description: We investigate the valence $u$ and $\bar{s}$ quark distribution functions of the $K^+$ meson, $v^{K(u)}(x,Q^2)$ and $v^{K(\bar{s})}(x,Q^2)$, in the framework of the chiral constituent quark model. We judiciously choose the bare distributions at the initial scale to generate the dressed distributions at the higher scale, considering the meson cloud effects and the QCD evolution, which agree with the phenomenologically satisfactory valence quark distribution of the pion and the experimental data of the ratio $v^{K(u)}(x,Q^2)/v^{π(u)}(x,Q^2)$. We show how the meson cloud effects affect the bare distribution functions in detail. We find that a smaller $SU(3)$ flavor symmetry breaking effect is observed, compared with results of the preceding studies based on other approaches.

description: The production and freeze-out conditions of strange particles, produced in Au+Au collisions at RHIC energies, are studied within microscopic transport model. The system of final particles can be represented as a core, containing the particles which are still interacting with each other, and a halo, in which the particles have already decoupled from the system. In microscopic calculations hadrons are continuously emitted from the whole reaction volume. At RHIC, however, significant fractions of both mesons and baryons are emitted from the surface region within the first two fm/c. Different species decouple at different times. Strange mesons (kaons and $ϕ$) are frozen at earlier times and, therefore, can probe earlier stages of the reaction.

Lung Imaging with UTE MRI

description: Cross-sectional imaging of the lungs, or pulmonary imaging, has proven to be an incredibly valuable tool in a wide range of pulmonary diseases. The vast majority of lung imaging is done with CT, as it is fast enough to freeze respiratory motion and provides high spatial resolution to visualize fine structure of the lungs.
 MRI of the lungs is inherently challenging due to the presence of large local magnetic field gradients, relatively low proton density, and motion. The benefits of performing MRI for lung imaging include no ionizing radiation, opportunities for multiple contrasts, and integration with other MRI also offers the opportunity to obtain multiple tissue contrasts.
 The most common lung MRI techniques are structural T1-weighted scans, but also emerging are functional contrasts such as ventilation and perfusion, as well as other MRI contrast mechanisms including T2-weighting and diffusion-weighting. Finally, lung MRI can be combined with other MRI scanning techniques, including cardiac MRI, abdominal MRI, whole-body MRI, and PET/MRI, for increasing examination efficiency by only requiring a single scan session and providing more comprehensive assessment that includes evaluation of the pulmonary system.
 This article covers pulse sequences, motion management methods, image reconstruction, and contrast mechanisms of UTE MRI (e.g. T1-weighting, ventilation mapping) for imaging of the lung.

description: Recent studies indicate that extracellular mechanical properties, including rigidity, profoundly affect cellular morphology, growth, migration, and differentiation [R. J.

However, most studies involving rigidity sensing have been performed by comparing cells on separate substrata of fixed stiffness. To allow spatial and/or temporal manipulation of mechanical properties, we have developed a modulatable hydrogel by reacting linear polyacrylamide (PA) with a photosensitive crosslinker. This material allows UV-mediated control of rigidity, softening by 20-30% upon irradiation at a dose tolerated by live cells. Global UV irradiation induces an immediate recoiling of 3T3 fibroblasts and a reduced spread area at steady state. Furthermore, localized softening of the posterior substratum of polarized cells causes no apparent effect, while softening of the anterior substratum elicits pronounced retraction, indicating that rigidity sensing is localized to the frontal region. This type of material allows precise spatial and temporal control of mechanical signals for both basic research and regenerative medicine.

