description: Inflationary predictions based on the linear theory of cosmological perturbations are related to the two point function of a (second quantized) real scalar free field during the accelerated stage. Such a two point function is finite, in contrast with its coincidence limit, which is divergent due to the ultraviolet divergences proper of field theory. We therefore argue that predictions of most of the inflationary models do not necessarily need a regularization scheme to leading order, i.e. tree level, which is required instead for non-linear corrections or calculations involving the energy-momentum tensor. We also discuss unpleasant features of the "would be" regularized spectrum obtained using the traditional fourth order adiabatic subtraction.

description: In Part I of this diptych, we outline the parallel mode of differential phase contrast (TEM-DPC), which uses real-space distortion of Fresnel images arising from electrostatic or magnetostatic fields to quantify the phase gradient of samples with some degree of structural contrast. We present an analysis methodology and the associated software tools for the TEM-DPC method and, using them together with numerical simulations, compare the technique to the widely used method of phase recovery based on the transport-of-intensity equation (TIE), thereby highlighting the relative advantages and limitations of each. The TEM-DPC technique is particularly suitable for \textit{in-situ} studies of samples with significant structural contrast and, as such, complements the TIE method since structural contrast usually hinders the latter, but is an essential feature that enables the former. In Part II of this work, we apply the theory and methodology presented to the analysis of experimental data to gain insight into two-dimensional magnetic phase transitions.

description: We present results of a photometric survey whose aim was to derive structural and astrophysical parameters for 42 open clusters. While our sample is definitively not representative of the total open cluster sample in the Galaxy, it does cover a wide range of cluster parameters and is uniform enough to allow for simple statistical considerations. BV wide-field CCD photometry was obtained for open clusters for which photometric, structural, and dynamical evolution parameters were determined. The limiting and core radii were determined by analyzing radial density profiles. The ages, reddenings, and distances were obtained from the solar metallicity isochrone fitting. The mass function was used to study the dynamical state of the systems, mass segregation effect and to estimate the total mass and number of cluster members. This study reports on the first determination of basic parameters for 11 out of 42 observed open clusters. The angular sizes for the majority of the observed clusters appear to be several times larger than the catalogue data indicate. The core and limiting cluster radii are correlated and the latter parameter is 3.2 times larger on average. The limiting radius increases with the cluster's mass, and both the limiting and core radii decrease in the course of dynamical evolution. For dynamically not advanced clusters, the mass function slope is similar to the universal IMF slope. For more evolved systems, the effect of evaporation of low-mass members is clearly visible. The initial mass segregation is present in all the observed young clusters, whereas the dynamical mass segregation appears in clusters older than about log(age)=8. Low-mass stars are deficient in the cores of clusters older than log(age)=8.5 and not younger than one relaxation time.

description: The torus concept as an essential structural component of active galactic nuclei (AGN) is generally accepted. Here, the situation is discussed when the torus "twisting" by the radiation or wind transforms it into a dipole toroidal vortex which in turn can be a source of matter replenishing the accretion disk. Thus emerging instability which can be responsible for quasar radiation flares accompanied by matter outbursts is also discussed. The "Matreshka" scheme for an obscuring vortex torus structure capable of explaining the AGN variability and evolution is proposed. The model parameters estimated numerically for the luminosity close to the Eddington limit agree well with the observations.

Invariance principles in the theory and computation of transport coefficients

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2021
Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In this work we elaborate on two recently discovered invariance principles, according to which transport coefficients are, to a large extent, independent of the microscopic definition of the densities and currents of the conserved quantities being transported (energy, momentum, mass, charge). The first such principle, gauge invariance, allows one to define a quantum adiabatic energy current from density-functional theory, from which the heat conductivity can be uniquely defined and computed using equilibrium ab initio molecular dynamics. When combined with a novel topological definition of atomic oxidation states, gauge invariance also sheds new light onto the mechanisms of charge transport in ionic conductors. The second principle, convective invariance, allows one to extend the analysis to multi-component systems. These invariance principles can be combined with new spectral analysis methods for the current time series to be fed into the Green-Kubo formula to obtain accurate estimates of transport coefficients from relatively short molecular dynamics simulations.

