description: A drop of water deposited on a cold plate freezes into an ice drop with a pointy tip. While this phenomenon clearly finds its origin in the expansion of water upon freezing, a quantitative description of the tip singularity has remained elusive. Here we demonstrate how the geometry of the freezing front, determined by heat transfer considerations, is crucial for the tip formation. We perform systematic measurements of the angles of the conical tip, and reveal the dynamics of the solidification front in a Hele-Shaw geometry. It is found that the cone angle is independent of substrate temperature and wetting angle, suggesting a universal, self-similar mechanism that does not depend on the rate of solidification. We propose a model for the freezing front and derive resulting tip angles analytically, in good agreement with observations.

Unsuspected implications arising from assumptions in simulations: insights from recasting a forest growth model in system dynamics

Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Quantitative Methods (q-bio.QM)

description: Familiarity with a simulation platform can seduce modellers into accepting untested assumptions for convenience of implementation. These assumptions may have consequences greater than commonly suspected, and it is important that modellers remain mindful of assumptions and remain diligent with sensitivity testing. Familiarity with a technique can lead to complacency, and alternative approaches and software can reveal untested assumptions. Visual modelling environments based on system dynamics may help to make critical assumptions more evident by offering an accessible visual overview and empowering a focus on representational rather than computational efficiency. This capacity is illustrated using a cohort-based forest growth model developed for mixed species forest. The alternative model implementation revealed that untested assumptions in the original model could have substantial influence on simulated outcomes. An important implication is that modellers should remain conscious of all assumptions, consider alternative implementations that reveal assumptions more clearly, and conduct sensitivity tests to inform decisions.

description: Cave systems fed with hydrogen sulfide-rich groundwater are unique chemoautotrophy-dependent ecosystems. Although globally widespread and known to harbor unique subterranean metazoan communities, they have mostly been studied in Europe and North America, less so in Asia. Here, we report on a discovery of a new species of amphipod crustacean from sulfidic waters of Tashan-Chah Kabootari aquifer from Zagros Mountains in Iran. The new species corresponds morphologically to the melitid genus Tegano Barnard & Karaman, 1982, and Tegano tashanensis sp. nov. is the first amphipod from the superfamily Hadzioidea found exclusively in sulfidic water. Phylogenies derived from the mitochondrial COI and the nuclear 28S rRNA sequences recover T. tashanensis sp. nov. in a clade that contains representatives of the currently para- or polyphyletic genera Barnardomelita, Brachina, Josephosella, and Tegano indicating the need for a revised melitid genus level systematics. This clade comprises marine, freshwater and subterranean species globally distributed in regions that were connected by the ancient Tethys Sea. As such, these taxa may be suitable biogeographic models for studying past dispersal, vicariance and multiple colonization of inland groundwaters.

description: A reverse vortex flow gliding arc discharge in a fuel-rich premixed mixture was applied to a high swirl fuel-lean global combustion to accelerate fuel oxidation. Both the discharge and flame were generated in natural gas and air. To evaluate the role of the gliding arc in the process, a gas analysis of the exhaust gas was performed in the same operational conditions with and without plasma. The chemical measurements show that the plasma reduces carbon monoxide and unburned hydrocarbons contents with a low impact on the NOx level. Furthermore, the comparison of the relative decrease of the hydrocarbon emissions shows that the hydrocarbons have different sensitivities to the plasma application.

description: Abstract
Personal hygiene is the practice of keeping oneself clean and caring for oneself in order to promote general health and stop the transmission of infections. Maintaining one's own cleanliness is referred to as personal hygiene. All of the external body's parts need to be kept clean and in good condition for good personal hygiene. It is crucial for preserving both physical and mental wellness.Consumer psychology is the study of human behaviour regarding their buying patterns, customs, and preferences in relation to consumer products, including their reactions and preferences to the products. This concept aims to evaluate and understand consumers and the decision-making process. The use of hygiene products is rising due to the initiatives taken by Governing agencies to encourage the adoption of hygiene products by organizing health awareness campaigns to restrict spread of dieses. There are five types of personal hygiene; Hair Hygiene, Hand Hygiene, Oral Hygiene, Body Hygiene and Intimate Hygiene. The present research was conducted to study the psychology of women consumers towards the use of personal hygiene products. In this study their awareness for personal hygiene products and usage patterns were studied. Women consumers have psychological factors and psychological purposes in their minds behind the use or non-use of personal hygiene products. In this study, the various psychological factors that influence women consumers' use of personal hygiene products were investigated. The study is descriptive research based on primary data collected from 200 women consumers of personal hygiene products. From the study it is found that all women consumers were not using personal hygiene products but maximum women consumers were using personal hygiene products because they are aware about personal hygiene products and considered personal hygiene products are necessary for them. The psychological factors and psychological purpose play an important role in the acceptance of personal hygiene products in a varied proportion.

