description: Quantum anomalous Hall effect (QAH) is induced by substitution of a certain portion, x, of Bi atoms in a BiTe-based insulating parent compound by magnetic ions (Cr or V). We find the density of in-gap states, N(E), emerging as a result of statistic fluctuations of the composition, x, in the vicinity of the transition point, where the average gap, E_g, passes through zero. Local gap follows the fluctuations of x. Using the instanton approach, we show that, near the gap edges, the tails are exponential, ln N(E) \propto -(E_g-|E|), and the tail states are due to small gap reduction. Our main finding is that, even when the smearing magnitude exceeds the gap-width, there exists are semi-hard gap around zero energy, where ln N(E) \propto -E_g/|E| (ln E_g/|E|). The states responsible for N(E) originate from local gap reversals within narrow rings. The consequence of semi-hard gap is the Arrhenius, rather than variable-range hopping, temperature dependence of the diagonal conductivity at low temperatures.

description: We report the detection of a significant ionospheric disturbance in the D-region of Earth's ionosphere which was associated with the massive gamma-ray burst GRB 221009A that occurred on October 9 2022. We identified the disturbance over northern Europe - a result of the increased ionisation by X- and gamma-ray emission from the GRB - using very low frequency (VLF) radio waves as a probe of the D-region. These observations demonstrate that an extra-galactic GRB can have a significant impact on the terrestrial ionosphere and illustrates that the Earth's ionosphere can be used as a giant X- and gamma-ray detector. Indeed, these observations may provide insights into the impacts of GRBs on the ionospheres of planets in our solar system and beyond.

Infant sleep in the first year of life: common patterns, predictors and consequences

Publisher: name: Macquarie University

Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: Despite the known benefits of sleep for developing infants, there remains limited knowledge about the patterns, predictors and developmental consequences of sleep during infancy. This thesis used prospective data from 448 NSW mothers and offspring, across gestation and early infancy, to examine the nature, predictors and consequences of infant sleep. Measures included the Brief Infant Sleep Questionnaire, the Depression Anxiety and Stress Scales, the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale and the Bayley Scales of Infant Development-III. Statistical analyses included Pearson' s correlation; repeated measures ANOVA, multiple regression and structural equation modelling. The thesis provided new knowledge in three areas. First, examination of infant sleep patterns over the first year of life found that sleep reduced consistently. Second, infant sleep and maternal mental health were found to be bidirectionally related over time. Finally, higher quality and duration of infant sleep in the first 8-weeks of life predicted increased cognitive and language development scores at 12-months of age. This thesis improves the understanding of sleep in the first year of infancy and identifies numerous critical predictors and consequences of infant sleep. Implications of these findings in relation to assessment, education, and intervention of infant sleep and its related concomitant factors are discussed.
Bars in the local universe: The PHANGS perspective
Creators: name: Querejeta, Miguel
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: Galaxies in the local universe display a wide range of stellar structures, among which bars often stand out. In this talk, I introduce the PHANGS project in some detail and present a set of masks that delimit morphological environments. Then, I move on to highlight some results on the distribution of gas and star formation within bars in PHANGS. Bars contain large amounts of molecular gas and star formation, with average surface densities comparable to those in spiral arms. Yet, there is significant diversity among bars, with some showing more gas and star formation than others; the distribution within bars is also far from symmetric. Molecular gas surface density tends to be slightly higher in bar ends than within the rest of the bar (excluding centres), and the star formation rate surface density is comparatively even higher. The resulting star formation efficiency is typically 2-3 times higher in bars ends than within the bar (excluding centres). The highest surface densities are reached in the centres of barred galaxies, which are systematically brighter than unbarred galaxy centres, and with a distribution that shows a much larger scatter. This could be related to local conditions that are highly variable over time in the centres of barred galaxies as the result of episodic gas inflow.

