The pleasures and pains of studying the two-type Richardson model
Creators: name: Deijfen, Maria
name: Häggström, Olle
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Probability (math.PR)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: This paper provides a survey of known results and open problems for the two-type Richardson model, which is a stochastic model for competition on $\mathbb{Z}^d$. In its simplest formulation, the Richardson model describes the evolution of a single infectious entity on $\mathbb{Z}^d$, but more recently the dynamics have been extended to comprise two competing growing entities. For this version of the model, the main question is whether there is a positive probability for both entities to simultaneously grow to occupy infinite parts of the lattice, the conjecture being that the answer is yes if and only if the entities have the same intensity. In this paper attention focuses on the two-type model, but the most important results for the one-type version are also described.

description: Consider the Wronskians of the classical Hermite polynomials $$H_{λ, l}(x):=\mathrm{Wr}(H_l(x),H_{k_1}(x),\ldots, H_{k_n}(x)), \quad l \in \mathbb Z_{\geq 0},$$ where $k_i=λ_i+n-i, \,\, i=1,\dots, n$ and $λ=(λ_1, \dots, λ_n)$ is a partition. Gómez-Ullate et al showed that for a special class of partitions the corresponding polynomials are orthogonal and dense among all polynomials with certain inner product, but in contrast to the usual case have some degrees missing (so called exceptional orthogonal polynomials). We generalise their results to all partitions by considering complex contours of integration and non-positive Hermitian products. The corresponding polynomials are orthogonal and dense in a finite-codimensional subspace of $\mathbb C[x]$ satisfying certain quasi-invariance conditions. A Laurent version of exceptional orthogonal polynomials, related to monodromy-free trigonometric Schrödinger operators, is also presented.

Lessons from Bosnia: the birth of the ESDP
Creators: name: Palmerin, Cynthia Vanessa
Publisher: name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Year: 2011

description: The handling of the Bosnian War was a complete failure and humiliation for the EU. They were forced to face the tragedies that were caused by their inability to act more decisively. The events surrounding the war convinced EU leaders that it was time to rethink European security. They created the European Security Defense Policy, designed to unify the diverse opinions of member states under one common foreign security policy. The new policy was to provide the EU with the necessary tools to prevent or manage regional conflict should it arise again. Fifteen years after Bosnia, the ESDP continues to grow and is showing signs of success. With a few more years of continued support it can become a fully effective foreign policy.

Spatial motif discovery in papain-like cysteine protease family
Creators: name: Chen, Yetian
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2008

description: Spatial motifs, which are amino acid packing patterns, occur frequently within a set of proteins with some common specific functions and features. In this study, we report the application of a novel frequent subgraph mining algorithm to retrieve conserved spatial motifs from protein 3D structures of Papain-like cysteine protease family. Each of the frequent spatial motifs we identified were found highly specific to the PCP family, measured by P-value<10-49. And we showed that the combination of these family specific motifs can discriminate between the PCP family members and the background (a nonredundant subset of PDB) with very good sensitivity and predicative accuracy. These spatial motifs were found to cover either structurally important or functionally important sites, such as the catalytic dyad and the hydrophobic pocket that determines the substrate specificity. A PROSITE-like consensus sequence pattern assembled by mapping these structural motifs to sequence level identifies the PCP sequences in Swiss-Prot database with 100% precision and good recall. These suggest that structurally and functionally specific amino acid packing patterns or motifs can be discovered by computational and statistical geometry analysis of protein structures and used to annotate protein structures and sequences.
Metric space analysis of systems immersed in a magnetic field

Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)

description: Understanding the behavior of quantum systems subject to magnetic fields is of fundamental importance and underpins quantum technologies. However, modeling these systems is a complex task, because of many-body interactions and because many-body approaches such as density functional theory get complicated by the presence of a vector potential into the system Hamiltonian. We use the metric space approach to quantum mechanics to study the effects of varying the magnetic vector potential on quantum systems. The application of this technique to model systems in the ground state provides insight into the fundamental mapping at the core of current density functional theory, which relates the many-body wavefunction, particle density and paramagnetic current density. We show that the role of the paramagnetic current density in this relationship becomes crucial when considering states with different magnetic quantum numbers, $m$. Additionally, varying the magnetic field uncovers a richer complexity for the "band structure" present in ground state metric spaces, as compared to previous studies varying scalar potentials. The robust nature of the metric space approach is strengthened by demonstrating the gauge invariance of the related metric for the paramagnetic current density. We go beyond ground state properties and apply this approach to excited states. The results suggest that, under specific conditions, a universal behavior may exist for the relationships between the physical quantities defining the system.
Impacts of suppressing guide on information spreading

