description: A simple X-ray imaging system using off-the-shelf electronics and simple reconstruction algorithms aiming a spatial resolution of 1.7 mm ($\sim 3\,\%$ of the detector length) is described in this work. For this, two 100 cm$^2$ Gas Electron Multiplier (GEM) foils with a thickness of 100 μm (2-fold thicker than the standard ones) were immersed in a mixture of argon and carbon dioxide (70:30). The charge readout with 2D position determination was done with resistive charge division. Due to their higher thickness with respect to the standard GEMs, the 100 μm thick GEM foils were found to be less prone to damage caused by the electrical discharges. X-ray images are shown and some descriptions of the physical processes involved are presented. We describe the advantages of this method that allows counting each X-ray photon or particle entering the detector, its interaction position, as well as measuring of its energy. The results of our present work show a position resolution below 2 mm, being limited by the gas mixture used, and not the detecting system, with a very good cost effectiveness. Future work is being carried out to optimize the present system for a medical application as a proton beam monitor.

description: The Hydraulic External Pre-Isolator (HEPI) is the first 6 degrees of freedom active seismic isolation system implemented at the Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory (LIGO). Implementation was first completed at the LIGO Livingston Observatory (LLO) prior to LIGO's 5th science run, successfully cutting down the disturbance seen by LLO's suspended optics in the two most prominent seismic disturbance bands, the microseism (0.1-0.3Hz) and the anthropogenic (1-3Hz) bands, by a factor of a few to tens. The improvement in seismic isolation contributed directly to LLO's much improved duty cycle of 66.7% and LIGO's triple coincident duty cycle of 53%. We report the design, control scheme, and isolation performance of HEPI at LLO in this paper. Aided with this success, funding for incorporating HEPI into the LIGO Hanford Observatory was approved and installation is currently underway.

description: Layered, non-centrosymmetric, heavy element PbTaSe2 is found to be superconducting. We report its electronic properties accompanied by electronic structure calculations. Specific heat, electrical resistivity and magnetic susceptibility measurements indicate that PbTaSe2 is a moderately coupled, type-II BCS superconductor (Tc = 3.72 K, Ginzburg-Landau parameter Kappa = 14) with an electronphonon coupling constant of Lambda_ep = 0.74. Electronic structure calculations reveal a single bulk 3D Dirac cone at the K point of the Brillouin Zone derived exclusively from its hexagonal Pb layer; it is similar to the feature found in graphene except there is a 0.8 eV gap opened by spin-orbit coupling. The combination of large spin-orbit coupling and lack of inversion symmetry also results in large Rashba splitting on the order of tenths of eV.

Large Scale Anomalies in the Microwave Background: Causation and Correlation

description: Most treatments of large scale anomalies in the microwave sky are a posteriori, with unquantified look-elsewhere effects. We contrast these with physical models of specific inhomogeneities in the early universe which then generate apparent anomalies. Physical models predict correlations between candidate anomalies, as well as the corresponding signals in polarization and large scale structure, reducing the impact of cosmic variance. We compute the apparent spatial curvature associated with large-scale inhomogeneities and show that it is typically small, allowing for a self-consistent analysis. Focussing on a single large plane wave inhomogeneity, we show this can contribute to low-l mode alignment and odd-even asymmetry in the power spectra and the best fit inhomogeneity accounts for a significant part of the claimed odd-even asymmetry. We argue that this approach can be generalized to provide a more quantitative assessment of potential large scale anomalies in the universe.

Determination of compositeness of the Lambda(1405) resonance from its radiative decay

description: The radiative decay of $Λ(1405)$ is investigated from the viewpoint of compositeness, which corresponds to the amount of two-body states composing resonances as well as bound states. For a $\bar{K}N (I=0)$ bound state without couplings to other channels, we establish a relation between the radiative decay width and the compositeness. Especially the radiative decay width of the bound state is proportional to the compositeness. Applying the formulation to $Λ(1405)$, we observe that the decay to $Λγ$ is dominated by the $K^{-}p$ component inside $Λ(1405)$, because in this decay $π^{+} Σ^{-}$ and $π^{-} Σ^{+}$ strongly cancel each other and the $πΣ$ component can contribute to the $Λγ$ decay only through the slight isospin breaking. This means that the decay $Λ(1405) \to Λγ$ is suitable for the study of the $\bar{K} N$ component in $Λ(1405)$. Fixing the $Λ(1405)$-$πΣ$ coupling constant from the usual decay of $Λ(1405) \to πΣ$, we show a relation between the absolute value of the $\bar{K} N$ compositeness for $Λ(1405)$ and the radiative decay width of $Λ(1405) \to Λγ$ and $Σ^{0} γ$, and we find that large decay width to $Λγ$ implies large $\bar{K}N$ compositeness for $Λ(1405)$. By using the "experimental" data on the radiative decay widths, which is based on an isobar model fitting of the $K^{-}p$ atom data, we estimate the $\bar{K}N$ compositeness for $Λ(1405)$. We also discuss the pole position dependence of our relation on the $Λ(1405)$ radiative decay width and the effects of the two-pole structure for $Λ(1405)$.

