description: Turbulent mixing layers over cavities can couple with acoustic waves and lead to undesired oscillations. To understand the nonlinear aspects of this phenomenon, a turbulent mixing layer over a deep cavity at Reynolds number 150 000 is considered and its response to harmonic forcing is analysed with large-eddy simulations (LES) and linearised Navier-Stokes equations (LNSE). As a model of incoming acoustic perturbations, spatially uniform time-harmonic forcing is applied at the cavity end, with amplitudes in the wide range 0.045-8.9% of the bulk velocity. Compressible LES provide reference nonlinear responses of the shear layer, and the associated mean flows. Linear responses are calculated with the incompressible LNSE around the LES mean flows; they predict well the amplification (both measured with kinetic energy and with a proxy for vortex sound production) and capture the nonlinear saturation observed as the forcing amplitude increases and the mixing layer thickens. Perhaps surprisingly, LNSE calculations based on a monochromatic (single frequency) assumption yield a good agreement even though higher harmonics and their nonlinear interaction (Reynolds stresses) are not negligible. However, the leading Reynolds stresses do not force the mixing layer efficiently, as shown by a comparison with the optimal volume forcing obtained in a resolvent analysis. Thus, they cannot fully benefit from the potential for amplification available in the flow. Finally, the sensitivity of the optimal harmonic forcing at the cavity end is computed with an adjoint method. The sensitivities to mean flow modification and to a localised feedback (structural sensitivity) both identify the upstream cavity corner as the region where a small-amplitude modification has the strongest effect. This can guide in a systematic way the design of strategies for the control of amplification and saturation mechanisms.

description: Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine the rate of conversion and complications with laparoscopic myomectomy. Material and Methods: It was a retrospective analysis of 43 laparoscopic myomectomy cases conducted at Vinayaka Missions Medical College & Hospital over the course of 28 months, from December 2015 to March 2018. Demography, myomectomy signs, position and number of fibroids, surgery performed, difficulties and complications encountered, and the need for conversion to open surgery were all examined. Results: A total of 108myomas were removed on 43 patients. Patients undergoing laparoscopic myomectomy were 32.16 years old on average. Just one fibroid existed in 24 patients. Only 5 patients had fibroids more than 4 in number. In 8 patients the largest fibroid was less than 5 cms, 6-12 cms in 34 women. One patient had fibroid measuring 15 cm. Of the 108 fibroids removed 80 were intramural. There was only one conversion to Laparotomy. Two patients had excessive blood loss and 8 patients had to be transfused blood intra operatively or postoperatively. Conclusion: Laparoscopic removal of the myomas is being witnessed as a safer technique apart from the other benefits related with the laparoscopic surgery. Our findings indicate that laparoscopy is a safe and successful treatment for myomectomy, also in fibroids with a diameter of 15 cm.

description: InGaN alloys with (0001) or (000-1) polarities are grown by plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy. Scanning tunneling microscopy images, interpreted using first-principles theoretical computations, show that there is a strong indium surface segregation on InGaN for both (0001) and (000-1) polarities. Evidence for the existence and stability of a structure containing two adlayers of indium on the In-rich InGaN(0001) surface is reported. The dependence on growth temperature and group III/V ratio of indium incorporation in InGaN is reported, and a quantitative model based on indium surface segregation is proposed to explain the observed incorporation.

description: We describe the kinetics and thermodynamics of copolymers undergoing recombination reactions, which are important for prebiotic chemistry. We use two approaches: the first one, based on chemical rate equations and the mass-action law describes the infinite size limit, while the second one, based on the chemical master equation, describes systems of finite size. We compare the predictions of both approaches for the relaxation of thermodynamic quantities towards equilibrium. We find that for some choice of initial conditions, the entropy of the sequence distribution can be lowered at the expense of increasing the entropy of the length distribution. We consider mainly energetically neutral reactions, except for one simple case of non-neutral reactions.

description: We associate to a finite digraph $D$ a lattice polytope $P_D$ whose vertices are the rows of the Laplacian matrix of $D$. This generalizes a construction introduced by Braun and the third author. As a consequence of the Matrix-Tree Theorem, we show that the normalized volume of $P_D$ equals the complexity of $D$, and $P_D$ contains the origin in its relative interior if and only if $D$ is strongly connected. Interesting connections with other families of simplices are established and then used to describe reflexivity, $h^*$-polynomial, and integer decomposition property of $P_D$ in these cases. We extend Braun and Meyer's study of cycles by considering cycle digraphs. In this setting we characterize reflexivity and show there are only four non-trivial reflexive Laplacian simplices having the integer decomposition property.

