description: Quantum mass acquisition, in which a massless (quasi)particle becomes massive due to quantum corrections, is predicted to occur in several subfields of physics. However, its experimental observation remains elusive since the emergent energy gap is too small. We show that a spinor Bose-Einstein condensate is an excellent candidate for the observation of such a peculiar phenomenon as the energy gap turns out to be 2 orders of magnitude larger than the zero-point energy. This extraordinarily large energy gap is a consequence of the dynamical instability. The propagation velocity of the resultant massive excitation mode is found to be decreased by the quantum corrections as opposed to phonons.

description: Born May 2, 1773 in North Branch, New Jersey, James Ten Eyck passed his days as a farmer in Somerset County.   As a farmer, Ten Eyck understood the importance of farm machinery, which led Ten Eyck to innovate a farm reaping, cutting and gathering machine for patent and sale in 1825.  According to Virginia S. Burnett, who wrote up a review of Ten Eyck’s reaper for the Journal of Rutgers University Library, “Ten Eyck’s reaper had a horizontal cylinder, with spiral knives cutting against straight edges.  It was calculated to work by manual labor, or with a horse.  Among the advantages of his machine Ten Eyck mentioned the facts that ‘one hand and a horse will cut and secure as much as three cradlers and three binders, in one day; the grain and seed thus gathered is easier and sooner thrashed; one man can do the work of six men in the thrashing; leaving the straw in the field, saves all the drawing of the manure;  the bringing it to the barn, & the stowing of it away, may be done with the one sixth less labour than the usual way.’” (1945, JRUL 8(2): 72)  In 1848, when Cyrus McCormick applied to the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office for an extension of his 1834 patent, it was refused on the basis that it was not new.   In his letter to Philip Pusey, Esq., M.P.,C.H. McCormick admits that the Reel “had been used before,” – Both the specifications and drawings in the Patent Office, conclusively establish the fact that James Ten Eyck patented the reel or “revolving rack,” or “revolving frame” in 1825.  However, Ten Eyck's reaping machine was not successful and its production soon failed.  McCormick's reel proved more successful.

description: In this letter we show that the Rényi entanglement entropy of a region of large size $\ell$ in a one-dimensional critical model whose ground state breaks conformal invariance (such as in those described by non-unitary conformal field theories), behaves as $S_n \sim \frac{c_{\mathrm{eff}}(n+1)}{6n} \log \ell$, where $c_{\mathrm{eff}}=c-24Δ>0$ is the effective central charge, $c$ (which may be negative) is the central charge of the conformal field theory and $Δ\neq 0$ is the lowest holomorphic conformal dimension in the theory. We also obtain results for models with boundaries, and with a large but finite correlation length, and we show that if the lowest conformal eigenspace is logarithmic ($L_0 = ΔI + N$ with $N$ nilpotent), then there is an additional term proportional to $\log(\log \ell)$. These results generalize the well known expressions for unitary models. We provide a general proof, and report on numerical evidence for a non-unitary spin chain and an analytical computation using the corner transfer matrix method for a non-unitary lattice model. We use a new algebraic technique for studying the branching that arises within the replica approach, and find a new expression for the entanglement entropy in terms of correlation functions of twist fields for non-unitary models.

description: The properties of a Higgs boson candidate are measured in the H to ZZ to 4l decay channel, with l = e, mu, using data from pp collisions corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5.1 inverse femtobarns at the center-of-mass energy of sqrt(s) = 7 TeV and 19.7 inverse femtobarns at sqrt(s) = 8 TeV, recorded with the CMS detector at the LHC. The new boson is observed as a narrow resonance with a local significance of 6.8 standard deviations, a measured mass of 125.6 +- 0.4 (stat) +- 0.2 (syst) GeV, and a total width less than 3.4 GeV at the 95% confidence level. The production cross section of the new boson times its branching fraction to four leptons is measured to be 0.93 +0.26 -0.23 (stat) +0.13 -0.09 (syst) times that predicted by the standard model. Its spin-parity properties are found to be consistent with the expectations for the standard model Higgs boson. The hypotheses of a pseudoscalar and all tested spin-one boson hypotheses are excluded at the 99% confidence level or higher. All tested spin-two boson hypotheses are excluded at the 95% confidence level or higher.

