description: We measured for the first time the electron density in an Extreme Ultra-Violet induced plasma. This is achieved in a low-pressure argon plasma by using a method called microwave cavity resonance spectroscopy. The measured electron density just after the EUV pulse is $2.6\cdot10^{16}$ m$^{-3}$. This is in good agreement with a theoretical prediction from photo ionization, which yields a density of $4.5\cdot10^{16}$ m$^{-3}$. After the EUV pulse the density slightly increase due to electron impact ionization. The plasma (i.e. electron density) decays in tens of microseconds.

description: The ‘necessity–concerns framework’ postulates that patients’ adherence behaviour is influenced by beliefs about the necessity and the concerns patients have regarding their prescribed medicines. We hypothesized that depression moderates the associations between beliefs about medicines and medication adherence among people with rheumatoid arthritis. Using multivariate logistic regression, we observed that people experiencing more depressive symptoms showed stronger associations between necessity beliefs and adherence as well as attenuated associations between concerns and adherence, respectively, in a cross-sectional sample (N = 361). Thus, depression moderates the associations postulated in the ‘necessity–concerns framework’ in a differential way in people with rheumatoid arthritis.

Entropy rate of random walks on complex networks under stochastic resetting

description: Stochastic processes under resetting at random times have attracted a lot of attention in recent years and served as illustrations of nontrivial and interesting static and dynamic features of stochastic dynamics. In this paper, we aim to address how the entropy rate is affected by stochastic resetting in discrete-time Markovian processes, and explore nontrivial effects of the resetting in the mixing properties of a stochastic process. In particular, we consider resetting random walks on complex networks and compute the entropy rate as a function of the resetting probability. Interestingly, we find that the entropy rate can show a nonmonotonic dependence on the resetting probability. There exists an optimal resetting probability for which the entropy rate reaches a maximum. We also show that the maximum entropy rate can be larger than that of the maximal-entropy random walks on the same topology. Our study provides a new nontrivial effect of stochastic resetting on nonequilibrium statistical physics.

description: The bias energies of various two-level systems (TLSs) and their strengths of interactions with the strain are calculated for Ar:N$_2$ glass. Unlike the case in KBr:CN, a distinct class of TLSs having weak interaction with the strain and untypically small bias energies is not found. The addition of CO molecules introduces CO flips which form such a class of weakly interacting TLSs, albeit at much lower coupling than are typically observed in solids. We conclude that because of the absence of a distinct class of weakly interacting TLSs, Ar:N$_2$ is a non-universal glass, the first such system in three dimensions and in ambient pressure. Our results further suggest that Ar:N$_2$:CO may show universal properties, but at temperatures lower than $\approx 0.1$ K, much smaller than typical temperature $\approx 3$ K associated with universality, because of the untypical softness of this system. Our results thus shed light on two long standing questions regarding low temperature properties of glasses: the necessary and sufficient conditions for quantitative universality of phonon attenuation, and what dictates the energy scale of $\approx 3$ K below which universality it typically observed.

description: We investigate inhomogeneous chiral condensation under rotation considering finite size effects and boundary conditions in the holographic QCD model. The rotational suppression effect determined by $Ωr$ is confirmed in the holographic model which is not influenced by the boundary conditions. For chiral condensation at the center, it is found that under Neumann boundary condition the finite size exhibits two opposite effects, i.e., catalysis at high temperatures and inverse catalysis at low temperatures. In contrast, under Dirichlet boundary condition, the effect of finite size on condensation is inverse catalysis, and small size induces a phase transition from inhomogeneous to homogeneous phase. The temperature-angular velocity phase diagrams of QCD are obtained for different boundary conditions and sizes, and it is found that the critical temperature decreases with angular velocity.

