description: We present a multi-epoch spectral and timing analysis of the isolated neutron star RBS1223. New XMM-Newton data obtained in January 2004 confirm the spin period to be twice as long as previously thought, P_spin = 10.31 s. The combined ROSAT, Chandra, XMM-Newton data (6 epochs) give, contrary to earlier findings, no clear indication of a spin evolution of the neutron star. The X-ray light curves are double-humped with pronounced hardness ratio variations suggesting an inhomogeneous surface temperature with two spots separated by about ~160 degr. The sharpness of the two humps suggests a mildly relativistic star with a ratio between R_ns, the neutron star radius at source, and r_S, the Schwarzschild-radius, of R_ns/r_S > 3.5. Assuming Planckian energy distributions as local radiation sources, light curves were synthesized which were found to be in overall qualitative agreement with observed light curves in two different energy bands. The temperature distribution used was based on the crustal field models by Geppert et al. (2004) for a central temperature of T_c = 10^8 K and an external dipolar field of B ~ 10^{13} G. This gives a mean atmospheric temperature of 55 eV. A much simpler model with two homogeneous spots with T_\infty = 92 eV, and 84 eV, and a cold rest star, T_star,\infty < 45 eV, invisible at X-ray wavelengths, was found to be similarly successful. The new temperature determination and the new dot(P)_{spin} suggest that the star is older than previously thought, T \simeq 10^(5..6) yrs. The model-dependent distance to RBS1223 is estimated between 76 pc and 380 pc (for R_ns = 12 km).

Wavefunction structure in quantum many-fermion systems with $k$-body interactions: conditional $q$-normal form of strength functions

description: For finite quantum many-particle systems modeled with say $m$ fermions in $N$ single particle states and interacting with $k$-body interactions ($k \leq m$), the wavefunction structure is studied using random matrix theory. Hamiltonian for the system is chosen to be $H=H_0(t) + λV(k)$ with the unperturbed $H_0(t)$ Hamiltonian being a $t$-body operator and $V(k)$ a $k$-body operator with interaction strength $λ$. Representing $H_0(t)$ and $V(k)$ by independent Gaussian orthogonal ensembles (GOE) of random matrices in $t$ and $k$ fermion spaces respectively, first four moments, in $m$-fermion spaces, of the strength functions $F_κ(E)$ are derived; strength functions contain all the information about wavefunction structure. With $E$ denoting the $H$ energies or eigenvalues and $κ$ denoting unperturbed basis states with energy $E_κ$, the $F_κ(E)$ give the spreading of the $κ$ states over the eigenstates $E$. It is shown that the first four moments of $F_κ(E)$ are essentially same as that of the conditional $q$-normal distribution given in: P.J. Szabowski, Electronic Journal of Probability {\bf 15}, 1296 (2010). This naturally gives asymmetry in $F_κ(E)$ with respect to $E$ as $E_κ$ increases and also the peak value changes with $E_κ$. Thus, the wavefunction structure in quantum many-fermion systems with $k$-body interactions follows in general the conditional $q$-normal distribution.

Contaminant transport through abandoned boreholes in fractured rock
Creators: name: Burns, Sean Raymond Patrick
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Abandoned exploration boreholes are commonly found around mine sites in a fractured crystalline rock environment. If the abandoned boreholes have not been properly decommissioned they have the potential to create connections through the rock fractures and influence ground water flow and contaminant transport. A fully three-dimensional discrete fracture model is used to investigate the impact of abandoned boreholes on contaminant transport from a waste-rock pile overlying a fractured rock mass. Dissolved contaminants travel through the fractured rock mass under the influence of a subhorizontal regional hydraulic gradient towards a downstream compliance boundary. A number of different fracture geometries are investigated to gain an understanding of the field situations in which abandoned boreholes can be expected to have an impact. The effect of fracture density, transmissivity contrasts, and borehole diameter and location are studied. The simulation results show that vertical abandoned boreholes are most likely to have an impact when large, sub-horizontal, high-transmissivity features are present in the network. Low fracture density, aperture variability, relatively high horizontal transmissivity, and the presence of major features in the fracture network all lead to abandoned boreholes having a greater overall influence. If an abandoned borehole is transversely offset from the central flow line passing through the source zone the contaminant plume can migrate towards the borehole in a direction not predicted by the average regional hydraulic gradient. In field-scale fracture networks smaller borehole diameters leads to shorter breakthrough times and higher contaminant concentrations at the downstream boundary due to the interplay between the fracture network and borehole void space. The presence of abandoned boreholes can be expected to have important implications in the design of monitoring networks to detect ground water contamination when these fracture network and abandoned borehole properties exist.