Enthalpy, Geometric Volume and Logarithmic correction to Entropy for Van-der-Waals Black Hole

description: If the negative cosmological constant is treated as a dynamical pressure and if the volume be its thermodynamically conjugate variable then the gravitational mass can be expressed as the total gravitational enthalpy rather than the energy. Under these circumstances, a new phenomena emerges in the context of extended phase space thermodynamics. We \emph{examine} here these features for recently discovered Van-der-Waal (VDW) black hole (BH) \cite{mann15} which is analogous to the VDW fluid. We show that the thermodynamic volume is \emph{greater} than the naive geometric volume. We also show that the \emph{Smarr-Gibbs-Duhem} relation is satisfied for this BH. Furthermore, by computing the thermal specific heat we find the local thermodynamic stability criterion for this BH. It has been observed that the BH does \emph{not} possess any kind of second order phase transition. This is an interesting feature of VDW BH by its own right. Moreover, we also derive \emph{Cosmic-Censorship-Inequality} for this class of BH. In addition finally, we compute the \emph{logarithmic correction} to the entropy of this BH due to the quantum fluctuations around the thermal equilibrium.

description: Most next-generation Li-ion battery chemistries require a functioning lithium metal (Li) anode. However, its application in secondary batteries has been inhibited because of uncontrollable dendrite growth during cycling. Mechanical suppression of dendrite growth through solid polymer electrolytes (SPE) or through robust separators has shown the most potential for alleviating this problem. Studies of the mechanical behavior of Li at any length scale and temperature are virtually non-existent because of its extreme reactivity, which renders sample preparation, transfer, microstructure characterization and mechanical testing prohibitively challenging. We conduct nano-mechanical experiments in an in-situ Scanning Electron Microscope and show that micron-sized Li attains extremely high strengths of 105 MPa at room temperature and of 35MPa at 90$^\circ$C. We demonstrate that single crystalline Li exhibits a power-law size-effect at the micron- and sub-micron length scales, with the strengthening exponent of -0.68 at room temperature and of -1.00 at 90$^\circ$C. We also report the elastic and shear moduli as a function of crystallographic orientation gleaned from experiments and first principles calculations, which show a high level of anisotropy up to the melting point, where the elastic and shear moduli vary by a factor of ~4 between the stiffest and most compliant orientations. The emergence of such high strengths in small-scale Li and sensitivity of this metal's stiffness to crystallographic orientation help explain why the existing methods of dendrite suppression have been mainly unsuccessful and have significant implications for practical design of future-generation batteries.

description: Correctly formulated continuum models for lipid-bilayer membranes present a significant challenge to computational mechanics. In particular, the mid-surface behavior is that of a 2-dimensional fluid, while the membrane resists bending much like an elastic shell. Here we consider a well-known Helfrich-Cahn-Hilliard model for two-phase lipid-bilayer vesicles, incorporating mid-surface fluidity, curvature elasticity and a phase field. We present a systematic approach to the direct computation of vesical configurations possessing icosahedral symmetry, which have been observed in experiment and whose mathematical existence has recently been established. We first introduce a radial-graph formulation to overcome the difficulties associated with fluidity within a conventional Lagrangian description. We use the so-called subdivision surface finite element method combined with an icosahedral-symmetric mesh. The resulting discrete equations are well-conditioned and inherit equivariance properties under a representation of the icosahedral group. We use group-theoretic methods to obtain a reduced problem that captures all icosahedral-symmetric solutions of the full problem. Finally we explore the behavior of our reduced model, varying numerous physical parameters present in the mathematical model.

description: The elliptic curve $E_k \colon y^2 = x^3 + k$ admits a natural 3-isogeny $ϕ_k \colon E_k \to E_{-27k}$. We compute the average size of the $ϕ_k$-Selmer group as $k$ varies over the integers. Unlike previous results of Bhargava and Shankar on $n$-Selmer groups of elliptic curves, we show that this average can be very sensitive to congruence conditions on $k$; this sensitivity can be precisely controlled by the Tamagawa numbers of $E_k$ and $E_{-27k}$. As consequences, we prove that the average rank of the curves $E_k$, $k\in\mathbb Z$, is less than 1.21 and over $23\%$ (resp. $41\%$) of the curves in this family have rank 0 (resp. 3-Selmer rank 1).

description: To clarify how the electronic state of Sr1-xLaxRuO3 evolves with La doping, we conducted photoemission (PES) experiments using soft x-rays. The spectral shape of the Ru 4d derived peak near the Fermi level changes significantly with increasing x. This variation indicates that a spectral weight transfer from the coherent to incoherent component occurs due to an enhancement of the electron correlation effect. Resonant PES experiments at the La 3d_{5/2} edge have confirmed that there is no significant contribution of the La 5d state in the energy range where the spectral weight transfer is observed. Using the dependence of the photoelectron mean free path on the photon energy, we subtracted the surface components from the PES spectra and confirmed that the enhancement of the electron correlation effect with La doping is an intrinsic bulk phenomenon. On the other hand, a large portion of the coherent component remains at the Fermi level up to x = 0.5, reflecting that the Ru 4d state still has itinerant characteristics. Moreover, we found that the PES spectra hardly depend on the temperature and do not exhibit a discernible change with magnetic ordering, suggesting that the temperature variation of the exchange splitting does not follow the prediction of the Stoner theory. The presently obtained experimental results indicate that the electron correlation effect plays an important role in Sr1-xLaxRuO3 and that the Ru 4d electrons possess both local and itinerant characteristics.

