description: We investigate a tadpole-improved tree-level-O(a^3)-accurate action, D234c, on coarse lattices, using the mean link in Landau gauge to measure the tadpole contribution. We find that D234c shows much better rotational invariance than Sheikholeslami-Wohlert, and that mean-link tadpole improvement gives much better hadron mass scaling than plaquette tadpole improvement, with finite-a errors at 0.25 fm of only a few percent. We explore the effects of possible O(alpha_s) changes to the improvement coefficients, and find that the two leading coefficients can be independently tuned: hadron masses are only sensitive to the clover coefficient, while hadron dispersion relations are only sensitive to the third derivative coefficient. Preliminary non-perturbative tuning of these coefficients yields values that are consistent with the expected size of perturbative corrections.

Within the parameter space, we find that: (a) the new contribution from technipions is less than 2% of the standard model prediction; (b) the top-pions can provide a factor of 10 to 30 enhancement to the ratios in question; (c) the topcolor-assisted technicolor model is consistent with the current experimental data.

description: We propose a normalization layer for unsupervised domain adaption in semantic scene segmentation. Normalization layers are known to improve convergence and generalization and are part of many state-of-the-art fully-convolutional neural networks. We show that conventional normalization layers worsen the performance of current Unsupervised Adversarial Domain Adaption (UADA), which is a method to improve network performance on unlabeled datasets and the focus of our research. Therefore, we propose a novel Domain Agnostic Normalization layer and thereby unlock the benefits of normalization layers for unsupervised adversarial domain adaptation. In our evaluation, we adapt from the synthetic GTA5 data set to the real Cityscapes data set, a common benchmark experiment, and surpass the state-of-the-art. As our normalization layer is domain agnostic at test time, we furthermore demonstrate that UADA using Domain Agnostic Normalization improves performance on unseen domains, specifically on Apolloscape and Mapillary.
How Socially Conservative Were the Elizabethan Religious Radicals?
Creators: name: Kaufman, Peter Iver
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1998

description: Social historians have long suspected that religious convictions made a difference in the sixteenth century, and historians of the late Tudor religious and political settlements have recently emphasized the differences that advanced forms of Calvinism are alleged to have made. They say that religious radicals—puritans and precisianists, to their contemporary critics—were social conservatives who thought wealth was a blessing and poverty a curse. According to Keith Wrightson and David Levine, the “firmly committed Puritans among the yeomen of the parish” promoted a “sense of social distance” between themselves (“the better sort”) and the less respectable. The 1995 republication of Wrightson's and Levine's study of social discontinuity, Poverty and Piety in an English Village , seemed a splendid occasion to revisit the intersection of religious conviction and social practice and to ponder the precision with which puritanism's supposed contributions to social stratification—and the stratification itself—have been, and can be, measured. Measurements of a vastly different kind preoccupied Elizabethan religious theorists interested in gauging the effects of election and thus discovering whether they and their parishioners had been elected or chosen by God and redeemed. Assurances of election and of eternal reward were difficult to identify, because everything that Christians did or dreamed up was so deplorably flawed. “There remain relickes of syn” in the most righteous persons on earth, William Fulke preached in 1574; Christians desperate for assurance invariably experienced (and measured) those “relickes” as tokens of divine displeasure.
Strong Coupling Lattice Schwinger Model on Large Spherelike Lattices

description: The lattice regularized Schwinger model for one fermion flavor and in the strong coupling limit is studied through its equivalent representation as a restricted 8-vertex model. The Monte Carlo simulation on lattices with torus-topology is handicapped by a severe non-ergodicity of the updating algorithm; introducing lattices with spherelike topology avoids this problem. We present a large scale study leading to the identification of a critical point with critical exponent $ν=1$, in the universality class of the Ising model or, equivalently, the lattice model of free fermions.

description: By starting with a two-fields model in which the fields and their derivatives are nonminimally coupled to gravity, and then by using a conformal gauge, we obtain a model in which the derivatives of the canonically normalized field are nonminimally coupled to gravity. By adopting some appropriate functions, we study two cases with constant and E-model nonminimal derivative coupling, while the potential in both cases is chosen to be E-model one. We show that in contrary to the single field $α$-attractor model that there is an attractor \textit{point} in the large $N$ and small $α$ limits, in our setup and for both mentioned cases there is an attractor \emph{line} in these limits that the $r-n_{s}$ trajectories tend to. By studying the linear and nonlinear perturbations in this setup and comparing the numerical results with Planck2015 observational data, we obtain some constraints on the free parameter $α$. We show that by considering the E-model potential and coupling function, the model is observationally viable for all values of $M$ (mass scale of the model). We use the observational constraints on the tensor-to-scalar ratio and the consistency relation to obtain some constraints on the sound speed of the perturbations in this model. As a result, we show that in a nonminimal derivative $α$-attractor model, it is possible to have small sound speed and therefore large non-Gaussianity.

