description: Our earths diminishing natural resources is at the forefront of scientific concern, where utilising energy sources readily available in nature has become the driving force for many fields of research. Noble metal plasmonic nanoparticles are a unique and promising class of material for light harvesting, capable of highly absorbing light and converting its energy in useful ways. Under appropriate conditions, these materials can strongly couple with light and surrounding materials, where light energy fed into the system is equally exchanged. Consequently, these systems allow the observation of energy transfer, sometimes termed ‘artificial photosynthesis’, along with the possible observation of quantum effects in ambient conditions, deeming them highly desirable. Unfortunately, due to their nanoscale size, the fabrication of such nanomaterials along with the conditions required to achieve strong coupling are extremely difficult to realise in scalable macroscopic systems, thus many efforts into optimising strongly coupled systems focus heavily on altering its optical components. This thesis investigates the strong coupling capabilities of plasmonic nanoparticles in strongly coupled systems, utilising wet chemistry to facilitate the observation of their fascinating physics. This thesis provides a comprehensive study of the strong coupling capabilities of plasmonic nanomaterials by investigating their implementation into various strong coupling designs. Further, it offers design freedoms for future strong coupling systems, whereby manipulation and control of the plasmonic components is shown.

description: In this paper we develop a computationally efficient, two-population, time-dependent Fokker-Plank approach in the two dimensions of energy and angular momentum to study the rates of tidal disruption events (TDEs), extreme mass ratio inspirals (EMRIs) and direct plunges occurring around massive black holes (MBHs) in galactic nuclei. We test our code by exploring a wide range of the astrophysically relevant parameter space, including MBH masses, galaxy central densities and inner density slopes. We find that mass segregation and, more in general, the time dependency of the distribution function regulate the event rate: TDEs always decline with time, whereas EMRIs and plunges reach a maximum and undergo a subsequent nearly exponential decay. Once suitably normalized, the rates associated to different choices of MBH mass and galaxy density overlap nearly perfectly. Based on this, we provide a simple scaling that allows to reproduce the time-dependent event rates for any MBH mass and underlying galactic nucleus. Although our peak rates are in general agreement with the literature relying on the steady-state (non-time dependent) assumption, those can be sustained on a timescale that strongly depends on the properties of the system. In particular this can be much shorter than a Gyr for relatively light MBHs residing in dense systems. This warns against using steady state models to compute global TDE, EMRI and plunge rates and calls for a more sophisticated, time dependent treatment of the problem.

QUANTITATIVE FOOD WEBS TO DETANGEL CO-LIMITATION AND GUIDE RESTORATION IN NATAL SALMON STREAMS
Creators: name: Jorgensen, John
Publisher: name: Washington State University
Year: 2023

description: The precipitous decline of anadromous salmonids across the Pacific Northwest is a consequence of anthropogenic changes to freshwater and marine environments. Massive efforts in recent decades to restore natal streams in the Columbia River Basin have taken place with the hope of correcting some of the anthropogenic degradations affecting freshwater life stages. The effectiveness of these restoration actions, however, remains equivocal and represents a fundamental gap in our knowledge and decision making. Recently critiques of effectiveness monitoring have argued for developing a food web approach. In this dissertation I use a trophic basis of production methodology to construct quantitative flow food webs to understand the effect of stream restoration on rearing salmonids. This ecosystem approach uses annual mass/balance calculations to construct energy flow, as well as estimates of food based carrying capacity for fish species. My dissertation consists of four chapters on the development and application of quantitative food webs based on a restoration of a spring ecosystem in north central Washington State (USA). Overall, my dissertation results provide strong evidence that restored riverine habitat can support significantly higher levels (266%) of annual fish production compared to un-restored conditions. However, results also show that invasive brook trout gained the most resource benefit, producing more annual accrued biomass than all target species combined. Using an empirical modelling approach, I simulated the potential carrying capacity gains if brook trout were selectively removed, gains ranged between 18-89%, depending on fish species. By developing this approach, researchers can now evaluate separate as well as additive effects of multiple restoration actions. The method produces both a diagnostic and effectiveness metric, allowing restoration practitioners the ability to chronologically prescribe multiple treatments based on priority limiting factors. Broad application of this quantitative food web approach would significantly improve our understanding of the ecological benefits of contrasting restoration actions aimed at improving freshwater ecosystems and the production of native fishes.

