description: We develop a theory for optical Faraday rotation noise in two-dimensional Dirac materials. In contrast to spin noise in conventional semiconductors, we find that the Faraday rotation fluctuations are influenced not only by spins but also the valley degrees of freedom attributed to intervalley scattering processes. We illustrate our theory with two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides and discuss signatures of spin and valley noise in the Faraday noise power spectrum. We propose optical Faraday noise spectroscopy as a technique for probing both spin and valley relaxation dynamics in two-dimensional Dirac materials.

description: Ultralight axion-like particles can contribute to the dark matter near the Sun, leading to a distinct, stochastic signature in terrestrial experiments. We search for such particles through their neutron-spin coupling by re-analyzing approximately 40 days of data from a K-$^3$He co-magnetometer with a new frequency-domain likelihood-based formalism that properly accounts for stochastic effects over all axion coherence times relative to the experimental time span. Assuming that axions make up all of the dark matter in the Sun's vicinity, we find a median 95% upper limit on the neutron-spin coupling of $2.4 \times 10^{-10}$ GeV$^{-1}$ for axion masses from 0.4 to 4 feV, which is about five orders of magnitude more stringent than previous laboratory bounds in that mass range. Although several peaks in the experiment's magnetic power spectrum suggest the rejection of a white-noise null hypothesis, further analysis of their lineshapes yields no positive evidence for a dark matter axion.

Asymptotic Theory Under Network Stationarity

description: This paper develops an asymptotic theory for network data based on the concept of network stationarity, explicitly linking network topology with the dependence between network entities. Each pair of entities is assigned a class based on a bivariate graph statistic. Network stationarity assumes that conditional covariances depend only on the assigned class. The asymptotic theory, developed for a growing network, includes laws of large numbers, consistent autocovariance function estimation, and a central limit theorem. A significant portion of the assumptions concerns random graph regularity conditions, particularly those related to class sizes. Weak dependence assumptions use conditional α-mixing adapted to networks. The proposed framework is illustrated through an application tαααo microfinance data from Indian villages.

These effective theories agree with those previously derived via different techniques. As an application of our methods, we re-derive the Wess-Zumino term relevant for anomalous charge-carrying fluids in (1+1) dimensions.

Conditional Distribution Model Specification Testing Using Chi-Square Goodness-of-Fit Tests

description: This paper introduces chi-square goodness-of-fit tests to check for conditional distribution model specification. The data is cross-classified according to the Rosenblatt transform of the dependent variable and the explanatory variables, resulting in a contingency table with expected joint frequencies equal to the product of the row and column marginals, which are independent of the model parameters. The test statistics assess whether the difference between observed and expected frequencies is due to chance. We propose three types of test statistics: the classical trinity of tests based on the likelihood of grouped data, and two statistics based on the efficient raw data estimator—namely, a Chernoff-Lehmann and a generalized Wald statistic. The asymptotic distribution of these statistics is invariant to sample-dependent partitions. Monte Carlo experiments demonstrate the good performance of the proposed tests.

description: This paper discusses the applicability of the traditional classification of welfare systems described in Three Worlds of Welfare Capitalism by Esping-Andersen (1990) when applied to the health sector in Europe. To this purpose, we use a cluster analysis on 26 European countries from 2001 to 2021, to identify, if any, distinct health models. Our main findings suggest that, in Europe, the original typology of Esping-Andersen is hardly confirmed, and sometimes dismissed; second, in certain cases, only an Eastern European model emerges; third, a neat separation between the Nordic and the Continental model disappears, giving some evidence, in Europe, of a weak form of convergence of health systems driven more by economic constraints than by political and social attitudes.

description: A system of two dimensional photon gas has recently been realized experimentally. It is pointed out that this setup can be used to observe a universal breathing mode of photon gas. It is shown that a modification in the experimental setup would open up a possibility of observing the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless (BKT) phase transition in such a system. It is shown that the universal jump in the superfluid density of light in the output channel can be used as an unambiguous signature for the experimental verification of the BKT transition.

