description: A dilute polymer solution is modeled as a suspension of non-interacting Hookean dumbbells and the effect of excluded volume is taken into account by incorporating a narrow Gaussian repulsive potential between the beads of each dumbbell. The narrow Gaussian potential is a means of regularising a delta-function potential---it tends to the delta-function potential in the limit of the width parameter going to zero. Exact predictions of viscometric functions in simple shear flow are obtained with the help of a retarded motion expansion and by Brownian dynamics simulations. It is shown that for relatively small non-zero values of the width parameter, the presence of excluded volume causes a swelling of the dumbbell at equilibrium, and shear thinning in simple shear flow. On the other hand, a delta function excluded volume potential does not lead to either swelling or to shear thinning. Approximate viscometric functions, obtained by assuming that the bead-connector vector is described by a Gaussian non-equilibrium distribution function, are found to be accurate above a threshold value of the width parameter, for a given value of the strength of excluded volume interaction. A first order perturbation expansion reveals that the Gaussian approximation is exact to first order in the strength of excluded volume interaction. The predictions of an alternative quadratic excluded volume potential suggested earlier by Fixman (J. Chem. Phys., 1966, 45, 785; 793) are also compared with those of the narrow Gaussian potential.

description: The central question in this explorative research was if vitality has increased after completing a coaching program and whether or not the relationship coach-coachee and the setting in which the coaching took place (face-to-face vs. by phone) relates to coaching effectiveness. Using online questionnaires, 329 participants (female = 179, age 20 to 64) where tested on vitality before and after the coaching program, and tested on goal achievement and the relationship coach-coachee from the perspective of the coachee after completing the program. Vitality turned out to be significantly larger after completing the program than at the start (t(328) = - 15.51, p < .001). The relationship coach-coachee turned out to be a predictor for goal achievement (p <.001, two-tailed). The setting in which the coaching took place did not significantly influence the increase in vitality (t(324) = - 0.68, p = .496) and goal achievement (t(324) = - 1.07, p = .285). It is advised that future research should focus on testing the relation between coaching and vitality further by using randomized controlled trials. Furthermore, it is recommended to investigate the relationship between coach and coachee, and especially how this alliance evolves during the coaching program and how this evolvement relates to coaching effectiveness.

description: The amputee’s well-being and mobility are distinclty related to socket fit and resulting biomechanical interaction between residual limb and prosthetic socket. Understanding the dynamic interactions at the interface may lead to new socket standards. This paper introduces a physically-motivated reduced model of the interface, describing the dynamic interactions between residual limb and prosthetic socket. The model allows to investigate the sensitivity to changes of specific parameters in an isolated matter. A simulation study shows how stress distribution changes if friction coefficients are varied which might advance liner design.

description: Inflationary cosmology predicts that the particle horizon should be generically much bigger than the present-day Hubble radius, $1/H_0$. This implies a special regime of super-Hubble scale energy density fluctuations imprinted on the cosmic microwave background radiation (CMBR), which from present theory could only be explained by inflation Causality constraints are used to determine models for the power spectrum that accommodate a suppression scale. A three parameter likelihood analysis is performed of the COBE-DMR 4-year data with respect to the amplitude, spectral index, and suppression scale. It is found that all suppression length scales larger than $1/H_0$ are consistent with the data, but that scales of order $1/H_0$ are slightly preferred, at roughly the one-sigma level. Many non-inflation models would be consistent with a small suppression length scale, whereas for standard inflation models, the duration of the inflation epoch would have to be bounded by a fairly small upper limit. Suppression scales smaller than $1/H_0$ are strongly excluded by the anisotrophy data.

description: We address quantum state engineering of single- and two-mode states by means of non-deterministic noiseless linear amplifiers (NLAs) acting on Gaussian states. In particular, we show that NLAs provide an effective scheme to generate highly non-Gaussian and non-classical states. Additionally, we show that the amplification of a two-mode squeezed vacuum state (twin-beam) may highly increase entanglement.