description: BACKGROUND: Cognitive impairment is reported as a common complication in adult tuberculous meningitis (TBM), yet few studies have systematically assessed the frequency and nature of impairment. Moreover, the impact of impairment on functioning and medication adherence is not described. METHODS: A cognitive test battery (10 measures assessing 7 cognitive domains) was administered to 34 participants with HIV-associated TBM 6 months post-diagnosis. Cognitive performance was compared to a comparator group of 66 people living with HIV (PLWH) without a history of TB. A secondary comparison was made between TBM cases and 26 participants with HIV 6-months post diagnosis of TB outside the central nervous system (CNS). Impact on functioning was evaluated, including through assessment of medication adherence. RESULTS: In TBM, 16/34 (47%) of participants had low performance on cognitive testing. Cognition was impaired across all domains. Global cognitive performance was significantly lower in TBM cases compared to PLWH (mean T-score 41 vs 48, p < 0.001). TBM cases also had lower global cognition compared to those with non-CNS TB (mean global T score 41 vs 46, p = 0.016). Functional outcomes did not significantly correlate with cognitive performance in the sub-group of participants where this was assessed (n = 19). CONCLUSIONS: Low cognitive performance following HIV-associated TBM is common. This effect is independent of, and additional to, effects of HIV and non-CNS TB disease. Further studies are needed to understand longer term outcomes, clarify the association with treatment adherence, a key predictor of outcome in TBM, and develop context-specific tools to identify individuals with cognitive difficulties to improve outcomes in TBM.

description: Statistical systems on random networks can be formulated in terms of partition functions expressed with integrals by regarding Feynman diagrams as random networks. We consider the cases of random networks with bounded but generic degrees of vertices, and show that the free energies can be exactly evaluated in the thermodynamic limit by the Laplace method, and that the exact expressions can in principle be obtained by solving polynomial equations for mean fields. As demonstrations, we apply our method to the ferromagnetic Ising models on random networks. The free energy of the ferromagnetic Ising model on random networks with trivalent vertices is shown to exactly reproduce that of the ferromagnetic Ising model on the Bethe lattice. We also consider the cases with heterogeneity with mixtures of orders of vertices, and derive the known formula of the Curie temperature.

description: The effective field theory (EFT) of cosmological perturbations is a useful framework to deal with the low-energy degrees of freedom present for inflation and dark energy. We review the EFT for modified gravitational theories by starting from the most general action in unitary gauge that involves the lapse function and the three-dimensional geometric scalar quantities appearing in the Arnowitt-Deser-Misner (ADM) formalism. Expanding the action up to quadratic order in the perturbations and imposing conditions for the elimination of spatial derivatives higher than second order, we obtain the Lagrangian of curvature perturbations and gravitational waves with a single scalar degree of freedom. The resulting second-order Lagrangian is exploited for computing the scalar and tensor power spectra generated during inflation. We also show that the most general scalar-tensor theory with second-order equations of motion-Horndeski theory-belongs to the action of our general EFT framework and that the background equations of motion in Horndeski theory can be conveniently expressed in terms of three EFT parameters. Finally we study the equations of matter density perturbations and the effective gravitational coupling for dark energy models based on Horndeski theory, to confront the models with the observations of large-scale structures and weak lensing.

Gaussian approximations for stochastic systems with delay: chemical Langevin equation and application to a Brusselator system

Year: 2013
Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)

description: We present a heuristic derivation of Gaussian approximations for stochastic chemical reaction systems with distributed delay. In particular we derive the corresponding chemical Langevin equation. Due to the non-Markovian character of the underlying dynamics these equations are integro-differential equations, and the noise in the Gaussian approximation is coloured. Following on from the chemical Langevin equation a further reduction leads to the linear-noise approximation. We apply the formalism to a delay variant of the celebrated Brusselator model, and show how it can be used to characterise noise-driven quasi-cycles, as well as noise-triggered spiking. We find surprisingly intricate dependence of the typical frequency of quasi-cycles on the delay period.

