description: We study the quantum particle creation in a toy model of spherically symmetric gravitational collapse whose final product is not a black hole but a gravastar. Precedent studies revealed that even in the case of the gravitational collapse to form a horizonless ultra-compact object, thermal radiation named transient Hawking radiation is generated at the late stage of the gravitational collapse, and a sudden stop of collapsing motion to form a horizonless ultra-compact object causes one or two bursts of quantum particle creation. The very different behavior of the model studied in this paper from the precedent ones is quantum radiation with a thermal spectrum from the gravastar between two bursts. The temperature of the radiation is not the same as the Hawking one determined by the gravitational mass of the system but the Gibbons-Hawking one of the de Sitter core inside the gravastar.

Creators: name: No Name Supplied
Publisher: name: Highlands Task Force
Year: 2004

description: The Highlands is New Jersey's last remaining large expanse of pristine mountain lakes and streams and unbroken forests. The region has long been recognized for its most significant natural resource -- drinking water -- which it supplies to over half of New Jersey. But the Highlands is under threat from population growth, large-lotresidential subdivisions, increased deforestation and fragmentation, and sprawl. This report to N.J. Governor James E. McGreevey and the New Jersey Legislature from the Highlands Task Force presents an action plan to preserve the Highlands and its natural resources.

description: In the one-photon exchange approximation we discuss questions related to the interpretation of unexpected results of the JLab polarization experiments to measure the Sachs form factors ratio $G_E/G_M$ in the region $1. 0 \leq Q^2 \leq 8.5$ GeV$^2$. For this purpose, we developed an approach which essentially is a generalization of the constituent-counting rules of the perturbative QCD (pQCD) for the case of massive quarks. We assume that at the lower boundary of the considered region the hard-scattering mechanism of pQCD is realized. Within the framework of the developed approach we calculated the hard kernel of the proton current matrix elements $J^{\pm δ, δ}_{p}$ for the full set of spin combinations corresponding to the number of the spin-flipped quarks, which contribute to the proton transition without spin-flip ($J^{δ, δ}_{p}$) and with the spin-flip ($J^{-δ, δ}_{p}$). This allows us to state that (i) around the lower boundary of the considered region, the leading scaling behavior of the Sachs form factors has the form $G_E, G_M \sim 1/Q^6$, (ii) the dipole dependence ($G_E, G_M \sim 1/Q^4$) is realized in the asymptotic regime of pQCD when $τ\gg 1$ ($τ=Q^2/4M^2$) in the case when the quark transitions with spin-flip dominate, (iii) the asymptotic regime of pQCD in the JLab experiments has not yet been achieved, and (iv) the linear decrease of the ratio $G_{E}/G_{M}$ at $τ< 1$ is due to additional contributions to $J^{δ, δ}_{p}$ by spin-flip transitions of two quarks and an additional contribution to $J^{-δ, δ}_{p}$ by spin-flip transitions of three quarks.

description: A person's decision to adopt an idea or product is often driven by the decisions of peers, mediated through a network of social ties. A common way of modeling adoption dynamics is to use threshold models, where a node may become an adopter given a high enough rate of contacts with adopted neighbors. We study the dynamics of threshold models that take both the network topology and the timings of contacts into account, using empirical contact sequences as substrates. The models are designed such that adoption is driven by the number of contacts with different adopted neighbors within a chosen time. We find that while some networks support cascades leading to network-level adoption, some do not: the propagation of adoption depends on several factors from the frequency of contacts to burstiness and timing correlations of contact sequences. More specifically, burstiness is seen to suppress cascades sizes when compared to randomised contact timings, while timing correlations between contacts on adjacent links facilitate cascades.