description: We conduct computer-assisted analysis of the two-dimensional model of a neuron introduced by Chialvo in 1995 (Chaos, Solitons & Fractals 5, 461-479). We apply the method for rigorous analysis of global dynamics based on a set-oriented topological approach, introduced by Arai et al. in 2009 (SIAM J. Appl. Dyn. Syst. 8, 757-789) and improved and expanded afterwards. Additionally, we introduce a new algorithm to analyze the return times inside a chain recurrent set. Based on this analysis, together with the information on the size of the chain recurrent set, we develop a new method that allows one to determine subsets of parameters for which chaotic dynamics may appear. This approach can be applied to a variety of dynamical systems, and we discuss some of its practical aspects.

description: This paper introduces an algorithm for the detection of change-points and the identification of the corresponding subsequences in transient multivariate time-series data (MTSD). The analysis of such data has become more and more important due to the increase of availability in many industrial fields. Labeling, sorting or filtering highly transient measurement data for training condition based maintenance (CbM) models is cumbersome and error-prone. For some applications it can be sufficient to filter measurements by simple thresholds or finding change-points based on changes in mean value and variation. But a robust diagnosis of a component within a component group for example, which has a complex non-linear correlation between multiple sensor values, a simple approach would not be feasible. No meaningful and coherent measurement data which could be used for training a CbM model would emerge. Therefore, we introduce an algorithm which uses a recurrent neural network (RNN) based Autoencoder (AE) which is iteratively trained on incoming data. The scoring function uses the reconstruction error and latent space information. A model of the identified subsequence is saved and used for recognition of repeating subsequences as well as fast offline clustering. For evaluation, we propose a new similarity measure based on the curvature for a more intuitive time-series subsequence clustering metric. A comparison with seven other state-of-the-art algorithms and eight datasets shows the capability and the increased performance of our algorithm to cluster MTSD online and offline in conjunction with mechatronic systems.

Constraining Primordial Magnetic Fields by CMB Photon-Graviton Conversion
Creators: name: Chen, Pisin
name: Suyama, Teruaki
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2013
Subjects: subject: Cosmology and Nongalactic Astrophysics (astro-ph.CO)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We revisit the method of using the photon-graviton conversion mechanism in the presence of the external magnetic field to probe small-scale primordial magnetic fields that may exist between the last scattering surface and present. Specifically, we investigate impacts on the conversion efficiency due to the presence of matter, including the plasma collective effect and the atomic polarizability. In general, these effects tend to reduce the conversion probability. Under this more realistic picture and based on the precision of COBE's measurement of CMB (cosmic microwave background) blackbody spectrum, we find an upper bound for the primordial magnetic field strength, B < 30G, at the time of recombination. Although at present the bound based on the photon-graviton conversion mechanism is not as tight as that obtained by the direct use of CMB temperature anisotropy, it nevertheless provides an important independent constraint on primordial magnetic fields and at epochs in addition to the recombination. The bound can be significantly improved if the CMB blackbody spectrum measurement becomes more precise in future experiments such as PIXIE.

description: Cell complexes are topological spaces constructed from simple blocks called cells. They generalize graphs, simplicial complexes, and polyhedral complexes that form important domains for practical applications. They also provide a combinatorial formalism that allows the inclusion of complicated relationships of restrictive structures such as graphs and meshes. In this paper, we propose cell complexes neural networks (CXNs) a general, combinatorial, and unifying construction for performing neural network-type computations on cell complexes. We introduce an inter-cellular message passing scheme on cell complexes that takes the topology of the underlying space into account and generalizes message passing scheme to graphs. Finally, we introduce a unified cell complex encoder-decoder framework that enables learning representation of cells for a given complex inside the Euclidean spaces. In particular, we show how our cell complex autoencoder construction can give in the special case cell2vec, a generalization for node2vec.

