description: Il rischio è una componente intrinseca all’attività di impresa. Nessun imprenditore, nel momento in cui assume una decisione, è sicuro delle conseguenze che essa avrà sui risultati economici. Ed è proprio il rischio connesso agli esiti delle decisioni che è all’origine del profitto. Nel caso dell’agricoltura, il carattere biologico dell’attività aggiunge un ulteriore elemento di rischio alle decisioni degli imprenditori del settore. In particolare, l’andamento meteorologico durante la stagione colturale ha un ruolo preponderante, e il rischio meteorologico viene definito come la capacità delle aziende di gestire entrate, costi e performance finanziarie sensibili alle condizioni meteorologiche. L’incertezza meteorologica è sempre esistita, ma nel nuovo clima alcuni fenomeni negativi per l’agricoltura hanno aumentato la loro frequenza, mentre altri fenomeni si sono aggiunti alla lista: temperature massima e minima oltre soglie di criticità termica, pioggia massima giornaliera oltre soglie di criticità, vento con intensità al di sopra di soglie di criticità, grandine, fulmini e tempeste elettriche, alluvioni. Inoltre si verificano con più elevata frequenza sfasamenti stagionali, precipitazioni brevi ed intense e si ha un maggiore rischio di gelate tardive. Uno o un insieme di questi fenomeni concorrono, uniti alla frequenza di accadimento, a definire la possibilità di successo dell’agricoltore. In questo contesto l’AIAM propone, per il 22° convegno Nazionale, temi riguardanti lo studio del cambiamento climatico e dei rischi per l’agricoltura, quali sono gli strumenti per la previsione e le strategie per la prevenzione del rischio, e come i servizi agrometeorologici supportano gli agricoltori nella difesa integrata delle colture agrarie.

Overview

Maman disait de moi que j'étais un ange. Un ange tombé du ciel. Mais les anges qui tombent ne se relèvent jamais... Je connais l'enfer dans ses moindres recoins. Je pourrais le dessiner les yeux fermés. Je pourrais en parler pendant des heures. Si seulement j'avais quelqu'un à qui parler... Tama est une esclave. Elle n'a quasiment connu que la servitude. Prisonnière de bourreaux qui ignorent la pitié, elle sait pourtant rêver, aimer, espérer. Une rencontre va peut-être changer son destin... Frapper, toujours plus fort. Les détruire, les uns après les autres. Les tuer tous, jusqu'au dernier. Gabriel est un homme qui vit à l'écart du monde, avec pour seule compagnie ses démons et ses profondes meurtrissures. Un homme dangereux. Un matin, il découvre une inconnue qui a trouvé refuge chez lui. Une jeune femme blessée et amnésique. Qui est-elle ? D'où vient-elle ? Rappelle-toi qui tu es. Rappelle-toi, vite ! Parce que bientôt, tu seras morte.
Classical modelling of a bosonic sampler with photon collisions

Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: When the problem of boson sampling was first proposed, it was assumed that little or no photon collisions occur. However, modern experimental realizations rely on setups where collisions are quite common, i.e. the number of photons $M$ injected into the circuit is close to the number of detectors $N$. Here we present a classical algorithm that simulates a bosonic sampler: it calculates the probability of a given photon distribution at the interferometer outputs for a given distribution at the inputs. This algorithm is most effective in cases with multiple photon collisions, and in those cases it outperforms known algorithms.

description: BACKGROUND & AIMS: The mechanisms by which small-for-size liver grafts decrease survival remain unclear. This study investigated the role of free radicals in injury to small-for-size grafts.

METHODS: Rat liver explants were reduced in size ex vivo and transplanted into recipients of the same or greater body weight, resulting in a graft weight and standard liver weight of approximately 50% and 25%, respectively. A polyphenol extract from Camellia sinenesis (20 microg/mL) or an equivalent concentration of epicatechin was added to the storage solution and the lactated Ringer poststorage rinse solution.