description: Hybrid rockets have distinct advantages over their pure solid or liquid propellant counterparts, and their performance can be improved by inclusion of metal additives. Several metallic additives (micro-Al, micro-Ti, micro-Mg, micro-Zr, nano-Al, nano-B, and Mg-coated nano-B) were selected as potential candidates for hybrid rocket applications and characterized by applicable microscopy techniques. The regression rates and combustion efficiencies of plain HTPB and HTPB loaded with each additive at various concentrations (10%, 20%, and 30% by mass) burning in GOX were evaluated at moderate oxidizer mass fluxes (10–150 kg/m2-s) and pressures (≤ 0.86 MPa, 125 psia). In general, the inclusion of any of the metallic additives led to a reduction in the regression rate and did not significantly change the combustion efficiency. The only exceptions were fuel formulations containing micro-Zr, which yielded a moderate (10–20%) increase in the regression rate at a concentration of 10%. The observed trends were more prevalent at higher oxidizer mass fluxes and higher additive loadings. The reductions in regression rate were attributed to heat transfer blocking effects derived from accumulation of additive particles on the fuel surface layer. These phenomena were especially prevalent in highly loaded fuel formulations containing the nano-additives that exhibited unstable combustion and periodic surface-layer shedding. Zirconium appears to be the best metallic additive available since it can yield the highest theoretical density-specific impulse under the lowest O/F operation ratio without resulting in decrements to overall performance. Notably, combustion efficiency data for all fuel formulations were well correlated to the combustion residence time, and high combustion efficiencies (>95%) were achievable when a satisfactory residence time (~75 ms) was realized.

description: We study the fate of the Kondo effect with one-dimensional conduction baths at very low densities, such that the system explores the bottom of the conduction band. This can involve either finite low densities, or a small number of fixed conduction electrons in a large system, i.e., the limit of large bath sizes can be taken with either fixed small density or with fixed number. We characterize the Kondo physics for such systems through the energy gain due to Kondo coupling, which is a general analog of the Kondo temperature scale, and through real-space profiles of densities and spin-spin correlation functions.

description: Weyl semimetals are a three-dimensional topological phase of matter with isolated band touchings in the Brillouin Zone. These points have an associated chirality, and many of the proposals to detect the Weyl semimetal state rely on the chiral anomaly. A consequence of the chiral anomaly is that under the application of an $\vec{E}\cdot\vec{B}$ field, charge is transferred between points of opposite chirality. In this paper we propose an optical absorption experiment that provides evidence for the chiral anomaly. We use the Kubo formula, and find that an applied $\vec{E}\cdot\vec{B}$ induces the formation of step-like features at finite frequency in the interband optical conductivity. We study the effect of scattering, and finite temperatures on this feature and find that it should be observable at low temperatures in pure samples. Finally we discuss how the application of an $\vec{E}\cdot\vec{B}$ field can be used to map out the frequency dependence of the scattering rate.

Nonexistence of entangled continuous-variable Werner states with positive partial transpose

description: We address an open question about the existence of entangled continuous-variable (CV) Werner states with positive partial transpose (PPT). We prove that no such state exists by showing that all PPT CV Werner states are separable. The separability follows by observing that these CV Werner states can be approximated by truncating the states into a finite-dimensional convex mixture of product states. In addition, the constituents of the product states comprise a generalized non-Gaussian measurement which gives, rather surprisingly, a strictly tighter upper bound on quantum discord than photon counting. These results uncover the presence of only negative partial transpose entanglement and illustrate the complexity of more general non-classical correlations in this paradigmatic class of genuine non-Gaussian quantum states.

description: We propose to use quantum computers to simulate infection spreading in networks. We first show the analogy between the infection distribution and spin-lattice configurations with Ising-type interactions. Then, since the spreading process can be modeled as a classical Markovian process, we show that the spreading process can be simulated using the evolution of a quantum thermal dynamic model with a parameterized Hamiltonian. In particular, we analytically and numerically analyze the evolution behavior of the Hamiltonian, and prove that the evolution simulates a classical Markovian process, which describes the well-known epidemiological stochastic susceptible and infectious (SI) model. A practical method to determine the parameters of the thermal dynamic Hamiltonian from epidemiological inputs is exhibited. As an example, we simulate the infection spreading process of the SARS-Cov-2 variant Omicron in a small-world network.

