vortex. A theoretical treatment to account for the short time and long time behaviors of these modes is developed. Finally, we use these measurements to infer the angular momentum per particle and relate it to the shape of the vortex line.

description: The fractional calculus is useful to model non-local phenomena. We construct a method to evaluate the fractional Caputo derivative by means of a simple explicit quadratic segmentary interpolation. This method yields to numerical resolution of ordinary fractional differential equations. Due to the non-locality of the fractional derivative, we may establish an equivalence between fractional oscillators and ordinary oscillators with a dissipative term.

description: Classical simulation of quantum computers will continue to play an essential role in the progress of quantum information science, both for numerical studies of quantum algorithms and for modeling noise and errors. Here we introduce the latest release of Intel Quantum Simulator (IQS), formerly known as qHiPSTER. The high-performance computing (HPC) capability of the software allows users to leverage the available hardware resources provided by supercomputers, as well as available public cloud computing infrastructure. To take advantage of the latter platform, together with the distributed simulation of each separate quantum state, IQS allows to subdivide the computational resources to simulate a pool of related circuits in parallel. We highlight the technical implementation of the distributed algorithm and details about the new pool functionality. We also include some basic benchmarks (up to 42 qubits) and performance results obtained using HPC infrastructure. Finally, we use IQS to emulate a scenario in which many quantum devices are running in parallel to implement the quantum approximate optimization algorithm, using particle swarm optimization as the classical subroutine. The results demonstrate that the hyperparameters of this classical optimization algorithm depends on the total number of quantum circuit simulations one has the bandwidth to perform. Intel Quantum Simulator has been released open-source with permissive licensing and is designed to simulate a large number of qubits, to emulate multiple quantum devices running in parallel, and/or to study the effects of decoherence and other hardware errors on calculation results.

description: The second domain of gelsolin (G2) hosts mutations responsible for a hereditary form of amyloidosis. The active form of gelsolin is Ca2+-bound; it is also a dynamic protein, hence structural biologists often rely on the study of the isolated G2. However, the wild type G2 structure that have been used so far in comparative studies is bound to a crystallographic Cd2+, in lieu of the physiological calcium. Here, we report the wild type structure of G2 in complex with Ca2+ highlighting subtle ion-dependent differences. Previous findings on different G2 mutations are also briefly revised in light of these results.

description: Biogas recovery systems collect methane from manure and burn it to generate electricity or heat. Burning methane reduces its global warming potential, thereby reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Climate change mitigation policies that eff ectively put a price on GHG emissions could allow livestock producers to “sell” these reductions to other greenhouse gas emitters who face emissions caps or who voluntarily wish to off set their own emissions. Depending on the direction and scope of future climate change legislation, income from carbon off set sales could make methane digesters profi table for many livestock producers. By modeling the main determinants of producers’ decisions to adopt biogas recovery systems, we illustrate how the price of carbon infl uences this decision and the potential supply of carbon off sets from the livestock sector.

description: The presence of ultra-high energy cosmic rays in the universe in the pre-ionization epoch enhances significantly H$_2$ kinetics in virialized halos. It results in more efficient radiative cooling and decreases the lower mass limit of the first star-forming systems. Consequently, the fraction of baryons contained in the first luminous objects and their contribution to the reionization of the universe can significantly increase in comparison with the standard scenario.

description: The Friedmann equation is derived for a Newtonian universe. Changing mass density to energy density gives exactly the Friedmann equation of general relativity. Accounting for work done by pressure then yields the two Einstein equations that govern the expansion of the universe. Descriptions and explanations of radiation pressure and vacuum pressure are added to complete a basic kit of cosmology tools. It provides a basis for teaching cosmology to undergraduates in a way that quickly equips them to do basic calculations. This is demonstrated with calculations involving: characteristics of the expansion for densities dominated by radiation, matter, or vacuum; the closeness of the density to the critical density; how much vacuum energy compared to matter energy is needed to make the expansion accelerate; and how little is needed to make it stop. Travel time and luninosity distance are calculated in terms of the redshift and the densities of matter and vacuum energy, using a scaled Friedmann equation with the constant in the curvature term determined by matching with the present values of the Hubble parameter and energy density. General relativity is needed only for the luminosity distance, to describe how the curvature of space, determined by the energy density, can change the intensity of light by changing the area of the sphere to which the light has spread. Thirty-one problems are included.

