subject: FOS: Civil engineering

description: Dielectric elastomers (DEs) are a promising material for use in robotic, biomedical, energy, aerospace and automotive technologies. However, currently available DEs are limited by weak electromechanical coupling and our general understanding of DEs could improve. In this work, a multiscale model of dielectric elastomers is developed. At the molecular scale, an electrostatic response of a single DE monomer is assumed and, using statistical mechanics, the thermodynamics of a DE chain is investigated. This chain scale model leads to an important insight: the role of electrostatic torque on polymer chains in the electromechanical coupling of dielectric elastomers. This chain torque occurs because there is a connection between a chain’s end-to-end vector and its polarization. At the continuum-scale, this macromolecular phenomena manifests itself in the form of a deformation dependent susceptibility. Not only are novel modes of electromechanical coupling discovered, but also lessons learned from (standard) isotropic dielectric elastomers are then used to guide an in-depth analysis of the implications
of designing and manufacturing anisotropic dielectric elastomers. The work in theoretical design reveals how the deformation and usable work derived from (anisotropic) dielectric elastomer actuators may be increased by as much as 75 - 100% relative to standard, isotropic dielectric elastomers.

Efficient methods for determining installed performance of antennas on large vehicles

subject: FOS: Mechanical engineering

description: Modern vehicles (Automobiles, Ships, Satellites and Aircraft) all have a limited amount of physical space to mount an ever-increasing number of different communications and navigation systems. This is exasperated by both the use of materials, like cardon fibre, and the fact that large areas of the vehicles structure cannot be used to mount antenna, due to aerodynamic or other requirements. A RF system engineer is required to be able to quickly and accurately find the optimum locations to mount a number of antenna systems, whilst considering a number of different and sometimes contradictory antenna performance parameters. Therefore, defining the optimum antenna locations, for numerous antenna systems, is a Multi-Objective Problem (MOP) and lends itself to the use of Multi-Objective Evolutionary Algorithms (MOEA). A number of papers have been published for antenna placement using a global optimisation tool to define the optimum location by minimising the mutual coupling between the antennas; however, these papers only consider a single objective. This thesis will demonstrate that the MOEA methodology can be used to accurately, quickly, and robustly define the optimal antenna locations, using multiple objectives of inter antenna mutual coupling and RF radiation pattern.As an MOEA compares many objective solutions (fitness functions), then the algorithms behind these fitness functions must be simple, quick, and accurate. Consequently, this thesis covers the following aspects:• Defining how the communication system parameters are affected by installing a monopole antenna on different ground planes.• Defining a fitness function for predicting the RF interoperability/mutual coupling between antenna systems, objective number 1.• Defining the fitness function for predicting antenna RF radiation pattern installed performance, objective number 2.Finally, it will be shown that a multi-objective optimisation tool, using MATLAB® on a modest desktop computer, can be used to accurately and quickly calculate the optimum antenna locations on a vehicle structure.

description: Little is known about the profitability of treating soybean infected with frogeye leaf spot (FLS) with a foliar fungicide. We determine the economic effect of total water applied, growing degree days, and foliar fungicide treatment on FLS severity and yield of soybean MG III, IV, and V with a two-stage severity/treatment outcome model. Data were collected from an 11-year soybean fungicide experiment in Tennessee under high, natural disease pressure. The marginal value product and the breakeven price of soybean for applying a foliar fungicide to treat FLS were estimated for each MG. Applying foliar fungicide reduced FLS severity and increased yields for each MG. The results suggest a profit-maximizing producer would apply a foliar fungicide each year to manage FLS.

Conformal invariant saturation

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We show that, in onium-onium scattering at (very) high energy, a transition to saturation happens due to quantum fluctuations of QCD dipoles. This transition starts when the order $α^2$ correction of the dipole loop is compensated by its faster energy evolution, leading to a negative interference with the tree level amplitude. After a derivation of the the one-loop dipole contribution using conformal invariance of the elastic 4-gluon amplitude in high energy QCD, we obtain an exact expression of the saturation line in the plane (Y,L) where Y is the total rapidity and L, the logarithm of the onium scale ratio. It shows universal features implying the Balitskyi - Fadin - Kuraev - Lipatov (BFKL) evolution kernel and the square of the QCD triple Pomeron vertex. For large L, only the higher BFKL Eigenvalue contributes, leading to a saturation depending on leading log perturbative QCD characteristics. For initial onium scales of same order, however, it involves an unlimited summation over all conformal BFKL Eigenstates. In all cases, conformal invariance is preserved for the saturation mechanism based on dipole loops.