description: It is quite common that guides are introduced to suppress the information spreading in modern society for different purposes. In this paper, an agent-based model is established to quantitatively analyze the impacts of suppressing guides on information spreading. We find that the spreading threshold depends on the attractiveness of the information and the topology of the social network with no suppressing guides at all. Usually, one would expect that the existence of suppressing guides in the spreading procedure may result in less diffusion of information within the overall network. However, we find that sometimes the opposite is true: the manipulating nodes of suppressing guides may lead to more extensive information spreading when there are audiences with the reversal mind. These results can provide valuable theoretical references to public opinion guidance on various information, e.g., rumor or news spreading.

description: Plasmonic dark modes are pure near-field resonances since their dipole moments are vanishing in far field. These modes are particularly interesting to enhance nonlinear light-matter interaction at the nanometer scale because radiative losses are mitigated therefore increasing the intrinsic lifetime of the resonances. However, the excitation of dark modes by standard far field approaches is generally inefficient because the symmetry of the electromagnetic near-field distribution has a poor overlap with the excitation field. Here, we demonstrate the selective optical excitation of bright and dark plasmonic modes of single gold nanorods by spatial phase-shaping the excitation beam. Using two-photon luminescence measurements, we unambiguously identify the symmetry and the order of the emitting modes and analyze their angular distribution by Fourier-space imaging.

The relationship between serum and salivary cortisol levels in reponse to different exercise intensities
Creators: name: VanBruggen, Mitch D.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2010

description: This study examined the effect of exercise intensity on the serum and salivary cortisol responses of endurance-trained males. Subjects (n = 12) rested for 30 minutes (control) and exercised for 30 minutes at 40%, 60%, or 80% of VO2 max on separate days. Serum and saliva samples were collected pre-trial, post-trial, and 30 minutes post-recovery. The overall correlation between serum and saliva in all matched pairs was significant (r = 0.548; p<0.005). Cortisol responses increased significantly with both measures in response to exercise (p<0.05). However, exercise peak serum responses occurred at the post-trial time while saliva peaked at the post-recovery time. The highest correlations between serum-saliva at individual sampling times were during post-recovery. Findings suggest that salivary cortisol sampling may be a useful technique in some circumstances if confounding factors are considered and controlled.

description: In this paper we consider three dimensional BTZ black holes with three models of nonlinear electrodynamics as source. Calculating heat capacity, we study the stability and phase transitions of these black holes. We show that Maxwell, logarithmic and exponential theories yield only type one phase transition which is related to the root(s) of heat capacity. Whereas for correction form of nonlinear electrodynamics, heat capacity contains two roots and one divergence point. Next, we use geometrical approach for studying classical thermodynamical behavior of the system. We show that Weinhold and Ruppeiner metrics fail to provide fruitful results and the consequences of the Quevedo approach are not completely matched to the heat capacity results. Then, we employ a new metric for solving this problem. We show that this approach is successful and all divergencies of its Ricci scalar and phase transition points coincide. We also show that there is no phase transition for uncharged BTZ black holes.

description: We derive a complete pure de Sitter supergravity action with non-linearly realized supersymmetry and its rigid limit, the Volkov-Akulov action, from the corresponding models with linear supersymmetry, by computing the path integral in the limit of infinite sgoldstino mass. In this, we use a non-Gaussian functional integration formula that was recently discovered in a derivation of de Sitter supergravity from the superconformal theory. We also present explicit examples of pure dS supergravity and the case with one matter multiplet. These two simple examples serve as a test and a demo of the universal action formula valid for de Sitter supergravities with general matter coupling.

description: This paper is concerned with the construction of graded meshes for approximating so-called singular solutions of elliptic boundary value problems by means of multipatch discontinuous Galerkin Isogeometric Analysis schemes. Such solutions appear, for instance, in domains with re-entrant corners on the boundary of the computational domain, in problems with changing boundary conditions, in interface problems, or in problems with singular source terms. Making use of the analytic behavior of the solution, we construct the graded meshes in the neighborhoods of such singular points following a multipatch approach. We prove that appropriately graded meshes lead to the same convergence rates as in the case of smooth solutions with approximately the same number of degrees of freedom. Representative numerical examples are studied in order to confirm the theoretical convergence rates and to demonstrate the efficiency of the mesh grading technology in Isogeometric Analysis.