description: Spin torque from spin current applied to a nanoscale region of a ferromagnet can act as negative magnetic damping and thereby excite self-oscillations of its magnetization. In contrast, spin torque uniformly applied to the magnetization of an extended ferromagnetic film does not generate self-oscillatory magnetic dynamics but leads to reduction of the saturation magnetization. Here we report studies of the effect of spin torque on a system of intermediate dimensionality - a ferromagnetic nanowire. We observe coherent self-oscillations of magnetization in a ferromagnetic nanowire serving as the active region of a spin torque oscillator driven by spin orbit torques. Our work demonstrates that magnetization self-oscillations can be excited in a one-dimensional magnetic system and that dimensions of the active region of spin torque oscillators can be extended beyond the nanometer length scale.

description: The $^{13}$CO molecule is often used as a column density tracer in regions where the $^{12}$CO emission saturates. The $^{13}$CO column density is then related to that of $^{12}$CO by a uniform isotopic ratio. A similar approximation is frequently used when deriving $^{13}$CO emission maps from numerical simulations of molecular clouds. To test this assumption we calculate the $^{12}$CO/$^{13}$CO ratio self-consistently, taking the isotope selective photodissociation and the chemical fractionation of CO into account. We model the coupled chemical, thermal and dynamical evolution and the emergent $^{13}$CO emission of isolated, starless molecular clouds in various environments. Selective photodissociation has a minimal effect on the ratio, while the chemical fractionation causes a factor of 2-3 decrease at intermediate cloud depths. The variation correlates with both the $^{12}$CO and the $^{13}$CO column densities. Neglecting the depth dependence results in $\leq$60 per cent error in $^{12}$CO column densities derived from $^{13}$CO. The same assumption causes $\leq$50 per cent disparity in the $^{13}$CO emission derived from simulated clouds. We show that the discrepancies can be corrected by a fitting formula. The formula is consistent with millimetre-wavelength isotopic ratio measurements of dense molecular clouds, but underestimates the ratios from the ultraviolet absorption of diffuse regions.

 Automated Survey (ASAS) catalogue. The period of BL Leonis was estimated and
 reported inaccurately in ASAS, which results high scatter in phase-magnitude diagram,

 0.28192994 days, obtained from the application of three standard period finding
 methods, i.e. Lomb-Scargle (LS), Phase Dispersion Minimization (PDM), and
 Minimization of Entropy (ME), the shape of the phase-magnitude diagram is
 significantly improved, which is crucial for light curve modelling and precise estimation
 of physical parameters of the star.

description: The $S$-wave scattering length and the effective range of the Higgs boson in Standard Model are studied using effective-field-theory approach. After incorporating the first-order electroweak correction, the short-range force between two Higgs bosons remains weakly attractive for $M_H=126$ GeV. It is interesting to find that the force range is about two order-of-magnitude larger than the Compton wavelength of the Higgs boson, almost comparable with the typical length scale of the strong interaction.

Regulation of natural killer cell cytotoxic pathways during serial killing activity

