description: We calculate the contribution from the $q \bar q g$ state production to the diffractive cross sections in deep inelastic scattering at high energy. The obtained cross section is finite by itself and a part of the full next-to-leading order result for the diffractive structure functions. We perform the calculation in exact kinematics in the eikonal limit, and show that the previously known high-$Q^2$ and large $M_X^2$ results for the structure functions can be extracted from our results in the appropriate limits. We furthermore discuss the steps required to obtain the full next-to-leading order results for the structure functions.

Spectrometric reconstruction of mechanical-motional states in optomechanics

description: We propose a spectrometric method to reconstruct the motional states of mechanical modes in optomechanics. This is achieved by detecting the single-photon emission and scattering spectra of the optomechanical cavity. Owing to an optomechanical coupling, the \emph{a priori} phonon-state distributions contribute to the spectral magnitude, and hence we can infer information on the phonon states from the measured spectral data. When the single-photon optomechanical-coupling strength is moderately larger than the mechanical frequency, then our method works well for a wide range of cavity-field decay rates, irrespective of whether or not the system is in the resolved-sideband regime.

Relativistic effects and three-body interactions in atomic nuclei

description: Based on the leading-order covariant pionless effective field theory, a relativistic nuclear Hamiltonian is derived and solved using the variational Monte Carlo approach for $A\le 4$ nuclei by representing the nuclear many-body wave functions with a symmetry-based artificial neural network. It is found that the relativistic effects rescue the renormalizability of the theory, and overcome the energy collapse problem for $^3$H and $^4$He without promoting a repulsive three-nucleon interaction to leading order as in nonrelativistic calculations. Nevertheless, to exactly reproduce the experimental ground-state energies, a three-nucleon interaction is needed and its interplay with the relativistic effects plays a crucial role. The strongly repulsive relativistic effects suppress the energy contribution given by the three-nucleon interactions, so a strong strength for the three-nucleon interaction could be required to reproduce the experimental energies. These results shed light on a consistent understanding of relativistic effects and three-body interactions in atomic nuclei.

description: The in-medium Eta-N interaction near and below threshold is constructed from a free-space chirally-inspired meson-baryon coupled-channel model that captures the physics of the N(1535) baryon resonance. Nucleon Pauli blocking and hadron self-energies are accounted for. The resulting energy dependent in-medium interaction is used in self-consistent dynamical calculations of Eta nuclear bound states. Narrow states of width about or less than 2 MeV are found across the periodic table, beginning with A=10, for this in-medium coupled-channel interaction model. The binding energy of the 1s-Eta state increases with A, reaching a value of B(1s-Eta) about 15 MeV. The implications of our self-consistency procedure are discussed with respect to procedures used in other works.

Lower Delaware Water Quality Monitoring Program: Quality Assurance Project Plan
Creators: name: No Name Supplied
Publisher: name: Delaware River Basin Commission
Year: 2003

description: In 1999, the Delaware River Basin Commission began monitoring to characterize the existing water quality of the Lower Non-tidal Delaware River. This monitoring network was established because little data existed to characterize water quality in this reach, which has been included in the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System. In 1999 a pilot study was conducted, leading to development of a 42-site fixed network that was monitored in 2000. The 2003 monitoring season was the fourth in the five-year effort to define existing water quality and develop water quality management strategies that protect and possibly improve water quality of the Lower Non-tidal Delaware River by maintaining existing water quality and improving it where practical. The mission of the Lower Delaware Water Quality Monitoring Program is to obtain environmental data that: defines the existing water quality of the Lower Non-tidal Delaware River within five years; establishes targets for development of an anti-degradation protection strategy that supports Special Protection Waters management strategies; reports current water quality status and identifies key factors controlling maintenance and improvement of the ecological integrity of the river; augments the water quality, physical, and biological data collection efforts of various federal, state, local, and citizen monitoring agencies; provides support for the determination of abatement priorities for point and non-point sources of pollution; provides a prioritization scheme for tributaries for monitoring and watershed planning purposes; expands ecological knowledge of the Lower Non-tidal Delaware River; and helps to safeguard the health and safety of the river-using public.