Year: 2010

description: The partition of cells in an aqueous polymer two-phase system composed of dextran T500, polyethylene glycol 8000 and buffer was studied. The effect of various immunoaffinity ligands on erythrocytes and lymphocytes was examined. Separations of rabbit and human erythrocytes were achieved using a combination of monoclonal mouse anti-NN glycophorin IgG with trypan blue-derivatized sheep anti-mouse F[sub c] fragment IgG as well as with a polyacrylamide-derivatized rabbit anti-human erythrocyte IgG (PAA-rochrbc). The PAA-rahrbc was able to completely resolve the two erythrocyte species in a countercurrent distribution (CCD) of 20 transfers. The lymphocyte separation problem was of two sub-lines of a transformed mouse lymphocyte, MBL-2(4.1) and MBL-2(2.6), which differ in the surface densities of an antigen recognized by a rat monoclonal IgG, YE1.48.10. Binding studies showed that at saturation MBL-2(4.1) bound 2.4 x 10⁶ molecules of YE1.48.10. per cell whereas MBL-2(2.6) bound 8 x 10⁵ molecules of YE1.48.10. per cell. This represented an extremely stringent separation problem compared to previous immunoaffinity erythrocyte separations. Attempts to separate the cells by immunoaffinity partition using the following combinations of ligands were not sufficiently successful to achieve useful separations: (a.) PEG 1900-derivatized YE1.48.10. (b.) PEG 1900-derivatized RG7/11.1, a mouse monoclonal IgG specific for rat F[sub c] fragment, and YE1.48.10. (c.) biotin-derivatized YE1.48.10. and PEG-derivatized avidin. However polyacrylamide grafted onto YE1.48.10. produced an effective immunoaffinity ligand, separating MBL-2(4.1) and MBL-2(2.6) on the basis of their antigenic differences. A separation was achieved in 60 CCD transfers.
title: Assessment of immediate and owner perceived recovery following three different premedication drugs in dogs undergoing anaesthesia for radiotherapy
Creators: name: Miller, Chris
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2021

description: Veterinary radiotherapy requires frequent, short duration general anaesthesia to perform the treatment. All anaesthetic drugs affect recovery to varying degrees and potential side effects of these drugs may impact both the animal and the owner’s perception of the treatment. Numerous studies have investigated the speed and quality of recovery following different anaesthetic drugs but few studies have assessed longer duration recovery from anaesthesia. The objectives of this thesis were to: (1) investigate immediate recovery speed and quality following three different premedication drugs; (2) investigate longer term recovery within the home environment following three different premedication drugs. The three premedication drugs investigated were alfentanil/atropine, butorphanol and medetomidine. Immediate recovery was assessed by video analysis using a self-designed scoring system. Anaesthetic data, such as propofol dose, end tidal sevoflurane concentration, duration and various time points, was also captured. Longer term recovery was assessed by the owners following treatment using a self-designed questionnaire. Comparisons from these outcomes between the different treatment groups were made and other factors were also analysed that could affect the outcomes. Speed of recovery was significantly affected by premedication. Premedication drug significantly affected time to extubation and the likelihood of dogs reaching sternal or standing position. Quality of immediate recovery was significantly affected by end tidal sevoflurane concentration. When assessing longer term recovery, premedication drug had a significant effect on reported behaviours. A reduction in activity and an increase in sleepwere reported more frequently following butorphanol. This study highlights the effect that premedication can have on both immediate and longer term recovery from anaesthesia in dogs undergoing radiotherapy.

