description: In this paper we report the theoretical results obtained for partial ionization yields and the above-threshold ionization (ATI) spectra of Magnesium in a Ti:sapphire laser field (804 nm) in the range of short pulse duration (20-120 fs). Ionization yield, with linearly polarized light for a 120 fs laser pulse, is obtained as a function of the peak intensity motivated by recent experimental data \cite{gillen:2001}. For this, we have solved the time-dependent Schrödinger equation nonperturbatively on a basis of discretized states obtained with two different methods; one with the two-electron wavefunction relaxed at the boundaries, giving a quadratic discretized basis and the other with the two-electron wavefunction expanded in terms of Mg$^+$-orbitals plus one free electron allowing the handling of multiple continua (open channels). Results, obtained with the two methods, are compared and advantages and disadvantages of the open-channel method are discussed.

Flexoelectricity from density-functional perturbation theory

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2013
Subjects: subject: Materials Science (cond-mat.mtrl-sci)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We derive the complete flexoelectric tensor, including electronic and lattice-mediated effects, of an arbitrary insulator in terms of the microscopic linear response of the crystal to atomic displacements. The basic ingredient, which can be readily calculated from first principles in the framework of density-functional perturbation theory, is the quantum-mechanical probability current response to a long-wavelength acoustic phonon. Its second-order Taylor expansion in the wavevector q around the Gamma (q=0) point in the Brillouin zone naturally yields the flexoelectric tensor. At order one in q we recover Martin's theory of piezoelectricity [R. M. Martin, Phys. Rev. B 5, 1607 (1972)], thus providing an alternative derivation thereof. To put our derivations on firm theoretical grounds, we perform a thorough analysis of the nonanalytic behavior of the dynamical matrix and other response functions in a vicinity of Gamma. Based on this analysis, we find that there is an ambiguity in the specification of the "zero macroscopic field" condition in the flexoelectric case; such arbitrariness can be related to an analytic band-structure term, in close analogy to the theory of deformation potentials. As a byproduct, we derive a rigorous generalization of the Cochran-Cowley formula [W. Cochran and R. A. Cowley, J. Phys. Chem. Solids 23, 447 (1962)] to higher orders in q. This can be of great utility in building reliable atomistic models of electromechanical phenomena, as well as for improving the accuracy of the calculation of phonon dispersion curves. Finally, we discuss the physical interpretation of the various contributions to the flexoelectric response, either in the static or dynamic regime.

title: 3D Growth Substrates in Mammalian Cell Culture in Vitro, their Effects on Cellular Function and Response
Creators: name: Gargotti, Mahmoud
Publisher: name: Technological University Dublin
Year: 2019

description: Three-dimensional (3D) cell culture systems have gained increasing interest in drug discovery and tissue engineering due to a number of advantages in providing more physiologically relevant information and potentially more predictive data for in vivo tests. Extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins have been developed over in recent years to simulate a natural microenvironment for cells cultured in vitro. Conventional cell culture or 2D cell culture form monolayers of cells on a solid surface, which is typically polystyrene or glass, whereas a 3D culture system employ a porous growth matrix on which the cells grow. The transition from cell culture on a flat surface 2D to a 3D model in vitro is expected to mimic more realistic culture environments. However, the major limitation of 2D culture is their lack of structural architecture and stroma and not all types of normal epithelial cell are able to adhere and grow on 2D culture.

description: Most software development projects rely on Integrated Development Environments (IDEs) based on the desktop paradigm, with an interactive, mouse-driven user interface. The standard installation of ACL2, on the other hand, is designed to work closely with Emacs. ACL2 experts, on the whole, like this mode of operation, but students and other new programmers who have learned to program with desktop IDEs often react negatively to the process of adapting to an unfamiliar form of interaction. This paper discusses Proof Pad, a new IDE for ACL2. Proof Pad is not the only attempt to provide ACL2 IDEs catering to students and beginning programmers. The ACL2 Sedan and DrACuLa systems arose from similar motivations. Proof Pad builds on the work of those systems, while also taking into account the unique workflow of the ACL2 theorem proving system. The design of Proof Pad incorporated user feedback from the outset, and that process continued through all stages of development. Feedback took the form of direct observation of users interacting with the IDE as well as questionnaires completed by users of Proof Pad and other ACL2 IDEs. The result is a streamlined interface and fast, responsive system that supports using ACL2 as a programming language and a theorem proving system. Proof Pad also provides a property-based testing environment with random data generation and automated interpretation of properties as ACL2 theorem definitions.