description: We examine the effect of non-equilibrium processes modeled by the introduction of a generalized Boltzmann factor on the thermal and magnetic properties of an array of two-dimensional GaAs quantum dots in the presence of an external uniform and constant magnetic field. The model consists of a single-electron subject to a confining Gaussian potential with a spin-orbit interaction in the Rashba approach. We compute the specific heat and the magnetic susceptibility within the formalism of $χ^2$-superstatistics from the exact solution of the Schrödinger equation. Furthermore, an analytic solution for the partition function allows a study of the impact of the number of subsystems on the superstatistical corrections and confirms that the ordinary thermo-magnetic properties are recovered whenever the thermal distribution can be approximated by a Dirac delta. Also, we found a progressive disappearance of the Schottky anomaly with decreasing number of subsystems, while the specific heat ceases to be a monotonically increasing function with respect to the average temperature when the $χ^2$-distribution is spread over a large range of temperatures. Remarkably, the introduction of fluctuations in the temperature is found to suppress the paramagnetic phase transition that would otherwise appear at low temperatures. Finally, we emphasize that an appropriate construction of the definition of physical observables is crucial for obtaining a correct description of the physics derived from a non-extensive construction of the entropy.

description: The development of graphene (Gr) spintronics requires the ability to engineer epitaxial Gr heterostructures with interfaces of high quality, in which the intrinsic properties of Gr are modified through proximity with a ferromagnet to allow for efficient room temperature spin manipulation or the stabilization of new magnetic textures. These heterostructures can be prepared in a controlled way by intercalation through graphene of different metals. Using photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM), we achieve a nanoscale control of thermal activated intercalation of homogeneous ferromagnetic (FM) layer underneath epitaxial Gr grown onto (111)-oriented heavy metal (HM) buffers deposited in turn onto insulating oxide surfaces. XPS and STM demonstrate that Co atoms evaporated on top of Gr arrange in 3D clusters, and, upon thermal annealing, penetrate through and diffuse below Gr in a 2D fashion. The complete intercalation of the metal occurs at specific temperatures depending on the type of metallic buffer. The activation energy and the optimum temperature for the intercalation processes are determined. We describe a reliable method to fabricate and characterize in-situ high quality Gr-FM/HM heterostructures enabling the realization of novel spin-orbitronic devices that exploits the extraordinary properties of Gr.

title: Intention-Behavior Discrepancies for Alcohol Consumption Among College Students
Creators: name: Junkin, Emily Kaye
Publisher: name: Old Dominion University Libraries
Year: 2021

description: Unplanned drinkers may experience elevated risk for drinking-related harm. Research examining unplanned drinking focuses on the unplanned nature of a drinking episode (i.e., did the student drink when no drinking was planned), yet this does not capture the importance of the unintended quantity consumed. For instance, a discrepancy between drinking intentions and actual consumption has the potential to differentially impact alcohol-related outcomes beyond what is accounted for by unplanned drinking episodes. Further, research has not investigated how college students’ unintended drinking is associated with alcohol-related consequences. Moreover, utilization of protective behavioral strategies (PBS) has been shown to decrease negative outcomes and is theorized to explain the disproportionate consequences experienced by unplanned versus planned drinkers, yet PBS have not been evaluated within the drinking discrepancy literature. Thus, the present study utilized data from a typical drinking occasion to (1) describe the occurrence of intention-inconsistent drinking, (2) determine the association between discrepancies and consequences, (3) and evaluate the impact of unplanned drinking, PBS use, and their combined effects on this relationship. Additionally, we (4) assessed the influence of social factors (i.e., active and passive peer influence) on quantity discrepancies. Participants were 44 (28 females; Mage = 21.91) heavy drinking college students who completed two surveys (one pre-weekend and post-weekend) on their drinking behaviors for Friday and Saturday. Results indicated that the majority of drinking episodes were not consistent with participants’ intended quantities, and drinking less than intended occurred most prevalently. Additionally, among planned drinkers with low PBS, larger discrepancies associated with lower alcohol-related consequences. Finally, social factors did not significantly predict discrepancy size. Overall, this study was among the first to assess discrepancy statistics for U.S. college students on typical drinking events. Additionally, we were the first to utilize discrepancy statistics as unique predictors of consequences, and our findings shed light on the influence of unintended drinking for a subset of drinkers. However, the present study’s analyses were severely influenced by low sample size and COVID-19-related factors, and results should be interpreted with caution. Additional research with adequate power is needed to replicate the present study under conditions outside of COVID-19.

description: We show that carbon nanotube transistors exhibit scaling that is qualitatively different than conventional transistors. The performance depends in an unexpected way on both the thickness and the dielectric constant of the gate oxide. Experimental measurements and theoretical calculations provide a consistent understanding of the scaling, which reflects the very different device physics of a Schottky barrier transistor with a quasi-one-dimensional channel contacting a sharp edge. A simple analytic model gives explicit scaling expressions for key device parameters such as subthreshold slope, turn-on voltage, and transconductance.