description: This volume covers Legs 51, 52, and 53 of the cruises of the Drilling Vessel Glomar Challenger. Prior to Legs 51, 52, and 53 of the Deep Sea Drilling Project, four legs in the Atlantic Ocean (Legs 37, 45, 46, and 49) had been devoted primarily to basement drilling. The main objective of these legs, except for Leg 49, was to drill a deep hole in the oceanic crust in order to sample Layer 2 and, if possible, the upper levels of Layer 3. Although basement drilling in the Atlantic Ocean thus far has clearly established the basic composition and extrusive origin of at least the upper third of Layer 2, many important questions remain to be answered: 1) How does Layer 2 vary with depth? 2) What is the nature of Layer 3? 3) How is the oceanic crust constructed? 4) Does the petrology of Layer 2 evolve during construction and change with time? 5) What is the extent and nature of metamorphism in the oceanic crust? 6) What is the nature and extent of sea-water alteration in the crust? 7) What is the source of linear sea-floor magnetic anomalies? To study these problems, the Ocean Crust Panel of JOIDES recommended drilling a deep basement hole in old oceanic crust at the western end of the Atlantic Transect in the vicinity of the Bermuda Rise. The rationale for drilling in old crust was twofold. First, there was reason to believe that drilling would be easier because of infilling, thus increasing the chances for deep penetration; and second, by drilling old crust, we could study the effects of crustal aging. The Bermuda Rise was selected for the experiment since it lies on approximately the same flow line as the deep penetration holes drilled on Leg 45 and Leg 46 and because the basement is anomalously shallow for its age. On the basis of these recommendations, a series of holes was drilled during Legs 51 through 53 at the southern end of the Bermuda Rise. The Glomar Challenger left San Juan, Puerto Rico, on 20 November 1976 to begin Leg 51. The Glomar Challenger returned to San Juan on 17 January 1977 upon completion of the Leg 51 phase of drilling. The ship left San Juan on 22 January 1977 to begin Leg 52. Leg 52 was terminated in San Juan, Puerto Rico, on 8 March 1977. The Glomar Challenger left San Juan on 12 March 1977 to begin Leg 53. Leg 53 ended on 21 April 1977 at Balboa, The Canal Zone.

description: Context: Planets outside our solar system transiting their host star, i. e. those with an orbital inclination near 90 degree, are of special interest to derive physical properties of extrasolar planets. With the knowledge of the host star's physical parameters, the planetary radius can be determined. Combined with spectroscopic observations the mass and therefore the density can be derived from Doppler-measurements. Depending on the brightness of the host star, additional information, e. g. about the spin-orbit alignment between the host star and planetary orbit, can be obtained. Aims: The last few years have witnessed a growing success of transit surveys. Among other surveys, the MACHO project provided nine potential transiting planets, several of them with relatively bright parent stars. The photometric signature of a transit event is, however, insufficient to confirm the planetary nature of the faint companion. The aim of this paper therefore is a determination of the spectroscopic parameters of the host stars as well as a dynamical mass determination through Doppler-measurements. Methods: We have obtained follow-up high-resolution spectra for five stars selected from the MACHO sample, which are consistent with transits of low-luminosity objects. Radial velocities have been determined by means of cross-correlation with model spectra. The MACHO light curves have been compared to simulations based on the physical parameters of the system derived from the radial velocities and spectral analyses. Aims: We show that all transit light curves of the exoplanet candidates analysed in this work can be explained by eclipses of stellar objects, hence none of the five transiting objects is a planet.

description: This paper presents an interaction model adapted to mixed reality environments known as IRVO (Interacting with Real and Virtual Objects). IRVO aims at modeling the interaction between one or more users and the Mixed Reality system by representing explicitly the objects and tools involved and their relationship. IRVO covers the design phase of the life cycle and models the intended use of the system. In a first part, we present a brief review of related HCI models. The second part is devoted to the IRVO model, its notation and some examples. In the third part, we present how IRVO is used for designing applications and in particular we show how this model can be integrated in a Model-Based Approach (CoCSys) which is currently designed at our lab.

description: We have measured the nuclear transparency of the A(e,e' pi^+) process in ^{2}H,^{12}C, ^{27}Al, ^{63}Cu and ^{197}Au targets. These measurements were performed at the Jefferson Laboratory over a four momentum transfer squared range Q^2 = 1.1 - 4.7 (GeV/c)^2. The nuclear transparency was extracted as the super-ratio of $(σ_A/σ_H)$ from data to a model of pion-electroproduction from nuclei without pi-N final state interactions. The Q^2 and atomic number dependence of the nuclear transparency both show deviations from traditional nuclear physics expectations, and are consistent with calculations that include the quantum chromodynamical phenomenon of color transparency.

description: The statistics of giant arcs and large separation lensed quasars provide powerful constraints for the parameters of the underlying cosmological model. So far, most investigations have been carried out using pure dark matter simulations. Here we present a recipe for including the effects of baryon cooling (i.e. large galaxy formation) in dark matter N-body simulations that is consistent with observations of massive galaxies. Then we quantitatively compare lensing with and without applying this baryon correction to the pure dark matter case. Including the baryon correction significantly increases the frequency of giant arcs and lensed quasars, particularly on scales of 10 arcsec and smaller: the overall frequency of multiple images increases by about 25% for source redshifts between z_s = 1.5 and 7.5 and splittings larger than about 3 arcsec. The baryon rearrangement also slightly increases the fraction of quadruple images over doubles.