RESULTS: Serum alanine aminotransferase release increased from approximately 60 U/L before implantation to 750, 1410, and 2520 U/L after full-size, half-size, and quarter-size transplantation, respectively. Total bilirubin increased slightly after transplantation of full-size and half-size grafts but increased 104-fold in quarter-size grafts. In quarter-size grafts, histological changes included necrosis, leukocyte infiltration, and eosinophilic inclusion body formation. Polyphenol treatment ameliorated these effects by > or =67%. Survival was 30% after transplantation of small-for-size grafts. After polyphenol treatment, survival increased to 70%. Free radicals in bile assessed by spin trapping and 4-hydroxynonenal adducts measured by immunohistochemistry were also greater in reduced-size grafts, an effect ameliorated by polyphenols. Epicatechin, a major polyphenol from Camellia sinenesis, also improved graft function and decreased enzyme release, histopathologic changes, and free radical formation.

CONCLUSIONS: Increased formation of free radicals occurs after transplantation of reduced-size livers, which contributes to graft dysfunction and failure. Plant polyphenols decrease liver graft injury and increase survival of small-for-size liver grafts, most likely by scavenging free radicals.
Any four orthogonal ququad-ququad maximally entangled states are locally markable

description: In quantum state discrimination, the observers are given a quantum system and aim to verify its state from the two or more possible target states. In the local quantum state marking as an extension of quantum state discrimination, there are N composite quantum systems and N possible orthogonal target quantum states. Distant Alice and Bob are asked to correctly mark the states of the given quantum systems via local operations and classical communication. Here we investigate the local state marking with N 4 ${\otimes}$ 4 systems, N=4, 5, 6, and 7. Therein, Alice and Bob allow for three local operations: measuring the local observable either $σ_{z}$ or $σ_{x}$ simultaneously, and entanglement swapping. It shows that, given arbitrary four 4 ${\otimes}$ 4 systems, Alice and Bob can perform the perfect local quantum state marking. In the N=5, 6 cases, they can perform perfect local state marking with specific target states. We conjecture the impossibility of the local quantum state marking given any seven target states since Alice and Bob cannot fulfill the task in the simplest case.

Growth Hormone Reduces the Severity of Fibrosis Associated With Chronic Intestinal Inflammation

description: BACKGROUND & AIMS: Growth hormone (GH) is used to treat growth delay in children with Crohn's disease and in patients with short-bowel syndrome. GH can increase collagen accumulation in intestinal mesenchymal cells, raising concern that GH therapy could exacerbate fibrosis in patients with Crohn's disease. We tested if GH treatment altered inflammation or fibrosis during chronic, experimental granulomatous enterocolitis.

METHODS: Ileum and cecum of Lewis rats were subserosally injected with peptidoglycan-polysaccharide (PG-APS) or control human serum albumin. At the onset of chronic PG-APS-induced inflammation, rats were administered recombinant human GH or vehicle for 14 days. Fibrosis and inflammation were quantified by gross gut disease scoring, histologic scoring, type I collagen, and cytokine expression in cecum. Abundance and localization of suppressor of cytokine signaling-3 (SOCS-3) messenger RNA and/or protein were determined in cecum. Effect of GH, cytokines, or PG-APS on SOCS-3 synthesis was measured in intestinal myofibroblasts. Myofibroblasts overexpressing SOCS-3 were used to test whether SOCS-3 inhibits collagen accumulation.

RESULTS: In PG-APS-injected rats, GH modestly reduced gross adhesions and mesenteric contractions, cecal fibrosis score, and collagen expression, but had no effect on intestinal inflammation. GH increased SOCS-3 messenger RNA and protein abundance in PG-APS rats and SOCS-3 messenger RNA was localized to the periphery of granulomas. GH in combination with cytokines or PG-APS, but not alone, induced SOCS-3 synthesis in intestinal myofibroblasts. Myofibroblasts overexpressing SOCS-3 showed reduced cytokine-induced collagen accumulation.

