Chemical capacitance proposed for manganite-based ceramics

Subjects: subject: Materials Science (cond-mat.mtrl-sci)

description: The measured value of effective electric permittivity \varepsilon_{eff} of several compounds, e.g., (BiNa)(MnNb)O_{3}, (BiPb)(MnNb)O_{3}, and BiMnO_{3} increases from a value \approx 10-100 at the low temperature range (100-300 K) up to the high value reaching the value 10^5 at high temperature range, e.g., 500-800 K. Such features suggest the manifestation of thermally activated space charge carriers, which effect the measured capacitance. The measured high-value effective permittivity of several manganite compounds can be ascribed to the chemical capacitance C_μ=e^2\partial N_{i}/\partial μ_{i} expressed in terms of the chemical potential μ. The chemical capacitance C_μ^{(cb)} = e^2 n_{C}/k_{B}T depends on temperature when the conduction electrons with density n_{C} = N_{C} \exp(μ_{n}- E_{C})/k_{B}T are considered. The experimental results obtained for the manganite compounds, at high temperature range, are discussed in the framework of the chemical capacitance model. However, the measured capacitance dependence on geometrical factors is analysed for BiMnO_{3} indicating that the non-homogeneous electrostatic capacitor model is valid in 300-500 K range.

description: Measurements of temperature gradient and excess pore pressure in the surficial sediment of a fault block basin in the Guatemala Basin correlate with sediment thickness. The temperature gradient is smaller and the excess pore pressure gradient is more negative in areas of thinner sediment. This correlation is explained by postulating downward pore water advection within the sediments, with flow velocities on the order of 10−9 to 10−8 m/s in the thinnest sediments and much less flow in the thickest sediments. Sediment physical properties and pore water chemistry also support this interpretation. Since the conductive heat flow of the basin as a whole is less than one third that predicted by sea floor spreading models, the oceanic basement may be the site of a vigorous hydrothermal circulation system. The pore water advection in the sediments may be driven by this larger scale circulation.

description: After a brief introduction into the asteroseismic modelling of stars, we provide a compilation of the current seismic estimates of the core overshooting parameter and of the rotational frequency of single and binary massive stars. These important stellar parameters have meanwhile become available for eleven OB-type stars, among which three spectroscopic pulsating binaries and one magnetic pulsator. We highlight the potential of ongoing and future analyses of eclipsing binary pulsators as essential laboraties to test stellar structure and evolution models of single and binary stars.

description: In this paper, we study the relationship between certain stochastic and deterministic versions of Hanski's incidence function model and the spatially realistic Levins model. We show that the stochastic version can be well approximated in a certain sense by the deterministic version when the number of habitat patches is large, provided that the presence or absence of individuals in a given patch is influenced by a large number of other patches. Explicit bounds on the deviation between the stochastic and deterministic models are given.

description: We study the dynamics of atoms in optical traps when exposed to laser cooling light that induces light-assisted collisions. We experimentally prepare individual atom pairs and observe their evolution. Due to the simplicity of the system (just two atoms in a microtrap) we can directly simulate the pair's dynamics, thereby revealing detailed insight into it. We find that often only one of the collision partners gets expelled, similar to when using blue detuned light for inducing the collisions. This enhances schemes for using light-assisted collisions to prepare individual atoms and affects other applications as well.

description: Recently, the issue of adversarial robustness in the time series domain has garnered significant attention. However, the available defense mechanisms remain limited, with adversarial training being the predominant approach, though it does not provide theoretical guarantees. Randomized Smoothing has emerged as a standout method due to its ability to certify a provable lower bound on robustness radius under $\ell_p$-ball attacks. Recognizing its success, research in the time series domain has started focusing on these aspects. However, existing research predominantly focuses on time series forecasting, or under the non-$\ell_p$ robustness in statistic feature augmentation for time series classification~(TSC). Our review found that Randomized Smoothing performs modestly in TSC, struggling to provide effective assurances on datasets with poor robustness. Therefore, we propose a self-ensemble method to enhance the lower bound of the probability confidence of predicted labels by reducing the variance of classification margins, thereby certifying a larger radius. This approach also addresses the computational overhead issue of Deep Ensemble~(DE) while remaining competitive and, in some cases, outperforming it in terms of robustness. Both theoretical analysis and experimental results validate the effectiveness of our method, demonstrating superior performance in robustness testing compared to baseline approaches.

