description: In the present work, we investigate the consequences of running gravitational coupling on the properties of the three-dimensional BTZ black hole. We take as starting point the functional form of gravitational coupling obtained in the context of asymptotic safe gravity theory. By using the standard scale setting relation where $k\sim ξ/r^n$, we compute the solution of the Einstein field equations. We get and analyze the horizon and the thermodynamic properties of this new class of black hole solutions. The impact of the scale--dependent parameter $ξ$ on the cosmological "constant" and metric functions are briefly discussed. We find that the null energy condition is also violated in this setup when scale-dependent gravity and Newton's coupling (coming from the asymptotic safety scenario of gravity) are simultaneously taken into account.

description: The purpose of this tutorial paper is to present a broad overview of photon-pair generation through the spontaneous four wave mixing (SFWM) process in optical fibers. Progress in optical fiber technology means that today we have at our disposal a wide variety of types of fiber, which together with the fact that SFWM uses two pump fields, implies a truly remarkable versatility in the resulting possible photon-pair properties. We discuss how the interplay of the frequency, transverse mode, and polarization degrees of freedom, the first linked to the latter two through fiber dispersion, leads to interesting entanglement properties both in individual degrees of freedom and also permitting hybrid and hyper entanglement in combinations of degrees of freedom. This tutorial covers methods for photon pair factorability, frequency tunability, and SFWM bandwidth control, the effect of frequency non-degenerate and counter-propagating pumps, as well methods for characterizing photon pairs generated in optical fibers.

description: The Sun is thought to be formed within a star cluster. The coexistence of $^{26}{\rm Al}$-rich and $^{26}{\rm Al}$-poor calcium--aluminum-rich inclusions indicates that a direct injection of $^{26}{\rm Al}$-rich materials from a nearby core-collapse supernova should occur in the first $10^5$ years of the solar system. Therefore, at least one core-collapse supernova should occur within the duration of star formation in the Sun's birth cluster. Here we revisit the number of stars in the Sun's birth cluster from the point of view of the probability for acquiring at least one core-collapse supernova within the finite duration of star formation in the birth cluster. We find that the number of stars in the birth cluster can be significantly larger than that previously considered, depending on the duration of star formation.

description: Interplanetary coronal mass ejections (ICMEs) have low proton beta across a broad range of heliocentric distances and a magnetic flux rope structure at large scales, making them a unique environment for studying solar wind fluctuations. Power spectra of magnetic field fluctuations in 28 ICMEs observed between 0.25 and 0.95 au by Solar Orbiter and Parker Solar Probe have been examined. At large scales, the spectra were dominated by power contained in the flux ropes. Subtraction of the background flux rope fields reduced the mean spectral index from $-5/3$ to $-3/2$ at $kd_i \leq 10^{-3}$. Rope subtraction also revealed shorter correlation lengths in the magnetic field. The spectral index was typically near $-5/3$ in the inertial range at all radial distances regardless of rope subtraction, and steepened to values consistently below $-3$ with transition to kinetic scales. The high-frequency break point terminating the inertial range evolved approximately linearly with radial distance and was closer in scale to the proton inertial length than the proton gyroscale, as expected for plasma at low proton beta. Magnetic compressibility at inertial scales did not show any significant correlation with radial distance, in contrast to the solar wind generally. In ICMEs, the distinctive spectral properties at injection scales appear mostly determined by the global flux rope structure while transition-kinetic properties are more influenced by the low proton beta; the intervening inertial range appears independent of both ICME features, indicative of a system-independent scaling of the turbulence.

description: Employing the linear sigma model, the effective masses of quasi-particle excitations are found to exhibit significant variations within the phase diagram, which has a critical point at non-zero chemical potential, where a first-order phase transition sets in. Soft-photon emission rates in lowest order display, for selected channels, a sensible dependence on the effective masses of the involved excitations and let us argue that they could map out the phase diagram.

description: The near-threshold pion-induced $ϕ$ production off nuclei has been studied in the kinematical conditions of the HADES experiment using a collision model based on the nuclear spectral function. Starting from the elementary reaction ${π^-}p \to ϕn$, absolute differential and integral cross sections for the production of $ϕ$ mesons off a light carbon and a heavy tungsten target have been calculated and compared to the recently reported experimental cross sections. The absolute cross section values are shown to be sensitive to the effective nuclear scalar $ϕ$ and neutron potentials while the transparency ratio is governed by the $ϕN$ absorption cross section. The experimental data are found to be consistent with an attractive $ϕ$-nucleus potential of $\approx$ -(50--100) MeV at normal nuclear matter density $ρ_0$ and an effective $ϕN$ absorption cross section of $\approx$ 12--25 mb. The extracted $ϕ$-nucleus potential is deeper than previous theoretical and experimental findings as well as those obtained in the present work within the ($tρ$) approximation with accounting for Pauli correlations from the spin-averaged $ϕ$-$p$ scattering length reported in a recent ALICE experiment.

