Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We propose an algorithm for the construction of higher order gauge field theories from a superfield formulation within the Batalin-Vilkovisky formalism. This is a generalization of the superfield algorithm recently considered by Batalin and Marnelius. This generalization seems to allow for non-topological gauge field theories as well as alternative representations of topological ones. A five dimensional non-abelian Chern-Simons theory and a topological Yang-Mills theory are treated as examples.

description: A novel modified nonlinear Schrödinger equation is presented. Through a travelling wave ansatz, the equation is transformed into a nonlinear ODE which is then solved exactly and analytically. The soliton solution is characterised in terms of waveform and wave speed, and the dependence of these properties upon parameters in the equation is detailed. It is discovered that some parameter settings yield unique waveforms while others yield degeneracy, with two distinct waveforms per set of parameter values. The uni-waveform and bi-waveform regions of parameter space are identified. It is also found that each waveform has two modes of propagation with shared directionality but distinct speeds. Finally, the equation is shown to be a model for the propagation of a quantum mechanical exciton, such as an electron, through a collectively-oscillating plane lattice with which the exciton interacts. The physical implications of the soliton solution are discussed.

description: Studying the instanton-induced contributions to various hard exclusive reactions provides physical insight into the transition from the non-perturbative to the perturbative regime of QCD. To this end, we study the leading-instanton contribution to the electro-magnetic and transition formfactors, using an effective theory of the Instanton Liquid Model. We report predictions for the space-like electro-magnetic formfactor of the pion, as well as recent results for the Dirac formfactor of the proton.

description: We study the annihilation of topological defect pairs in the quasi-twodimensional (2D) geometry of freely suspended smectic films. This elementary process is at the basis of all models describing the statistics of complex defect patterns. We prepare pairs with opposite topological charges and retrieve the interaction mechanisms from their trajectories. The square-root dependence of the defect separation on the time until annihilation and the asymmetry in propagation velocities of the opponents predicted by theory are confirmed. The importance of defect orientations is demonstrated. Trajectories are in general curved, depending on the mutual orientations (phase mismatch) of the defects and on the orientation of the pair respective to the far, undisturbed director. The experiments provide the basis for an adaption of the theoretical models to the real complexity of the annihilation.

description: Microlensing observations of the Q0957+561 A,B have consistently shown evidence for structure in the quasar that has not been evident in available microlensing models, where the luminous source has been consistently modeled as a single large round structure. We show that the microlensing features can easily be reproduced by a luminous quasar model motivated by observations; a luminous inner accretion disc edge and outer ring-shaped structures where the emission lines form. Such a model can explain all of the features known from 24 years of Q0957 microlensing observations.

description: With the rapid development of COVID-19 into a global pandemic, there is an ever more urgent need for cheap, fast and reliable tools that can assist physicians in diagnosing COVID-19. Medical imaging such as CT can take a key role in complementing conventional diagnostic tools from molecular biology, and, using deep learning techniques, several automatic systems were demonstrated promising performances using CT or X-ray data. Here, we advocate a more prominent role of point-of-care ultrasound imaging to guide COVID-19 detection. Ultrasound is non-invasive and ubiquitous in medical facilities around the globe. Our contribution is threefold. First, we gather a lung ultrasound (POCUS) dataset consisting of 1103 images (654 COVID-19, 277 bacterial pneumonia and 172 healthy controls), sampled from 64 videos. This dataset was assembled from various online sources, processed specifically for deep learning models and is intended to serve as a starting point for an open-access initiative. Second, we train a deep convolutional neural network (POCOVID-Net) on this 3-class dataset and achieve an accuracy of 89% and, by a majority vote, a video accuracy of 92% . For detecting COVID-19 in particular, the model performs with a sensitivity of 0.96, a specificity of 0.79 and F1-score of 0.92 in a 5-fold cross validation. Third, we provide an open-access web service (POCOVIDScreen) that is available at: https://pocovidscreen.org. The website deploys the predictive model, allowing to perform predictions on ultrasound lung images. In addition, it grants medical staff the option to (bulk) upload their own screenings in order to contribute to the growing public database of pathological lung ultrasound images. Dataset and code are available from: https://github.com/jannisborn/covid19_pocus_ultrasound. NOTE: This preprint is superseded by our paper in Applied Sciences: https://doi.org/10.3390/app11020672