description: We present a search for γ-ray emission from the direction of the newly discovered dwarf galaxy Reticulum II. Using Fermi-LAT Collaboration data, we detect a signal that exceeds expected backgrounds between ∼2–10 GeV and is consistent with annihilation of dark matter for particle masses less than a few ×102 GeV. Modeling the background as a Poisson process based on Fermi-LAT diffuse models, and taking into account trial factors, we detect emission withp value less than 9.8×10−5 (>3.7σ). An alternative, model-independent treatment of the background reduces the significance, raising the p value to 9.7×10−3 (2.3σ). Even in this case, however, Reticulum II has the most significant γ-ray signal of any known dwarf galaxy. If Reticulum II has a dark-matter halo that is similar to those inferred for other nearby dwarfs, the signal is consistent with the s-wave relic abundance cross section for annihilation.

description: It is anticipated that the Pierre Auger Observatory can be used to detect cosmic neutrinos of >10^19 eV that arrive at very large zenith angles. However showers created by neutrino interactions close to the detector must be picked out against a background of similar events initiated by cosmic ray nuclei. As a step towards understanding this background, we have made the first detailed analysis of air showers recorded at Haverah Park (an array which used similar detectors to those planned for the Auger Observatory) with zenith angles above 60 degs. We find that the differential shower rate from 60 degs to 80 degs. can be predicted accurately when we adopt the known primary energy spectrum above 10^17 eV and assume the QGSJET model and proton primaries. Details of the calculation are given.

description: Although there is a connection between fertility and fibroid, no cause-and-effect relationship has been identified. The majority of the research comes from infertility clinics and referral hospitals. In a medical institution, a retrospective study was conducted with direct patients from a rural poor socioeconomic community. The reproductive performance of 70 women with fibroids was compared to that of an equivalent number of age-matched women who attended Gynecological Outpatients. Women with fibroid have a fecundity of 2.46, compared to 2.56 in controls. While the rate of conception is marginally higher in women with sub mucous fibroids than in controls, the live birth rate is substantially lower. Pregnancy loss is nearly double in women with submucous fibroids compared to control women. Women with fibroids that were not submucosal did just as well as controls. As a result, we can deduce that women with submucous fibroids lose more pregnancies and try to have more conceptions in their attempt to have children. The relationship between fibroids and fertility and reproductive performances is well established.

Production of high temperature superconducting Thallium-based thin-film coatings
Creators: name: Saba, Aisha
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2019

description: The wide study of the future circular collider (FCC) comes with lots of challenges and notions, and one of the most important challenges is to achieve beam stability and quality. In LHC, the emitted synchrotron radiations are absorbed by the beam screen with the copper coatings. But for the working condition of the FCC, 40-60 K, copper might not provide enough low surface resistance. So, to overcome this challenge, the study of high-temperature superconductors is suggested. The thallium 1223 phase is the noteworthy member of the thallium cuprate family due to its high critical temperature, low anisotropy, low surface resistance, and high critical current density. One of the most important features of the thallium-based coating is that it can be coated on a curved surface. At CNR SPIN, the thallium based superconducting bulk samples and thin films are being synthesized and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), SEM and resistivity measurements.

We consider several different implementation optimizations in C++ and compare their performance to that of vector and multiset from the standard library on sequences with up to $10^8$ elements. Our fastest implementation uses much less space than multiset while providing speedups of $40\times$ for access operations compared to multiset and speedups of $10.000\times$ compared to vector for insertion and deletion operations while being competitive with both data structures for all other operations.

description: Based on the Kosterlitz-Thouless-Halperin-Nelson-Young (KTHNY) theory of two-dimensional melting and the analogy between Laughlin states and the two-dimensional one-component plasma (2DOCP), we investigate the possibility of liquid crystalline states in a single Landau level (LL). We introduce many-body trial wavefunctions that are translationally invariant but posess 2-fold (i.e. {\em nematic}), 4-fold ({\em tetratic}) or 6-fold ({\em hexatic}) broken rotational symmetry at respective filling factors $ν= 1/3$, 1/5 and 1/7 of the valence LL. We find that the above liquid crystalline states exhibit a soft charge density wave (CDW) which underlies the translationally invariant state but which is destroyed by quantum fluctuations. By means of Monte Carlo (MC) simulations, we determine that, for a considerable variety of interaction potentials, the anisotropic states are energetically unfavorable for the lowest and first excited LL's (with index $L = 0, 1$), whereas the nematic is favorable at the second excited LL ($L = 2$).