T2 Relaxation during Radiofrequency (RF) pulses

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2023
Subjects: subject: Medical Physics (physics.med-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Radiofrequency (RF) pulses are a critical part of every MRI pulse sequence, and must be specifically designed for ultrashort echo time (UTE) and zero echo time (ZTE) acquisitions. When considering the behavior of RF pulses, most often longitudinal T1 or transverse T2 relaxation is assumed to be negligible during the RF pulses themselves. This is usually valid with conventional sequences since most tissue T1s and T2s are much longer than typical RF pulse durations. However, when imaging tissues that have transverse relaxation times that are of the order of, or shorter than, the RF pulse duration, as is often the case with UTE and ZTE MRI, then relaxation during the pulse must be considered. This article covers the theory of T2/T2* relaxation during an RF pulse, and the implications and applications of this for imaging of ultrashort-T2* species.

description: High resolution spectroscopy of GRB 021004 revealed a wealth of absorption lines from several intermediate ionization species. The velocity structure of the absorber is complex and material with velocity up to >3000 km/s is observed. Since only the blueshifted component is observed, the absorber is very likely to be material closely surrounding the gamma-ray burst. We use a time-dependent photoionization code to track the abundance of the ions over time. Thanks to the presence of absorption from intermediate ionization states at long times, we can estimate the location and mass of the components of the absorber. We interpret those constraints within the hypernova scenario showing that the mass loss rate of the progenitor must have been ~10^{-4} solar masses per year, suggestive of a very massive star. In addition, the wind termination shock must lie at a distance of at least 100 pc, implying a low density environment. The velocity structure of the absorber also requires clumping of the wind at those large distances.

description: We present detailed observations of the shock waves emitted at the collapse of single cavitation bubbles using simultaneous time-resolved shadowgraphy and hydrophone pressure measurements. The geometry of the bubbles is systematically varied from spherical to very non-spherical by decreasing their distance to a free or rigid surface or by modulating the gravity-induced pressure gradient aboard parabolic flights. The non-spherical collapse produces multiple shocks that are clearly associated with different processes, such as the jet impact and the individual collapses of the distinct bubble segments. For bubbles collapsing near a free surface, the energy and timing of each shock are measured separately as a function of the anisotropy parameter $ζ$, which represents the dimensionless equivalent of the Kelvin impulse. For a given source of bubble deformation (free surface, rigid surface or gravity), the normalized shock energy depends only on $ζ$, irrespective of the bubble radius $R_{0}$ and driving pressure $Δp$. Based on this finding, we develop a predictive framework for the peak pressure and energy of shock waves from non-spherical bubble collapses. Combining statistical analysis of the experimental data with theoretical derivations, we find that the shock peak pressures can be estimated as jet impact-induced hammer pressures, expressed as $p_{h} = 0.45\left(ρc^{2}Δp\right)^{1/2} ζ^{-1}$ at $ζ> 10^{-3}$. The same approach is found to explain the shock energy quenching as a function of $ζ^{-2/3}$.

description: Let $K_k$, $C_k$, $T_k$, and $P_{k}$ denote a complete graph on $k$ vertices, a cycle on $k$ vertices, a tree on $k+1$ vertices, and a path on $k+1$ vertices, respectively. Let $K_{m}-H$ be the graph obtained from $K_{m}$ by removing the edges set $E(H)$ of the graph $H$ ($H$ is a subgraph of $K_{m}$). A sequence $S$ is potentially $K_{m}-H$-graphical if it has a realization containing a $K_{m}-H$ as a subgraph. Let $σ(K_{m}-H, n)$ denote the smallest degree sum such that every $n$-term graphical sequence $S$ with $σ(S)\geq σ(K_{m}-H, n)$ is potentially $K_{m}-H$-graphical. In this paper, we determine the values of $σ(K_{r+1}-H, n)$ for $n\geq 4r+10, r\geq 3, r+1 \geq k \geq 4$ where $H$ is a graph on $k$ vertices which contains a tree on 4 vertices but not contains a cycle on 3 vertices. We also determine the values of $σ(K_{r+1}-P_2, n)$ for $n\geq 4r+8, r\geq 3$. There are a number of graphs on $k$ vertices which containing a tree on 4 vertices but not containing a cycle on 3 vertices (for example, the cycle on $k$ vertices, the tree on $k$ vertices, and the complete 2-partite graph on $k$ vertices, etc).