description: Using Monte Carlo simulations, we show that for a certain model of biological evolution, which is driven by non-extremal dynamics, active and absorbing phases are separated by a critical phase. In this phase both the density of active sites $ρ(t)$ and the survival probability of spreading $P(t)$ decay as $t^{-δ}$, where $δ\sim 0.5$. At the critical point, which separates the active and critical phases, $δ\sim 0.29$, which suggests that this point belongs to the so-called parity-conserving universality class. The model has infinitely many absorbing states and, except for a single point, has no conservation law.

description: The unsteady lift response of an airfoil in a sinusoidal gust can be modeled by two transfer functions: the first-order Sears function and the second-order Atassi function, albeit leading to different results under certain conditions. Previous studies have shown that the Sears function holds in experiments, but recently Cordes et al. (2017) reported experimental data that corresponded to the Atassi function rather than the Sears function. In order to clarify the observed discrepancy, the specific differences between these models are isolated analytically in this study and are related to physical gust parameters. Gusts with these parameters are then produced in wind-tunnel experiments using an active-grid gust generator. Measurements of the unsteady gust loads on an airfoil in the wind tunnel at Reynolds numbers ($Re_c$) of $2.0\times 10^5$ and $2.6\times 10^5$ and reduced frequencies between 0.09 and 0.42 confirm that the decisive difference between the Sears and Atassi functions lies in the character of the gust and not in the characteristics of the airfoil. The differences in the gust-response data between Sears and Atassi gust conditions are shown to be significant only at low reduced frequencies. These findings are supported by numerical simulations of the experimental setup. Finally, the influence of boundary-layer turbulence on experimental convergence with model predictions is investigated. These results serve to clarify the conditions under which the Sears and Atassi functions can be applied, and they establish the validity of both in an experimental context.

description: After operations at the LHC and e^+e^- Linear Colliders it may be found that a Standard-Model-like scenario is realized. In this scenario no new particle will be discovered, except a single Higgs boson having partial widths or coupling constants squared with fundamental particles close, within anticipated experimental uncertainty, to those of the SM. Experiments at a Photon Collider can resolve whether the SM model or e.g. the Two Higgs Doublet Model is realized in Nature. For the SM-like version of the 2HDM (II) we study the loop couplings of the Higgs boson with γγand Z γ, and also with gluons. The deviation of the two-photon width from its SM value is generally higher than the expected inaccuracy in the measurement of Γ_{γγ} at a Photon Collider. The result is sensitive to the parameters of the Higgs self interaction.

description: We investigate a system of dense polyelectrolytes in solution. The Langevin dynamics of the system with linearized hydrodynamics is formulated in the functional integral formalism and a transformation made to collective coordinates. Within a dynamical Random Phase Approximation (RPA) integration over the counter- and salt ions produces the Debye-Hückel-like screening of the Coulomb interactions with dependence on the frequency only as part of a more complicated coupling structure. We investigate the dynamics of the structure factor as well as the collective diffusion coefficient and comment upon the viscosity of the whole system of polymers with counterions and fluid in the simplest approximation. The coupling of the various components of the system produces nontrivial diffusive behavior. We draw conclusions about the relationship of the three length scales in the present system, i.e. the static screening length, the hydrodynamic screening length and the Debye length.

description: We study the rotational properties of a Bose-Einstein condensate confined in a rotating harmonic trap for different trap anisotropies. Using simple arguments, we derive expressions for the velocity field of the quantum fluid for condensates with or without vortices. While the condensed gas describes open spiraling trajectories, on the frame of reference of the rotating trap the motion of the fluid is against the trap rotation. We also find explicit formulae for the angular momentum and a linear and Thomas-Fermi solutions for the state without vortices. In these two limits we also find an analytic relation between the shape of the cloud and the rotation speed. The predictions are supported by numerical simulations of the mean field Gross-Pitaevskii model.