description: The proposed Patapsco Greenway Exchange would serve to connect the Patapsco Valley State Park, the BWI Transportation Zone, and the Baltimore Metropolitan. It is designed to do so for users of all ages and abilities while increasing overall access to DNR property along the way. This path would serve as a catalyst for economic development by opening up access to natural sport and leisure opportunities as well as providing educational programming to the region. This book details the paths masterplan as designed by a team of graduate students of landscape architecture at the University of Maryland. Many alternative routes were examined and considered. Final decisions were chosen in order to maximize the use of existing infrastructure, providing accommodating access to pedestrians and bicyclists alike while avoiding unnecessary costs. Such usage includes the following: (1) The path crosses over both Stony Run Creek and the Amtrak railway via Stoney Run Rd over a wide shoulder on the right side of the road. (2) Route 295 is crossed via a shoulder on Ridge Rd. (3) A tight underpass on Furnace Ave. which runs below the Amtrak railway is used for safe crossing. The project team has proposed that the road immediately surrounding the tunnel be converted into a two way, traffic light controlled, one lane pass. The other lane would become a shared use path for pedestrians and bicyclists. There are few areas where new infrastructure is suggested (aside from the typical asphalt paths that would be required for off-road pedestrian and bicyclist use), mainly an apx. 450-500 feet of boardwalk along the Halethorpe zone, as well as a small track between Elkridge and Furnace Ave and a small proposed connection to the boardwalk near the MDOT headquarters off of Corporate Center Dr. The scope of this project would require consideration from several stakeholders which include the Anne Arundel County Department of Planning and Zoning, the Anne Arundel County Department of Parks and Recreation, the Howard County Department of Planning and Zoning, the Howard County Department of Parks and Recreation, the Baltimore Metropolitan Council, the Maryland Department of Natural Resources, and the Maryland Department of Transportation.

description: The beta-ensemble with cubic potential can be used to study a quantum particle in a double-well potential with symmetry breaking term. The quantum mechanical perturbative energy arises from the ensemble free energy in a novel large N limit. A relation between the generating functions of the exact non-perturbative energy, similar in spirit to the one of Dunne-Unsal, is found. The exact quantization condition of Zinn-Justin and Jentschura is equivalent to the Nekrasov-Shatashvili quantization condition on the level of the ensemble. Refined topological string theory in the Nekrasov-Shatashvili limit arises as a large N limit of quantum mechanics.

description: Our team devised a three-stage system to implement a food distribution network to serve Anne Arundel County clients including private retailers, public institutions such as schools and hospitals, and eventually privately-owned restaurants. The goal is to maximize the supply of locally sourced produce for customers as the demand for local food continues to rise. This program would create a more economically efficient food distributor that would also generate GroupGAP funding through price premiums only from out-of-county participants. GroupGAP is a USDA farm food safety program that provides the entire specialty crops industry the opportunity to supply and buy fruits, vegetables, and related products that are certified as being produced using Good Agricultural Practices (GAP). Stage 1 will serve as the pilot program, to satisfy the needs of one small buyer. If successful, this will serve as proof of concept, and will be a model for how to grow and improve to take on more customers. An ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) system will be developed during this phase as the foundation of the infrastructure for the business model. The operation’s logistical needs will be met using a jobbers driving service. During Stage 2, the pilot’s success will be highlighted to attract new clients, particularly farms both inside and outside Anne Arundel County. In this phase, the ERP’s development would reach functional completion, allowing most optimization economics to be automated. Through licensing and LLC partnership funding, the program will use the capital generated to develop infrastructure, increase marketing initiatives, and further GroupGAP subsidization. The marketing plan will expand at this stage to entice new buyers by demonstrating the proof-of-concept price transparency and supply parity pilot run. After sufficient growth, in Stage 3 we estimate the program will be developed enough to meet the demand schedules of much larger institutions such as the County’s public schools and hospitals’ patient and non-patient demands. By this time, the optimization between local supply and demand would be fully automated in the ERP. Full-time supply chain specialists will work with farmers to determine yield expectations and quality control through the GroupGAP program.