CONCLUSIONS: GH modestly reduces intestinal fibrosis associated with chronic experimental enterocolitis and stimulates expression of antifibrogenic SOCS-3, suggesting that GH therapy in inflammatory bowel disease should not exacerbate fibrosis.
Form factors of B, Bs -> eta, eta' and D, Ds -> eta, eta' transitions from QCD light-cone sum rules

description: In the framework of the QCD light-cone sum rules (LCSRs) we present the analysis of all $B, B_{s}\to η^{(\prime)}$ and $D, D_{s}\to η^{(\prime)}$ form factors ($f^+, f^0$ and $f^T$) by including $m_{η^{(\prime)}}^2$ corrections in the leading (up to the twist-four) and next-to-leading order (up to the twist-three) in QCD, and two-gluon contributions to the form factors at the leading twist. The SU(3)-flavour breaking corrections and the axial anomaly contributions to the distribution amplitudes are also consistently taken into account. The complete results for the $f^0$ and $f^T$ form factors of $B,B_s \to η^{(\prime)}$ and $D, D_{s} \to η^{(\prime)}$ relevant for processes like $B \to η^{(\prime)} τν_τ$ or $B_{s} \to η^{(\prime)} l^+ l^-$ are given for the first time, as well as the two-gluon contribution to the tensor form factors. The values obtained for the $f^+$ form factors are as follows: $f^+_{Bη}(0)= 0.168^{+0.042}_{-0.047}$, $|f^+_{B_sη}(0)|= 0.212^{+0.015}_{-0.013}$, $f^+_{Bη^\prime}(0)= 0.130^{+0.036}_{-0.032}$, $f^+_{B_sη^\prime}(0)= 0.252^{+0.023}_{-0.020}$ and $f^+_{Dη}(0)= 0.429^{+0.165}_{-0.141}$, $|f^+_{D_sη}(0)|= 0.495^{+0.030}_{-0.029}$, $f^+_{Dη^\prime}(0)= 0.292^{+0.113}_{-0.104}$, $f^+_{D_sη^\prime}(0)= 0.558^{+0.047}_{-0.045}$. Also phenomenological predictions for semileptonic $B, B_{s}\to η^{(\prime)}$ and $D, D_{s}\to η^{(\prime)}$ decay modes are given.

description: Topological states of matter such as quantum spin liquids (QSLs) are of great interest because of their remarkable predicted properties including protection of quantum information and the emergence of Majorana fermions. Such QSLs, however, have proven difficult to identify experimentally. The most promising approach is to study their exotic nature via the wave-vector and intensity dependence of their dynamical response in neutron scattering. A major search has centered on iridate materials which are proposed to realize the celebrated Kitaev model on a honeycomb lattice - a prototypical topological QSL system in two dimensions (2D). The difficulties of iridium for neutron measurements have, however, impeded progress significantly. Here we provide experimental evidence that a material based on ruthenium, α-RuCl$_3$ realizes the same Kitaev physics but is highly amenable to neutron investigation. Our measurements confirm the requisite strong spin-orbit coupling, and a low temperature magnetic order that matches the predicted phase proximate to the QSL. We also show that stacking faults, inherent to the highly 2D nature of the material, readily explain some puzzling results to date. Measurements of the dynamical response functions, especially at energies and temperatures above that where interlayer effects are manifest, are naturally accounted for in terms of deconfinement physics expected for QSLs. Via a comparison to the recently calculated dynamics from gauge flux excitations and Majorana fermions of the pure Kitaev model we propose α-RuCl$_3$ as the prime candidate for experimental realization of fractionalized Kitaev physics.