Thermal Transport Phenomena in Carbonate Particles Undergoing Chemical Looping
Creators: name: Yue, Lindsey Dat Kay
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2018

description: Thermochemical processes, and specifically those processes which involve heterogeneous solid--gas thermochemical looping of metal oxides, are important technologies with applicability to many research fields and industries. One emerging field is solar thermochemistry, in which concentrated solar thermal energy is used to drive thermochemical reactions. Realization of a solar thermochemical technology requires understanding of heat and mass transfer characteristics and chemical kinetics of the reacting system. In this thesis, intra-particle thermal transport phenomena in particles undergoing cyclic chemical transformations are studied, with the goals of (1) advancing understanding of intra-particle thermal transport phenomena inhibiting chemical reactions and (2) guiding process and reactor design. Intra-particle thermal transport phenomena are studied by developing a detailed numerical model of heat and mass transfer in a single particle undergoing thermochemical looping in Part I of this thesis and using the model to investigate the transient rate and extent of reactions in particles undergoing thermochemical cycling in Part II. Understanding these intra-particle thermal transport phenomena supports the design and operation of better chemical reactors and advances the fields of thermochemical looping and solar thermochemistry. Calcium oxide looping is chosen as the model reaction cycle. The cycle consists of the endothermic calcination of calcium carbonate into calcium oxide and carbon dioxide, and the exothermic carbonation of calcium oxide with carbon dioxide to form calcium carbonate. The analyzed system is a single, porous particle undergoing calcium oxide looping in an idealized, reactor-like environment. Transient changes in spatial gradients of temperature and composition of the solid and fluid phases are considered. The developed model is used in two application investigations. In the first investigation, directly irradiated particles are configured for carbon dioxide capture. Cycle time, magnitude of irradiation, particle size, and ambient gas temperature are varied, and evaluation metrics are used to compare the effect of varying each parameter. In the second investigation, furnace heated particles are configured for carbon dioxide capture and thermochemical energy storage. Experimental results are obtained by thermochemically cycling single sorbent particles of varying sizes in a furnace in different carbon dioxide atmospheres. Adjustments to the numerical model produce numerical results in agreement with experimental data for the first thermochemical cycle. Investigations and model predictions are used to assess the relative importance of operational parameters via evaluation metrics. These metric trends can be extrapolated to help address particle-based reacting medium level practical considerations and choice of compromises when designing a reacting medium and system process.
Noncommutative field theory and violation of translation invariance

Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: Noncommutative field theories with commutator of the coordinates of the form $[x^μ,x^ν]=i Λ_{\quad ω}^{μν}x^ω$ are studied. Explicit Lorentz invariance is mantained considering $Λ$ a Lorentz tensor. It is shown that a free quantum field theory is not affected. Since invariance under translations is broken, the conservation of energy-momentum is violated, obeying a new law which is expressed by a Poincaré-invariant equation. The resulting new kinematics is studied and applied to simple examples and to astrophysical puzzles, such as the observed violation of the GZK cutoff. The $λ$$Φ^{4}$ quantum field theory is also considered in this context. In particular, self interaction terms violate the usual conservation of energy-momentum and, hence, the radiative correction to the propagator is altered. The correction to first order in $λ$ is calculated. The usual UV divergent terms are still present, but a new type of term also emerges, which is IR divergent, violates momentum conservation and implies a correction to the dispersion relation.

