description: A multi-fidelity simulator is a numerical model, in which one of the inputs controls a trade-off between the realism and the computational cost of the simulation. Our goal is to estimate the probability of exceeding a given threshold on a multi-fidelity stochastic simulator. We propose a fully Bayesian approach based on Gaussian processes to compute the posterior probability distribution of this probability. We pay special attention to the hyper-parameters of the model. Our methodology is illustrated on an academic example.

description: We present a finite temperature ($T$) study of the t-J model on the two-dimensional triangular lattice for the negative hopping $t$, as relevant for the electron-doped Na$_x$CoO$_2$ (NCO). To understand several aspects of this system, we study the $T$-dependent chemical potential, specific heat, magnetic susceptibility, and the dynamic Hall-coefficient across the entire doping range. We show systematically, how this simplest model for strongly correlated electrons describes a crossover as function of doping ($x$) from a Pauli-like weakly spin-correlated metal close to the band-limit (density $n=2$) to the Curie-Weiss metallic phase ($1.5

description: A packing of translates of a convex domain in the Euclidean plane is said to be totally separable if any two packing elements can be separated by a line disjoint from the interior of every packing element. This notion was introduced by G. Fejes Tóth and L. Fejes Tóth (1973) and has attracted significant attention. In this paper we prove an analogue of Oler's inequality for totally separable translative packings of convex domains and then we derive from it some new results. This includes finding the largest density of totally separable translative packings of an arbitrary convex domain and finding the smallest area convex hull of totally separable packings (resp., totally separable soft packings) generated by given number of translates of a convex domain (resp., soft convex domain). Finally, we determine the largest covering ratio (that is, the largest fraction of the plane covered by the soft disks) of an arbitrary totally separable soft disk packing with given soft parameter.

The Paradoxical Forces for the Classical Electromagnetic Lag Associated with the Aharonov-Bohm Phase Shift

description: The classical electromagnetic lag assocated with the Aharonov-Bohm phase shift is obtained by using a Darwin-Lagrangian analysis similar to that given by Coleman and Van Vleck to identify the puzzling forces of the Shockley-James paradox. The classical forces cause changes in particle velocities and so produce a relative lag leading to the same phase shift as predicted by Aharonov and Bohm and observed in experiments. An experiment is proposed to test for this lag aspect implied by the classical analysis but not present in the currently-accepted quantum topological description of the phase shift.

description: This research was done to investigate the fate and transport of a simulated contaminant spill into Wachusett Reservoir using the CE-QUAL-W2 model. The reservoir is located in central Massachusetts (north east of Worcester) and was first filled in 1908. The Massachusetts Water Resource Authority (MWRA) uses the reservoir as a primary source of drinking water for the metropolitan Boston area. The 65-billion-gallon reservoir is replenished by 9 tributaries and also supplemented by the transfer of water from Quabbin Reservoir (412 billion-gallon capacity) through the Quabbin Aqueduct. This transfer is used to meet system water demands, manage the water surface elevation at the Wachusett Reservoir and improve Wachusett water quality. The MWRA withdraws reservoir water at the Cosgrove Intake (CIT) where it flows by gravity to the John J. Carroll Water Treatment Plant at Walnut Hill in Marlborough.

Dust Formation in Primordial Type II Supernovae

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2000
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We have investigated the formation of dust in the ejecta of Type II supernovae (SNe), mostly of primordial composition, to answer the question of where are the first solid particles formed in the universe. However, we have also considered non-zero progenitor's metallicity values up to Z=Zsun. The calculations are based on standard nucleation theory and the scheme has been first tested on the well studied case of SN1987A, yielding results that are in agreement with the available data. We find that: i) the first dust grains are predominantly made of silicates, amorphous carbon (AC), magnetite, and corundum; ii) the largest grains are the AC ones, with sizes around 300 A, whereas other grain types have smaller radii, around 10-20 A. The grain size distribution depends somewhat on the thermodynamics of the ejecta expansion and variations in the results by a factor ~ 2 might occur within reasonable estimates of the relevant parameters. Also, and for the same reason, the grain size distribution, is essentially unaffected by metallicity changes. The predictions on the amount of dust formed are very robust: for Z=0, we find that SNe with masses in the range (12-35) Msun produce about 0.08 Msun < M_dust < 0.3 Msun of dust/SN. The above range increases by roughly 3 times as the metallicity is increased to solar values. We discuss the implications and the cosmological consequences of the results.

