description: The aim of this paper is to study the boundedness of different conical square functions that arise naturally from second order divergence form degenerate elliptic operators. More precisely, let $L_w=w^{-1}\,{\rm div}(w\,A\,\nabla)$ where $w\in A_2$ and $A$ is an $n\times n$ bounded, complex-valued, uniformly elliptic matrix. D. Cruz-Uribe and C. Rios solved the $L^2(w)$-Kato square root problem obtaining that $\sqrt{L_w}$ is equivalent to the gradient on $L^2(w)$. The same authors in collaboration with the second named author of this paper studied the $L^p(w)$-boundedness of operators that are naturally associated with $L_w$, such as the functional calculus, Riesz transforms, or vertical square functions. The theory developed admitted also weighted estimates (i.e., estimates in $L^p(v dw)$ for $v\in A_\infty(w)$), and in particular a class of "degeneracy" weights $w$ was found in such a way that the classical $L^2$-Kato problem can be solved. In this paper, continuing this line of research, and also that originated in some recent results by the second and third named authors of the current paper, we study the boundedness on $L^p(w)$ and on $L^p(v dw)$, with $v\in A_\infty(w)$, of the conical square functions that one can construct using the heat or Poisson semigroup associated with $L_w$. As a consequence of our methods, we find a class of degeneracy weights $w$ for which $L^2$-estimates for these conical square functions hold. This opens the door to the study of weighted and unweighted Hardy spaces and of boundary value problems associated with $L_w$.

description: Studies of quantum metrology have shown that the use of many-body entangled states can lead to an enhancement in sensitivity when compared to product states. In this paper, we quantify the metrological advantage of entanglement in a setting where the quantity to be measured is a linear function of parameters coupled to each qubit individually. We first generalize the Heisenberg limit to the measurement of non-local observables in a quantum network, deriving a bound based on the multi-parameter quantum Fisher information. We then propose a protocol that can make use of GHZ states or spin-squeezed states, and show that in the case of GHZ states the procedure is optimal, i.e., it saturates our bound.

description: We address the validity of the formalism and results presented in [ S. Das, Phys. Rev. {\bf D89} 084068 (2014)] with regard to quantum Raychaudhuri equation. The author obtained the so called quantum Raychaudhuri equation by replacing classical geodesics with quantal trajectories arising from Bhommian mechanics. The resulting modified equation was used to draw some conclusions about the inevitability of focussing and the formation of conjugate points and therefore singularity. We show that the whole procedure is full of problematic points, on both physical relevancy and mathematical correctness. In particular, we illustrate the problems associated with the technical derivation of the so called quantum Raychaudhuri equation, as well as its invalid physical implications.

description: A gated Hall-bar device is made from an epitaxially grown, free-standing InSb nanosheet on a hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) dielectric/graphite gate structure and the electron transport properties in the InSb nanosheet are studied by gate-transfer characteristic and magnetotransport measurements at low temperatures. The measurements show that the carriers in the InSb nanosheet are of electrons and the carrier density in the nanosheet can be highly efficiently tuned by the graphite gate. The mobility of the electrons in the InSb nanosheet is extracted from low-field magneotransport measurements and a value of the mobility exceeding ~18000 cm$^2$V$^{-1}$s$^{-1}$ is found. High-field magentotransport measurements show well-defined Shubnikov-de Haas (SdH) oscillations in the longitudinal resistance of the InSb nanosheet. Temperature-dependent measurements of the SdH oscillations are carried out and key transport parameters, including the electron effective mass m$^*$$\sim$0.028 m$_0$ and the quantum lifetime $τ$$\sim$0.046 ps, in the InSb nanosheet are extracted. It is for the first time that such experimental measurements have been reported for a free-standing InSb nanosheet and the results obtained indicate that InSb nanosheet/hBN/graphite gate structures can be used to develop advanced quantum devices for novel physics studies and for quantum technology applications.

