description: We study the superradiant scattering of gravitational waves by a nearly extremal black hole (dimensionless spin $a=0.99$) by numerically solving the full Einstein field equations, thus including backreaction effects. This allows us to study the dynamics of the black hole as it loses energy and angular momentum during the scattering process. To explore the nonlinear phase of the interaction, we consider gravitational wave packets with initial energies up to $10%$ of the mass of the black hole. We find that as the incident wave energy increases, the amplification of the scattered waves, as well as the energy extraction efficiency from the black hole, is reduced. During the interaction the apparent horizon geometry undergoes sizable nonaxisymmetric oscillations. The largest amplitude excitations occur when the peak frequency of the incident wave packet is above where superradiance occurs, but close to the dominant quasinormal mode frequency of the black hole.

Greenhouse Effect, Sea Level Rise, and Salinity in the Delaware Estuary
Creators: name: No Name Supplied
Publisher: name: U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) : The Delaware River Basin Commission (DRBC)
Year: 1986

description: This report provides general explanations of the effects of sea level rise on surface and groundwater in the Delaware estuary. Increasing atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide and other gases are expected to warm the earth a few degrees (C) in the next century by a mechanism commonly known as the "greenhouse effect." Such a warming could alter precipitation patterns and raise sea level. One potential impact of a global warming and rise in sea level would be an increase in the salinity of estuaries, which might threaten drinking water and aquatic ecosystems. This joint report examines the implications of the greenhouse warming for salinity control in the Delaware estuary. The study focuses on the implications of a 21-inch rise in global sea level expected by 2050 and a 7-foot global rise by 2100. The authors estimate the increase in estuary salinity, estimate the possible increase in salinity of the Potomac-Raritan-Magothy aquifer system, discuss the implications, and examine possible responses. Potential changes in precipitation are not evaluated. A quantitative assessment focuses on Philadelphia's intake on the Delaware River and aquifers in suburban New Jersey. A final section discusses implications for New York City's water supply and the once-proposed Tocks Island Dam, as well as various anticipatory planning options.

description: Spontaneous optical emission of graphene irradiated by intense single-cycle terahertz pulses was investigated experimentally and explained theoretically. We found that emitted photons are polarized predominantly perpendicular to the electric field of the terahertz pulse, which proves that the terahertz field not only heats the electrons, but also creates a strongly nonequilibrium momentum distribution. Comparison of the measured optical spectrum and polarization anisotropy with the results of numerical modeling allowed us to estimate a momentum isotropization time for electrons in graphene to be ~25 fs and roughly reconstruct the distribution function evolution in k-space.
A South Jersey Homeowner's Guide to Radioactivity in Drinking Water: Radium
Creators: name: No Name Supplied
Publisher: name: New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) Radiation Protection and Release Prevention
Year: 2004

description: Radioactive substances in ground water, such as radium, uranium and thorium, occur naturally. Radium, in particular, dissolves more readily into ground water in contact with sands or soils. The acidity of the water, which may be increased by the presence of elevated levels of nitrates associated with agricultural land use, is believed to increase the amount of radium that dissolves into ground water from contact with sands and soils. Sampling of public and private wells that draw water from southern New Jersey's Cohansey aquifer has shown elevated levels of naturally occurring radioactivity. Homeowners should be aware of the steps they might wish to take to test their private drinking water wells for radioactivity and to reduce their exposure.