description: We study frequency-dependent current noise through a single-level quantum dot connected to ferromagnetic leads with non-collinear magnetization. We propose to use the frequency-dependent Fano factor as a tool to detect single-spin dynamics in the quantum dot. Spin precession due to an external magnetic and/or a many-body exchange field affects the Fano factor of the system in two ways. First, the tendency towards spin-selective bunching of the transmitted electrons is suppressed, which gives rise to a reduction of the low-frequency noise. Second, the noise spectrum displays a resonance at the Larmor frequency, whose lineshape depends on the relative angle of the leads' magnetizations.

description: Neural activity patterns related to behavior occur at many scales in time and space from the atomic and molecular to the whole brain. Here we explore the feasibility of interpreting neurophysiological data in the context of many-body physics by using tools that physicists have devised to analyze comparable hierarchies in other fields of science. We focus on a mesoscopic level that offers a multi-step pathway between the microscopic functions of neurons and the macroscopic functions of brain systems revealed by hemodynamic imaging. We use electroencephalographic (EEG) records collected from high-density electrode arrays fixed on the epidural surfaces of primary sensory and limbic areas in rabbits and cats trained to discriminate conditioned stimuli (CS) in the various modalities. High temporal resolution of EEG signals with the Hilbert transform gives evidence for diverse intermittent spatial patterns of amplitude (AM) and phase modulations (PM) of carrier waves that repeatedly re-synchronize in the beta and gamma ranges at near zero time lags over long distances. The dominant mechanism for neural interactions by axodendritic synaptic transmission should impose distance-dependent delays on the EEG oscillations owing to finite propagation velocities. It does not. EEGs instead show evidence for anomalous dispersion: the existence in neural populations of a low velocity range of information and energy transfers, and a high velocity range of the spread of phase transitions. This distinction labels the phenomenon but does not explain it. In this report we explore the analysis of these phenomena using concepts of energy dissipation, the maintenance by cortex of multiple ground states corresponding to AM patterns, and the exclusive selection by spontaneous breakdown of symmetry (SBS) of single states in sequences.

description: We use analytic bootstrap techniques for a CFT with an interface or a boundary. Exploiting the analytic structure of the bulk and boundary conformal blocks we extract the CFT data. We further constrain the CFT data by applying the equation of motion to the boundary operator expansion. The method presented in this paper is general, and it is illustrated in the context of perturbative Wilson-Fisher theories. In particular, we find constraints on the OPE coefficients for the conformal interface CFT in $4 - ε$ dimensions (upto order $\mathcal{O}(ε^2)$) with $ϕ^4$-interactions in the bulk. We also compute the corresponding coefficients for the non-unitary $ϕ^3$-theory in $6 - ε$ dimensions in the presence of a conformal boundary equipped with either Dirichlet or Neumann boundary conditions upto order $\mathcal{O}(ε)$, or an interface upto order $\mathcal{O}(\sqrtε)$.

description: Cosmological models often contain scalar fields, which can acquire global nonzero expectation values that change with the comoving time. Among the possible consequences of these scalar-field backgrounds, an accelerated cosmological expansion, varying couplings, and spacetime-symmetry violations have recently received considerable attention. This talk studies the interplay of these three key signatures of cosmologically varying scalars within a supergravity framework.

