Spectral analysis on interior transmission eigenvalues
Creators: name: Robbiano, Luc
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2013
Subjects: subject: Analysis of PDEs (math.AP)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: In this paper we prove some results on interior transmission eigenvalues. First, under rea- sonable assumptions, we prove that the spectrum is a discrete countable set and the generalized eigenfunctions spanned a dense space in the range of resolvent. This is a consequence of spectral theory of Hilbert-Schmidt operators. The main ingredient is to prove a smoothing property of resolvent. This allows to prove that a power of the resolvent is Hilbert-Schmidt. We obtain an estimate of the number of eigenvalues, counting with multiplicities, with modulus less than t2 when t is large. We prove also some estimate on the resolvent near the real axe when the square of the index of refraction is not real. Under some assumptions we obtain lower bound on the resolvent using the results obtained by Dencker, Sjöstrand and Zworski on the pseudospectra.

description: Background: The burgeoning field of biomedical research involving the mixture of human and animal materials has attracted significant ethical controversy. Due to the many dimensions of potential ethical conflict involved in this type of research, and the wide variety of research projects under discussion, it is difficult to obtain an overview of the ethical debate. This paper attempts to remedy this by providing a systematic review of ethical reasons in academic publications on human-animal chimera research. Methods: We conducted a systematic review of the ethical literature concerning human-animal chimeras based on the research question: "What ethical reasons have been given for or against conducting human-animal chimera research, and how have these reasons been treated in the ongoing debate?" Our search extends until the end of the year 2017, including MEDLINE, Embase, PhilPapers and EthxWeb databases, restricted to peer-reviewed journal publications in English. Papers containing ethical reasons were analyzed, and the reasons were coded according to whether they were endorsed, mentioned or rejected. Results: Four hundred thirty-one articles were retrieved by our search, and 88 were ultimately included and analyzed. Within these articles, we found 464 passages containing reasons for and against conducting human-animal chimera research. We classified these reasons into five categories and, within these, identified 12 broad and 31 narrow reason types. 15% of the retrieved passages contained reasons in favor of conducting chimera research (Category P), while 85% of the passages contained reasons against it. The reasons against conducting chimera research fell into four further categories: reasons concerning the creation of a chimera (Category A), its treatment (Category B), reasons referring to metaphysical or social issues resulting from its existence (Category C) and to potential downstream effects of chimera research (Category D). A significant proportion of identified passages (46%) fell under Category C. Conclusions: We hope that our results, in revealing the conceptual and argumentative structure of the debate and highlighting some its most notable tendencies and prominent positions, will facilitate continued discussion and provide a basis for the development of relevant policy and legislation.

description: Calcium orthophosphates (CaPs) are important in geology, biomineralization, animal metabolism and biomedicine, and constitute a structurally and chemically diverse class of minerals. In the case of dicalcium phosphates, ever since brushite (CaHPO4·2H2O, dicalcium phosphate dihydrate, DCPD) and monetite (CaHPO4, dicalcium phosphate, DCP) were first described in 19th century, the form with intermediary chemical formula CaHPO4·H2O (dicalcium phosphate monohydrate, DCPM) has remained elusive. Here, we report the synthesis and crystal structure determination of DCPM. This form of CaP is found to crystallize from amorphous calcium hydrogen phosphate (ACHP) in water-poor environments. The crystal structure of DCPM is determined to show a layered structure with a monoclinic symmetry. DCPM is metastable in water, but can be stabilized by organics, and has a higher alkalinity than DCP and DCPD. This study serves as an inspiration for the future exploration of DCPM’s potential role in biomineralization, or biomedical applications.
Fermion-antifermion mixing in gravitational fields

description: Mixing of fermion and antifermion states occurs in gravitational interactions, leading to non-conservation of fermion number above temperatures determined by the particle masses. We study the evolution of a $f\,,\bar{f}$ system and calculate the cross sections for the reactions $f\rightleftharpoons\bar{f}$. Their values are identical in both directions. However, if $\bar{f}$ changes quickly into a lighter antiparticle, then the reaction symmetry is broken, \emph{resulting in an increased production of matter over antimatter}.

