description: Our study provides novel insights into age-related structural and functional changes of the human proximal pulmonary artery (PPA) by drawing from both in vivo and ex vivo analyses. Aging associates with functional decline of the human PPA as manifested by a significant decrease in both circumferential distensibility and axial extensibility. While these changes implicate adverse functional changes, remodeling of the underlying microstructure of the wall of the PPA may best explain the age-related stiffening that was observed in this study.

Quantum Phase Transitions

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2001
Subjects: subject: Strongly Correlated Electrons (cond-mat.str-el)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We give a general introduction to quantum phase transitions in strongly-correlated electron systems. These transitions which occur at zero temperature when a non-thermal parameter $g$ like pressure, chemical composition or magnetic field is tuned to a critical value are characterized by a dynamic exponent $z$ related to the energy and length scales $Δ$ and $ξ$. Simple arguments based on an expansion to first order in the effective interaction allow to define an upper-critical dimension $D_{C}=4$ (where $D=d+z$ and $d$ is the spatial dimension) below which mean-field description is no longer valid. We emphasize the role of pertubative renormalization group (RG) approaches and self-consistent renormalized spin fluctuation (SCR-SF) theories to understand the quantum-classical crossover in the vicinity of the quantum critical point with generalization to the Kondo effect in heavy-fermion systems. Finally we quote some recent inelastic neutron scattering experiments performed on heavy-fermions which lead to unusual scaling law in $ω/T$ for the dynamical spin susceptibility revealing critical local modes beyond the itinerant magnetism scheme and mention new attempts to describe this local quantum critical point.

Formation of Hot Jupiters through Secular Chaos and Dynamical Tides

description: The population of giant planets on short-period orbits can potentially be explained by some flavours of high-eccentricity migration. In this paper we investigate one such mechanism involving "secular chaos", in which secular interactions between at least three giant planets push the inner planet to a highly eccentric orbit, followed by tidal circularization and orbital decay. In addition to the equilibrium tidal friction, we incorporate dissipation due to dynamical tides that are excited inside the giant planet. Using the method of Gaussian rings to account for planet-planet interactions, we explore the conditions for extreme eccentricity excitation via secular chaos and the properties of hot Jupiters formed in this migration channel. Our calculations show that once the inner planet reaches a sufficiently large eccentricity, dynamical tides quickly dissipate the orbital energy, producing an eccentric warm Jupiter, which then decays in semi-major axis through equilibrium tides to become a hot Jupiter. Dynamical tides help the planet avoid tidal disruption, increasing the chance of forming a hot Jupiter, although not all planets survive the process. We find that the final orbital periods generally lie in the range of 2-3 days, somewhat shorter than those of the observed hot Jupiter population. We couple the planet migration to the stellar spin evolution to predict the final spin-orbit misalignments. The distribution of the misalignment angles we obtain shows a lack of retrograde orbits compared to observations. Our results suggest that high-eccentricity migration via secular chaos can only account for a fraction of the observed hot Jupiter population.

The benefits from their use are examined and also we analyze their characteristics and operating methods. In chapter 1, a brief overview of the Internet as we know it today (web 2.0), some historical information as well as the most important tools that have been developed are presented. In chapter 2, the theory of structured argumentation and the analysis of Toulmin’s model (1958), which is the basis on which most models of argumentation have been relied, are presented. In chapter 3, a detailed reference of all the systems that were found is presented. For a better understanding of their operation, basic instructions are given and screenshots are shown. These systems are divided into two major categories. In the first category, websites are presented. In the second one programs and software are presented. Last but not least, the conclusions of this study and the potential of further development of similar systems in a semantic web are presented.