description: Motivated by recent experiments [Lee et al. Nature 498, 209 (2013)], we present here a detailed theoretical analysis of the Joule heating in current-carrying single-molecule junctions. By combining the Landauer approach for quantum transport with ab initio calculations, we show how the heating in the electrodes of a molecular junction is determined by its electronic structure. In particular, we show that in general the heat is not equally dissipated in both electrodes of the junction and it depends on the bias polarity (or equivalently on the current direction). These heating asymmetries are intimately related to the thermopower of the junction as both these quantities are governed by very similar principles. We illustrate these ideas by analyzing single-molecule junctions based on benzene derivatives with different anchoring groups. The close relation between heat dissipation and thermopower provides general strategies for exploring fundamental phenomena such as the Peltier effect or the impact of quantum interference effects on the Joule heating of molecular transport junctions.

Effect of financial and non-financial incentives, organisational culture and leadership styles on employee motivation and how the impact influences the performance of employees: Empirical evidence from the Nigerian public sector
Creators: name: Aluko, Henry
Publisher: name: Cardiff Metropolitan University

description: The Nigerian government have applied several reforms to develop the performance of its workforce; in particular, how best to motivate the public sector employees to achieve this end. This research examines employees' judgement with regards to the financial and non-financial incentives, organisational culture and leadership styles impact on the motivation of employees and how their motivation becomes an attitude and reason for not performing well. A subsidiary commitment of the research is to study the relevance of Western theories of motivation for employee motivation in the Nigerian public sector. Several studies were developed from the Western countries where the theories of motivation originated from, whereas reduced study have been carried out in underdeveloped African nations like Nigeria. The foregoing shows that the Nigerian public sector lacks any strategy to harness the motivation of its staff, whether through financial or non-financial incentives, leadership styles, organisational culture as expressed by the theories of motivation. A hypothetical model of the relationships between these factors provided a conceptual framework that guided the research. A mixed research approach using both questionnaires (quantitative) and interviews (qualitative) was employed to enable the researcher's understanding of the processes by which the factors considered impinged on public sector employees' motivation. The study findings justify and establish the relevance of the Western motivation theories to the Nigerian public sector, and besides skills and technological expertise, this study proves that leadership styles, financial and non-financial incentives as well as organisational culture are drivers of employee motivation while motivation is a major driver of employee performance. This study key contribution is that organisational culture significantly impacts on employees' motivation negatively based on its bureaucratic nature in the way it envelopes the policies, rules and regulations, structures and processes that determines both financial and non-financial incentives, leadership approach and job variables. Therefore, it is imperative that the Nigerian public sector give keen attention to the development of a robust and flexible culture that will strategically develop and support the implementation of a performance driven employees' motivation that takes into account the finding from this study. Future research recommendation revealed through this study emphasises further investigation into the significance of organisational culture in the management of organisational policies, rules, regulations, structures and processes that determines key motivation factors so as to enhance both organisational and employee performance.

description: Observational studies are showing that the galaxy-wide stellar initial mass function are top-heavy in galaxies with high star-formation rates (SFRs). Calculating the integrated galactic stellar initial mass function (IGIMF) as a function of the SFR of a galaxy, it follows that galaxies which have or which formed with SFRs > 10 Msol yr^-1 would have a top-heavy IGIMF in excellent consistency with the observations. Consequently and in agreement with observations, elliptical galaxies would have higher M/L ratios as a result of the overabundance of stellar remnants compared to a stellar population that formed with an invariant canonical stellar initial mass function (IMF). For the Milky Way, the IGIMF yields very good agreement with the disk- and the bulge-IMF determinations. Our conclusions are that purely stochastic descriptions of star formation on the scales of a pc and above are falsified. Instead, star formation follows the laws, stated here as axioms, which define the IGIMF theory. We also find evidence that the power-law index beta of the embedded cluster mass function decreases with increasing SFR. We propose further tests of the IGIMF theory through counting massive stars in dwarf galaxies.