Long-memory effects in linear-response models of Earth's temperature and implications for future global warming

description: A linearized energy-balance model for global temperature is formulated, featuring a scale-free long-range memory (LRM) response and stochastic forcing representing the influence on the ocean heat reservoir from atmospheric weather systems. The model is parametrized by an effective response strength, the stochastic forcing strength, and the memory exponent. The instrumental global surface temperature record and the deterministic component of the forcing are used to estimate these parameters by means of the maximum-likelihood method. The residual obtained by subtracting the deterministic solution from the observed record is analyzed as a noise process and shown to be consistent with a long-memory time-series model and inconsistent with a short-memory model. By decomposing the forcing record in contributions from solar, volcanic, and anthropogenic activity one can estimate the contribution of each to 20'th century global warming. The LRM model is applied with a reconstruction of the forcing for the last millennium to predict the large-scale features of northern hemisphere temperature reconstructions, and the analysis of the residual also clearly favors the LRM model on millennium time scale. The decomposition of the forcing shows that volcanic aerosols give a considerably greater contribution to the cooling during the Little Ice Age than the reduction in solar irradiance associated with the Maunder minimum in solar activity. The LRM model implies a transient climate response in agreement with IPCC AR4 projections, but the stronger response on longer time scales suggests to replace the notion of equilibrium climate sensitivity by a time-scale dependent sensitivity.

Modification of the MOOG spectral synthesis codes to account for Zeeman broadening of spectral lines

description: In an attempt to widen access to the study of magnetic fields in stellar astronomy, I present MOOGStokes, a version of the MOOG one-dimensional LTE radiative transfer code, overhauled to incorporate a Stokes vector treatment of polarized radiation through a magnetic medium. MOOGStokes is a suite of three complementary programs, which together can synthesize the disk-averaged emergent spectrum of a star with a magnetic field. The first element (a pre-processing script called CounterPoint) calculates for a given magnetic field strength, wavelength shifts and polarizations for the components of Zeeman sensitive lines. The second element (a MOOG driver called SynStokes derived from the existing MOOG driver Synth) uses the list of Zeeman shifted absorption lines together with the existing machinery of MOOG to synthesize the emergent spectrum at numerous locations across the stellar disk, accounting for stellar and magnetic field geometry. The third and final element (a post-processing script called DiskoBall) calculates the disk-averaged spectrum by weighting the individual emergent spectra by limb darkening and projected area, and applying the effects of Doppler broadening. All together, the MOOGStokes package allows users to synthesize emergent spectra of stars with magnetic fields in a familiar computational framework. MOOGStokes produces disk-averaged spectra for all Stokes vectors (I, Q, U, and V), normalized by the continuum. MOOGStokes agrees well with the predictions of INVERS10 a polarized radiative transfer code with a long history of use in the study of stellar magnetic fields. In the non-magnetic limit, MOOGStokes also agrees with the predictions of the scalar version of MOOG.

Die Reaktion auf neue Geschäftsmodelle, die zu einer massenhaften Nutzung von- und Zugangsvermittlung zu urheberrechtlich geschützten Inhalten im Internet beigetragen haben, ist dabei ein Quell der Bestrebungen. Denn Dienste wie YouTube, Google oder Facebook generieren ihre Wertschöpfung mittelbar über Inhalte Dritter während Urheber vor den Schwierigkeiten der Rechte- und Interessendurchsetzung im Internet stehen. Zur Schaffung eines funktionsfähigen Marktes in diesem Bereich sind daher in Titel IV des Richtlinienentwurfs Bestimmungen vorgesehen, welche der Stärkung von Rechteinhabern gegenüber Dienstanbietern dienen sollen. Bei den wohl umstrittensten dieser Vorschriften handelt es sich um das Leistungsschutzrecht von Presseverlegern, Artikel 15 DSM-RL, einerseits sowie um die Pflichten von Online-Diensteanbietern für bestimmte Nutzung von geschützten Inhalten, Artikel 17 DSM-RL, andererseits. Der Beitrag analysiert diese Vorschriften mit Blick darauf, ob und inwieweit sie dem intendierten Zweck eines Interessenausgleichs zwischen den Rechteinhabern, Dienstanbietern und nicht zuletzt Nutzern gerecht werden und gleichsam mit dem sonstigen nationalen und europäischen Recht in Einklang stehen. Gleichsam werden mögliche Umsetzungsansätze aufgeworfen, welche insbesondere im Lichte des jüngsten Gesetzesentwurfs zur Umsetzung der DSM-RL in nationales Recht, als Stimulus dienen können.

description: We investigate adiabatic and non-adiabatic emission of single particles into an edge state using an analytically solvable dynamical scattering matrix model of an on-demand source. We compare adiabatic and non-adiabatic emissions by considering two geometries: a collider geometry where two emitters are coupled to two different edge states and a series geometry where two emitters are coupled to the same edge state. Most effects observed for adiabatic emitters also occur for non-adiabatic emitters. In particular this applies to effects arising due to the overlap of wave-packets colliding at a quantum point contact. Specifically we compare the Pauli peak (the fermionic analog of the bosonic Hong-Ou-Mandel dip) for the adiabatic and non-adiabatic collider and find them to be similar. In contrast we find a striking difference between the two operating conditions in the series geometry in which particles are emitted into the same edge state. Whereas the squared average charge current can be nullified for both operating conditions, the heat current can be made to vanish only with adiabatic emitters.