description: The construction of the generalized Gibbs ensemble, to which isolated integrable quantum many-body systems relax after a quantum quench, is based upon the principle of maximum entropy. In contrast, there are no universal and model-independent laws that govern the relaxation dynamics and stationary states of open quantum systems, which are subjected to Markovian drive and dissipation. Yet, as we show, relaxation of driven-dissipative systems after a quantum quench can, in fact, be determined by a maximum entropy ensemble, if the Liouvillian that generates the dynamics of the system has parity-time symmetry. Focusing on the specific example of a driven-dissipative Kitaev chain, we show that, similarly to isolated integrable systems, the approach to a parity-time symmetric generalized Gibbs ensemble becomes manifest in the relaxation of local observables and the dynamics of subsystem entropies. In contrast, the directional pumping of fermion parity, which is induced by nontrivial non-Hermitian topology of the Kitaev chain, represents a phenomenon that is unique to relaxation dynamics in driven-dissipative systems. Upon increasing the strength of dissipation, parity-time symmetry is broken at a finite critical value, which thus constitutes a sharp dynamical transition that delimits the applicability of the principle of maximum entropy. We show that these results, which we obtain for the specific example of the Kitaev chain, apply to broad classes of noninteracting fermionic models, and we discuss their generalization to a noninteracting bosonic model and an interacting spin chain.

description: It is shown that, in some non-QCD theories, there are effects shared by QCD: (i)~in SU(2) Yang-Mills theory containing a nonlinear spinor field, there is a mass gap; (ii)~in SU(3) Proca-Higgs theory, there are flux tube solutions with a longitudinal electric field required for producing a force binding quarks; (iii)~in non-Abelian Proca-Higgs theories, there exist flux tube solutions with a momentum directed along the tube axis and particlelike solutions with a nonvanishing total angular momentum created by crossed color electric and magnetic fields; in QCD, such configurations may contribute to the proton spin. We discuss the conjecture that such non-QCD theories might be a consequence of approximate solution of an infinite set of Dyson-Schwinger equations describing the procedure of nonperturbative quantization. The phenomenon of dimensional transmutation for nonperturbative quantization and the analogy between nonperturbative quantization and turbulence modeling are also discussed.

description: To determine if the addition of home environmental control strategies (ECSs) to controller medication titration reduces asthma controller medication requirements and in-home allergen concentrations among children with persistent asthma in Baltimore City. 155 children ages 5–17 with allergen-sensitized asthma were enrolled in a 6-month randomized clinical trial of multifaceted, individually-tailored ECS plus asthma controller medication titration compared to controller medication titration alone. Participants had to meet criteria for persistent asthma and have had an exacerbation in the previous 18 months. Allergen sensitization (mouse, cockroach, cat, dog, dust mite) was assessed at baseline and home dust allergen concentrations were measured at baseline, 3 and 6 months. ECS was delivered 3–4 times over the trial. Asthma controller medication was titrated using a guidelines-based algorithm at baseline, 2, 4, and 6 months. The primary outcome was controller medication treatment step at 6 months (0–6, as-needed albuterol to high-dose ICS + LABA). The population was predominately Black (90%), on public insurance (93%), and male (61%). The mean age was 10.1 years (SD 3.3). More than 70% were sensitized to a rodent, >50% to cockroach, and 70% were polysensitized. At 6 months, there were no differences in either treatment step (3.8 [SD 1.4] vs. 3.7 [SD 1.5]) or allergen concentrations between groups. Among this predominantly low-income, Black pediatric asthma population, the addition of ECS to controller medication titration reduced neither indoor allergen concentrations nor controller medication requirements compared to controller medication titration alone.

description: We present photospheric-phase observations of LSQ12gdj, a slowly-declining, UV-bright Type Ia supernova. Classified well before maximum light, LSQ12gdj has extinction-corrected absolute magnitude $M_B = -19.8$, and pre-maximum spectroscopic evolution similar to SN 1991T and the super-Chandrasekhar-mass SN 2007if. We use ultraviolet photometry from Swift, ground-based optical photometry, and corrections from a near-infrared photometric template to construct the bolometric (1600-23800 Å) light curve out to 45 days past $B$-band maximum light. We estimate that LSQ12gdj produced $0.96 \pm 0.07$ $M_\odot$ of $^{56}$Ni, with an ejected mass near or slightly above the Chandrasekhar mass. As much as 27% of the flux at the earliest observed phases, and 17% at maximum light, is emitted bluewards of 3300 Å. The absence of excess luminosity at late times, the cutoff of the spectral energy distribution bluewards of 3000 Å, and the absence of narrow line emission and strong Na I D absorption all argue against a significant contribution from ongoing shock interaction. However, up to 10% of LSQ12gdj's luminosity near maximum light could be produced by the release of trapped radiation, including kinetic energy thermalized during a brief interaction with a compact, hydrogen-poor envelope (radius $< 10^{13}$ cm) shortly after explosion; such an envelope arises generically in double-degenerate merger scenarios.