description: The posterior probability distribution for a set of model parameters encodes all that the data have to tell us in the context of a given model; it is the fundamental quantity for Bayesian parameter estimation. In order to infer the posterior probability distribution we have to decide how to explore parameter space. Here we compare three prescriptions for how parameter space is navigated, discussing their relative merits. We consider Metropolis-Hasting sampling, nested sampling and affine-invariant ensemble MCMC sampling. We focus on their performance on toy-model Gaussian likelihoods and on a real-world cosmological data set. We outline the sampling algorithms themselves and elaborate on performance diagnostics such as convergence time, scope for parallelisation, dimensional scaling, requisite tunings and suitability for non-Gaussian distributions. We find that nested sampling delivers high-fidelity estimates for posterior statistics at low computational cost, and should be adopted in favour of Metropolis-Hastings in many cases. Affine-invariant MCMC is competitive when computing clusters can be utilised for massive parallelisation. Affine-invariant MCMC and existing extensions to nested sampling naturally probe multi-modal and curving distributions.

description: We describe here the first experimental realization of a heat interferometer, thermal counterpart of the well-known superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID). These findings demonstrate, on the first place, the existence of phase-dependent heat transport in Josephson-based superconducting circuits and, on the second place, open the way to novel ways of mastering heat at the nanoscale. Combining the use of external magnetic fields for phase biasing and different Josephson junction architectures we show here that a number of heat interference patterns can be obtained. The experimental realization of these architectures, besides being relevant from a fundamental physics point of view, might find important technological application as building blocks of phase-coherent quantum thermal circuits. In particular, the performance of two different heat rectifying devices is analyzed.

Phase diagram of the spin-1 Heisenberg model with three-site interactions on the square lattice

description: We study the spin S=1 antiferromagnetic Heisenberg model on the square lattice with, in addition to the nearest-neighbor interaction, a three-site interaction of the form (S_i S_j)*(S_j S_k) + h.c.. This interaction appears naturally in a strong coupling exansion of the two-orbital, half-filled Hubbard model. For spin 1/2, this model reduces to a Heisenberg model with bilinear interactions up to third neighbors, with a second-neighbor interaction twice as large the third-neighbor one, a very frustrated model with an infinite family of helical classical ground states in a large parameter range. Using a variety of analytical and numerical methods, we show that the spin-1 case is also very frustrated, and that its phase diagram is even richer, with possibly the succession of seven different phases as a function of the ratio of the three-site interaction to the bilinear one. The phases are either purely magnetic phases with collinear order, or of mixed magnetic and quadrupolar character with helical order.

Subjects: Transport assay

description: FFN206 (FFN= False Fluorescent Neurotrasmitter) is a fluorescent assay developed in intact cells for monoamine uptake. Compound FFN206 is a fluorescent SLC18A1/SLC18A2 substrate which was developed and allowed functional examination of VMAT1 and VMAT2 in cell culture, using fluorescence microscopy or microplate reader. It crosses the plasma membrane and accumulates into vesicles by SLC18A1 or SLC18A2 transport. SLC18A2 is a transporter protein expressed on vesicular membranes for the monoamines (dopamine, serotonin, norepinephrine, and histamine). It is expressed in the monoaminergic neurons throughout the CNS. It functions as antiporter (2H+ out/1 monoamine in) essential for monoamine uptake into vesicles.
Long-Range triplet Josephson Current Modulated by the Interface Magnetization Texture

description: We have investigated the Josephson coupling between two s-wave superconductors separated by the ferromagnetic trilayers with noncollinear magnetization. We find that the long-range triplet critical current will oscillate with the strength of the exchange field and the thickness of the interface layer, when the interface magnetizations are orthogonal to the central magnetization. This feature is induced by the spatial oscillations of the spin-triplet state |\uparrow\downarrow>+|\downarrow\uparrow> in the interface layer. Moreover, the critical current can exhibit a characteristic nonmonotonic behavior, when the misalignment angle between interface magnetization and central ferromagnet increases from 0 to π/2. This peculiar behavior will take place under the condition that the original state of the junction with the parallel magnetizations is the πstate.

description: As climate change increases the risk of large-scale wildfires, wildfire ignitions from electric power lines are a growing concern. To mitigate the wildfire ignition risk, many electric utilities de-energize power lines to prevent electric faults and failures. These preemptive power shutoffs are effective in reducing ignitions, but they could result in wide-scale power outages. Advanced technology, such as networked microgrids, can help reduce the size of the resulting power outages; however, even microgrid technology might not be sufficient to supply power to everyone, thus forcing hard questions about how to prioritize the provision of power among customers. In this paper, we present an optimization problem that configures networked microgrids to manage wildfire risk while maximizing the power served to customers; however, rather than simply maximizing the amount of power served in kilowatts, our formulation also considers the ability of customers to cope with power outages, as measured by social vulnerability, and it discourages the disconnection of particularly vulnerable customer groups. To test our model, we leverage a synthetic but realistic distribution feeder, along with publicly available social vulnerability indices and satellite-based wildfire risk map data, to quantify the parameters in our optimal decision-making model. Our case study results demonstrate the benefits of networked microgrids in limiting load shed and promoting equity during scenarios with high wildfire risk.