Evidence for excess pore pressures in southwest Indian Ocean sediments

description: Brown clay cores from the Madagascar and Crozet basins show the following evidence of excess pore pressures: large amounts of flow-in, increasing average sedimentation rate with age, and nonlinear temperature gradients. Additionally, many hilltops in these basins have no visible sediment cover. The bare hilltops may result from periodic slumping caused by excess pore pressures. Calculated excess pore pressures which equal or exceed the overburden pressure were inferred from water fluxes predicted by nonlinear temperature gradients and laboratory permeability measurements by using Darcy's law. Since pore pressures which exceed the overburden pressure are unreasonable, we attribute this discrepancy to laboratory measurements which underestimate the in situ permeability. The widespread presence of overpressured sediments in areas of irregular topography provides a process for resuspension of clay-sized particles. This mechanism does not require high current velocities for the erosion of clay and therefore can be applied to many areas where no strong currents are evident. Carbonate-rich sediments from the Madagascar Ridge, the Mozambique Ridge, and the Agulhas Plateau had almost no flow-in and occurred in areas where all topography was thickly draped with sediment. Since the age and tectonic location of the ridges and plateaus preclude water circulation in the basement, we attribute these differences between the brown clay and the carbonate-rich material to an absence of significant excess pore pressures in the plateau and ridge sediments.
The case for super-critical accretion onto massive black holes at high redshift

description: Short-lived intermittent phases of super-critical (super-Eddington) growth, coupled with star formation via positive feedback, may account for early growth of massive black holes (MBH) and coevolution with their host spheroids. We estimate the possible growth rates and duty cycles of these episodes, both assuming slim accretion disk solutions, and adopting the results of recent numerical simulations. The angular momentum of gas joining the accretion disk determines the length of the accretion episodes, and the final mass a MBH can reach. The latter can be related to the gas velocity dispersion, and in galaxies with low-angular momentum gas the MBH can get to a higher mass. When the host galaxy is able to sustain inflow rates at 1-100 msunyr, replenishing and circulation lead to a sequence of short (~1e4-1e7 years), heavily obscured accretion episodes that increase the growth rates, with respect to an Eddington-limited case, by several orders of magnitude. Our model predicts that the ratio of MBH accretion rate to star formation rate is 1e2 or higher, leading, at early epochs, to a ratio of MBH to stellar mass higher than the "canonical" value of ~1e-3, in agreement with current observations. Our model makes specific predictions that long-lived super-critical accretion occurs only in galaxies with copious low-angular momentum gas, and in this case the MBH is more massive at fixed velocity dispersion.

description: Over the course of a scientific career, a large fraction of the data collected by scientific investigators turns into data at risk of becoming inaccessible to future science. Although a part of the investigators’ data is made available in manuscripts and databases, other data may remain unpublished, non-digital, on degrading or near obsolete digital media, or inadequately documented for reuse. In 2013, Integrated Earth Data Applications (IEDA) provided data rescue mini-awards to three Earth science investigators. IEDA’s user communities in geochemistry, petrology, geochronology, and marine geophysics collect long-tail data, defined as data produced by individuals and small teams for specific projects, tending to be of small volume and initially for use only by these teams, thus being less likely to be easily transferred or reused. Long-tail data are at greater risk of omission from the scientific record. The awarded projects topics were (1) Geochemical and Geochronological data on volcanic rocks from the Fiji, Izu-Bonin-Mariana arc, and Endeavor segments of the global mid-ocean ridge, (2) High-Resolution, Near-bottom Magnetic Field Data, and (3) Geochemistry of Lunar Glasses. IEDA worked closely with the awardees to create a plan for the data rescue, resulting in the registration of hundreds of samples and the entry of dozens of data and documentation files into IEDA data systems. The data were made openly accessible and citable by assigning persistent identifiers for samples and files. The mini-award program proved that a relatively small incentive combined with data facility guidance can motivate investigators to accomplish significant data rescue.

description: The saturation of the magnetorotational (MRI) instability in thin Keplerian disks through three wave resonant interactions is introduced and discussed. That mechanism is a natural generalization of the fundamental decay instability discovered five decades ago for infinite, homogeneous and immovable plasmas. The decay instability relies on the energy transfer from the MRI to stable slow Alfv'en-Coriolis (AC) as well as magnetosonic (MS) waves. A second order forced Duffing amplitude equation for the initially unstable MRI as well as two first order equations for the other two waves are derived. The solutions of those equations exhibit bounded bursty nonlinear oscillations for the MRI as well as unbounded growth for the linearly stable slow AC and MS perturbations, thus giving rise to the magneto-rotational decay instability (MRDI).