The Hedgehog Signalling Pathway in the Gastrointestinal Tract: Implications for Development, Homeostasis, and Disease

description: The hedgehog signalling pathway is critical to normal mammalian gastrointestinal development. Through epithelial-mesenchymal interactions, hedgehog signalling ensures appropriate axial patterning of the embryonic gut. Congenital abnormalities, including malrotations, anorectal malformations, and tracheoesophageal fistula are associated with germ-line mutations/deletion of genes encoding hedgehog signalling components in man and present in genetically engineered animal models. In adults, there is evidence that the pathway plays a role in maintaining stem cell populations in the stomach and directing epithelial cell differentiation in the intestine. Recent data implicate hedgehog signalling in the formation and maintenance of a number of malignancies, including those of the upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract and pancreas, in which abrogation of the pathway offers a novel therapeutic approach in animal models. Most recently, evidence in vitro indicates that there is a recapitulation of embryonic hedgehog signalling in acute epithelial injury and chronic inflammation, a finding with key implications for inflammatory disorders of the intestine, such as inflammatory bowel diseases. This pathway may provide an important link between chronic inflammation and cancer. We summarize the available evidence demonstrating that this developmental pathway has continuing roles in adult homeostasis and is dysregulated in malignancy and inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract.

description: BACKGROUND & AIMS: To explore the hypothesis that selective immune responses to distinct components of the intestinal microflora induce intestinal inflammation, we characterized disease kinetics and bacterial antigen-specific T-cell responses in ex germ-free interleukin 10 -/- and wild-type control mice monoassociated with Enterococcus faecalis , Escherichia coli , or Pseudomonas fluorescens .

METHODS: Colitis was measured by using blinded histological scores and spontaneous interleukin 12 secretion from colonic strip culture supernatants. Interferon gamma secretion was measured from mesenteric or caudal lymph node CD4 + T cells stimulated with bacterial lysate-pulsed antigen-presenting cells. Luminal bacterial concentrations were measured by culture and quantitative polymerase chain reaction.

RESULTS: Escherichia coli induced mild cecal inflammation after 3 weeks of monoassociation in interleukin 10 -/- mice. In contrast, Enterococcus faecalis-monoassociated interleukin 10 -/- mice developed distal colitis at 10-12 weeks that was progressively more severe and associated with duodenal inflammation and obstruction by 30 weeks. Neither bacterial strain induced inflammation in wild-type mice, and germ-free and Pseudomonas fluorescens-monoassociated interleukin 10 -/- mice remained disease free. CD4 + T cells from Enterococcus faecalis- or Escherichia coli-monoassociated interleukin 10 -/- mice selectively produced higher levels of interferon gamma and interleukin 4 when stimulated with antigen-presenting cells pulsed with the bacterial species that induced disease; these immune responses preceded the onset of histological inflammation in Enterococcus faecalis -monoassociated mice. Luminal bacterial concentrations did not explain regional differences in inflammation.

CONCLUSIONS: Different commensal bacterial species selectively initiate immune-mediated intestinal inflammation with distinctly different kinetics and anatomic distribution in the same host.

description: BACKGROUND & AIMS: In human and animal studies, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs have been associated with a reduced risk of colorectal neoplasia. Although the underlying mechanisms are unknown, inhibition of cyclooxygenase (COX), particularly COX-2, is thought to play a role. We conducted a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind trial to assess whether use of the selective COX-2 inhibitor rofecoxib would reduce the risk of colorectal adenomas.

METHODS: We randomized 2587 subjects with a recent history of histologically confirmed adenomas to receive daily placebo or 25 mg rofecoxib. Randomization was stratified by baseline use of cardioprotective aspirin. Colonoscopic follow-up evaluation was planned for 1 and 3 years after randomization. The primary end point was all adenomas diagnosed during 3 years' treatment. In a modified intent-to-treat analysis, we computed the relative risk of any adenoma after randomization, using Mantel-Haenszel statistics stratified by low-dose aspirin use at baseline.