description: In the context of a physical theory, two devices, A and B, described by the theory are called incompatible if the theory does not allow the existence of a third device C that would have both A and B as its components. Incompatibility is a fascinating aspect of physical theories, especially in the case of quantum theory. The concept of incompatibility gives a common ground for several famous impossibility statements within quantum theory, such as ``no-cloning'' and ``no information without disturbance''; these can be all seen as statements about incompatibility of certain devices. The purpose of this paper is to give a concise overview of some of the central aspects of incompatibility.

We particularly focused on the influence of the Rb atoms diffusing in and out of the laser beam. We showed that this effect modifies the shape of both CPT and Raman-Ramsey resonances, as well as their projected performance for CPT clock applications. In particular we found that at moderate buffer gas pressures RR-CPT did not improved the projected atomic clock stability compare to the regular steady-state CPT resonance.

Random intersection graphs with tunable degree distribution and clustering
Creators: name: Deijfen, Maria

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Probability (math.PR)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: A random intersection graph is constructed by assigning independently to each vertex a subset of a given set and drawing an edge between two vertices if and only if their respective subsets intersect. In this paper a model is developed in which each vertex is given a random weight, and vertices with larger weights are more likely to be assigned large subsets. The distribution of the degree of a given vertex is characterized and is shown to depend on the weight of the vertex. In particular, if the weight distribution is a power law, the degree distribution will be so as well. Furthermore, an asymptotic expression for the clustering in the graph is derived. By tuning the parameters of the model, it is possible to generate a graph with arbitrary clustering, expected degree and -- in the power law case -- tail exponent.

Simultaneous Wireless Information and Power Transfer in Cooperative Relay Networks with Rateless Codes

description: This paper investigates the simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) in cooperative relay networks, where a relay harvests energy from the radio frequency (RF) signals transmitted by a source and then uses the harvested energy to assist the information transmission from the source to its destination. Both source and relay transmissions use rateless code, which allows the destination to employ any of the two information receiving strategies, i.e., the mutual information accumulation (IA) and the energy accumulation (EA). The SWIPT-enabled relay employs three different SWIPT receiver architectures, the ideal receiver and two practical receivers (i.e., the power splitting (PS) and the time switch (TS) receivers). Accordingly, three relaying protocols, namely, ideal protocol, PS protocol and TS protocol, are presented. In order to explore the system performance limits with these three protocols, optimization problems are formulated to maximize their achievable information rates. For the ideal protocol, explicit expressions of the optimal solutions are derived. For the PS protocol, a linear-search algorithm is designed to solve the non-convex problems. For the TS protocol, two solving methods are presented. Numerical experiments are carried out to validate our analysis and algorithms, which also show that, with the same SWIPT receiver, the IA-based system outperforms the EA-based system, while with the same information receiving strategy, PS protocol outperforms TS protocol. Moreover, compared with conventional non-SWIPT and non-rateless-coded systems, the proposed protocols exhibit considerable performance gains, especially in relatively low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) regime. Besides, the effects of the source-destination direct link and the relay position on system performance are also discussed, which provides insights on SWIPT-enabled relay systems.

Evolution of a hybrid micro-macro entangled state of the qubit-oscillator system via the generalized rotating wave approximation

description: We study the evolution of the hybrid entangled states in a bipartite (ultra) strongly coupled qubit-oscillator system. Using the generalized rotating wave approximation the reduced density matrices of the qubit and the oscillator are obtained. The reduced density matrix of the oscillator yields the phase space quasi probability distributions such as the diagonal P-representation, the Wigner W-distribution and the Husimi Q-function. In the strong coupling regime the Q-function evolves to uniformly separated macroscopically distinct Gaussian peaks representing 'kitten' states at certain specified times that depend on multiple time scales present in the interacting system. For the ultra-strong coupling realm a large number of interaction-generated modes arise with a complete randomization of their phases. A stochastic averaging of the dynamical quantities sets in while leading to the decoherence of the system. The delocalization in the phase space of the oscillator is studied by using the Wehrl entropy. The negativity of the W-distribution, while registering its departure from the classical states, allows us to compare the information-theoretic measures such as the Wehrl entropy with the Wigner entropy. Other features of nonclassicality such as the existence of the squeezed states and appearance of negative values of the Mandel parameter are realized during the course of evolution of the bipartite system. In the parametric regime studied here these properties do not survive after a time-averaging process.