Characteristic Functions Based on Quantum Jump Trajectory
Creators: name: Liu, Fei
name: Xi, Jingyi
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Characteristic functions (CFs) provide a very efficient method for evaluating the probability density functions of stochastic thermodynamic quantities and investigating their statistical features in quantum master equations (QMEs). A conventional procedure for obtaining these functions is to resort to a first-principles approach; namely, the evolution equations of the CFs of the combined system and its environment are obtained and then projected into the degrees of freedom of the system. However, the QMEs can be unraveled by a quantum jump trajectory. Thermodynamic quantities such as the heat, work, and entropy production can be well defined along a trajectory. Hence, on the basis of the notion of a trajectory, can we straightforwardly derive these CFs, e.g., their evolution equations? This is essential to establish the self-contained stochastic thermodynamics of a QME. In this paper, we show that it is indeed plausible and also simple. Particularly, these equations are fully consistent with those obtained by the first-principles method. Our results have practical significance; they indicate that the quantum fluctuation relations could be verified by more realistic photocounting experiments.

description: Excitons, which are composite boson quasi-particles composed of bound electrons and holes, have many fascinating properties and great potential in practical applications. Though experimental studies on exciton dynamics are well-developed, the ab initio simulation ones still remain vacant until two years ago. Here, we apply the density functional theory (DFT) and many-body perturbation theory (MBPT) on 2D MoSi$_2$N$_4$ to study its exciton-related physics and non-adiabatic ultrafast exciton dynamics theoretically and numerically for the first time. We calculate the photoluminescence (PL) spectra with final states as bright excitons, yet lots of them are contributed by the dark ones, and the results match the experimental ones perfectly. We also study the dark-exciton-involved processes, which were barely studied in the past but dominate in many physical processes, and obtain several main results like: (i) High scattering rates over the whole Brillouin zone (BZ) within the order of magnitude from 10$^{-2}$ fs$^{-1}$ to 10$^{-1}$ fs$^{-1}$; (ii) Thorough analysis for the dynamics of the dark excitons at $Λ$ valley, which have negative effective mass and the highest scattering rate among several exciton states; (iii) Simulate the time-resolved evolution of the excitons after photo-excitation with the real-time Boltzmann transport equation (rt-BTE) techniques, in which process excitons at K/K' valley play an important role; (iv) Exciton dynamics with spin-valley locking at K/K' valley are also discussed here; (v) A new approach is proposed for modulating the non-adiabatic effects for excitons, accompanied by a chiral phonon absorption/emission, by tuning the chirality of the external circularly polarized light. All the results show that the 2D material MoSi$_2$N$_4$ is an ideal platform to study the exciton-involved physics and has great application value.

Vertically localised equilibrium solutions in large-eddy simulations of homogeneous shear flow

name: Jiménez, Javier
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Fluid Dynamics (physics.flu-dyn)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Unstable equilibrium solutions in a homogeneous shear flow with sinuous symmetry are numerically found in large-eddy simulations (LES) with no kinetic viscosity. The small-scale properties are determined by the mixing length scale $l_S$ used to define eddy viscosity, and the large-scale motion is induced by the mean shear at the integral scale, which is limited by the spanwise box dimension $L_z$. The fraction $ R_S= L_z/l_S$, which plays the role of a Reynolds number, is used as a numerical continuation parameter. It is shown that equilibrium solutions appear by a saddle-node bifurcation as $R_S$ increases, and that they resemble those in plane Couette flow with the same symmetry. The vortical structures of both lower- and upper-branch solutions become spontaneously localised in the vertical direction. The lower-branch solution is an edge state at low $R_S$, and takes the form of a thin critical layer as $R_S$ increases, as in the asymptotic theory of generic shear flow at high-Reynolds numbers. On the other hand, the upper-branch solutions are characterised by a tall velocity streak with multi-scale multiple vortical structures. At the higher end of $R_S$, an incipient multiscale structure is found. The LES turbulence occasionally visits vertically localised states whose vortical structure resembles the present vertically localised LES equilibria.

description: In this work we investigate the observability of Inert Doublet Model scalars at the LHC operating at the center of mass energy of 14 TeV. The signal production process is $pp \to AH^\pm \to ZHW^{\pm}H$ leading to two different final states of $\ell^+\ell^-Hjj H$ and $\ell^+\ell^-H\ell^\pmνH$ based on the hadronic and leptonic decay channels of the W boson. All the relevant background processes are considered and an event selection is designed to distinguish the signal from the large Standard Model background. We found that signals of the selected search channels are well observable at the LHC with integrated luminosity of 300 fb$^{-1}$.

