A Revisit of the Two-Pole Caustic Model for GeV Light Curves of Gamma-Ray Pulsars

description: The GeV light curve of a pulsar is an important probe to detect acceleration regions in its magnetosphere. Motivated by the recent reports on the observations of pulsars by {\it Fermi} Large Area Telescope (LAT), we restudy the two-pole caustic model and revise it to investigate the properties of the light curves in the GeV band. In the revised model, although acceleration gaps can extend from the star surface to the light cylinder along near the last open field lines, the extension of the gaps along the azimuthal direction is limited because of photon-photon pair production process. In such gaps, high-energy photons are emitted uniformly and tangentially to the field lines but cannot be efficiently produced along these field lines where the distances to the null charge surface are larger than $\sim0.9$ times of the distance of the light cylinder, and the effective azimuth extension of the gaps is about $230^\circ$. The model is applied to the four pulsars Vela, PSR J1028-5819, PSR J0205+6449, and PSR J2021+3651 whose light curves obtained with {\it Fermi} have been recently released. The model is successful in reproducing the general feature of the light curves for the four pulsars, and the radial distances of the radio pulse for the four pulsars are estimated.

description: Physical activity and sedentary behaviour are emerging as significant risk factors to chronic diseases globally, with demographic and lifestyle transitions further driving the burden. Despite this, limited information is available regarding the relationship between physical activity and multiple chronic diseases among Nepalese adults and the potential barriers and facilitators of physical activity participation. We found that participation in physical activity decreased the likelihood of suffering from cardiometabolic conditions, particularly type 2 diabetes and hypertension. Traditional gender norms, family responsibilities, and lack of a conducive built environment hindered physical activity participation. Hence, a multi-sectoral approach is required to address growing inactivity levels.

description: In a universe of the Randall-Sundrum type, black holes are unstable and emit gravitational modes in the extra dimension. This leads to dramatically shortened lifetimes of astrophysical black holes and to an observable change of the orbital period of black-hole binaries. I obtain an upper limit on the rate of change of the orbital period of the binary XTE J1118+480 and constrain the asymptotic curvature radius of the extra dimension to a value that is of the same order as the constraints from other astrophysical sources. A unique property of XTE J1118+480 is that the expected rate of change of the orbital period due to magnetic braking alone is so large that only one additional measurement of the orbital period would lead to the first detection of orbital evolution of a black-hole binary and impose the tightest constraint to date on the size of one extra dimension of the order of 35 microns.

description: We report on the occurrence of exchange bias on laser-ablated granular thin films composed of Co nanoparticles embedded in amorphous zirconia matrix. The deposition method allows controlling the degree of oxidation of the Co particles by tuning the oxygen pressure at the vacuum chamber (from 2x10^{-5} to 10^{-1} mbar). The nature of the nanoparticles embedded in the nonmagnetic matrix is monitored from metallic, ferromagnetic (FM) Co to antiferromagnetic (AFM) CoOx, with a FM/AFM intermediate regime for which the percentage of the AFM phase can be increased at the expense of the FM phase, leading to the occurrence of exchange bias in particles of about 2 nm in size. For oxygen pressure of about 10-3 mbar the ratio between the FM and AFM phases is optimum with an exchange bias field about 900 Oe at 1.8 K. The mutual exchange coupling between the AFM and FM is also at the origin of the induced exchange anisotropy on the FM leading to high irreversible hysteresis loops, and the blocking of the AFM clusters due to proximity to the FM phase.

description: We investigate a new thin-shell wormhole constructed by surgically grafting two regular charged black holes arising from the action using nonlinear electrodynamics coupled to general relativity. The stress-energy components within the shell violate the null and weak energy conditions but obey the strong energy condition. We study the stability in two ways: (i) taking a specific equation of state at the throat and (ii) analyzing the stability to linearized spherically symmetric perturbations about a static equilibrium solution. Various other aspects of this thin-shell wormhole are also analyzed.