description: We study Fermi transitions and isospin mixing in an isotopic chain 70-78 Kr considering various approximations that use the same Skyrme-Hartree-Fock single particle basis. We study Coulomb effects as well as the effect of BCS and quasiparticle random phase approximation (QRPA) correlations. A measure of isospin mixing in the approximate ground state is defined by means of the expectation value of the isospin operator squared in N=Z nuclei (which is generalized to N different from Z nuclei). Starting from strict Hartree-Fock approach without Coulomb, it is shown that the isospin breaking is negligible, on the order of a few per thousand for (N-Z)=6, increasing to a few percent with Coulomb. Pairing correlations induce rather large isospin mixing and Fermi transitions of the forbidden type (beta- for NZ). The enhancement produced by BCS correlations is compensated to a large extent by QRPA correlations induced by isospin conserving residual interactions that tend to restore isospin symmetry.

description: Arched magnetized structures are a common occurrence in space and laboratory plasmas. Results from a laboratory experiment on spatio-temporal evolution of an arched magnetized plasma ($β\approx 10^{-3}$, Lundquist number $\approx 10^{4}$, plasma radius/ion gyroradius $\approx 20$) in a sheared magnetic configuration are presented. The experiment is designed to model conditions relevant to the formation and destabilization of similar structures in the solar atmosphere. The magnitude of a nearly horizontal overlying magnetic field was varied to study its effects on the writhe and twist of the arched plasma. In addition, the direction of guiding magnetic field was varied to investigate its role in formation of either forward- or reverse-S shaped plasma structures. The electrical current in the arched plasma was well below the current required to make it kink unstable. A significant increase in the writhe of the arched plasma was observed with larger magnitudes of overlying magnetic field. Forward-S shaped arched plasma was observed for a guiding magnetic field oriented nearly anti-parallel to the initial arched plasma current, while the parallel orientation yielded the reverse-S shaped arched plasma.

Pressure-induced amorphization, crystal-crystal transformations and the memory glass effect in interacting particles in two dimensions

description: We study a model of interacting particles in two dimensions to address the relation between crystal-crystal transformations and pressure-induced amorphization. On increasing pressure at very low temperature, our model undergoes a martensitic crystal-crystal transformation. The characteristics of the resulting polycrystalline structure depend on defect density, compression rate, and nucleation and growth barriers. We find two different limiting cases. In one of them the martensite crystals, once nucleated, grow easily perpendicularly to the invariant interface, and the final structure contains large crystals of the different martensite variants. Upon decompression almost every atom returns to its original position, and the original crystal is fully recovered. In the second limiting case, after nucleation the growth of martensite crystals is inhibited by energetic barriers. The final morphology in this case is that of a polycrystal with a very small crystal size. This may be taken to be amorphous if we have only access (as experimentally may be the case) to the angularly averaged structure factor. However, this `X-ray amorphous' material is anisotropic, and this shows up upon decompression, when it recovers the original crystalline structure with an orientation correlated with the one it had prior to compression. The memory effect of this X-ray amorphous material is a natural consequence of the memory effect associated to the underlying martensitic transformation. We suggest that this kind of mechanism is present in many of the experimental observations of the memory glass effect, in which a crystal with the original orientation is recovered from an apparently amorphous sample when pressure is released.

description: We consider the model of strongly-correlated system of electrons described by an extended Falicov-Kimball Hamiltonian where the stability of some axial and diagonal striped phases was proved. Introducing a next-nearest-neighbor hopping, small enough not to destroy the striped structure, we examine rigorously how the presence of the next-nearest-neighbor hopping anisotropy reduces the $π/2$-rotation degeneracy of the diagonal-striped phase. The effect appears to be similar to that in the case of anisotropy of the nearest-neighbor hopping: the stripes are oriented in the direction of the weaker next-nearest-neighbor hopping.

description: The general aim of the recommender system is to provide personalized suggestions to users, which is opposed to suggesting popular items. However, the normal training paradigm, i.e., fitting a recommender model to recover the user behavior data with pointwise or pairwise loss, makes the model biased towards popular items. This results in the terrible Matthew effect, making popular items be more frequently recommended and become even more popular. Existing work addresses this issue with Inverse Propensity Weighting (IPW), which decreases the impact of popular items on the training and increases the impact of long-tail items. Although theoretically sound, IPW methods are highly sensitive to the weighting strategy, which is notoriously difficult to tune. In this work, we explore the popularity bias issue from a novel and fundamental perspective -- cause-effect. We identify that popularity bias lies in the direct effect from the item node to the ranking score, such that an item's intrinsic property is the cause of mistakenly assigning it a higher ranking score. To eliminate popularity bias, it is essential to answer the counterfactual question that what the ranking score would be if the model only uses item property. To this end, we formulate a causal graph to describe the important cause-effect relations in the recommendation process. During training, we perform multi-task learning to achieve the contribution of each cause; during testing, we perform counterfactual inference to remove the effect of item popularity. Remarkably, our solution amends the learning process of recommendation which is agnostic to a wide range of models -- it can be easily implemented in existing methods. We demonstrate it on Matrix Factorization (MF) and LightGCN [20]. Experiments on five real-world datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of our method.