description: Recent advances in engineered gradient metasurfaces have enabled unprecedented opportunities for light manipulation using optically thin sheets, such as anomalous refraction, reflection, or focusing of an incident beam. Here we introduce a concept of multi-channel functional metasurfaces, which are able to control incoming and outgoing waves in a number of propagation directions simultaneously. In particular, we reveal a possibility to engineer multi-channel reflectors. Under the assumption of reciprocity and energy conservation, we find that there exist three basic functionalities of such reflectors: Specular, anomalous, and retro reflections. Multi-channel response of a general flat reflector can be described by a combination of these functionalities. To demonstrate the potential of the introduced concept, we design and experimentally test three different multi-channel reflectors: Three- and five-channel retro-reflectors and a three-channel power splitter. Furthermore, by extending the concept to reflectors supporting higher-order Floquet harmonics, we forecast the emergence of other multiple-channel flat devices, such as isolating mirrors, complex splitters, and multi-functional gratings.

description: The future European Common Agricultural Policy foresees Strategic National Plans founded on recognised needs for intervention and indicators in order to select the more effective policy measures. The Strategic plans start from a “context analysis”, describing the current-starting conditions. In support to the policy theme on climate change, the authors proposed a context analysis on the main agrometeorological variables and weather extreme events, both at national and subnational (NUTS1) level. This paper describes the methodological choices made and the results obtained, considering the contents required by the European Commission for the context analysis (agrometeorological indicators and an indicator of economic damages due to natural disasters). The data source chosen is ERA5, the climate reanalysis dataset produced within the Copernicus project. The study demonstrates the importance of cross-reading data on hazards and data on vulnerability for policy decisions. In particular this is shown for the resulted most impacting weather condition: the drought, measured through the SPEI index, affecting all the country. There are also other hazards frequent and quite impacting, first of all heavy rain. Further improvements of the analysis are programmed in terms of spatial scale, time scale (seasonal approach) and in terms of correlation hazard-vulnerability.

description: We report on an experimental study of the spin-orbit interaction (SOI) in an epitaxially grown free-standing InAs nanosheet in a dual-gate field-effect device. Gate-transfer characteristic measurements show that independent tunings of the carrier density in the nanosheet and the potential difference across the nanosheet can be efficiently achieved with use of the dual gate. The quantum transport characteristics of the InAs nanosheet are investigated by magnetoconductance measurements at low temperatures. It is shown that the electron transport in the nanosheet can be tuned from the weak antilocalization to the weak localization and then back to the weak antilocalization regime with a voltage applied over the dual gate without a change in carrier density. The spin-orbit length extracted from the magnetoconductance measurements at a constant carrier density exhibits a peak value at which the SOI of the Rashba type is suppressed and the spin relaxation due to the presence of an SOI of the Dresselhaus type in the nanosheet can be revealed. Energy band diagram simulations have also been carried out for the device at the experimental conditions and the physical insights into the experimental observations have been discussed in light of the results of simulations.

description: This study concerns rainfed maize (Zea mays. L) grown in two different (winter and spring) growing seasons under current and future climate conditions in north-east of Vietnam. The yield response of rainfed maize was investigated by applying the DSSAT CERES-Maize crop model and two climate scenarios according to Representative Concentration Pathways (RCPs), RCP 4.5 and RCP 8.5. The results show that maize responds with a wide range of yield-levels due to the different climatic and production conditions. On average, under RCP 8.5 climate scenario, annual maize yield (including both winter and spring maize yields) increases by 1.1% while under RCP 4.5 the increase is 3.6%. The annual balanced maize yield increase under both RCPs is based, however, on significant changes in the simulated winter and spring maize yields, respectively. Winter maize yield was simulated to rise up to 33.3% and 31.9% under RCP 4.5 and RCP 8.5, respectively. In contrast, simulated spring maize yield decreases under both RCP 4.5 and RCP 8.5 by 30.3% and 33.9%, respectively. From those findings, it can be concluded that rainfed maize yields under future changing climatic conditions maybe positively affected in winter growing season while it will be reduced in the spring growing season, mainly due to increasing drought stress. Therefore, irrigation will be crucial key for spring maize production in the future to mitigate the effects of changing climate on crop water availability.

title: Illiberalism in its epoch: The emergence of modern illiberalism as a consequence of the Global War on Terror
Creators: name: Hamad, Sam Charles
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2024

description: The aim of this thesis is to look at the extent to which the Global War on Terror (GWOT) played a role in the emergence of the phenomenon of modern illiberalism.

While 9/11 was undoubtedly a paradigm-shifting event in global and local politics, this work argues that the GWOT was a specific ideological response to those attacks. Moreover, the particulars of that response contributed to the rise of modern illiberalism in various ways.