description: Using a quantum theory including spin-splitting effect in diluted magnetic semiconductors, we study the dependence of tunneling magnetoresistance (TMR) on barrier thickness, temperature and applied voltage in GaMnAs/GaAs/GaMnAs heterostructures. TMR ratios more than 65% are obtained at zero temperature, when one GaAs monolayer ($\approx$ 0.565 nm) is used as a tunnel barrier. It is also shown that the TMR ratio decreases rapidly with increasing the barrier thickness and applied voltage, however at high voltages and low thicknesses, the TMR first increases and then decreases. Our model calculations well explain the main features of the recent experimental observations.

description: We conducted high-sensitivity, high-velocity resolution CO(1-0) observations in a region containing a portion of the diffuse molecular cloud MBM 53 to determine whether weak CO emission was present. The results of our observations increase the amount of CO-detectable molecular gas in the region by a factor of two. The increased molecular mass for the cloud, if applicable to the molecular clouds in the entire Pegasus-Pisces region, decreases the dark molecular gas content from 58% of the total H2 mass to ~ 30%. If the results for MBM53 are applicable to other diffuse clouds, then the fraction of dark gas directly detectable via sensitive CO(1-0) observations in diffuse molecular clouds is similar to that predicted by models for Giant Molecular Clouds.

description: Two-photon absorption photoacoustic tomography (TP-PAT) is a recent hybrid imaging modality that aims at reconstructing two-photon absorption properties of heterogeneous media from measured ultrasound signals generated by the photoacoustic effect. While there have been extensive experimental studies in recent years to show the great promises of TP-PAT, very little has been done on developing computational methods for quantitative image reconstruction in this imaging modality. In this work, we present a mathematical model for quantitative TP-PAT in diffusive media. We implemented a computational strategy for the reconstruction of the optical absorption coefficients, and provide numerical simulations based on synthetic acoustic data to demonstrate the feasibility of quantitative reconstructions in TP-PAT.

Darwin-Lagrangian Analysis for the Interaction of a Point Charge and a Magnet: Considerations Related to the Controversy Regarding the Aharonov-Bohm and Aharonov-Casher Phase Shifts
Creators: name: Boyer, Timothy H.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2005
Subjects: subject: Classical Physics (physics.class-ph)

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The classical electromagnetic interaction of a point charge and a magnet is discussed by first calculating the interaction of point charge with a simple model magnetic moment and then suggesting a multiparticle limit. The Darwin Lagrangian is used to analyze the electromagnetic behavior of the model magnetic moment (composed of two oppositely charged particles of different mass in an initially circular orbit) interacting with a passing point charge. The changing mangetic moment is found to put a force back on a passing charge; this force is of order 1/c^2 and depends upon the magnitude of the magnetic moment. It is suggested that in the limit of a multiparticle magnetic toroid, the electric fields of the passing charge are screened out of the body of the magnet while the magnetic fields penetrate into the magnet. This is consistent with our understanding of the penetration of electromagnetic velocity fields into ohmic conductors. Conservation laws are discussed. The work corresponds to a classical electromagnetic analysis of the interaction which is basic to understanding the controversy over the Aharonov-Bohm and Aharonov-Casher phase shifts and represents a refutation of the suggestions of Aharonov, Pearle, and Vaidman.

description: Milancipran HCl (MCP), an antidepressant drug used for treating depression belongs to serotonin andnorepinephrine reuptake inhibitor class of compounds. High bioavailability of MCP besides its rapidabsorption and elimination makes it a selective drug for prescription. On the other hand, MCP has pooraffinity towards transporting proteins. To date, there are no detailed studies which accounts for the pooraffinity of MCP with transporting proteins. Herein the present study brings out the binding capacity ofMCP with model transporting protein BSA by spectroscopic and molecular modelling studies. Florescencestudies demonstrated that MCP interacts with BSA with a binding constant of 5.32 ± 1.5 x 104M-1 byforming complex (static quenching) besides collisions (dynamic quenching). During interaction with MCP,6% of helical content of BSA was reduced and formed complex is stable up to 75oC as evident from CDstudies. MCP interacts with BSA at junction of domain I and domain II by forming hydrogen bonds withTYR 89 and ASP 86 and the aromatic ring of MCP involves in the hydrophobic interactions (Pi-Pi and PiSulphur).

