description: We analyze neutrinoless double $β$-decay ($\nbb$-decay) mediated by heavy particles from the standpoint of effective field theory. We show how symmetries of the $\nbb$-decay quark operators arising in a given particle physics model determine the form of the corresponding effective, hadronic operators. We classify the latter according to their symmetry transformation properties as well as the order at which they appear in a derivative expansion. We apply this framework to several particle physics models, including R-parity violating supersymmetry (RPV SUSY) and the left-right symmetric model (LRSM) with mixing and a right-handed Majorana neutrino. We show that, in general, the pion exchange contributions to $\nbb$-decay dominate over the short-range four-nucleon operators. This confirms previously published RPV SUSY results and allows us to derive new constraints on the masses in the LRSM. In particular, we show how a non-zero mixing angle $ζ$ in the left-right symmetry model produces a new potentially dominant contribution to $\nbb$-decay that substantially modifies previous limits on the masses of the right-handed neutrino and boson stemming from constraints from $\nbb$-decay and vacuum stability requirements.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Within the context of the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD; 2008/56/EC) implementation the Member States are required to report to the EC on the current state of their marine areas, define the desired state of the marine environment by the determination of Good Environmental Status (GES) characteristics and associated environmental targets as well as establish and implement measures in case the current status of the environment deviates from the desired one. In the implementation process in Poland, multiple indicators characterizing each of 11 descriptors required by the Commission Decision (2010/477/EU) were selected basing on the availability of the most recent data, both from national monitoring and various scientific projects. Relying on the Water Framework Directive (WFD; 2000/60/EC) principles it was decided to apply five class system at individual indicator level, assuming GES as the border between good status (class 4) and moderate status (class 3). The methods of indicator aggregation within a descriptor and especially linkages between the descriptors presented the key challenges in the assessment procedure. For this purpose an interactive tool was developed combining the response/status indicators with pressure indicators. The assessment procedure comprised the core indicator level throughout the descriptor to assessment units/areas which, within the Polish sector of the Baltic Sea

description: NP-hard problems regularly come up in video games, with interesting connections to real-world problems. In the game Minecraft, players place torches on the ground to light up dark areas. Placing them in a way that minimizes the total number of torches to save resources is far from trivial. In this paper, we use Quantum Computing to approach this problem. To this end, we derive a QUBO formulation of the torch placement problem, which we uncover to be very similar to another NP-hard problem. We employ a solution strategy that involves learning Lagrangian weights in an iterative process, adding to the ever growing toolbox of QUBO formulations. Finally, we perform experiments on real quantum hardware using real game data to demonstrate that our approach yields good torch placements.

description: We calculate electrostatic potential landscapes for an external probe charge in the presence of a set of metallic islands. Our numerical calculation in three dimensions (3D)uses an efficient grid relaxation technique. The well-known relaxation algorithm for solving the Poisson equation in two dimensions is generalized to 3D. In addition,all charges on the system, free as well as induced charges,are determined accurately and self-consistently to satisfy the desired boundary conditions. This allows the straightforward calculation of the potential on the outer boundary using the free space electrostatic Green's function,as well as the calculation of the entire capacitance matrix of the system. Physically interesting examples of nanoscale systems are presented and analyzed.

Gauge-Underdetermination and Shades of Locality in the Aharonov–Bohm Effect
Creators: name: Mulder, Ruward A.
Publisher: name: Apollo - University of Cambridge Repository
Year: 2021
Subjects: Article

description: Abstract: I address the view that the classical electromagnetic potentials are shown by the Aharonov–Bohm effect to be physically real (which I dub: ‘the potentials view’). I give a historico-philosophical presentation of this view and assess its prospects, more precisely than has so far been done in the literature. Taking the potential as physically real runs prima facie into ‘gauge-underdetermination’: different gauge choices represent different physical states of affairs and hence different theories. This fact is usually not acknowledged in the literature (or in classrooms), neither by proponents nor by opponents of the potentials view. I then illustrate this theme by what I take to be the basic insight of the AB effect for the potentials view, namely that the gauge equivalence class that directly corresponds to the electric and magnetic fields (which I call the Wide Equivalence Class) is too wide, i.e., the Narrow Equivalence Class encodes additional physical degrees of freedom: these only play a distinct role in a multiply-connected space. There is a trade-off between explanatory power and gauge symmetries. On the one hand, this narrower equivalence class gives a local explanation of the AB effect in the sense that the phase is incrementally picked up along the path of the electron. On the other hand, locality is not satisfied in the sense of signal locality, viz. the finite speed of propagation exhibited by electric and magnetic fields. It is therefore intellectually mandatory to seek desiderata that will distinguish even within these narrower equivalence classes, i.e. will prefer some elements of such an equivalence class over others. I consider various formulations of locality, such as Bell locality, local interaction Hamiltonians, and signal locality. I show that Bell locality can only be evaluated if one fixes the gauge freedom completely. Yet, an explanation in terms of signal locality can be accommodated by the Lorenz gauge: the potentials propagate in waves at finite speed. I therefore suggest the Lorenz gauge potentials theory—an even narrower gauge equivalence relation—as the ontology of electrodynamics.