description: In the past decade we have witnessed remarkable developments in the gauge-gravity duality, which suggested a new approach to superstring theory and quantum space-time. In this context it is important to study supersymmetric large-N gauge theories in the strongly coupled regime. I will summarize the results and insights obtained so far by non-lattice simulations. A simple example of the gauge-gravity duality is the one between 1d U(N) gauge theory with 16 supercharges and the so-called black 0-brane solution in type IIA supergravity. In order for this duality to be valid, one has to take the 't Hooft large-N limit and to take the strong coupling limit on the gauge theory side. The gauge theory can be regularized by fixing the gauge completely thanks to one dimension, and by introducing a Fourier mode cutoff. One can then use the standard RHMC algorithm to simulate the system. The energy calculated as a function of the temperature was compared with the results obtained from the gravity side based on the black hole thermodynamics. This confirmed the gauge-gravity duality with high accuracy and provided the microscopic origin of the black hole thermodynamics. From the calculation of the Wilson loop, one obtains the Schwarzschild radius of the dual geometry. One can actually use the present 1d model with supersymmetric mass deformation to study \mathcal{N}=4 super Yang-Mills theory on R \times S^3 based on a novel large-N reduction, which generalizes the original idea of Eguchi and Kawai. It is remarkable that we can now simulate the 4d superconformal field theory, which appears in the most typical case of the gauge-gravity duality known as the AdS/CFT correspondence. In particular, no fine-tuning is required unlike previous proposals based on the lattice regularization.

title: Vicarious and autobiographical memory: exploring associations with mood, identity and meaning-making
Creators: name: Pond, Emily S.
Publisher: name: Memorial University of Newfoundland
Year: 2019

description: Vicarious memories are memories that people have in reference to events that they have not directly experienced; rather, they heard them secondhand. Previous studies of vicarious memory have predominantly focused on vicarious trauma and intergenerational narratives. There are few studies that have specifically examined non-traumatic vicarious memories beyond intergenerational narratives. The purpose of this study was to contribute new information to the memory literature regarding vicarious memory reports. University students (N = 142) completed an in-person interview in which they recalled four memories: a highly positive personal memory, a highly negative personal memory, a highly positive vicarious memory and a highly negative vicarious memory. Participants also completed questionnaires regarding identity development (Ego Identity Process Questionnaire), identity distress (Identity Distress Survey) and psychological distress (Depression Anxiety Stress Questionnaire 21). Personal and vicarious memory reports were compared and contrasted in terms of various memory qualities, memory functions, event centrality and the ways in which participants made meaning from the events. The results indicate that vicarious and personal memory reports share many phenomenological and functional properties. Although to a lesser degree than personal memories, vicarious memories do influence decision-making and problem-solving. A particularly important function of vicarious memory is enhancing intimacy. Furthermore, participants endorsed vicarious memories as a reference point for interpreting other life experiences. Young adults create meaning about themselves from highly emotional vicarious memories, and they do so in a pattern that parallels meaning-making of highly emotional personal memories. Current models of episodic memory only include events that individuals have directly experienced. The current study adds to a growing body of literature, which suggests that current models of episodic memory are too restrictive and should expand to include vicarious memory reports.

description: We highlight the role of the light elements (Li, Be, B) in the evolution of massive single and binary stars, which is largely restricted to a diagnostic value, and foremost so for the element boron. However, we show that the boron surface abundance in massive early type stars contains key information about their foregoing evolution which is not obtainable otherwise. In particular, it allows to constrain internal mixing processes and potential previous mass transfer event for binary stars (even if the companion has disappeared). It may also help solving the mystery of the slowly rotating nitrogen-rich massive main sequence stars.