description: This study investigated the implication of various factors, including climatic conditions, social-economic variables, agricultural inputs, technological development, institutional support, and adaptation strategies in the agricultural sector of Gujarat. A confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was used to analyse the farm-level data from 240 randomly selected farmers across eight districts. The study found that farm income per hectare is influenced by climate adaptation strategies, appropriate technology, annual income, education level, family size, fertilizer application, farm income from cash crops, financial support from the government, and access to credit. The study recommends the use of appropriate technology and adaptation strategies to mitigate the negative impact of climate change, as well as increase farmers’ access to credit, diversify crops, and encourage technological development in the agricultural sector. In addition, agricultural extension and development agencies should train farmers regularly to improve their understanding of climate adaptation practices and other inputs.

description: The Irish party system has been exceptional both for the weakness of its left-right conflict and for its long-run stability. How then can party competition on policy, and particularly competition between the main parties, be characterised? This study examines the Irish party system from an issue competition perspective, examining the party system agenda and asking whether Irish party competition is marked by differences in issue focus. New data from Irish party manifestos (1981–2020) coded within the framework of the Comparative Agendas Project show that rather than competing by focusing on different issues, Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael’s issue focus is very similar and has moved in parallel over time. Nor is a distinct focus on new issues evident in Sinn Féin’s offering as they have emerged as a major party. Moreover, it finds that ‘new politics’ issues have remained marginal and it examines how this has occurred using the ‘crucial case’ of environmental policy. While differences in issue focus do not help us to distinguish the main parties, the politics of competence continues to have an important role and positional politics may be coming to the fore.
Searching for Spectroscopic Signatures of Ongoing Quenching in SDSS Galaxies

description: In this paper we estimate the "star formation change parameter", SFR$_{79}$, which characterizes the current SFR relative to the average during the last 800 Myr, for $\sim$ 300'000 galaxies selected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). The goals are to examine, in a much larger and independent sample, the trends previously reported in a sample of star-forming MaNGA galaxies, and also to search for spectroscopic signatures of ongoing quenching in the so-called "Green Valley", which is generally believed to contain galaxies that are migrating from the star-forming (SF) population to the quenched population of galaxies. Measuring SFR$_{79}$ for our large sample of SDSS galaxies, we first confirm the basic results of SF galaxies published by Wang & Lilly. We then discuss in detail the calibration and meaning of SFR$_{79}$ for galaxies that are well below the SFMS and establish the expected statistical signature of systematic ongoing quenching from modelling the z$\sim$0 quenching rate of the SF population. We conclude that it is not possible at present to establish unambiguous observational evidence for systematic ongoing quenching processes, due to limitations both in the noise of the observational data, in particular in the measurements of H$δ$ absorption, and in the calibration of SFR$_{79}$, as well as biases introduced by the necessity of selecting objects with significant H$α$ emission. We do however see plausible indications of ongoing quenching, which are quantitatively consistent with expectations from "growth+quenching" models of galaxy evolution and a typical e-folding timescale for quenching of $\sim500$ Myr.

We also conjecture, and in some cases prove, new identities which relate infinite sums of symmetric polynomials and partition functions associated with symmetry classes of alternating sign matrices. These identities generalize those already found in our earlier paper, via the introduction of additional parameters. The left hand side of each of our identities is a simple refinement of a relevant Cauchy or Littlewood identity. The right hand side of each identity is (one of the two factors present in) the partition function of the six-vertex model on a relevant domain.

description: This article analyses the legislative agenda in Ireland since 1922 using new data coded within the Comparative Agendas Project framework. The data, generated using the codebook of the Irish Policy Agendas Project (http://irishpolicyagendas.eu/), show clear evidence of long-term changes in the complexity, issue focus, and Europeanisation of the legislative agenda in Ireland. The study uses the Irish case to test some existing arguments concerning the influence on the policy agenda of governments’ political capacity and pressures generated by policy problems. Its findings suggest that government capacity influences the agenda, but not in the way theorised: greater capacity leads, on average, to higher stability; more specifically, this effect is evident in the absence of government turnover, as governments maintain a focus on ‘their own’ issues as they continue in office. There is no evidence that the pressure to solve policy problems, in the form of weak or negative economic growth, influences the stability of the legislative agenda. The article contributes to the study of agenda stability, the analysis of Irish politics and public policy, and it provides a basis for coding comparable data across other policy agendas in Ireland.

description: Polyurethane (PU) is widely used in high performance adhesives, where viscosity and curing trends are very important. Bonab and others described PU viscosity changes during polymerization.They argued that due to competing effects of heat transfer, which tends to lower viscosity, and polymerization reaction, which tends to increase viscosity, in the first stage, viscosity is constant or it can slightly drop. In this work viscosity changes during polymerization were investigated as well as NCO groups changes during the polymerization between industrially widespread isocyanate and polyols.