description: Many dense magnetic nanoparticle systems exhibit slow dynamics which is qualitatively indistinguishable from that observed in atomic spin glasses and its origin is attributed to dipole interactions among particle moments (or superspins). However, even in dilute nanoparticle systems where the dipole interactions are vanishingly small, slow dynamics is observed and is attributed solely to a broad distribution of relaxation times which in turn comes from that of the anisotropy energy barriers. To clarify characteristic differences between the two types of slow dynamics, we study a simple model of a non-interacting nanoparticle system (a superparamagnet) analytically as well as ferritin (a superparamagnet) and a dense Fe-N nanoparticle system (a superspin glass) experimentally. It is found that superparamagnets in fact show aging (a waiting time dependence) of the thermoremanent-magnetization as well as various memory effects. We also find some dynamical phenomena peculiar only to superspin glasses such as the flatness of the field-cooled magnetization below the critical temperature and memory effects in the zero-field-cooled magnetization. These dynamical phenomena are qualitatively reproduced by the random energy model, and are well interpreted by the so-called droplet theory in the field of the spin-glass study.

description: Abstract: Quasi-crystal distributed feedback lasers do not require any form of mirror cavity to amplify and extract radiation. Once implemented on the top surface of a semiconductor laser, a quasi-crystal pattern can be used to tune both the radiation feedback and the extraction of highly radiative and high-quality-factor optical modes that do not have a defined symmetric or anti-symmetric nature. Therefore, this methodology offers the possibility to achieve efficient emission, combined with tailored spectra and controlled beam divergence. Here, we apply this concept to a one-dimensional quantum cascade wire laser. By lithographically patterning a series of air slits with different widths, following the Octonacci sequence, on the top metal layer of a double-metal quantum cascade laser operating at THz frequencies, we can vary the emission from single-frequency-mode to multimode over a 530-GHz bandwidth, achieving a maximum peak optical power of 240 mW (190 mW) in multimode (single-frequency-mode) lasers, with record slope efficiencies for multimode surface-emitting disordered THz lasers up to ≈570 mW/A at 78 K and ≈720 mW/A at 20 K and wall-plug efficiencies of η ≈ 1%.

description: Light CP-violating Higgs bosons with mass lower than 70 GeV might have escaped detection in direct searches at the LEP collider. They may remain undetected in conventional search channels at the Tevatron and LHC. In this Letter we show that exclusive diffractive reactions may be able to probe for the existence of these otherwise elusive Higgs particles. As a prototype example, we calculate diffractive production cross-sections of the lightest Higgs boson within the framework of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model with explicit CP violation. Our analysis shows that the challenging regions of parameter space corresponding to a light CP-violating Higgs boson might be accessible at the LHC provided suitable proton tagging detectors are installed.