description: We calculate the one-loop $Z^0$-penguin contributions to the rare K-decays, $K^+ \to π^+ ν\bar ν$, $K_L \to π^0 ν\bar ν$ and $K_L \to μ^+ μ^-$, from the unit-charged technipions $π_1$ and $π_8$ in the framework of the Multiscale Walking Technicolor Model. We find that: (a) the $π_1$ and $π_8$ can provide one to two orders enhancements to the branching ratios of the rare K-decays; (b) by comparing the experimental data of $Br(K^+ \to π^+ ν\bar ν)$ with the theoretical prediction one finds the lower mass bounds, $m_{p8} \geq 249 GeV$ for $F_Q=40GeV$ and $m_{p1}=100 GeV$; (c) by comparing the experimental data of $Br(K_L \to μ^+ μ^-)$ with the theoretical predictions one finds the lower bounds on $m_{p1}$ and $m_{p8}$, $m_{p1} \geq 210 GeV$ if only the contribution from $π_1$ is taken into account, and $m_{p8} \geq 580 GeV$ for $m_{p1}=210 GeV$, assuming $F_Q=40GeV$; (d) the assumed ranges of the masses $m_{p1}$ and $m_{p8}$ in the Multiscale Walking Technicolor Model are excluded by the rare K-decay data.

description: A search is performed for a Higgs boson produced in association with a Z boson and decaying into two photons, using the L3 data collected at LEP at a centre-of-mass energy of 189 GeV. All decay modes of the Z are considered. No signal is observed and limits on the branching fraction of the Higgs boson decay into two photons as a function of the Higgs mass are derived assuming a Standard Model production rate. A lower limit on the mass of a fermiophobic Higgs is set at 94.9 GeV at 95% confidence level.

description: To elucidate the role in hadron structure of quark zero modes associated with instantons, the lowest eigenfunctions of the Dirac operator have been calculated in quenched QCD, full QCD, and full QCD with cooling. Eigenmodes associated with a single instanton and an instanton-anti-instanton pair were studied to understand the role of lattice artifacts for Wilson Fermions. By truncating the spectral representation of the quark propagator, we show that the rho and pion contributions to the vector and pseudoscalar correlation functions are dominated by the zero-mode contributions.

description: Using F-theory we construct 4D ${\cal N}=1$ SUGRA theories with the Standard Model gauge group, three chiral generations, and matter parity in order to forbid all dimension four baryon and lepton number violating operators. The underlying geometries are derived by constructing smooth genus-one fibered Calabi--Yau fourfolds using toric tops that have a Jacobian fibration with rank one Mordell--Weil group and $SU(3) \times SU(2) $ singularities. The necessary gauge backgrounds on the smooth fourfolds are shown to be fully compatible with the quantization condition, including positive integer D3-tadpoles. This construction realizes for the first time a consistent UV completion of an MSSM-like model with matter parity in F-theory. Moreover our construction is general enough to also exhibit other relevant $\mathbb{Z}_2$ charge extensions of the MSSM such as lepton and baryon parity. Such models however are rendered inconsistent by non-integer fluxes, which are necessary for producing the exact MSSM chiral spectrum. These inconsistencies turn out to be intimately related to field theory considerations regarding a UV-embedding of the $\mathbb{Z}_2$ into a $U(1)$ and the resulting discrete anomalies.

description: The old issue of why there are more than one family of quarks and leptons is reinvestigated with an eye towards the use of anomaly as a tool for constraining the number of families. It is found that, by assuming the existence of right-handed neutrinos (which would imply that neutrinos will have a mass) and a new chiral SU(2) gauge theory, strong constraints on the number of families can be obtained. In addition, a model, based on that extra SU(2), is constructed where it is natural to have one "very heavy" fourth neutrino and three almost degenerate light neutrinos whose masses are all of the Dirac type.

description: We consider nearly Kähler 6-manifolds with effective 2-torus symmetry. The multi-moment map for the $T^2$-action becomes an eigenfunction of the Laplace operator. At regular values, we prove the $T^2$-action is necessarily free on the level sets and determines the geometry of three-dimensional quotients. An inverse construction is given locally producing nearly Kähler six-manifolds from three-dimensional data. This is illustrated for structures on the Heisenberg group.