Double helicity asymmetry (A_LL) of pi0 production in polarized pp collisions is used to constrain Delta g. In this report, preliminary results of A_LL of pi0 in pp collisions at sqrt(s) = 62.4 GeV measured by PHENIX experiment in 2006 is presented. It can probe higer x region than the previously reported pi0 A_LL at sqrt(s) = 200 GeV thanks to the lower center of mass energy.

description: We consider a non-critical five dimensional string setup which could provide a dual description of QCD in the limit of large number of colors and flavors. The model corresponds to N_c color D3-branes and N_f D4/anti D4-brane pairs supporting flavor degrees of freedom. The matching of the string model spectrum with the dual field theory one is considered. We discuss the consequences of the possible matching of the gravity modes with the light glueballs and the interpretation of the brane spectrum in Yang-Mills and QCD.

description: The time dependent entropy (or Leipnik's entropy) of harmonic and damped harmonic oscillators is extensively investigated by using time dependent wave function obtained by the Feynman path integral method. Our results for simple harmonic oscillator are in agrement with the literature. However, the joint entropy of damped harmonic oscillator shows remarkable discontinuity with time for certain values of damping factor. According to the results, the envelop of the joint entropy curve increases with time monotonically. This results is the general properties of the envelop of the joint entropy curve for quantum systems.

description: We discuss the problem of the bias of the Internal Linear Combination (ILC) CMB map and show that it is closely related to the coefficient of cross-correlation K(l) of the true CMB and the foreground for each multipole l. We present analysis of the cross-correlation for the WMAP ILC quadrupole and octupole from the first (ILC(I)) and the third (ILC(III)) year data releases and show that these correlations are about -0.52-0.6. Analysing 10^4 Monte Carlo simulations of the random Gaussian CMB signals, we show that the distribution function for the corresponding coefficient of the cross-correlation has a polynomial shape P(K,l)\propto(1-K^2)^(l-1). We show that the most probable value of the cross-correlation coefficient of the ILC and foreground quadrupole has two extrema at K ~= +/-0.58$. Thus, the ILC(III) quadrupole represents the most probable value of the coefficient K. We analyze the problem of debiasing of the ILC CMB and pointed out that reconstruction of the bias seems to be very problematic due to statistical uncertainties. In addition, instability of the debiasing illuminates itself for the quadrupole and octupole components through the flip-effect, when the even (l+m) modes can be reconstructed with significant error. This error manifests itself as opposite, in respect to the true sign of even low multipole modes, and leads to significant changes of the coefficient of cross-correlation with the foreground. We show that the CMB realizations, whose the sign of quadrupole (2,0) component is negative (and the same, as for all the foregrounds), the corresponding probability to get the positive sign after implementation of the ILC method is about 40%.

We exhibit four different attacks that reach this bound, which shows that this bound is tight. Finally, we compare the secret key rate obtained with this new bound to the homodyne rate.

key resources

description: The GE Academy project is overall aimed at developing and implementing a coherent and high-quality capacity-building programme on gender equality in research and innovation, based on state-of-the-art knowledge and expertise in the field of gender equality and to provide tailor-made material. To pursuit this general aim, Work Package 2 (Content management) includes a specific task (T2.2), titled “Pooling topical knowledge on GE in research: inventory of key resources”, whose main aim is to provide the most relevant and up-to-date key resources and training materials needed to feed the training design process. The results of this task are presented in this document (D2.1 Inventory of key resources). The document has been conceived as a practical tool to support the design, implementation, and evaluation of gender training initiatives, allowing quick access to relevant information and data pertaining to gender equality in science. In particular, the tool has two main targets. On the one hand, GE Academy partners, especially for the first iteration cycle, to support script design and provide resources for handouts and training materials. On the other, trainers in the newly established Gender Trainers’ network, particularly in the second iteration cycle, give them access to state-of-the-art resources on the different topics addressed by the project. The tool will be periodically updated during the project lifespan. This introduction provides a brief description of the inventory (section 1), presents the activities conducted to develop it (section 2), and illustrates the criteria used to select the materials (section 3). The first version of the inventory has been delivered in September 2019. However, it was decided to keep the document updated throughout the project to respond to new needs and cover additional training areas. The first update was conducted in January 2020 and the second one in October 2020. This document includes the results of the third update, carried out in December 2021.
Effect of Thermal Conductivity, Compressive Viscosity and Radiative Cooling on the Phase Shift of Propagating Slow Waves with and without Heating-Cooling Imbalance