description: In this paper, we consider the two dimensional flow of blood in a rectangular microfluidic channel. We use Mixture Theory to treat this problem as a two-component system: One component is the red blood cells (RBCs) modeled as a generalized Reiner-Rivlin type fluid, which considers the effects of volume fraction (hematocrit) and influence of shear rate upon viscosity. The other component, plasma, is assumed to behave as a linear viscous fluid. A CFD solver based on OpenFOAM(®) was developed and employed to simulate a specific problem, namely blood flow in a two dimensional micro-channel, is studied. Finally to better understand this two-component flow system and the effects of the different parameters, the equations are made dimensionless and a parametric study is performed.

description: L’articolo verte sul soggiorno a Napoli di Costantino Lascaris fra il 1465 e il 1466. Si analizza il documento di nomina di Lascaris a lettore di retorica greca presso lo Studio della città. Si fornisce anche la prima edizione della lettera che l’erudito bizantino indirizzò ai propri studenti, posta in apertura alla sua epitome del Peri staseôn di Ermogene di Tarso. Dal confronto fra i due testi emerge la valenza culturale dell’insegnamento di Lascaris, che andrà inquadrato nel contesto di una specifica versione del classicismo umanistico propria della Napoli aragonese.

The article focuses on the sojourn of Constantine Lascaris in Naples from 1465-1466. It analyses the document appointing Lascaris as lecturer in Greek rhetoric at the city’s Studium. The first edition of the letter that the Byzantine scholar addressed to his students, placed at the beginning of his epitome of Hermogenes of Tarsus’ Peri staseôn, is also provided. A comparison of the two texts reveals the cultural significance of Lascaris’ teaching, which is to be seen in the context of a specific version of humanistic classicism characteristic of Aragonese Naples.

description: The paper studies the physical-constraints-preserving (PCP) schemes for multi-dimensional special relativistic magnetohydrodynamics with a general equation of state (EOS) on more general meshes. It is an extension of the work [Math. Models Methods Appl. Sci., 27:1871-1928, 2017] which focuses on the ideal EOS and uniform Cartesian meshes. The general EOS without a special expression poses some additional difficulties in discussing the mathematical properties of admissible state set with the physical constraints on the fluid velocity, density and pressure. Rigorous analyses are provided for the PCP property of finite volume or discontinuous Galerkin schemes with the Lax-Friedrichs (LxF) type flux on a general mesh with non-self-intersecting polytopes. Those are built on a more general form of generalized LxF splitting property and a different convex decomposition technique. It is shown in theory that the PCP property is closely connected with a discrete divergence-free condition, which is proposed on the general mesh and milder than that in [Math. Models Methods Appl. Sci., 27:1871-1928, 2017].

Forward-Flux Sampling with Jumpy Order Parameters
Creators: name: Haji-Akbari, Amir
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Forward-flux sampling (FFS) is a path sampling technique that has gained increased popularity in recent years, and has been used to compute rates of rare event phenomena such as crystallization, condensation, hydrophobic evaporation, DNA hybridization and protein folding. The popularity of FFS is not only due to its ease of implementation, but also because it is not very sensitive to the particular choice of an order parameter. The order parameter utilized in conventional FFS, however, still needs to satisfy a stringent smoothness criterion in order to assure sequential crossing of FFS milestones. This condition is usually violated for order parameters utilized for describing aggregation phenomena such as crystallization. Here, we present a generalized FFS algorithm for which this smoothness criterion is no longer necessary, and apply it to compute homogeneous crystal nucleation rates in several systems. Our numerical tests reveal that conventional FFS can sometimes underestimate the nucleation rate by several orders of magnitude.