description: The initial mass function (IMF) is a key ingredient in many studies of galaxy formation and evolution. Although the IMF is often assumed to be universal, there is continuing evidence that it is not universal. Spectroscopic studies that derive the IMF of the unresolved stellar populations of a galaxy often assume that this spectrum can be described by a single stellar population (SSP). To alleviate these limitations, in this paper we have developed a unique hierarchical Bayesian framework for modelling composite stellar populations (CSPs). Within this framework we use a parameterized IMF prior to regulate a direct inference of the IMF. We use this new framework to determine the number of SSPs that is required to fit a set of realistic CSP mock spectra. The CSP mock spectra that we use are based on semi-analytic models and have an IMF that varies as a function of stellar velocity dispersion of the galaxy. Our results suggest that using a single SSP biases the determination of the IMF slope to a higher value than the true slope, although the trend with stellar velocity dispersion is overall recovered. If we include more SSPs in the fit, the Bayesian evidence increases significantly and the inferred IMF slopes of our mock spectra converge, within the errors, to their true values. Most of the bias is already removed by using two SSPs instead of one. We show that we can reconstruct the variable IMF of our mock spectra for signal-to-noise ratios exceeding $\sim$75.

Global Simulations of the Inner Regions of Protoplanetary Disks with Comprehensive Disk Microphysics

description: The gas dynamics of weakly ionized protoplanetary disks (PPDs) is largely governed by the coupling between gas and magnetic fields, described by three non-ideal magnetohydrodynamical (MHD) effects (Ohmic, Hall, ambipolar). Previous local simulations incorporating these processes have revealed that the inner regions of PPDs are largely laminar accompanied by wind-driven accretion. We conduct 2D axisymmetric, fully global MHD simulations of these regions ($\sim1-20$ AU), taking into account all non-ideal MHD effects, with tabulated diffusion coefficients and approximate treatment of external ionization and heating. With net vertical field aligned with disk rotation, the Hall-shear instability strongly amplifies horizontal magnetic field, making the overall dynamics dependent on initial field configuration. Following disk formation, the disk likely relaxes into an inner zone characterized by asymmetric field configuration across the midplane that smoothly transitions to a more symmetric outer zone. Angular momentum transport is driven by both MHD winds and laminar Maxwell stress, with both accretion and decretion flows present at different heights, and modestly asymmetric winds from the two disk sides. With anti-aligned field polarity, weakly magnetized disks settle into an asymmetric field configuration with supersonic accretion flow concentrated at one side of disk surface, and highly asymmetric winds between the two disk sides. In all cases, the wind is magneto-thermal in nature characterized by mass loss rate exceeding the accretion rate. More strongly magnetized disks give more symmetric field configuration and flow structures. Deeper far-UV penetration leads to stronger and less stable outflows. Implications for observations and planet formation are also discussed.

Determination of Wave Function Functionals: The Constrained-Search--Variational Method

description: In a recent paper [Phys. Rev. Lett. \textbf{93}, 130401 (2004)], we proposed the idea of expanding the space of variations in variational calculations of the energy by considering the approximate wave function $ψ$ to be a functional of functions $ χ: ψ= ψ[χ]$ rather than a function. The space of variations is expanded because a search over the functions $χ$ can in principle lead to the true wave function. As the space of such variations is large, we proposed the constrained-search-- variational method whereby a constrained search is first performed over all functions $χ$ such that the wave function functional $ψ[χ]$ satisfies a physical constraint such as normalization or the Fermi-Coulomb hole sum rule, or leads to the known value of an observable such as the diamagnetic susceptibility, nuclear magnetic constant or Fermi contact term. A rigorous upper bound to the energy is then obtained by application of the variational principle. A key attribute of the method is that the wave function functional is accurate throughout space, in contrast to the standard variational method for which the wave function is accurate only in those regions of space contributing principally to the energy. In this paper we generalize the equations of the method to the determination of arbitrary Hermitian single-particle operators as applied to two-electron atomic and ionic systems. The description is general and applicable to both ground and excited states. A discussion on excited states in conjunction with the theorem of Theophilou is provided.

description: We report a room-temperature optical reflectivity study performed on [112]-oriented Cd$_3$As$_2$ single crystals over a broad energy range under external pressure up to 10 GPa. The abrupt drop of the band dispersion parameter ($z$-parameter) and the interruption of the gradual redshift of the bandgap at $\sim$4~GPa confirms the structural phase transition from a tetragonal to a monoclinic phase in this material. The pressure-induced increase of the overall optical conductivity at low energies and the continuous redshift of the high-energy bands indicate that the system evolves towards a topologically trivial metallic state, although a complete closing of the band gap could not be observed in the studied pressure range. Furthermore, a detailed investigation of the low-pressure regime suggests the possible existence of an intermediate state between 2 and 4~GPa , that might be a precursor of the structural phase transition or due to the lifted degeneracy of the Dirac nodes. Several optical parameters show yet another anomaly at 8~GPa, where low-temperature superconductivity was found in an earlier study.

