description: The putative generalization of the thermodynamic uncertainty relation (TUR) to underdamped dynamics is still an open problem. So far, bounds that have been derived for such a dynamics are not particularly transparent and they do not converge to the known TUR in the overdamped limit. Furthermore, it was found that there are restrictions for a TUR to hold such as the absence of a magnetic field. In this article we first analyze the properties of driven free diffusion in the underdamped regime and show that it inherently violates the overdamped TUR for finite times. Based on numerical evidence, we then conjecture a bound for one-dimensional driven diffusion in a potential which is based on the result for free diffusion. This bound converges to the known overdamped TUR in the corresponding limit. Moreover, the conjectured bound holds for observables that involve higher powers of the velocity as long as the observable is odd under time-reversal. Finally, we address the applicability of this bound to underdamped dynamics in higher dimensions.

description: The coming few years are likely to witness a dramatic increase in high quality Sn data as current surveys add more high redshift supernovae to their inventory and as newer and deeper supernova experiments become operational. Given the current variety in dark energy models and the expected improvement in observational data, an accurate and versatile diagnostic of dark energy is the need of the hour. This paper examines the Statefinder diagnostic in the light of the proposed SNAP satellite which is expected to observe about 2000 supernovae per year. We show that the Statefinder is versatile enough to differentiate between dark energy models as varied as the cosmological constant on the one hand, and quintessence, the Chaplygin gas and braneworld models, on the other. Using SNAP data, the Statefinder can distinguish a cosmological constant ($w=-1$) from quintessence models with $w \geq -0.9$ and Chaplygin gas models with $κ\leq 15$ at the $3σ$ level if the value of $\om$ is known exactly. The Statefinder gives reasonable results even when the value of $\om$ is known to only $\sim 20%$ accuracy. In this case, marginalizing over $\om$ and assuming a fiducial LCDM model allows us to rule out quintessence with $w \geq -0.85$ and the Chaplygin gas with $κ\leq 7$ (both at $3σ$). These constraints can be made even tighter if we use the Statefinders in conjunction with the deceleration parameter. The Statefinder is very sensitive to the total pressure exerted by all forms of matter and radiation in the universe. It can therefore differentiate between dark energy models at moderately high redshifts of $z \lleq 10$.

description: Gliese 86 is a nearby K dwarf hosting a giant planet on a $\approx$16-day orbit and an outer white dwarf companion on a $\approx$century-long orbit. In this study we combine radial velocity data (including new measurements spanning more than a decade) with high angular resolution imaging and absolute astrometry from Hipparcos and Gaia to measure the current orbits and masses of both companions. We then simulate the evolution of the Gl 86 system to constrain its primordial orbit when both stars were on the main sequence; the closest approach between the two stars was then about $9\,$AU. Such a close separation limited the size of the protoplanetary disk of Gl 86 A and dynamically hindered the formation of the giant planet around it. Our measurements of Gl 86 B and Gl 86 Ab's orbits reveal Gl 86 as a system in which giant planet formation took place in a disk truncated at $\approx$2$\,$AU. Such a disk would be just big enough to harbor the dust mass and total mass needed to assemble Gl 86 Ab's core and envelope, assuming a high disk accretion rate and a low viscosity. Inefficient accretion of the disk onto Gl 86 Ab, however, would require a disk massive enough to approach the Toomre stability limit at its outer truncation radius. The orbital architecture of the Gl 86 system shows that giant planets can form even in severely truncated disks and provides an important benchmark for planet formation theory.

description: Coinductive reasoning about infinitary structures such as streams is widely applicable. However, practical frameworks for developing coinductive proofs and finding reasoning principles that help structure such proofs remain a challenge, especially in the context of machine-checked formalization. This paper gives a novel presentation of an equational theory for reasoning about structures up to weak bisimulation. The theory is both compositional, making it suitable for defining general-purpose lemmas, and also incremental, meaning that the bisimulation can be created interactively. To prove the theory's soundness, this paper also introduces generalized parameterized coinduction, which addresses expressivity problems of earlier works and provides a practical framework for coinductive reasoning. The paper presents the resulting equational theory for streams, but the technique applies to other structures too. All of the results in this paper have been proved in Coq, and the generalized parameterized coinduction framework is available as a Coq library.