description: We report a new technique for the realization of second-order correlation ($g^2(τ)$) measurement under low-repetition-rate pulsed excitation (1 kHz), with timing jitter calibrated to restore lateral $g^2(τ)$ curves and determine $g^2(0)$. We use CdSe nanowire (NW) laser to demonstrate the jitter-calibrated $g^2(τ)$ measurement, where $g^2(0)$ evolution shows the laser emission transition process. The exciting pulses are split into reference and excitation channels, which enables the jitter calibration when the exciting pulses have significant timing jitter and low repetition rate. After using the reference signals to calibrate and rearrange the single-photon signals, lateral $g^2(τ)$ curves can be entirely restored, and $g^2(0)$ evolution is demonstrated from our method.

description: We investigate numerically the role of spatial arrangement of the patches on the irreversible adsorption of patchy colloids on a substrate. We consider spherical three-patch colloids and study the dependence of the kinetics on the opening angle between patches. We show that growth is suppressed below and above minimum and maximum opening angles, revealing two absorbing phase transitions between thick and thin film regimes. While the transition at the minimum angle is continuous, in the Directed Percolation class, that at the maximum angle is clearly discontinuous. For intermediate values of the opening angle, a rough colloidal network in the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang universality class grows indefinitely. The nature of the transitions was analyzed in detail by considering bond flexibility, defined as the dispersion of the angle between the bond and the center of the patch. For the range of flexibilities considered we always observe two phase transitions. However, the range of opening angles where growth is sustained increases with flexibility. At a tricritical flexibility, the discontinuous transition becomes continuous. The practical implications of our findings and the relation to other nonequilibrium transitions are discussed.

description: Short-acting β2-agonist (SABA) over-reliance is associated with poor asthma outcomes. As part of the SABA Use IN Asthma (SABINA) III study, we assessed SABA prescriptions and clinical outcomes in patients from six Latin American countries. In this cross-sectional study, data on disease characteristics/asthma treatments were collected using electronic case report forms. Patients (aged ≥12 years) were classified by investigator-defined asthma severity (guided by the 2017 Global Initiative for Asthma) and practice type (primary/specialist care). Multivariable regression models analyzed the associations between SABA prescriptions and clinical outcomes. Data from 1096 patients (mean age, 52.0 years) were analyzed. Most patients were female (70%), had moderate-to-severe asthma (79.4%), and were treated by specialists (87.6%). Asthma was partly controlled/uncontrolled in 61.5% of patients; 47.4% experienced ≥1 severe exacerbation in the previous 12 months. Overall, 39.8% of patients were prescribed ≥3 SABA canisters in the preceding 12 months (considered over-prescription). SABA canisters were purchased over the counter (OTC) by 17.2% of patients, of whom 38.8% purchased ≥3 canisters in the 12 months prior. Of patients who purchased SABA OTC, 73.5% were prescribed ≥3 SABA canisters. Higher SABA prescriptions (vs. 1 − 2 canisters) were associated with an increased incidence rate of severe exacerbations (ranging from 1.31 to 3.08) and lower odds ratios of having at least partly controlled asthma (ranging from 0.63 to 0.15). SABA over-prescription was common in Latin America, highlighting the need for urgent collaboration between healthcare providers and policymakers to align clinical practices with the latest evidence-based recommendations to address this public health concern.