The Universe is Brighter in the Direction of Our Motion: Galaxy Counts and Fluxes are Consistent with the CMB Dipole

description: An observer moving with respect to the cosmic rest frame should observe a concentration and brightening of galaxies in the direction of motion and a spreading and dimming in the opposite direction. The velocity inferred from this dipole should match that of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) temperature dipole if galaxies are on average at rest with respect to the CMB rest frame. However, recent studies have claimed a many-fold enhancement of galaxy counts and flux in the direction of the solar motion compared to the CMB expectation, calling into question the standard cosmology. Here we show that the sky distribution and brightness of extragalactic radio sources are consistent with the CMB dipole in direction and velocity. We use the first epoch of the Very Large Array Sky Survey combined with the Rapid Australian Square Kilometer Array Pathfinder Continuum Survey to estimate the dipole via several different methods, and all show similar results. Typical fits find a $331^{+161}_{-107}$ km s$^{-1}$ velocity dipole with apex $(\ell,b) = (271^{+55}_{-58}, 56^{+13}_{-35})$ in Galactic coordinates from source counts and $399^{+264}_{-199}$ km s$^{-1}$ toward $(\ell,b) = (301^{+30}_{-30}, 43^{+19}_{-17})$ from radio fluxes. These are consistent with the CMB-solar velocity, 370 km s$^{-1}$ toward $(\ell,b) = (264, 48)$, and show that galaxies are on average at rest with respect to the rest frame of the early universe, as predicted by the canonical cosmology.

description: In this paper, a multi-lane multi-population microscopic model, which presents stop and go waves, is proposed to simulate traffic on a ring-road. Vehicles are divided between human-driven and autonomous vehicles (AV). Control strategies are designed with the ultimate goal of using a small number of AVs (less than 5\% penetration rate) to represent Lagrangian control actuators that can smooth the multilane traffic flow and dissipate the stop-and-go waves. This in turn may reduce fuel consumption and emissions. The lane-changing mechanism is based on three components that we treat as parameters in the model: safety, incentive and cool-down time. The choice of these parameters in the lane-change mechanism is critical to modeling traffic accurately, because different parameter values can lead to drastically different traffic behaviors. In particular, the number of lane-changes and the speed variance are highly affected by the choice of parameters. Despite this modeling issue, when using sufficiently simple and robust controllers for AVs, the stabilization of uniform flow steady-state is effective for any realistic value of the parameters, and ultimately bypasses the observed modeling issue. Our approach is based on accurate and rigorous mathematical models, which allows a limit procedure that is termed, in gas dynamic terminology, mean-field. In simple words, from increasing the human-driven population to infinity, a system of coupled ordinary and partial differential equations are obtained. Moreover, control problems also pass to the limit, allowing the design to be tackled at different scales.

description: We present a detailed real-space spin-polarized scanning tunneling microscopy (SP-STM) study of the magnetic domain structure of Gd(0001) films epitaxially grown on W(110). To find optimal preparation conditions, the influence of the substrate temperature during deposition and of the post-growth annealing temperature was investigated. Our results show that the lowest density of surface defects, such as step edges as well as screw and edge dislocations, is obtained for room temperature deposition and subsequent annealing at 900\,K. SP-STM data reveal small-sized magnetic domains at lower annealing temperatures, evidently caused by pinning at grain boundaries and other crystalline defects. The coverage-dependent magnetic domain structure of optimally prepared Gd films was systematically investigated. For low coverage up to about 80 atomic layers (AL) we observe $μ$m-sized domains separated by domain walls which are oriented approximately along the $[1{\bar 1}0]$ direction of the underlying W substrate. Above a critical film thicknesses $Θ_{\text{crit}} \approx (100 \pm 20)$\,AL, we identify stripe domains, indicative for a spin reorientation transition from in-plane to out-of-plane. In agreement with existing models, the periodicity of the stripe domains increases the further the coverage exceeds $Θ_{\text{crit}}$. While the orientation of the stripe domains is homogeneous over large distances just above $Θ_{\text{crit}}$, we find a characteristic zig-zag pattern at $Θ\gtrsim 200$\,AL and irregular stripe domains beyond 500\,AL. Intermediate minima and maxima of the magnetic signal indicate the nucleation of branching domains. The results are discussed in terms of various contributions to the total magnetic energy, such as the magneto-crystalline, the magneto-static, and the magneto-elastic energy density.