description: Recent electrophysiological experiments have shown that dopamine (D1) modulation of pyramidal cells in prefrontal cortex reduces spike frequency adaptation and enhances NMDA transmission. Using four models, from multicompartmental to integrate and fire, we examine the effects of these modulations on sustained (delay) activity in a reverberatory network. We find that D1 modulation may enable robust network bistability yielding selective reverberation among cells that code for a particular item or location. We further show that the tuning curve of such cells is sharpened, and that signal-to-noise ratio is increased. We postulate that D1 modulation affects the tuning of "memory fields" and yield efficient distributed dynamic representations.

Candidate Water Vapor Lines to Locate the H$_{2}$O Snowline through High-Dispersion Spectroscopic Observations I. The Case of a T Tauri Star

description: Inside the H$_{2}$O snowline of protoplanetary disks, water evaporates from the dust-grain surface into the gas phase, whereas it is frozen out on to the dust in the cold region beyond the snowline. H$_{2}$O ice enhances the solid material in the cold outer part of a disk, which promotes the formation of gas-giant planet cores. We can regard the H$_{2}$O snowline as the surface that divides the regions between rocky and gaseous giant planet formation. Thus observationally measuring the location of the H$_{2}$O snowline is crucial for understanding the planetesimal and planet formation processes, and the origin of water on Earth. In this paper, we find candidate water lines to locate the H$_{2}$O snowline through future high-dispersion spectroscopic observations. First, we calculate the chemical composition of the disk and investigate the abundance distributions of H$_{2}$O gas and ice, and the position of the H$_{2}$O snowline. We confirm that the abundance of H$_{2}$O gas is high not only in the hot midplane region inside the H$_{2}$O snowline but also in the hot surface layer of the outer disk. Second, we calculate the H$_{2}$O line profiles and identify those H$_{2}$O lines which are promising for locating the H$_{2}$O snowline: the identified lines are those which have small Einstein $A$ coefficients and high upper state energies. The wavelengths of the candidate H$_{2}$O lines range from mid-infrared to sub-millimeter, and they overlap with the regions accessible to ALMA and future mid-infrared high dispersion spectrographs (e.g., TMT/MICHI, SPICA).

description: The vibro-acoustic response of a structure-liner-fluid system is predicted by application of a patch impedance coupling methodology. In contrast to existing numerical approaches, impedance matrices of structure and liner are determined by a direct experimental approach, avoiding the requirement of material parameters. Emphasis is placed on poroelastic lining materials. The method accounts for surface input and transfer terms and for cross and cross-transfer terms through the specimen. A single test-rig characterisation procedure for layered poroelastic media is proposed. The specimen is considered as a single component -- no separation of layers is necessary. Problem specific boundary conditions for skeleton and fluid, which may cause non-reciprocal cross terms, are dealt with by the procedure. Methods of measurement for the assessment of impedance matrices are presented and their accuracy and limitations are discussed. An air gap correction method for surface impedance measurements is presented.

description: In recent years, statistical physics' methodologies have proven extremely successful in offering insights into the mechanisms that govern social interactions. However, the question of whether these models are able to capture trends observed in real-world datasets is hardly addressed in the current literature. With this work we aim at bridging the gap between theoretical modeling and validation with data. In particular, we propose a model for opinion dynamics on a social network in the presence of external triggers, framing the interpretation of the model in the context of misbehavior spreading. We divide our population in aware, unaware and zealot/educated agents. Individuals change their status according to two competing dynamics, referred to as behavioral dynamics and broadcasting. The former accounts for information spreading through contact among individuals whereas broadcasting plays the role of an external agent, modeling the effect of mainstream media outlets. Through both simulations and analytical computations we find that the stationary distribution of the fraction of unaware agents in the system undergoes a phase transition when an all-to-all approximation is considered. Surprisingly, such a phase transition disappears in the presence of a minimum fraction of educated agents. Finally, we validate our model using data collected from the public discussion on Twitter, including millions of posts, about the potential adverse effects of the AstraZeneca vaccine against COVID-19. We show that the intervention of external agents, as accounted for in our model, is able to reproduce some key features that are found in this real-world dataset.