description: The persistent separability of certain quantum states, known as symmetric absolutely separable (SAS), under symmetry-preserving global unitary transformations is of key significance in the context of quantum resources for bosonic systems. In this work, we develop criteria for detecting SAS states of any number of qubits. Our approach is based on the Glauber-Sudarshan $P$ representation for finite-dimensional quantum systems. We introduce three families of SAS witnesses, one linear and two nonlinear in the eigenvalues of the state, formulated respectively as an algebraic inequality or a quadratic optimization problem. These witnesses are capable of identifying more SAS states than previously known counterparts. We also explore the geometric properties of the subsets of SAS states detected by our witnesses, shedding light on their distinctions.

description: The microquasar Cygnus X-3 was observed several times with the Gemini North Infrared Spectrograph while the source was in the hard X-ray state. We describe the observed 1.0-2.4 $μ$m spectra as arising from the stellar wind of the companion star and suggest its classification as a WN 4-6 Wolf-Rayet star. We attribute the orbital variations of the emission line profiles to the variations in the ionization structure of the stellar wind caused by the intense X-ray emission from the compact object. The strong variability observed in the line profiles will affect the mass function determination. We are unable to reproduce earlier results, from which the mass function for the Wolf-Rayet star was derived. Instead, we suggest that the system parameters are difficult to obtain from the infrared spectra. We find that the near-infrared continuum and the line spectra can be represented with non-LTE Wolf-Rayet atmosphere models if taking into account the effects arising from the peculiar ionization structure of the stellar wind in an approximative manner. From the representative models, we infer the properties of the Wolf-Rayet star and discuss possible mass ranges for the binary components.

description: BACKGROUND: Pulmonary hypertension and right ventricular failure are major contributors to morbidity and mortality in chronic lung disease. Therefore, large animal models of pulmonary hypertension and right ventricular hypertrophy are needed to study underlying disease mechanisms and test new treatment modalities. The objective of this study was to create a low-mortality model of chronic pulmonary hypertension and right ventricular hypertrophy in sheep. METHODS: The vena cavae of nine sheep weighing 62 ± 2 (SEM) kg were injected with 0.375 g of dextran beads (sephadex) every day for 60 d. Pulmonary hemodynamics were assessed via pulmonary artery catheterization prior to the first injection and again on d 14, 28, 35, 42, 49, and 56. At the end of the experiment, the heart was removed, dissected, and weighed to determine the ratio of right ventricular mass to left ventricle plus septal mass (RV:LV+S). RESULTS: All sheep survived to 60 d. The average pulmonary artery pressure rose from 17 ± 1 mmHg at baseline to 35 ± 3 mmHg on d 56 with no significant change in cardiac output (8.7 ± 0.7 to 9.8 ± 0.7 L/min, P = 0.89). The RV:LV+S was significantly higher (0.42 ± 0.01, P < 0.001) than a historic group of untreated normal animals (0.35 ± 0.01, n = 13). CONCLUSION: This study provides a low-mortality large animal model of moderate chronic pulmonary hypertension and right ventricular hypertrophy.

description: A search is conducted for new resonances decaying into a $WW$ or $WZ$ boson pair, where one $W$ boson decays leptonically and the other $W$ or $Z$ boson decays hadronically. It is based on proton-proton collision data with an integrated luminosity of 36.1 fb$^{-1}$ collected with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider at a centre-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV in 2015 and 2016. The search is sensitive to diboson resonance production via vector-boson fusion as well as quark-antiquark annihilation and gluon-gluon fusion mechanisms. No significant excess of events is observed with respect to the Standard Model backgrounds. Several benchmark models are used to interpret the results. Limits on the production cross section are set for a new narrow scalar resonance, a new heavy vector-boson and a spin-2 Kaluza-Klein graviton.