description: We investigate experimentally the relationship between local structure and dynamical arrest in a quasi-2d colloidal model system which approximates hard discs. We introduce polydispersity to the system to suppress crystallisation. Upon compression, the increase in structural relaxation time is accompanied by the emergence of local hexagonal symmetry. Examining the dynamical heterogeneity of the system, we identify three types of motion : "zero-dimensional" corresponding to beta-relaxation, "one-dimensional" or stringlike motion and "two-dimensional" motion. The dynamic heterogeneity is correlated with the local order, that is to say locally hexagonal regions are more likely to be dynamically slow. However we find that lengthscales corresponding to dynamic heterogeneity and local structure do not appear to scale together approaching the glass transition.

description: Using three-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations, we further investigate the electron and ion acceleration from femtosecond laser-plasma peeler scheme which was proposed in our recent paper (Shen et al 2021 Phys. Rev. X 11 041002). In addition to the standard setup where a laser pulse impinges on an edge of a single tape target, two new variants of the target, i.e., a parallel tape and a cross tape target, were proposed, where strong surface plasma waves can also be efficiently excited at the front edges of the target. By using a tabletop 200 TW-class laser pulse, we observe generation of high-flux, well-collimated, superponderomotive electrons. More importantly, quasimonoenergetic proton beams can always be obtained in all the three setups, while with the single tape case, the obtained proton beam has the highest peak energy and narrowest spectrum.

description: The altermagnetism influences the electronic states allowing the presence of non-relativistic spinsplittings. Since altermagnetic spin-splitting is present along specific k-paths of the 3D Brillouin zone, we expect that the altermagnetic surface states will be present on specific surface orientations. We unveil the properties of the altermagnetic surface states considering three representative space groups: tetragonal, orthorhombic and hexagonal. We calculate the 2D projected Brillouin zone from the 3D Brillouin zone. We study the surfaces with their respective 2D Brillouin zones establishing where the spin-splittings with opposite sign merge annihilating the altermagnetic properties and on which surfaces the altermagnetism is preserved. Looking at the three principal surface orientations, we find that for several cases two surfaces are blind to the altermagnetism, while the altermagnetism survives for one surface orientation. Which surface preserves the altermagnetism depends also on the magnetic order. We show that an electric field orthogonal to the blind surface can activate the altermagnetism. Our results predict which surfaces to cleave in order to preserve altermagnetism in surfaces or interfaces and this paves the way to observe non-relativistic altermagnetic spin-splitting in thin films via spin-resolved ARPES and to interface the altermagnetism with other collective modes. We open future perspectives for the study of altermagnetic effects on the trivial and topological surface states.

description: Zambia is committed to meeting sustainable energy for all and contributing to climate change mitigation by scaling up clean energy. To facilitate this transition, Zambia has created an enabling environment for clean energy investment. However, these reforms are still to translate into increased investments. Through rapid evidence review and stakeholder interviews, this brief critically examines the efficiency of the interlinked energy project development stages and processes, and corresponding policies and regulations, plus the actors involved and their roles. We identified several institutional and structural factors related to the energy market that hinder the growth of clean energy. These include procedural challenges such as licencing and permitting and the absence of a truly open-access grid regime.

Mental Contrasting to Promote Health Behavior Change: Meta-Analysis of Behavioral Impact, Mechanisms, and Combined Effects with Implementation Intentions
Creators: name: Okoro, Florence
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2023