description: We use series expansion methods to calculate the dispersion relation of the one-magnon excitations for the spin-1/2 triangular-lattice nearest-neighbor Heisenberg antiferromagnet above a three-sublattice ordered ground state. Several striking features are observed compared to the classical (large-S) spin-wave spectra. Whereas at low energies the dispersion is only weakly renormalized by quantum fluctuations, significant anomalies are observed at high energies. In particular, we find roton-like minima at special wave-vectors and strong downward renormalization in large parts of the Brillouin zone, leading to very flat or dispersionless modes. We present detailed comparison of our calculated excitation energies in the Brillouin zone with the spin-wave dispersion to order 1/S calculated recently by Starykh, Chubukov, and Abanov [cond-mat/0608002]. We find many common features but also some quantitative and qualitative differences. We show that at temperatures as low as 0.1J the thermally excited rotons make a significant contribution to the entropy. Consequently, unlike for the square lattice model, a non-linear sigma model description of the finite-temperature properties is only applicable at extremely low temperatures.

description: Bioinformatics has grown in adoption in many non-technical fields, advancing so rapidly that traditional bench scientists are finding it challenging to keep up with gold standard workflows. Complex bioinformatics data analyses become difficult to retain when learned using traditional teaching methods or static formats, which are often not updated or available for feedback. As a continuously maintained R package, BiocSwirl makes learning bioinformatics concepts hands-on through modular, self-paced, interactive course material targeted at beginners. Our courses communicate a wide range of concepts, from first steps in R and data science to high-level analyses and visualizations of biological datasets from within the R console. BiocSwirl’s primary feature is the ability to provide real-time feedback on the user’s R syntax that promotes good coding practices, open science, and reproducibility in students. Our currently available curriculum includes introductions to RNAseq, scRNAseq, ChIPseq, and Biostatistics as well as a “Data Science for Life Scientists” course. Ultimately, BiocSwirl removes the barrier to entry into R Data Science in bioinformatics while instilling a foundation of open science practices for students and researchers.

description: The black hole candidate 1E 1740.7-2942 is one of the strongest hard X-ray sources in the Galactic Center region. No counterparts in longer wavelengths have been identified for this object yet. The presence of characteristic timing signatures in the flux history of X-ray sources has been shown to be an important diagnostic tool for the properties of these systems. Using simultaneous data from NASA's Swift and ESA's INTEGRAL missions, we have found two periodic signatures at 12.61 $\pm$ 0.06 days and 171.1 $\pm$ 3.0 days in long-term hard X-ray light curves of 1E 1740.7-2942. We interpret those as the orbital and superorbital periods of the object, respectively. The reported orbital period is in good agreement with previous studies of 1E 1740.7-2942 using NASA's RXTE data. We present here the first firm evidence of a superorbital period for 1E 1740.7-2942, which has important implications for the nature of the binary system.

Spectrum Generating Affine Lie Algebras in Massive Field Theory

description: We present a new application of affine Lie algebras to massive quantum field theory in 2 dimensions, by investigating the $q\to 1$ limit of the q-deformed affine $\hat{sl(2)}$ symmetry of the sine-Gordon theory, this limit occuring at the free fermion point. We describe how radial quantization leads to a quasi-chiral factorization of the space of fields. The conserved charges which generate the affine Lie algebra split into two independent affine algebras on this factorized space, each with level 1 in the anti-periodic sector. The space of fields in the anti-periodic sector can be organized using level-$1$ highest weight representations, if one supplements the $\slh$ algebra with the usual local integrals of motion. Using the integrals of motion, a momentum space bosonization involving vertex operators is formulated. This leads to a new way of computing form-factors, as vacuum expectation values in momentum space.

description: Background/Question/Methods

 Grasslands are vital to landscape recreation and nature protection. Nowadays, areas of native grassland have decreased and become fragmented particularly in industrial countries. As a result, grassland restoration is broadly applied to preserve biodiversity and improve ecosystem services. Although the ecotypes of dominant species in grassland have been studied, it is still unclear: 1. if a temporal shift of grassland taxonomic, phylogenetic, and functional diversity occurs during restoration; and 2. if ecotypic variation among the dominant species affects grassland taxonomic, phylogenetic, and functional diversity. We established a reciprocal common garden to study the long-term effect of different ecotypes of the dominant grasses on restoration at Carbondale, Illinois, in 2009. Species composition was measured in two 1 m2 quadrats per plot in 2012, 2014, 2018, and 2019, retaining the maximum percentage canopy cover obtained by each species from each survey for analyses. Linear mixed models were applied to analyze the effect of ecotypes and year on taxonomic, phylogenetic, and functional diversity.