description: We generalize the thermal pure quantum (TPQ) formulation of statistical mechanics, in such a way that it is applicable to systems whose Hilbert space is infinite dimensional. Assuming particle systems, we construct the grand-canonical TPQ (gTPQ) state, which is the counterpart of the grand-canonical Gibbs state of the ensemble formulation. A single realization of the gTPQ state gives all quantities of statistical-mechanical interest, with exponentially small probability of error. This formulation not only sheds new light on quantum statistical mechanics but also is useful for practical computations. As an illustration, we apply it to the Hubbard model, on a one-dimensional (1d) chain and on a two-dimensional (2d) triangular lattice. For the 1d chain, our results agree well with the exact solutions over wide ranges of temperature, chemical potential and the on-site interaction. For the 2d triangular lattice, for which exact results are unknown, we obtain reliable results over a wide range of temperature. We also find that finite-size effects are much smaller in the gTPQ state than in the canonical TPQ (cTPQ) state. This also shows that in the ensemble formulation the grand-canonical Gibbs state of a finite-size system simulates an infinite system much better than the canonical Gibbs state.

description: In certain scalar-field extensions to general relativity, scalar charges can develop on compact objects in an inspiraling binary -- an effect known as dynamical scalarization. This effect can be modeled using effective-field-theory methods applied to the binary within the post-Newtonian approximation. Past analytic investigations focused on the adiabatic (or quasi-stationary) case for quasi-circular orbits. In this work, we explore the full dynamical evolution around the phase transition to the scalarized regime. This allows for generic (eccentric) orbits and to quantify nonadiabatic (e.g., oscillatory) behavior during the phase transition. We also find that even in the circular-orbit case, the onset of scalarization can only be predicted reliably when taking the full dynamics into account, i.e., the adiabatic approximation is not appropriate. Our results pave the way for accurate post-Newtonian predictions for dynamical scalarization effects in gravitational waves from compact binaries.

The distribution of forces affects vibrational properties in hard sphere glasses

description: We study theoretically and numerically the elastic properties of hard sphere glasses, and provide a real-space description of their mechanical stability. In contrast to repulsive particles at zero-temperature, we argue that the presence of certain pairs of particles interacting with a small force $f$ soften elastic properties. This softening affects the exponents characterizing elasticity at high pressure, leading to experimentally testable predictions. Denoting $P(f)\sim f^{θ_e}$ the force distribution of such pairs and $ϕ_c$ the packing fraction at which pressure diverges, we predict that (i) the density of states has a low-frequency peak at a scale $ω^*$, rising up to it as $D(ω) \sim ω^{2+a}$, and decaying above $ω^*$ as $D(ω)\sim ω^{-a}$ where $a=(1-θ_e)/(3+θ_e)$ and $ω$ is the frequency, (ii) shear modulus and mean-squared displacement are inversely proportional with $\langle δR^2\rangle\sim1/μ\sim (ϕ_c-ϕ)^κ $ where $κ=2-2/(3+θ_e)$, and (iii) continuum elasticity breaks down on a scale $\ell_c \sim1/\sqrt{δz}\sim (ϕ_c-ϕ)^{-b}$ where $b=(1+θ_e)/(6+2θ_e)$ and $δz=z-2d$, where $z$ is the coordination and $d$ the spatial dimension. We numerically test (i) and provide data supporting that $θ_e\approx 0.41$ in our bi-disperse system, independently of system preparation in two and three dimensions, leading to $κ\approx1.41$, $a \approx 0.17$, and $b\approx 0.21$. Our results for the mean-square displacement are consistent with a recent exact replica computation for $d=\infty$, whereas some observations differ, as rationalized by the present approach.