NLTE 1.5D Modeling of Red Giant Stars

Subjects: subject: Solar and Stellar Astrophysics (astro-ph.SR)

description: Spectra for 2D stars in the 1.5D approximation are created from synthetic spectra of 1D non-local thermodynamic equilibrium (NLTE) spherical model atmospheres produced by the PHOENIX code. The 1.5D stars have the spatially averaged Rayleigh-Jeans flux of a K3-4 III star, while varying the temperature difference between the two 1D component models ($ΔT_{\mathrm{1.5D}}$), and the relative surface area covered. Synthetic observable quantities from the 1.5D stars are fitted with quantities from NLTE and local thermodynamic equilibrium (LTE) 1D models to assess the errors in inferred $T_{\mathrm{eff}}$ values from assuming horizontal homogeneity and LTE. Five different quantities are fit to determine the $T_{\mathrm{eff}}$ of the 1.5D stars: UBVRI photometric colors, absolute surface flux SEDs, relative SEDs, continuum normalized spectra, and TiO band profiles. In all cases except the TiO band profiles, the inferred $T_{\mathrm{eff}}$ value increases with increasing $ΔT_{\mathrm{1.5D}}$. In all cases, the inferred $T_{\mathrm{eff}}$ value from fitting 1D LTE quantities is higher than from fitting 1D NLTE quantities and is approximately constant as a function of $ΔT_{\mathrm{1.5D}}$ within each case. The difference between LTE and NLTE for the TiO bands is caused indirectly by the NLTE temperature structure of the upper atmosphere, as the bands are computed in LTE. We conclude that the difference between $T_{\mathrm{eff}}$ values derived from NLTE and LTE modelling is relatively insensitive to the degree of the horizontal inhomogeneity of the star being modeled, and largely depends on the observable quantity being fit.

description: We study a sample of 69 X-ray detected Early Type Galaxies (ETGs), selected from the Chandra COSMOS survey, to explore the relation between the X-ray luminosity of hot gaseous halos (L_X, gas) and the integrated stellar luminosity (L_K) of the galaxies, in a range of redshift extending out to z=1.5. In the local universe a tight steep relationship has been stablished between these two quantities (L_X,gas~ L_K^4.5) suggesting the presence of largely virialized halos in X-ray luminous systems. We use well established relations from the study of local universe ETGs, together with the expected evolution of the X-ray emission, to subtract the contribution of low mass X-ray binary populations (LMXBs) from the X-ray luminosity of our sample. Our selection minimizes the presence of active galactic nuclei (AGN), yielding a sample representative of normal passive COSMOS ETGs; therefore the resulting luminosity should be representative of gaseous halos, although we cannot exclude other sources such as obscured AGN, or enhanced X-ray emission connected with embedded star formation in the higher z galaxies. We find that most of the galaxies with estimated L_X<10^42 erg/s and z<0.55 follow the L_X,gas- L_K relation of local universe ETGs. For these galaxies, the gravitational mass can be estimated with a certain degree of confidence from the local virial relation. However, the more luminous (10^42

description: We consider two classes of quantum generalisations of Random Access Code (RAC) and study lower bounds for probabilities of success for such tasks. It provides a useful framework for the study of certain information processing tasks with constrained resources. The first class is based on a random access code with quantum inputs and output known as No-Signalling Quantum RAC (NS-QRAC) [A. Grudka et al. Phys. Rev. A 92, 052312 (2015)], where unbounded entanglement and constrained classical communication are allowed, which can be seen as quantum teleportation with constrained classical communication, for which we provide a quantum lower bound. We consider two modifications to the NS-QRAC scenario, first where unbounded entanglement and constrained quantum communication is allowed and, second where bounded entanglement and unconstrained classical communication are allowed, where we find a monogamy relation for the transmission fidelities, which -- in contrast to the usual communication schemes -- involves multiple senders and a single receiver. We provide lower bounds for these scenarios. The second class is based on a random access code with a quantum channel and shared entanglement [A. Tavakoli et al. PRX Quantum 2 (4) 040357 (2021)]. We study the set of tasks where two inputs made of two digits of $d$-base are encoded over a qudit and a maximally entangled state, which can be seen as quantum dense coding with constrained quantum communication, for which we provide quantum lower bounds for $d=2,3,4$. The encoding employed utilises Gray codes.