description: The primary objective of the Hudson River PCBs Superfund Site remedy is to protect public health and the environment from unacceptable risks due to PCB-contaminated sediments in the Upper Hudson River. The purpose of facility siting is to identify locations (within the defined boundaries of the study area) that meet the objectives of a sediment-processing/transfer facility. The study area for facility siting is approximately one-half mile inland from the edge of each side of the river and extends from the Hudson Falls Dam to the Port of Albany. Some locations further inland could be identified during the facility-siting process.
Perturbative Approach to Flat Chern Bands in the Hofstadter Model

description: We present a perturbative approach to the study of the Hofstadter model for when the amount of flux per plaquette is close to a rational fraction. Within this approximation certain eigenstates of the system are shown to be multi-component wavefunctions that connect smoothly to the Landau levels of the continuum. The perturbative corrections to these are higher Landau level contributions that break rotational invariance and allow the perturbed states to adopt the symmetry of the lattice. In the presence of interactions, this approach allows for the calculation of generalised Haldane pseudopotentials, and in turn, the many-body properties of the system. The method is sufficiently general that it can apply to a wide variety of lattices, interactions and magnetic field strengths.

description: We present a multi-chroic kinetic inductance detector (KID) pixel design integrated with a broadband hierarchical phased-array antenna. Each low-frequency pixel consists of four high-frequency pixels. Four passbands are designed from 125 to 365 GHz according to the atmospheric windows. The lumped element KIDs consist of 100-nm thick AlMn inductors and Nb parallel plate capacitors with hydrogenated amorphous Si dielectric. Two different coupling structures are designed to couple millimeter-wave from microstrip lines to KIDs. The KID designs are optimized for a 10-m-class telescope at a high, dry site, for example, the Leighton Chajnantor Telescope. Preliminary measurement results using Al KIDs are discussed.

description: We investigate further the relationship between the entanglement spectrum of a composite many-body system and the energy spectrum of a subsystem making use of concepts of canonical thermodynamics. In many important cases the entanglement Hamiltonian is, in the limit of strong coupling between subsystems, proportional to the energy Hamiltonian of the subsystem. The proportionality factor is an appropriately defined coupling parameter, suggesting to interpret the latter as a inverse temperature. We identify a condition on the entanglement Hamiltonian which rigorously guarantees this interpretation to hold and removes any ambiguity in the definition of the entanglement Hamiltonian regarding contributions proportional to the unit operator. Illustrations of our findings are provided by spin ladders of arbitrary spin length, and by bilayer quantum Hall systems at total filling factor nu=2. Within mean-field description, the latter system realizes an entanglement spectrum of free fermions with just two levels of equal modulus where the analogies to canonical thermodynamics are particularly close.

description: Two new neutral fac-[Re(CO)(3)(phen) L] compounds (1,2), with phen = 1,10-phenanthroline and L = O2C(CH2)(5)CH3 or O2C(CH2)(4)C CH, were synthetized in one-pot procedures from fac-[Re(CO)(3)(phen)Cl] and the corresponding carboxylic acids, and were fully characterized by IR and UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy, H-1-and C-13-NMR, mass spectrometry and X-ray crystallography. The compounds, which display orange luminescence, were used as probes for living cancer HeLa cell staining. Confocal microscopy revealed accumulation of both dyes in mitochondria. To investigate the mechanism of mitochondrial staining, a new non-emissive compound, fac-[Re(CO)(3)(phen)L], with L = O2C(CH2)(3)((C5H5)Fe(C5H4), i.e., containing a ferrocenyl moiety, was synthetized and characterized (3). 3 shows the same mitochondrial accumulation pattern as 1 and 2. Emission of 3 can only be possible when ferrocene-containing ligand dissociates from the metal center to produce a species containing the luminescent fac[Re(CO)(3)(phen)](+) core. The release of ligands from the Re center was verified in vitro through the conjugation with model proteins. These findings suggest that the mitochondria accumulation of compounds 1-3 is due to the formation of luminescent fac-[Re(CO)(3)(phen)](+) products, which react with cellular matrix molecules giving secondary products and are uptaken into the negatively charged mitochondrial membranes. Thus, reported compounds feature a rare dissociation-driven mechanism of action with great potential for biological applications.