description: The highly sensitive, phase- and frequency-resolved detection of microwave electric fields is of central importance for diverse fields ranging from astronomy, remote sensing, communication and microwave quantum technology. However, present quantum sensing of microwave electric fields primarily relies on atom-based electrometers only enabling amplitude measurement. Moreover, the best sensitivity of atom-based electrometers is limited by photon shot noise to few $μ$Vcm$^{-1}$Hz$^{-1/2}$: While going beyond is in principle possible by using squeezed light or Schrödinger-cat state, the former is very challenging for atomic experiments while the latter is feasible in all but very small atomic systems. Here we report a novel microwave electric field quantum sensor termed as quantum superhet, which, for the first time, enables experimental measurement of phase and frequency, and makes a sensitivity few tens of nVcm$^{-1}$Hz$^{-1/2}$ readily accessible for current experiments. This sensor is based on microwave-dressed Rydberg atoms and tailored optical spectrum, with very favorable scalings on sensitivity gains. We can experimentally achieve a sensitivity of $55$ nVcm$^{-1}$Hz$^{-1/2}$, with the minimum detectable field being three orders of magnitude smaller than existing quantum electrometers. We also measure phase and frequency, being able to reach a frequency accuracy of few tens of $μ$Hz for microwave field of just few tens of nVcm$^{-1}$. Our technique can be also applied to sense electric fields at terahertz or radio frequency. This work is a first step towards realizing the long sought-after electromagnetic-wave quantum sensors with quantum projection noise limited sensitivity, promising broad applications such as in radio telescope, terahertz communication and quantum control.

description: We study the evolution of V339 Del (Nova Del 2013) during 0.37 to 75 days after discovery. Spectra from the Liverpool Telescope were collected and analysed to find velocity of ejecta, relative radiation with respect to continuum level, and FWHM of the radiation. The evolution of light curve was explained by adopting an ideal nova light curve as criteria. We found that the evolution of V339 Del during t = 0.37 to 75 days can be explained in 7 phases: 1) Initial rise (t = 0 - 0.6 days, 2) Pre-maximum halt (t = 0.6 to 1.2 days), 3) Final rise (t = 1.2 to 1.5 days), 4) Maximum (t = 1.5 to 2.5 days), 5) Early decline (t = 2.5 to 35 days), 6) Transition (t = 35 to 60 days), and 7) Final decline (t = 60 to approximately 75 days).

description: Background: Platinum compounds are commonly used for lung cancer treatment. However, the severe side effects and relatively poor prognosis limit their therapeutic effect. Therefore, developing novel platinum derivative and treatment strategy are critical for current lung cancer therapy. Methods: Flow cytometry, HMGB1 and ATP release, and immunoblotting were performed to evaluate the Oxaliplatin-induced immunogenic cell death (ICD) in two lung carcinoma cells. Vaccination approach and subcutaneous tumor models were created to analyze the tumor regression effect of Oxaliplatin. PD-L1 mRNA and protein levels were detected in LLC (Lewis lung carcinoma). Enhanced therapeutic efficacy of LLC was assessed by co-administration Oxaliplatin and aPD-L1 in murine lung tumor model. Results: Oxaliplatin induced robust ICD in LLC cells, activated dendritic cells (DCs, CD80+CD86+) and enhanced cytotoxic T cells (CD8+) in LLC tumor tissues, which resulted in tumor regression. Co-administration of Oxaliplatin and checkpoint inhibitor, aPD-L1, could enhance the therapeutic efficacy of LLC in murine lung carcinoma. Conclusion: This study reveals Oxaliplatin can induce robust ICD in tumor tissues and suppress tumor growth by activating DCs and enhancing T-cell infiltration. Notably, the Oxaliplatin-induced ICD provides an immunogenic microenvironment, which enhances the checkpoint inhibitor therapeutic efficacy of LLC.