Classical and Quantum Dynamics of a Periodically Driven Particle in a Triangular Well
Creators: name: Flatté, Michael E.
name: Holthaus, Martin
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1995
Subjects: subject: Condensed Matter (cond-mat)

description: We investigate the correspondence between classical and quantum mechanics for periodically time dependent Hamiltonian systems, using the example of a periodically forced particle in a one-dimensional triangular well potential. In particular, we consider quantum mechanical Floquet states associated with resonances in the classical phase space. When the classical motion exhibits {\it sub}harmonic resonances, the corresponding Floquet states maintain the driving field's periodicity through dynamical tunneling. This principle applies both to Floquet states associated with classical invariant vortex tubes surrounding stable, elliptic periodic orbits and to Floquet states that are associated with unstable, hyperbolic periodic orbits. The triangular well model also poses a yet unsolved mathematical problem, related to perturbation theory for systems with a dense pure point spectrum. The present approximate analytical and numerical results indicate that quantum tunneling between different resonance zones is of crucial importance for the question whether the driven triangular well has a dense point or an absolutely continuous quasienergy spectrum, or whether there is a transition from the one to the other.

description: We calculate the new contributions to the rare decays $K^+ \to π^+ ν\bar ν$, $K_L \to π^0 ν\bar ν$ and $K_L \to μ^+ μ^-$ from new $Z^0$-penguin and box diagrams induced by the unit-charged scalars $(\tildeπ^\pm, \tilde{H}^\pm, π_1^\pm, π_8^\pm)$ appeared in the Topcolor-assisted technicolor (TC2) models. We find that: (a) the unit-charged top-pion $\tildeπ^\pm$ and b-pion $\tilde{H}^\pm$ can provide large contributions to the rare K-decays if they are relatively light; (b) the size of mixing elements $D_{L,R}^{ij}$ ($i \neq j$) is strongly constrained by the data of $B^0$ meson mixing: $|a_R^{ts}|, |a_R^{td}| < 0.01$ for $a_L^{td}=a_L^{ts}=1/2$ and $m_{\tilde{H}^0}\leq 600GeV$; (c) the enhancements to the branching ratios of rare K-decays from new scalars can be as large as one order of magnitude; (d) there is a strong cancellation between the short- and long-distance dispersive part of the decay $K_L \to μ^+ μ^-$, the constraint on the new short-distance part from this decay mode is thus not strong; (e) the typical TC2 model under study is generally consistent with the available rare K-decay data.

Creators: name: Gregory, Peter J.
Publisher: name: The Royal Society
Year: 2018
Subjects: Structural Biology

description: Dennis Greenland was an outstanding soil scientist who combined the analytical rigour of a chemist with the practical application of an agricultural scientist. His early research employed X-ray diffraction and other emerging analytical techniques to determine the surface properties of clay minerals and their interactions with organic components of soils. This, in turn, led to research to understand the forces leading to aggregate and structural stability (and instability) in soils of the UK, Australia, Nigeria and the tropics generally. Simultaneously, Dennis engaged with the practical problems faced by farmers in the tropics to maintain the fertility of their soils and ensure long-term crop production; his early work (with Peter Nye) on shifting cultivation is regarded as a classic of the soil science literature. These two elements of his research came together during his periods as deputy director general, with responsibility for research, at the International Institute for Tropical Agriculture in Nigeria (1974–1976) and the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) in the Philippines (1979–1987). At both institutions he sought to improve the research in natural resources so that the genetic gains delivered by crop breeding could be achieved by farmers on their fields. At IRRI he encouraged research on rice-growing environments and improved water management taking account of catchment uses, and he promoted integrated approaches to nutrient management that combined organic and inorganic sources. This passion for integrated approaches to soil management led to his championing, and eventually chairing, the International Board for Soil Research and Management (IBSRAM) in which he played a major role in forming networks of multi-location experiments with many institutions.
Global-mean Vertical Tracer Mixing in Planetary Atmospheres II: Tidally Locked Planets