description: Fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC) shows promise as an electrolyte additive for improving passivating solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI) films on silicon anodes used in lithium ion batteries (LIB). We apply density functional theory (DFT), ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD), and quantum chemistry techniques to examine excess-electron-induced FEC molecular decomposition mechanisms that lead to FEC-modified SEI. We consider one- and two-electron reactions using cluster models and explicit interfaces between liquid electrolyte and model Li(x)Si(y) surfaces, respectively. FEC is found to exhibit more varied reaction pathways than unsubstituted ethylene carbonate. The initial bond-breaking events and products of one- and two-electron reactions are qualitatively similar, with a fluoride ion detached in both cases. However, most one-electron products are charge-neutral, not anionic, and may not coalesce to form effective Li+-conducting SEI unless they are further reduced or take part in other reactions. The implications of these reactions to silicon-anode based LIB are discussed.

description: This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to assess the effectiveness of internet-delivered cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (ICBT-I) in the short and long term. We searched five electronic databases for studies published from June 2000 to May 2022. Our analysis included 27 studies with 8,728 participants, of which 4394 were in the experimental group and 4334 were in the control group. ICBT-I significantly improved the sleep scores of the experimental group by reducing the intensity of insomnia (ISI) (−4.32) in the post-intervention (I2 = 94%) (95% CI −6.15 to −2.48, p < 0.0001, g = 0.760) and follow-up phases (−2.92) (I2 = 95%) (95% CI −4.87 to −0.97, p < 0.0003, g = 0.622). This therapy also effectively improves short-term and long-term insomnia symptoms, including sleep onset latency, wake after sleep onset, night awakenings, sleep efficiency, and total sleep time. That holds the potential for extensive utilization across diverse populations suffering from insomnia, surpassing the limitations associated with conventional in-person therapeutic methods.

description: Ortho-positronium (o-Ps) formation and decay can replace the annihilation process, when positron interacts in liquid scintillator media. The delay induced by the positronium decay represents either a potential signature for anti-neutrino detection, via inverse beta decay, or to identify and suppress positron background, as recently demonstrated by the Borexino experiment. The formation probability and decay time of o-Ps depend strongly on the surrounding material. In this paper, we characterize the o-Ps properties in liquid scintillators as function of concentrations of gadolinium, lithium, neodymium, and tellurium, dopers used by present and future neutrino experiments. In particular, gadolinium and lithium are high neutron cross section isotopes, widely used in reactor anti-neutrino experiments, while neodymium and tellurium are double beta decay emitters, employed to investigates the Majorana neutrino nature. Future neutrino experiments may profit from the performed measurements to tune the preparation of the scintillator in order to maximize the o-Ps signature, and therefore the discrimination power.

description: Some fish in tropical and subtropical waters exhibit moon-related rhythmicity in their reproduction and migration. We investigated the involvement of the subtypes of cryptochrome (mgCry) in moon-related rhythmicity of the Malabar grouper Epinephelus malabaricus, which spawns around the new moon period. Under natural photoperiodic conditions, the levels of mgCry1 and mgCry2 showed daily variation with peaks at 11:00 and 19:00, respectively, in the diencephalon (including the pituitary), regardless of the moon phase. The weekly changes in mgCry2, but not mgCry1, were moon-dependent, with higher levels around the new moon. When fish were reared under natural moonlight, mgCry2 in the pituitary was higher at 15:00 and 11:00 during the new moon period than the full moon period. Rearing fish under moonlight-exposed or moonlight-blocked conditions resulted in increases in mgCry genes in the pituitary during the night at full moon, suggesting that the pituitary is a target organ of the moonlight-dependent clock system. These findings indicate that mgCry genes in the brain of the Malabar grouper exhibits moon dependency, with changes according to the duration of darkness at night. We conclude that weekly changes in Cry genes in the brain play a role in entraining moon-dependent events in the Malabar grouper.