description: Phase fractions, compositions and energies of the stable phases as a function of macroscopic composition, temperature, and pressure (X-T-P) are the principle correlations needed for the design of new materials and improvement of existing materials. They are the outcomes of thermodynamic modeling based on the CALculation of PHAse Diagrams (CALPHAD) approach. The accuracy of CALPHAD predictions vary widely in X-T-P space due to experimental error, model inadequacy and unequal data coverage. In response, researchers have developed frameworks to quantify the uncertainty of thermodynamic property model parameters and propagate it to phase diagram predictions. In previous studies, uncertainty was represented as intervals on phase boundaries (with respect to composition) or invariant reactions (with respect to temperature) and was unable to represent the uncertainty in eutectoid reactions or in the stability of phase regions. In this work, we propose a suite of tools that leverages samples from the multivariate model parameter distribution to represent uncertainty in forms that surpass previous limitations and are well suited to materials design. These representations include the distribution of phase diagrams and their features, as well as the dependence of phase stability and the distributions of phase fraction, composition activity and Gibbs energy on X-T-P location - irrespective of the total number of components. Most critically, the new methodology allows the material designer to interrogate a certain composition and temperature domain and get in return the probability of different phases to be stable, which can positively impact materials design.

description: In this talk we review the actual situation concerning electroweak phase transition and baryogenesis in the minimal supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model. A strong enough phase transition requires light Higgs and stop eigenstates. For a Higgs mass in the range 110--115 GeV, there is a stop window in the range 105--165 GeV. If the Higgs is heavier than 115 GeV, stronger constrains are imposed on the space of supersymmetric parameters. A baryon-to-entropy ratio is generated by the chargino sector provided that the $μ$ parameter has a CP-violating phase larger than $\sim$ 0.04.

description: The increased need for unattended authentication in multiple scenarios has motivated a wide deployment of biometric systems in the last few years. This has in turn led to the disclosure of security concerns specifically related to biometric systems. Among them, Presentation Attacks (PAs, i.e., attempts to log into the system with a fake biometric characteristic or presentation attack instrument) pose a severe threat to the security of the system: any person could eventually fabricate or order a gummy finger or face mask to impersonate someone else. The biometrics community has thus made a considerable effort to the development of automatic Presentation Attack Detection (PAD) mechanisms, for instance through the international LivDet competitions. In this context, we present a novel fingerprint PAD scheme based on $i)$ a new capture device able to acquire images within the short wave infrared (SWIR) spectrum, and $ii)$ an in-depth analysis of several state-of-the-art techniques based on both handcrafted and deep learning features. The approach is evaluated on a database comprising over 4700 samples, stemming from 562 different subjects and 35 different presentation attack instrument (PAI) species. The results show the soundness of the proposed approach with a detection equal error rate (D-EER) as low as 1.36\% even in a realistic scenario where five different PAI species are considered only for testing purposes (i.e., unknown attacks).

description: In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird eine Unterrichtssequenz, die auf den Grundlagen des ästhetischen Lernens fußt, untersucht. 14 Schüler_innen eines Deutschförderkurses einer Wiener Mittelschule arbeiten am Thema „Porträt“ mit unterschiedlichen Aufgabenstellungen in der Klasse und im Kunsthistorischen Museum. Den Abschluss bildet ein Porträtfoto, das sie von sich selbst oder den Klassenkolleg_innen mit dem Handy aufnehmen. Als Forschungsmethode bietet die Aktionsforschung mit den einzelnen Schritten Planung, Aktion, Beobachtung, Reflexion und Veröffentlichung einen geeigneten Rahmen. Zur Erhebung der Daten wird die Kombination von Beobachtung und Befragung gewählt, um sowohl die Außensicht als auch die Innenperspektive abzubilden. Die durchgeführte Sprachlernforschung zeigt das vielfältige Potenzial des ästhetischen Lernens für heterogene Sprachlerngruppen. Die Unterrichtsdurchführung ist mit einzelnen vorgeschlagenen Adaptierungen jederzeit wiederholbar. Im Vorfeld der empirischen Forschung wird der wissenschaftliche Diskurs über das ästhetische Lernen mit dem Fokus auf die bildende Kunst, die Kompetenzen, die damit erworben werden, und die Verankerung im Curriculum dargelegt. Daneben wird die ideengebende Grundlage für das Unterrichtskonzept vorgestellt und ein kurzer Einblick in die Entwicklung des Porträts und des Selfies gegeben.
description: This paper examines a teaching sequence based on the foundations of aesthetic learning. Fourteen students attending a German language support course at a Vienna new secondary school worked on the subject of “portraits”, with variety tasks set in the classroom and at the Kunsthistorisches Museum. These culminate in a portrait photograph of themselves or their classmates that the children take with their phones. As a research method, action research, broken down into planning, action, observation, reflection and publication, offers a suitable framework. Data collection is according to a combination of observation and interrogation, to reflect both the external and the internal perspective. The language learning research carried out shows the wide-ranging potential of aesthetic learning as a method for mixed language learning groups. The lesson can be repeated at any time, with a variety of adaptations. By way of introduction to the empirical research, the paper reviews the academic literature on aesthetic learning with a focus on the fine arts, the skills that are acquired with it, and the means of anchoring it in the curriculum. In addition, the ideas behind the teaching concept are presented, and a brief insight given into the development of the portrait and the selfie.