Remarks. There are two subspecies within Pachnoda ardoini Ruter, 1978. The nominal subspecies is considered rare and was described on the basis of both sexes specimens from BFO (=“Haute‒Volta”), RCI and RCA (Ruter 1978). Devecis (2001) recorded it to several localities of MLI. The Coli adult specimen was sampled by BT (Fig. 2a) in open forest (Fig. 2e) and fits well to this subspecies, including the shape of parameres (Fig. 3d). Legrand (2010) provided some comments on the mimetism among P. ardoini and other four species/subspecies of Pachnoda genus. Biodiversity information (abundance, habitat preference) was provided for GHA by Mudge et al. (2012) and Joly (2018). Biological and other ecological data are not available for this species.

Remarks. The species is polymorphic with six to eight known subspecies in Africa (Krajcik 2008a; Beinhundner 2017b; Schoolmeesters 2019). The separation of some of these subspecific taxa based only in different chromatic patterns is weak, fact that is reinforced by the overlap of some forms in some regions/countries (see distribution data in Beinhundner 2017b). Thus, I fully agree with the recommendation by Holm & Marais (1992) that “new descriptions are very inadvisable before the existing relationships and clines are fully understood” in several Pachnoda species, including P. cordata. The species seems common in Guinea-Bissau. For instance some adult specimens were collected on the fruit of street vendors in the Bissau town. The Bissorã, Coli and Susana adult specimens were sampled by CT (Fig. 2b) and the Béli adult specimen was sampled on tree flowers together with Discopeltis concinna Schaum, 1844 and Oxythyrea guttifera (Afzelius, 1817) in savanna (Fig. 2d). Some ecological and captive breeding data on this species were provided by Malec (2015). Bouyer et al. (2007) analysed the potential value of P. cordata and of other fruit-feeding Cetoniinae [e.g. P. marginata (Drury, 1773), P. tridentata (Olivier, 1789)] as bioindicators of ecosystem health. Biodiversity information (abundance, habitat preference) was provided for GHA by Mudge et al. (2012) and Joly (2018). Some biological and ecological data were provided by Holm & Marais (1992). It is a new species record for BIS, GAB, OIO and TOB Administrative Regions of Guinea-Bissau.

description: In this paper we shall consider an axionic Chern-Simons corrected $f(R)$ gravity theoretical framework, and we shall study the chirality of the generated primordial gravitational waves. Particularly, we shall consider two main axion models, the canonical misalignment axion model and the kinetic axion model, both of which provide an interesting particle phenomenology, in the presence of $R^2$ terms in the inflationary Lagrangian. The axion does not affect significantly the background evolution during the inflationary era, which is solely controlled by $R^2$ gravity. However, the due to the presence of the Chern-Simons term, the tensor perturbations are directly affected, and our aim is to reveal the extent of effects of the Chern-Simons term on the gravitational waves modes, for both the axion models. We aim to produce analytical descriptions of the primordial tensor modes behavior, and thus we solve analytically the evolution equations of the tensor modes, for a nearly de Sitter primordial evolution controlled by the $R^2$ gravity. We focus the analytical study on superhorizon and subhorizon modes. For the misalignment model, we were able to produce analytic solutions for both the subhorizon and superhorizon modes, in which case we found the behavior of the circular polarization function. Our results indicate that the produced tensor spectrum is strongly chiral. For the kinetic axion model though, analytic solutions are obtained only for the superhorizon modes. In order to have a grasp of the behavior of the chirality of the tensor modes, we studied the chirality of the superhorizon modes, however a more complete study is needed, which is impossible to do analytically though.