description: We propose a model for the electric current in graphene in which electric carriers are supplied by virtual particles allowed by the uncertainty relations. The process to make a virtual particle real is described by a weak value of a group velocity: the velocity is requisite for the electric field to give the virtual particle the appropriate changes of both energy and momentum. With the weak value, we approximately estimate the electric current, considering the ballistic transport of the electric carriers. The current shows the quasi-Ohimic with the minimal conductivity of the order of e^2/h per channel. Crossing a certain ballistic time scale, it is brought to obey the Schwinger mechanism.

description: Anaerobic processes (e.g., methanogenesis and fermentation) largely contribute to element cycling and natural contaminant attenuation/mobilization, even in well-oxygenated porous environments, such as shallow aquifers. This paradox is commonly explained by the occurrence of small-scale anoxic microenvironments generated by the coupling of bacterial respiration and the heterogeneous oxygen (O2) transport by porewater. Such microenvironments allow facultatively and obligately anaerobic bacteria to proliferate in oxic environments. Microenvironment dynamics are still poorly understood due to the challenge of directly observing biomass and O2 distributions at the microscale within an opaque sediment and soil matrix. To overcome these limitations, we integrated a microfluidic device with transparent O2 planar optical sensors to measure the temporal behavior of dissolved O2 concentrations and biomass distributions with time-lapse video-microscopy. Our results reveal that bacterial colony morphology, which is highly variable in flowing porous systems, controls the formation of anoxic microenvironments. We rationalize our observations through a colony-scale Damkohler number comparing dissolved O2 diffusion and bacterial O2 uptake rate. Our Damkholer number enables predicting the pore space occupied by anoxic microenvironments in our system, and, given the bacterial organization, it can be applied to 3D porous systems.

In the weakly coupled regime, we cross-check our results to the respective maximum known orders of perturbation theory in these models and predict higher order terms for future comparisons with other computational methods. In the strongly coupled regime, we match our results to the predictions of the large-charge effective field theory which can be compared to future Monte Carlo and lattice studies.

description: Unveiling meaningful geophysical information from seismic data requires to deal with both random and structured "noises". As their amplitude may be greater than signals of interest (primaries), additional prior information is especially important in performing efficient signal separation. We address here the problem of multiple reflections, caused by wave-field bouncing between layers. Since only approximate models of these phenomena are available, we propose a flexible framework for time-varying adaptive filtering of seismic signals, using sparse representations, based on inaccurate templates. We recast the joint estimation of adaptive filters and primaries in a new convex variational formulation. This approach allows us to incorporate plausible knowledge about noise statistics, data sparsity and slow filter variation in parsimony-promoting wavelet frames. The designed primal-dual algorithm solves a constrained minimization problem that alleviates standard regularization issues in finding hyperparameters. The approach demonstrates significantly good performance in low signal-to-noise ratio conditions, both for simulated and real field seismic data.
An Analysis of the Feasibility of Using Fertility Control to Manage New Jersey Black Bear Populations

description: This report gives the results of a comprehensive evaluation of the biological feasibility, probable effectiveness and economic practicality of using fertility control agents to control New Jersey's black bear population.  The conclusion reached were that immunocontraception, using a pZP (porcine zona pellucida), adminstered to females, has the best potential to control reproduction.  However, owing to the difficulty of capture, lower density and the variable and wide-ranging nature of bear movements, managing bear population using fertility control will be much more difficult and costly than than in other wildlife species, and very unlikely to be feasible.