Quantum Monte Carlo study of nonequilibrium transport through a quantum dot coupled to normal and superconducting leads

Subjects: subject: Strongly Correlated Electrons (cond-mat.str-el)

description: We investigate the nonequilibrium phenomena through the quantum dot coupled to the normal and superconducting leads using a weak-coupling continuous-time Monte Carlo method. Calculating the time evolution of particle number, double occupancy, and pairing correlation at the quantum dot, we discuss how the system approaches the steady state. We also deduce the steady current through the quantum dot beyond the linear response region. It is clarified that the interaction decreases the current in the Kondo-singlet dominant region. On the other hand, when the quantum dot is tightly coupled to the superconducting lead, the current is increased by the introduction of the Coulomb interaction, which originates from the competition between the Kondo and proximity effects. Transient currents induced by the interaction quench are also addressed.

description: Here we present observations of 7 large Kuiper Belt Objects. From these observations, we extract a point source catalog with $\sim0.01"$ precision, and astrometry of our target Kuiper Belt Objects with $0.04-0.08"$ precision within that catalog. We have developed a new technique to predict the future occurrence of stellar occultations by Kuiper Belt Objects. The technique makes use of a maximum likelihood approach which determines the best-fit adjustment to cataloged orbital elements of an object. Using simulations of a theoretical object, we discuss the merits and weaknesses of this technique compared to the commonly adopted ephemeris offset approach. We demonstrate that both methods suffer from separate weaknesses, and thus, together provide a fair assessment of the true uncertainty in a particular prediction. We present occultation predictions made by both methods for the 7 tracked objects, with dates as late as 2015. Finally, we discuss observations of three separate close passages of Quaoar to field stars, which reveal the accuracy of the element adjustment approach, and which also demonstrate the necessity of considering the uncertainty in stellar position when assessing potential occultations.

description: An analytical model that describes the interactive buckling of a thin-walled I-section strut under pure compression based on variational principles is presented. A formulation combining the Rayleigh--Ritz method and continuous displacement functions is used to derive a system of differential and integral equilibrium equations for the structural component. Numerical continuation reveals progressive cellular buckling (or snaking) arising from the nonlinear interaction between the weakly stable global buckling mode and the strongly stable local buckling mode. The resulting behaviour is highly unstable and when the model is extended to include geometric imperfections it compares excellently with some recently published experiments.

description: Magnetoresistance and magnetocaloric properties of polycrystalline HoRhGe have been studied. This compound orders antiferromagnetically with a Neel temperature (TN) of 5.5 K and undergoes a first order metamagnetic transition at 2 K. It shows a large negative magnetoresistance of 25% at TN, for a field of 50 kOe. However, at 2 K and in lower fields, the magnetoresistance is found to be positive with a magnitude of about 12%, which is attributed to the first order metamagnetic transition. The compound also shows large magnetocaloric effect near its Neel temperature. Field dependence of magnetic entropy change also reflects the change in the nature of magnetic transition as the field is increased. The value of magnetic entropy change (-ΔSM) is found to be 11.1 J/kg K for a field change of 50 kOe. Field dependence of magnetoresistance and magnetocaloric effect clearly shows the change in the order of the metamagnetic transition with increase in field.

description: The dS/CFT proposal of Anninos, Hartman, and Strominger relates quantum Vasiliev gravity in dS_4 to a large N vector theory in three dimensions. We use this proposal to compute the Wheeler-de Witt wave function of a universe having a particular topology at future infinity. This amplitude is found to grow rapidly with the topological complexity of the spatial slice; this is due to the plethora of states of the Chern-Simons theory that is needed to impose the singlet constraint. Various mechanisms are considered which might ameliorate this growth, but none seems completely satisfactory. We also study the topology dependence in Einstein gravity by computing the action of complex instantons; the wave function then depends on a choice of contour through the space of metrics. The most natural contour prescription leads to a growth with genus similar to the one found in Vasiliev theory, albeit with a different power of Newton's constant.