description: People seeking asylum in Ireland are accommodated in the Direct Provision (DP) system. Dehumanising policies and poor living conditions within DP exacerbate social exclusion of displaced people. Community responses to DP include community solidarity initiatives (CSIs) that aim to build solidarity among displaced people and resident/nationals through intergroup contact. Collaborative intergroup contact is associated with positive outcomes; however, intergroup power asymmetries produce different experiences of contact. Additionally, the relationship between intergroup contact and solidarity is complex and influenced by relative group status and contextual factors. I investigated experiences and outcomes of contact in CSIs for resident/nationals and displaced people through a pluralist, multi-method programme of three studies: 1) interviews with (n =17) resident/national and displaced participants of one CSI, 2) Photovoice and interviews (n=18) with resident/national and displaced stakeholders of four CSIs, and 3) a quasi-experimental investigation (n = 199) of the relationships among CSI participation, cross-group friendship, collective action intentions, and intergroup attitudes. This research employs the social identity approach, social representations theory, and theories of contact and social change within an ecological framework. Findings demonstrated the role of power asymmetries in shaping participants’ experiences and outcomes of contact. CSIs facilitated recognition of valued collective identities and shared identification, and cross-group friendship mobilised resident/nationals’ intentions to act in solidarity with displaced people. Together, these findings make important contributions to research on intergroup contact, solidarity, and migrant justice and have practical relevance to researchers, practitioners and policy makers who aim to build solidarity with people on the move and support social change towards equity.

description: El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is a major source of global interannual variability, but its response to climate change is uncertain. Paleoclimate records from the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) provide insight into ENSO behavior when global boundary conditions (ice sheet extent, atmospheric partial pressure of CO2) were different from those today. In this work, we reconstruct LGM temperature variability at equatorial Pacific sites using measurements of individual planktonic foraminifera shells. A deep equatorial thermocline altered the dynamics in the eastern equatorial cold tongue, resulting in reduced ENSO variability during the LGM compared to the Late Holocene. These results suggest that ENSO was not tied directly to the east-west temperature gradient, as previously suggested. Rather, the thermocline of the eastern equatorial Pacific played a decisive role in the ENSO response to LGM climate.

description: Based on Hubble Space Telescope observations from the Local Cosmology from Isolated Dwarfs project, we present the star formation histories, as a function of galactocentric radius, of four isolated Local Group dwarf galaxies: two dSph galaxies, Cetus and Tucana, and two transition galaxies (dTrs), LGS-3 and Phoenix. The oldest stellar populations of the dSphs and dTrs are, within the uncertainties, coeval ($\sim 13 Gyr$) at all galactocentric radii. We find that there are no significative differences between the four galaxies in the fundamental properties (such as the normalized star formation rate or age-metallicity relation) of their outer regions (radii greater than four exponential scale lengths); at large radii, these galaxies consist exclusively of old ($\geq 10.5 Gyr$) metal-poor stars. The duration of star formation in the inner regions vary from galaxy to galaxy, and the extended central star formation in the dTrs produces the dichotomy between dSph and dTr galaxy types. The dTr galaxies show prominent radial stellar population gradients: the centers of these galaxies host young ($\leq 1 Gyr$) populations while the age of the last formation event increases smoothly with increasing radius. This contrasts with the two dSph galaxies. Tucana shows a similar, but milder, gradient, but no gradient in age is detected Cetus. For the three galaxies with significant stellar population gradients, the exponential scale length decreases with time. These results are in agreement with outside-in scenarios of dwarf galaxy evolution, in which a quenching of the star formation toward the center occurs as the galaxy runs out of gas in the outskirts.

description: We study inequalities for the infima of Green potentials on a compact subset of an arbitrary domain in the complex plane. The results are based on a new representation of the pseudohyperbolic farthest-point distance function via a Green potential. We also give applications to sharp inequalities for the supremum norms of Blaschke products.