 Results/Conclusions

 Taxonomic richness decreased 59% from 2012 (18.2±3.8 per m2) to 2019 (7.5±3.1 per m2), whereas phylogenetic diversity (phylogenetic sesMPD), and functional diversity (functional sesMPD) indicated gradual shifts from over-dispersed communities in 2012 to clustered patterns in 2019. The generalized linear mixed model showed significant differences in taxonomic richness in an interaction between year and ecotype (Wald’s-χ2=15.44, P=0.02). Meanwhile, the linear mixed model found significant effects on both phylogenetic and functional diversity in interactions between year and ecotype (F6,63=2.43, P=0.04; F6,63=2.33, P=0.04, respectively). For instance, non-local ecotypes CKS or EKS in 2012 presented highly over-dispersed (positive sesMPD) phylogenetic and functional patterns among all sampling units. In contrast, the phylogenetic and functional patterns of local ecotype SIL became highly clustered (negative sesMPD) in 2019. Our results support a hypothesis that ecotypic differentiation among the dominant species may affect temporal shifts in biodiversity during grassland restoration, influencing species presence and noticeably changing the phylogenetic and functional community structure. Based on our research, when appropriate grass sources are available, restoration with transfer can be an efficient and valuable ecosystem restoration technique.

description: Introduction: Neck/back pain is one of the common health problems associated with significant impact on health resulting in sickness absenteeism. Neck/back pain is one of important causes of disability adjusted life years worldwide. The Objectives of study were: To identify various occupations related risk factors and their possible role in occurrence of back pain/neck pain and Visual analogue scale(VAS) assessment of their perceived pain. Methods: The study was conducted at one of the tertiary care hospital at Ahmedabad city, India. All patients above age of 18 years attending physiotherapy department for treatment of back pain/neck pain and gave consent were taken as study participants. Information about certain body postures in their lifestyle or at workplace which can have effects on back pain/neck pain were asked. VAS for perceived pain was anchored by “no pain” (score 0) and “pain as bad as it could be” (score 100). Data were entered in MS Excel and analyzed by frequency, contingency coefficient and Goodman & Kruskal’s Gamma test. Result and Conclusion: Total of 512 participants were included in study, among which 53 & 392 participants had Neck pain and Back pain alone, respectively, while 67 participants had both Neck and Back pain. Age, Marital status, socioeconomic class, BMI and type of occupation revealed statistically significant association with severity of pain. Various body postures like prolonged sitting/ standing, frequent bending at waist/knee, Pulling/Pushing heavy objects, frequent weight lifting > 10 kg. and repetitive movement of back/neck revealed as statistically significant risk factors for back/neck pain.

description: We report the low temperature magnetic properties of the DyScO$_3$ perovskite, which were characterized by means of single crystal and powder neutron scattering, and by magnetization measurements. Below $T_{\mathrm{N}}=3.15$ K, Dy$^{3+}$ moments form an antiferromagnetic structure with an easy axis of magnetization lying in the $ab$-plane. The magnetic moments are inclined at an angle of $\sim\pm{28}^{\circ}$ to the $b$-axis. We show that the ground state Kramers doublet of Dy$^{3+}$ is made up of primarily $|\pm 15/2\rangle$ eigenvectors and well separated by crystal field from the first excited state at $E_1=24.9$ meV. This leads to an extreme Ising single-ion anisotropy, $M_{\perp}/M_{\|}\sim{0.05}$. The transverse magnetic fluctuations, which are proportional to $M^{2}_{\perp}/M^{2}_{\|}$, are suppressed and only moment fluctuations along the local Ising direction are allowed. We also found that the Dy-Dy dipolar interactions along the crystallographic $c$-axis are 2-4 times larger than in-plane interactions.

description: Abstract OBJECTIVES. The aim was to provide an affordable method for computing socio-economic deprivation indices at regional level, to reveal the specific aspects of the relationship between socio-economic (SE) inequalities and health outcomes. The Umbria region Socio-Health Index (USHI) was computed and compared to the Italian National Deprivation Index at Umbria region level (NDI-U). METHODS. The USHI was computed by applying factor analysis to census tract SE variables correlated to the general mortality and validated in comparison with the NDI-U. RESULTS. Overall mortality presented linear positive USHI trends, while trends for NDI-U resulted non-linear or not-significant. Similar and relevant results were obtained for specific causes of death by deprivation groups, gender and age. CONCLUSIONS. The USHI better describes a local population by SE health-related status. Therefore, policy makers could adopt this method to obtain a better picture of SE-associated health conditions in regional population and target strategies for reducing inequalities in health.