description: We study phase shifts of the propagating slow waves in coronal loops invoking the effects of thermal conductivity, compressive viscosity, radiative losses and heating-cooling imbalance. We derive a general dispersion relation and solve it to determine phase shifts of density and temperature perturbations relative to the velocity and their dependence on equilibrium parameters ($ρ_0$, $T_0$). We estimate phase difference ($Δϕ$) between density and temperature perturbations and its dependence on $ρ_0$ and $T_0$. The effect of viscosity on the phase shifts was found negligible. The role of radiative losses along with h/c imbalance for chosen specific heating function ($H(ρ, T) \propto ρ^{-0.5} T^{-3}$) in determining phase shifts, is found to be significant for the high density and low temperature loops. The h/c imbalance can increase the phase difference ($Δϕ\approx 140^\circ$) for low temperature loops compared to the constant heating case ($Δϕ\approx 30^\circ$). We derive a general expression for the polytropic index. We find that in the presence of thermal conduction alone, the polytropic index remains close to its classical value for all the considered $ρ_0$ and $T_0$. However, it reduces to a value $1.2$ when loop density is decreased by an order of magnitude compared to its normal coronal value. We find that the inclusion of radiative losses, with or without h/c imbalance, cannot explain the observed polytropic index. The thermal ratio ($d$) needs to be enhanced by an order of magnitude, in order to explain its observed value $1.1 \pm 0.02$ in the solar loops. We also explore the role of different heating functions for typical coronal parameters and found that although the polytropic index remains close to its classical value, the phase difference is highly dependent on the form of heating function (The abstract is restructured for arxiv).

description: L’écrit est un canal de communication qui fait partie de la vie quotidienne. Les enjeux de la maîtrise de la lecture sont multiples, que ce soit pour la scolarité ou dans la vie personnelle et professionnelle. L’élève va devoir maîtriser la lecture jusqu’à pouvoir dégager, de façon autonome, le sens de ce qui est lu. Pour ce faire, il va développer simultanément des compétences et mécanismes qu’il enrichira tout au long de sa scolarité. La littérature scientifique sur l’apprentissage de la lecture des élèves au développement typique met l’accent sur la nécessité d’enseigner la conscience phonologique, les correspondances graphèmes-phonèmes et la fluidité. La compréhension écrite doit également faire l’objet d’un enseignement spécifique. Certaines recherches montrent également qu’un enseignement explicite et systématique favorise l’acquisition des compétences nécessaires en lecture. Ce mémoire s’inscrit dans un contexte d’école inclusive. Il a pour but de développer une intervention adaptée aux diverses difficultés d’une élève de 6H et d’en évaluer les effets, sur la base d’un devis quasi-expérimental à cas unique. Cette élève rencontre des difficultés persistantes et globales en lecture, ce qui impacte l’ensemble des apprentissages. Afin d’évaluer les effets de l’intervention, des tests créés pour cette recherche et des tests standardisés ont été réalisés avant, pendant et après celle-ci. L’intervention mise en place s’est appuyée simultanément sur un outil d’aide au décodage, un dispositif de lecture répétée guidée et un enseignement de certaines stratégies de compréhension. Les résultats obtenus sont encourageants. Compte tenu des difficultés rencontrées par l’élève depuis plusieurs années, les progrès constatés ne peuvent pas être entièrement attribués au seul temps qui passe. Les dispositifs mis en oeuvre et leur alternance semblent avoir été favorable pour améliorer les stratégies de compréhension et la fluence en lecture.

description: The primary mechanism governing the emergence of near-room-temperature superconductivity in superhydrides is widely accepted to be the electron-phonon interaction. If so, the temperature dependent resistance, R(T), in these materials should obey the Bloch-Grüneisen equation, where the power-law exponent, p, should be equal to the exact integer value of p=5. On the other hand, there is a well-established theoretical result that pure electron-magnon interaction should be manifested by p=3, and p=2 is the value for pure electron-electron interaction. Here we aimed to reveal the type of charge carrier interaction in the layered transition metal dichalcogenides PdTe2, high-entropy alloy (ScZrNb)0.65[RhPd]0.35, and highly-compressed elemental boron and superhydrides H3S, LaHx, PrH9 and BaH12 by fitting the temperature dependent resistance of these materials to the Bloch-Grüneisen equation where the power-law exponent, p, is a free-fitting parameter. In the result, we showed that the high-entropy alloy (ScZrNb)0.65[RhPd]0.35 exhibited pure electron-phonon mediated superconductivity with p = 4.9. Unexpectedly we revealed that all studied superhydrides exhibit 1.8 < p < 3.2. This implies that it is unlikely that the electron-phonon interaction is the primary mechanism for the Cooper pairs formation in highly-compressed superhydrides and alternative pairing mechanisms, for instance, the electron-magnon, the electron-polaron, the electron-electron or other, should be considered as the origin for the emergence of near-room-temperature superconductivity in these compounds.