description: Natural Killer (NK) cells act as the front line of the body´s defense in the immune system and they are key players in efficiently recognizing and eliminating virus-infected and tumor cells. Individual NK cells can eliminate multiple target cells in a sequential manner during a process named serial killing. There are two major pathways NK cells use to induce apoptosis in their target cells: By releasing the content of cytotoxic granules containing the serine protease granzyme B (GrzB) and the pore-forming protein perforin or by the engagement of death receptors, which initiates caspase cascades via Caspase-8 (Casp8). The contribution of both cell death processes to NK cell cytotoxicity and serial killing remains poorly understood. Therefore, investigating the interplay between these pathways in more detail is important for a better understanding of NK cell cytotoxicity. To visualize the GrzB and death receptor-mediated target cell death in a time-dependent manner, we used fluorescent localization reporters that enabled us to simultaneously measure the activities of GrzB and of Casp8 in target cells upon contact with NK cells by life cell imaging. In this study we observed that NK cells kill their initial targets via the fast GrzB-induced pathway and switch to a slow death receptor-mediated killing for the final target. During the target cell contact NK cells lost GrzB and perforin, whereas the expression of CD95L, a main death cell ligand, was increased on the NK cell surface. The reduction of the lytic granules can be efficiently restored by the stimulation with different cytokines such as IL- 15, IL-2 or IL-21. Perforin deficient NK cells or ILC3 cells were unable to perform GrzB-mediated killing and no serial killing could be mediated without this pathway. In contrast, the absence of death receptor CD95 on the target cell and/or the absence of death receptor ligands on the NK cell had no direct influence on the GrzB-mediated serial killing. This demonstrates that the use of GrzB vs. death receptor-mediated target cell killing is differentially regulated during the serial killing activity of NK cells. Taken together, we observed a rapid target cell death which was induced by GrzB and originated from early established NK : target contacts. In contrast, cell death mediated by Casp-8 was a result of later target cell engagements and took much longer from NK : target cell contact to target cell death.
Shear thickening, frictionless and frictional rheologies in non-Brownian suspensions

description: Particles suspended in a Newtonian fluid raise the viscosity and also generally give rise to a shear-rate dependent rheology. In particular, pronounced shear thickening may be observed at large solid volume fractions. In a recent article (R. Seto, R. Mari, J. F. Morris, and M. M. Denn., Phys. Rev. Lett., 111:218301, 2013) we have considered the minimum set of components to reproduce the experimentally observed shear thickening behavior, including Discontinuous Shear Thickening (DST). We have found frictional contact forces to be essential, and were able to reproduce the experimental behavior by a simulation including this physical ingredient along with viscous lubrication. In the present article, we thoroughly investigate the effect of friction and express it in the framework of the jamming transition. The viscosity divergence at the jamming transition has been a well known phenomenon in suspension rheology, as reflected in many empirical laws for the viscosity. Friction can affect this divergence, and in particular the jamming packing fraction is reduced if particles are frictional. Within the physical description proposed here, shear thickening is a direct consequence of this effect: as the shear rate increases, friction is increasingly incorporated as more contacts form, leading to a transition from a mostly frictionless to a mostly frictional rheology. This result is significant because it shifts the emphasis from lubrication hydrodynamics and detailed microscopic interactions to geometry and steric constraints close to the jamming transition.

Examining the Associations Between Cultural Identity Clarity, Perceived Racism and Drug and Alcohol Use Among Indigenous Australians

description: The current thesis demonstrated that Government publications further perpetuate a deficits-based approach to AOD use among Indigenous Australians and often ignore the strength and resilience of Indigenous peoples (Paper 1). Regarding the empirical research, 66% of the sample reported experiencing interpersonal racism, with the highest proportion of reported experiences occurring in health settings, educational/academic settings and by staff of government agencies. This research indicated that racism is still frequently experienced by Aboriginal Australians and is directly associated with poorer mental health, and indirectly with substance use through poorer mental health (Paper 2). The findings also indicated that among Indigenous Australians cultural identity clarity may buffer against the negative effects of microaggressions, such as perceived racism, on psychological risk (Paper 3).