description: Abstract: Exposure to volcanic ash is a long-standing health concern for people living near active volcanoes and in distal urban areas. During transport and deposition, ash is subjected to various physicochemical processes that may change its surface composition and, consequently, bioreactivity. One such process is the interaction with anthropogenic pollutants; however, the potential for adsorbed, deleterious organic compounds to directly impact human health is unknown. We use an in vitro bioanalytical approach to screen for the presence of organic compounds of toxicological concern on ash surfaces and assess their biological potency. These compounds include polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs) and dioxin-like polychlorinated biphenyls (dlPCBs). Analysis of ash collected in or near urbanised areas at five active volcanoes across the world (Etna, Italy; Fuego, Guatemala; Kelud, Indonesia; Sakurajima, Japan; Tungurahua, Ecuador) using the bioassay inferred the presence of such compounds on all samples. A relatively low response to PCDD/Fs and the absence of a dlPCBs response in the bioassay suggest that the measured activity is dominated by PAHs and PAH-like compounds. This study is the first to demonstrate a biological potency of organic pollutants associated with volcanic ash particles. According to our estimations, they are present in quantities below recommended exposure limits and likely pose a low direct concern for human health.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.The European Union Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) is a wide-ranging framework directive (2008/56/EC) with the overall objective of achieving or maintaining Good Environmental Status (GES) in Europe’s seas by 2020 (MSFD, 2008). Eleven high level qualitative Descriptors of GES have been defined in Annex I of the MSFD. Determining the detail of what these mean for European marine waters is a crucial step in the implementation of the Directive. The MSFD will be one of the key policy drivers shaping the future marine monitoring and assessment requirements across Europe. It will also provide the framework for determining the management measures required by individual Member States. One of the main aspects of work in the first phase of the implementation of the MSFD is the development of common criteria and methodological standards, which will ensure consistency and comparability in the determination of GES across Europe. This includes the development of the specific criteria and methodological standards for MSFD Descriptor 8, “Concentrations of contaminants are at levels not giving rise to pollution effects”. With regard to Descriptor 8, the ecosystem-based approach, as proposed by both the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES), and the MSFD, denotes that pollution effects ought to be considered at various biological levels of organization, taking into account interaction effects of contaminants with both abiotic and biotic factors (Thain et al., 2008; Lyons et al., 2010; ICES, 2011).
The case against the progenitor's carbon-to-oxygen ratio as a source of peak luminosity variations in Type Ia supernovae

description: One of the major challenges for theoretical modeling of Type Ia supernova explosions is to explain the diversity of these events and the empirically established correlation between their peak luminosity and light curve shape. In the framework of the so-called Chandrasekhar mass models, the progenitor's carbon-to-oxygen ratio has been suggested to be a principal source of peak luminosity variations due to a variation in the production of radioactive $^{56}$Ni during the explosion. The underlying idea is that an enhanced carbon mass fraction should result in a more vigorous explosion since here the energy release from nuclear reactions is increased. It was suspected that this would produce a higher amount of $^{56}$Ni in the ejecta. In this letter we describe a mechanism resulting from an interplay between nucleosynthesis and turbulent flame evolution which counteracts such an effect. Based on three-dimensional simulations we argue that it is nearly balanced and only minor differences in the amount of synthesized $^{56}$Ni with varying carbon mass fraction in the progenitor can be expected. Therefore this progenitor parameter is unlikely to account for the observed variations in Type Ia supernova luminosity. We discuss possible effects on the calibration of cosmological measurements.

description: We study the resistive transition in Josephson-junction arrays at $f=1/2$ flux quantum per plaquette by dynamical simulations of the resistively-shunted-junction model. The current-voltage scaling and critical dynamics of the phases are found to be well described by the same critical temperature and static exponents as for the chiral (vortex-lattice) transition. Although this behavior is consistent with a single transition scenario, where phase and chiral variables order simultaneously, two different dynamic exponents result for phase coherence and chiral order.

description: We propose simpler Higgs sectors in $E_6$ grand unified theory with anomalous $U(1)_A$ gauge symmetry than the previous model in Ref.1). As in the previous model, the doublet-triplet splitting can be realized in a natural way, while proton decay via dimension 5 operators is suppressed and gauge coupling unification is also realized without fine-tuning. Combining the matter sector, simple complete GUTs can be obtained. Since the Higgs sector is simpler, the gauge coupling constant at the cutoff scale can be in perturbative region, and therefore, the estimated value of the lifetime of a nucleon in this model, $τ_p(p\to e^+π^0)\sim 5\times 10^{33}$ years, becomes more reliable.