RESULTS: Adenoma recurrence was less frequent for rofecoxib subjects than for those randomized to placebo (41% vs 55%; P < .0001; relative risk [RR], 0.76; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.69-0.83). Rofecoxib also conferred a reduction in risk of advanced adenomas (P < .01). The chemopreventive effect was more pronounced in the first year (RR, 0.65; 95% CI, 0.57-0.73) than in the subsequent 2 years (RR, 0.81; 95% CI, 0.71-0.93). As reported previously, rofecoxib was associated with increased risks of significant upper gastrointestinal events and serious thrombotic cardiovascular events.

CONCLUSIONS: In this randomized trial, rofecoxib significantly reduced the risk of colorectal adenomas, but also had serious toxicity.

description: The abelian sandpile model is a simple combinatorial model for critical behaviour which has the "abelian property" that the order in which we make moves does not change the final outcome of the game. This might seem to restrict the model's computational ability, but we show that, given three dimensions to work with, the sandpile is able to simulate a Turing machine. We use that to prove the undecidability of three halting problems.

description: We study the holographic entanglement measures such as the holographic mutual information, HMI, and the holographic entanglement of purification, EoP, in a holographic QCD model at finite temperature and zero chemical potential. This model can realize various types of phase transitions including crossover, first order and second order phase transitions. We use the HMI and EoP to probe the phase structure of this model and we find that at the critical temperature they can characterize the phase structure of the model. Moreover we obtain the critical exponent using the HMI and EoP.

description: We study the effect of a nearby planar wall on the propulsion of a phoretic Janus micro-swimmer driven by asymmetric reactions on its surface which absorb reactants and generate products. We show that the behaviour of these swimmers near a wall can be classified ${\bf based \ on \ whether}$ the swimmers are ${\bf mainly}$ absorbing or producing reaction solutes ${\bf and \ whether}$ their swimming directions are such that the inert or active face is at the front. We find that the wall-induced solute gradients always promote swimmer propulsion along the wall while the effect of hydrodynamics leads to re-orientation of the swimming direction away from the wall.

description: Spatio-temporal patterns of the spread of infectious diseases are commonly driven by environmental and ecological factors. This is particularly true for vector-borne diseases because vector populations can be strongly affected by host distribution as well as by climatic and landscape variables. Here, we aim to identify environmental drivers for bluetongue virus (BTV), the causative agent of a major vector-borne disease of ruminants that has emerged multiple times in Europe in recent decades. In order to determine the importance of climatic, landscape and host-related factors affecting BTV diffusion across Europe, we fitted different phylogeographic models to a dataset of 113 time-stamped and geo-referenced BTV genomes, representing multiple strains and serotypes. Diffusion models using continuous space revealed that terrestrial habitat below 300 m altitude, wind direction and higher livestock densities were associated with faster BTV movement. Results of discrete phylogeographic analysis involving generalized linear models broadly supported these findings, but varied considerably with the level of spatial partitioning. Contrary to common perception, we found no evidence for average temperature having a positive effect on BTV diffusion, though both methodological and biological reasons could be responsible for this result. Our study provides important insights into the drivers of BTV transmission at the landscape scale that could inform predictive models of viral spread and have implications for designing control strategies.

This illustrated study investigates the Indo-Islamic fighting men of South Asia from the 7th century AD to the Mughal conquest of the 16th century. From 1206, much of what is now India as well as parts of Pakistan, Bangladesh and Nepal were ruled by a succession of Islamic dynasties that had their origins in the Ghurid forces that conquered parts of northern India in the 12th century. Although it was never complete, the Islamic domination of this huge region also had a profound impact upon Islamic civilization as a whole, not least in military terms, being felt as far west as Africa. Within South Asia, the war-torn medieval centuries laid the foundations for the subsequent even more brilliant Mughal Empire. Featuring eight plates of superb artwork alongside carefully chosen photographs and illustrations, this study complements the same author's Medieval Indian Armies (1): Hindu, Buddhist and Jain. It describes and illustrates the Indo-Islamic forces operating in South Asia, from the Umayyad Caliphate's frontier in north-western India and Afghanistan in the late 7th century through to the Delhi Sultanate, the Sultanate of Bengal and the Bahmani Sultanate in the 15th and 16th centuries. David Nicolle explains how, with respect to arms, armour, fortification and transport both on land and at sea, the widely successful Muslim armies learned a great deal from their more numerous Hindu, Jain and Buddhist opponents. This was especially evident in developments such as the use of war-elephants and the adoption of lighter, often textile-based forms of protection such as 'soft armour' made of cotton. On the other side, there would be widespread adoption of more potent weapons such as the composite bow, and considerably more sophisticated systems of cavalry warfare, among the non-Islamic forces of the Indian sub-continent. Fully illustrated, this absorbing account casts light on many centuries of warfare in South Asia.