Micromechanics of rock damage and its recovery in cyclic loading conditions

description: Under compressive stress, rock ``damage'' in the form of tensile microcracks is coupled to internal slip on microscopic interfaces, such as preexisting cracks and grain boundaries. In order to characterise the contribution of slip to the overall damage process, we conduct triaxial cyclic loading experiments on Westerly granite, and monitor volumetric strain and elastic wave velocity and anisotropy. Cyclic loading tests show large hysteresis in axial stress-strain behaviour that can be explained entirely by slip. Elastic wave velocity variations are observed only past a yield point, and show hysteresis with incomplete reversibility upon unloading. Irrecoverable volumetric strain and elastic wave velocity drop and anisotropy increase with increasing maximum stress, are amplified during hydrostatic decompression, and decrease logarithmically with time during hydrostatic hold periods after deformation cycles. The mechanical data and change in elastic properties are used to determine the proportion of mechanical work required to generate tensile cracks, which increases as the rock approaches failure but remains small, up to around 10\% of the net dissipated work per cycle. The pre-rupture deformation behaviour of rocks is qualitatively compatible with the mechanics of wing cracks. While tensile cracks are the source of large changes in rock physical properties, they are not systematically associated with significant energy dissipation and their aperture and growth is primarily controlled by friction, which exerts a dominant control on rock rheology in the brittle regime. Time-dependent friction along preexisting shear interfaces explains how tensile cracks can close under static conditions and produce recovery of elastic wave velocities over time.

description: We present a general relation between the electromechanical couplings of infinitesimal strain and electric field to arbitrary order, measured at fixed voltage and at fixed electric field. We show that the improper response at fixed field can be written as the strain derivative of the $n^{\text{th}}$ order susceptibility tensor, and the proper response at fixed voltage drop can be written as the response at fixed field plus corrections for dilations and 90$^{\circ}$ rotations induced by strain. Our theory correctly reproduces the proper piezoelectric response and we go beyond with the electrostrictive response. We present first-principles calculations of the improper electrostrictive response at fixed field, and illustrate how the correction is used to obtain the proper response at fixed voltage. This distinction is of high importance given the recent interest in giant electrostrictors exhibiting electromechanical responses as large as the piezoelectric ones.

description: The dynamical generation of wormholes within an extension of General Relativity (GR) containing (Planck's scale-suppressed) Ricci-squared terms is considered. The theory is formulated assuming the metric and connection to be independent (Palatini formalism) and is probed using a charged null fluid as a matter source. This has the following effect: starting from Minkowski space, when the flux is active the metric becomes a charged Vaidya-type one, and once the flux is switched off the metric settles down into a static configuration such that far from the Planck scale the geometry is virtually indistinguishable from that of the standard Reissner-Nordström solution of GR. However, the innermost region undergoes significant changes, as the GR singularity is generically replaced by a wormhole structure. Such a structure becomes completely regular for a certain charge-to-mass ratio. Moreover, the nontrivial topology of the wormhole allows to define a charge in terms of lines of force trapped in the topology such that the density of lines flowing across the wormhole throat becomes a universal constant. To the light of our results we comment on the physical significance of curvature divergences in this theory and the topology change issue, which support the view that space-time could have a foam-like microstructure pervaded by wormholes generated by quantum gravitational effects.

description: Adaptive radiation therapy (ART) could protect organs at risk (OARs) while maintain high dose coverage to targets. However, there still lack efficient online patient QA methods. We aim to develop a clinically relevant online patient quality assurance (QA) solution for ART using daily CT scans and electronic portal imaging device (EPID)-based in vivo dosimetry. Ten patients with rectal cancer at our center were included. Patients' daily CT scans and portal images were collected to generate reconstructed 3D dose distributions. Contours of targets and OARs were recontoured on these daily CT scans by a clinician or an auto-segmentation algorithm, then dose-volume indices were calculated, and the percent deviation of these indices to their original plans were determined. This deviation was regarded as the metric for clinically relevant patient QA. The tolerance level was obtained using a 95% interval of the QA metric distribution. These deviations could be further divided into anatomically relevant or delivery relevant indicators for error source analysis. Finally, our QA solution was validated on an additional six clinical patients. In rectal cancer, the lower and upper tolerance of the QA metric for PTV ΔD95 (%) were [-3.11%, 2.35%], and for PTV ΔD2 (%) were [-0.78%, 3.23%]. In validation, the 68% for PTV ΔD95 (%) and the 79% for PTV ΔD2 ({%)of the 28 fractions are within tolerances of the QA metrics. By using four or more out-of-tolerance QA metrics as an action level, there were 5 fractions (18%) have four or more out-of-tolerance QA metrics in validation patient dataset. The online patient QA solution using daily CT scans and EPID-based in vivo dosimetry is clinically feasible. Source of error analysis has the potential for distinguishing sources of error and guiding ART for future treatments.