description: We try to explain the subpulse drift phenomena adopting the space-charge limited flow (SCLF) model and comparing the plasma drift velocity in the inner region of pulsar magnetospheres with the observed velocity of drifting subpulses. We apply the approach described in a recent paper of van Leeuwen & Timokhin (2012), where it was shown that the standard estimation of the subpulse drift velocity through the total value of the scalar potential drop in the inner gap gives inaccurate results, while the exact expression relating the drift velocity to the gradient of the scalar potential should be used instead. After considering a selected sample of sources taken from the catalog of Weltevrede, Edwards & Stappers (2006) with coherently drifting subpulses and reasonably known observing geometry, we show that their subpulse drift velocities would correspond to the drift of the plasma located very close or above the pair formation front. Moreover, a detailed analysis of PSR B0826-34 and PSR B0818-41 reveals that the variation of the subpulse separation with the pulse longitude can be successfully explained by the dependence of the plasma drift velocity on the angular coordinates.

description: In ferromagnet/normal-metal bilayers, the sensitivity of the spin Hall magnetoresistance and the spin Nernst magnetothermopower to the boundary conditions at the interface is of central importance. In general, such boundary conditions can be substantially affected by current-induced spin polarizations. In order to quantify the role of the latter, we consider a Rashba two-dimensional electron gas with a ferromagnet attached to one side of the system. The geometry of such a system maximizes the effect of current-induced spin polarization on the boundary conditions, and the spin Hall magnetoresistance is shown to acquire a non-trivial and asymmetric dependence on the magnetization direction of the ferromagnet.

description: We consider the well-posedness of the initial value problem for Einstein-Maxwell theory modified by higher derivative effective field theory corrections. Field redefinitions can be used to bring the leading parity-symmetric 4-derivative corrections to a form which gives second order equations of motion. We show that a recently introduced "modified harmonic" gauge condition can be used to obtain a formulation of these theories which admits a well-posed initial value problem when the higher derivative corrections to the equations of motion are small.
Water Quality Standards for the Great Swamp Watershed

Publisher: name: F. X. Browne, Inc. and Ten Towns Great Swamp Watershed Management Committee
Year: 2002

description: According to the Environmental Protection Agency, "nutrient enrichment frequently ranks as one of the top causes of water resource impairment." Nutrients are essential for plant growth, but overenrichment can lead to the excess growth of algae and aquatic plants, can alter the composition and species diversity of the aquatic community, and can even lead to human health problems. However, despite the extent of the nutrient enrichment problem across the country, most states have little more than vague language that recommends that they maintain natural nutrient levels and avoid nutrient enrichment. In response to this lack of recommended criteria for nutrients and suspended solids, one of the objectives of the Ten Towns Great Swamp Watershed Management Committee's Water Quality Monitoring Program has been to develop nutrient and total suspended solids standards for the streams in the Great Swamp Watershed. The development of these standards will assist in the planning process, guide restoration activities, and serve as a benchmark for the success of watershed management activities.

description: Being spontaneous, micro-expressions are useful in the inference of a person's true emotions even if an attempt is made to conceal them. Due to their short duration and low intensity, the recognition of micro-expressions is a difficult task in affective computing. The early work based on handcrafted spatio-temporal features which showed some promise, has recently been superseded by different deep learning approaches which now compete for the state of the art performance. Nevertheless, the problem of capturing both local and global spatio-temporal patterns remains challenging. To this end, herein we propose a novel spatio-temporal transformer architecture -- to the best of our knowledge, the first purely transformer based approach (i.e. void of any convolutional network use) for micro-expression recognition. The architecture comprises a spatial encoder which learns spatial patterns, a temporal aggregator for temporal dimension analysis, and a classification head. A comprehensive evaluation on three widely used spontaneous micro-expression data sets, namely SMIC-HS, CASME II and SAMM, shows that the proposed approach consistently outperforms the state of the art, and is the first framework in the published literature on micro-expression recognition to achieve the unweighted F1-score greater than 0.9 on any of the aforementioned data sets.