description: The suitability of a newly developed cell-based functional assay was tested for the detection of the activity of a range of neurotoxins and neuroactive pharmaceuticals which act by stimulation or inhibition of calcium-dependent neurotransmitter release. In this functional assay, a reporter enzyme is released concomitantly with the neurotransmitter from neurosecretory vesicles. The current study showed that the release of a luciferase from a differentiated human neuroblastoma-based reporter cell line (SIMA-hPOMC1-26-GLuc cells) can be stimulated by a carbachol-mediated activation of the Gq-coupled muscarinic-acetylcholine receptor and by the Ca2+-channel forming spider toxin α-latrotoxin. Carbachol-stimulated luciferase release was completely inhibited by the muscarinic acetylcholine receptor antagonist atropine and α-latrotoxin-mediated release by the Ca2+-chelator EGTA, demonstrating the specificity of luciferase-release stimulation. SIMA-hPOMC1-26-GLuc cells express mainly L- and N-type and to a lesser extent T-type VGCC on the mRNA and protein level. In accordance with the expression profile a depolarization-stimulated luciferase release by a high K+-buffer was effectively and dose-dependently inhibited by L-type VGCC inhibitors and to a lesser extent by N-type and T-type inhibitors. P/Q- and R-type inhibitors did not affect the K+-stimulated luciferase release. In summary, the newly established cell-based assay may represent a versatile tool to analyze the biological efficiency of a range of neurotoxins and neuroactive pharmaceuticals which mediate their activity by the modulation of calcium-dependent neurotransmitter release.

description: For systems which contain both superselection structure and constraints, we study compatibility between constraining and superselection. Specifically, we start with a generalisation of Doplicher-Roberts superselection theory to the case of nontrivial centre, and a set of Dirac quantum constraints and find conditions under which the superselection structures will survive constraining in some form. This involves an analysis of the restriction and factorisation of superselection structures. We develop an example for this theory, modelled on interacting QED.

Structural Distortion Stabilizing the Antiferromagnetic and Semiconducting Ground State of NiO

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Strongly Correlated Electrons (cond-mat.str-el)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We report evidence that the experimentally observed small deformation of antiferromagnetic NiO modifies the symmetry of the crystal in such a way that the antiferromagnetic state becomes an eigenstate of the electronic Hamiltonian. This deformation closely resembles a rhombohedral contraction, but does not possess the perfect symmetry of a trigonal (rhombohedral) space group. We determine the monoclinic base-centered magnetic space group of the antiferromagnetic structure within the deformed crystal which is strongly influenced by the time-inversion symmetry of the Hamiltonian. The antiferromagnetic state is evidently stabilized by a nonadiabatic atomic-like motion of the electrons near the Fermi level. This atomic-like motion is characterized by the symmetry of the Bloch functions near the Fermi level and provides in NiO a perfect basis for a Mott insulator.

description: We consider a quench in a free-fermion chain by joining two homogeneous half-chains via a defect. The time evolution of the entanglement negativity is studied between adjacent segments surrounding the defect. In case of equal initial fillings, the negativity grows logarithmically in time and essentially equals one-half of the Rényi mutual information with index $α= 1/2$ in the limit of large segments. In sharp contrast, in the biased case one finds a linear increase followed by the saturation at an extensive value for both quantities, which is due to the backscattering from the defect and can be reproduced in a quasiparticle picture. Furthermore, a closer inspection of the subleading corrections reveals that the negativity and the mutual information have a small but finite difference in the steady state. Finally, we also study a similar quench in the XXZ spin chain via density-matrix renormalization group methods and compare the results for the negativity to the fermionic case.

description: We present Hubble Space Telescope (HST) Near-Infrared Camera and Multiobject Spectrometer (NICMOS) observations as evidence that continuous star formation has created much of the central stellar cusp of the Galaxy. The data are the deepest ever obtained for a Galactic Center (GC) population, being $>$50% complete for \mnk$<19.3$, or initial stellar masses $\gtrsim$2 \Msun. We use Geneva and Padova stellar evolution models to produce synthetic luminosity functions for burst and continuous star formation scenarios, finding that the observations are fit best by continuous star formation at a rate that is consistent with the recent star formation activity that produced the three massive young clusters in the central 50 \pc. Further, it is not possible to fit the observations with ancient burst models, such as would be appropriate for an old population like that in Baade's Window or NGC6528.

description: Cosmological models describing the non-gravitational interaction between dark matter and dark energy are based on some phenomenological choices of the interaction rates between dark matter and dark energy. There is no such guiding rule to select such rates of interaction. {\it In the present work we show that various phenomenological models of the interaction rates might have a strong field theoretical ground.} We explicitly derive several well known interaction functions between dark matter and dark energy under some special conditions and finally constrain them using the latest cosmic microwave background observations from final Planck legacy release together with baryon acoustic oscillations distance measurements. Our analyses report that one of the interacting functions is able to alleviate the $H_0$ tension. We also perform a Bayesian evidence analyses for all the models with reference to the $Λ$CDM model. From the Bayesian evidence analyses, although the reference scenario is preferred over the interacting scenarios, however, we found that two interacting models are close to the reference $Λ$CDM model.