description: A perturbative QCD based jet tomographic Monte Carlo model, CUJET2.0, is presented to predict jet quenching observables in relativistic heavy ion collisions at RHIC/BNL and LHC/CERN energies. This model generalizes the DGLV theory of flavor dependent radiative energy loss by including multi-scale running strong coupling effects. It generalizes CUJET1.0 by computing jet path integrations though more realistic 2+1D transverse and longitudinally expanding viscous hydrodynamical fields contrained by fits to low $p_T$ flow data. The CUJET2.0 output depends on three control parameters, $(α_{max},f_E,f_M)$, corresponding to an assumed upper bound on the vacuum running coupling in the infrared and two chromo-electric and magnetic QGP screening mass scales $(f_E μ(T), f_M μ(T))$ where $μ(T)$ is the 1-loop Debye mass. We compare numerical results as a function of $α_{max}$ for pure and deformed HTL dynamically enhanced scattering cases corresponding to $(f_E=1,2, f_M=0)$ to data of the nuclear modification factor, $R^f_{AA}(p_T,ϕ; \sqrt{s}, b)$ for jet fragment flavors $f=π,D, B, e$ at $\sqrt{s}=0.2-2.76$ ATeV c.m. energies per nucleon pair and with impact parameter $b=2.4, 7.5$ fm. A $χ^2$ analysis is presented and shows that $R^π_{AA}$ data from RHIC and LHC are consistent with CUJET2.0 at the $χ^2/d.o.f< 2$ level for $α_{max}=0.23-0.30$. The corresponding $\hat{q}(E_{jet}, T)/T^3$ effective jet transport coefficient field of this model is computed to facilitate comparison to other jet tomographic models in the literature. The predicted elliptic asymmetry, $v_2(p_T;\sqrt{s},b)$ is, however, found to significantly underestimated relative to RHIC and LHC data. We find the $χ^2_{v_2}$ analysis shows that $v_2$ is very sensitive to allowing even as little as 10\% variations of the path averaged $α_{max}$ along in and out of reaction plane paths.

description: Anisotropic exchange-splitting in semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) results in bright-exciton fine-structure-splitting (FSS) important for quantum information processing. Direct measurement of FSS usually requires single/few QDs at liquid-helium temperatures, because of its sensitivity to QD size and shape, whereas measuring and controlling FSS at an ensemble-level seem to be impossible unless all the dots are made to be nearly the same. Here we report strong bright-exciton FSS up to 1.6 meV in solution-processed CsPbI3 perovskite QDs, manifested as quantum beats in ensemble-level transient absorption at liquid-nitrogen to room temperatures. The splitting is robust to QD size and shape heterogeneity, and increases with decreasing temperature, pointing towards a mechanism associated with orthorhombic distortion of perovskite lattice. Effective-mass-approximation calculations reveal an intrinsic "fine-structure gap" that agrees well with the observed FSS. This gap stems from an avoided crossing of bright-excitons confined in orthorhombically-distorted QDs that are bounded by the pseudocubic {100} family of planes.

description: The quantum fidelity was introduced by Peres to study some fingerprints of classically chaotic behavior in the quantum dynamics of the corresponding systems. In the present paper the signatures of classical dynamics near elliptic points and of interactions between particles are characterized for kicked systems. In particular, the period of the fidelity resulting of the interactions is found using analytical and numerical calculations. A mechanism leading to the oscillations with the intermediate period is proposed. It is of a semiclassical origin and results of the interplay between the oscillations of the width of the wave packets and the rotation of their center around the elliptic fixed point.