description: Specific contact resistivity measurements have conventionally been heavy in both fabrication and simulation/calculation in order to account for complicated geometries and other effects such as parasitic resistance. We propose a simpler geometry to deliver current, and the use of a scanning voltage probe to sense the potential variation along the sample surface, from which the specific contact resistivity can be straightforwardly deduced. We demonstrate an analytical example in the case where both materials are thin films. Experimental data with a scanning Kelvin probe measurement on graphene from the literature corroborates our model calculation.

description: Fault location within electric power systems is an important topic that helps reduce outage duration and increases reliability of the system. This paper explores the topic of fault location using traveling waves generated by fault conditions and the discrete wavelet transform used for time-frequency analysis. The single-ended and double-ended traveling wave methods are presented and evaluated on a single circuit and double circuit 500kV system modeled using MATLAB SIMULINK. Results are compared on the basis of wavelet used for analysis, sampling rate, and fault resistance.

Electrons and Positrons in Cosmic Rays

description: This review concentrates on the results obtained, over the last ten years, on the astrophysics of high-energy cosmic ray electrons and positrons. The anomalies, observed in the data of recent experiments (possible bump in the electron spectrum and the PAMELA anomaly in the positron fraction) are discussed through the systematic use of simple analytical solutions of the transport equations for cosmic ray electrons. Three main ways of explaining the origin of the anomalies are considered: the conservative way supposing the positrons to be pure secondary particles; the nearby sources like pulsars origin; and the dark matter origin. This review discusses, also, the inability to select the pulsars model or the dark matter model to explain the electron anomalies on the basis of the electron spectra with the usual large energy binning ($\gtrsim15%$). It is argued that the signature of nearby pulsars origin of the anomalies against the dark matter origin could be the fine structure of the cosmic ray electron spectrum predicted in the Malyshev et al. paper (2009) and which was observed in the data from the high-resolution ATIC experiment (2009-2011). To date, the high-resolution ATIC data was the only experimental result of this type published in the literature. Therefore, they should be tested by other experiments as soon as possible. Generally, there is, also, rather controversial situations between the data of the majority of recent experiments and, consequently, there is a noted urgent need for new high-precision and high-statistical experiments.

description: Elevated stress levels pose significant challenges for healthcare students, particularly those pursuing a Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) degree. This study addresses the pressing issue of heightened stress among first-year DPT students, considering the potential impact on their physical and mental well-being, as well as academic performance. Existing research underscores the vulnerability of DPT students to stress, highlighting the need for effective stress management strategies. This study focuses on trait mindfulness as a potential protective factor, exploring its association with perceived psychological stress. Utilizing a quantitative approach and a correlational research design, the investigation examines the relationship between five facets of trait mindfulness and the stress levels experienced by first-year DPT students. Data were collected through validated self-report survey instruments—the Five Factor Mindfulness Questionnaire (FFMQ) and the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10). The results, analyzed through multiple linear regression, reveal that the Nonjudging of Inner Experience facet of trait mindfulness emerges as the most influential predictor of perceived psychological stress among DPT students (p=.003). The findings emphasize the importance of integrating tailored mindfulness interventions into DPT programs to enhance students' coping strategies and better equip them for the demands of their future roles as healthcare professionals.

description: We describe an ACL2 package for defining partial recursive functions that also supports efficient execution. While packages for defining partial recursive functions already exist for other theorem provers, they often require inductive definitions or recursion operators which are not available in ACL2 and they provide little, if any, support for executing the resulting definitions. We use step-indexing as the underlying implementation technology, enabling the definitions to be carried out in first order logic. We also show how recent enhancements to ACL2's guard feature can be used to enable the efficient execution of partial recursive functions.