Year: 2018

description: In Zhang $\&$ Showman (2018, hereafter Paper I), we developed an analytical theory of 1D eddy diffusivity $K_{zz}$ for global-mean vertical tracer transport in a 3D atmosphere. We also presented 2D numerical simulations on fast-rotating planets to validate our theory. On a slowly rotating planet such as Venus or a tidally locked planet (not necessarily a slow-rotator) such as a hot Jupiter, the tracer distribution could exhibit significant longitudinal inhomogeneity and tracer transport is intrinsically 3D. Here we study the global-mean vertical tracer transport on tidally locked planets using 3D tracer-transport simulations. We find that our analytical $K_{zz}$ theory in Paper I is validated on tidally locked planets over a wide parameter space. $K_{zz}$ strongly depends on the large-scale circulation strength, horizontal mixing due to eddies and waves and local tracer sources and sinks due to chemistry and microphysics. As our analytical theory predicted, $K_{zz}$ on tidally locked planets also exhibit three regimes In Regime I where the chemical and microphysical processes are uniformly distributed across the globe, different chemical species should be transported via different eddy diffusivity. In Regime II where the chemical and microphysical processes are non-uniform---for example, photochemistry or cloud formation that exhibits strong day-night contrast---the global-mean vertical tracer mixing does not always behave diffusively. In the third regime where the tracer is long-lived, non-diffusive effects are significant. Using species-dependent eddy diffusivity, we provide a new analytical theory of the dynamical quench points for disequilibrium tracers on tidally locked planets from first principles.

Measurement of the W-Pair Production Cross Section and W-Decay Branching Fractions in e+e- Interactions at sqrt{s}=189GeV

description: The data collected by the L3 experiment at LEP at a centre-of-mass energy of 188.6 GeV are used to measure the W-pair production cross section and the W-boson decay branching fractions. These data correspond to an integrated luminosity of 176.8pb^-1. The total cross section for W-pair production, combining all final states, is measured to be sigma_WW = 16.24 +/- 0.37(stat.) +/- 0.22(syst.) pb. Including our data collected at lower centre-of-mass energies, the hadronic branching fraction of the W-boson is determined to be B(W ->qq) = [68.20 +/- 0.68 (stat.) +/- 0.33 (syst.) ] %. The results agree with the Standard Model predictions.
Stylistic Diversity and Diacritical Feasting at Protopalatial Petras: A Preliminary Analysis of the Lakkos Deposit
Creators: name: Haggis, Donald C.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2007

description: This paper presents an overview of an assemblage of Middle Minoan (MM) IB pottery from a closed deposit known as the "Lakkos" at the Minoan palace of Petras in eastern Crete. The various ware groups are discussed with the aim of improving our understanding of the Proto-palatial ceramic sequence in this part of Crete and the function of stylistic variation in a palatial context. Recent studies of the earliest palaces have shifted discussion away from the traditional view of the palace as an economic center by emphasizing evidence for regionally diverse sociopolitical configurations during the period. The MM IB-IIB palace is viewed not as a monolithic institution controlling contiguous territories but as a venue for the articulation of dominant ideologies in contexts suggesting a wide range of sociopolitical interactions within and outside the palace. Current approaches consider various forms of data, including elite or distinctly palatial styles of pottery, which are taken as symbolic referents in public rituals. My analysis of the Petras Lakkos pottery is informed by this paradigm shift: I argue that styles of pottery and stylistic relationships between pottery, seals, hieroglyphic documents, and peak sanctuary figurines are related to the visual expression of the identities of competing corporate groups. Drinking sets in different ware groups identify distinct social units or ritual roles in a phase immediately prior to the foundation of the palace.

Strong Converse for Hypothesis Testing Against Independence over a Two-Hop Network

description: By proving a strong converse, we strengthen the weak converse result by Salehkalaibar, Wigger and Wang (2017) concerning hypothesis testing against independence over a two-hop network with communication constraints. Our proof follows by judiciously combining two recently proposed techniques for proving strong converse theorems, namely the strong converse technique via reverse hypercontractivity by Liu, van Handel, and Verdú (2017) and the strong converse technique by Tyagi and Watanabe (2018), in which the authors used a change-of-measure technique and replaced hard Markov constraints with soft information costs. The techniques used in our paper can also be applied to prove strong converse theorems for other multiterminal hypothesis testing against independence problems.