description: After years of silence we should witness in the rest of this decade and in the next decade the revival of kaon flavour physics. This is not only because of the crucial measurements of the branching ratios for the rare decays $K^+\toπ^+ν\barν$ and $K_{L}\to π^0ν\barν$ by NA62 and KOTO that being theoretically clean and very sensitive to new physics (NP) could hint for new phenomena even beyond the reach of the LHC without any significant theoretical uncertainties. Indeed simultaneously the advances in the calculations of perturbative and in particular non-perturbative QCD effects in $\varepsilon'/\varepsilon$, $\varepsilon_K$, $ΔM_K$, $K_L\toμ^+μ^-$ and $K_L\toπ^0\ell^+\ell^-$ will increase the role of these observables in searching for NP. In fact the hints for NP contributing to $\varepsilon'/\varepsilon$ have been already signalled last year through improved estimates of hadronic matrix elements of QCD and electroweak penguin operators $Q_6$ and $Q_8$ by lattice QCD and large $N$ dual QCD approach. This talk summarizes in addition to this new flavour anomaly the present highlights of this field including some results from concrete NP scenarios.

description: The charged black hole thermodynamics is corrected in terms of the quantum gravity effects. Most of the quantum gravity theories support the idea that near the Planck scale, the standard Heisenberg uncertainty principle should be reformulated by the so-called Generalized Uncertainty Principle (GUP) which provides a perturbation framework to perform required modifications of the black hole quantities. In this paper, we consider the effects of the minimal length and maximal momentum as GUP type I and the minimal length, minimal momentum, and maximal momentum as GUP type II on thermodynamics of the charged TeV-scale black holes. We also generalized our study to the universe with the extra dimensions based on the ADD model. In this framework, the effect of the electrical charge on thermodynamics of the black hole and existence of the charged black hole remnants as a potential candidate for the dark matter particles are discussed.

Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Molecular Networks (q-bio.MN)

description: Using an analytically solvable stochastic model, we study the properties of a simple genetic circuit consisting of multiple copies of an self-regulating gene. We analyse how the variation in gene copy number and the mutations changing the auto-regulation strength affect the steady-state distribution of protein concentration. We predict that one-reporter assay, an experimental method where the extrinsic noise level is inferred from the comparison of expression variance of a single and duplicated reporter gene, may give an incorrect estimation of the extrinsic noise contribution when applied to self-regulating genes. We also show that an imperfect duplication of an auto-activated gene, changing the regulation strength of one of the copies, may lead to a hybrid, binary+graded response of these genes to external signal. The analysis of relative changes in mean gene expression before and after duplication suggests that evolutionary accumulation of gene duplications may non-trivially depend on the inherent noisiness of a given gene, quantified by maximal mean frequency of bursts. Moreover, we find that the dependence of gene expression noise on gene copy number and auto-regulation strength may qualitatively differ, e.g. in monotonicity, depending on whether the noise is measured by Fano factor or coefficient of variation. Thus, experimentally-based hypotheses linking gene expression noise and evolutionary optimisation may be ambiguous as they are dependent on the particular function chosen to quantify noise.

description: We present the results of our survey of 1612 MHz circumstellar OH maser emission from asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars and red supergiants (RSGs) in the Large Magellanic Cloud. We have discovered four new circumstellar maser sources in the LMC, and increased the number of reliable wind speeds from IR stars in the LMC from 5 to 13. Using our new wind speeds, as well as those from Galactic sources, we have derived an updated relation for dust driven winds: $v_{exp} \propto Z L^{0.4}$. We compare the sub-solar metallicity LMC OH/IR stars with carefully selected samples of more metal-rich OH/IR stars, also at known distances, in the Galactic Centre and Galactic Bulge. For 8 of the Bulge stars we derive pulsation periods for the first time, using near-IR photometry from the VVV survey. We have modeled our LMC OH/IR stars and developed an empirical method of deriving gas-to-dust ratios and mass loss rates by scaling the models to the results from maser profiles. We have done this also for samples in the Galactic Centre and Bulge and derived a new mass loss prescription that includes luminosity, pulsation period, and gas-to-dust ratio $\dot{M} = 1.06^{+3.5}_{-0.8} \rm{ \cdot }10^{-5}\,(L/10^4\,\rm{L}_\odot)^{0.9\pm0.1}(P/500\,\rm{d})^{0.75\pm0.3} (r_{gd}/200)^{-0.03\pm0.07}\,\rm{M_{\odot}}\, yr^{-1}$. The tightest correlation is found between mass loss rate and luminosity. We find that the gas-to-dust ratio has little effect on the mass loss of oxygen-rich AGB stars and RSGs within the Galaxy and the LMC. This suggests that mass loss of oxygen-rich AGB stars and RSGs is (nearly) independent of metallicity between a half and twice solar.