description: We have undertaken a survey for HI 21-cm absorption within the host galaxies of z ~ 1.2 - 1.5 radio sources, in the search of the cool neutral gas currently "missing" at z > 1. This deficit is believed to be due to the optical selection of high redshift objects biasing surveys towards sources of sufficient ultra-violet luminosity to ionise all of the gas in the surrounding galaxy. In order to avoid this bias, we have selected objects above blue magnitudes of B~20, indicating ultra-violet luminosities below the critical value above which 21-cm has never been detected. As a secondary requirement to the radio flux and faint optical magnitude, we shortlist targets with radio spectra suggestive of compact sources, in order to maximise the coverage of background emission. From this, we obtain one detection out of ten sources searched, which at z=1.278 is the third highest redshift detection of associated 21-cm absorption to date. Accounting for the spectra compromised by radio frequency interference, as well as various other possible pitfalls (reliable optical redshifts and turnover frequencies indicative of compact emission), we estimate a detection rate of ~30%, close to that expected for L_UV < 1e23 W/Hz sources.

title: Electrochemical Membrane Technologies for use in Energy Systems
titleType: Subtitle
Creators: name: Heat Pumping Technologies
Publisher: name: Heat Pump Center
Year: 2019

description: This article concerns the electrochemical compressor, which is a mass transport device capable of compressing
gases via a chemical process, rather than a mechanical process. Solid-state pumping for a variety of working
fluids is attainable through electrochemical processes in membranes. Similar principles that work to generate
electricity in fuel cells may also have practical applications in heat pumping and air conditioning, as they can
be exploited to reliably transfer selected gases from reservoirs of low concentration to those of high concentration.
In this article, we present two such technologies: electrochemical ammonia compression and electrochemical
dehumidification, as well as some of their potential uses. We present empirical findings, which detail
the performance of these technologies as well as strategies to use these technologies most effectively.

description: We report the temperature dependence of the transport critical current density (Jc) in textured Sr1-xKxFe2As2/Fe (Sr122) tapes fabricated by an ex situ powder-in-tube process. Critical currents were measured in magnetic fields up to 0-15 T and/or the temperature range 4.2-30 K by using a dc four-probe method. It was found that textured Sr122 tapes heat-treated at low temperatures showed higher transport Jc performance due to much improved intergrain connections. At temperatures of 20 K, easily obtained using a cryocooler, Jc reached ~ 10^4 A/cm^2 in self field, which is the highest transport value of ferropnictide wires and tapes reported so far. Magneto-optical imaging observations further revealed significant and well distributed global Jc at 20 K in our tapes. These results demonstrate that 122 type superconducting tapes are promising for high-field applications at around 20 K.

description: Core-collapse supernova remnants are the gaseous nebulae of galactic interstellar media (ISM) formed after the explosive death of massive stars. Their morphology and emission properties depend both on the surrounding circumstellar structure shaped by the stellar wind–ISM interaction of the progenitor star and on the local conditions of the ambient medium. In the warm phase of the Galactic plane $(⁠n≈1$ $cm^{−3}⁠, T≈8000K⁠)$, an organized magnetic field of strength $7$ $μG$ has profound consequences on the morphology of the wind bubble of massive stars at rest. In this paper, we show through 2.5D magnetohydrodynamical simulations, in the context of a Wolf–Rayet-evolving $35$ $M_⊙$ star, that it affects the development of its supernova remnant. When the supernova remnant reaches its middle age $(⁠15−20$ $kyr⁠)$, it adopts a tubular shape that results from the interaction between the isotropic supernova ejecta and the anisotropic, magnetized, shocked stellar progenitor bubble into which the supernova blast wave expands. Our calculations for non-thermal emission, i.e. radio synchrotron and inverse-Compton radiation, reveal that such supernova remnants can, due to projection effects, appear as rectangular objects in certain cases. This mechanism for shaping a supernova remnant is similar to the bipolar and elliptical planetary nebula production by wind–wind interaction in the low-mass regime of stellar evolution. If such a rectangular core-collapse supernova remnant is created, the progenitor star must not have been a runaway star. We propose that such a mechanism is at work in the shaping of the asymmetric core-collapse supernova remnant Puppis A.
Performance of Joint Channel and Physical Network Coding Based on Alamouti STBC

description: This work considers the protograph-coded physical network coding (PNC) based on Alamouti space-time block coding (STBC) over Nakagami-fading two-way relay channels, in which both the two sources and relay possess two antennas. We first propose a novel precoding scheme at the two sources so as to implement the iterative decoder efficiently at the relay. We further address a simplified updating rule of the log-likelihood-ratio (LLR) in such a decoder. Based on the simplified LLR-updating rule and Gaussian approximation, we analyze the theoretical bit-error-rate (BER) of the system, which is shown to be consistent with the decoding thresholds and simulated results. Moreover, the theoretical analysis has lower computational complexity than the protograph extrinsic information transfer (PEXIT) algorithm. Consequently, the analysis not only provides a simple way to evaluate the error performance but also facilitates the design of the joint channel-and-PNC (JCNC) in wireless communication scenarios.