description: Process-induced defects are the leading cause of discrepancies between as-designed and as-manufactured additive manufacturing (AM) product behavior. Especially for metal lattices, the variations in the printed geometry cannot be neglected. Therefore, the evaluation of the influence of microstructural variability on their mechanical behavior is crucial for the quality assessment of the produced structures. Commonly, the as-manufactured geometry can be obtained by computed tomography (CT). However, to incorporate all process-induced defects into the numerical analysis is often computationally demanding. Thus, commonly this task is limited to a predefined set of considered variations, such as strut size or strut diameter. In this work, a CT-based binary random field is proposed to generate statistically equivalent geometries of periodic metal lattices. The proposed random field model in combination with the Finite Cell Method (FCM), an immersed boundary method, allows to efficiently evaluate the influence of the underlying microstructure on the variability of the mechanical behavior of AM products. Numerical analysis of two lattices manufactured at different scales shows an excellent agreement with experimental data. Furthermore, it provides a unique insight into the effects of the process on the occurring geometrical variations and final mechanical behavior.
One colorful resolution to the neutrino mass generation, three lepton flavor universality anomalies, and the Cabibbo angle anomaly

description: We propose a simple model to simultaneously explain four observed flavor anomalies while generating the neutrino mass at the one-loop level. Specifically, we address the measured anomalous magnetic dipole moments of the muon, $Δa_μ$ , and electron, $Δa_e$, the observed anomaly of $b\rightarrow s l^+ l^-$ in the $B$-meson decays, and the Cabibbo-angle anomaly. The model consists of four colorful new degrees of freedom: three scalar leptoquarks with the Standard Model quantum numbers $(3,3,-1/3),(3,2,1/6)$, and $(3,1,2/3)$, and one pair of down-quark-like vector fermion in $(3,1,-1/3)$. The baryon number is assumed to be conserved for simplicity. Phenomenologically viable solutions with the minimal number of real parameters can be found to accommodate all the above-mentioned anomalies and produce the approximate, close to $1σ$, neutrino oscillation pattern at the same time. From general consideration, the model robustly predicts: (1) neutrino mass is of the normal hierarchy type, and (2) ${\cal M}^ν_{ee}\lesssim 3\times 10^{-4}\mbox{eV}$. The possible UV origin to explain the flavor pattern of the found viable parameter space is briefly discussed. The parameter space can be well reproduced within a simple split fermion toy model.

Stellarators as a Fast Path to Fusion

Subjects: subject: Plasma Physics (physics.plasm-ph)

description: This paper is focused on three points: (1) Overcoming obstacles to tokamak power plants may require a configuration modification as large as that of a stellarator. (2) The demonstrated reliability of the computational design of stellarators should change fusion strategy. (3) Deployment of carbon-free energy sources is mandated by the thirty-year doubling of carbon dioxide emissions. Carbon-free energy options must be developed and fully deployed within a few doubling times. Unit size and cost of electricity are only relevant in comparison to alternative worldwide energy solutions. Intermittency, site specificity, waste management, and nuclear proliferation make fusion attractive as the basis for a carbon-free energy system compared to the alternatives. Nonetheless, fusion is not an option for deployment until a power plant has successfully operated. A critical element in a minimal time and risk program is the use of computational design as opposed to just extrapolation. Only the stellarator has an empirical demonstration of the reliable computational design through large changes in configuration properties and scale. The computational design of stellarators should proceed while the inventions necessary for a more tokamak-like power plant are sought. The cost of computational design is extremely small, but adequate time is required for the development of ideas that maximize attractiveness and minimize risk. Rapid power-plant construction without many intermediate steps may seem risky, but the price is small compared to the cost of trillions of dollars for each year's delay in addressing carbon-dioxide emissions.