description: The magnetoresistivity tensor of an interacting two-dimensional electron system with a lateral and unidirectional electric or magnetic modulation, in a perpendicular quantizing magnetic field, is calculated within the Kubo formalism. The influence of the spin splitting of the Landau bands and of the density of states (DOS) on the internal structure of the Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations is analyzed. The Coulomb electron - electron interaction is responsible for strong screening and exchange effects and is taken into account in a screened Hartree-Fock approximation, in which the exchange contribution is calculated self-consistently with the DOS at the Fermi level. This approximation describes both the exchange enhancement of the spin splitting and the formation of compressible edge strips, unlike the simpler Hartree and Hartree-Fock approximations, which yield either the one or the other.

description: Four classical laws of black hole thermodynamics are extended from exterior (event) horizon to interior (Cauchy) horizon. Especially, the first law of classical thermodynamics for Kerr-Newman black hole (KNBH) is generalized to those in quantum form. Then five quantum conservation laws on the KNBH evaporation effect are derived in virtue of thermodynamical equilibrium conditions. As a by-product, Bekenstein-Hawking's relation $ S=A/4 $ is exactly recovered.

R-Mode Oscillations in Rotating Magnetic Neutron Stars

description: We show that r-mode oscillations distort the magnetic fields of neutron stars and that their occurrence is likely to be limited by this interaction. If the field is gtrsim 10^{16} (Omega/Omega_B) G, where Omega and Omega_B are the angular velocities of the star and at which mass shedding occurs, r-mode oscillations cannot occur. Much weaker fields will prevent gravitational radiation from exciting r-mode oscillations or damp them on a relatively short timescale by extracting energy from the modes faster than gravitational wave emission can pump energy into them. For example, a 10^{10} G poloidal magnetic field that threads the star's superconducting core is likely to prevent the ell=2 mode from being excited unless Omega exceeds 0.35 Omega_B. If Omega is larger than 0.35 Omega_B initially, the ell=2 mode may be excited but is likely to decay rapidly once Omega falls below 0.35 Omega_B, which happens in lesssim 15^d if the saturation amplitude is gtrsim 0.1. The r-mode oscillations may play an important role in determining the structure of neutron star magnetic fields.

description: We propose and study a new one-dimensional traffic flow cellular automaton (CA) model of high speed vehicles with the Fukui-Ishibashi-type acceleration for all cars and the Nagel-Schreckenberg-type (NS) stochastic delay only for the cars following the trail of the car ahead. The main difference in the delay scenario between the new model and the NS model is that a car with spacing ahead longer than the velocity limit $M$ may not be delayed in the new model. By using a car-oriented mean field theory, we derive the fundamental diagrams of the average speed as the function of car density analytically. Our theoretical results are in excellent agreement with numerical simulations.

Quantum liquids of particles with generalized statistics

description: We propose a phenomenological approach to quantum liquids of particles obeying generalized statistics of a fermionic type, in the spirit of the Landau Fermi liquid theory. The approach is developed for fractional exclusion statistics. We discuss both equilibrium (specific heat, compressibility, and Pauli spin susceptibility) and nonequilibrium (current and thermal conductivities, thermopower) properties. Low temperature quantities have the same temperature dependences as for the Fermi liquid, with the coefficients depending on the statistics parameter. The novel quantum liquids provide explicit realization of systems with a non-Fermi liquid Lorentz ratio in two and more dimensions. Consistency of the theory is verified by deriving the compressibility and $f$-sum rules.

Diffusion-limited annihilation in inhomogeneous environments

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We study diffusion-limited (on-site) pair annihilation $A+A\to 0$ and (on-site) fusion $A+A\to A$ which we show to be equivalent for arbitrary space-dependent diffusion and reaction rates. For one-dimensional lattices with nearest neighbour hopping we find that in the limit of infinite reaction rate the time-dependent $n$-point density correlations for many-particle initial states are determined by the correlation functions of a dual diffusion-limited annihilation process with at most $2n$ particles initially. By reformulating general properties of annihilating random walks in one dimension in terms of fermionic anticommutation relations we derive an exact representation for these correlation functions in terms of conditional probabilities for a single particle performing a random walk with dual hopping rates. This allows for the exact and explicit calculation of a wide range of universal and non-universal types of behaviour for the decay of the density and density correlations.