description: We compute non-perturbatively the renormalization constant of the flavour-singlet local vector current $Z_V$ in lattice QCD with 3 massless flavours. Gluons are discretized by the Wilson plaquette action while quarks by the O($a$)-improved Wilson--Dirac operator. The constant $Z_V$ is fixed by comparing the expectation values (1-point functions) of the conserved and local vector currents at finite temperature in the presence of shifted boundary conditions and at non-zero imaginary chemical potential. Monte Carlo simulations with a moderate computational cost allow us to obtain $Z_V$ with an accuracy of about 8\textperthousand\, for values of the inverse bare coupling constant $β=6/g_0^2$ in the range $5.3 \leq β\leq 11.5$.

description: The purpose of this Open Space and Recreation Plan (OSRP) is to establish a guiding document by which Atlantic County can continue its mission to provide sufficient open space and recreation facilities that meet the needs of the public. The fundamental purpose of this Plan can be simply stated as follows: to provide for a balanced open space and park system throughout the County which services the greatest number of residents and visitors, by developing and advancing mechanisms to enable efficient acquisition and development programs at all levels through public and private partnerships in order to respond to open space opportunities which may arise now and in the future. The OSRP proposes specific goals and polices that are intended to identify and provide a broad range of open space opportunities over the next two decades. It is anticipated that with development of additional funding mechanisms within the County Open Space Trust, which will allow for greater flexibility and support of the municipalities within the County, that a more comprehensive, efficient and responsive program will be realized within the County. The OSRP provides the framework for Open Space Acquisition and Development projects ranging from smaller municipal park areas to the larger Regional County Park facilities.

description: Fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) is a well-established measure of allergic airway inflammation and possible useful adjunct disease management tool. We investigated the association of baseline and follow-up FeNO measurements with disease burden in minority children with persistent asthma. A retrospective chart review was conducted on 352 African American and Hispanic children seen at an urban Asthma Center in Bronx, NY. Demographic, clinical characteristics, and pulmonary function tests (PFTs) were compared between children with low, intermediate, and high baseline FeNO levels. Among 95 children with subsequent follow up visits, associations of change in FeNO with demographics, clinical characteristics, and PFTs were examined using mixed effects linear regression models. A higher proportion of children with intermediate (54%) and high FeNO (58%) levels had lower airways obstruction compared to those with low FeNO levels (33%). Children with intermediate FeNO levels had more annual hospitalizations (2.8 ± 6.2) compared to those with low and high FeNO levels (1.3 ± 2.8 and 1.3 ± 2.5). These associations did not differ between ethnicities. An increase in FeNO over time was associated with higher BMI z-scores (β = 6.2, 95% CI: 1.0 to 11.4) and two or more hospitalizations in the past year (β = 16.1, 95% CI: 1.5 to 30.8). Intermediate and high FeNO levels are associated with lower airways obstruction and hospitalizations. Initial and serial FeNO measurements can be a useful adjunctive tool in identifying asthma-related morbidity in urban African American and Hispanic children.

description: A perfectly compliant substrate would allow the monolithic integration of high-quality semiconductor materials such as Ge and III-V on Silicon (Si) substrate, enabling novel functionalities on the well-established low-cost Si technology platform. Here, we demonstrate a compliant Si substrate allowing defect-free epitaxial growth of lattice mismatched materials. The method is based on the deep patterning of the Si substrate to form micrometer-scale pillars and subsequent electrochemical porosification. The investigation of the epitaxial Ge crystalline quality by X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy and etch-pits counting demonstrates the full elastic relaxation of defect-free microcrystals. The achievement of dislocation free heteroepitaxy relies on the interplay between elastic deformation of the porous micropillars, set under stress by the lattice mismatch between Ge and Si, and on the diffusion of Ge into the mesoporous patterned substrate attenuating the mismatch strain at the Ge/Si interface.

description: In accordance with the electroweak theory, we perform, in the first-Born approximation, a detailed analytical treatment of the differential cross-section (DCS) for the elastic scattering process $e^{-}+ν_μ\longrightarrow e^{-}+ν_μ$ in both absence and presence of a circularly polarized laser field. This scattering process is examined by using Dirac-Volkov wave functions for charged particles within an external laser field. The theoretical results obtained for the differential cross-section without laser field are compared with other theoretical results within the framework of Fermi theory. These results revealed to us the most important points that contribute to the understanding of the electroweak theory role in solving the problem of unitarity violation of the differential cross-section in Fermi theory. The differential cross section is modified significantly by inserting the electrons into an electromagnetic field. In addition, the influence of the laser strength and its frequency on the photons exchange between the colliding system and the laser field are also included and discussed. These effects are heavily related to the order and argument of the ordinary Bessel functions introduced in the theoretical calculation.