description: We study the response of a two-dimensional hexagonal packing of rigid, frictionless spherical grains due to a vertically downward point force on a single grain at the top layer. We use a statistical approach, where each configuration of the contact forces is equally likely. We show that this problem is equivalent to a correlated $q$-model. We find that the response displays two peaks which lie precisely on the downward lattice directions emanating from the point of application of the force. With increasing depth, the magnitude of the peaks decreases, and a central peak develops. On the bottom of the pile, only the middle peak persists. The response of different system sizes exhibits self-similarity.

description: In skeletal muscles the sialic acids are very important for the functional maintenance of glycoproteins involved in fiber structure and neuromuscular junctions, development and regeneration, muscle excitability and exercise performance. The aim of this work was to investigate the sialylation in mouse skeletal muscle tissue and C2C12 mouse myotube cell culture in the aspect of localization of α-2,3- and α-2,6-sialylated glycoproteins, relative quantification of expressions of ST3Gal, ST6Gal and ST6GalNAc sialyltransferases specific for glycoproteins and comparison of the α-2,3- and α-2,6-sialylated glycoprotein profiles. Expressions of the enzymes ST6Gal2 and ST6GalNAc1 were not found in both experimental groups, and expressions of ST3Gal6 and ST6GalNAc3 were not detected in the myotube cell cultures. The different patterns of enzyme expressions in both experimental groups corresponded with differences between their α-2,3- and α-2,6-sialylated glycoprotein profiles. These results could be a useful addendum to the knowledge concerning the glycosylation of the skeletal muscle tissue. In addition, this report would be helpful and informative for any researches in future where the C2C12 myotube cell cultures will take a place as an experimental model.

description: The merging of double white dwarfs (WDs) may produce the events of accretion-induced collapse (AIC) and form single neutron stars (NSs). Meanwhile, it is also notable that the recently proposed WD+He subgiant scenario has a significant contribution to the production of massive double WDs, in which the primary WD grows in mass by accreting He-rich material from a He subgiant companion. In this work, we aim to study the binary population synthesis (BPS) properties of AIC events from the double WD mergers by considering the classical scenarios and also the contribution of theWD+He subgiant scenario to the formation of double WDs. First, we provided a dense and large model grid of WD+He star systems for producing AIC events through the double WD merger scenario. Secondly, we performed several sets of BPS calculations to obtain the rates and single NS number in our Galaxy. We found that the rates of AIC events from the double WD mergers in the Galaxy are in the range of 1.4-8.9*10^-3 yr^-1 for all ONe/CO WD+ONe/CO WD mergers, and in the range of 0.3-3.8*10^-3 yr^-1 when double COWD mergers are not considered.We also found that the number of single NSs from AIC events in our Galaxy may range from 0.328*10^7 to 1.072*10^8. The chirp mass of double WDs for producing AIC events distribute in the range of 0.55-1.25 Msun. We estimated that more than half of doubleWDs for producing AIC events are capable to be observed by the future space-based gravitational wave detectors.

description: A complex survey design often necessitates the use of some approxima— tion technique when calculating regression standard errors. Two appro— ximation procedures, the Taylor expansion method (TEM) and balanced repeated replication (BRR) technique, were compared to ordinary least squares (OLS) and weighted least squares (WLS). While the regression coefficients were similar across all procedures, TEM and BRR produced larger standard error estimates than did OLS and WLS.