description: As immigration to Europe has increased, so has support for extremist parties. While many studies have examined the effect of immigration on election outcomes, few have probed the effect of asylum seekers – those fleeing strife and persecution – on voting, nor has there been much research on the mediating role of local economic conditions. Drawing on county level panel data from Germany, our study fills both gaps. We find that economic circumstances, as measured by the unemployment rate and the level of disposable income, condition voters’ responses to the presence of asylum seekers, but the effects for parties on the far right and left diverge markedly. Under economic prosperity, immigration increases support on both sides of the political spectrum. As economic conditions worsen, however, the effect of asylum seekers on the vote share for the far right remains stable, but weakens for the left, eventually becoming negative. This divergence – which has not yet been reported in the literature – suggests that an influx of asylum seekers, particularly when coupled with an economic downturn, could tilt a political system rightwards. From a policy perspective, these results suggest that heterogeneity arising from local economic conditions has important implications for the regional allocation of asylum seekers.

description: Due to the increased popularity of herbomineral preparations in the healthcare sector, a new proprietary herbomineral formulation was formulated consisting of ashwagandha root extract and three minerals viz. zinc chloride, magnesium gluconate, and sodium selenate. The objective of the study was to evaluate the in vitro effect of Biofield Energy Healing (The Trivedi Effect®) on the test formulation using murine splenocyte cells. The herbomineral formulation was divided into two parts; one defined as the control, while the other part was treated with the Biofield Energy Healing Treatment performed from a remote distance by twenty renowned Biofield Energy Healers (The Trivedi Effect®) and defined as the Biofield Treated formulation. The splenocyte cells were exposed to test formulations at concentration from 0.00001053 to 10.53 µg/mL and were analyzed after 48 hours for cell viability using MTT assay. The expression of the cytokines (TNF-α, IFN-γ, IL-1β, and MIP-1α) was determined using ELISA assay. The cell viability data showed that all the tested concentration ranges were found to be safe with percentage cell viability at more than 80%. Further, TNF-α expression was significantly inhibited in the Biofield Treated test formulation group with respect to the vehicle control, while at 0.001053 and 0.1053 µg/mL, the expression was suppressed by 1.70% and 8.16%, respectively in the Biofield Treated test formulation compared to the untreated formulation. However, a significant immunosuppression was reported in IFN-γ expression at 0.00001053, 0.0001053, 0.01053, 0.1053, and 1.053 µg/mL by 12.63%, 2.31%, 8.31%, 9.15%, and 7.86%, respectively in the Biofield Treated test formulation compared with the untreated test formulation. The MIP-1α expression was inhibited by 8.31%, 21.53%, and 8.70% at 0.0001053, 0.01053, and 0.1053 µg/mL, respectively in the Biofield Treated formulation compared with the untreated test formulation. However, IL-1β expression was significantly suppressed by 19.72% at concentration 0.00001053 µg/mL in the Biofield Treated test formulation compared with the untreated test formulation. Thus, the down-regulation of tested cytokines and chemokines in the Biofield Energy Healing test formulation might be applicable for controlling acute and chronic inflammation in many clinical diseases. Overall, the results demonstrated that The Trivedi Effect®- Biofield Energy Healing (TEBEH) has the capacity to potentiate the immunomodulatory activity of the test formulation, which can be useful against autoimmune disorders. Biofield Treated Test formulation may also be useful in anti-aging, anti-inflammatory, stress management and in preventing immune-mediated tissue damage in organ transplants by improving overall health and quality of life.

description: New effects of nontrivial neutrino electromagnetic properties are investigated on the basis of exact solutions of the modified Dirac equations for neutrinos in dense magnetized rotating matter. The effect of spatial separation of different types of neutrinos and antineutrinos (different in flavors and energies) moving inside dense magnetized rotating matter is predicted. We also describe a new mechanism of a star rotation frequency shift by neutrinos escaping the star (termed "Neutrino Star Turning" mechanism, $νS T$). The $νS T$ mechanism can explain the origin of pulsar "anti-glitches" and ordinary glitches as well. Considering a possible effect of the $νS T$ mechanism on speeding up of a pulsar together with the observational data on pulsars, we obtain a new limit on a neutrino millicharge $q_ν<1.3\times10^{-19}e_0$ that is one of the strongest limits on this value obtained in astrophysics.