description: Differences in core level binding energies between atoms belonging to the same chemical species can be related to differences in their intra- and extra-atomic charge distributions, and differences in how their core holes are screened. With this in mind, we consider the charge-excess functional model (CEFM) for net atomic charges in alloys [E. Bruno et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 91, 166401 (2003)]. We begin by deriving the CEFM energy function in order to elucidate the approximations which underpin this model. We thereafter consider the particular case of the CEFM in which the strength of the `local interactions' within all atoms are the same. We show that for binary alloys the ground state charges of this model can be expressed in terms of charge transfer between all pairs of unlike atoms analogously to the linear charge model [R. Magri et al., Phys. Rev. B 42, 11388 (1990)]. Hence the model considered is a generalization of the linear charge model for alloys containing more than two chemical species. We then determine the model's unknown `geometric factors' over a wide range of parameter space. These quantities are linked to the nature of charge screening in the model, and we illustrate that the screening becomes increasingly universal as the strength of the local interactions is increased. We then use the model to derive analytical expressions for various physical quantities, including the Madelung energy and the disorder broadening in the core level binding energies. These expressions are applied to ternary random alloys, for which it is shown that the Madelung energy and magnitude of disorder broadening are maximized at the composition at which the two species with the largest `electronegativity difference' are equal, while the remaining species having a vanishing concentration. This result is somewhat counterintuitive with regards to the disorder broadening since it does not...
title: Multivariate Statistical Methodologies used in In-vitro Raman Spectroscopy: Simulations and Applications for Drug and Nanoparticle Interactions
Creators: name: Keating, Mark Edward
Publisher: name: Technological University Dublin
Year: 2019

description: Raman spectroscopy is a growing technology in the fields of in-vitro drug and nanoparticle screening. The label free capability provided by vibrational spectroscopy, as well as the ability of the technique to probe the chemical nature of samples, makes it a good candidate for use in these fields. Crucial to the progress of these methods is the development and validation of robust and accurate multivariate statistical analysis protocols. In this thesis, both established and novel methods are examined using both real and simulated datasets. In particular, simulated datasets are used to validate and assess the accuracy of these methods in a spectroscopic setting. Firstly, partial least squares regression (PLSR) is examined using a simulated model based on real experimental data. This is applied to investigate the application of the algorithm to continuously varying data with known spectral perturbations introduced over a range of concentrations and responses. The results show that, while PLSR is valid for some dose ranges, sub-lethal, low concentrations and thus subtle spectral changes in the data may lead to difficulties in model construction. Multiple trends present in the data were also investigated and possible model error based on spectral bleedthrough in the regression coefficients RCs is explored. Principal component analysis (PCA) was also investigated using simulated datasets based on known changes in the data. Some of the limitations of PCA for data partitioning and trend analysis are overcome by a novel variant termed, ‘seeded’ PCA. 1st and 2nd derivative data is also explored for improvements in Raman spectral analysis using seeded PCA.
title: Characterisation of Cholesterolcontaining Microparticles in Autoimmunity

description: In recent years, it has become apparent that sub-micron scale remnants of cells, called microparticles (MPs), are present in human circulation. MPs contain DNA, RNA, protein and lipids (such as cholesterol). Increased numbers of MPs are observed in autoimmune conditions such as Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) and Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA). This work aims to address the deficiency in the literature concerning MP cholesterol (MPC) by establishing reference values for MPC in a representative healthy population group, and by investigating the potential of MP cholesterol as a biomarker in autoimmunity.

description: This volume contains the proceedings of the Seventh International Workshop on Computing with Terms and Graphs (TERMGRAPH 2013). The workshop took place in Rome, Italy, on March 23rd, 2013, as part of the sixteenth edition of the European Joint Conferences on Theory and Practice of Software (ETAPS 2013). Research in term and graph rewriting ranges from theoretical questions to practical issues. Computing with graphs handles the sharing of common subexpressions in a natural and seamless way, and improves the efficiency of computations in space and time. Sharing is ubiquitous in several research areas, as witnessed by the modelling of first- and higher-order term rewriting by (acyclic or cyclic) graph rewriting, the modelling of biological or chemical abstract machines, and the implementation techniques of programming languages: many implementations of functional, logic, object-oriented, concurrent and mobile calculi are based on term graphs. Term graphs are also used in automated theorem proving and symbolic computation systems working on shared structures. The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers working in different domains on term and graph transformation and to foster their interaction, to provide a forum for presenting new ideas and work in progress, and to enable newcomers to learn about current activities in term graph rewriting. These proceedings contain six accepted papers and the abstracts of two invited talks. All submissions were subject to careful refereeing. The topics of accepted papers range over a wide spectrum, including theoretical aspects of term graph rewriting, concurrency, semantics as well as application issues of term graph transformation.