description: We study a version of the minority game in which one agent is allowed to join the game in a random fashion. It is shown that in the crowded regime, i.e., for small values of the memory size $m$ of the agents in the population, the agent performs significantly well if she decides to participate the game randomly with a probability $q$ {\em and} she records the performance of her strategies only in the turns that she participates. The information, characterized by a quantity called the inefficiency, embedded in the agent's strategies performance turns out to be very different from that of the other agents. Detailed numerical studies reveal a relationship between the success rate of the agent and the inefficiency. The relationship can be understood analytically in terms of the dynamics in which the various possible histories are being visited as the game proceeds. For a finite fraction of randomly participating agents up to 60% of the population, it is found that the winning edge of these agents persists.

description: Tangled, primordial cosmic magnetic fields create small rotational velocity perturbations on the last scattering surface (LSS) of the cosmic microwave background radiation (CMBR). Such perturbations can contribute significantly to the CMBR temperature and polarization anisotropies at large l > 1000 or so, like the excess power detected by the CBI experiment. The magnetic contribution can be distinguished from most conventional signals, as they lead to CMBR polarization dominated by the odd parity, B-type signal. Experiments like DASI and WMAP have detected evidence for CMBR polarization at small l. Many experiments will also probe the large $l$ regime. We therefore calculate the polarization signals due to primordial magnetic fields, for different spectra and different cosmological parameters. A scale-invariant spectrum of tangled fields which redshifts to a present value B_{0}=3\times 10^{-9} Gauss, produces B-type polarization anisotropies of order 0.3 - 0.4 micro Kelvin between l of 1000-5000. Larger signals result if the spectral index of magnetic tangles is steeper, n>-3. The peak of the signal shifts to larger l for a lambda-dominated universe, or if the baryon density is larger. The signal will also have non-Gaussian statistics. We also predict the much smaller E-type polarization, and T-E cross correlations for these models.

In the past, this responsibility was recognized primarily by directors of larger cooperatives. Today, directors of all cooperatives recognize the importance and necessity for objectively appraising the manager’s performance. Many smaller cooperatives don’t have the advantage of a personnel department to implement a program of appraisal or provide the training to productively conduct the appraisal. The publication is a selection of proven tools from multiple sources. It provides every cooperative with the necessary tools to implement and conduct a proper system for evaluation.

description: Citrus is one of the leading fruit crops produced in the United States. Cooperatives play an important role in the handling and marketing of both fresh and processed citrus products. This report examines the development and position of cooperatives in the citrus industry, their functions and operating practices, and the impact of changes in production practices and industry structure on cooperatives. Cooperatives range from small, local fresh packinghouse associations to large cooperative federations with comprehensive marketing and sales programs in both fresh and processed markets. Cooperatives are among the leading marketers in all producing areas, and are the dominant marketing organization in California and Arizona. Citrus cooperatives use the pooling method to market and allocate returns. This cooperative practice of averaging price and sharing risk is commonly used by some private citrus firms as well, reflecting the inherent volatility of citrus production.

description: Fluorescence molecular tomography (FMT) is an emerging powerful tool for biomedical research. There are two factors that influence FMT reconstruction most effectively. The first one is the regularization techniques. Traditional methods such as Tikhonov regularization suffer from low resolution and poor signal to noise ratio. Therefore sparse regularization techniques have been introduced to improve the reconstruction quality. The second factor is the illumination pattern. A better illumination pattern ensures the quantity and quality of the information content of the data set thus leading to better reconstructions. In this work, we take advantage of the discrete formulation of the forward problem to give a rigorous definition of an illumination pattern as well as the admissible set of patterns. We add restrictions in the admissible set as different types of regularizers to a discrepancy functional, generating another inverse problem with the illumination pattern as unknown. Both inverse problems of reconstructing the fluorescence distribution and finding the optimal illumination pattern are solved by fast efficient iterative algorithms. Numerical experiments have shown that with a suitable choice of the regularization parameters the two-step approach converges to an optimal illumination pattern quickly and the reconstruction result is improved significantly, regardless of the initial illumination setting.