description: Recent developments in chromatin interaction mapping technologies have greatly advanced the study of higher-order genome organization in the three-dimensional (3D) cell nucleus, which is of vital importance to fundamental genome functions such as DNA replication timing (RT) and gene transcription. However, the principles underlying the 3D genome organization and function and the detailed patterns on how the 3D genome has changed in mammalian evolution remain largely unclear. To directly address these questions, in this Ph.D. dissertation, I developed new machine learning frameworks to advance the methodologies for the comparisons of 3D genome organization across multiple species and for unveiling critical information encoded in the genome that may regulate large-scale chromosome structure and function. First, I developed a new model named phylogenetic hidden Markov Gaussian processes (Phylo-HMGP) to simultaneously infer genome-wide heterogeneous evolutionary patterns of continuous-trait functional genomic features. Phylo-HMGP models both temporal dependencies across species and spatial dependencies along the genome. Real data application to a new RT dataset based on Repli-seq from five primate species demonstrated that Phylo-HMGP greatly refined our understanding of crossspecies RT patterns. Next, I developed a new probabilistic model named Phylo-HMRF, a unique framework to compare multi-species 3D genome organizations based on Hi-C data. The method incorporates 3D spatial constraints with continuous-trait evolutionary models. Phylo-HMRF uncovered patterns of 3D genome evolution in primate species that show novel connections to other genome structural and functional features. Finally, I developed a generic interpretable machine learning framework named CONCERT to predict large-scale chromosome domain features with a focus on RT profile directly from genomic sequences. CONCERT enables the identification of genome-wide sequence elements that modulate the RT program by jointly performing predictive element estimation and longrange spatial dependency learning. Application of CONCERT to multiple human and mouse cell types demonstrated the effectiveness of the method. Taken together, the methods developed in this Ph.D. dissertation have established a series of new algorithmic formulations for effective comparison and high-resolution characterization of evolutionary patterns of 3D genome organization, revealing genomic regions with conserved or species-specific structural and functional roles. The methods have the potential to provide critical insights into the regulatory principles of nuclear structures and the sequence determinants underlying the strongly intertwined nature of genome structure and function.

description: The use of herbomineral formulations in the healthcare sector has increased due to their high safety and better therapeutic action. A new proprietary herbomineral formulation was formulated with a combination of the herbal root extract ashwagandha and minerals viz. zinc, magnesium, and selenium. The aim of the study was to evaluate the immunomodulatory potential of Biofield Energy Healing (The Trivedi Effect®) on the test formulation in splenocytes. The test formulation was divided into two parts; one was the control without the Biofield Energy Treatment, while the other part was defined as the Biofield Energy Treated sample, which received the Biofield Energy Healing Treatment remotely by seven renowned Biofield Energy Healers. The MTT assay showed that the test formulation exhibited safe concentrations up to 1.053 µg/mL with cell viability ranging from 88.19% to 110.30% in the Biofield Energy Treated sample. The Biofield Energy Healing significantly enhanced the cell viability as compared with the untreated test formulation. The expression of TNF-α was significantly inhibited by 7.23% at 1.053 µg/mL in the Biofield Energy Treated test formulation compared with the vehicle control. The level of TNF-α was significantly decreased by 3.90%, 11.74%, 3.12%, and 9.17% at 0.001053, 0.01053, 0.1053 and 1.053 µg/mL, respectively in the Biofield Energy Treated test formulation compared with the untreated test formulation. Additionally, the expression of IL-1β was significantly reduced by 28.98%, 51.23%, 53.06%, 48.98%, 55.71%, and 59.10% at 0.00001053, 0.0001053, 0.001053, 0.01053, 0.1053, and 1.053 µg/mL, respectively in the Biofield Energy Treated test formulation compared with the vehicle control. Further, the Biofield Treated test formulation showed significant reduction of IL-1β by 35.07% (p≤0.05), 47.46% (p≤0.05), and 57.51% (p≤0.01) at 0.001053, 0.1053, and 1.053 µg/mL, respectively compared with the untreated test formulation. Similarly, the MIP-1α expression was inhibited by the Biofield Energy Treated formulation and showed immunosuppressive activity at 0.00001053, 0.0001053, 0.001053, and 0.01053 µg/mL by 19.38%, 24.97%, 31.23%, and 25.41%, respectively compared with the vehicle control group. The Biofield Treated test formulation significantly (p0.001) reduced the MIP-1α expression by 19.33%, 22.57%, and 30.50% at 0.0001053, 0.001053, and 0.01053 µg/mL, respectively compared with the untreated test formulation. Overall, The Trivedi Effect® - Biofield Energy Healing (TEBEH) significantly down-regulated the pro-inflammatory cytokines and potentiated the immunosuppressive effect of the Biofield Energy Treated test formulation, which can be better utilized for organ transplants, autoimmune diseases, inflammatory disorders, anti-aging, stress management, overall health and quality of life, etc.