In order to best understand how the GWOT played a role in the emergence of modern illiberalism, it was necessary to examine modern illiberalism in practice. This work includes case studies and analyses of Orban’s Hungary, Putin’s Russia, and the 'counter-jihadist' ideology of the Islamophobic terrorist Anders Behring Breivik. It examines how the consequences and dynamics of the GWOT, often functioning inadvertently, shaped key aspects of their methods, beliefs, and reactions.

It concludes the GWOT was a major contributing factor to what this work terms the ‘epoch of illiberalism’ that describes a significant aspect of global politics. That is not to say that illiberalism would not exist if not for the GWOT, as it obviously preceded it, but, rather, that without the GWOT, modern illiberalism, as a phenomenon in itself, would be both quantitatively and qualitatively different.
Gauge groups and matter spectra in F-theory compactifications on genus-one fibered Calabi-Yau 4-folds without section - hypersurface and double cover constructions

description: We investigate gauge theories and matter contents in F-theory compactifications on families of genus-one fibered Calabi-Yau 4-folds lacking a global section. To construct families of genus-one fibered Calabi-Yau 4-folds that lack a global section, we consider two constructions: hypersurfaces in a product of projective spaces, and double covers of a product of projective spaces. We consider specific forms of defining equations for these genus-one fibrations, so that genus-one fibers possess complex multiplications of specific orders. These symmetries enable a detailed analysis of gauge theories. $E_6$, $E_7$, and $SU(5)$ gauge groups arise in some models. Discriminant components intersect with one another in the constructed models, and therefore, discriminant components contain matter curves. We deduce potential matter spectra and Yukawa couplings.

description: With the spread of COVID-19 over the world, the need arose for fast and precise automatic triage mechanisms to decelerate the spread of the disease by reducing human efforts e.g. for image-based diagnosis. Although the literature has shown promising efforts in this direction, reported results do not consider the variability of CT scans acquired under varying circumstances, thus rendering resulting models unfit for use on data acquired using e.g. different scanner technologies. While COVID-19 diagnosis can now be done efficiently using PCR tests, this use case exemplifies the need for a methodology to overcome data variability issues in order to make medical image analysis models more widely applicable. In this paper, we explicitly address the variability issue using the example of COVID-19 diagnosis and propose a novel generative approach that aims at erasing the differences induced by e.g. the imaging technology while simultaneously introducing minimal changes to the CT scans through leveraging the idea of deep auto-encoders. The proposed prepossessing architecture (PrepNet) (i) is jointly trained on multiple CT scan datasets and (ii) is capable of extracting improved discriminative features for improved diagnosis. Experimental results on three public datasets (SARS-COVID-2, UCSD COVID-CT, MosMed) show that our model improves cross-dataset generalization by up to $11.84$ percentage points despite a minor drop in within dataset performance.

Parameterized post Newtonian approximation in a teleparallel model of dark energy with a boundary term
Creators: name: Sadjadi, H. Mohseni

Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)

description: We study the parameterized post-Newtonian approximation in teleparallel model of gravity with a scalar field. The scalar field is non-minimally coupled to the scalar torsion as well as to the boundary term introduced in [1]. We show that, in contrast to the case where the scalar field is only coupled to the scalar torsion, the presence of the new coupling affects the parameterized post-Newtonian parameters. These parameters for different situations are obtained and discussed.

Evaluation of some evapotranspiration estimation models under CO2 increasing concentrations: A review

Year: 2020

description: The total volume of CO2 emissions is building up dramatically, and because of the effect of this gas on the growth, physiology, and biochemistry of plants, it is becoming increasingly necessary to look into the impact of the relentless rise of carbon dioxide. Although there are several developed approaches that tried to model the canopy resistance, many of these methodologies ignored the effect of CO2 or were not incorporated with the existing evapotranspiration calculation methodologies, mainly due to the complexity of the modeling procedure and the short time framework of the conducted studies. This review explores the few models estimating crop water requirements that account for this effect and examines their assumptions and theories. The inclusion of canopy resistance models in evapotranspiration calculation may be of questionable utility without improvements in some modeling aspects, such as the relationship between the stomatal conductance and CO2 and the climatic variables taken in consideration in the modeling process.