description: Breathing is an essential rhythmic motor behaviour that must continue throughout life and adjust to continuously changing metabolic demands. The respiratory rhythm is produced by central pattern generator circuits in the brainstem and relayed to respiratory muscles by motoneurons (MNs), including phrenic MNs in the cervical spinal cord that innervate the diaphragm. Rhythmic contractions of the diaphragm facilitate pulmonary ventilation, enabling oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange. While the main synaptic drive to phrenic MNs derives from bulbospinal pathways, cervical spinal interneurons (INs) are suggested to modulate phrenic MN output and contribute to compensatory neuroplasticity post-spinal cord injury (SCI). However, the mechanisms by which specific INs shape phrenic MN activity in normal conditions and post-SCI remain poorly understood. This thesis investigates the anatomical connectivity and functional roles of cholinergic V0c INs within the phrenic respiratory network. Moreover, using the unilateral C2 hemisection (C2Hx) injury model, it explores neuroplastic changes that may occur in V0c INs post-SCI. We found that V0c INs are anatomically and functionally connected to phrenic MNs, via C-bouton synapses. Blocking M2 receptors, which mediate synaptic transmission at the C-bouton, within the cervical spinal cord reduced the amplitude of respiratory-related activity recorded from C3/C4 ventral roots of in-vitro brainstem-spinal cord preparations, suggesting modulation of phrenic MN output by endogenous cholinergic signalling, presumably V0c-derived. Preliminary data from in-vivo terminal diaphragm electromyography in a mouse model lacking V0c INs suggest they play a role in augmenting phrenic MN output and diaphragm contraction in response to hypercapnia. Finally, we found that C-bouton number is unchanged at 7 days and 4 weeks post-C2Hx, indicating that this system is spared by the lesion. This thesis represents the first in-depth assessment of the role of V0c INs in modulating breathing in physiological conditions and begins to explore their potential contribution to functional recovery post-SCI.

2) the ways through which the RAI docu-series (re)connects fandom with the aged sports celebrities and the collective memory of the Scudetto victory (1991);
3) the analysis of storylines and sequences through which the docu-series elaborates a kind of reflexive mediatization (or meta-mediatization), recounting the role of news media and communication technologies within the series’ storytelling.

description: In this work we revisit the growth of small primordial black holes (PBHs) immersed in a quintessential field and/or radiation to the supermassive black hole (SMBHs) scale. We show the difficulties of scenarios in which such huge growth is possible. For that purpose we evaluated analytical solutions of the differential equations (describing mass evolution) and point out the strong fine tuning for that conclusions. The timescale for growth in a model with a constant quintessence flux is calculated and we show that it is much bigger than the Hubble time.The fractional gain of the mass is further evaluated in other forms, including quintessence and/or radiation. We calculate the cosmological density $Ω$ due to quintessence necessary to grow BHs to the supermassive range and show it to be much bigger than one. We also describe the set of complete equations analyzing the evolution of the BH+quintessence universe, showing some interesting effects such the quenching of the BH mass growth due to the evolution of the background energy. Additional constraints obtained by using the Holographic Bound are also described. The general equilibrium conditions for evaporating/accreting black holes evolving in a quintessence/radiation universe are discussed in the Appendix.