description: We investigate the interplay of band structure topology and localization properties of Wannier functions. To this end, we extend a recently proposed compressed sensing based paradigm for the search for maximally localized Wannier functions [Ozolins et al., PNAS 110, 18368 (2013)]. We develop a practical toolbox that enables the search for maximally localized Wannier functions which exactly obey the underlying physical symmetries of a translationally invariant quantum lattice system under investigation. Most saliently, this allows us to systematically identify the most localized representative of a topological equivalence class of band structures, i.e., the most localized set of Wannier functions that is adiabatically connected to a generic initial representative. We also elaborate on the compressed sensing scheme and find a particularly simple and efficient implementation in which each step of the iteration is an $O(N \log N)$ algorithm in the number of lattice sites $N$. We present benchmark results on one-dimensional topological superconductors demonstrating the power of these tools. Furthermore, we employ our method to address the open question whether compact Wannier functions can exist for symmetry protected topological states like topological insulators in two dimensions. The existence of such functions would imply exact flat band models with strictly finite range hopping. Here, we find numerical evidence for the absence of such functions. We briefly discuss applications in dissipative state preparation and in devising variational sets of states for tensor network methods.

description: A simulation of population, income, employment, and capital in the nonmetropolitan and metropolitan sectors suggests that 1960-70 trends were leading to equal per capita incomes between the two sectors by the year 2000, and to abatement of the rapid nonmetropolitan outmigration. Changes during 1970-73 indicate that economic opportunities in the nonmetropolitan sector advanced in response to increased propensity to join the labor force, increased capacity to create jobs, and improved resource productivity. However, these changes explained only part of the apparent reversal in net migration. The balance remains to be explained outside the model. Simulation of seven types of strategies which might be pursued by the Federal Government to attain 1990 income targets indicated that each strategy had some potential for raising nonmetropolitan income; but each used in isolation displayed undesirable side effects on migration, dependency, unemployment, wages, or the level of general business activity. A multifaceted problem required a mixed strategy. Programs were most important in the mixed strategy which promoted joining the labor force, creating jobs, and increasing resource productivity. Programs to enhance capital accumulation above trend and expand markets had small multipliers. Programs to directly influence migration or natural increase were not required.

description: Quantum simulation of the XXZ model with a two-component Bose or Fermi Hubbard model based on a Mott insulator background has been widely used in the investigations of quantum magnetism with ultracold neutral atoms. In most cases, the diagonal spin-spin interaction is always accompanied by a large spin-exchange interaction which hinders the formation of long-range magnetic order at low temperature. Here we show that the spin-exchange interaction can be strongly reduced in a Mott insulator of paired atoms, while the diagonal spin-spin interaction remains unaffected. Thus, the effective magnetic model is quite close to an exact classical Ising model in the textbook. And we analysed an experimentally achievable three-component Fermi-Hubbard model of $\mathrm{{}^{6}Li}$ with two hyperfine levels of atoms paired in the lattice. We find the long-range antiferromagnetic order of such a three-component Fermi-Hubbard model can be much stronger than that of a typical two-component Fermi-Hubbard model at low temperature. And we discussed the possiblity of simulating an exact two-dimensional ferromagnetic Ising model in a Mott insulator of paired bosonic atoms. Our results may be useful for experimental investigation of the long-range Ising-like magnetism with ultracold neutral atoms under thermal equilibrium.

description: Recently, deep learning has attracted more and more attention in phase unwrapping of fringe projection three-dimensional (3D) measurement, with the aim to improve the performance leveraging the powerful Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) models. In this paper, for the first time (to the best of our knowledge), we introduce the Transformer into the phase unwrapping which is different from CNN and propose Hformer model dedicated to phase unwrapping via fringe order prediction. The proposed model has a hybrid CNN-Transformer architecture that is mainly composed of backbone, encoder and decoder to take advantage of both CNN and Transformer. Encoder and decoder with cross attention are designed for the fringe order prediction. Experimental results show that the proposed Hformer model achieves better performance in fringe order prediction compared with the CNN models such as U-Net and DCNN. Moreover, ablation study on Hformer is made to verify the improved feature pyramid networks (FPN) and testing strategy with flipping in the predicted fringe order. Our work opens an alternative way to deep learning based phase unwrapping methods, which are dominated by CNN in fringe projection 3D measurement.