O objetivo central é descrever e analisar como essa atividade tem acontecido em turmas de creche e pré-escola em dois Centros de Educação Infantil da rede pública municipal de Fortaleza (Ceará, Brasil). A base teórica é constituída pelas contribuições de Vygotsky (2008) e Wallon (2007, 2008) acerca da importância das interações e da linguagem na construção do pensamento e desenvolvimento da criança; e de Rinaldi (2017), Oliveira-Formosinho (2007) e Oliveira-Formosinho e Araújo (2013) em relação à Educação Infantil como espaço de interação, escuta e participação das crianças. Para a construção de dados, foram realizadas observações e entrevistas com uma professora de creche e uma de pré-escola. A pesquisa foi submetida ao Comitê de Ética da Universidade Federal do Ceará, respeitando o desejo de participação ou não das crianças e professoras. Os resultados indicam a necessidade da formação inicial e continuada, propiciando aos professores reflexões sobre as práticas que potencializem a participação e as interações das crianças, tanto no espaço-tempo da roda de conversa como em outros momentos da rotina nas creches e pré-escolas do nosso país.

Year: 2000
Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)

description: We introduce the (2+1)-spacetimes with compact space of genus g and with r gravitating particles which arise by ``Minkowskian suspensions of flat or hyperbolic cone surfaces'', by ``distinguished deformations'' of hyperbolic suspensions and by ``patchworking'' of suspensions. Similarly to the matter-free case, these spacetimes have nice properties with respect to the canonical Cosmological Time Function. When the values of the masses are sufficiently large and the cone points are suitably spaced, the distinguished deformations of hyperbolic suspensions determine a relevant open subset of the full parameter space; this open subset is homeomorphic to the product of an Euclidean space of dimension 6g-6+2r with an open subset of the Teichmüller Space of Riemann surfaces of genus g with r punctures. By patchworking of suspensions one can produce examples of spacetimes which are not distinguished deformations of any hyperbolic suspensions, although they have the same masses; in fact, we will guess that they belong to different connected components of the parameter space.

description: We investigate here populations of cataclysmic variables (CVs) in a set of 288 globular cluster (GC) models evolved with the MOCCA code. This is by far the largest sample of GC models ever analysed with respect to CVs. Contrary to what has been argued for a long time, we found that dynamical destruction of primordial CV progenitors is much stronger in GCs than dynamical formation of CVs, and that dynamically formed CVs and CVs formed under no/weak influence of dynamics have similar white dwarf mass distributions. In addition, we found that, on average, the detectable CV population is predominantly composed of CVs formed via typical common envelope phase (CEP) ($\gtrsim70$ per cent), that only $\approx2-4$ per cent of all CVs in a GC is likely to be detectable, and that core-collapsed models tend to have higher fractions of bright CVs than non-core-collapsed ones. We also consistently show, for the first time, that the properties of bright and faint CVs can be understood by means of the pre-CV and CV formation rates, their properties at their formation times and cluster half-mass relaxation times. Finally, we show that models following the initial binary population proposed by Kroupa and set with low CEP efficiency better reproduce the observed amount of CVs and CV candidates in NGC 6397, NGC 6752 and 47 Tuc. To progress with comparisons, the essential next step is to properly characterize the candidates as CVs (e.g. by obtaining orbital periods and mass ratios).

description: The numerical modeling of binary neutron star mergers has become a subject of much interest in recent years. While a full and accurate model of this phenomenon would require the evolution of the equations of relativistic hydrodynamics along with the Einstein field equations, a qualitative study of the early stages on inspiral can be accomplished by either Newtonian or post-Newtonian models, which are more tractable. In this paper we offer a comparison of results from both rotating and non-rotating (inertial) frame Newtonian calculations. We find that the rotating frame calculations offer significantly improved accuracy as compared with the inertial frame models. Furthermore, we show that inertial frame models exhibit significant and erroneous angular momentum loss during the simulations that leads to an unphysical inspiral of the two neutron stars. We also examine the dependence of the models on initial conditions by considering initial configurations that consist of spherical neutron stars as well as stars that are in equilibrium and which are tidally distorted. We compare our models those of Rasio & Shapiro (1992,1994a) and New & Tohline (1997). Finally, we investigate the use of the isolated star approximation for the construction of initial data.