description: We study the brightness variations of galactic red supergiant stars using long-term visual light curves collected by the American Association of Variable Star Observers (AAVSO) over the last century. The full sample contains 48 red semiregular or irregular variable stars, with a mean time-span of observations of 61 years. We determine periods and period variability from analyses of power density spectra and time-frequency distributions. We find two significant periods in 18 stars. Most of these periods fall into two distinct groups, ranging from a few hundred to a few thousand days. Theoretical models imply fundamental, first and possibly second overtone mode pulsations for the shorter periods. Periods greater than 1000 days form a parallel period-luminosity relation that is similar to the Long Secondary Periods of the Asymptotic Giant Branch stars. A number of individual power spectra shows a single mode resolved into multiple peaks under a Lorentzian envelope, which we interpret as evidence for stochastic oscillations, presumably caused by the interplay of convection and pulsations. We find a strong 1/f noise component in the power spectra that is remarkably similar in almost all stars of the sample. This behaviour fits the picture of irregular photometric variability caused by large convection cells, analogous to the granulation background seen in the Sun.

description: This article considers the ways in which Japanese religions interact with the internet and other media. One might imagine that in this age of new technologies, advancing through a globalized culture, the relations between religions and the media would assume rather similar characteristics wherever you go. However, this is not always the case. For this reason, after noting various widely recognized features of “mediatized” religion worldwide, I present some key features of the Japanese scene in this regard, concentrating on the use of the internet in the communication of religious systems.
description: Dieser Aufsatz behandelt die Interaktionen von japanischen Religionen mit dem Internet und anderen Medien. Man könnte vielleicht erwarten, dass in einem Zeitalter neuer, durch die Globalisierung vorangetriebener Technologien, die Beziehungen zwischen Religionen und Medien in allen Teilen der Welt ähnliche Merkmale aufweisen würden. Dies ist jedoch nicht immer der Fall. Einführend werden einige allgemeine Aspekte mediatisierter Religion festgehalten, um vor diesem Hintergrund wichtige Merkmale der japanischen Szene in dieser Hinsicht vorzustellen. Der Einsatz des Internets in der nach Außen gerichteten Kommunikation religiöser Systeme wird besonders berücksichtigt.
Identifying Majorana Zero Modes in Vortex Lattices Using Fano Factor Tomography

description: In this work, we investigate the tunneling characteristics of Majorana zero modes (MZMs) in vortex lattices based on scanning tunneling microscopy measurement. We find that zero bias conductance does not reach the quantized value owing to the coupling between the MZMs. On the contrary, the Fano factor measured in the high voltage regime reflects the local particle-hole asymmetry of the bound states and is insensitive to the energy splitting between them. We propose using spatially resolved Fano factor tomography as a tool to identify the existence of MZMs. In both cases of isolated MZM or MZMs forming bands, there is a spatially resolved Fano factor plateau at one in the vicinity of a vortex core, regardless of the tunneling parameter details, which is in stark contrast to other trivial bound states. These results reveal new tunneling properties of MZMs in vortex lattices and provide measurement tools for topological quantum devices.

description: Transportation-based metrics for comparing images have long been applied to analyze images, especially where one can interpret the pixel intensities (or derived quantities) as a distribution of 'mass' that can be transported without strict geometric constraints. Here we describe a new transportation-based framework for analyzing sets of images. More specifically, we describe a new transportation-related distance between pairs of images, which we denote as linear optimal transportation (LOT). The LOT can be used directly on pixel intensities, and is based on a linearized version of the Kantorovich-Wasserstein metric (an optimal transportation distance, as is the earth mover's distance). The new framework is especially well suited for computing all pairwise distances for a large database of images efficiently, and thus it can be used for pattern recognition in sets of images. In addition, the new LOT framework also allows for an isometric linear embedding, greatly facilitating the ability to visualize discriminant information in different classes of images. We demonstrate the application of the framework to several tasks such as discriminating nuclear chromatin patterns in cancer cells, decoding differences in facial expressions, galaxy morphologies, as well as sub cellular protein distributions.
Relativistic effects in the processes of heavy quark fragmentation

description: In the framework based on the quasipotential method and relativistic quark model a new covariant expression for the heavy quark fragmentation amplitude to fragment into the pseudoscalar and vector S-wave heavy mesons is obtained. It contains all possible relativistic corrections including the terms connected with the transformation law of the bound state wave function to the reference frame of the moving meson. Relativistic corrections of order {\bf p}^2/m^2 to the heavy quark fragmentation distributions into (\bar c c), (\bar b c) and (\bar b b) states are calculated as functions of the longitudinal momentum fraction z and the transverse momentum p_T relative to the jet axis.