Moments of the B Meson Inclusive Semileptonic Decay Rate using Neutrino Reconstruction

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Experiment (hep-ex)

description: We present a measurement of the composition of B meson inclusive semileptonic decays using 9.4 fb^-1 of e^+e^- data taken with the CLEO detector at the Upsilon(4S) resonance. In addition to measuring the charged lepton kinematics, the neutrino four-vector is inferred using the hermiticity of the detector. We perform a maximum likelihood fit over the full three-dimensional differential decay distribution for the fractional contributions from the B -> X_c l nu processes with X_c = D, D*, D**, and nonresonant X_c, and the process B -> X_u l nu. From the fit results we extract the first and second moments of the M_X^2 and q^2 distributions with minimum lepton-energy requirements of 1.0 GeV and 1.5 GeV. We find = 0.456 +- 0.014 +- 0.045 +- 0.109 (GeV/c^2)^2 with a minimum lepton energy of 1.0 GeV and = 0.293 +- 0.012 +- 0.033 +- 0.048 (GeV/c^2)^2 with minimum lepton energy of 1.5 GeV. The uncertainties are from statistics, detector systematic effects, and model dependence, respectively. As a test of the HQET and OPE calculations, the results for the M^X_c moment as a function of the minimum lepton energy requirement are compared to the predictions.

Videos of Luvale (and Related) Sonic Culture
Creators: name: Winikoff, Jason
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2024

description: The present collection documents various aspects of Luvale sonic culture. Most of these videos are from multiple locations in Zambia, though some were also taken in Angola. They come from multiple field research trips spanning several years. This collection has an admittedly Luvale-centered curation. This is a result of my field research, which was primarily conducted in the Luvale language, in villages with a strong Luvale presence, with the Luvale chieftainship’s blessing, a Luvale cultural organization’s oversight, and with predominately Luvale collaborators. However, the documented artifacts belong to multiple groups of closely related peoples who share a culture widespread throughout this region of Africa. Among these related ethnolinguistic groups are the Chokwe, Luchazi, Mbunda, and other smaller tribes. These videos document their cultural heritage just as much as that of the Luvale. Most of the videos in this collection feature makishi – the ancestral spirits of this culture who emerge in our world as masked figures. There are dozens of different makishi who are often recognized by their elaborate physical appearance (including mask and full-body costume). This alone, however, is not enough to manifest ancestors. Instead, makishi performance requires the combination of embodied personality, performed action, vocal timbre, interaction with music, and appearance. The collection contains many field videos that demonstrate the unique voices of these ancestors. These were taken in various settings such as traditional festivals, mukanda male initiation schools, and musical performances. Most of the other videos feature staged makishi dances to various items of musical repertoire. There is also a handful of videos featuring non-makishi music and dance. In addition to documenting various aspects of culture, these are designed to showcase the prowess of several performance troupes. All these videos are featured in the online chapter of my doctoral dissertation. For a more complete cultural contextualization, I direct the curious reader to both that website and the dissertation it belongs to. The audio from many of the dance videos will also be featured (in higher quality) in upcoming audio albums produced in conjunction with the International Library of African Music and the Likumbi Lya Mize Cultural Association.

Force on a neutron quantised vortex pinned to proton fluxoids in the superfluid core of cold neutron stars

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena (astro-ph.HE)

description: The superfluid and superconducting core of a cold rotating neutron star is expected to be threaded by a tremendous number of neutron quantised vortices and proton fluxoids. Their interactions are unavoidable and may have important astrophysical implications. In this paper, the various contributions to the force acting on a single vortex to which fluxoids are pinned are clarified. The general expression of the force is derived by applying the variational multifluid formalism developed by Carter and collaborators. Pinning to fluxoids leads to an additional Magnus type force due to proton circulation around the vortex. Pinning in the core of a neutron star may thus have a dramatic impact on the vortex dynamics, and therefore on the magneto-rotational evolution of the star.

description: Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate and update incidence trends of soft-tissue sarcoma (STS) and to develop a nomogram to predict cancer-specific survival (CSS) in patients diagnosed with primary STS of the liver. Methods: Patients with hepatic STS were extracted from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. Joinpoint regression analyses were performed to assess the incidence trends of STS. A nomogram was developed based on the independent risk factors chosen by Cox regression models. The calibration curve, area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), C‐index, and decision curve analysis (DCA) were used to assess the predictive performance of the nomogram. Results: The incidence of STS increased between 1994 and 2012. There was a sudden decline in the incidence of STS from 2013. The incidence of STS was different in distinct races and genders. The nomogram for predicting the CSS of hepatic STS according to the independent factors was well calibrated and it displayed optimal discrimination power. Conclusion: This study highlights that age, sex, tumor size, quality of surgery, and histologic subtypes may contribute to the prognosis of hepatic STS, and STS may be etiologically distinct and should be considered separately in different races and genders.