description: We present initial results of a deep near-IR spectroscopic survey covering the 15 fields of the Keck Baryonic Structure Survey (KBSS) using MOSFIRE on the Keck 1 telescope, focusing on a sample of 251 galaxies with redshifts 2.0< z < 2.6, star-formation rates 2 < SFR < 200 M_sun/yr, and stellar masses 8.6 < log(M*/M_sun) < 11.4, with high-quality spectra in both H- and K-band atmospheric windows. We show unambiguously that the locus of z~2.3 galaxies in the "BPT" nebular diagnostic diagram exhibits a disjoint, yet similarly tight, relationship between the ratios [NII]6585/Halpha and [OIII]/Hbeta as compared to local galaxies. Using photoionization models, we argue that the offset of the z~2.3 locus relative to z~ 0 is explained by a combination of harder ionizing radiation field, higher ionization parameter, and higher N/O at a given O/H than applies to most local galaxies, and that the position of a galaxy along the z~2.3 star-forming BPT locus is surprisingly insensitive to gas-phase oxygen abundance. The observed nebular emission line ratios are most easily reproduced by models in which the net ionizing radiation field resembles a blackbody with effective temperature T_eff = 50000-60000 K and N/O close to the solar value at all O/H. We critically assess the applicability of commonly-used strong line indices for estimating gas-phase metallicities, and consider the implications of the small intrinsic scatter in the empirical relationship between excitation-sensitive line indices and stellar mass (i.e., the "mass-metallicity" relation), at z~2.3.

description: Level density $ρ(E,{\bf Q})$ is derived within the micro-macroscopic approximation (MMA) for a system of strongly interacting Fermi particles with the energy $E$ and additional integrals of motion ${\bf Q}$, in line with several topics of the universal and fruitful activity of A.S. Davydov. Within the extended Thomas Fermi and semiclassical periodic orbit theory beyond the Fermi-gas saddle-point method we obtain $ρ\propto I_ν(S)/S^ν$, where $I_ν(S)$ is the modified Bessel function of the entropy $S$. For small shell-structure contribution one finds $ν=κ/2+1$, where $κ$ is the number of additional integrals of motion. This integer number is a dimension of ${\bf Q}$, ${\bf Q}=\{N, Z, ...\}$ for the case of two-component atomic nuclei, where $N$ and $Z$ are the numbers of neutron and protons, respectively. For much larger shell structure contributions, one obtains, $ν=κ/2+2$. The MMA level density $ρ$ reaches the well-known Fermi gas asymptote for large excitation energies, and the finite micro-canonical combinatoric limit for low excitation energies. The additional integrals of motion can be also the projection of the angular momentum of a nuclear system for nuclear rotations of deformed nuclei, number of excitons for collective dynamics, and so on. Fitting the MMA total level density, $ρ(E,{\bf Q})$, for a set of the integrals of motion ${\bf Q}=\{N, Z\}$, to experimental data on a long nuclear isotope chain for low excitation energies, one obtains the results for the inverse level-density parameter $K$, which differs significantly from those of neutron resonances, due to shell, isotopic asymmetry, and pairing effects.

description: We study the embedding of the quadratic model of chaotic inflation into the 4D, N=1 minimal theories of supergravity by the use of massive vector multiplets and investigate its robustness against higher order corrections. In particular, we investigate the criterion of technical naturalness for the inflaton potential. In the framework of the new-minimal formulation the massive vector multiplet is built in terms of a real linear multiplet coupled to a vector multiplet via the 4D analog of the Green-Schwarz term. This theory gives rise to a single-field quadratic model of chaotic inflation, which is protected by an shift symmetry which naturally suppresses the higher order corrections. The embedding in the old-minimal formulation is again achieved in terms of a massive vector multiplet and also gives rise to single-field inflation. Nevertheless in this case there is no obvious symmetry to protect the model from higher order corrections.

Prolegomena in Aphraatis Sapientis Persae Sermones Homileticos

Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 1878

description: The German scholar C. J. F. Sasse here in his inaugural dissertation offers a study of the early Syriac author Aphrahat. Writing just a few years after the publication of Wright’s edition of Aphrahat’s Demonstrations (also available from Gorgias Press), Sasse, in the first section of his work, discusses what is known about Aphrahat’s life, then he turns to his main subject, Aphrahat’s writings, the twenty-three Demonstrations, as they are known. He considers their date, style, doctrine, and Aphrahat’s hermeneutical method evidenced in them. In addition, Sasse spends several pages comparing the Armenian translation with the original Syriac, including a list of corrections to the first four homilies. Finally, in the last section, he studies Aphrahat’s biblical citations in comparison with the Peshitta. This early study of Aphrahat has been foundational for later research into this author and it remains a necessary starting point in the secondary literature on “the Persian sage.”