description: Semiconductor InSb nanosheet/hexagonal boron nitride (hBN)/graphite trilayers are fabricated, and single- and double-gate devices made from the trilayers are realized and characterized. The InSb nanosheets employed in the trilayer devices are epitaxially grown, free-standing, zincblende crystals and are in micrometer lateral sizes. The hBN and graphite flakes are obtained by exfoliation. Each trilayer is made by successively stacking an InSb nanosheet on an hBN flake and on a graphite flake using a home-made alignment stacking/transfer setup. The fabricated single- and double-gate devices are characterized by electrical and/or magnetotransport measurements. In all these devices, the graphite and hBN flakes are employed as the bottom gates and the gate dielectrics. The measurements of a fabricated single bottom-gate field-effect device show that the InSb nanosheet in the device has an electron field-effect mobility of ~7300 cm$^2$V$^{-1}$s$^{-1}$ and a low gate hysteresis of ~0.05 V at 1.9 K. The measurements of a double-gate Hall-bar device show that both the top and the bottom gate exhibit strong capacitive couplings to the InSb nanosheet channel and can thus tune the nanosheet channel conduction effectively. The electron Hall mobility in the InSb nanosheet of the Hall-bar device is extracted to be larger than 1.1$\times$10$^4$ cm$^2$V$^{-1}$s$^{-1}$ at a sheet electron density of ~6.1$\times$10$^{11}$ cm$^{-2}$ and 1.9 K and, thus, the device exhibits well-defined Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations.

description: We design a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) which studies correlation between discretized inverse temperature and spin configuration of 2D Ising model and show that it can find a feature of the phase transition without teaching any a priori information for it. We also define a new order parameter via the CNN and show that it provides well approximated critical inverse temperature. In addition, we compare the activation functions for convolution layer and find that the Rectified Linear Unit (ReLU) is important to detect the phase transition of 2D Ising model.

Is ozone a reliable proxy for molecular oxygen? I. The O2-O3 relationship for Earth-like atmospheres

description: Molecular oxygen (O2) paired with a reducing gas is regarded as a promising biosignature pair for the atmospheric characterization of terrestrial exoplanets. In circumstances when O2 may not be detectable in a planetary atmosphere (e.g., at mid-IR wavelengths) it has been suggested that ozone (O3), the photochemical product of O2, could be used as a proxy to infer the presence of O2. However, O3 production has a nonlinear dependence on O2 and is strongly influenced by the UV spectrum of the host star. To evaluate the reliability of O3 as a proxy for O2, we used Atmos, a 1D coupled climate/photochemistry code, to study the O2-O3 relationship for "Earth-like" habitable zone planets around a variety of stellar hosts (G0V-M5V) and O2 abundances. Overall, we found that the O2-O3 relationship differed significantly with stellar hosts and resulted in different trends for hotter stars (G0V-K2V) vs cooler stars (K5V-M5V). Planets orbiting hotter host stars counter-intuitively experience an increase in O3 when O2 levels are initially decreased from 100% Earth's present atmospheric level (PAL), with a maximum O3 abundance occurring at 25-55% PAL O2. As O2 abundance initially decreases, larger amounts of UV photons capable of O2 photolysis reach the lower (denser) regions of the atmosphere where O3 production is more efficient, resulting in these increased O3 levels. This effect does not occur for cooler host stars (K5V-M5V), as the weaker incident UV flux does not allow O3 formation to occur at dense enough regions of the atmosphere where the faster O3 production can outweigh a smaller source of O2 from which to create O3. Overall it will be extremely difficult (or impossible) to infer precise O2 levels from an O3 measurement, however, with information about the UV spectrum of the host star and context clues, O3 will provide valuable information about potential surface habitability of an exoplanet.

Effect of shading on photosynthesis of greenhouse hydroponic cucumber crops
Creators: name: Kitta, Evangelini

Year: 2020

description: In this work an attempt was made to investigate the effect of shading on photosynthesis rate, transpiration rate and stomatal conductance of a cucumber cultivation in a greenhouse. To this end, autumnal hydroponic cultivation of cucumbers was installed in three same arched greenhouses with lateral ventilation openings at the University of Thessaly experimental farm in Velestino, Greece. One of the greenhouses was used as a control (without shading), the other two were shaded using two different shading nets (shading intensity of 35% and 50%). In the hydroponic cucumber cultivation, a series of crop photosynthesis measurements were performed for two months on leaves of randomly selected plants per greenhouse under natural illumination and using artificial illumination conditions of 1000 μmol m-2 s-1 with the LCpro+ instrument. Statistical processing of the results showed that shading reduced photosynthesis of the cucumber leaf almost linearly. Furthermore, artificial illumination measurements allowed us to conclude that shaded plants do not acclimate to shade conditions and respond directly to lighting conditions which practically enhances the usefulness of periodic shading as a tool for improving the microclimate in greenhouses.