description: By considering a flavour expansion about the SU(3)-flavour symmetric point, we investigate how flavour-blindness constrains octet baryon matrix elements after SU(3) is broken by the mass difference between quarks. Similarly to hadron masses we find the expansions to be constrained along a mass trajectory where the singlet quark mass is held constant, which provides invaluable insight into the mechanism of flavour symmetry breaking and proves beneficial for extrapolations to the physical point. Expansions are given up to third order in the expansion parameters. Considering higher orders would give no further constraints on the expansion parameters. The relation of the expansion coefficients to the quark-line-connected and quark-line disconnected terms in the 3-point correlation functions is also given. As we consider Wilson clover-like fermions, the addition of improvement coefficients is also discussed and shown to be included in the formalism developed here. As an example of the method we investigate this numerically via a lattice calculation of the flavour-conserving matrix elements of the vector first class form factors.

description: Uniformity of the probability measure of phase space is considered in the framework of classical equilibrium thermodynamics. For the canonical and the grand canonical ensembles, relations are given between the phase space uniformities and thermodynamic potentials, their fluctuations and correlations. For the binary system in the vicinity of the critical point the uniformity is interpreted in terms of temperature dependent rates of phases of well defined uniformities. Examples of a liquid-gas system and the mass spectrum of nuclear fragments are presented.

description: Structured prediction can be considered as a generalization of many standard supervised learning tasks, and is usually thought as a simultaneous prediction of multiple labels. One standard approach is to maximize a score function on the space of labels, which decomposes as a sum of unary and pairwise potentials, each depending on one or two specific labels, respectively. For this approach, several learning and inference algorithms have been proposed over the years, ranging from exact to approximate methods while balancing the computational complexity. However, in contrast to binary and multiclass classification, results on the necessary number of samples for achieving learning is still limited, even for a specific family of predictors such as factor graphs. In this work, we provide minimax bounds for a class of factor-graph inference models for structured prediction. That is, we characterize the necessary sample complexity for any conceivable algorithm to achieve learning of factor-graph predictors.
Optimisation of PBG-Waveguides for THz-Driven Electron Acceleration
Creators: name: Vint, Andrew
Publisher: name: Lancaster University
Year: 2021

description: Particle acceleration in dielectric structures driven by laser sources has been demonstrated as a viable approach to overcome the limitations of conventional accelerator technology and achieve unprecedented levels of electric field gradients. Among the dielectric laser acceleration schemes possible, the use of THz high energy pulses has gained increasing attention in recent years to provide a solution to the challenging whole bunch acceleration problem typical of the optical frequency regime. Most of the experimental work performed so far in THz driven acceleration is based on dielectric lined waveguides. This thesis investigates the use of photonic crystal technology to assess their potential in supporting THz acceleration. Photonic crystals have already been extensively investigated as optical scale accelerating structures. The use of photonic crystals over conventional dielectric lined metal walls allows for higher breakdown resistance which in turn offers the potential of higher accelerating gradients. For this reason, photonic crystals are a potential future technology for high-gradient, low-footprint particle accelerators. Here, their properties are exploited in novel metal/dielectric structures to provide efficient acceleration at THz. In particular, a methodology for the design and optimisation of photonic crystal-based waveguides, also known as photonic bandgap waveguides (PBG-Ws), for THz electron acceleration is presented. The effects of broad and narrow pulse bandwidths on the effective accelerating voltage are considered, with particular attention on providing a design methodology to tune central frequency of operation. The effects of tunability, coupling, wall-fields, and beam-driven excitation are numerically investigated and compared to the dielectric lined waveguide. Advantages and limitations of two main geometries of PBG-based waveguides are provided. It was found that 1D PBG-based waveguides lead to better accelerating voltage overall, while 2D PBG-based waveguides are interesting for very narrowband coherent Cherenkov source applications. In addition, the design methodology here presented is not limited to photonic crystal-based waveguides as shown by results obtained for the dielectric lined waveguide and can contribute to the design of future THz acceleration dielectric structures.

