description: The Chiral Magnetic Wave (CMW) phenomenon is essential to provide insights into the strong interaction in QCD, the properties of the quark-gluon plasma, and the topological characteristics of the early universe, offering a deeper understanding of fundamental physics in high-energy collisions. Measurements of the charge-dependent anisotropic flow coefficients are studied in Pb-Pb collisions at center-of-mass energy per nucleon-nucleon collision $\sqrt{s_{\mathrm{NN}}}=$ 5.02 TeV to probe the CMW. In particular, the slope of the normalized difference in elliptic ($v_{2}$) and triangular ($v_{3}$) flow coefficients of positively and negatively charged particles as a function of their event-wise normalized number difference, is reported for inclusive and identified particles. The slope $r_{3}^{\rm Norm}$ is found to be larger than zero and to have a magnitude similar to $r_{2}^{\rm Norm}$, thus pointing to a large background contribution for these measurements. Furthermore, $r_{2}^{\rm Norm}$ can be described by a blast wave model calculation that incorporates local charge conservation. In addition, using the event shape engineering technique yields a fraction of CMW ($f_{\rm CMW}$) contribution to this measurement which is compatible with zero. This measurement provides the very first upper limit for $f_{\rm CMW}$, and in the 10-60% centrality interval it is found to be 26% (38%) at 95% (99.7%) confidence level.

Reconsideration of the literature to identify specimens in Yap lead to a better identification of specimens reported in Lobban et al. (2012) as L. clavata Gregory (Lobban & Tharngan in prep.), based on Hustedt’s (1961–1966) key, differentiating groups on the basis of rostrate ends, including clavata, from those with rounded apices, including hennedyi. Stria densities are similar in these two species.

description: Under flavor $SU(3)$ symmetry (SU(3)$_F$), the final-state particles in $B\to PPP$ decays ($P$ is a pseudoscalar meson) are treated as identical, and the $PPP$ must be in a fully-symmetric (FS) state, a fully-antisymmetric (FA) state, or in one of four mixed states. In this paper, we present the formalism for the FA states. We write the amplitudes for the 22 $B\to PPP$ decays that can be in an FA state in terms of both SU(3)$_F$ reduced matrix elements and diagrams. This shows the equivalence of diagrams and SU(3)$_F$. We also give 15 relations among the amplitudes in the SU(3)$_F$ limit, as well as the additional four that appear when the diagrams $E$/$A$/$PA$ are neglected. We present sets of $B \to PPP$ decays that can be used to extract $γ$ using the FA amplitudes. The value(s) of $γ$ found in this way can be compared with the value(s) found using the FS states.

description: We present a simulation-based inference framework using a convolutional neural network to infer dynamical masses of galaxy clusters from their observed 3D projected phase-space distribution, which consists of the projected galaxy positions in the sky and their line-of-sight velocities. By formulating the mass estimation problem within this simulation-based inference framework, we are able to quantify the uncertainties on the inferred masses in a straightforward and robust way. We generate a realistic mock catalogue emulating the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Legacy spectroscopic observations (the main galaxy sample) for redshifts $z \lesssim 0.09$ and explicitly illustrate the challenges posed by interloper (non-member) galaxies for cluster mass estimation from actual observations. Our approach constitutes the first optimal machine learning-based exploitation of the information content of the full 3D projected phase-space distribution, including both the virialized and infall cluster regions, for the inference of dynamical cluster masses. We also present, for the first time, the application of a simulation-based inference machinery to obtain dynamical masses of around $800$ galaxy clusters found in the SDSS Legacy Survey, and show that the resulting mass estimates are consistent with mass measurements from the literature.

description: Precise measurement of stellar properties through the observation of continuous gravitational waves from spinning non-axisymmetric neutron stars can shed light onto new physics beyond terrestrial laboratories. Although hitherto undetected, prospects for detecting continuous gravitational waves improve with longer observation periods and more sensitive gravitational wave detectors. We study the capability of the Advanced Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory, and the Einstein Telescope to measure the physical properties of neutron stars through continuous gravitational wave observations. We simulate a population of Galactic neutron stars, assume continuous gravitational waves from the stars have been detected, and perform parameter estimation of the detected signals. Using the estimated parameters, we infer the stars' moments of inertia, ellipticities, and the components of the magnetic dipole moment perpendicular to the rotation axis. The estimation of the braking index proved challenging and is responsible for the majority of the uncertainties in the inferred parameters. Using the Einstein Telescope with an observation period of 5 yrs, point estimates using median can be made on the moments of inertia with error of ~ 10 - 100% and on the ellipticities with error of ~ 5 - 50%, subject to the inference of the braking index. The perpendicular magnetic dipole moment could not be accurately inferred for neutron stars that emit mainly gravitational waves.