description: The purpose of this paper, first delivered in Japanese in 2018, is to consider how scholarly or academic studies of Buddhism can have relevance to practical life. Can Buddhist Studies Japanese: bukkyōgaku) “be real”– to quote the phrase which now symbolizes Otani University in Kyoto? Similar questions apply in the case of Christian Studies, Muslim Studies, Tenrikyō Studies, and so on. If practical issues are the guiding interest, can the research itself be at the same time independent and academic? Special reference is made here to The Eastern Buddhist, a journal founded in 1921 by a small group of scholars led by Suzuki Daisetsu. (The present writer served as General Editor of this journal for several years, retiring in 2019.)

description: The quasi-elastic scattering of muon neutrino and electrons on a carbon target are analyzed using the relativistic distorted-wave impulse approximation (RDWIA). We also evaluate the contribution of the two-particle and two-hole meson exchange current ($2p-2h$ MEC) to electroweak response functions. The nuclear model dependence of the (anti)neutrino cross sections is studied within the RDWIA+MEC approach and RDWIA model with the large nucleon axial mass. It is shown that the results for the squared momentum transfer distribution $dσ/dQ^2$ and for invariant mass of the final hadronic system distribution $dσ/dW$ obtained within these models are substantially different.

description: My mother's aunt was one of half a dozen children but was the only one who had children. Her husband, H. A. Murray from Llanybydder, Carmarthenshire, fought in North Africa. The family received a telegram saying he had been taken as a POW by the Italians. He was transported to a POW camp in Italy. He was put on a prison ship to be taken back to Italy, but the next news they got was that the ship had been torpedoed by the British, so he was lost in 1945.

description: A new cosmological scenario driven by a slow rolling homogeneous scalar field whose exponential potential $V(Φ)$ has a quadratic dependence on the field $Φ$ in addition to the standard linear term is discussed. The derived equation of state for the field predicts a transient accelerating phase, in which the Universe was decelerated in the past, began to accelerate at redshift $z \sim 1$, is currently accelerated, but, finally, will return to a decelerating phase in the future. This overall dynamic behavior is profoundly different from the standard $Λ$CDM evolution, and may alliviate some conflicts in reconciling the idea of a dark energy-dominated universe with observables in String/M-theory. The theoretical predictions for the present transient scalar field plus dark matter dominated stage are confronted with cosmological observations in order to test the viability of the scenario.

description: General relativity has been very successful since its proposal more a century ago. However, various cosmological observations and theoretical consistency still motivate us to explore extended gravity theories. Horndeski gravity stands out as one attractive theory by introducing only one scalar field. Here we formulate the post-Newtonian effective field theory of Horndeski gravity and investigate the conservative dynamics of the inspiral compact binary systems. We calculate the leading effective Lagrangian for a compact binary and obtain the periastron advance per period. In particular, we apply our analytical calculation to two binary systems, PSR B 1534+12 and PSR J0737-3039, and constrain the relevant model parameters. The theoretical framework can also be extended to higher order systematically.

description: We describe the additive structure of the graded ring $\widetilde{M}_*$ of quasimodular forms over any discrete and cocompact group $Γ\subset \rm{PSL}(2, \RM).$ We show that this ring is never finitely generated. We calculate the exact number of new generators in each weight $k$. This number is constant for $k$ sufficiently large and equals $\dim_{\CM}(I / I \cap \widetilde{I}^2),$ where $I$ and $\widetilde{I}$ are the ideals of modular forms and quasimodular forms, respectively, of positive weight. We show that $\widetilde{M}_*$ is contained in some finitely generated ring $\widetilde{R}_*$ of meromorphic quasimodular forms with $\dim \widetilde{R}_k = O(k^2),$ i.e. the same order of growth as $\widetilde{M}_*.$