description: A proprietary herbomineral formulation was formulated with four ingredients; a mixture of the minerals (zinc, magnesium, and selenium) and the herbal root extract ashwagandha. The aim of the study was to evaluate the immunomodulatory potential of Biofield Energy Healing (The Trivedi Effect®) on the herbomineral formulation in splenocyte cells, which were isolated from Biofield Treated mice. The test formulation was divided into two parts. One part was denoted as the control without any Biofield Energy Treatment, while the other part was defined as the Biofield Energy Treated sample, which received the Biofield Energy Healing Treatment remotely from seven renowned Biofield Energy Healers. The splenocyte cells were treated with the test formulation at concentrations ranges from 0.00001053 to 10.53 µg/mL and analyzed after 48 hours of treatment by MTT assay. The cell viability data showed safe concentrations up to 1.053 µg/mL with viability ranges from 69.22% to 123.88% in the test formulation groups. The expression of TNF-α was decreased by 4.82% at 1.053 µg/mL in the Biofield Energy Treated test formulation compared with the vehicle control. The level of TNF-α was significantly decreased by 2.02%, 4.92%, and 18.78% at 0.00001053, 0.001053, and 1.053 µg/mL, respectively in the Biofield Energy Treated test formulation group as compared to the untreated test formulation. The expression of IL-1β was significantly reduced by 83.65%, 92.15%, 27.30%, and 41.88% at 0.00001053, 0.0001053, 0.001053, and 1.053 µg/mL, respectively in the Biofield Energy Treated test formulation compared with the vehicle control. The Biofield Treated test formulation showed significant reduction of IL-1β by 17.26%, 92.61% (p≤0.001), 34.62% (p≤0.05), and 16.13% at 0.00001053, 0.0001053, 0.001053, and 1.053 µg/mL, respectively compared with the untreated test formulation. Additionally, the expression of chemokine MIP-1α was significantly reduced by 17.03%, 10.99%, 22.33%, 24.21%, 21.61%, and 30.67% at 0.00001053, 0.0001053, 0.001053, 0.01053, 0.1053, and 1.053 µg/mL, respectively in the Biofield Treated test formulation compared with the vehicle control. The MIP-1α expression was significantly reduced by 19.32% and 12.56% at 0.01053 and 0.1053 µg/mL, respectively in the Biofield Treated test formulation compared with the untreated test formulation. The overall results demonstrated that the Biofield Energy Treated test formulation significantly down-regulated the expression of TNF-α, IL-1β, and MIP-1α in the Biofield Treated mice splenocyte cells compared to the untreated test formulation. These data suggest that the Biofield Treated test formulation can be used for autoimmune and inflammatory diseases, stress management and anti-aging by improving overall health.