description:  Objective: Adherence to recommended health behaviors can save lives and reduce healthcare costs. This meta-analysis was performed to (a) evaluate the effectiveness of mental contrasting in promoting health behavior adherence, (b) quantify the impact of combining mental contrasting with implementation intentions on health behavior change, and (c) test the impact of mental contrasting on the specified mechanisms of change: energization, reality evaluations, adapting to negative feedback, future-reality associations, and obstacle-behavior associations. We also aligned behavioral responses to expectations of success. Methods: A total of 33 studies were included in this analysis (k=99). Cohen’s d formed the effect size for this study and 95% CI were computed around each mean. Results: MC (d=0.325, 95%CI =0.236 to 0.414) and MCII (d=0.359 95%CI= 0.259 to 0.458) yielded significant effect sizes. Also, when people engage in mental contrasting, it creates a nonconscious effect that triggers the specified mechanisms of change, leading to goal attainment. These effects are stronger when expectations of success are high and weaker when expectations of success are low. Conclusion: This analysis supports that mental contrasting is a beneficial tool for improving health behaviors and shows the mechanisms of mental contrasting exerts its effects. More studies are needed to further test the impact of MC and MCII on health behavior change.

description: Thin sheets deposited on a substrate and interfaces of correlated materials offer a plethora of routes towards the realization of exotic phases of matter. In these systems, inversion symmetry is broken which strongly affects the properties of possible instabilities -- in particular in the superconducting channel. By combining symmetry and energetic arguments, we derive general and experimentally accessible selection rules for Cooper instabilities in noncentrosymmetric systems which yield necessary and sufficient conditions for spontaneous time-reversal-symmetry breaking at the superconducting transition and constrain the orientation of the triplet vector. We discuss in detail the implications for various different materials. For instance, we conclude that the pairing state in thin layers of Sr$_2$RuO$_4$ must, as opposed to its bulk superconducting state, preserve time-reversal symmetry with its triplet vector being parallel to the plane of the system. All pairing states of this system allowed by the selection rules are predicted to display topological Majorana modes at dislocations or at the edge of the system. Applying our results to the LaAlO$_3$/SrTiO$_3$ heterostructures, we find that while the condensates of the (001) and (110) oriented interfaces must be time-reversal symmetric, spontaneous time-reversal-symmetry breaking can only occur for the less studied (111) interface. We also discuss the consequences for thin layers of URu$_2$Si$_2$ and UPt$_3$ as well as for single-layer FeSe. On a more general level, our considerations might serve as a design principle in the search for time-reversal-symmetry-breaking superconductivity in the absence of external magnetic fields.

description: Bearing in mind the negative impacts of intensive farming systems based on monoculture and heavy chemical usage, there is a need to find sustainable agroecological practices (AP). The introduction of legume crops through intercropping practices, mulching, and plant water extracts are among the non-chemical strategies for agroecological weed management. This study aimed to investigate the effect of different agroecological practices on weeds, soil microbial load, soil nutrients, and faba bean yield. The results showed that agroecological practices, especially the treatment including the combination of the three AP, significantly reduced weed density and biomass. The treatments improved the soil microbial load at the harvest stage, land equivalent ratio, faba bean yield, and yield components compared to the sole faba bean. However, no significant differences were recorded in the parameters related to the soil macronutrients. These findings suggest that the integration of intercropping, plant extracts and mulching practices could be an important ecological alternative for weed management associated with faba bean crops under low-input farming in the Meknes region, Morocco.

description: It has been known for many years that jet cross sections at hadron colliders exhibit double-logarithmic corrections starting at four-loop order, arising from two soft Glauber-gluon interactions between the two colliding partons. The resummation of these "super-leading logarithms" has been achieved only recently by means of a renormalization-group treatment in soft-collinear effective theory. We generalize this result and, within the same framework and for quark-initiated processes, resum the double logarithms arising in the presence of an arbitrary number of Glauber-gluon exchanges. For typical choices of parameters, the higher-order Glauber terms give rise to corrections which are expected to be numerically of the same magnitude as the super-leading logarithms. However, we find that the Glauber series for jet cross sections is dominated by the two-Glauber contribution, if the colliding partons are quarks or anti-quarks.

description: Increasing observations of white dwarf atmospheric pollution and disrupting planetesimals is driving increased studies into the fate of exo-asteroids around post-main-sequence stars. Planetesimal populations in the Solar System which are most likely to survive the violent post-main-sequence evolution, such as the Kuiper Belt, display a large binary fraction with a propensity for near equal-mass components and provide a previously unexplored population of planetesimals which are likely to exist around white dwarfs. Here we simulate the dynamical evolution of equal-mass binary asteroid systems around white dwarfs using the N-body integrator REBOUND for 1 Gyr. We confirm that giant planets are efficient at dissociating and ejecting binary asteroid systems on eccentric orbits, while Earth-mass planets are better at keeping planetesimals in their planetary systems. We find binary systems can be dissociated and ejected from their systems across Myr timescales, producing interstellar objects. We do not expect a population of free-floating binary asteroid systems as all ejected planetesimals are gravitationally unbound from each other. Further, we discuss the influence of asteroid binarity on the white dwarf pollution process and find there is little to no impact on how close a body can get to a star. However, the orbital evolution of binary asteroids changes the distribution of planetesimals available in a white dwarf planetary system to be further scattered onto white dwarf polluting orbits.