description: We report the observation of non-stationary Quasi-Periodic Pulsations (QPPs) in high-energy particles during the impulsive phase of an X4.8 flare on 2002 July 23 (SOL2002-07-23T00:35). The X4.8 flare was simultaneously measured by the Reuven Ramaty High Energy Solar Spectroscopic Imager, Nobeyama Radio Polarimeters, and Nobeyama Radioheliograph. The quasi-period of about 50 s, determined by the wavelet transform, is detected in the Gamma-ray line emission. Using the same method, a quasi-period of about 90 s is found in Gamma-ray continuum, hard X-ray (HXR) and radio emissions during almost the same time. Our observations suggest that the flare QPPs should be associated with energetic ions and nonthermal electrons that quasi-periodically accelerated by the repetitive magnetic reconnection. The different quasi-periods between Gamma-ray line and continuum/HXR/radio emissions indicate an apparent difference in acceleration or propagation between energetic ions and nonthermal electrons of this solar flare.

description: Satellite systems around giant planets are immersed in a region of complex resonant configurations. Understanding the role of satellite resonances contributes to comprehending the dynamical processes in planetary formation and posterior evolution. Our main goal is to analyse the resonant structure of small moons around Uranus and propose different scenarios able to describe the current configuration of these satellites. We focus our study on the external members of the regular satellites interior to Miranda, namely Rosalind, Cupid, Belinda, Perdita, Puck, and Mab, respectively. We use N-body integrations to perform dynamical maps to analyse their dynamics and proximity to two-body and three-body mean-motion resonances (MMR). We found a complicated web of low-order resonances amongst them. Employing analytical prescriptions, we analysed the evolution by gas drag and type-I migration in a circumplanetary disc (CPD) to explain different possible histories for these moons. We also model the tidal evolution of these satellites using some crude approximations and found possible paths that could lead to MMRs crossing between pairs of moons. Finally, our simulations show that each mechanism can generate significant satellite radial drift leading to possible resonant capture, depending on the distances and sizes.
Systematical study of $Ω_c$-like molecular states from interactions $Ξ_c^{(',*)}\bar{K}^{(*)}$ and $Ξ^{(*)}D^{(*)}$

description: In this work, the $Ω_c$-like molecular states are systematically investigated in a quasipotential Bethe-Salpeter equation approach. The relevant interactions $Ξ_c^{(*,')}\bar{K}^{(*)}$, $Ξ^{(*)}D^{(*)}$, and $Ω^{(*)}_c(π/η/ρ/ω)$ are described by light meson exchanges with the help of the effective Lagrangians with SU(3), chiral, and heavy quark symmetries. The obtained potential kernels of considered interactions are inserted into the quasipotential Bethe-Salpeter equation, and coupled-channel calculations are performed to find possible molecular states and its couplings to the channels considered. The results suggest that an isoscalar state can be produced from the $Ξ^*_c\bar{K}$ interaction with spin parity $3/2^-$, which can be related to state $Ω_c(3120)$. And its isoscalar partner is predicted with a dominant decay in the $Ω_c^*π$ channel. The isoscalar and isovector states with $1/2^-$ can be produced from the $Ξ'_c\bar{K}$ interaction with a threshold close to the mass of the $Ω_c(3050)$ and $Ω_c(3065)$. Their couplings to the $Ξ_c \bar{K}$ channel are very weak, and the isovector one has strong coupling to $Ω_cπ$. High precision measurement is helpful to confirm or search such molecular states. Experimental search of states with higher masses generated from interactions $Ξ^{(*,')}_c \bar{K}^*$ and $Ξ^* D^{(*)}$ are also suggested by the current results.

description: We use near-infrared photometry and astrometry from the VISTA Variables in the Via Lactea (VVV) survey to analyse microlensing events containing annual microlensing parallax information. These events are located in highly extincted and low-latitude regions of the Galactic bulge typically off-limits to optical microlensing surveys. We fit a catalog of $1959$ events previously found in the VVV and extract $21$ microlensing parallax candidates. The fitting is done using nested sampling to automatically characterise the multi-modal and degenerate posterior distributions of the annual microlensing parallax signal. We compute the probability density in lens mass-distance using the source proper motion and a Galactic model of disc and bulge deflectors. By comparing the expected flux from a main sequence lens to the baseline magnitude and blending parameter, we identify 4 candidates which have probability $> 50$% that the lens is dark. The strongest candidate corresponds to a nearby ($\approx0.78$ kpc), medium-mass ($1.46^{+1.13}_{-0.71} \ M_{\odot}$) dark remnant as lens. In the next strongest, the lens is located at heliocentric distance $\approx5.3$ kpc. It is a dark remnant with a mass of $1.63^{+1.15}_{-0.70} \ M_{\odot}$. Both of those candidates are most likely neutron stars, though possibly high-mass white dwarfs. The last two events may also be caused by dark remnants, though we are unable to rule out other possibilities because of limitations in the data.