description: We study the dynamical localization transition in a one-dimensional periodically kicked incommensurate lattice, which is created by perturbing a primary optical lattice periodically with a pulsed weaker incommensurate lattice. The diffusion of wave packets in the pulsed optical lattice exhibits either extended or localized behaviors, which can be well characterized by the mean square displacement and the spatial correlation function. We show that the dynamical localization transition is relevant to both the strength of incommensurate potential and the kicked period, and the transition point can be revealed by the information entropy of eigenfunctions of the Floquet propagator.

description: We use quasiparticle anisotropic hydrodynamics to study the non-conformal and non-extensive dynamics of a system undergoing boost-invariant Bjorken expansion. To introduce nonextensivity, we use an underlying Tsallis distribution with a time-dependent nonextensivity parameter $q$. By taking moments of the quasiparticle Boltzmann equation in the relaxation-time approximation, we obtain dynamical equations which allow us to determine the time evolution of all microscopic parameters including $q$. We compare numerical solutions for bulk observables obtained using the nonextensive evolution with results obtained using quasiparticle anisotropic hydrodynamics with a Boltzmann distribution function ($q \rightarrow 1$). We show that the evolution of the temperature, pressure ratio, and scaled energy density, are quite insensitive to which distribution function is assumed. However, we find significant differences in the early-time evolution of the bulk pressure which are observed for even small deviations from the Boltzmann distribution function. Finally, we discuss the existence of non-conformal hydrodynamic attractors for the longitudinal and transverse pressures, the bulk and shear viscous corrections, and the nonextensivity parameter $q$.

description: To assess the long-term safety of tezepelumab in Japanese patients with severe uncontrolled asthma. This phase III, 52-week, open-label, single-arm study (NOZOMI, NCT04048343) evaluated the safety/tolerability of subcutaneous (SC) tezepelumab 210 mg every 4 weeks (Q4W) in Japanese patients aged 12–80 years with severe uncontrolled asthma using medium- to high-dose inhaled corticosteroids and at least one additional asthma controller medication, with/without oral corticosteroids. Exploratory outcomes included efficacy (asthma exacerbations, lung function, and asthma control), pharmacokinetic parameters, and immunogenicity. Among 65 patients (median age 52 years), 39 (60%) experienced 94 adverse events (AEs; predominantly nasopharyngitis [13/65]) of mild (49.2%), moderate (7.7%), or severe (3.1%) intensity. Two patients had transient injection site erythema related to tezepelumab. Four patients reported serious AEs unrelated to tezepelumab and one AE led to treatment discontinuation. AEs of special interest were infrequent and generally mild/moderate. Apart from a decrease in blood eosinophils (an expected pharmacodynamic effect), no notable trends/clinically relevant changes in hematology, clinical chemistry, or urinalysis parameters were observed. Among exploratory outcomes, tezepelumab was associated with a low annualized asthma exacerbation rate over the study period (0.11/patient-year), improved lung function (mean [standard deviation] change from baseline of 0.075 [0.226] L in pre-dose/pre-bronchodilator forced expiratory volume in 1 s), and better asthma control versus baseline (responder rate: 71.4% at Week 52). Tezepelumab 210 mg SC Q4W in Japanese patients with severe uncontrolled asthma showed safety/tolerability profiles similar to international data, with low exacerbation rates and improvements in lung function and asthma control.

description: We revisit the problem of the "probability of inflation" from the point of view of the Einstein-Cartan theory, where torsion can be present off-shell even in the absence of spinorial currents. An informal estimate suggests that the barrier for tunneling from "nothing" into a classical universe becomes thinner and lower, should torsion be present even if only off-shell. This is confirmed by a detailed calculation, where the usual assumptions are re-evaluated and repurposed in our situation. Interestingly some approximations used in the literature (such as the WKB approximation) are not needed in general, and in particular in our case. When we consider wave packets centered around zero torsion, however, the conclusion depends crucially how these are built. With a Klein-Gordon current prescription for the measure and probability, for small torsion variance, σ_c, we recover the plane wave results. Nonetheless, for large σc, higher order corrections could reverse this conclusion.