description: The National Weather Service (NWS) West Gulf River Forecast Center (WGRFC), in cooperation with numerous federal, state, and local government entities, uses the latest science and technology to provide timely and accurate river forecasts in an effort to protect life and property for most of the river drainages in Texas. Disaster preparedness decreases property damage by an estimated $1 billion annually nationwide. The mission is to provide basic hydrologic forecast information for the economic and environmental well-being for the nation. The WGRFC is 1 of 13 river forecast centers within the United States and is located in Fort Worth, Texas. The WGRFC’s area of responsibility stretches from the Rio Grande in southern Colorado, New Mexico and south Texas eastward to the Sabine River along the Texas-Louisiana border. Other rivers in the center’s area of responsibility include the Pecos, Nueces, San Antonio, Guadalupe, Colorado, Brazos, Trinity, and Neches rivers. This article will describe the variety of hydrologic forecasting services routinely provided by the WGRFC. Although flood forecasts are its most well-known product, the WGRFC also generates river and water information used for recreation, reservoir operations, and water supply plans. Additionally, the WGRFC produces estimates of hourly precipitation. To achieve this, the WGRFC has 2 primary functions; a hydrometeorological function and a hydrologic function. This article will describe each function and discuss how each function serves as steps in the preparation and the issuing of hydrologic forecasts.

description: A variational approach is considered to calculate the free energy and the conformational properties of a polyelectrolyte chain in $d$ dimensions. We consider in detail the case of pure Coulombic interactions between the monomers, when screening is not present, in order to compute the end-to-end distance and the asymptotic properties of the chain as a function of the polymer chain length $N$. We find $R \simeq N^ν(\log N)^γ$ where $ν= \frac{3}{λ+2}$ and $λ$ is the exponent which characterize the long-range interaction $U \propto 1/r^λ$. The exponent $γ$ is shown to be non-universal, depending on the strength of the Coulomb interaction. We check our findings, by a direct numerical minimization of the variational energy for chains of increasing size $2^4

description: Identifying optimal treatments for patients living with rare diseases is challenging due to the small numbers of individuals affected. One design used to address this challenge is known as the small n, sequential, multiple assignment, randomized trial (snSMART). To investigate the efficacy of an active drug measured by a continuous outcome tested at a low and high dose compared to placebo, we propose a new two-stage snSMART design. In stage 1, patients are randomized to an initial treatment. In stage 2, patients are re-randomized, depending on their stage 1 outcome, to either the same or a different dose of treatment. Data from both stages are used to determine the marginal efficacy of the dose levels of active treatment. We propose a Bayesian approach for borrowing information across stage 1 and stage 2 data. We compare the proposed approach to standard methods using only stage 1 data. We observe that the joint stage Bayesian method has smaller root-mean-square-error and 95% Bayesian credible interval widths than standard methods in several tested settings. We conclude that our approach utilizing data from both stages is advantageous for efficacy inference and the proposed snSMART design is useful for the design of registration trials in rare diseases.

description: Identifying optimal treatments for patients living with rare diseases is challenging due to the small numbers of individuals affected. One design used to address this challenge is known as the small n, sequential, multiple assignment, randomized trial (snSMART). To investigate the efficacy of an active drug measured by a continuous outcome tested at a low and high dose compared to placebo, we propose a new two-stage snSMART design. In stage 1, patients are randomized to an initial treatment. In stage 2, patients are re-randomized, depending on their stage 1 outcome, to either the same or a different dose of treatment.