description: A type of scenario is considered where electrically charged vacuum bubbles, formed from degenerate or nearly degenerate vacuua separated by a thin domain wall, are cosmologically produced due to the breaking of a discrete symmetry, with the bubble charge arising from fermions residing within the domain wall. Stability issues associated with wall tension, fermion gas, and Coulombic effects for such configurations are examined. The stability of a bubble depends upon parameters such as the symmetry breaking scale and the fermion coupling. A dominance of either the Fermi gas or the Coulomb contribution may be realized under certain conditions, depending upon parameter values.

description: The energy content of (exact) electromagnetic and gravitational plane waves is studied in terms of super-energy tensors (the Bel, Bel-Robinson and the --less familiar-- Chevreton tensors) and natural observers. Starting from the case of single waves, the more interesting situation of colliding waves is then discussed, where the nonlinearities of the Einstein's theory play an important role. The causality properties of the super-momentum four vectors associated with each of these tensors are also investigated when passing from the single-wave regions to the interaction region.

Year: 1992

description: Least‐squares fitting is reviewed, in tutorial form, when both variables contain significant errors. Various error models are described; corresponding appropriate weighting is discussed; and the interpretation of weighting is clarified by a physically intuitive description and by graphical results. Resources in the literature on least‐squares fitting that are suitable for physics and astronomy students are reviewed.

description: A class of $d$-dimensional reaction-diffusion models interpolating continuously between the diffusion-coagulation and the diffusion-annihilation models is introduced. Exact relations among the observables of different models are established. For the one-dimensional case, it is shown how correlations in the initial state can lead to non-universal amplitudes for time-dependent particles density.

description: Bcl-2, an inhibitor of apoptosis, is expressed in LPS-induced metaplastic goblet cells of rat airways. The present study investigated expression of Bcl-2 in airway mucous cells of persons with cystic fibrosis and tested in rats and mice whether its expression is responsible for sustaining metaplastic mucous cells. A significantly higher percentage of mucous cells expressed Bcl-2 in humans with cystic fibrosis compared with control subjects with no disease or subjects with other diseases. In LPS-instilled F344/N rats, the percentage of Bcl-2-positive mucous cells was decreased to background levels before the resolution of goblet cell metaplasia. Furthermore, intraperitoneal injection of rats with antisense oligonucleotides significantly reduced Bcl-2 expression and goblet cell metaplasia in nasal and pulmonary airway epithelia in rats. In contrast, sustained expression of Bcl-2 in transgenic mice by a metallothionein promoter caused increased LPS-induced goblet cell metaplasia over 8 days compared with wild-type mice. These studies demonstrate that Bcl-2 expression sustains goblet cell metaplasia in various species, that epithelial cell numbers are directly linked to the regulation of the numbers of goblet cells, and that downregulating Bcl-2 expression reduces goblet cell metaplasia.
Bag Picture of the Excited QCD Vacuum with Static Q-Qbar Source

description: The gluon excitations of the QCD vacuum are investigated in the presence of a static quark-antiquark source. It is shown that the ground state potential and the excitation spectrum of dynamical gluon degrees of freedom, as determined in our lattice simulations, agree remarkably well with model predictions based on the diaelectric properties of the confining vacuum described as a dual superconductor. The strong chromoelectric field of the static Q-Qbar source creates a bubble (bag) in the condensed phase where weakly interacting gluon modes can be excited. Some features and predictions of the bag model are presented and the chromoelectric vortex limit at large quark-antiquark separation (string formation) is briefly discussed.

Proton Polarization Shifts in Electronic and Muonic Hydrogen

Year: 1999
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The contribution of virtual excitations to the energy levels of electronic and muonic hydrogen is investigated combining a model-independent approach for the main part with quark model predictions for the remaining corrections. Precise values for the polarization shifts are obtained in the long-wavelength dipole approximation by numerically integrating over measured total photoabsorption cross sections. These unretarded results are considerably reduced by including retardation effects in an approximate way since the average momentum transfer (together with the mean excitation energy) turns out to be larger than usually assumed. Transverse and seagull contributions are estimated in a simple harmonic oscillator quark model and found to be non-negligible. Possible uncertainties and improvements of the final results are discussed.