description: We show, for each $q$-continued fraction $G(q)$ in a certain class of continued fractions, that there is an uncountable set of points on the unit circle at which $G(q)$ diverges in the general sense. This class includes the Rogers-Ramanujan continued fraction and the three Ramanujan-Selberg continued fraction. We discuss the implications of our theorems for the general convergence of other $q$-continued fractions, for example the Göllnitz-Gordon continued fraction, on the unit circle.

description: The research talks about the explanatory issues agreed upon by Mujahid bin Jabr and QatadaTheir efforts were clear and clear in the interpretation of the Allah Holy Quraan and they were a reference for the interpreters after them, and those who follow their interpretation of the verses of Allah have agreed on many issues in the interpretation, so  the two reseochers  have decided to extract the issues agreed upon in the interpretation in Surat Al-Baqara only because there are many issues in the Holy Quraan and that Extending Allah in our ages, we will complete this project, Allah Almighty willing, and we do not know anyone who has compiled these issues and this is what called us to go into this topic in the service of the Book of Allah Almighty. The nature of the research required that it include an introduction, two studies and a conclusion: The introduction mentioned the reason for choosing the topic and the research plan. The first topic: The definition of the two imams was Mujahid and Qatada - may Allah Almighty have mercy on them - The second topic: The issues agreed upon in the interpretation of Surat Al-Baqara.

description: From the Modularity Theorem proven by Wiles, Taylor, et al, we know that all elliptic curves are modular. It has been shown by Martin and Ono exactly which are represented by eta-quotients, and some examples of elliptic curves represented by modular forms that are linear combinations of eta-quotients have been given by Pathakjee, RosnBrick, and Yoong. In this paper, we first show that eta-quotients which are modular for any congruence subgroup of level $N$ coprime to $6$ can be viewed as modular for $Γ_0(N)$. We then categorize when even weight eta-quotients can exist in $M_k (Γ_1(p))$ and $M_k (Γ_1(pq))$, for distinct primes $p,q$. We conclude by providing some new examples of elliptic curves whose corresponding modular forms can be written as a linear combination of eta-quotients, and describe an algorithmic method for finding additional examples.

A New State Of Hadronic Matter At High Density

description: We propose in this article that if the chemical potential exceeds a critical value in dense hadronic medium, a first-order phase transition to a new state of matter with Lorentz symmetry spontaneously broken (in addition to the explicit breaking) takes place. As a consequence, light vector mesons get excited as ``almost'' Goldstone bosons. Since the light vector mesons dominantly couple to photons, the presence of these new vector mesons could lead to an enhancement in the dilepton production from dense medium at an invariant mass lower than the free-space vector-meson mass. We provide a low-energy quark model which demonstrates that the above scenario is a generic case for quark theories with a strong interaction in the vector channel. We discuss possible relevance of this phase to the phenomenon of the enhanced dilepton production at low invariant masses in relativistic heavy-ion collisions.