description: The present thesis comprises four distinct approaches to the problem of how the visual system encodes complex visual structure within the cerebral cortex. In the present context complexity refers to visual structure defined by spatial relationships (correlations) between multiple points (greater than 3) within an image (higher-order spatial correlations). Such spatial structure, for example corners or intersections, constitutes the visually meaningful elements of an image. While the encoding of these spatial correlations is of central concern, some findings may point to the types of computations performed within cortical (pyramidal) neurons in general. The four approaches fundamentally differ in the scales at which visual encoding has been explored. In Chapter 2 encoding has been studied at the behavioural (psychophysical) level. Findings in Chapter 2 suggest that the range of complex spatial relationships that we are capable of detecting is highly restricted relative to the set of all possible spatial relationships. Further, such detection may be accounted for by relatively few statistically independent driving mechanisms. Chapter 3 then considers the above results within the context of information theory, exploiting measures of image information to identify both the spatial and computational limits of structure encoding mechanisms. These findings suggest that correlations up to 9th order may be locally computed over highly restricted spatial domains. Chapter 4 then studies encoding at the level of neurotransmitters, their receptors and subcellular structures such as dendrites and dendritic spines. The results in this section demonstrate how such subcellular components confer individual neurons (reconstructed from morphological data) with the computational power to detect relationships between the activities of three or more synapses. The detection of these higher-order correlations by individual neurons suggests that these fundamental units of cognition are capable of performing computations significantly more complex than is generally supposed. Such computations confer neurons with the ability to detect meaningful complex relationships within patterns of synaptic input. Finally, by approaching the problem of encoding from the scale of human visual ecology, Chapter 5 attempts to place the above results within a broader theoretical context. Work in this section further exploits information theory, suggesting that the encoding properties of some visual neurons are adapted to efficiently encode visual structure at the centre of gaze.

description: The large order growth of string perturbation theory in $c\le 1$ conformal field theory coupled to world sheet gravity implies the presence of $O(e^{-{1\over g_s}})$ non-perturbative effects, whose leading behavior can be calculated in the matrix model approach. Recently it was proposed that the same effects should be reproduced by studying certain localized D-branes in Liouville Field Theory, which were constructed by A. and Al. Zamolodchikov. We discuss this correspondence in a number of different cases: unitary minimal models coupled to Liouville, where we compare the continuum analysis to the matrix model results of Eynard and Zinn-Justin, and compact c=1 CFT coupled to Liouville in the presence of a condensate of winding modes, where we derive the matrix model prediction and compare it to Liouville theory. In both cases we find agreement between the two approaches. The c=1 analysis also leads to predictions about properties of D-branes localized in the vicinity of the tip of the cigar in SL(2)/U(1) CFT with c=26.

description: The impact of the cluster environment on the evolution of dwarf galaxies is investigated by comparing the properties of a sample of dwarf irregulars (dIs) in the Virgo Cluster with a control sample of nearby ("field") dIs having oxygen abundances derived from [O III]4363 measurements and measured distances from resolved stellar constituents. Spectroscopic data are obtained for H II regions in 11 Virgo dIs distributed in the central and outer regions of the cluster. To ensure that oxygen abundances are derived in a homogeneous manner, oxygen abundances for field and Virgo dIs are computed using the bright-line method and compared with abundances directly obtained from [O III]4363, where available. They are found to agree to within about 0.2 dex with no systematic offset. At a given optical luminosity, there is no systematic difference in oxygen abundance between the sample of Virgo dIs and the sample of nearby dIs. However, five of the eleven Virgo dIs exhibit much lower baryonic gas fractions than field dIs at comparable oxygen abundances. Using field dIs as a reference, a gas-deficiency index for dIs is constructed, making it possible quantitatively to identify which galaxies have lost gas. For the Virgo sample, some of the dwarfs are gas-deficient by a factor of 30. The gas-deficiency correlates roughly with the X-ray surface brightness of the intracluster gas. Ram-pressure stripping can best explain the observed gas-poor dIs in the cluster sample. Together with the lack of significant fading and reddening of the gas-poor dIs compared to gas-normal dIs, these observations suggest that the gas-poor dIs in Virgo have recently encountered the intracluster medium for the first time. Faded remnants of gas-poor dIs in Virgo will resemble bright dwarf ellipticals presently seen in the cluster core.