As a corollary, we prove the formula for the BCOV invariant of quintic mirror threefolds conjectured by Bershadsky-Cecotti-Ooguri-Vafa.

description: Thermoelectric modules are a promising approach to energy harvesting and efficient cooling. In addition to the longitudinal Seebeck effect, recently transverse devices utilizing the anomalous Nernst effect (ANE) have attracted interest. For high conversion efficiency, it is required that the material should have a large ANE thermoelectric power and low electrical resistance, the product of which is the ANE conductivity. ANE is usually explained in terms of intrinsic contributions from Berry curvature. Our observations suggest that extrinsic contributions also matter. Studying single-crystal MnBi, we find a very high ANE thermopower (~10 $μ$V/K) under 0.6 T at 80 K, and a transverse thermoelectric conductivity of over 40 A/Km. With insight from theoretical calculations, we attribute this large ANE predominantly to a new advective magnon contribution arising from magnon-electron spin-angular momentum transfer. We propose that introducing large spin-orbit coupling into ferromagnetic materials may enhance the ANE through the extrinsic contribution of magnons.

description: High-temperature superconductivity (HTS) of cuprates represents a challenge to the conventional theory. Here I review a multi-polaron approach to the problem based on our extension of the BCS theory to the strong-coupling regime. Since there is almost no retardation (i.e. no Tolmachev-Morel-Anderson logarithm) reducing the Coulomb repulsion, e-ph interactions should be relatively strong to overcome the direct Coulomb repulsion, so carriers must be polaronic to form pairs in novel superconductors. I identify the Froehlich electron-phonon interaction as the most essential for pairing in superconducting cuprates, and discuss the "Froehlich-Coulomb" model of HTS, low-energy structures, and the phase diagram of cuprates. "Individual" versus Cooper pairing, normal state properties, in particular in-plane resistivity, the Hall effect, magnetic susceptibility, the Lorenz number, the Nernst effect, diamagnetism, spin and charge pseudogaps, and c-axis transport are also discussed. I present a parameter-free evaluation of Tc, an explanation of isotope effects, specific heat anomalies, upper critical fields, symmetries and space modulations of the order parameter. Finally I introduce a model of overdoped cuprates as mixtures of mobile bipolarons and degenerate lattice polarons.

description: La breve nota autobiografica con cui Paolo Jedlowski introduce il testo Storie comuni. La narrazione nella vita quotidiana (2022) prelude aprioristicamente alla funzione preminentemente umana e sociale della narrazione, se è vero che “la facoltà di narrare è, per quanto ne sappiamo, una costante umana”. V’è infatti un’urgenza narrativa intimamente connessa alla capacità che questa possiede di organizzare l’esperienza umana (Bruner, 1990): “Ho inteso chiarire come la nostra capacità di tradurre l’esperienza in termini narrativi non sia soltanto un gioco infantile, quanto piuttosto uno strumento di creazione di significato che domina gran parte della vita nell’ambito della cultura”. Esiste, per Jerome Bruner una capacità originaria del linguaggio, e dunque propria dell’atto stesso del narrare, di “accedere al significato”, ossia di accedere a rappresentazioni protolinguistiche del mondo mediante le quali diviene possibile per il bambino interpretare contesti o situazioni aventi natura sociale.

description: This study develops a generic conceptual approach to modeling the livestock sector that provides better coverage of variables to ensure the consistency in the underlying biologics of the model and also provides consistent rules of specification. This approach is applied to modeling the swine-pork sector of Japan and then used to analyze the impact of removing Japan's gate price policy and variable levy for pork imports. The new approach departs significantly from existing models. For consistency in the biologics of the model both live animals and meat components of the sector are fully covered. The structure clearly differentiates stock and flow variables and investment and production decisions. A standard rule of specification is established that only flow variables that correspond to the actual decisions faced by producers and consumers are specified with a behavioral equation, while stock variables are derived from changes in the relevant flow variables using an accounting identity. The flow variables are expressed in rates rather than levels and specified with logistic functions to automatically impose biological-technological constraints. Swine slaughter number and weight are disaggregated into sow and barrow-gilt. Market-clearing price is endogenously solved. The estimated 12-equation Japanese swine-pork model has good fit as shown by high R2, no serial correlation with Durbin-Watson (DW) statistics approaching 2, significant coefficients, correct signs, and reasonable magnitudes. All validation statistics from a within-sample simulation of the model suggest that the model with enriched structural specification is also able to capture both the mean and variability of all endogenous variables. Except for swine death (2.3 percent) and pork stock (-1.9 percent) which are subject to unexpected technical and policy shocks, all other endogenous variables had mean percentage errors (MPE) of less than one percent. Prediction errors are mostly from random sources. Except for pork stock (5.3 percent), the share of bias for all other endogenous variables is less than 3 percent. Finally, the model was also used to analyze the "No Gate Price Policy Scenario." The model generated expected changes both in terms of direction and magnitude that are within reported range from earlier studies. Specifically, imports increased significantly but were mostly absorbed into pork stocks to cushion its impact on domestic prices.