description: Die vorliegende Studie untersucht den Wert von Tierwohlleistungen in der Schweizer Schweine- und Rindermast auf Betriebs- und Marktebene. Die Berechnungen zeigen, welche effektiven Mehrkosten anfallen. Zum einen wird analysiert, inwiefern diese Mehrkosten in der Produktion über den Markt und staatliche Beiträge gedeckt sind. Zum anderen werden Preiselastizitäten der Nachfrage geschätzt, die aufzeigen, wie sensitiv Verbraucher auf Preisänderungen reagieren. Entgegen der hohen Wertschätzung des Tierwohls in der Gesellschaft zeigen die Ergebnisse, dass die Tierwohlleistungen der Produzenten nicht ausreichend abgegolten werden. Darüber hinaus sind Verbraucher besonders bei Fleischprodukten mit höherem Tierwohlstandard preissensitiv. Für eine stärkere Breitenwirkung von tierfreundlichen Haltungsformen braucht es neben gesellschaftlich erwünschten Unterstützungsmassnahmen durch den Staat und Effizienzsteigerungen in der Produktion auch die Unterstützung des Detailhandels, welcher die Verantwortung mit einer gut austarierten Preisgestaltung wahrnimmt und so die Kaufbereitschaft von Produkten mit höherem Tierwohlstandard bei grösseren Käuferschichten gezielt anspricht.

description: The subject of the work is to discuss the regional aspects in the work of the Institute of Soil Science and Plant Cultivation - State Research Institute in Puławy (henceforth referred to as ISSPC-SRI). All spheres of the Institute’s activity have been taken into account during the analysis. The basic sources of information were research plans, reports and publications whose authors were ISSPC-SRI employees. According to the analysis, regional aspects are reflected in ISSPC-SRI research conducted as part of statutory activities, long-term program and various types of projects. Regional aspects are conspicuous both in the diagnosis of the current condition and in forecasting changes in agriculture. They enrich, broaden and objectify assessments. They are also the premises for improving systems of agricultural advisory and strategic planning.
The restorative assemblage of place : an exploration of the material, symbolic, and embodied dimensions of place within the restorative experience.
Creators: name: Crawford, Nicole P.
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2020

description: This project, through a range of both phenomenological and empirical research, explores the restorative potential of the embedded resources of place, wherein these resources are accessed through relational encounters founded on one’s own distinct set of dynamic sociocultural-material-affective relationships. These resources are considered as: material, the physical assemblage of the place itself; symbolic, an outcome of how the place is understood to be restorative; and embodied, an outcome of the way in which individuals interact with the place. Resources of the restorative place are considered through the example of the coastal landscape as well as the practices of connection often associated with it. Dimensions of the place-assemblage are explored through these resources to develop a concept of the restorative experience in which it is co-created by both individual and landscape. One consideration to note is that the restorative experience is an intricate and complex relationship between health, personhood, and environment, and as this project approaches restoration as a relational outcome, that which is restorative for one individual may not be restorative for another. As well, though this project takes into consideration a diversity of literature, not all understandings of the restorative experience have been explored, as this project was approached exclusively through scholarly inquiry and the personal experiences of this researcher. It is this researcher’s hope, however, that one could be able to achieve restoration through a combination of the environments, experiences, and practices that follow, and that this project can make clear the many available dimensions of the restorative experience assemblage.

description: This paper builds on the theory of generalised functions begun in [1]. The Colombeau theory of generalised scalar fields on manifolds is extended to a nonlinear theory of generalised tensor fields which is diffeomorphism invariant and has the sheaf property. The generalised Lie derivative for generalised tensor fields is introduced and it is shown that this commutes with the embedding of distributional tensor fields. It is also shown that the covariant derivative of generalised tensor fields commutes with the embedding at the level of association. The concept of generalised metric is introduced and used to develop a nonsmooth theory of differential geometry. It is shown that the embedding of a continuous metric results in a generalised metric with well defined connection and curvature. It is also shown that a twice continuously differentiable metric which is a solution of the vacuum Einstein equations may be embedded into the algebra of generalised tensor fields and has generalised Ricci curvature associated to zero. Thus, the embedding preserves the Einstein equations at the level of association. Finally, we consider an example of a metric which lies outside the Geroch-Traschen class and show that in our diffeomorphism invariant theory the curvature of a cone is associated to a delta function.