description: Processes based on electrostatic projection are used extensively in industry, e.g. for mineral separations, electrophotography or manufacturing of coated abrasives, such as sandpaper. Despite decades of engineering practice, there are still unanswered questions. In this paper, we present a comprehensive experimental study of projection process of more than 1500 individual spherical alumina particles with a nominal size of 500 $μ$m, captured by high-speed video imaging and digital image analysis. Based on flight trajectories of approximately 1100 projected particles, we determined the acquired charge and dynamics as a function of relative humidity (RH) and electric field intensity and compared the results with classical theories. For RH levels of 50\% and above, more than 85\% of disposed particles were projected, even when the electric field intensity was at its minimum level. This suggests that, beyond a critical value of electric field intensity, relative humidity plays a more critical role in the projection process. We also observed that the charging time is reduced dramatically for RH levels of 50\% and above, possibly due to the build-up of thin water films around the particles which can facilitate charge transfer. In contrast, projected particles at 30\% RH level exhibited an excessive amount of electric charge, between two to four times than that of saturation value, which might be attributed to triboelectric charging effects. Finally, the physics of electrostatic projection is compared and contrasted with those of induced-charge electrokinetic phenomena, which share similar field-square scaling, as the applied field acts on its own induced charge to cause particle motion.

description: Microemulsion droplets (oil in water stabilized by a surfactant film) are progressively decorated with increasing amounts of poly ethylene- oxide (PEO) chains anchored in the film by the short aliphatic chain grafted at one end of the PEO chain . The evolution of the bending elasticity of the surfactant film with increasing decoration is deduced from the evolution in size and polydispersity of the droplets as reflected by small angle neutron scattering. The optimum curvature radius decreases while the bending rigidity modulus remains practically constant. The experimental results compare well with the predictions of a model developed for the bending properties of a curved film decorated by non-adsorbing polymer chains, which takes into account, the finite curvature of the film and the free diffusion of the chains on the film.

description: We report a new measurement of the B-meson semileptonic decay momentum spectrum that has been made with a sample of 9.4/fb of electron-positron annihilation data collected with the CLEO II detector at the Y(4S) resonance. Electrons from primary semileptonic decays and secondary charm decays were separated by using charge and angular correlations in Y(4S) events with a high-momentum lepton and an additional electron. We determined the semileptonic branching fraction to be (10.91 +- 0.09 +- 0.24)% from the normalization of the electron-energy spectrum. We also measured the moments of the electron energy spectrum with minimum energies from 0.6 GeV to 1.5 GeV.

Society finances

description: Society finances are often thought to rest on a three-legged stool, where publishing is complemented by event and membership income. Publishing revenues have been under pressure for years. In partner-published societies, the inclusion of journals in big deals means shrinking revenue and a loss of transparency, while at the same time independent society publishers have struggled to sell single subscriptions in a market where the majority of funds are directed at big deals. Society approaches to OA, however, are driven by the needs and preferences of their members and therefore many societies are embracing OA and aiming to transition away from subscription revenues. In practice this has meant independent society publishers implementing new models, working with consortia as well as agents and introducing entirely new workflows and metadata to manage deals, in a very short space of time. By contrast partner-published societies have been swept along by their partners, usually with a further loss of visibility and control over their own titles.