description: We probe the onset and effect of contact changes in soft harmonic particle packings which are sheared quasistatically. We find that the first contact changes are the creation or breaking of contacts on a single particle. We characterize the critical strain, statistics of breaking versus making a contact, and ratio of shear modulus before and after such events, and explain their finite size scaling relations. For large systems at finite pressure, the critical strain vanishes but the ratio of shear modulus before and after a contact change approaches one: linear response remains relevant in large systems. For finite systems close to jamming the critical strain also vanishes, but here linear response already breaks down after a single contact change.

Time evolution of cascade decay

description: We study non-perturbatively the time evolution of cascade decay for generic fields $π\rightarrow ϕ_1ϕ_2\rightarrow ϕ_2χ_1χ_2$ and obtain the time dependence of amplitudes and populations for the resonant and final states. We analyze in detail the different time scales and the manifestation of unitary time evolution in the dynamics of production and decay of resonant intermediate and final states. The probability of occupation (population) "flows" as a function of time from the initial to the final states. When the decay width of the parent particle $Γ_π$ is much larger than that of the intermediate resonant state $Γ_{ϕ_1}$ there is a "bottleneck" in the flow, the population of resonant states builds up to a maximum at $t^* = \ln[Γ_π/Γ_{ϕ_1}]/(Γ_π-Γ_{ϕ_1})$ nearly saturating unitarity and decays to the final state on the longer time scale $1/Γ_{ϕ_1}$. As a consequence of the wide separation of time scales in this case the cascade decay can be interpreted as evolving sequentially $π\rightarrow ϕ_1ϕ_2; ~ ϕ_1ϕ_2\rightarrow ϕ_2χ_1χ_2$. In the opposite limit the population of resonances ($ϕ_1$) does not build up substantially and the cascade decay proceeds almost directly from the initial parent to the final state without resulting in a large amplitude of the resonant state. An alternative but equivalent non-perturbative method useful in cosmology is presented. Possible phenomenological implications for heavy sterile neutrinos as resonant states and consequences of quantum entanglement and correlations in the final state are discussed.

description: Music mood classification has been a challenging problem in comparison with other music classification problems (e.g., genre, composer, or period). One solution for addressing this challenge is to use an ensemble of machine learning models. In this paper, we show that visualization techniques can effectively convey the popular prediction as well as uncertainty at different music sections along the temporal axis while enabling the analysis of individual ML models in conjunction with their application to different musical data. In addition to the traditional visual designs, such as stacked line graph, ThemeRiver, and pixel-based visualization, we introduce a new variant of ThemeRiver, called "dual-flux ThemeRiver", which allows viewers to observe and measure the most popular prediction more easily than stacked line graph and ThemeRiver. Together with pixel-based visualization, dual-flux ThemeRiver plots can also assist in model-development workflows, in addition to annotating music using ensemble model predictions.

Publisher: name: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Philadelphia District
Year: 1984

description: This survey report presents the results of the analysis of flooding along the main stem Delaware River. The analysis was authorized by Congress at the request of the Delaware Ruver Basin Commission (DRBC) in response to the deferment of the Tocks Island Lake Project. This study examined flood damage reduction alternatives for the section of the Delaware River from Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania to Burlington, New Jersey, which would have received flood protection from Tocks Island Lake Project. The investigation does confirm that there is the potential for a major disaster should there be an occurrence of an event equal to the 1955 flood.
Sample-Efficient Sparse Phase Retrieval via Stochastic Alternating Minimization