description: We study the superconducting transition temperature $T_c$ of the bilayer d-p model with $d_{x^2-y^2}$-wavelike attractive interaction based on the formalism first employed by Nozières and Schmitt-Rink. In the strong coupling regime, $T_c$ obtained through this formalism are much suppressed, compared with those through Thouless criterion only. We also find that, whether the interlayer coupling exsists or not, $T_c$ is almost propotional to the Fermi energy in the strong coupling regime. Thus, we can reproduce the essential nature in the underdoped region.

description: In this letter, atom optic techniques are proposed to control the excitation of a Bose-Einstein condensate in an atomic trap. We show that by employing the dipole potential induced by four highly detuned travelling-wave laser beams with appropriate phases and frequencies, one can coherently excite a trapped Bose-Einstein condensate composed of ultracold alkali atoms into a state rotating around the trap center. The connection to vortex states is discussed.

description: We describe the dynamics of three-dimensional fluid vesicles in steady shear flow in the vicinity of a wall. This is analyzed numerically at low Reynolds numbers using a boundary element method. The area-incompressible vesicle exhibits bending elasticity. Forces due to adhesion or gravity oppose the hydrodynamic lift force driving the vesicle away from a wall. We investigate three cases. First, a neutrally buoyant vesicle is placed in the vicinity of a wall which acts only as a geometrical constraint. We find that the lift velocity is linearly proportional to shear rate and decreases with increasing distance between the vesicle and the wall. Second, with a vesicle filled with a denser fluid, we find a stationary hovering state. We present an estimate of the viscous lift force which seems to agree with recent experiments of Lorz et al. [Europhys. Lett., vol. 51, 468 (2000)]. Third, if the wall exerts an additional adhesive force, we investigate the dynamical unbinding transition which occurs at an adhesion strength linearly proportional to the shear rate.

description: We propose that our world is a brane folded many times inside the sub-millimeter extra dimensions. The folding produces many connected parallel branes or folds with identical microphysics - a Manyfold. Nearby matter on other folds can be detected gravitationally as dark matter since the light it emits takes a long time to reach us traveling around the fold. Hence dark matter is microphysically identical to ordinary matter; it can dissipate and clump possibly forming dark replicas of ordinary stars which are good MACHO candidates. Its dissipation may lead to far more frequent occurrence of gravitational collapse and consequently to a significant enhancement in gravitational wave signals detectable by LIGO and LISA. Sterile neutrinos find a natural home on the other folds. Since the folded brane is not a BPS state, it gives a new geometric means for supersymmetry breaking in our world. It may also offer novel approach for the resolution of the cosmological horizon problem, although it still requires additional dynamics to solve the flatness problem. Although there are constraints from BBN, structure formation, the enormity of galactic halos and the absence of stars and globular clusters with a discernible dark matter component, we show that the model is consistent with current observational limits. It presents us with a new dark matter particle and a new framework for the evolution of structure in our universe.

description: GJ 3470b is a warm Neptune transiting an M-dwarf star at the edge of the evaporation desert. It offers the possibility of investigating how low-mass, close-in exoplanets evolve under the irradiation from their host stars. We observed three transits of GJ 3470b in the Lyman-alpha line with the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) as part of the Panchromatic Comparative Exoplanet Treasury (PanCET) program. Absorption signatures are detected with similar properties in all three independent epochs, with absorption depths of 35+-7% in the blue wing of the line, and 23+-5% in the red wing. The repeatability of these signatures, their phasing with the planet transit, and the radial velocity of the absorbing gas allow us to conclude that there is an extended upper atmosphere of neutral hydrogen around GJ 3470 b. We determine from our observations the stellar radiation pressure and XUV irradiation from GJ 3470 and use them to perform numerical simulations of the upper atmosphere of GJ 3470b with the EVaporating Exoplanets (EVE) code. The unusual redshifted signature can be explained by the damping wings of dense layers of neutral hydrogen that extend beyond the Roche lobe and are elongated in the direction of the planet motion. This structure could correspond to a shocked layer of planetary material formed by the collision of the expanding thermosphere with the wind of the star. The blueshifted signature is well explained by neutral hydrogen atoms escaping at rates of about 1e10 g s-1 that are blown away from the star by its strong radiation pressure and are quickly photoionized, resulting in a smaller exosphere than that of the warm Neptune GJ 436b. The stronger escape from GJ 3470b, however, may have led to the loss of about 4-35% of its current mass over its 2 Gyr lifetime.