description: It is well-known that gauging a finite 0-form symmetry in a quantum field theory leads to a dual symmetry generated by topological Wilson line defects. These are described by the representations of the 0-form symmetry group which form a 1-category. We argue that for a d-dimensional quantum field theory the full set of dual symmetries one obtains is in fact much larger and is described by a (d-1)-category, which is formed out of lower-dimensional topological quantum field theories with the same 0-form symmetry. We study in detail a 2-categorical piece of this (d-1)-category described by 2d topological quantum field theories with 0-form symmetry. We further show that the objects of this 2-category are the recently discussed 2d condensation defects constructed from higher-gauging of Wilson lines. Similarly, dual symmetries obtained by gauging any higher-form or higher-group symmetry also form a (d-1)-category formed out of lower-dimensional topological quantum field theories with that higher-form or higher-group symmetry. A particularly interesting case is that of the 2-category of dual symmetries associated to gauging of finite 2-group symmetries, as it describes non-invertible symmetries arising from gauging 0-form symmetries that act on (d-3)-form symmetries. Such non-invertible symmetries were studied recently in the literature via other methods, and our results not only agree with previous results, but our approach also provides a much simpler way of computing various properties of these non-invertible symmetries. We describe how our results can be applied to compute non-invertible symmetries of various classes of gauge theories with continuous disconnected gauge groups in various spacetime dimensions. We also discuss the 2-category formed by 2d condensation defects in any arbitrary quantum field theory.

description: This report presents the results of a study to investigate the feasibility of utility-scale wind energy development in the waters offshore of New Jersey. The only viable opportunities for significant large-scale wind development in NJ are considered to be offshore where the wind resources are much stronger and where certain land use conflicts can be avoided. The study focus area stretches from Sandy Hook to Egg Island Point in the Delaware Bay, extending 20 miles from shore. The goal of the feasibility study is to characterize the siting considerations (including various geophysical, environmental, regulatory, and commercial parameters) that offshore wind energy development will have to address if it is seriously pursued in NJ. The study's approach relies on existing data sources about NJ's coastal and offshore resources and on documented experiences and characteristics of offshore wind energy technology. This study also compares the relative viability of wind energy development among different portions of the study area. Associated development and logistical issues are discussed, including interconnection to the existing transmission system on land, legal and jurisdictional issues associated with the likely permitting process, the availability of ports for construction and maintenance vessels, and project economics.

description: Vibrational spectra of condensed and gas-phase systems containing light nuclei are influenced by their quantum-mechanical behaviour. The quantum dynamics of light nuclei can be approximated by the imaginary time path integral (PI) formulation, but still at a large computational cost that increases sharply with decreasing temperature. By leveraging advances in machine-learned coarse-graining, we develop a PI method with the reduced computational cost of a classical simulation. We also propose a simple temperature elevation scheme to significantly attenuate the artefacts of standard PI approaches and also eliminate the unfavourable temperature scaling of the computational cost.We illustrate the approach, by calculating vibrational spectra using standard models of water molecules and bulk water, demonstrating significant computational savings and dramatically improved accuracy compared to more expensive reference approaches. We believe that our simple, efficient and accurate method could enable routine calculations of vibrational spectra including nuclear quantum effects for a wide range of molecular systems.

description: Using the UltraVISTA catalogs, we investigate the evolution in the 11.4~Gyr since $z=3$ of the progenitors of local ultra-massive galaxies ($\log{(M_{\rm star}/M_{\odot})}\approx11.8$; UMGs), providing a complete and consistent picture of how the most massive galaxies at $z=0$ have assembled. By selecting the progenitors with a semi-empirical approach using abundance matching, we infer a growth in stellar mass of 0.56$^{+0.35}_{-0.25}$ dex, 0.45$^{+0.16}_{-0.20}$~dex, and 0.27$^{+0.08}_{-0.12}$ dex from $z=3$, $z=2$, and $z=1$, respectively, to $z=0$. At $z<1$, the progenitors of UMGs constitute a homogeneous population of only quiescent galaxies with old stellar populations. At $z>1$, the contribution from star-forming galaxies progressively increases, with the progenitors at $21$, whereas the remaining was assembled via merging from $z\sim 1$ to the present. Most of the quenching of the star-forming progenitors happened between $z=2.75$ and $z=1.25$, in good agreement with the typical formation redshift and scatter in age of $z=0$ UMGs as derived from their fossil records. The progenitors of local UMGs, including the star-forming ones, never lived on the blue cloud since $z=3$. We propose an alternative path for the formation of local UMGs that refines previously proposed pictures and that is fully consistent with our findings.