description: We have investigated the spin and orbital magnetic moments of Fe in FePt nanoparticles in the $L$1$_{0}$-ordered phase coated with SiO$_{2}$ by x-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and x-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) measurements at the Fe $L_{\rm 2,3}$ absorption edges. Using XMCD sum rules, we evaluated the ratio of the orbital magnetic moment ($M_{\rm orb}$) to the spin magnetic moment ($M_{\rm spin}$) of Fe to be $M_{\rm orb}/M_{\rm spin}$ = 0.08. This $M_{\rm orb}/M_{\rm spin}$ value is comparable to the value (0.09) obtained for FePt nanoparticles prepared by gas phase condensation, and is larger than the values ($\sim$0.05) obtained for FePt thin films, indicating a high degree of $L$1$_{0}$ order. The hysteretic behavior of the FePt component of the magnetization was measured by XMCD. The magnetic coercivity ($H_{\rm c}$) was found to be as large as 1.8 T at room temperature, $\sim$3 times larger than the thin film value and $\sim$50 times larger than that of the gas phase condensed nanoparticles. The hysteresis curve is well explained by the Stoner-Wohlfarth model for non-interacting single-domain nanoparticles with the $H_{\rm c}$ distributed from 1 T to 5 T.

description: In $κ$-Minkowski spacetime, the coordinates are Lie algebraic elements such that time and space coordinates do not commute, whereas space coordinates commute each other. The non-commutativity is proportional to a Planck-length-scale constant $κ^{-1}$, which is a universal constant other than the light velocity under the $κ$-Poincare transformation. In this sense, the spacetime has a structure called as "Doubly Special Relativity". Such a noncommutative structure is known to be realized by SO(1,4) generators in 4-dimensional de Sitter space. In this paper, we try to construct a nonommutative spacetime having commutative n-dimensional Minkowski spacetime based on $AdS_{n+1}$ space with SO(2,n) symmetry. We also study an invariant wave equation corresponding to the first Casimir invariant of this symmetry as a non-local field equation expected to yield finite loop amplitudes.

description: Many variants of RNA, DNA, and even proteins can be considered semiflexible polymers, where bending stiffness, as a type of energetic penalty, competes with attractive van der Waals forces in structure formation processes. Here, we systematically investigate the effect of the bending stiffness on ground-state conformations of a generic coarse-grained model for semiflexible polymers. This model possesses multiple transition barriers. Therefore, we employ advanced generalized-ensemble Monte Carlo methods to search for the lowest-energy conformations. As the formation of distinct versatile ground-state conformations, including compact globules, rod-like bundles, and toroids, strongly depends on the strength of the bending restraint, we also performed a detailed analysis of contact and distance maps.
Demonstrating the feasibility of probing the neutron star equation of state with second-generation gravitational wave detectors

description: Fisher matrix and related studies have suggested that with second-generation gravitational wave detectors, it may be possible to infer the equation of state of neutron stars using tidal effects in binary inspiral. Here we present the first fully Bayesian investigation of this problem. We simulate a realistic data analysis setting by performing a series of numerical experiments of binary neutron star signals hidden in detector noise, assuming the projected final design sensitivity of the Advanced LIGO- Virgo network. With an astrophysical distribution of events (in particular, uniform in co-moving volume), we find that only a few tens of detections will be required to arrive at strong constraints, even for some of the softest equations of state in the literature. Thus, direct gravitational wave detection will provide a unique probe of neutron star structure.

The trouble with twisting (2,0) theory

description: We consider a twisted version of the abelian $(2,0)$ theory placed upon a Lorenzian six-manifold with a product structure, $M_6=C \times M_4 $. This is done by an investigation of the free tensor multiplet on the level of equations of motion, where the problem of its formulation in Euclidean signature is circumvented by letting the time-like direction lie in the two-manifold $C$ and performing a topological twist along $M_4$ alone. A compactification on $C$ is shown to be necessary to enable the possibility of finding a topological field theory. The hypothetical twist along a Euclidean $C$ is argued to amount to the correct choice of linear combination of the two supercharges scalar on $M_4$. This procedure is expected and conjectured to result in a topological field theory, but we arrive at the surprising conclusion that this twisted theory contains no $Q$-exact and covariantly conserved stress tensor unless $M_4$ has vanishing curvature. This is to our knowledge a phenomenon which has not been observed before in topological field theories. In the literature, the setup of the twisting used here has been suggested as the origin of the conjectured AGT-correspondence, and our hope is that this work may somehow contribute to the understanding of it.