description: Functional abdominal pain syndrome (FAPS) differs from the other functional bowel disorders; it is less common, symptoms largely are unrelated to food intake and defecation, and it has higher comorbidity with psychiatric disorders. The etiology and pathophysiology are incompletely understood. Because FAPS likely represents a heterogeneous group of disorders, peripheral neuropathic pain mechanisms, alterations in endogenous pain modulation systems, or both may be involved in any one patient. The diagnosis of FAPS is made on the basis of positive symptom criteria and a longstanding history of symptoms; in the absence of alarm symptoms, an extensive diagnostic evaluation is not required. Management is based on a therapeutic physician-patient relationship and empirical treatment algorithms using various classes of centrally acting drugs, including antidepressants and anticonvulsants. The choice, dose, and combination of drugs are influenced by psychiatric comorbidities. Psychological treatment options include psychotherapy, relaxation techniques, and hypnosis. Refractory FAPS patients may benefit from a multidisciplinary pain clinic approach.

description: We provide answers to long-lasting questions in the puzzling behavior of fullerene-fullerene fusion: Why are the fusion barriers so exceptionally high and the fusion cross sections so extremely small? An ab initio nonadiabatic quantum molecular dynamics (NA-QMD) analysis of C$_{60}$+C$_{60}$ collisions reveals that the dominant excitation of an exceptionally "giant" oblate-prolate H$_g(1)$ mode plays the key role in answering both questions. From these microscopic calculations, a macroscopic collision model is derived, which reproduces the NA-QMD results. Moreover, it predicts analytically fusion barriers for different fullerene-fullerene combinations in excellent agreement with experiments.

description: BACKGROUND & AIMS: Compared with Caucasian Americans (CA), African Americans (AA) with chronic hepatitis C are less likely to respond to interferon-based antiviral therapy.

METHODS: In a multicenter treatment trial, 196 AA and 205 CA treatment-naive patients with hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype 1 infection were treated with peginterferon alfa-2a (180 microg/wk) and ribavirin (1000-1200 mg/day) for up to 48 weeks. The primary end point was sustained virologic response (SVR).

RESULTS: Baseline features were similar among AA and CA, including HCV-RNA levels and histologic severity, but AA had higher body weights, a higher prevalence of diabetes and hypertension, and lower alanine transaminase levels (P < .001 for all). The SVR rate was 28% in AA and 52% in CA (P < .0001). Racial differences in viral responses were evident as early as treatment week 4. Breakthrough viremia was more frequent among AA than CA (13% vs 6%, P = .05); relapse rates were comparable (32% vs 25%, P = .30). Proportions of patients with serious adverse events and dose modifications and discontinuations were similar among AA and CA. In multiple regression analyses, CA had a higher SVR rate than AA (relative risk, 1.96; 95% confidence interval, 1.48-2.60; P < .0001). Other factors independently associated with higher SVR included female sex, lower baseline HCV-RNA level, less hepatic fibrosis, and more peginterferon taken.