description: Modulation of electronic properties of materials by electric fields is central to the operation of modern semiconductor devices, providing access to complex electronic behaviors and greater freedom in tuning the energy bands of materials. Here, we explore one-dimensional superlattices induced by a confining electrostatic potential in monolayer MoS$_2$, a prototypical two-dimensional semiconductor. Using first-principles calculations, we show that periodic potentials applied to monolayer MoS$_2$ induce electrostatic superlattices in which the response is dominated by structural distortions relative to purely electronic effects. These structural distortions reduce the intrinsic band gap of the monolayer substantially while also polarizing the monolayer through piezoelectric coupling, resulting in spatial separation of charge carriers as well as Stark shifts that produce dispersive minibands. Importantly, these minibands inherit the valley-selective magnetic properties of monolayer MoS$_2$, enabling fine control over spin-valley coupling in MoS$_2$ and similar transition-metal dichalcogenides.

description: In this paper we consider the joint problems of state estimation and model identification for a class of continuous-time nonlinear systems in output-feedback canonical form. An adaptive observer is proposed that combines an extended high-gain observer and a discrete-time identifier. The extended observer provides the identifier with a data set permitting the identification of the system model and the identifier adapts the extended observer according to the new estimated model. The design of the identifier is approached as a system identification problem and sufficient conditions are presented that, if satisfied, allow different identification algorithms to be used for the adaptation phase. The cases of recursive least-squares and multiresolution black-box identification via wavelet-based identifiers are specifically addressed. Stability results are provided relating the asymptotic estimation error to the prediction capabilities of the identifier. Robustness with respect to additive disturbances affecting the system equations and measurements is also established in terms of an input-to-state stability property relative to the noiseless estimates.

Robust frequency-dependent diffusion kurtosis computation using an efficient direction scheme, axisymmetric modelling, and spatial regularization

description: Frequency-dependent diffusion MRI (dMRI) using oscillating gradient encoding and diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI) techniques have been shown to provide additional insight into tissue microstructure compared to conventional dMRI. However, a technical challenge when combining these techniques is that the generation of the large b-values required for DKI is difficult when using oscillating gradient diffusion encoding. While efficient encoding schemes can enable larger b-values by maximizing multiple gradient channels simultaneously, they do not have sufficient directions to enable fitting of the full kurtosis tensor. Accordingly, we investigate a DKI fitting algorithm that combines axisymmetric DKI fitting, a prior that enforces the same axis of symmetry for all oscillating gradient frequencies, and spatial regularization, which together enable robust DKI fitting for a 10-direction scheme that offers double the b-value compared to traditional direction schemes. Using data from mice (oscillating frequencies of 0, 60, and 120 Hz) and humans (0 Hz only), we first show that axisymmetric modelling is advantageous over full kurtosis tensor fitting in terms of preserving contrast and reducing noise in DKI maps, and improved DKI map quality when using an efficient encoding scheme with averaging as compared to a traditional scheme with more encoding directions. We also demonstrate how spatial regularization during fitting preserves spatial features better than using Gaussian filtering prior to fitting, which is an oft-reported preprocessing step for DKI, and that enforcing consistent axes of symmetries across frequencies improves fitting quality. Thus, the use of an efficient 10-direction scheme combined with the proposed DKI fitting algorithm provides robust maps of frequency-dependent directional kurtosis parameters that can be used to explore novel biomarkers for various pathologies.