description: {\it Ab initio} density functional theory calculations are performed to investigate the electronic structure of MoS$_2$ armchair nanoribbons in the presence of an external static electric field. Such nanoribbons, which are nonmagnetic and semiconducting, exhibit a set of weakly interacting edge states whose energy position determines the band-gap of the system. We show that, by applying an external transverse electric field, $E_\mathrm{ext}$, the nanoribbons band-gap can be significantly reduced, leading to a metal-insulator transition beyond a certain critical value. Moreover, the presence of a sufficiently high density of states at the Fermi level in the vicinity of the metal-insulator transition leads to the onset of Stoner ferromagnetism that can be modulated, and even extinguished, by $E_\mathrm{ext}$. In the case of bi-layer nanoribbons we further show that the band-gap can be changed from indirect to direct by applying a transverse field, an effect which might be of significance for opto-electronics applications.

description: Community-supported open source projects such as Hydra, Fedora and Blacklight create opportunities for collective advancement and strategic support and sustainability for essential digital library infrastructure. Commitment to and participation in the development of stable platforms, however, opens and strengthens partnerships for libraries and their collaborators. Reciprocally, partnerships built on such platforms expand the range of potential use cases and feed back neatly into the community development model. The Center for Digital Research and Scholarship (CDRS) at Columbia University Libraries has been developing project-based partnerships with allied groups in the broader landscape of scholarly communication that draw upon the organizational commitments to contribute to the growth and proliferation of these platforms. CDRS and its partners attained two related project milestones in 2015: (1) The Modern Language Association and CDRS completed an NEH-funded pilot project (HumCORE) to couple digital research repository technology and service infrastructure with a society-supported disciplinary-focused community hub for scholars; (2) In partnership with the Columbia University Press, the Columbia Libraries refreshed the search and discovery interface for the Columbia International Affairs Online (CIAO) database. The presenters will explore the rationale that led to the development of these projects and the infrastructure choices made to support them. The presenters will also explore the hoped-for impacts and effects of such projects as they may inform use case development for the open source projects themselves.

description: We propose a dynamical (quintessence) model of dark energy in the current universe with a renormalizable (Higgs-like) scalar potential. We prove the viability of our model (after fine tuning) for the certain range of the average scalar curvature values, and study the cosmological signatures distinguishing our model from the standard description of dark energy in terms of a cosmological constant.

description: A considerable fraction of the Earth's organic carbon exists in dissolved form in seawater. To investigate the roles of planktonic marine microbes in the biogeochemical cycling of this dissolved organic matter (DOM), we performed controlled seawater incubation experiments and followed the responses of an oligotrophic surface water microbial assemblage to perturbations with DOM derived from an axenic culture of Prochlorococcus, or high-molecular weight DOM concentrated from nearby surface waters. The rapid transcriptional responses of both Prochlorococcus and Pelagibacter populations suggested the utilization of organic nitrogen compounds common to both DOM treatments. Along with these responses, both populations demonstrated decreases in gene transcripts associated with nitrogen stress, including those involved in ammonium acquisition. In contrast, responses from low abundance organisms of the NOR5/OM60 gammaproteobacteria were observed later in the experiment, and included elevated levels of gene transcripts associated with polysaccharide uptake and oxidation. In total, these results suggest that numerically dominant oligotrophic microbes rapidly acquire nitrogen from commonly available organic sources, and also point to an important role for carbohydrates found within the DOM pool for sustaining the less abundant microorganisms in these oligotrophic systems.
title: Heaven and Imagination
Creators: name: Allen, Timothy M.
Publisher: name: University of St Andrews

description: The doctrine of heaven has come under considerable contestation in contemporary Christian theology, especially noticeably so within influential Protestant strands. This thesis argues that the theological imagining of heaven can be enriched by theological reflection on popular forms of art (with a particular, although not exclusive, focus on popular film). It shows how certain works of popular art not only keep alive dormant aspects of Christian doctrine, but also challenge contemporary assumptions regarding heaven. Part one (chapters 1-3) lays the ground for theologically engaging popular culture. It establishes a theory of revelation that underscores the importance of the Holy Spirit’s continuing action in popular culture, as well as offering a critique of particular perspectives in contemporary New Testament studies. By taking seriously the hermeneutical context for the reception of revelation throughout history, the thesis argues that it is of critical importance to take the wider culture seriously in theological construction. Part two focuses on an imaginative approach to three areas of personal identity in a post-mortem existence: appearance in relation to identity recognition in heaven (chapter 4); memory of earthly experiences (chapter 5); and bodily continuity/discontinuity and fulfillment as it pertains to imagining resurrection bodies (chapter 6). In this way, these chapters seek to offer new perspectives on, and distinctive contributions to, three areas of eschatology that have long standing trajectories within theological and philosophical studies in Western culture. Chapter 7 includes an analysis of popular films that attempt to imagine a post-apocalyptic vision of creation after the end. The lack of contemporary films that imagine an earth-bound eschatology, it argues, is theologically significant and, indeed, a compelling reason to re-emphasize the other-worldliness of heaven. The conclusion highlights some of the main contributions of the thesis; it also seeks to indicate some of the implications of this research and methodology for future studies.