description: Coronavirus has a clear negative impact on academic and research activities. Issues created by such pandemic e.g. loss of communication; shut down of school, college and universities; disruption of the formal learning process etc provoke us for the transformation of the learning process from conventional to digital. The primary requirement of this transformation is the availability of a sophisticated, affordable and multitasking tool for providing library services. It is now challenging for the libraries to satisfy their user needs and time to rethink and remodel their services by adopting technological changes. Today mobile phones are becoming an integral part of everyday life and are changing the way one connects and interacts with the world. This paper presents an outline of the concept and the application of developments in mobile telecommunication systems, web technologies to provide ubiquitous, user-friendly, personalized and dynamic up to date information services to the users of a library. Also, further studies are expanded to provide insight into the benefits and challenges against the implementation of mobile technologies to support this ‘new normal’ in the libraries. The practical and theoretical implications of the results have been explored.

description: We present a study on the beam single spin asymmetries $A_{LU}^{\sinϕ_h}$ of $π^+$, $π^-$ and $π^0$ production in semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering process, by considering Collins effect and the $g^\perp D_1$ term simultaneously. We calculate the twist-3 distributions $e(x, \bm k_T^2)$ and $g^\perp(x,\bm k_T^2)$ for the valence quarks inside the proton in a spectator model. We consider two different options for the form of diquark propagator, as well as two different choices for the model parameters in the calculation. Using the model results, we estimate the beam spin asymmetries $A_{LU}^{\sinϕ_h}$ for the charged and neutral pions and compare the results with the measurement from the HERMES Collaboration. We also make predictions on the asymmetries at CLAS with a $5.5 \,\textrm{GeV}$ beam using the same model results. It is found that different choices for the diquark propagator will not only lead to different expressions for the distribution functions, but also result in different sizes of the asymmetries. Our study also shows that, although the spectator model calculation can describe the asymmetries for certain pion production in some kinematic regions, it seems difficult to explain the asymmetries of pion production for all three pions in a consistent way from the current versions.

description: Many biological and man-made networked systems are characterized by the simultaneous presence of different sub-networks organized in separate layers, with links and nodes of qualitatively different types. While during the past few years theoretical studies have examined a variety of structural features of complex networks, the outstanding question is whether such features are characterizing all single layers, or rather emerge as a result of coarse-graining, i.e. when going from the multilayered to the aggregate network representation. Here we address this issue with the help of real data. We analyze the structural properties of an intrinsically multilayered real network, the European Air Transportation Multiplex Network in which each commercial airline defines a network layer. We examine how several structural measures evolve as layers are progressively merged together. In particular, we discuss how the topology of each layer affects the emergence of structural properties in the aggregate network.

description: Measurements and calculations of the absolute carrier-envelope phase (CEP) effects in the photodissociation of the simplest molecule, H2+, with a 4.5-fs Ti:Sapphire laser pulse at intensities up to (4 +- 2)x10^14 Watt/cm^2 are presented. Localization of the electron with respect to the two nuclei (during the dissociation process) is controlled via the CEP of the ultra-short laser pulses. In contrast to previous CEP-dependent experiments with neutral molecules, the dissociation of the molecular ions is not preceded by a photoionization process, which strongly influences the CEP dependence. Kinematically complete data is obtained by time- and position-resolved coincidence detection. The phase dependence is determined by a single-shot phase measurement correlated to the detection of the dissoziation fragments. The experimental results show quantitative agreement with ab inito 3D-TDSE calculations that include nuclear vibration and rotation.