description: We derive new diffusion solutions to the monoenergetic generalized linear Boltzmann transport equation (GLBE) for the stationary collision density and scalar flux about an isotropic point source in an infinite $d$-dimensional absorbing medium with isotropic scattering. We consider both classical transport theory with exponentially-distributed free paths in arbitrary dimensions as well as a number of non-classical transport theories (non-exponential random flights) that describe a broader class of transport processes within partially-correlated random media. New rigorous asymptotic diffusion approximations are derived where possible. We also generalize Grosjean's moment-preserving approach of separating the first (or uncollided) distribution from the collided portion and approximating only the latter using diffusion. We find that for any spatial dimension and for many free-path distributions Grosjean's approach produces compact, analytic approximations that are, overall, more accurate for high absorption and for small source-detector separations than either $P_1$ diffusion or rigorous asymptotic diffusion. These diffusion-based approximations are exact in the first two even spatial moments, which we derive explicitly for various non-classical transport types. We also discuss connections between the random-flight-theory derivation of the Green's function and the discrete spectrum of the transport operator and report some new observations regarding the discrete eigenvalues of the transport operator for general dimensions and free-path distributions.

description: Recent years brought an increasing interest in the application of machine learning algorithms in e-commerce, omnichannel marketing, and the sales industry. It is not only to the algorithmic advances but also to data availability, representing transactions, users, and background product information. Finding products related in different ways, i.e., substitutes and complements is essential for users' recommendations at the vendor's site and for the vendor - to perform efficient assortment optimization. The paper introduces a novel method for finding products' substitutes and complements based on the graph embedding Cleora algorithm. We also provide its experimental evaluation with regards to the state-of-the-art Shopper algorithm, studying the relevance of recommendations with surveys from industry experts. It is concluded that the new approach presented here offers suitable choices of recommended products, requiring a minimal amount of additional information. The algorithm can be used in various enterprises, effectively identifying substitute and complementary product options.

description: Azimuthal emission patterns of $K^\pm$ mesons have been measured in Ni + Ni collisions with the FOPI spectrometer at a beam kinetic energy of 1.91 A GeV. The transverse momentum $p_{T}$ integrated directed and elliptic flow of $K^{+}$ and $K^{-}$ mesons as well as the centrality dependence of $p_{T}$ - differential directed flow of $K^{+}$ mesons are compared to the predictions of HSD and IQMD transport models. The data exhibits different propagation patterns of $K^{+}$ and $K^{-}$ mesons in the compressed and heated nuclear medium and favor the existence of a kaon-nucleon in-medium potential, repulsive for $K^{+}$ mesons and attractive for $K^{-}$ mesons.

Year: 2004

description: New Jersey has a rich native flora which includes more than 2,100 kinds of native plants, a number that is comparable to states that are three to four times greater in size. These include some of our nation's rarest plant species, some of which are found nowhere else on the planet. New Jersey and its rich floral diversity should be a source of pride to all its citizens. However, the Garden State's natural habitats are now suffering from an onslaught of nonindigenous plant species introduced from all parts of the globe. More than one thousand nonindigenous plant species have become established in New Jersey. Some of these species cause harm by crowding out native species, contributing to species extinctions, altering the structure of natural plant communities, disrupting ecosystem functions, and degrading recreational opportunities. Harmful invasive plants are despoiling many of our open spaces including preserves such as Island Beach State Park, Rancocas State Park, and the Black River Natural Area. Invasive species are now recognized as a threat to the health of biodiversity throughout the nation and the resulting ecological damage is costing millions of dollars in economic losses. This report provides background on the numbers and origins of nonindigenous species in New Jersey, discusses problems caused by harmful invasive species, describes current state and federal programs, and examines methods of control and prevention. Fact sheets on 27 of the most problematic invasive species have been developed to help guide management and control initiatives.