description: Objective: To systematically review the literature on weight management pharmaceutical use in patients who have had bariatric surgery. Methods: Google Scholar, Pubmed, Cochrane, Embase, Web of Science, and Clinical Trials were searched from inception to December 31st, 2018 inclusive. Results: Thirteen studies met inclusion and reported decreases in weight with the use of weight management medications in post-bariatric surgical patients. Five studies examined weight loss outcomes by the type of bariatric surgery procedure, and four of these studies observed less weight loss in patients who had undergone gastric sleeve compared to those who had roux-en-y bypass (n = 3 papers) and adjustable gastric banding (n = 1 paper) with medication use. Four studies compared the effectiveness of medications for weight management and observed slightly greater weight loss with the use of topiramate and phentermine as a monotherapy compared to other weight loss medications. Using a sub-sample of participants, authors observed less weight loss on metformin but not phentermine or topiramate for younger adults. Another post-hoc analysis in the same sample observed greater weight loss for older adults with liraglutide 1.8 mg. Side effects were reported in seven studies and were overall consistent with those previously reported in non-surgical populations. Conclusion: Results of this systematic review suggest pharmacotherapy may be an effective tool as an adjunct to diet and physical activity to support weight loss in post-bariatric surgery patients. However, due to most studies lacking a control or placebo group, more rigorous research is required to determine the efficacy of this intervention.

description: Cosmic rays (CRs) in the Galaxy are an important dynamical component of the interstellar medium (ISM) that interact with the other major components (interstellar magnetic and radiation fields, and gas) to produce broadband interstellar emissions that span the electromagnetic spectrum. The standard modelling of CR propagation and production of the associated emissions is based on a steady-state assumption, where the CR source spatial density is described using a smoothly varying function of position that does not evolve with time. While this is a convenient approximation, reality is otherwise where primary CRs are produced in and about highly localised regions, e.g., supernova remnants, which have finite lifetimes. In this paper we use the latest version of the GALPROP CR propagation code to model time-dependent CR injection and propagation through the ISM from a realistic three-dimensional discretised CR source density distribution, together with full three-dimensional models for the other major ISM components, and make predictions of the associated broadband non-thermal emissions. We compare the predictions for the discretised and equivalent steady-state model, finding that the former predicts novel features in the broadband non-thermal emissions that are absent for the steady-state case. Some of features predicted by the discretised model may be observable in all-sky observations made by WMAP and Planck, the recently launched eROSITA, the Fermi-LAT, and ground-based observations by HESS, HAWC, and the forthcoming CTA. The non-thermal emissions predicted by the discretised model may also provide explanations of puzzling anomalies in high-energy gamma ray data, such as the Fermi-LAT north/south asymmetry and residuals like the so-called "Fermi bubbles".

description: We report on deterministic generation of 18-qubit genuinely entangled Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) state and multi-component atomic Schrödinger cat states of up to 20 qubits on a quantum processor, which features 20 superconducting qubits interconnected by a bus resonator. By engineering a one-axis twisting Hamiltonian enabled by the resonator-mediated interactions, the system of qubits initialized coherently evolves to an over-squeezed, non-Gaussian regime, where atomic Schrödinger cat states, i.e., superpositions of atomic coherent states including GHZ state, appear at specific time intervals in excellent agreement with theory. With high controllability, we are able to take snapshots of the dynamics by plotting quasidistribution $Q$-functions of the 20-qubit atomic cat states, and globally characterize the 18-qubit GHZ state which yields a fidelity of $0.525\pm0.005$ confirming genuine eighteen-partite entanglement. Our results demonstrate the largest entanglement controllably created so far in solid state architectures, and the process of generating and detecting multipartite entanglement may promise applications in practical quantum metrology, quantum information processing and quantum computation.

description: We construct solutions within Jackiw-Teitelboim (JT) gravity in the presence of nontrivial couplings between the dilaton and the Abelian $1$-form where we analyse the asymptotic structure as well as the phase stability corresponding to charged black hole solutions in $1+1$ D. We consider the Almheiri-Polchinski (AP) model as a specific example within $1+1$ D JT gravity which plays a pivotal role in the study of Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev (SYK)/anti-de Sitter (AdS) duality. The corresponding vacuum solutions exhibit a rather different asymptotic structure than their uncharged counterpart. We find interpolating vacuum solutions with AdS$_2$ in the IR and Lifshitz$_2$ in the UV with dynamical exponent $z_{\text{dyn}}=3/2$. Interestingly, the presence of charge also modifies the black hole geometry from asymptotically AdS to asymptotically Lifshitz with same value of the dynamical exponent. We consider specific examples, where we compute the corresponding free-energy and explore the thermodynamic phase stability associated with charged black hole solutions in $1+1$ D. Our analysis reveals the existence of a universal thermodynamic feature that is expected to reveal its immediate consequences on the dual SYK physics at finite density and strong coupling.