description: In this work we propose a nonconvex two-stage \underline{s}tochastic \underline{a}lternating \underline{m}inimizing (SAM) method for sparse phase retrieval. The proposed algorithm is guaranteed to have an exact recovery from $O(s\log n)$ samples if provided the initial guess is in a local neighbour of the ground truth. Thus, the proposed algorithm is two-stage, first we estimate a desired initial guess (e.g. via a spectral method), and then we introduce a randomized alternating minimization strategy for local refinement. Also, the hard-thresholding pursuit algorithm is employed to solve the sparse constraint least square subproblems. We give the theoretical justifications that SAM find the underlying signal exactly in a finite number of iterations (no more than $O(\log m)$ steps) with high probability. Further, numerical experiments illustrates that SAM requires less measurements than state-of-the-art algorithms for sparse phase retrieval problem.

description: Significance: Monte Carlo radiation transfer (MCRT) is the gold standard of modeling light transport in turbid media. Typical MCRT models use voxels or meshes to approximate experimental geometry. A voxel based geometry does not allow for the accurate modeling of smooth curved surfaces, such as may be found in biological systems or food and drink packaging. Aim: We present our algorithm which we term signedMCRT (sMCRT), a new geometry-based method which uses signed distance functions (SDF) to represent the geometry of the model. SDFs are capable of modeling smooth curved surfaces accurately whilst also modeling complex geometries. Approach: We show that using SDFs to represent the problem's geometry is more accurate and can be faster than voxel based methods. sMCRT, can easily be incorporated into existing voxel based models. Results: sMCRT is validated against theoretical expressions, and other voxel based MCRT codes. We show that sMCRT can accurately model arbitrary complex geometries such as microvascular vessel network using SDFs. In comparison to the current state-of-the-art in MCRT methods specifically for curved surfaces, sMCRT is up-to forty-five times more accurate. Conclusions: sMCRT is a highly accurate, fast MCRT method that outperforms comparable voxel based models due to its ability to model smooth curved surfaces. sMCRT is up-to three times faster than a voxel model for equivalent scenarios. sMCRT is publicly available at https://github.com/lewisfish/signedMCRT
Cosmological bounces in spatially flat FRW spacetimes in metric f(R) gravity

description: The present work analyzes the various conditions in which there can be a bouncing universe solution in f(R) gravity. In the article an interesting method, to analyze the bouncing FRW solutions in a spatially flat universe using f(R) gravity models using an effective Einstein frame description of the process, is presented. The analysis shows that a cosmological bounce in the f(R) theory need not be described by an equivalent bounce in the Einstein frame description of the process where actually there may be no bounce at all. Nevertheless the Einstein frame description of the bouncing phenomena turns out to be immensely important as the dynamics of the bounce becomes amenable to logic based on general relativistic intuition. The theory of scalar cosmological perturbations in the bouncing universe models in $f(R)$ theories has also been worked out in the Einstein frame.

Taming the Landscape of Effective Theories

description: We introduce a generalized notion of finiteness that provides a structural principle for the set of effective theories that can be consistently coupled to quantum gravity. More concretely, we propose a Tameness Conjecture that states that all valid effective theories are labelled by a definable parameter space and must have scalar field spaces and coupling functions that are definable using the tame geometry built from an o-minimal structure. We give a brief introduction to tame geometry and describe how it restricts sets, manifolds, and functions. We then collect evidence for the Tameness Conjecture by studying various effective theories arising from string theory compactifications by using some recent advances in tame geometry. In particular, we will exploit the fact that coset spaces and period mappings are definable in an o-minimal structure and argue for non-trivial tameness results in higher-supersymmetric theories and in Calabi-Yau compactifications. As strongest evidence for the Tameness Conjecture over a discrete parameter space, we then discuss a recent theorem stating that the locus of self-dual flux vacua of F-theory admits a tame geometry even if one allows for any flux choice satisfying the tadpole constraint. This result implies the finiteness of self-dual flux vacua in F-theory.