description: We analyze the neutron skin thickness in finite nuclei with the droplet model and effective nuclear interactions. The ratio of the bulk symmetry energy J to the so-called surface stiffness coefficient Q has in the droplet model a prominent role in driving the size of neutron skins. We present a correlation between the density derivative of the nuclear symmetry energy at saturation and the J/Q ratio. We emphasize the role of the surface widths of the neutron and proton density profiles in the calculation of the neutron skin thickness when one uses realistic mean-field effective interactions. Next, taking as experimental baseline the neutron skin sizes measured in 26 antiprotonic atoms along the mass table, we explore constraints arising from neutron skins on the value of the J/Q ratio. The results favor a relatively soft symmetry energy at subsaturation densities. Our predictions are compared with the recent constraints derived from other experimental observables. Though the various extractions predict different ranges of values, one finds a narrow window L ~ 45-75 MeV for the coefficient L that characterizes the density derivative of the symmetry energy which is compatible with all the different empirical indications.

description: We present the results of concurrent X-ray and optical monitoring of the Seyfert 1 galaxy Mrk 79 over a period of more than five years. We find that on short to medium time-scales (days to a few tens of days) the 2-10 keV X-ray and optical u and V band fluxes are significantly correlated, with a delay between the bands consistent with zero days. We show that most of these variations may be well reproduced by a model where the short-term optical variations originate from reprocessing of X-rays by an optically thick accretion disc. The optical light curves, however, also display long time-scale variations over thousands of days, which are not present in the X-ray light curve. These optical variations must originate from an independent variability mechanism and we show that they can be produced by variations in the (geometrically) thin disc accretion rate as well as by varying reprocessed fractions through changes in the location of the X-ray corona.

description: When designing and analysing clinical trials with time-to-event outcomes, the most commonly applied methods assume that treatment effects and event rates are constant over time and apply equally to all patients receiving the treatment. Newly developed treatments can have effects that vary in beneficial value over time, and can vary for different patient populations. This thesis illustrates the increased insight and clinical understanding that can be achieved through the use of new analysis approaches and my proposed presentation of complementary graphs should provide the impetus to more fully assess and report clinical trial findings.

description: In den vergangenen 15 Jahren sind in Deutschland zahlreiche Bioenergiedörfer entstanden, in denen eine klimafreundliche und zumeist auf Biomasse basierende Wärmeversorgung der angeschlossenen Haushalte umgesetzt wird. Mehr biogene Reststoffe für die Energieerzeugung in die Nutzung zu bringen oder die Erzeugung und Vermarktung von Biomethan, stellen Bioenergiedörfer mit ihren Biogasanlagen vor neue Herausforderungen. Es gilt, trotz sinkenden Vergütungen für den KWK-Strom aus den Biogasanlagen, die Wärmeversorgung der Dörfer sicher zu stellen. In dieser Studie wurde anhand eines Modell-Bioenergiedorfes der Fall untersucht, bei dem ein Teil der Biogas-BHKWs außer Betrieb genommen und das Anlagenkonzept (Energieerzeuger + Wärmenetz) durch den Zubau einer Pyrolyseanlage ergänzt wird. Die Pyrolyseanlage erzeugt einerseits Wärme, die im Nahwärmenetz für die Versorgung der Haushalte und für die Beheizung des Fermenters genutzt wird und andererseits produziert sie vermarktungsfähige Pflanzenkohlen. Für die Überprüfung der Wirtschaftlichkeit wurden 3 Substratmixszenarien aus Hackschnitzeln, Stroh und Gärrest mit unterschiedlichen Verkaufs- bzw. Einkaufspreisen für Pflanzenkohle, Wärme und Biomasse untersucht. Die Berechnungsergebnisse haben gezeigt, dass der Verkaufspreis für die Pflanzenkohle die wichtigste Stellschraube ist und dass die zusätzliche Investition in eine Gärresttrocknung den Vorteil des kostengünstig produzierten Pyrolyse-Substrates überkompensiert. Pflanzenkohlen aus 100% Holzhackschnitzeln haben sich aufgrund ihres angenommenen hohen Marktwertes von 1.000 €/t als die aus ökonomischer Sicht sinnvollste Substrat-Variante erwiesen.