description: We develop an alternative approach to study the effect of the generic perturbation (in addition to explicitly considering the loss term) in the nonlinear Klein-Gordon equations. By a change of the variables that cancel the dissipation term we are able to write the Lagrangian density and then, calculate the Lagrangian as a function of collective variables. We use the Lagrangian formalism together with the Rice {\it Ansatz} to derive the equations of motion of the collective coordinates (CCs) for the perturbed sine-Gordon (sG) and $ϕ^{4}$ systems. For the $N$ collective coordinates, regardless of the {\it Ansatz} used, we show that, for the nonlinear Klein-Gordon equations, this approach is equivalent to the {\it Generalized Traveling Wave Ansatz} ({\it GTWA})

description: Donaldson defined a parabolic flow on Kahler manifolds which arises from considering the action of a group of symplectomorphisms on the space of smooth maps between manifolds. One can define a moment map for this action, and then consider the gradient flow of the square of its norm. Chen discovered the same flow from a different viewpoint and called it the J-flow, since it corresponds to the gradient flow of his J-functional, which is related to Mabuchi's K-energy. In this paper, we show that in the case of Kahler surfaces with two Kahler forms satisfying a certain inequality, the J-flow converges to a zero of the moment map.

description: The historical and contemporary under-attribution of women's contributions to scientific scholarship is well-known and well-studied, with effects that are felt today in myriad ways by women scientists. One measure of this under-attribution is the so-called citation gap between men and women: the under-citation of papers authored by women relative to expected rates coupled with a corresponding over-citation of papers authored by men relative to expected rates. We explore the citation gap in contemporary physics, analyzing over one million articles published over the last 25 years in 35 physics journals that span a wide range of subfields. Using a model that predicts papers' expected citation rates according to a set of characteristics separate from author gender, we find a global bias wherein papers authored by women are significantly under-cited, and papers authored by men are significantly over-cited. Moreover, we find that citation behavior varies along several dimensions, such that imbalances differ according to who is citing, where they are citing, and how they are citing. Specifically, citation imbalance in favor of man-authored papers is highest for papers authored by men, papers published in general physics journals, and papers likely to be less familiar to citing authors. Our results suggest that, although deciding which papers to cite is an individual choice, the cumulative effects of these choices needlessly harm a subset of scholars. We discuss several strategies for the mitigation of these effects, including conscious behavioral changes at the individual, journal, and community levels.

title: Fracture Toughness of Dental Amalgams
Creators: name: Hayes, D. A.
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1993

description: This work shows that there is a requirement for a test, in addition to those specified in BS 2938:1985, for predicting the performance of dental amalgams. The SEN type of test to find the fracture toughness (KIC) is capable of distinguishing between amalgams that are reputed to have satisfactory clinical performance, and those which are considered to have poor clinical performance. Factors such as the mode of loading and the age of the specimen influence the calculated value of KIC.

 A method of calculating KIC from the Vickers hardness test is reported in this work. Provided the method is conducted with a suitable applied load, to obtain a clearly defined indentation which possesses single cracks at each apex, then KIC values correlate well with those of bulk testing. The indentation method also allows the effects of crack path and constituent phases to be assessed.

description: Classification of topological phononics is challenging due to the lack of universal topological invariants and the randomness of structure patterns. Here, we show the unsupervised manifold learning for clustering topological phononics without any priori knowledge, neither topological invariants nor supervised trainings, even when systems are imperfect or disordered. This is achieved by exploiting the real-space projection operator about finite phononic lattices to describe the correlation between oscillators. We exemplify the efficient unsupervised manifold clustering in typical phononic systems, including one-dimensional Su-Schrieffer-Heeger-type phononic chain with random couplings, amorphous phononic topological insulators, higher-order phononic topological states and non-Hermitian phononic chain with random dissipations. The results would inspire more efforts on applications of unsupervised machine learning for topological phononic devices and beyond.

description: The discovery of jets from tidal disruption events (TDEs) rejuvenated the old field of relativistic jets powered by accretion onto supermassive black holes. In this Chapter, we first review the extensive multi-wavelength observations of jetted TDEs. Then, we show that these events provide valuable information on many aspects of jet physics from a new prospective, including the on-and-off switch of jet launching, jet propagation through the ambient medium, $γ/$X-ray radiation mechanism, jet composition, and the multi-messenger picture. Finally, open questions and future prospects in this field are summarized.