description: We present a phenomenological model to investigate the chiral phase transition characterized by parity doubling in dense, beta equilibrated, cold matter. Our model incorporates effective interactions constrained by SU(3) relations and considers baryonic degrees of freedom. By constraining the model with astrophysical data and nuclear matter properties, we find a first-order phase transition within realistic values of the slope parameter L. The inclusion of the baryon octet and negative parity partners, along with a chiral-invariant mass $m_{0}$, allows for a non-massless chiral symmetric phase. Through exploration of parameter space, we identify parameter sets satisfying mass and radius constraints without requiring a partonic phase. The appearance of the parity partner of the nucleon, the N(1535) resonance, suppresses strangeness, pushing hyperonization to higher densities. We observe a mild first-order phase transition to the chirally restored phase, governed by $m_{0}$. Our calculations of surface tension highlight its strong dependence on $m_{0}$. The existence of mixed phases is ruled out since they become energetically too costly. We compare stars with metastable and stable cores using both branches of the equation of state. Despite limited lifespans due to low surface tension values, phase conversion and star contraction could impact neutron stars with masses around 1.3 solar masses or more. We discuss some applications of this model in its non-zero temperatures generalization and scenarios beyond beta equilibrium that can provide insights into core-collapse supernovae, proto-neutron star evolution, and neutron star mergers. Core-collapse supernovae dynamics, influenced by chiral symmetry restoration and exotic hadronic states, affect explosion mechanisms and nucleosynthesis.

description: In this paper, we study analytical approximate solutions of the second-order homogeneous differential equations with the existence of only two turning points (but without poles), by using the uniform asymptotic approximation (UAA) method. To be more concrete, we consider the Pöschl-Teller (PT) potential, for which analytical solutions are known. Depending on the values of the parameters involved in the PT potential, we find that the upper bounds of the errors of the approximate solutions in general are $\lesssim 0.15\% \sim 10\% $, to the first-order approximation of the UAA method. The approximations can be easily extended to high-order, with which the errors are expected to be much smaller. Such obtained analytical solutions can be used to study cosmological perturbations in the framework of quantum cosmology, as well as quasi-normal modes of black holes.

Algorithms for Discrete Denoising Under Channel Uncertainty

Year: 2005
Subjects: subject: Information Theory (cs.IT)

description: The goal of a denoising algorithm is to reconstruct a signal from its noise-corrupted observations. Perfect reconstruction is seldom possible and performance is measured under a given fidelity criterion. In a recent work, the authors addressed the problem of denoising unknown discrete signals corrupted by a discrete memoryless channel when the channel, rather than being completely known, is only known to lie in some uncertainty set of possible channels. A sequence of denoisers was derived for this case and shown to be asymptotically optimal with respect to a worst-case criterion argued most relevant to this setting. In the present work we address the implementation and complexity of this denoiser for channels parametrized by a scalar, establishing its practicality. We show that for symmetric channels, the problem can be mapped into a convex optimization problem, which can be solved efficiently. We also present empirical results suggesting the potential of these schemes to do well in practice. A key component of our schemes is an estimator of the subset of channels in the uncertainty set that are feasible in the sense of being able to give rise to the noise-corrupted signal statistics for some channel input distribution. We establish the efficiency of this estimator, both algorithmically and experimentally. We also present a modification of the recently developed discrete universal denoiser (DUDE) that assumes a channel based on the said estimator, and show that, in practice, the resulting scheme performs well. For concreteness, we focus on the binary alphabet case and binary symmetric channels, but also discuss the extensions of the algorithms to general finite alphabets and to general channels parameterized by a scalar.

description: A key feature of sequential decision making under uncertainty is a need to balance between exploiting--choosing the best action according to the current knowledge, and exploring--obtaining information about values of other actions. The multi-armed bandit problem, a classical task that captures this trade-off, served as a vehicle in machine learning for developing bandit algorithms that proved to be useful in numerous industrial applications. The active inference framework, an approach to sequential decision making recently developed in neuroscience for understanding human and animal behaviour, is distinguished by its sophisticated strategy for resolving the exploration-exploitation trade-off. This makes active inference an exciting alternative to already established bandit algorithms. Here we derive an efficient and scalable approximate active inference algorithm and compare it to two state-of-the-art bandit algorithms: Bayesian upper confidence bound and optimistic Thompson sampling. This comparison is done on two types of bandit problems: a stationary and a dynamic switching bandit. Our empirical evaluation shows that the active inference algorithm does not produce efficient long-term behaviour in stationary bandits. However, in the more challenging switching bandit problem active inference performs substantially better than the two state-of-the-art bandit algorithms. The results open exciting venues for further research in theoretical and applied machine learning, as well as lend additional credibility to active inference as a general framework for studying human and animal behaviour.