description: We review our study of critical phenomena in superfluid $^4$He confined in nanoporous glasses. $^4$He in nanoporous media is an ideal ground to survey the quantum phase transition of bosons. In the present work, critical phenomena were examined using a newly developed hydrodynamic mechanical resonator. The critical exponent of superfluid density $ζ$ was found to be 1.0, in contrast to 0.67 in bulk $^4$He. We also demonstrate that the superfluid density is proportional to $|P - P_{\mathrm c}|^{ζ_p}$ with $ζ_p = 1$ at any finite temperatures. These are the decisive evidences for the 4D XY criticality, which should have been observed only at 0 K, at finite temperatures. We propose a mechanism of the quantum criticality at finite temperatures in terms of phase alignment among the nanoscale localized Bose condensates (LBECs) in nanopores. The proposed mechanism are discussed in the consideration of the correlation length compared with the quantum effect.

Transport and Localization in Quantum Walks on a Random Hierarchy of Barriers

description: We study transport within a spatially heterogeneous one-dimensional quantum walk with a combination of hierarchical and random barriers. Recent renormalization group calculations for a spatially disordered quantum walk with a regular hierarchy of barriers alone have shown a gradual decrease in transport but no localization for increasing (but finite) barrier sizes. In turn, it is well-known that extensive random disorder in the spatial barriers is sufficient to localize a quantum walk on the line. Here we show that adding only a sparse (sub-extensive) amount of randomness to a hierarchy of barriers is sufficient to induce localization such that transport ceases. Our numerical results suggest the existence of a localization transition for a combination of both, the strength of the regular barrier hierarchy at large enough randomness as well as the increasing randomness at sufficiently strong barriers in the hierarchy.

Cosmological Constraints on the Global Star Formation Law of Galaxies: Insights From Baryon Acoustic Oscillation Intensity Mapping

description: Originally proposed as a cosmological probe of the large-scale structure, line intensity mapping (LIM) also offers a unique window into the astrophysics of galaxy evolution. Adding to the astrophysical explorations of LIM technique that have traditionally focused on small, non-linear scales, we present a novel method to study the global star formation law using forthcoming data from large-scale baryonic acoustic oscillation (BAO) intensity mapping. Using the amplitude of the percent-level but scale-dependent bias induced by baryon fraction fluctuations on BAO scales, we show that combining auto- and cross-correlation power spectra of two (or more) LIM signals allows to probe the star formation law power index $\mathcal{N}$. We examine the prospect for mapping H$α$ and [OIII] lines across all scales, especially where imprints of the baryon fraction deviation exist, with space missions like SPHEREx. We show that although SPHEREx may only marginally probe $\mathcal{N}$ by accessing a modest number of large-scale modes in its 200 deg$^2$ deep survey, future infrared all-sky surveys reaching a comparable depth with an improved spectral resolution ($R \gtrsim 400$) are likely to constrain $\mathcal{N}$ to a precision of 10$-$30%, sufficient for distinguishing models with varying feedback assumptions, out to $z\sim4$ using BAO intensity mapping. Leveraging this effect, large, cosmic-variance-limited LIM surveys in the far future can scrutinize the physical connection between galaxy evolution and the large-scale cosmological environment, while performing stringent tests of the standard cosmological model.

description: The public goods game is a model of a society investing some assets and regaining a profit, although can also model biological populations. In the classic public goods game only two strategies compete: either cooperate or defect; a third strategy is often implemented to asses punishment, which is a mechanism to promote cooperation. The conditions of the game can be of a dynamical nature, therefore we study time-dependent effects such an as oscillation in the enhancement factor, which accounts for productivity changes over time. Furthermore, we continue to study time dependencies on the game with a delay on the punishment time. We conclude that both the oscillations on the productivity and the punishment delay concur in the detriment of cooperation.