description: We derive a formula for the unramified Brauer group of a general class of rationally connected fourfolds birational to conic bundles over smooth threefolds. We produce new examples of conic bundles over P^3 where this formula applies and which have nontrivial unramified Brauer group. The construction uses the theory of contact surfaces and, at least implicitly, matrix factorizations and symmetric arithmetic Cohen--Macaulay sheaves, as well as the geometry of special arrangements of rational curves in P^2. We also prove the existence of universally CH_0-trivial resolutions for the general class of conic bundle fourfolds we consider. Using the degeneration method, we thus produce new families of rationally connected fourfolds whose very general member is not stably rational.

description: Open data has been around for many years but with the advancement of technology and its steady adoption by businesses and governments it promises to create new opportunities for the advancement of society as a whole. Many popular open data platforms have focused on solving the problems faced by the data producer and offers limited support for the data consumers in the way of tools and supported processes for easy access, modeling and mining of data within the various platforms. In this paper we present the specifications for a data consumer oriented platform for open data, the Data-TAP. We demonstrate how this platform is able to (a) meet the goal of leveraging the data resources of existing Open Data platforms, (b) provide a means to standardize and structure data to allow for the merging of related data resources and (c) use a rule-based method for parsing resources. This paper will show how Data-TAP provides an easy to use and understand interface for making open data friendlier for consumers.

Asymptotic bounds on the globally optimal positions of orthogonal stiffeners for rectangular plates in elastostatic bending

description: The present paper treats the problem of finding the asymptotic bounds for the globally optimal locations of orthogonal stiffeners minimizing the compliance of a rectangular plate in elastostatic bending. The essence of the paper is the utilization of a method of analysis of orthogonally stiffened rectangular plates first presented by Mazurkiewicz in 1962, and obtained herein in a closed form for several special cases in the approximation of stiffeners having zero torsional rigidity. Asymptotic expansions of the expressions for the deflection field of a stiffened plate are used to derive limit-case globally optimal stiffening layouts for highly flexible and highly rigid stiffeners. A central result obtained in this work is an analytical proof of the fact that an array of flexible enough orthogonal stiffeners of any number, stiffening a simply-supported rectangular plate subjected to any lateral loading, is best to be put in the form of exactly two orthogonal stiffeners, one in each direction.

description: In his Comment, Temesvári objects to a remark in our paper [Phys.\ Rev.\ B {\bf 91}, 104432 (2015)] that his result for the form of the Almeida-Thouless (AT) line obtained in an earlier paper with Parisi [Nucl.\ Phys.\ B {\bf 858}, 293 (2012)] in six dimensions can be obtained by taking the limit of $d \to 6$ in the equations valid for $d>6$, but that this violated one of the inequalities needed for their validity. He is just pointing out that they gave a derivation of the form of the AT line in six dimensions in [Nucl.\ Phys.\ B {\bf 858}, 293 (2012)] which avoided this difficulty. However, it is still a perturbative approach, and does not deal with the lack of a perturbative fixed point found by Bray and Roberts [J. Phys. C {\bf 13}, 5405 (1980)] long ago.

Convergence of Nonlinear Observers on R^n with a Riemannian Metric (Part II)

description: In [1], it is established that a convergent observer with an infinite gain margin can be designed for a given nonlinear system when a Riemannian metric showing that the system is differentially detectable (i.e., the Lie derivative of the Riemannian metric along the system vector field is negative in the space tangent to the output function level sets) and the level sets of the output function are geodesically convex is available. In this paper, we propose techniques for designing a Riemannian metric satisfying the first property in the case where the system is strongly infinitesimally observable (i.e., each time-varying linear system resulting from the linearization along a solution to the system satisfies a uniform observability property) or where it is strongly differentially observable (i.e. the mapping state to output derivatives is an injective immersion) or where it is Lagrangian. Also, we give results that are complementary to those in [1]. In particular, we provide a locally convergent observer and make a link to the existence of a reduced order observer. Examples illustrating the results are presented.