description: Compared to light interferometers, the flux in cold-atom interferometers is low and the associated shot noise large. Sensitivities beyond these limitations require the preparation of entangled atoms in different momentum modes. Here, we demonstrate a source of entangled atoms that is compatible with state-of-the-art interferometers. Entanglement is transferred from the spin degree of freedom of a Bose-Einstein condensate to well-separated momentum modes, witnessed by a squeezing parameter of -3.1(8) dB. Entanglement-enhanced atom interferometers open up unprecedented sensitivities for quantum gradiometers or gravitational wave detectors.

description: Numerical simulations of the intergalactic medium have shown that at the present epoch a significant fraction (40-50%) of the baryonic component should be found in the (T~10^6K) Warm-Hot Intergalactic Medium (WHIM) - with several recent observational lines of evidence indicating the validity of the prediction. We here recompute the evolution of the WHIM with the following major improvements: (1) galactic superwind feedback processes from galaxy/star formation are explicitly included; (2) major metal species (O V to O IX) are computed explicitly in a non-equilibrium way; (3) mass and spatial dynamic ranges are larger by a factor of 8 and 2, respectively, than in our previous simulations. Here are the major findings: (1) galactic superwinds have dramatic effects, increasing the WHIM mass fraction by about 20%, primarily through heating up warm gas near galaxies with density 10^{1.5}-10^4 times the mean density. (2) the fraction of baryons in WHIM is increased modestly from the earlier work but is ~40-50%. (3) the gas density of the WHIM is broadly peaked at a density 10-20 times the mean density, ranging from underdense regions to regions that are overdense by 10^3-10^4. (4) the median metallicity of the WHIM is 0.18 Zsun for oxygen with 50% and 90% intervals being (0.040,0.38) and (0.0017,0.83).

Black Women in Academe: Progress But No Parity

description: Many women who have been mentored by male scholars that are intellectually demanding, have been told to cut back on some of the time they devote to teaching and service in order to concentrate on research. While well meaning and possibly appropriate, this masculine perspective mirrors sexist attitudes that are prevalent both within and outside the academy.

Beyond the Barstool: Culture and Community at The Woodland Inn
Creators: name: Justis, Lara
Publisher: name: Maryland Shared Open Access Repository
Year: 2012

description: The project ―Beyond the Barstool: Culture and Community at The Woodland Inn – sought to identify, record, and present that history and to examine the notion that a neighborhood bar can significantly contribute to the sustainability and cohesion of a community. To illustrate the strong ties that people have formed around The Woodland Inn, this capstone focused on the specific function of collective memory shared through personal photographic archives from patrons of The Woodland Inn. Conducted over the course of eight months, the study involved community interactions, observations, and historical research. This evidence, when presented collectively, demonstrates how The Woodland Inn has and continues to provide a powerful binding force between culture and community. These materials provide a substantial foundation for the transformation of this thesis from an individual endeavor into a community-wide initiative to preserve a dynamic cultural identity.

description: We evaluate the contribution of the CP violating gluon chromo-electric dipole moment (the so-called Weinberg operator, denoted as $w$) to the electric dipole moment (EDM) of nucleons in the nonrelativistic quark model. The CP-odd interquark potential is modeled by the perturbative one-loop level gluon exchange generated by the Weinberg operator with massive quarks and gluons. The nucleon EDM is obtained by solving the nonrelativistic Schrödinger equation of the three-quark system using the Gaussian expansion method. It is found that the resulting nucleon EDM, which may reasonably be considered as the irreducible contribution, is smaller than the one obtained after $γ_5$-rotating the anomalous magnetic moment using the CP-odd mass calculated with QCD sum rules. We estimate the total contribution to be $d_n = w \times 20 \, e \, {\rm MeV}$ and $d_p = - w \times 18 \, e \, {\rm MeV}$ with 60% of theoretical uncertainty.