description: This report has been assembled to provide parameters to assist with the design of geothermal wells that are expected to encounter supercritical geothermal conditions at depth in the Taupō Volcanic Zone (TVZ). To advance well design, two synthetic well prognoses have been developed, structured to define the conditions expected to be encountered and to be contained by a supercritical geothermal well in the TVZ drilled to a depth of ~6 km. Two sites were selected for hypothetical wells: (i) in a location midway between Ohaaki and Ngatamariki (SC-1), some distance from a currently identified geothermal system, and (ii) on the margin of the Rotokawa Geothermal System (SC-2). The main difference in the prognoses is the expected depth from the surface to the metasedimentary basement rocks; in SC-1 the contact is predicted at 2800 m, whilst in SC-2 it is predicted to be ~2000 m. Above the basement metasedimentary rocks is a volcanic stratigraphic pile. The wells are anticipated to reach 400 and 500°C at depths of about 4000 and 6000 metres respectively. Pressure-depth conditions expected are hydrostatic from the surface down to the metasedimentary contact, and probably sub-hydrostatic in the metasedimentary rocks. Though it is challenging to predict the composition of supercritical fluids, we propose an analogy here based on the physicochemical conditions of supercritical fluids that have been variously encountered in other parts of the world compared with analyses from subcritical conditions encountered in the Rotokawa Geothermal System in the TVZ. Based on the geoscience information, we outline what might be expected from the well once constructed. Equipment, materials, and drilling and well testing procedures are proposed that could reasonably be expected to ensure a satisfactory well completion and an acceptable well life. There is significant preparatory work required to prepare for the drilling and testing of an exploratory supercritical well, the development of methods, procedures and tools capable of withstanding the anticipated conditions are discussed (auth)

The ion motion is found to be well described by the Duffing oscillator model with an additional nonlinear damping term. We demonstrate a unique ability of tuning both the linear as well as the nonlinear damping coefficients by controlling the cooling laser parameters. Our observations open a way for the investigation of nonlinear dynamics on the quantum-to-classical interface as well as mechanical noise squeezing in laser-cooling dynamics.

description: The extraction of membrane tubes by molecular motors is known to play an important role for the transport properties of eukaryotic cells. By studying a generic class of models for the tube extraction, we discover a rich phase diagram. In particular we show that the density of motors along the tube can exhibit shocks, inverse shocks and plateaux, depending on parameters which could in principle be probed experimentally. In addition the phase diagram exhibits interesting reentrant behavior.
Exploring tongue, lip, and hand function in healthy aging

description: Swallowing efficiency deteriorates with age, but much is unknown regarding the age-related changes. Tongue and lip strength are potential surrogate markers of swallowing efficiency given their correlation with impaired swallowing (dysphagia). Tongue and lip strength have also been associated with grip strength, a common index of overall muscular functioning. To date, oral strength relative to grip strength is not well understood and the tongue is often studied in isolation. Furthermore, sex differences in swallowing remain under-investigated. Using an observational design, 18 healthy adults were stratified into 3 age groups: youngest (<45; n1 = 7), middle (45-65; n2 = 6), oldest (>65; n3 = 5). Participant age ranged from 18 to 80 years. Median (IQR) age was 55.2 (43.4) years. Each group included 1 male, age-matched within approximately one year to a female. Participants were assessed for maximum anterior and posterior tongue strength (kPa) and endurance (s), left and right lip strength (kPa), and grip and pinch strength (N). The sequence of oral measurement positions was randomized. Data was summarized using medians (IQR), and analyzed with nonparametric tests. Across the female sample, anterior tongue strength and endurance were stronger than posterior (strength, p = .009; endurance, p <.001). We are the first to find age-specific strength and endurance differences between tongue positions (Youngest: strength, p = .009; endurance, p < .001). Uniquely, we found lip strength decline with age, p = .047, and positive association between oral and pinch strength (anterior tongue, p <.001; posterior tongue, p = .009; right lip, p = .006; left lip, p = .03). Consistent with previous research, tongue and hand strength decreased with age, particularly in the oldest group (anterior tongue, p = .036; posterior tongue, p = .024; grip, p = .003). Tongue strength positively correlated with grip, p <.001, suggesting generalized age-related decline. Finally, males were stronger than females (left lip, p = .004; grip, p = .004; pinch, p <.001). These findings contribute further understanding of oral structures with age in females, and with further investigations, may inform low-cost dysphagia screening methods and facilitate better patient care.