description: Purpose: An increasing number of autistic students are pursuing higher education to enhance career opportunities, achieve personal growth, and increase independence. Nonetheless, many encounter difficulties in transitioning to and thriving in this environment, despite the support offered by universities. Here, we review the preliminary data from a social communication course embedded within a university-level postsecondary transition program designed to support academic success and retention for first-year autistic college students.Method: Using a group pretest, posttest design, we employ quantitative evaluations and retention data of 17 autistic students enrolled within the Summer Transition Program for Autism to Promote Retention and Training (START) program to determine the effectiveness of a social communication course for autistic first-year college students.Results: Autistic students enrolled in the social communication course demonstrated a significant reduction in self-reported Restricted and Repetitive Behaviors as measured by the Social Responsiveness Scale–Second Edition at posttest and increased communicative competence in “Meetings” on the Self-Perceived Commutative Competence scale. Sixteen out of 17 START students successfully completed the full academic year and expressed intent to return to the university the following year (retention rate = 94%).Conclusion: The current study provides preliminary evidence that a social communication course may be an effective method to support social communication and well-being of first-year autistic students enrolled in university.Supplemental Material S1.

Quantitative in situ measurement of optical force along a strand of cleaved silica optical fiber induced by the light guided therewithin

description: We proposed an optomechanical system to quantify the net force on a strand of cleaved silica optical fiber in situ as the laser light was being guided through it. Four strands of the fiber were bond to both sides of a macroscopic oscillator, whose movements were accurately monitored by a Michelson interferometer. The laser light was propagating with variable optical powers and frequency modulations. Experimentally, we discovered that the driving force for the oscillator consisted of not only the optical force of the light exiting from the cleaved facets but also the tension along the fiber induced by the light guided therewithin. The net driving force was determined only by the optical power, refractive index of the fiber, and the speed of light, which pinpoints its fundamental origin.

description: This paper, through the use of an ecological and transmedia approach, proposes an interpretation of the processes of fruition and interaction of complex seriality products generated and distributed on streaming platforms. In particular, it proposes to analyze the platformed worldbuilding process, that is, how affordances contribute decisively to the creation of a storyworld; to this end, the conceptualization of three transmedial narrative levels was carried out: diegetic, extradiegetic and hyperdiegetic. The paper proposes the animated television series BoJack Horseman (Netflix, 2014-2019) as a case study; in particular, a descriptive analysis of individual episodes and content on social media accounts was conducted. From this it emerges how narrative and distribution strategies are activated that contribute to the Netflix-centered Platform Seriality Worldbuilding process, i.e., through the use of transmedia hooks, also generated by users’ interpretive skills, the Netflix Serial Multiverse is developed.

description: We study compact spaces which are obtained from metric compacta by iterating the operation of inverse limit of continuous sequences of retractions. We denote this class by R. Allowing continuous images in the definition of class R, one obtains a strictly larger class, which we denote by RC. We show that every space in class RC is either Corson compact or else contains a copy of the ordinal segment $[0,ω_1]$. This improves a result of Kalenda, where the same was proved for the class of continuous images of Valdivia compacta. We prove that spaces in class R do not contain cutting P-points (see the definition below), which provides a tool for finding spaces in RC minus R. Finally, we study linearly ordered spaces in class RC. We prove that scattered linearly ordered compacta belong to RC and we characterize those ones which belong to R. We show that there are only 5 types (up to order isomorphism) of connected linearly ordered spaces in class R and all of them are Valdivia compact. Finally, we find a universal pre-image for the class of all linearly ordered Valdivia compacta.