description: In this article, for the first time, we propose a transformer network-based reinforcement learning (RL) method for power distribution network (PDN) optimization of high bandwidth memory (HBM). The proposed method can provide an optimal decoupling capacitor (decap) design to maximize the reduction of PDN self- and transfer impedance seen at multiple ports. An attention-based transformer network is implemented to directly parameterize decap optimization policy. The optimality performance is significantly improved since the attention mechanism has powerful expression to explore massive combinatorial space for decap assignments. Moreover, it can capture sequential relationships between the decap assignments. The computing time for optimization is dramatically reduced due to the reusable network on positions of probing ports and decap assignment candidates. This is because the transformer network has a context embedding process to capture meta-features including probing ports positions. In addition, the network is trained with randomly generated data sets. Therefore, without additional training, the trained network can solve new decap optimization problems. The computing time for training and data cost are critically decreased due to the scalability of the network. Thanks to its shared weight property, the network can adapt to a larger scale of problems without additional training. For verification, we compare the results with conventional genetic algorithm (GA), random search (RS), and all the previous RL-based methods. As a result, the proposed method outperforms in all the following aspects: optimality performance, computing time, and data efficiency.

description: Low mass nuclear recoil dark matter and coherent-elastic-neutrino-nucleus-scattering (CENNS) searches confront similar challenges in choosing ultra-low threshold and large-mass detectors. We report experimental results from the first-of-its-kind 100 g single-crystal sapphire detector design with a diameter of 76 mm and thickness of 4 mm. The detector is designed to be sensitive for low-energy rare interactions with an intention to investigate the low mass region of dark matter phase-space and search for CENNS at the reactor site. Sapphire is a crystal of aluminum oxide (Al2O3) and has been found to be a good candidate for light mass spin-dependent dark matter search experiments due to its lower atomic mass compared to other detector materials such as germanium and silicon. Using the data collected from the test facility at Texas A&M University, we were able to resolve low energy lines from calibration sources and estimated that our newly developed sapphire detector has a baseline recoil energy resolution of 18 eV. These detectors are operated at 0 V with the phonon-assisted detection providing a quenching-free low-threshold operation.

description: We improve existing fits of the Bianchi I metric to the Hubble diagram of supernovae and find an intriguing yet non-significant signal for anisotropy that should be verified or falsified in the near future by the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope. Since the literature contains two different formulas for the apparent luminosity as a function of time of flight in Bianchi I metrics, we present an independent derivation confirming the result by Saunders (1969). The present fit differs from earlier ones by Koivisto & Mota and by Campanelli et al. in that we use Saunders' formula, a larger sample of supernovae, Union 2 and JLA, and we use the general Bianchi I metric with three distinct eigenvalues.

description: Much of the current theory of adaptation is based on Gillespie's mutational landscape model (MLM), which assumes that the fitness values of genotypes linked by single mutational steps are independent random variables. On the other hand, a growing body of empirical evidence shows that real fitness landscapes, while possessing a considerable amount of ruggedness, are smoother than predicted by the MLM. In the present article we propose and analyse a simple fitness landscape model with tunable ruggedness based on the Rough Mount Fuji (RMF) model originally introduced by Aita et al. [Biopolymers 54:64-79 (2000)] in the context of protein evolution. We provide a comprehensive collection of results pertaining to the topographical structure of RMF landscapes, including explicit formulae for the expected number of local fitness maxima, the location of the global peak, and the fitness correlation function. The statistics of single and multiple adaptive steps on the RMF landscape are explored mainly through simulations, and the results are compared to the known behavior in the MLM model. Finally, we show that the RMF model can explain the large number of second-step mutations observed on a highly-fit first step backgound in a recent evolution experiment with a microvirid bacteriophage [Miller et al., Genetics 187:185-202 (2011)].