title: Heat-flux peaks in the atmosphere and their role in the evolution of weather systems
Creators: name: Marcheggiani, Andrea
Publisher: name: University of Reading
Year: 2022

description: Diabatic processes drive surface heat fluxes and provide energy to weather
systems through heating where it is warm and cooling where it is cold,
globally increasing the available potential energy and giving a crucial contribution to the maintenance of midlatitude storm track regions. Locally, however, surface heat fluxes can be negatively correlated with lower-tropospheric
air temperature so that cold regions are heated and warm regions are cooled.
Peaks of intense air–sea thermal interaction result, on average, in the
damping of the temperature variance associated with weather systems, thus
depleting the potential energy available for their development, in contrast
with the average positive contribution that diabatic processes give globally.
In this thesis we characterise the role played by heat flux peaks in the
evolution of storm tracks’ life cycle by interpreting the spatial covariance
between surface heat flux and lower tropospheric air temperature as a measure of the intensity of thermodynamic activity associated with weather
systems. Through the analysis of the temporal evolution of covariance we
identify the average response of the atmospheric circulation to surface heat
flux peaks, which are found to have the largest impact within cold sectors
of weather systems, where the atmospheric boundary layer is deeper and
the surface–troposphere thermal coupling is enhanced.
Meridional heat fluxes also feature sporadic bursts of activity that can
account for a large fraction of the total meridional heat exchange. Peaks of
meridional heat flux result from both strong meridional wind–temperature
correlation and variances, which play distinctive roles in the cyclical evolution of heat flux peaks depending on the relative predominance of different
storm growth mechanisms.
Heat-flux–temperature correlation can therefore be considered as an independent dynamical variable carrying information about the state of the
atmospheric circulation and its thermal interactions.

description: What caused the Black Death in the 14th century to be more severe than any other plague outbreak? This article argues that the Bovine Pestilence, and the consequent protein malnutrition, has contributed to an inadequate immune system for the English population. As a result, the mortality rates during the plague outbreak were high. By using contemporary insights on the Y. Pestis bacterium and immunodeficiencies, and combining that with historical data on the Black Death in the 14th century, this article uses an interdisciplinary approach to come to a broader understanding of the severity of the 14th century pandemic.

description: Recurrent novae (RNe) are novae with multiple recorded outbursts powered by a thermonuclear runaway. The outburst occurs on the surface of the white dwarf which accompanies with a late type main-sequence or giant secondary star transferring material onto the white dwarf primary star. They resemble classical novae (CNe) outbursts but only RNe has more than one recorded outbursts. RNe play an important role as one of the suspected progenitor systems of Type Ia supernovae (SNe) which are used as primary distance indicators in cosmology. Thus, it is important to investigate the outburst type of CNe and RNe and finally ascertain the population of objects that might ultimately be candidates for Type Ia SNe explosions. The proposal that RNe occupy a region separated from CNe in an outburst amplitude versus speed class diagram was adopted. Since the low amplitude results from the existence of an evolved secondary and/or high mass transfer rate in the quiescent system, RNe candidates should accordingly have low amplitude. We selected 3 preliminary targets including T Pyx, BT Mon and V574 Pup. Their amplitudes are not that low but the lowest amplitude that can be observed with Thai National Telescope (TNT). We obtained their magnitudes at quiescence using ULTRASPEC camera on the 2.4-m TNT. The positions of three targets on optical and near-infrared color-magnitude diagrams suggest that all three should have mainsequence secondary stars. This is true for T Pyx, whose secondary star has been confirmed its spectroscopy to be a main-sequence star, but not yet confirmed for BT Mon and V574 Pup.

description: We have studied the influence of the patterning procedure on the critical current density of high-$T_c$ YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{7-δ}$ thin rings using the nonlinear ac susceptibility method. At no applied dc magnetic field we have found that laser ablation degrades strongly the critical current density whereas ion beam etching has only a weak influence on it. From the measurements at different frequencies and dc magnetic fields we analyzed the influence of flux creep and obtained the field dependence of the flux creep exponent. Our data reconfirm the recently observed scaling relation for the nonlinear susceptibility response of type-II superconductors.