description: We present results of a study of the variability of the marginal Am star HD\,176843 observed in the {\it Kepler} field. {\it Kepler} photometry and ground-based spectroscopy are used to investigate the light variations of the star. HD\,176843 is classified as a marginal Am star that shows $δ$\ Sct type pulsations. From an analysis of the {\it Kepler} time series, we find that the light curve of HD\,176843 is dominated by three modes with frequencies $f_{1}$=0.1145, $f_{2}$=0.0162 and $f_{3}$=0.1078 d$^{-1}$. The amplitude of the radial velocity variations of about 10 km/s is much more than the radial velocity errors and allows us to conclude clear radial velocity variations. Using the radial velocity data and the adopted spectra, the orbital solution of HD\,176843 is also obtained with an orbital period of 34.14 days. However, the available photometric data show no significant evidence for any possible motion in the binary system.

description: Recently, location-based services (LBS) have steered attention to indoor positioning systems (IPS). WLAN-based IPSs relying on received signal strength (RSS) measurements such as fingerprinting are gaining popularity due to proven high accuracy of their results. Typically, sets of RSS measurements at selected locations from several WLAN access points (APs) are used to calibrate the system. Retrieval of such measurements from WLAN cards are commonly at one-Hz rate. Such measurement collection is needed for offline radio-map surveying stage which aligns fingerprints to locations, and for online navigation stage, when collected measurements are associated with the radio-map for user navigation. As WLAN network is not originally designed for positioning, an RSS measurement miss could have a high impact on the fingerprinting system. Additionally, measurement fluctuations require laborious signal processing, and surveying process can be very time consuming. This paper proposes a fast-rate measurement collection method that addresses previously mentioned problems by achieving a higher probability of RSS measurement collection during a given one-second window. This translates to more data for statistical processing and faster surveying. The fast-rate collection approach is analyzed against the conventional measurement rate in a proposed testing methodology that mimics real-life scenarios related to IPS surveying and online navigation.

The universe is assumed to be filled with barotropic and dark energy(DE) perfect fluid in which DE interact with matter. For a deceleration parameter(DP) having decelerating-accelerating transition phase of universe, we assume hybrid expansion law for scale factor. The transition red shift for the model is obtained as $z_t = 0.956$. The model satisfies current observational constraints.

Our study of specific models suggests that the attachment time of a motor decreases with increasing ATP concentration and that double-headed motors such as kinesins lose their processivity under forcing conditions while processive single-headed motors are less sensitive to tangential forcing.

description: Continuum supersymmetry is a class of models in which the supersymmetric partners together with part of the standard model come from a conformal sector, broken in the IR near the TeV scale. Such models not only open new doors for addressing the problems of the standard model, but also have unique signatures at hadron colliders, which might explain why we have not yet seen any superpartners at the LHC. Here we use gauge-gravity duality to model the conformal sector, generate collider simulations, and finally analyze continuum gluino signatures at the LHC. Due to the increase in the number of jets produced the bounds are weaker than for the minimal supersymmetric standard model with the same gluino mass threshold.

description: We present evolutionary models of zero-metallicity very massive objects, with initial masses in the range 120 Msun -- 1000 Msun, covering their quiescent evolution up to central carbon ignition. In the attempt of exploring the possible occurrence of mass loss by stellar winds, calculations are carried out with recently-developed formalisms for the mass-loss rates driven by radiation pressure (Kudritzki 2002) and stellar rotation (Maeder & Meynet 2000).The study completes the previous analysis by Marigo et al. (2001) on the constant-mass evolution of primordial stars. Our results indicate that radiation pressure (assuming a minimum metallicity Z = 10^{-4} Zsun)is not an efficient driving force of mass loss, except for very massive stars with M >= 750 Msun. On the other hand, stellar rotation might play a crucial role in triggering powerful stellar winds, once the (Omega-Gamma)-limit is approached. However, this critical condition of intense mass loss can be maintained just for short, as the loss of angular momentum due to mass ejection quickly leads to the spinning down of the star. As by-product to the present work, the wind chemical yields from massive zero-metallicity stars are presented. The helium and metal enrichments, and the resulting Delta(Y)/Delta(Z) ratio are briefly discussed.

description: Rural people in Nepal and other developing nations are part of complex, social-ecological systems. Efforts to provide assistance to these people must integrate knowledge from a variety of perspectives. This report documents the use of a role-playing game, supported by an agent-based model, to demonstrate the interaction between migration, social capital and the effectiveness of water storage. The importance of these interactions was highlighted by fieldwork conducted at several sites in the Koshi River Basin. The model underlying the game was a stylized representation based on the Indrawati Subbasin northeast of Kathmandu, Nepal. The report highlights that (a) role-playing tournaments can be an effective way to engage technical and policy experts with the complex interactions between the social and physical dimensions of watershed management; and (b) migration and the economic changes which drive these interactions are forces that need to be accepted, and investments in water storage need to be selected depending on how they fit into these trends.