description: The constraints imposed on the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) parameter space by the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) Higgs mass limit and gluino mass lower bound are revisited. We also analyze the thermal relic abundance of lightest neutralino, which is the Lightest Supersymmetric Particle (LSP). We show that the combined LHC and relic abundance constraints rule out most of the MSSM parameter space except a very narrow region with very large $\tan β~(\sim 50)$. Within this region, we emphasize that the spin-independent scattering cross section of the LSP with a proton is less than the latest Large Underground Xenon (LUX) limit by at least two order of magnitudes. Finally, we argue that non-thermal Dark Matter (DM) scenario may relax the constraints imposed on the MSSM parameter space. Namely, the following regions are obtained: $m_0\simeq {\cal O}(4)$ TeV and $m_{1/2}\simeq 600$ GeV for low $\tanβ~(\sim 10)$; $m_0\sim m_{1/2} \simeq {\cal O}(1)$ TeV or $m_0 \simeq {\cal O}(4)$ TeV and $m_{1/2} \simeq 700$ GeV for large $\tan β~(\sim 50)$.

Tunable interaction of superconducting flux qubits in circuit QED

description: We propose to implement tunable interaction of superconducting flux qubits with cavity-assisted interaction and strong driving. The qubits have a three-level Lambda configuration, and the decay of the excited state will be greatly suppressed due to the effective large detuning. The implemented interaction is insensitive to the cavity field state and can be controlled by modulating the phase difference of the driving fields of the qubits. In particular, our scheme is based on the typical circuit QED setup and thus will provide a simple method towards the tunable interaction of superconducting qubits. Finally, we consider the generation of two and four qubits entangled states with the constructed interaction under the influence of typical decoherence effects.

The rhetoric of oppositional gender: Beyond Good and Evil as perspective by incongruity
Creators: name: Cordaro, Daniel
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2007

description: This study focuses on the significance of gender constructions in popular videogames, both in terms of how they are constituted rhetorically, and on how these constructions may be alternatively constructed. Utilizing critical methods growing out of the rhetorical theories of Kenneth Burke, this study critically analyzes what rhetorically constitutes popular, and often problematic, gender constructions in mainstream videogames. Building upon the work of various videogame theorists and scholars, the study also examines the possibilities of constituting alternative constructions of gender in videogames, particularly through the analysis of the game Beyond Good and Evil which exemplifies an oppositional rhetorical force toward common and stereotypical gender constructions utilized in contemporary videogames. By engaging the common constructions of videogame gender, and the game Beyond Good and Evil, critically this study continues the argument against more traditionally patriarchal constructions of gender in favor of greater interactive freedom for the user in constructing gender identities.

Growing networks with preferential addition and deletion of edges

description: A preferential attachment model for a growing network incorporating deletion of edges is studied and the expected asymptotic degree distribution is analyzed. At each time step $t=1,2,\ldots$, with probability $π_1>0$ a new vertex with one edge attached to it is added to the network and the edge is connected to an existing vertex chosen proportionally to its degree, with probability $π_2$ a vertex is chosen proportionally to its degree and an edge is added between this vertex and a randomly chosen other vertex, and with probability $π_3=1-π_1-π_2<1/2$ a vertex is chosen proportionally to its degree and a random edge of this vertex is deleted. The model is intended to capture a situation where high-degree vertices are more dynamic than low-degree vertices in the sense that their connections tend to be changing. A recursion formula is derived for the expected asymptotic fraction $p_k$ of vertices with degree $k$, and solving this recursion reveals that, for $π_3<1/3$, we have $p_k\sim k^{-(3-7π_3)/(1-3π_3)}$, while, for $π_3>1/3$, the fraction $p_k$ decays exponentially at rate $(π_1+π_2)/2π_3$. There is hence a non-trivial upper bound for how much deletion the network can incorporate without loosing the power-law behavior of the degree distribution. The analytical results are supported by simulations.