 Type material
 Hydroporus simplex: Holotype: ♂ " Pinecrest, Cal \ Tuolumne Co. \ 13–VII–1948 \ P.H. Arnaud ", " Holotype \ Hydroporus simplex \ Robert Gordon" [red], " California Academy \ of Sciences \ Type No. 9839" (CAS).
Type locality: USA, California, Tuolumne County, Pinecrest.
 In Larson et al. (2000) H. simplex was recognized as a member of the subpubescens ­ group. According to the results of the present work, this group now includes only one species, H. subpubescens. This species is very similar to representatives of the nigellus ­ group, especially to H. tenebrosus; therefore, distinguishing of the subpubescens ­group is found unnecessary. The subpubescens ­group is omitted, and H. subpubescens is transferred to the nigellus ­group. Nilsson (2001) placed H. simplex in the longiusculusgroup probably because of its slightly angulate metacoxal processes. As shown above, this character is variable in the representatives of the group and alone cannot support placing H. simplex in the longiusculus­ group. Based on my examination of this species I think that it is rather similar to species of the nigellus ­group, especially more similar to H. despectus, than to H. longiusculus and H. pervicinus. It shares with them a single puncture row on the anterior surface of the protibia, the non­produced posterolateral angles of the pronotum, and the median lobe of the aedeagus sinuate in lateral view. Therefore, it is suggested that H. simplex be placed in the nigellus ­group.

Explaining the High Energy Spectral Component in GRB 941017

description: The gamma-ray burst (GRB) of October 17, 1994 (941017), showed a distinct high energy spectral component extending from $\lesssim$ a few MeV to $\gtrsim$ 200 MeV, in addition to the typical GRB emission which peaked at $\lesssim$ a few hundred keV. The high energy component carried at least $\sim$ 3 times more energy than the lower energy component. It displayed an almost constant flux with a rather hard spectrum ($F_ν\propto ν^{-α}$ with $α\sim 0$) from $\lesssim$ 20 s into the burst up to $\sim$ 200 s, while the duration of the GRB, where 90% of the energy in the lower energy component was emitted, was only 77 s. Such a high energy component was seen in only one out of $\sim$ 30 GRBs in which a similar component could have been detected, and thus appears to be quite rare. We examine possible explanations for this high energy spectral component and find that most models fail. The only emission region that provides the right temporal behavior is the reverse shock that goes into the GRB ejecta as it is decelerated by the ambient medium, or possibly the very early forward shock while the reverse shock is still going on. The best candidate for the emission mechanism is synchrotron self-Compton emission from the reverse shock. Even in this model the most natural spectral slope is only marginally consistent with the observed value, and some degree of fine tuning is required in order to improve the agreement. This might suggest that an additional or alternative emission mechanism is at work here. A prediction of this interpretation is that such a high energy component should be accompanied by a bright optical transient, similar to the one observed in GRB 990123.

Bose-Einstein condensation in random directed networks

Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)

description: We consider the phenomenon of Bose-Einstein condensation in a random growing directed network. The network grows by the addition of vertices and edges. At each time step the network gains a vertex with probabilty $p$ and an edge with probability $1-p$. The new vertex has a fitness $(a,b)$ with probability $f(a,b)$. A vertex with fitness $(a,b)$, in-degree $i$ and out-degree $j$ gains a new incoming edge with rate $a(i+1)$ and an outgoing edge with rate $b(j+1)$. The Bose-Einstein condensation occurs as a function of fitness distribution $f(a,b)$.

description: We study the thermodynamic and high-magnetic-field properties of the magnetic insulator Ba$_5$CuIr$_3$O$_{12}$, which shows no magnetic order down to 2 K consistent with a spin liquid ground state. While the temperature dependence of the magnetic susceptibility and the specific heat shows only weak antiferromagnetic correlations, we find that the magnetization does not saturate up to a field of 59 Tesla, leading to an apparent contradiction. We demonstrate that the paradox can be resolved, and all of the experimental data can be consistently described within the framework of random singlet states. We demonstrate a generic procedure to derive the exchange coupling distribution $P(J)$ from the magnetization measurements and use it to show that the experimental data is consistent with the power-law form $P(J)\sim J^{-α}$ with $α\approx 0.6 $. Thus, we reveal that high-magnetic-field measurements can be essential to discern quantum spin liquid candidates from disorder dominated states that do not exhibit long-range order.

description: The study empirically explored the effects of variability in climate parameters on yield of two grain crops grown in Nigeria (millet and sorghum). This study was based on time series data obtained from various sources spanning from 1970 to 2012. Data obtained were analyzed using fully Modified Ordinary Least Square (FM-OLS) approach. The results showed that land area expansion (lnarea) exerted a significant effect on yield of sorghum in the study at a 5% level of significance within the period of study. For millet, the results indicated that climate variable (mean annual temperature), CO2 emissions as well as land area expansion significantly impacted on the yield of the crop in the study. It is recommended that land expansion should be accompanied by intensive utilization of inputs which could help to boost the yield of sorghum and millet in the study area.