description: Mesoporous silica nanoparticles have been reported as suitable drug carriers, but their successful delivery to target tissues following systemic administration remains a challenge. In the present work, ultrasound-induced inertial cavitation was evaluated as a mechanism to promote their extravasation in a flow-through tissue-mimicking agarose phantom. Two different ultrasound frequencies, 0.5 or 1.6 MHz, with pressures in the range 0.5-4 MPa were used to drive cavitation activity which was detected in real time. The optimal ultrasound conditions identified were employed to deliver dye-loaded nanoparticles as a model for drug-loaded nanocarriers, with the level of extravasation evaluated by fluorescence microscopy. The same nanoparticles were then co-injected with submicrometric polymeric cavitation nuclei as a means to promote cavitation activity and decrease the required in-situ acoustic pressure required to attain extravasation. The overall cavitation energy and penetration of the combination was compared to mesoporous silica nanoparticles alone. The results of the present work suggest that combining mesoporous silica nanocarriers and submcrometric cavitation nuclei may help enhance the extravasation of the nanocarrier, thus enabling subsequent sustained drug release to happen from those particles already embedded in the tumour tissue.

A Calibration system for the visible region with application to the NO₂ and BO₂ molecules

description: A method for calibrating high resolution laser spectra in the visible region has been developed and tested by taking ultra-high resolution molecular-beam spectra of NO₂ and sub-Doppler intermodulated fluorescence spectra of BO₂. The calibration system is based on an evacuated Fabry-Perot etalon whose cavity length is servo-locked to a stabilized HeNe laser; the absolute order number of the fringe at the HeNe frequency is known and the free spectral range can be determined with high accuracy. For absolute frequency measurements, the order number of a transmission fringe is obtained from a commercial wavemeter (whose accuracy is sufficient to identify the fringe); the absolute frequency is then the HeNe frequency multiplied by the ratio of the unknown' order number to the 'lock point' order number. Two K=0 subbands of the ²B₂ - ²A₁ electronic transition of NO₂ at 593.5 nm and 585.1 nm were chosen for analysis. The hyperfine transitions associated with rotational levels up to N"=10 were studied; although the system is highly perturbed, it was possible to obtain a series of meaningful constants describing the excited state. Values for the electron spin-rotation, Fermi contact and (I,S) dipolar parameters were obtained. Good agreement was found with literature values where they exist. Using the calibration system the small frequency splittings of the hyperfine intervals were measured accurate to ±1 MHz, as determined by comparison with earlier microwave work. Larger frequency intervals (between rotational levels) were found to be consistent to better than 10 MHz, thereby demonstrating the accuracy of the calibration system over small (a few MHz) and somewhat larger (~480 GHz) frequency ranges. The rotational analysis of BO₂ covered the region near 5400Å which allowed the (0,0) and 2[sup 1/sub 1] bands of the A²π[sub u] and X²π[sub g] transitions to be analyzed. The ground state constants obtained agreed well with previous results while the A²π[sub u] upper state exhibited two very interesting features: there is a K-resonance avoided crossing between the 010 ²Δ[sub 5/2] and ²Σ⁺ vibronic levels, while the ²Δ[sub 3/2] level lies entirely between the F₁ and F₂ spin components of the ²Σ⁻ vibronic level. These features have permitted the relative energies of all the vibronic levels of the 010 vibrational levels to be determined accurately in both electronic states. This is not normally possible in ²π -²π electronic transition. Both the v₂=0 and v₂=1 upper states are randomly perturbed by high lying ground state vibronic levels; this is an unexpected effect for such comparatively low energies, and would have gone unnoticed but for the extremely high precision of the data. Once again the calibration system proved its power, with rotational combination differences in bands with a common upper state, separated by more than 200 cm⁻¹, being reproduced, on average, to ± 0.0003 cm⁻¹.

description: Auscher, McIntosh and Tchamitchian studied the heat kernels of second order elliptic operators in divergence form with complex bounded measurable coefficients on $\mathbb{R}^n$. In particular, in the case when $n=2$ they obtained Gaussian upper bound estimates for the heat kernel without imposing further assumption on the coefficients. We study the fundamental solutions of the systems of second order parabolic equations in the divergence form with bounded, measurable, time-independent coefficients, and extend their results to the systems of parabolic equations.