It is shown that for weak disorder there exist two types of the eigenstates: ordinary QNMs which are associated with a TR, and hidden QNMs which do not exhibit peaks in transmission or within the sample. The distinctive feature of the hidden modes is that unlike ordinary ones, their lifetimes remain constant in a wide range of the strength of disorder. In this range, the averaged ratio of the number of transmission peaks $N_{\rm res}$ to the number of QNMs $N_{\rm mod}$, $N_{\rm res}/N_{\rm mod}$, is insensitive to the type and degree of disorder and is close to the value $\sqrt{2/5}$, which we derive analytically in the weak-scattering approximation. The physical nature of the hidden modes is illustrated in simple examples with a few scatterers. The analogy between ordinary and hidden QNMs and the segregation of superradiant states and trapped modes is discussed. When the coupling to the environment is tuned by an external edge reflectors, the superradiace transition is reproduced. Hidden modes have been also found in microwave measurements in quasi-1D open disordered samples. The microwave measurements and modal analysis of transmission in the crossover to localization in quasi-1D systems give a ratio of $N_{\rm res}/N_{\rm mod}$ close to $\sqrt{2/5}$. In diffusive quasi-1D samples, however, $N_{\rm res}/N_{\rm mod}$ falls as the effective number of transmission eigenchannels $M$ increases. Once $N_{\rm mod}$ is divided by $M$, however, the ratio $N_{\rm res}/N_{\rm mod}$ is close to the ratio found in 1D.

description: The origin and radiation mechanisms of high energy emissions from pulsars have remained mysterious since their discovery. Here we report, based on a sample of 68 pulsars, observational connection of non-thermal X-ray emissions from pulsars with their timing properties and thermal emissions, which may provide some constraints on theoretical modeling. Besides strong correlations with the spin-down power $\dot{E}$ and the magnetic field strength at the light cylinder $B_{\rm lc}$, the non-thermal X-ray luminosity in 0.5 - 8 keV, $L_{\rm p}$, represented by the power-law component in the spectral model, is found to be strongly correlated with the highest possible electric field strength in the polar gap, $E_{\rm pc}$, of the pulsar. The spectral power index $Γ_{\rm p}$ of that power-law component is also found, for the first time in the literature, to strongly correlate with $\dot{E}$, $B_{\rm lc}$ and $E_{\rm pc}$, thanks to the large sample. In addition, we found that $L_{\rm p}$ can be well described by $L_{\rm p}\propto T^{5.96\pm 0.64}R^{2.24\pm 0.18}$, where $T$ and $R$ are the surface temperature and the emitting-region radius of the surface thermal emission, represented by the black-body component in the spectral model. $Γ_{\rm p}$, on the other hand, can be well described only when timing variables are included, and the relation is $Γ_{\rm p} = \log(T^{-5.8\pm 1.93}R^{-2.29\pm 0.85}P^{-1.19\pm 0.88}\dot{P}^{0.94\pm 0.44})$ plus a constant. These relations strongly suggest the existence of connections between surface thermal emission and electron-positron pair production in pulsar magnetospheres.

title: Real-time motion correction for Magnetic Resonance Imaging of the human brain at 7 Tesla
Creators: name: Winata, Steven
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2023

description: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) at the magnetic field strength of 7 Tesla (7T) enhances the quality of images available for research and clinical use. The improvements are however accompanied by novel challenges that are specific to ultra high-field MRI, which includes field strengths of 7T and above. Transmit B +1 field inhomogeneity is also higher, causing uneven signal intensity and linking to an uneven SAR distribution, which is also higher than at lower field strengths. The potential for higher spatial resolution imaging can also result in more pronounced motion artefacts. To address these issues in routine clinical use, motion correction strategies are required. This thesis describe the implementation of real-time, image-based Multislice Prospective Acquisition Correction (MS-PACE) technique for 7T MRI. Firstly, developmental work was done to establish a 7T-specific MS-PACE implementation. Pulse sequence and image reconstruction pipeline work was implemented using the Siemens Integrated Development Environment for Applications (IDEA) and Image Calculation Environment (ICE) framework. The technique was then validated in a task-based functional MRI study with healthy subjects. It was also integrated with parallel transmit imaging using slice-by-slice B+1 shimming. Validation experiments were performed in vivo using the Siemens MAGNETOM Terra 7T MRI scanner (Siemens Healthineers, Erlangen, Germany) at the Imaging Centre of Excellence (ICE).