description: We have measured an Ag/Al interface specific resistance, 2AR(Ag/Al)(111) = 1.4 fOhm-m^2, that is twice that predicted for a perfect interface, 50% larger than for a 2 ML 50%-50% alloy, and even larger than our newly predicted 1.3 fOhmm^2 for a 4 ML 50%-50% alloy. Such a large value of 2ARAg/Al(111) confirms a predicted sensitivity to interfacial disorder and suggests an interface greater than or equal to 4 ML thick. From our calculations, a predicted anisotropy ratio, 2AR(Ag/Al)(001)/2AR(Ag/Al)(111), of more then 4 for a perfect interface, should be reduced to less than 2 for a 4 ML interface, making it harder to detect any such anisotropy.

description: Der Terahertz‐Frequenzbereich umfasst ein technisch wenig erschlossenes Grenzgebiet im elektromagnetischen Spektrum. Es ist aber besonders interessant, weil es im niederenergetischen Bereich viele Eigenfrequenzen verschiedener, komplexer Quantenphänomene enthält. Dafür stehen neuerdings intensive Terahertz‐Pulse aus spezialisierten Elektronenbeschleunigern zur Verfügung. Solche superradianten Hochleistungs‐Terahertz‐Quellen sind wichtige Großgeräte zur Erforschung der nichtlinearen Dynamik niederenergetischer Freiheitsgrade in Materie. Teil 2 im nächsten Heft wird zeigen, wie damit neue Materialien wie topologische Isolatoren erforscht werden können.

description: The anisotropy of electrical resistivity was measured in parent compounds of the iron-arsenic high temperature superconductors, AEFe2As2 with Alkali Earth elements AE=Ca,Sr, Ba. Measurements were performed using both the Montgomery technique and direct resistivity measurements on samples cut along principal crystallographic directions. The anisotropy ratio γ_ρ=ρ_c/ρ_a is well below 10 for all compounds in the whole temperature range studied (4 to 300 K), in notable contrast to previous reports. The anisotropy at room temperature increases from about 2 in Ca, to about 4 in Sr and Ba. In all compounds the resistivity ratio decreases on cooling through the structural/antiferromagnetic transition temperature T_{SM}, with the change mainly coming from stronger variation in ρ_a as compared with ρ_c. This suggests that the transitions stronger affect the two-dimensional parts of the Fermi surface. We compare our experimental observations with band structure calculations, and find similar trend in the evolution of anisotropy with the size of AE ion. Our results show that the electronic structure of the iron pnictides has large contribution from three-dimensional areas of the Fermi surface.

description: We study the particle energy distribution in the cocoon surrounding Cygnus A, using radio images between 151 MHz and 15 GHz and a 200 ks Chandra ACIS-I image. We show that the excess low frequency emission in the the lobe further from Earth cannot be explained by absorption or excess adiabatic expansion of the lobe or a combination of both. We show that this excess emission is consistent with emission from a relic counterlobe and a relic counterjet that are being re-energized by compression from the current lobe. We detect hints of a relic hotspot at the end of the relic X-ray jet in the more distant lobe. We do not detect relic emission in the lobe nearer to Earth as expected from light travel-time effects assuming intrinsic symmetry. We determine that the duration of the previous jet activity phase was slightly less than that of the current jet-active phase. Further, we explain some features observed at 5 and 15 GHz as due to the presence of a relic jet.