description: Electrochemical gradient of protons, or proton motive force (PMF), is at the basis of bacterial energetics. It powers vital cellular processes and defines the physiological state of the cell. Here we use an electric circuit analogy of an Escherichia coli cell to mathematically describe the relationship between bacterial PMF, electric properties of the cell membrane and catabolism. We combine the analogy with the use of bacterial flagellar motor as a single-cell "voltmeter" to measure cellular PMF in varied and dynamic external environments, for example, under different stresses. We find that butanol acts as an ionophore, and functionally characterise membrane damage caused by the light of shorter wavelengths. Our approach coalesces non-invasive and fast single-cell voltmeter with a well-defined mathematical framework to enable quantitative bacterial electrophysiology.
The Radicalism of Tradition: Community Strength or Venerable Disguise and Borrowed Language?.
Creators: name: Calhoun, Craig
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1983

description: An equation has often been made, especially but not exclusively by Marxists,between radicalism and the rational understanding of objective interests. I argue that, on the contrary, commitments to traditional cultural values and immediate communal relations are crucial to many radical movements, (a)because these commitments provide populations with the extent of internal social organization necessary to concerted, radical collective action, and (b) because the largely defensive goals of these movements must be radically incompatible with the introduction of modern capitalist-dominated social formations. Reformism is the characteristic stance of the modern working class, for both social and cultural reasons.

description: We investigate the confinement properties in the multi-instanton system, where the size distribution is assumed to be $ ρ^{-5} $ for the large instanton size $ ρ$. We find that the instanton vacuum gives the area law behavior of the Wilson loop, which indicates existence of the linear confining potential. In the multi-instanton system, the string tension increases monotonously with the instanton density, and takes the standard value $ σ\simeq 1 GeV/fm $ for the density $ (N/V)^{1/4} = 200 MeV $. Thus, instantons directly relate to color confinement properties.

description: Planets that form early enough to be embedded in the circumstellar gas disk accumulate thick atmospheres of nebular gas. Models of these atmospheres need to specify the surface luminosity (i.e. energy loss rate) of the planet. This luminosity is usually associated with a continuous inflow of solid bodies, where the gravitational energy released from these bodies is the source of energy. However, if these bodies release energy in the atmosphere instead of at the surface, this assumption might not be justified. Our aim is to explore the interactions of infalling planetesimals with primordial atmospheres at an embedded phase of evolution. We investigate effects of atmospheric interaction on the planetesimals (mass loss) and the atmosphere (heating/cooling). We used atmospheric parameters from a snapshot of time-dependent evolution simulations for embedded atmospheres and simulated purely radial, infall events of siliceous planetesimals in a 1D, explicit code. We implemented energy transfer between friction, radiation transfer by the atmosphere and the body and thermal ablation; this gives us the possibility to examine the effects on the planetesimals and the atmosphere. We find that a significant amount of gravitational energy is indeed dissipated into the atmosphere, especially for larger planetary cores, which consequently cannot contribute to the atmospheric planetary luminosity. Furthermore, we examine that planetesimal infall events for cores, $M_\mathrm{C} > 2$M$_{\oplus}$, which actually result in a local cooling of the atmosphere; this is totally in contradiction with the classical model.
Social Democracy, Christian Democracy, Constitutional Structure, and the Welfare State

description: The literature on the determinants of welfare state effort displays many inconsistencies and contradictins. This article takes imoprtant stepts toward resolving these issues with the use of pooled cross-sectional and time-series analyses. The findings are that various independent variables affect different measures of welfare state effort in different and theoretically meaningful ways. Of special importance are the contrasting effects of Christian democracy and social democracy on transfer payments, social benefits expenditure, and total government revenue. There is also a strong effect of constitutional structure on welfare state effort, a finding that provides the first solid support for the state-centered perspective in a quantitative analysis.
Nonlinear optical response from excitons in soliton lattice systems of doped conjugated polymers

description: Exciton effects on conjugated polymers are investigated in soliton lattice states. We use the Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model with long-range Coulomb interactions. The Hartree-Fock (HF) approximation and the single-excitation configuration- interaction (single-CI) method are used to obtain optical absorption spectra. The third-harmonic generation (THG) at off-resonant frequencies is calculated as functions of the soliton concentration and the chain length of the polymer. The magnitude of the THG at the 10 percent doping increases by the factor about 10^2 from that of the neutral system. This is owing to the accumulation of the oscillator strengths at the lowest exciton with increasing the soliton concentration. The increase by the order two is common for several choices of Coulomb interaction strengths.