A sweep-based low-rank method for the discrete ordinate transport equation

description: The dynamical low-rank (DLR) approximation is an efficient technique to approximate the solution to matrix differential equations. Recently, the DLR method was applied to radiation transport calculations to reduce memory requirements and computational costs. This work extends the low-rank scheme for the time-dependent radiation transport equation in 2-D and 3-D Cartesian geometries with discrete ordinates discretization in angle (SN method). The reduced system that evolves on a low-rank manifold is constructed via an unconventional basis update and Galerkin integrator to avoid a substep that is backward in time, which could be unstable for dissipative problems. The resulting system preserves the information on angular direction by applying separate low-rank decompositions in each octant where angular intensity has the same sign as the direction cosines. Then, transport sweeps and source iteration can efficiently solve this low-rank-SN system. The numerical results in 2-D and 3-D Cartesian geometries demonstrate that the low-rank solution requires less memory and computational time than solving the full rank equations using transport sweeps without losing accuracy.

description: The need of new diagnostic methods satisfying, as an early detection, a low invasive procedure and a cost-efficient value, is orienting the technological research toward the use of bio-integrated devices, in particular bio-sensors. The set of know-why necessary to achieve this goal is wide, from biochemistry to electronics and is summarized in an emerging branch of electronics, called \textit{proteotronics}. Proteotronics is here here applied to state a comparative analysis of the electrical responses coming from type-1 and type-2 opsins. In particular, the procedure is used as an early investigation of a recently discovered family of opsins, the proteorhodopsins activated by blue light, BPRs. The results reveal some interesting and unexpected similarities between proteins of the two families, suggesting the global electrical response are not strictly linked to the class identity.

Magnetic field amplification and magnetically supported explosions of collapsing, non-rotating stellar cores

description: We study the amplification of magnetic fields in the collapse and the post-bounce evolution of the core of a non-rotating star of 15 solar masses in axisymmetry. To this end, we solve the coupled equations of magnetohydrodynamics and neutrino transport in the two-moment approximation. The pre-collapse magnetic field is strongly amplified by compression in the infall. Initial fields of the order of 1010 G translate into proto-neutron star fields similar to the ones observed in pulsars, while stronger initial fields yield magnetar-like final field strengths. After core bounce, the field is advected through the hydrodynamically unstable neutrino-heating layer, where non-radial flows due to convection and the standing accretion shock instability amplify the field further. Consequently, the resulting amplification factor of order five is the result of the number of small-eddy turnovers taking place within the time scale of advection through the post-shock layer. Due to this limit, most of our models do not reach equipartition between kinetic and magnetic energy and, consequently, evolve similarly to the non-magnetic case, exploding after about 800 ms when a single or few high-entropy bubbles persist over several dynamical time scales. In the model with the strongest initial field we studied, \$10^{12}\$ G, for which equipartition between flow and field is achieved, the magnetic tension favours a much earlier development of such long-lived high-entropy bubbles and enforces a fairly ordered large-scale flow pattern. Consequently, this model, after exhibiting very regular shock oscillations, explodes much earlier than non-magnetic ones.

description: Within the framework of many-body perturbation theory (MBPT) integrated with density functional theory (DFT), a novel defect-subspace projection GW method, the so-called p-GW, is proposed. By avoiding the periodic defect interference through open boundary self-energies, we show that the p-GW can efficiently and accurately describe quasi-particle correlated defect levels in two-dimensional (2D) monolayer MoS$_2$. By comparing two different defect states originating from sulfur vacancy and adatom to existing theoretical and experimental works, we show that our GW correction to the DFT defect levels is precisely modelled. Based on these findings, we expect that our method can provide genuine trap states for various 2D transition-metal dichalcogenide (TMD) monolayers, thus enabling the study of defect-induced effects on the device characteristics of these materials via realistic simulations.