description: In the context of scalar-tensor theories we study the evolution of the density contrast for Jordan-Fierz-Brans-Dicke theories in a Friedmann-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker Universe. Calculations are performed in the Einstein Frame with the cosmological background described as Lambda-Cold Dark Matter (Lambda-CDM) and supplemented by a Jordan-Fierz-Brans-Dicke field. By using a completely general procedure valid for all scalar-tensor theories, we obtain the exact fourth-order differential equation for the density contrast evolution in modes of arbitrary size. In the case of sub-Hubble modes, the expression reduces to a simpler but still fourth-order equation that is then compared with the standard (quasistatic) approximation. Differences with respect to the evolution as predicted by the standard Concordance Lambda-CDM model are observed depending on the value of the coupling.

description: Planetary, stellar and galactic physics often rely on the general restricted gravitational N-body problem to model the motion of a small-mass object under the influence of much more massive objects. Here, I formulate the general restricted problem entirely and specifically in terms of the commonly-used orbital elements of semimajor axis, eccentricity, inclination, longitude of ascending node, argument of pericentre, and true anomaly, without any assumptions about their magnitudes. I derive the equations of motion in the general, unaveraged case, as well as specific cases, with respect to both a bodycentric and barycentric origin. I then reduce the equations to three-body systems, and present compact singly- and doubly-averaged expressions which can be readily applied to systems of interest. This method recovers classic Lidov-Kozai and Laplace-Lagrange theory in the test particle limit to any order, but with fewer assumptions, and reveals a complete analytic solution for the averaged planetary pericentre precession in coplanar circular circumbinary systems to at least the first three nonzero orders in semimajor axis ratio. Finally, I show how the unaveraged equations may be used to express resonant angle evolution in an explicit manner that is not subject to expansions of eccentricity and inclination about small nor any other values.

description: A method is defined for identifying late T and Y dwarfs in WISE down to low values of signal-to-noise. This requires a WISE detection only in the W2-band and uses the statistical properties of the WISE multi-frame measurements and profile fit photometry to reject contamination resulting from non-point-like objects, variables and moving sources. To trace our desired parameter space we use a control sample of isolated non-moving non-variable point sources from the SDSS, and identify a sample of 158 WISE W2-only candidates down to a signal-to-noise limit of 8. For signal-to-noise ranges >10 and 8-10 respectively, ~45% and ~90% of our sample fall outside the selection criteria published by the WISE team (Kirkpatrick et al. 2012), due mainly to the type of constraints placed on the number of individual W2 detections. We present follow-up of eight candidates and identify WISE 0013+0634 and WISE 0833+0052, T8 and T9 dwarfs with high proper motion (~1.3 and ~1.8 arcsec/yr). Both objects show a mid-infrared/near-infrared excess of ~1-1.5 magnitudes, and are K-band suppressed. Distance estimates lead to space motion constraints that suggest halo (or at least thick disk) kinematics. We then assess the reduced proper motion diagram of WISE ultracool dwarfs, which suggests that late T and Y dwarfs may have a higher thick-disk/halo population fraction than earlier objects.

The kinematics and orbital dynamics of the PSR B1259$-$63/LS 2883 system from 23 years of pulsar timing

description: We present an analysis of $23~$yr of pulse arrival times for PSR B1259$-$63. The pulsar is in a binary orbit about its approximately $20~M_{\odot}$ companion LS$~$2883. Our best-fitting timing solution has none of the pulse-number ambiguities that have plagued previous attempts to model the binary orbit. We measure significant first and second time derivatives of the projected semimajor axis and longitude of the periastron of the orbit. These variations are found to be consistent with the precession of the orbital plane due to classical spin-orbit coupling. The derived moment of inertia and spin of the companion are consistent with the companion rotating at near-breakup velocity. The system configuration is also consistent with the geometry derived from both the polarisation of the radio emission and the eclipse of the pulsar by the equatorial disc of the companion. We find strong evidence for orbital period decay that can be attributed to mass loss from the companion star. We also measure a significant proper motion that locates the birth of the system in the Centaurus OB1 association. By combining proper motion of the pulsar with radial velocity measurements of the companion, we measure the three-dimensional velocity of the system. This velocity is used to constrain the masses of the stars prior to the supernova explosion and the kick the pulsar received at or immediately after the explosion.