Low Energy Effective Action for Dilatonic Braneworld --A Formalism for Inflationary Braneworld--

description: We derive the low energy effective action for the dilatonic braneworld. In the case of the single-brane model, we find the effective theory is described by the Einstein-scalar theory coupled to the dark radiation. Remarkably, the dark radiation is not conserved in general due to a coupling to the bulk scalar field. The effective action incorporating Kaluza-Klein (KK) corrections is obtained and the role of the AdS/CFT correspondence in the dilatonic braneworld is revealed. In particular, it is shown that CFT matter would not be confined to the braneworld in the presence of the bulk scalar field. The relation between our analysis and the geometrical projection method is also clarified. In the case of the two-brane model, the effective theory reduces to a scalar-tensor theory with a non-trivial coupling between the radion and the bulk scalar field.

Searching for degeneracies of real Hamiltonians using homotopy classification of loops in SO($n$)

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)

description: Topological tests to detect degeneracies of Hamiltonians have been put forward in the past. Here, we address the applicability of a recently proposed test [Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 92}, 060406 (2004)] for degeneracies of real Hamiltonian matrices. This test relies on the existence of nontrivial loops in the space of eigenbases SO$(n)$. We develop necessary means to determine the homotopy class of a given loop in this space. Furthermore, in cases where the dimension of the relevant Hilbert space is large the application of the original test may not be immediate. To remedy this deficiency, we put forward a condition for when the test is applicable to a subspace of Hilbert space. Finally, we demonstrate that applying the methodology of [Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 92}, 060406 (2004)] to the complex Hamiltonian case does not provide any new information.

We assume that the displacement is antiplane, and that the cracks and the plastic slips are localized on a prescribed path. We provide numerical evidence of the fact that the crack growth is intermittent, with jump characteristics that depend on the material properties.

description: {\it Chandra} X-ray observations of Kepler's supernova remnant indicate the existence of a high speed Fe-rich ejecta structure in the southwestern region. We report strong K-shell emission from Fe-peak elements (Cr, Mn, Fe, Ni), as well as Ca, in this Fe-rich structure, implying that those elements could be produced in the inner area of the exploding white dwarf. We found Ca/Fe, Cr/Fe, Mn/Fe and Ni/Fe mass ratios of 1.0--4.1\%, 1.0--4.6\%, 1--11\% and 2--30\%, respectively. In order to constrain the burning regime that could produce this structure, we compared these observed mass ratios with those in 18 one-dimensional Type Ia nucleosynthesis models (including both near-$M_{\rm Ch}$ and sub-$M_{\rm Ch}$ explosion models). The observed mass ratios agree well with those around the middle layer of incomplete Si-burning in Type Ia nucleosynthesis models with a peak temperature of $\sim$(5.0--5.3)$\times$10$^{9}$ K and a high metallicity, Z $>$ 0.0225. Based on our results, we infer the necessity for some mechanism to produce protruding Fe-rich clumps dominated by incomplete Si-burning products during the explosion. We also discuss the future perspectives of X-ray observations of Fe-rich structures in other Type Ia supernova remnants.

description: The Gram spectrahedron of a real form $f\in\mathbb{R}[\underline{x}]_{2d}$ parametrizes all sum of squares representations of $f$. It is a compact, convex, semi-algebraic set, and we study its facial structure in the case of ternary quartics, i.e. $f\in\mathbb{R}[x,y,z]_4$. We show that the Gram spectrahedron of every smooth ternary quartic has faces of dimension 2, and generically none of dimension 1. We complete the proof that the so called Steiner graph of every smooth quartic is isomorphic to $K_4\coprod K_4$. Moreover, we show that the Gram spectrahedron of a generic psd ternary quartic contains points of all ranks in the Pataki interval.