description: SMC X-1 is a high-mass X-ray binary showing superorbital modulation with an unstable period. Previous monitoring shows three excursion events in 1996--1998, 2005--2007, and 2014--2016. The superorbital period drifts from >60 days to <40 days and then evolves back during an excursion. Here we report a new excursion event of SMC X-1 in 2020--2021, indicating that the superorbital modulation has an unpredictable, chaotic nature. We trace the spin-period evolution and find that the spin-up rate accelerated one year before the onset of this new excursion, which suggests a possible inside-out process connecting the spin-up acceleration and the superorbital excursion. This results in a deviation of the spin period residual, similar to the behaviour of the first excursion in 1996--1998. In further analysis of the pulse profile evolution, we find that the pulsed fraction shows a long-term evolution and may be connected to the superorbital excursion. These discoveries deepen the mystery of SMC X-1 because they cannot be solely interpreted by the warped disc model. Upcoming pointed observations and theoretical studies may improve our understanding of the detailed accretion mechanisms taking place.

description: The expectation that quantum computation might bring performance advantages in machine learning algorithms motivates the work on the quantum versions of artificial neural networks. In this study, we analyze the learning dynamics of a quantum classifier model that works as an open quantum system which is an alternative to the standard quantum circuit model. According to the obtained results, the model can be successfully trained with a gradient descent (GD) based algorithm. The fact that these optimization processes have been obtained with continuous dynamics, shows promise for the development of a differentiable activation function for the classifier model.

description: Mixture - modeling of mass spectra is an approach with many potential applications including peak detection and quantification, smoothing, de-noising, feature extraction and spectral signal compression. However, existing algorithms do not allow for automatic analyses of whole spectra. Therefore, despite highlighting potential advantages of mixture modeling of mass spectra of peptide/protein mixtures and some preliminary results presented in several papers, the mixture modeling approach was so far not developed to the stage enabling systematic comparisons with existing software packages for proteomic mass spectra analyses. In this paper we present an efficient algorithm for Gaussian mixture modeling of proteomic mass spectra of different types (e.g., MALDI-ToF profiling, MALDI-IMS). The main idea is automatic partitioning of protein mass spectral signal into fragments. The obtained fragments are separately decomposed into Gaussian mixture models. The parameters of the mixture models of fragments are then aggregated to form the mixture model of the whole spectrum. We compare the elaborated algorithm to existing algorithms for peak detection and we demonstrate improvements of peak detection efficiency obtained by using Gaussian mixture modeling. We also show applications of the elaborated algorithm to real proteomic datasets of low and high resolution.

description: Up to date, only 6 imines have been detected in the interstellar medium. The 3-carbon imine, 2-propanimine ((CH$_3$)$_2$C=NH), is predicted to be the structural isomer with the lowest energy in the C$_3$H$_7$N group, and appears to be a good candidate for astronomical searches. Unexpectedly, no microwave or millimeter wave spectrum is available for 2-propanimine. In this work, we provide the first high resolution millimeter wave spectrum of 2-propanimine and its analysis. With the guide of this laboratory measurement, we aim to search for 2-propanimine in two molecule-rich sources Sgr B2(N) and IRAS 16293-2422 using observations from the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA). Starting from a synthesized sample, we measured the spectrum of 2-propanimine from 50 to 500 GHz, and the ground state lines are successfully assigned and fitted using XIAM and ERHAM programs with the aid of theoretical calculations. The barriers to internal rotation of the two CH$_3$ tops are determined to be 531.956(64) cm$^{-1}$ and 465.013(26) cm$^{-1}$. These data are able to provide reliable prediction of transition frequencies for astronomical search. Although a few line matches exist, no confirmed detection of 2-propanimine has been found in the hot molecular core Sgr B2(N1S) and the Class 0 protostar IRAS 16293B. Upper-limits of its column density have been derived, and indicate that 2-propanimine is at least 18 times less abundant than methanimine in Sgr B2(N1S), and is at most 50-83 % of methanimine in IRAS 16293B.