subject: Microelectronics

description: This thesis explores the thermodynamics and mechanics of reaction-diffusion interfaces in solid materials, focusing on configurational forces for bulks and surfaces, which are essential in understanding phenomena like electromigration, phase separation, and void evolution. The work is divided into four themes: bulk and surface configurational mechanics, electromigration in solder joints, and solid mixture theory. The thesis develops theories based on continuum mechanics and configurational forces, deriving Eshelby stress tensors and balance laws for interfaces. Experimental work on electromigration in SnBi solder joints is used to validate the theory. The research contributes to advancing the understanding of solid-state diffusion and phase evolution in engineering materials.

description: We propose a notion of a pluri-Lagrangian problem, which should be understood as an analog of multi-dimensional consistency for variational systems. This is a development along the line of research of discrete integrable Lagrangian systems initiated in 2009 by Lobb and Nijhoff, however having its more remote roots in the theory of pluriharmonic functions, in the Z-invariant models of statistical mechanics and their quasiclassical limit, as well as in the theory of variational symmetries going back to Noether. A d-dimensional pluri-Lagrangian problem can be described as follows: given a d-form L on an m-dimensional space (called multi-time, m>d), whose coefficients depend on a sought-after function x of m independent variables (called field), find those fields x which deliver critical points to the action functionals $S_Σ=\int_Σ L$ for any d-dimensional manifold $Σ$ in the multi-time. We derive the main building blocks of the multi-time Euler-Lagrange equations for a discrete pluri-Lagrangian problem with d=2, the so called corner equations, and discuss the notion of consistency of the system of corner equations. We analyze the system of corner equations for a special class of three-point 2-forms, corresponding to integrable quad-equations of the ABS list. This allows us to close a conceptual gap of the work by Lobb and Nijhoff by showing that the corresponding 2-forms are closed not only on solutions of (non-variational) quad-equations, but also on general solutions of the corresponding corner equations. We also find an example of a pluri-Lagrangian system not coming from a multidimensionally consistent system of quad-equations.

Electrical conductivity and nuclear magnetic resonance relaxation rate of Eliashberg superconductors in the weak-coupling limit

description: Electrical conductivity is an important transport response in superconductors, enabling clear signatures of dynamical interactions to be observed. Of primary interest in this paper is to study characteristics of the electron-phonon interaction in weak-coupling Eliashberg theory (Eth), and to note the distinctions with Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) theory. Recent analysis of weak-coupling Eth has shown that while there are modifications from the BCS results, certain dimensionless ratios are in agreement. Here we show that the conductivities in BCS theory and Eth fundamentally differ, with the latter having an imaginary gap component that damps a divergence. We focus on the dirty limit, and for both BCS theory and Eth we derive expressions for the low-frequency limit of the real conductivity. For Eth specifically, there are two limits to consider, depending on the relative size of the frequency and the imaginary part of the gap. In the case of identically zero frequency, we derive an analytical expression for the nuclear magnetic resonance relaxation rate. Our analysis of the conductivity complements the previous study of the Meissner response and provides a thorough understanding of weak-coupling Eth.

description: The magnetic phase diagram of La2-xSrxCuO4 thin-films grown on single-crystal LaSrAlO4 substrates has been determined by low-energy muon-spin rotation. The diagram shows the same features as the one of bulk La2-xSrxCuO4, but the transition temperatures between distinct magnetic states are significantly different. In the antiferromagnetic phase the Neel temperature TN is strongly reduced, and no hole spin freezing is observed at low temperatures. In the disordered magnetic phase (x>0.02) the transition temperature to the cluster spin-glass state Tg is enhanced. Possible reasons for the pronounced differences between the magnetic phase diagrams of thin-film and bulk samples are discussed.