An approximate NNNLO cross section for Higgs production in gluon fusion

description: An approximate expression for the inclusive Higgs production cross section in gluon fusion at NNNLO in QCD with finite top mass is presented. We argue that an accurate approximation can be constructed combining (and improving) the large- and small-z behaviours of the partonic cross section, which are both known to all orders from soft-gluon (Sudakov) and high-energy (BFKL) resummations, respectively. For a 125 GeV Higgs at LHC at 8 TeV, we find an increase of about 6-13% with respect to the NNLO inclusive cross section for the conventional scale μ_R=m_H/2, suggesting that higher order QCD corrections might be underestimated by presently available results. We also find a significant reduction of the scale uncertainty.

description: The ion funnel is one of the key components for transferring ions from higher pressure into vacuum. While known for over twenty years and thoroughly analyzed by mathematical means and simulations, its working principle might be difficult to understand sometimes. In this work, we propose a simple thought experiment based on the centripetal force ions experience inside the ion funnel, which offers a simplistic explanation for the focusing force in an ion funnel. Our centripetal force model can predict the proportionalities of the resulting pseudopotential and should be a good didactical tool.

description: The use of the vapor compression cycle (VCC) has resulted in unpredicted environmental damage such as depleting
the ozone layer and promoting global warming when its refrigerant leaks into the atmosphere. One way
to tackle this problem is to develop cooling cycles using solid-state refrigerants: the caloric materials. The main
characteristic of caloric materials is that it is possible to induce a phase transition in solid phase with the application
of an external field, which translates in an adiabatic temperature increase or an isothermal entropy change. In this
work, we present the main steps to use this caloric effect for cooling and two system integration possibilities for
elastocaloric cooling systems.

description: We present a detailed study of the evolution of GMCs in a galactic disc simulation. We follow individual GMCs (defined in our simulations by a total column density criterion), including their level of star formation, from their formation to dispersal. We find the evolution of GMCs is highly complex. GMCs often form from a combination of smaller clouds and ambient ISM, and similarly disperse by splitting into a number of smaller clouds and ambient ISM. However some clouds emerge as the result of the disruption of a more massive GMC, rather than from the assembly of smaller clouds. Likewise in some cases, clouds accrete onto more massive clouds rather than disperse. Because of the difficulty of determining a precursor or successor of a given GMC, determining GMC histories and lifetimes is highly non-trivial. Using a definition relating to the continuous evolution of a cloud, we obtain lifetimes typically of 4-25 Myr for >10^5 M$_{\odot}$ GMCs, over which time the star formation efficiency is about 1 %. We also relate the lifetime of GMCs to their crossing time. We find that the crossing time is a reasonable measure of the actual lifetime of the cloud, although there is considerable scatter. The scatter is found to be unavoidable because of the complex and varied shapes and dynamics of the clouds. We study cloud dispersal in detail and find both stellar feedback and shear contribute to cloud disruption. We also demonstrate that GMCs do not behave as ridge clouds, rather massive spiral arm GMCs evolve into smaller clouds in inter-arm spurs.

description: An innovative underground thermal battery (UTB) can provide not only a stable heat sink or heat source for efficient
heat pump operation, but also a thermal energy storage to overcome the mismatch between intermittent renewable
power supply and fluctuating thermal demands of a building. This article introduces the recent developments of the
UTB, including concept design, lab tests, and modeling. Initial results indicate that the UTB has a potential to enable
both efficient air-conditioning and active demand side management without sacrificing the desired comfort condition
and convenience in the building.
Itinerant ferromagnetism with finite ranged interactions

description: Quantum fluctuations are of central importance in itinerant ferromagnets; in the case of the Stoner Hamiltonian, with contact interactions, they deliver a rich phase diagram featuring a first order ferromagnetic transition preempted by a spin spiral and a paired density wave. However, to date all analyses of fluctuation corrections neglect the finite ranged nature of the Coulomb interaction. We develop the formalism to consider the effects of fluctuations with a realistic screened Coulomb potential. The finite ranged interaction suppresses the tricritical point temperature of the first order ferromagnetic transition, bringing theory into line with experiment, whilst retaining the exotic spin spiral and paired density wave. In an ultracold atomic gas a finite ranged interaction damps the competing molecular instability, permitting the observation of ferromagnetic correlations.