description: Scalable formal verification constitutes an important challenge for the design of asynchronous circuits. Deadlock freedom is a property that is desired but hard to verify. It is an emergent property that has to be verified monolithically. We present our approach to using ACL2 to verify necessary and sufficient conditions over asynchronous delay-insensitive primitives. These conditions are used to derive SAT/SMT instances from circuits built out of these primitives. These SAT/SMT instances help in establishing absence of deadlocks. Our verification effort consists of building an executable checker in the ACL2 logic tailored for our purpose. We prove that this checker is correct. This approach enables us to prove ACL2 theorems involving defun-sk constructs and free variables fully automatically.

description: Topological insulators (TIs) and graphene present two unique classes of materials which are characterized by spin polarized (helical) and non-polarized Dirac-cone band structures, respectively. The importance of many-body interactions that renormalize the linear bands near Dirac point in graphene has been well recognized and attracted much recent attention. However, renormalization of the helical Dirac point has not been observed in TIs. Here, we report the experimental observation of the renormalized quasi-particle spectrum with a skewed Dirac cone in a single Bi bilayer grown on Bi2Te3 substrate, from angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy. First-principles band calculations indicate that the quasi-particle spectra are likely associated with the hybridization between the extrinsic substrate-induced Dirac states of Bi bilayer and the intrinsic surface Dirac states of Bi2Te3 film at close energy proximity. Without such hybridization, only single-particle Dirac spectra are observed in a single Bi bilayer grown on Bi2Se3, where the extrinsic Dirac states Bi bilayer and the intrinsic Dirac states of Bi2Se3 are well separated in energy. The possible origins of many-body interactions are discussed. Our findings provide a means to manipulate topological surface states.
title: Microwave Synthesis and Characterisation of Zinc Sulfide Nanomaterials for Photocatalytic and Anti-Bacterial Applications
Creators: name: Synnott, Damian W.
Publisher: name: Technological University Dublin
Year: 2019

description: This thesis is focused on the development of a novel ambient pressure microwave synthesis of ZnS based materials for photocatalytic and anti-bacterial technologies. Chapter 1 introduces the problems with anti-biotic resistant bacteria and the impact that these species are causing within healthcare systems. One of the approaches to tackling these problems is the development of self-cleaning materials to replace the harsh cleaning agents currently in use to sterilize the surfaces of buildings and materials used in healthcare environments. Chapter 1 also introduces semiconductors, semiconductor photocatalysis and the mechanism of action, improving photocatalytic action and how to semiconductor photocatalysts have been used for anti-bacterial activities. Chapter 1 discusses zinc sulfide and its various properties that make it attractive as a platform for photocatalytic materials with its wide band gap that can be modified to make it work in an indoor environment where UV light is not present. Chapter 2 describes the synthesis techniques employed in developing ZnS and doped ZnS materials using an ambient pressure aqueous method.

On S-duality of the Superconformal Index on Lens Spaces and 2d TQFT

description: We consider the 4d superconformal index for ${\cal N}=2$ gauge theories on $S^1 \times L(r,1)$, where $L(r,1)$ is a Lens space. We focus on a one-parameter slice of the three-dimensional fugacity space and in that sector we show S-duality. We do so by rewriting the index in a way that resembles a correlation function of a 2d TFT, which however, we do not identify.
An Interpreter for Quantum Circuits

description: This paper describes an ACL2 interpreter for "netlists" describing quantum circuits. Several quantum gates are implemented, including the Hadamard gate H, which rotates vectors by 45 degrees, necessitating the use of irrational numbers, at least at the logical level. Quantum measurement presents an especially difficult challenge, because it requires precise comparisons of irrational numbers and the use of random numbers. This paper does not address computation with irrational numbers or the generation of random numbers, although future work includes the development of pseudo-random generators for ACL2.

title: Tsunami threat level database update: regional sources and tsunami warning text
Creators: name: Gusman, Aditya R.