CONCLUSIONS: AA with chronic hepatitis C genotype 1 have lower rates of virologic response to peginterferon and ribavirin than CA. These differences are not explained by disease characteristics, baseline viral levels, or amount of medication taken.

description: Often, the first option is not the best. Self-control can allow humans and animals to improve resource intake under such conditions. Self-control in animals is often investigated using intertemporal choice tasks—choosing a smaller reward immediately or a larger reward after a delay. However, intertemporal choice tasks may underestimate self-control, as test subjects may not fully understand the task. Vertebrates show much greater apparent self-control in more natural foraging contexts and spatial discounting tasks than in intertemporal choice tasks. However, little is still known about self-control in invertebrates. Here, we investigate self-control in the black garden ant Lasius niger. We confront individual workers with a spatial discounting task, offering high-quality reward far from the nest and poor-quality reward closer to the nest. Most ants (69%) successfully ignored the closer, poorer reward in favour of the further, better one. However, when both the far and the close rewards were of the same quality, most ants (83%) chose the closer feeder, indicating that the ants were indeed exercising self-control, as opposed to a fixation on an already known food source.

description: A leading nonlinear effect in magnonics is the interaction that splits a high-frequency magnon into two low-frequency ones with conserved linear momentum. Here, we report experimental observation of nonlocal three-magnon scattering between spatially separated magnetic systems, viz. a CoFeB nanowire and an yttrium iron garnet (YIG) thin film. Above a certain threshold power of an applied microwave field, a CoFeB Kittel magnon splits into a pair of counter-propagating YIG magnons that induce voltage signals in Pt electrodes on each side, in excellent agreement with model calculations based on the interlayer dipolar interaction. The excited YIG magnon pairs reside mainly in the first excited (n=1) perpdendicular standing spin-wave mode. With increasing power, the n=1 magnons successively scatter into nodeless (n=0) magnons through a four-magnon process. Our results help to assess non-local scattering processes in magnonic circuits that may enable quantum entanglement between distant magnons for quantum information applications.

description: We theoretically and numerically investigate the properties of waveguides based on the Pancharatnam-Berry phase, obtained by a longitudinally periodic rotation of the optic axis in a transversely-twisted birefringent medium. In this paper we study the case where the period of the longitudinal modulation is chosen so that a net accumulation of geometric phase in propagation occurs. First, the interplay between different contributions to the optical potential is addressed. Second, a continuous evolution of the polarization structure of the quasi-modes is observed in the numerical simulations. We explain it by a combination of plane-wave-based models and gauge transformations. We discover that, beyond the longitudinal oscillations, the polarization of the quasi-mode also varies through its cross-section. The analogies with respect to charged particles moving in a magnetic field are outlined.

On the flat galactic rotational curves in $f(\mathcal{R})$ gravity

description: A mysterious dark matter is supposed to exist in the galactic halos. In this contrast, we discuss the possibility of explaining the flat rotational velocity curves in f(R) gravity by solving field equations numerically in vacuum and for different matter distributions. For a spherically symmetric static space-time (as the galactic environment) we give metric for constant rotational velocity regions. For a constant rotational velocity region, we prove that all values of rotational velocities (most importantly observed rotational velocity ~200-300Km/s) do not lead to an analytic solution of the vacuum field equations. We then obtain numerical solutions of the field equations in vacuum and for three types of mass distributions named: (1) power law density profile, (2) simple model for galaxy with a core and, (3) Navarro, Frank and White (NFW) profile, for M31 and Milky way galaxy. The solutions suggest a slight modification from linear relations from R for vacuum whereas a significant deviation from R for the distributions can give flat rotational curves. Using Brans-Dicke theory, we also relate obtained modified gravity function with the equivalent scalar fields, the procedure gives us very interesting phenomena and behavior of dark matter in the galactic environment. We observe that the scalar dark matter, coming from different modified gravity functions of matter profiles, does not accumulate as the baryonic matter. These results then can be used to explain the spatial offset of the center of the total mass from the center of the baryonic mass peaks of the bullet cluster and Abell-520.