description: Objective: To systematically review the literature on weight management pharmaceutical use in patients who have had bariatric surgery. Methods: Google Scholar, Pubmed, Cochrane, Embase, Web of Science, and Clinical Trials were searched from inception to December 31st, 2018 inclusive. Results: Thirteen studies met inclusion and reported decreases in weight with the use of weight management medications in post-bariatric surgical patients. Five studies examined weight loss outcomes by the type of bariatric surgery procedure, and four of these studies observed less weight loss in patients who had undergone gastric sleeve compared to those who had roux-en-y bypass (n = 3 papers) and adjustable gastric banding (n = 1 paper) with medication use. Four studies compared the effectiveness of medications for weight management and observed slightly greater weight loss with the use of topiramate and phentermine as a monotherapy compared to other weight loss medications. Using a sub-sample of participants, authors observed less weight loss on metformin but not phentermine or topiramate for younger adults. Another post-hoc analysis in the same sample observed greater weight loss for older adults with liraglutide 1.8mg. Side effects were reported in seven studies and were overall consistent with those previously reported in non-surgical populations. Conclusions: Results of this systematic review suggest pharmacotherapy may be an effective tool as an adjunct to diet and physical activity to support weight loss in post-bariatric surgery patients. However, due to most studies lacking a control or placebo group, more rigorous research is required to determine the efficacy of this intervention.
Spectacular doping dependence of interlayer exchange and other results on spin waves in bilayer manganites

description: We report the measurement of spin waves in the bilayer colossal magnetoresistive manganites La(2-2x)Sr(1+2x)Mn2O7 with x=0.30, 0.35 and 0.40. For x=0.35 and 0.40 the entire acoustic and optic dispersion relations are reasonably well described by those for a bilayer Heisenberg Hamiltonian with nearest neighbour exchange only. The in-plane coupling is only weakly dependent on x, but the coupling between the planes of a bilayer changes by a factor of four. The results directly reveal the change from mixed and character of the orbitals to mostly character with increasing hole concentration.

Dynamic Transitions in Pure Ising Magnets under Pulsed and Oscillating Fields

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

description: Response of pure Ising systems to time-dependent external magnetic fields, like pulsed and oscillating fields, are discussed and compared here. Because of the two time scales involved, namely the thermodynamic relaxation time of the system and the pulse width or the time period of the external field, dynamically broken symmetric phases appear spontaneously when both become comparable. A particularly simple case is that of an Ising ferromagnet below its static critical temperature, when it is perturbed for a short duration by a pulsed magnetic field competing with the existing order in the system. If the field strength and duration is more than the threshold (dependent on the temperature), the system, and consequently the magnetization, switches from one minimum to the other of the static free energy. This magnetization reversal transition here shows intriguing dynamic transition behaviour, similar to those for oscillating fields. Monte Carlo studies for such dynamic transitions are discussed and compared with the mean field results for the same and the Monte Carlo results for the oscillating field case. In particular, we discuss about the Monte Carlo results for the fluctuations and their growth behaviour near this magnetization reversal (dynamic) transition point.

description: Using a unique data on sub-Saharan Africa, we show that even though in absolute terms men pay more bribes, in relative terms, women are more likely to be involved in bribery or do favors that benefit the household. Additionally, running country specific regressions shows that for 65% of the countries gender differences when household needs are at stake disappear. These results underscore the importance of household needs to the woman, and that the effect of gender on corruption may well be context specific.

description: Structured prediction can be thought of as a simultaneous prediction of multiple labels. This is often done by maximizing a score function on the space of labels, which decomposes as a sum of pairwise and unary potentials. The above is naturally modeled with a graph, where edges and vertices are related to pairwise and unary potentials, respectively. We consider the generative process proposed by Globerson et al. and apply it to general connected graphs. We analyze the structural conditions of the graph that allow for the exact recovery of the labels. Our results show that exact recovery is possible and achievable in polynomial time for a large class of graphs. In particular, we show that graphs that are bad expanders can be exactly recovered by adding small edge perturbations coming from the Erdős-Rényi model. Finally, as a byproduct of our analysis, we provide an extension of Cheeger's inequality.