description: We propose a technique for sensitive magnetic point force detection using a suspended carbon nanotube (CNT) mechanical resonator combined with a magnetic field gradient generated by a ferromagnetic gate electrode. Numerical calculations of the mechanical resonance frequency show that single Bohr magneton changes in the magnetic state of an individual magnetic molecule grafted to the CNT can translate to detectable frequency shifts, on the order of a few kHz. The dependences of the resonator response to device parameters such as length, tension, CNT diameter, and gate voltage are explored and optimal operating conditions are identified. A signal-to-noise analysis shows that in principle, magnetic switching at the level of a single Bohr magneton can be read out in a single shot on timescales as short as 10 microseconds. This force sensor should enable new studies of spin dynamics in isolated single molecule magnets, free from the crystalline or ensemble settings typically studied.

description: This proceedings article and the poster report experimental investigation of betaine blends with xylitol. Betaine mixtures with 60-65%wt. xylitol can liquefy without any chemical reaction and retain fluidity for prolonged durations. Mixtures outside this ratio are not as stable and might form excessive solids. Measurement of melting or freezing points might not be appropriate when supercooling effects are significant. Solids formation should be monitored. Formation of small amounts of solids on the DES surface could not be avoided. Effects of humidity should be considered.This study was carried out under project TERMINUS, funded by the European Union under Horizon 2020. Call: H2020-NMBP-ST-IND-2018. Grant Agreement: 814400.

description: Coins are frequently used in everyday life at various places like in banks, grocery stores, supermarkets, automated weighing machines, vending machines etc. So, there is a basic need to automate the counting and sorting of coins. For this machines need to recognize the coins very fast and accurately, as further transaction processing depends on this recognition. Three types of systems are available in the market: Mechanical method based systems, Electromagnetic method based systems and Image processing based systems. This paper presents an overview of available systems and techniques based on image processing to recognize ancient and modern coins.

description: We calculate the effective masses of neutrons and protons in dense nuclear matter within the microscopic Brueckner-Hartree-Fock many-body theory and study the impact on the neutrino emissivity processes of neutron stars. We compare results based on different nucleon-nucleon potentials and nuclear three-body forces. Useful parametrizations of the numerical results are given. We find substantial in-medium suppression of the emissivities, strongly dependent on the interactions.

The Illegible Other: Comparative Reactivity to the Past and Present in Russia and Germany

Publisher: name: Stanford Digital Repository

Subjects: Russia, Germany

description: Russia is the furthest it has been since its independence from being an accepted member of the global order or a major player in bilateral or multilateral relations with the West. The process that began with its failure to democratize has followed an accelerated trajectory toward autocracy in the 21st century under Vladimir Putin’s leadership. Russia’s severance from the West has led many countries to reflect on their policy towards Putin’s government and scramble to backfill the ruptured economic ties that persisted after Russia’s 2014 invasion of Ukraine and annexation of Crimea made it clear that Russia was a fully unreliable political partner. Germany, having lost such a well-established partner, may be left with the most pressing questions. Any number of iterations of “How could they have gotten Russia so wrong?” now resonates with those that feel they’ve known for years that Russia would act the way it has in recent years. This paper addresses this question from the perspective of their comparative experiences with democratization. To understand the growth and mistakes that underpin Germany’s relationship with Russia, this paper looks at their differing experiences with democratization emphasizing their reactivity to their past and transferring this frame to their bilateral relations in the period following the collapse of the Soviet Union. Germany was successful in utilizing its past experience to build and strong democracy. Their past was a legible, stable platform on which to develop. On the other hand, Russia failed to learn meaningful lessons from its own muddled, illegible past. When the two entered into relations as their current selves after the collapse of the Soviet Union, their experiences were reversed. Germany made poor use of its own experience, bringing Ostpolitik to the present, while Russia, in contrast, made nimble and pragmatic use of Germany’s desire for closeness, leveraging economic gain while keeping political interference at bay. In the long term, Russia will likely suffer from its choice to sever ties with Germany and the Western world, but in the short term, it may be buoyed by its illiberal axis with China. In the short term, Germany has been embarrassed and damaged by its deep ties with Russia that it has rapidly lost, and so we look to the past for some explanation of how this came to pass.