Child Safety Seat Usage in Kentucky after Enactment of a Mandatory Usage Law
Creators: name: Agent, Kenneth R.
Publisher: name: Kentucky Transportation Center, University of Kentucky
Year: 1983
Subjects: subject: Transportation Engineering

description: The 1982 Kentucky General Assembly enacted a law requiring use of child safety seats for children 40 inches or less in height. To evaluate the effectness of this law, usage surveys had to be completed before and after the law became effective. This study summarizes data collected one year after enactment of the law and compares this with ''before" data.  One year after enactment of the mandatory usage law the statewide child safety seat usage rate was 22.7 percent. This compared to 14.4 percent usage before the law and represents a statistically significant increase. Usage increased in 18 of the 19 cities surveyed. Proper usage remained a problem. Only 50 percent of the child safety seats were used properly. A statewide driver safety belt usage rate of 5.8 percent compared to 4.2 percent the year before.  The increase in usage of child safety seats may be attributed to both enactment of the mandatory usage law and increased educational and promotional campaigns. Modifications, which should strengthen the existing law, were recommended.

description: Noncollinear magnetism opens exciting possibilities to generate topological superconductivity. Here, we focus on helical and cycloidal magnetic textures in magnet-superconductor hybrid structures in a background magnetic field. We demonstrate that this system can enter a topological phase which can be understood as a set of parallel topological wires. We explore and confirm this idea in depth with three different approaches: a continuum model, a tight-binding model based on the magnetic unit cell, and exact diagonalization on a finite two-dimensional lattice. The key signature of this topological state is the presence of Majorana bound states at certain disclination defects in the magnetic texture. Based on the $C_2$ symmetry imposed by the helical or cycloidal texture, we employ the theory of topological crystalline superconductors with rotation invariants to obtain the Majorana parity at disclinations. Furthermore, we consider a 90-degree helimagnet domain wall, which is formed by a string of alternating disclinations. We discuss how the resulting chain of disclination bound states hybridizes into two chiral modes with different velocities. We suggest that hybrid systems of chiral magnets and superconductors are capable of hosting Majorana modes in various spatial configurations with potentially far less nano-engineering than in, e.g., semiconductor wires.

Experimental realization of a high Curie temperature CoFeRuSn quaternary Heusler alloy for spintronic applications
Creators: name: Kumar, Ravinder

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2023
Subjects: subject: Materials Science (cond-mat.mtrl-sci)

description: We synthesize CoFeRuSn equiatomic quaternary Heusler alloy using arc-melt technique and investigate its structural, magnetic and transport properties. The room temperature powder X-ray diffraction analysis reveals that CoFeRuSn crystallizes in cubic crystal structure with small amount of DO3 - disorder. The field dependence of magnetization shows non-zero but small hysteresis and saturation behavior up to room temperature, indicating soft ferromagnetic nature of CoFeRuSn. The magnetic moment estimated from the magnetization data is found to be 4.15 μB / f.u., which is slightly less than the expected Slater-Pauling rule. The deviation in the value of experimentally observed moment from the theoretical value might be due to small disorder in the crystal. The low temperature fit to electrical resistivity data show absence of quadratic temperature dependence of resistivity, suggesting half-metallic behavior of CoFeRuSn. The high Curie temperature and possible half-metallic behavior of CoFeRuSn make it a highly promising candidate for room temperature spintronic applications.

Resurgent Analysis of SU(2) Chern-Simons Partition Function on Brieskorn Spheres $Σ(2,3,6n+5)$

description: $\hat{Z}$-invariants, which can reconstruct the analytic continuation of the SU(2) Chern-Simons partition functions via Borel resummation, were discovered by GPV and have been conjectured to be a new homological invariant of 3-manifolds which can shed light onto the superconformal and topologically twisted index of 3d $\mathcal{N}=2$ theories proposed by GPPV. In particular, the resurgent analysis of $\hat{Z}$ has been fruitful in discovering analytic properties of the WRT invariants. The resurgent analysis of these $\hat{Z}$-invariants has been performed for the cases of $Σ(2,3,5),\ Σ(2,3,7)$ by GMP, $Σ(2,5,7)$ by Chun, and, more recently, some additional Seifert manifolds by Chung and Kucharski, independently. In this paper, we extend and generalize the resurgent analysis of $\hat{Z}$ on a family of Brieskorn homology spheres $Σ(2,3,6n+5)$ where $n\in\mathbb{Z}_+$ and $6n+5$ is a prime. By deriving $\hat{Z}$ for $Σ(2,3,6n+5)$ according to GPPV and Hikami, we provide a formula where one can quickly compute the non-perturbative contributions to the full analytic continuation of SU(2) Chern-Simons partition function.