description: We investigate the validity of the generalized second law in irreversible thermodynamics in a non-flat FRW universe containing the interacting dark energy with cold dark matter. The boundary of the universe is assumed to be enclosed by the dynamical apparent horizon. We show that for the present time, the generalized second law in nonequilibrium thermodynamics is satisfied for the special range of the energy transfer constants.

description: In the standard Friedmann-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) approach to model the Universe the violation of the so-called energy conditions is related to some important properties of the Universe as, for example, the current and the inflationary accelerating expansion phases. The energy conditions are also necessary in the formulation and proofs of Hawking-Penrose singularity theorems. In two recent articles we have derived bounds from energy conditions and made confrontations of these bounds with supernovae data. Here, we extend these results in following way: first, by using our most recent statistical procedure for calculating new q(z) estimates from the \emph{gold} and \emph{combined} type Ia supernovae samples; second, we use these estimates to obtain a new picture of the energy conditions fulfillment and violation for the recent past ($z\leq 1 $) in the context of the standard cosmology.

description: Transport through a molecular device coupled to a vibrational mode is studied. By mapping it to the Yu-Anderson model in the large contact broadening limit, the zero bias electric and heat conductances are evaluated non-perturbatively. These exhibit a step from their T=0 value to half of its value as T increases due to the opening of the inelastic scattering channel. The spectral function exhibits the Franck-Condon suppressed multiphonon steps. The Wiedemann-Franz law is satisfied at low and high temperatures, but is violated in between. Relations to experiments are discussed.

description: We propose a new process of mu(-) e(-) -> e(-) e(-) in a muonic atom for a quest of charged lepton flavor violation. The Coulomb attraction from the nucleus in a heavy muonic atom leads to significant enhancement in its rate, compared to mu(+) e(-) -> e(+) e(-). The upper limit of the branching ratio is estimated to be of the orders of O[10^(-17)-10^(-18)] for the photonic and the four Fermi interactions from the present experimental constraints. The search for this process could serve complementarily with the other relevant processes to shed lights upon the nature of charged lepton flavor violation.

Cancer

description: Cancer incidence and outcomes vary across populations and geographies over time. Understanding the extent and causes of disparities is essential to cancer control. This thesis developed statistical models to predict cancer incident cases and outcomes at the small-area level. Studies described geographic and temporal patterns, examined factors explaining the variation, and performed projections in geographic areas. My thesis provides novel clinical contributions and methodological framework in terms of identifying factors that explain cancer disparities and quantify the existing and future burden of cancer at the small-area level, essential for cancer prevention and control. These models can be implemented in other cancers and diseases.

description: The quantum-classical Liouville equation describes the dynamics of a quantum subsystem coupled to a classical environment. It has been simulated using various methods, notably, surface-hopping schemes. A representation of this equation in the mapping Hamiltonian basis for the quantum subsystem is derived. The resulting equation of motion, in conjunction with expressions for quantum expectation values in the mapping basis, provide another route to the computation of the nonadiabatic dynamics of observables that does not involve surface-hopping dynamics. The quantum-classical Liouville equation is exact for the spin-boson system. This well-known model is simulated using an approximation to the evolution equation in the mapping basis and close agreement with exact quantum results is found.

A dynamical inconsistency of Horava gravity

description: The dynamical consistency of the non-projectable version of Horava gravity is investigated by focusing on the asymptotically flat case. It is argued that for generic solutions of the constraint equations the lapse must vanish asymptotically. We then consider particular values of the coupling constants for which the equations are tractable and in that case we prove that the lapse must vanish everywhere -- and not only at infinity. Put differently, the Hamiltonian constraints are generically all second-class. We then argue that the same feature holds for generic values of the couplings, thus revealing a physical inconsistency of the theory. In order to cure this pathology, one might want to introduce further constraints but the resulting theory would then lose much of the appeal of the original proposal by Horava. We also show that there is no contradiction with the time reparametrization invariance of the action, as this invariance is shown to be a so-called "trivial gauge symmetry" in Horava gravity, hence with no associated first-class constraints.