The targum (1955:Mar. 1 - 1955:Mar. 31)
Creators: name: No Name Supplied
Publisher: name: Targum Association
Year: 1955

description: Some University historians indicate that the Targum was first published as an annual in 1867, but of this we have no extant evidence. In January 1869, the Targum as we now know it, made its appearance as a monthly paper that concerned itself with student “literary contributions” and college news as well as serving as a vehicle for bringing news to alumni and the general public. The newspaper, which originally was for sale, varied in frequency over the years as did its title (The Targum, Rutgers Targum, Rutgers Daily Targum, and Daily Targum). The newspaper has continuously been published since 1869 with the exception of 19 months during the second world war, between February 1944 and October 1945. The Targum was published by the students of Rutgers College, and later Rutgers University—New Brunswick represented through the years as the Targum Association, Rutgers Targum Association, and Rutgers College Targum. As a student organization, the Targum operated under the oversight of the dean of students and student government but in October 1980, the Targum became an independent college paper.

description: FALCON is an original concept for a next generation spectrograph at ESO VLT or at future ELTs. It is a spectrograph including multiple small integral field units (IFUs) which can be deployed within a large field of view such as that of VLT/GIRAFFE. In FALCON, each IFU features an adaptive optics correction using off-axis natural reference stars in order to combine, in the 0.8-1.8 μm wavelength range, spatial and spectral resolutions (0.1-0.15 arcsec and R=10000+/-5000). These conditions are ideally suited for distant galaxy studies, which should be done within fields of view larger than the galaxy clustering scales (4-9 Mpc), i.e. foV > 100 arcmin2. Instead of compensating the whole field, the adaptive correction will be performed locally on each IFU. This implies to use small miniaturized devices both for adaptive optics correction and wavefront sensing. Applications to high latitude fields imply to use atmospheric tomography because the stars required for wavefront sensing will be in most of the cases far outside the isoplanatic patch.

description: We investigate critical phenomena of the Yang-Mills (YM) type one-dimensional matrix model that is a large-$N$ reduction (or dimensional reduction) of the $D+1$ dimensional $U(N)$ pure YM theory (bosonic BFSS model). This model shows a large-$N$ phase transition at finite temperature, which is analogous to the confinement/deconfinement transition of the original YM theory. We study the matrix model at a three-loop calculation via the "principle of minimum sensitivity" and find that there is a critical dimension $D=35.5$: At $D \le 35$, the transition is of first order, while it is of second order at $D\ge 36$. Furthermore, we evaluate several observables in our method, and they nicely reproduce the existing Monte Carlo results. Through the gauge/gravity correspondence, the transition is expected to be related to a Gregory-Laflamme transition in gravity, and we argue that the existence of the critical dimension is qualitatively consistent with it. Besides, in the first order transition case, a stable phase having negative specific heat appears in the microcanonical ensemble, which is similar to Schwarzschild black holes. We study some properties of this phase.

description: We investigate the compositional dependence of the total energy of the mixed crystals (Ga,Mn)As co-doped with As, Sn, and Zn. Using the ab initio LMTO-CPA method we find a correlation between the incorporation of acceptors (Mn, Zn) and donors (Sn, antisite As). In particular, the formation energy of As_Ga is reduced by approx. 0.1 eV in the presence of Mn, and vice versa. This leads to the self-compensating behavior of (Ga,Mn)As.

description: The data on the distribution of direct government payments challenges the prevailing belief that little needs to be done in revising the commodity programs for the 1990 farm bill. At least, if the objective of the commodity programs is to support incomes of disadvantaged low income farm businesses it is likely to continue to miss the mark based on recent experience. In 1987 more than 40 percent of direct government payments to farm operators went to 60,000 farmers who averaged more than $75,000 In payments, almost $100,000 in net cash farm incomes and more than $750,000 in net farm worth.

description: We investigate the origin of the transition inside the desynchronization state via phase jumps in coupled chaotic oscillators. We claim that the transition is governed by type-I intermittency in the presence of noise whose characteristic relation is $ \propto \exp(α|ε_t -ε|^{3/2})$ for $ε_t -ε<0$ and $ \propto (ε_t -ε)^{-1/2}$ for $ε_t -ε>0$, where $$ is the average length of the phase locking state and $ε$ is the coupling strength. To justify our claim we obtain analytically the tangent point, the bifurcation point, and the return map which agree well with those of the numerical simulations.