description: We study numerically the phase structure and the gluon propagator of the SU(2) gauge-Higgs model in two dimensions. First, we calculate gauge-invariant quantities, in particular the static potential from Wilson Loop, the W propagator, and the plaquette expectation value. Our results suggest that a confinement-like region and a Higgs-like region appear even in two dimensions. In the confinement-like region, the static potential rises linearly, with string breaking at large distances, while in the Higgs-like region, it is of Yukawa type, consistent with a Higgs-type mechanism. The correlation length obtained from the W propagator has a finite maximum between these regions. The plaquette expectation value shows a smooth cross-over consistent with the Fradkin-Shenker-Osterwalder-Seiler theorem. From these results, we suggest that there is no phase transition in two dimensions. We also calculate a gauge-dependent order parameter in Landau gauge. Unlike gauge invariant quantities, the gauge non-invariant order parameter has a line of discontinuity separating these two regions. Finally we calculate the gluon propagtor. We infer from its infrared behavior that the gluon propagator would vanish at zero momentum in the infinite-volume limit, consistent with an analytical study.

description: A symmetric and a nonsymmetric variant of the additive Schwarz preconditioner are proposed for the solution of a nonsymmetric system of algebraic equations arising from a general finite volume element discretization of symmetric elliptic problems with large jumps in the entries of the coefficient matrices across subdomains. It is shown in the analysis, that the convergence of the preconditioned GMRES iteration with the proposed preconditioners, depends polylogarithmically on the mesh parameters, in other words, the convergence is only weakly dependent on the mesh parameters, and it is robust with respect to the jumps in the coefficients.

description: We extend the construction of the relativistic Toda chains as integrable systems on the Poisson submanifolds in Lie groups beyond the case of A-series. For the simply-laced case this is just a direct generalization of the well-known relativistic Toda chains, and we construct explicitly the set of the Ad-invariant integrals of motion on symplectic leaves, which can be described by the Poisson quivers being just the blown up Dynkin diagrams. We also demonstrate how to get the set of "minimal" integrals of motion, using the co-multiplication rules for the corresponding Lie algebras. In the non simply-laced case the corresponding Bogoyavlensky-Coxeter-Toda systems are constructed using the Fock-Goncharov folding of the corresponding Poisson submanifolds. We discuss also how this procedure can be extended for the affine case beyond A-series, and consider explicitly an example from the affine D-series.

description: Density functional calculations are performed to investigate the experimentally-reported field-induced phase transition in thin-film ZrO2 (J. Muller et al., Nano. Lett. 12, 4318). We find a small energy difference of ~ 1 meV/f.u. between the nonpolar tetragonal and polar orthorhombic structures, characteristic of antiferroelectricity. The requisite first-order transition between the two phases, which atypically for antiferroelectrics have a group-subgroup relation, results from coupling to other zone-boundary modes, as we show with a Landau-Devonshire model. Tetragonal ZrO2 is thus established as a previously unrecognized lead-free antiferroelectric with excellent dielectric properties and compatibility with silicon. In addition, we demonstrate that a ferroelectric phase of ZrO2 can be stabilized through epitaxial strain, and suggest an alternative stabilization mechanism through continuous substitution of Zr by Hf.

description: Kaluza-Klein (KK) parity can be violated in five-dimensional universal extra dimensional model with boundary-localized (kinetic or mass) terms (BLTs) at the fixed points of $S^1/Z_2$ orbifold. In this framework we study the resonant production of Kaluza-Klein excitations of the neutral electroweak gauge bosons at the LHC and their decay into an electron-positron pair or a muon-antimuon pair. We use the results (first time in our knowledge) given by the LHC experiment to constrain the mass range of the first KK-excitation of the electroweak gauge bosons ($B^1\ \textrm{and} \ W_3^1$). It is interesting to note that the LHC result puts an upper limit on the masses of the $n=1$ KK-leptons for positive values of BLT parameters and depending upon the mass of $\ell^{+}\ell^{-}$ resonance.