description: We are interested in understanding the neural correlates of attentional processes using first principles. Here we apply a recently developed first principles approach that uses transmitted information in bits per joule to quantify the energy efficiency of information transmission for an inter-spike-interval (ISI) code that can be modulated by means of the synchrony in the presynaptic population. We simulate a single compartment conductance-based model neuron driven by excitatory and inhibitory spikes from a presynaptic population, where the rate and synchrony in the presynaptic excitatory population may vary independently from the average rate. We find that for a fixed input rate, the ISI distribution of the post synaptic neuron depends on the level of synchrony and is well-described by a Gamma distribution for synchrony levels less than 50%. For levels of synchrony between 15% and 50% (restricted for technical reasons), we compute the optimum input distribution that maximizes the mutual information per unit energy. This optimum distribution shows that an increased level of synchrony, as it has been reported experimentally in attention-demanding conditions, reduces the mode of the input distribution and the excitability threshold of post synaptic neuron. This facilitates a more energy efficient neuronal communication.

Magnetic properties of a long, thin-walled ferromagnetic nanotube

description: We consider magnetic properties of a long, thin-walled ferromagnetic nanotube. We assume that the tube consists of isotropic homogeneous magnet whose spins interact via the exchange energy, the dipole-dipole interaction energy, and also interact with an external field via Zeeman energy. Possible stable states are the parallel state with the magnetization along the axis of the tube, and the vortex state with the magnetization along azimuthal direction. For a given material, which of them has lower energy depends on the value γ=R^2d/(L λ_x^2), where R is the radius of the tube, d is its thickness, L is its length and λ_x is an intrinsic scale of length characterizing the ration of exchange and dipolar interaction. At γ<1 the parallel state wins, otherwise the vortex state is stable. A domain wall in the middle of the tube is always energy unfavorable, but it can exist as a metastable structure. Near the ends of a tube magnetized parallel to the axis a half-domain structure transforming gradually the parallel magnetization to a vortex just at the edge of the tube is energy favorable. We also consider the equilibrium magnetization textures in an external magnetic field either parallel or perpendicular to the tube. Finally, magnetic fields produced by a nanotube and an array of tubes is analyzed.

description: Variability of hydrographic conditions and primary and secondary productivity between cold and warm climatic regimes in the Bering Sea has been the subject of much study in recent years, while interannual variability within a single regime and across multiple trophic levels has been less well-documented. Measurements from an instrumented mooring on the southeastern shelf of the Bering Sea were analyzed for the spring-to-summer transitions within the cold regime years of 2009–2012 to investigate the interannual variability of hydrographic conditions, primary producer biomass, and acoustically-derived secondary producer and consumer abundance and community structure. Hydrographic conditions in 2012 were significantly different than in 2009, 2010, and 2011, driven largely by increased ice extent and thickness, later ice retreat, and earlier stratification of the water column. Primary producer biomass was more tightly coupled to hydrographic conditions in 2012 than in 2009 or 2011, and shallow and mid-column phytoplankton blooms tended to occur independent of one another. There was a high degree of variability in the relationships between different classes of secondary producers and hydrographic conditions, evidence of significant intra-consumer interactions, and trade-offs between different consumer size classes in each year. Phytoplankton blooms stimulated different populations of secondary producers in each year, and summer consumer populations appeared to determine dominant populations in the subsequent spring. Overall, primary producers and secondary producers were more tightly coupled to each other and to hydrographic conditions in the coldest year compared to the warmer years. The highly variable nature of the interactions between the atmospherically-driven hydrographic environment, primary and secondary producers, and within food webs underscores the need to revisit how climatic regimes within the Bering Sea are defined and predicted to function given changing climate scenarios.