description: Το αντικείμενο της παρούσας διπλωματικής εργασίας είναι η διερεύνηση δυνατότητας ηλεκτροεναπόθεσης νανοκρυσταλλικού οξειδίου του μονοσθενούς χαλκού, Cu2O, πάνω σε νανοραβδία οξειδίου του ψευδαργύρου, ZnO. Τελικός στόχος ήταν η ανάπτυξη p-n ετεροεπαφής για οπτοηλεκτρονικές εφαρμογές με n-νανοραβδία ZnO και p-νανοκρυστάλλους Cu2O. Η ηλεκτροεναπόθεση διερευνήθηκε και επιτεύχθηκε σε απλές χημικές κυψελίδες χαμηλής θερμοκρασίας (65 oC). Μελετήθηκαν οι απαραίτητες συνθήκες για επιτυχημένη ηλεκτροεναπόθεση και η επίδραση των διαφορετικών συνθηκών στις παραγόμενες νανοδομές. Πραγματοποιήθηκε δομικός και μορφολογικός χαρακτηρισμός καθώς και χημικός προσδιορισμός των νανοκρυστάλλων Cu2O που αναπτύχθηκαν, με ηλεκτρονική μικροσκοπία (Ηλεκτρονικό Μικροσκόπιο Σάρωσης - SEM, Ηλεκτρονικό Μικροσκόπιο Διέλευσης - ΤΕΜ) και Περιθλασιμετρία ακτίνων Χ (XRD). Μελετήθηκαν οι οπτικές ιδιότητες των σύνθετων νανοδομών ZnO-Cu2O με μεθόδους φωτοφωταύγειας και τέλος έγιναν ηλεκτρικές μετρήσεις με Μικροσκοπία Ατομικής Δύναμης (C-AFM) για να διερευνηθούν τα p-n χαρακτηριστικά τους.
description: The present thesis deals with the investigation of the electrodeposition of nanocrystalline copper(I) oxide - Cu2O on zinc oxide - ZnO nanorods. The experiments were conducted aiming towards the development of a nanostructured p-n heterojunction for optoelectronic applications.The electrodeposition of copper oxide was investigated and achieved in simple low temperature (65 oC) electrochemical cells. The necessary conditions for successful electrodeposition as well as the effects of various conditions on the produced nanostructures were studied. Morphological characterisation and chemical identification were performed using electron microscopy (SEM-TEM) and X-ray diffraction. Furthermore the composite ZnO-Cu2O nanostructures' optical qualities were studied using a photoluminescence (PL) array and finally electric measuring was performed with the use of Conductive Atomic Force Microscopy (C-AFM) in order to ascertain the p-n behavior of the developed nanostructures.

description: We present a uniform analysis of 155 candidates from the second year of NASA's $K2$ mission (Campaigns 5-8), yielding 60 statistically validated planets spanning a range of properties, with median values of $R_p$ = 2.5 $R_\oplus$, $P$ = 7.1 d, $T_\mathrm{eq}$ = 811 K, and $J$ = 11.3 mag. The sample includes 24 planets in 11 multi-planetary systems, as well as 18 false positives, and 77 remaining planet candidates. Of particular interest are 18 planets smaller than 2 $R_\oplus$, five orbiting stars brighter than $J$ = 10 mag, and a system of four small planets orbiting the solar-type star EPIC 212157262. We compute planetary transit parameters and false positive probabilities using a robust statistical framework and present a complete analysis incorporating the results of an intensive campaign of high resolution imaging and spectroscopic observations. This work brings the $K2$ yield to over 360 planets, and by extrapolation we expect that $K2$ will have discovered $\sim$600 planets before the expected depletion of its on-board fuel in late 2018.