Publisher: name: GNS Science
Year: 2020

description: GNS science has recently developed a tsunami threat level database (version 3.00) for tsunami early warning purposes in New Zealand with 723 earthquake scenarios around the Pacific Ocean. Here we extend the database to include a further 275 regional earthquake scenarios in New Hebrides, Tonga, Kermadec, Hikurangi, Puysegur and Hjort source areas. Scenarios now exist down to lower magnitudes for all of these source areas. The method and assumptions used to create threat level maps are described in this report. For all the new scenarios we have saved simulated tsunami waveforms at the recently proposed new DART buoys around New Zealand and the New Zealand Realm countries in addition to existing DART buoys and tide gauges in Pacific Ocean. We have also generated scripts of tsunami warning text that describe the tsunami threat level maps in words for radio broadcasting. The generated scripts include the previous 723 threat maps as well as the 275 new maps. (auth)

description: It has been shown that a nanoliter chamber separated by a wall of asymmetric obstacles can lead to an inhomogeneous distribution of self-propelled microorganisms. Although it is well established that this rectification effect arises from the interaction between the swimmers and the non-centrosymmetric pillars, here we demonstrate numerically that its efficiency is strongly dependent on the detailed dynamics of the individual microorganism. In particular, for the case of run-and-tumble dynamics, the distribution of run lengths, the rotational diffusion and the partial preservation of run orientation memory through a tumble are important factors when computing the rectification efficiency. In addition, we optimize the geometrical dimensions of the asymmetric pillars in order to maximize the swimmer concentration and we illustrate how it can be used for sorting by swimming strategy in a long array of parallel obstacles.

Optical Absorption in Twisted Bilayer Graphene

description: We theoretically study the optical absorption property of twisted bilayer graphenes with various stacking geometries, and demonstrate that the spectroscopic characteristics serve as a fingerprint to identify the rotation angle between two layers. We find that the absorption spectrum almost continuously evolves in changing the rotation angle, regardless of the lattice commensurability. The spectrum is characterized by series of peaks associated with the van Hove singularity, and the peak energies systematically shift with the rotation angle. We calculate the optical absorption in two different frameworks; the tight-binding model and the effective continuum model based on the Dirac equation. For small rotation angles less than $10^\circ$, the effective model well reproduces the low-energy band structure and the optical conductivity of the tight-binding model, and also explains the optical selection rule analytically in terms of the symmetry of the effective Hamiltonian.

description: The most basic form of postmodernism examines society from a theoretical perspective. The term postmodernism refers to a cinematic movement that emerged in the 1920s and, as the term suggests, represents a distinctive cinematic repertoire that addresses socioeconomic status, gender, and representation of the millennial generation. The present dissertation looks at how postmodernism and hyperpostmodernism interrelate to one another in relation to their socioeconomic concerns. It aims to examine how these two movements reflect the society we live in. It will also delve into the emergence of hyperpostmodernism, which was highlighted by the 2004 film Mean Girls, directed by Mark Waters. I will demonstrate my claim using an array of characteristics associated with postmodernism (intertextuality, metacinema, self-reflection, and metatextual devices) and explain how they can be expressed in varying degrees of complexity, which is based, in part, upon the context of the film and the way that interpretation is informed by society or the individual. This will be explored in four films: Scream (1996), Romeo + Juliet (1996), Charlie's Angels (2000), and Mean Girls (2004). The analysis will shed light on how these postmodern and hyperpostmodern motifs illustrate that they reflect their intellectual and technological context within the generation they exist in. In conclusion, postmodern and hyperpostmodern cinema allows viewers to examine how the world around them influences how they relate to each other. An examination of gender roles, societal peer pressure, and the role of the media is conducted in order to achieve this objective. In a nutshell, the study will clarify how these postmodern and hyperpostmodern tendencies relate to our understanding of culture and society while at the same time explaining how films are products of a technological and intellectual world that is in the process of continually changing. Postmodern and hyperpostmodern cinema provides a window through which viewers can examine themselves and myriads of other people, how they form opinions and what they believe, and how society, as a whole, structures its identity and behavior.
Nematicity as a probe of superconducting pairing in iron-based superconductors

description: In several families of iron-based superconducting materials, a d-wave pairing instability may compete with the leading s-wave instability. Here we show that when both states have comparable free energies, superconducting and nematic degrees of freedom are strongly coupled. While nematic order causes a sharp non-analytic increase in $T_{c}$, nematic fluctuations can change the character of the s-wave to d-wave transition, favoring an intermediate state that does not break time-reversal symmetry but does break tetragonal symmetry. The coupling between superconductivity and nematicity is also manifested in the strong softening of the shear modulus across the superconducting transition. Our results show that nematicity can be used as a diagnostic tool to search for unconventional pairing states in iron pnictides and chalcogenides.