Constraints in the circumstellar density distribution of massive Young Stellar Objects

description: We use a Monte Carlo code to generate synthetic near-IR reflection nebulae that resemble those (normally associated with a bipolar outflow cavity) seen towards massive young stellar objects (YSOs). The 2D axi-symmetric calculations use an analytic expression for a flattened infalling rotating envelope with a bipolar cavity representing an outflow. We are interested in which aspects of the circumstellar density distribution can be constrained by servations of these reflection nebulae. We therefore keep the line of sight optical depth constant in the model grid, as this is often constrained independently by observations. It is found that envelopes with density distributions corresponding to mass infall rates of ~ 1E-4 M_sun/yr (for an envelope radius of 4700 AU) seen at an inclination angle of ~ 45 deg approximately reproduce the morphology and extension of the sub-arcsecond nebulae observed in massive YSOs. Based on the flux ratio between the approaching and receding lobe of the nebula, we can constrain the system inclination angle. The cavity opening angle is well constrained from the nebula opening angle. Our simulations indicate that to constrain the outflow cavity shape and the degree of flattening in the envelope, near-IR imaging with higher resolution and dynamic range than speckle imaging in 4m-class telescopes is needed. The radiative transfer code is also used to simulate the near-IR sub-arcsecond nebula seen in Mon R2 IRS3. We find indications of a shallower opacity law in this massive YSO than in the interstellar medium, or possibly a sharp drop in the envelope density distribution at distances of ~ 1000 AU from the illuminating source.

Manifestation of additional dimensions of space-time in mesoscopic systems

description: We note that the existence of physical states which are coherent superpositions of states with even and odd numbers of fermions means the existence, together with x,y,z,t, of additional spinor dimensions of space-time. A system with variable number of electrons is described in which such superpositions are realized. Experiments with mesoscopic condensed matter systems are suggested which generalize the experiment of Nakamura et al. and may provide direct observation of such superpositions and, thereby, justify the reality of a superspace with additional spinor dimensions introduced in quantum field theory to account for supersymmetry. The nature of additional dimensions of space-time is elucidated for nonrelativistic systems.

The relation of physics teachers’ content knowledge for teaching energy and teaching practice as measured by the quality and demand of the assignments and assessments they design and select for instruction
Creators: name: Zisk, Robert
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2021

description: The construct of Content Knowledge for Teaching (CKT) specifies that teachers possess knowledge that is specific to the content area that they teach, that enables them to carry out tasks of teaching to help their students learn. As such, a teacher’s CKT should be related to all aspects of their practice. This dissertation investigates the relationship between high school physics teachers’ content knowledge for teaching energy (CKT-E) and the quality and demand of the assignments and assessments they design and select to use during their energy unit. The first paper in this dissertation explores the relationship between teachers’ CKT-E and the quality and demand of the assignments and assessments they use during instruction. This paper describes the development of a protocol to assess the quality and demand of assignments and assessments in physics and lays out the validity argument for using scores produced by that protocol to measure quality and demand. Additionally, this paper provides evidence that teachers with more robust CKT-E use assignments and assessments that are of higher quality and demand than those with less robust CKT-E. The second paper in this dissertation focuses specifically on the learning targets that physics teachers address in their instructional goals and on their end of unit assessment, and the relationship of the learning targets addressed to their CKT-E. This paper provides evidence that while all teachers tend to address the same breadth of learning targets regardless of CKT-E, teachers with more robust CKT-E tend to address learning targets at a deeper level than those with less robust CKT-E.The final paper in this dissertation describes four case studies that further investigate the relationship between CKT-E and classroom practice. This paper explores the coherence between teachers’ CKT-E, goals for instruction, classroom practice, assignment and assessments and student outcomes. This paper supports the findings of the first two papers in this dissertation by describing how there is generally coherence between CKT-E and all aspects of teaching practice and explains any discrepancies through teacher’s orientation towards teaching and teacher’s robust curricular knowledge in lieu of strong CKT-E.

description: Retiring land from crop production under the Conservation Reserve Program is expensive and often unnecessary. Instead, more emphasis should be placed on providing incentives for farmers to reduce erosion by adopting better cropping practices. This would cost less than current programs and allow more land to be enrolled, thereby conserving as much or more soil.