description: Using Υ(2S) and Υ(3S) data collected with the CLEO III detector we have searched for decays of χbJ to final states with open charm. We fully reconstruct D0 mesons with pD0>2.5 GeV/c in three decay modes (K-π+, K-π+π0, and K-π-π+π+) in coincidence with radiative transition photons that tag the production of one of the χbJ(nP) states. Significant signals are obtained for the two J=1 states. Recent nonrelativistic QCD (NRQCD) calculations of χbJ(nP)→cc̅ X depend on one nonperturbative parameter per χbJ triplet. The extrapolation from the observed D0X rate over a limited momentum range to a full cc̅ X rate also depends on these same parameters. Using our data to fit for these parameters, we extract results which agree well with NRQCD predictions, confirming the expectation that charm production is largest for the J=1 states. In particular, for J=1, our results are consistent with cc̅ g accounting for about one-quarter of all hadronic decays.

description: High-quality sources of single photons are of paramount importance for quantum communication, sensing and metrology. To these ends, resonantly excited two-level systems based on self-assembled quantum dots have recently generated widespread interest. Nevertheless, we have recently shown that for resonantly excited two-level systems, emission of a photon during the presence of the excitation laser pulse and subsequent re-excitation results in a degradation of the obtainable single-photon purity. Here, we demonstrate that generating single photons from self-assembled quantum dots with a scheme based on two-photon excitation of the biexciton strongly suppresses the re-excitation. Specifically, the pulse-length dependence of the multi-photon error rate reveals a quadratic dependence in contrast to the linear dependence of resonantly excited two-level systems, improving the obtainable multi-photon error rate by several orders of magnitude for short pulses. We support our experiments with a new theoretical framework and simulation methodology to understand few-photon sources.

description: A new method of stochastically estimating the low-lying effects of quark propagation is proposed which allows accurate determinations of temporal correlations of single-hadron and multihadron operators in lattice QCD. The method is well suited for calculations in large volumes. Contributions involving quark propagation connecting hadron sink operators at the same final time can be handled in a straightforward manner, even for a large number of final time slices. The method exploits Laplacian Heaviside (LapH) smearing. ZN noise is introduced in a novel way, and variance reduction is achieved using judiciously-chosen noise-dilution projectors. The method is tested using isoscalar mesons in the scalar, pseudoscalar, and vector channels, and using the two-pion system of total isospin I=0, 1, 2 on large anisotropic 243×128 lattices with spatial spacing as∼0.12 fm and temporal spacing at∼0.034 fm for pion masses mπ≈390 and 240 MeV.

description: The tensile strained Si(111) layers grown on top of Ge(111) substrates are studied by combining scanning tunneling microscopy, low energy electron diffraction and first-principles calculations. It is shown that the layers exhibit c(2x4) domains, which are separated by domain walls along directions. A model structure for the c(2x4) domains is proposed, which shows low formation energy and good agreement with the experimental data. The results of our calculations suggest that Ge atoms are likely to replace Si atoms with dangling bonds on the surface (rest-atoms and adatoms), thus significantly lowering the surface energy and inducing the formation of domain walls. The experiments and calculations demonstrate that when surface strain changes from compressive to tensile, the (111) reconstruction converts from dimer-adatom-stacking fault-based to adatom-based structures.
Partial restoration of spin-isospin SU(4) Symmetry and the One-QRPA method in Double Beta Decay

description: The one-QRPA method is used to describe simultaneously both double decay beta modes, giving special attention to the partial restoration of spin-isospin SU(4) symmetry. To implement this restoration and to fix the model parameters, we resort to the energetics of Gamow-Teller resonances and to the minima of the single $β^+$-decay strengths. This makes the theory predictive regarding the $ββ_{2ν}$-decay, producing the $2ν$ moments in $^{48}$Ca, $^{76}$Ge, $^{82}$Se, $^{96}$Zr, $^{100}$Mo, $^{128,130}$Te, and $^{150}$Nd, that are of the same order of magnitude as the experimental ones; however, the agreement with $ββ_{2ν}$ data is only modest. To include contributions coming from induced nuclear weak currents, we extend the $ββ_{0ν}$-decay formalism employed previously in C. Barbero et. al, Nuc. Phys. A628, 170 (1998). The numerical results for the $ββ_{0ν}$ moments in the above mentioned nuclei are similar to those obtained in other theoretical studies although smaller on averag by $\sim 40\%$. We attribute this difference basically to the one-QRPA-method, employed here for the first time, instead of the currently used two-QRPA-method. The difference is partially due to the way of carrying out the restoration of the spin-isospin symmetry. It is hard to say which is the best way to make the restoration, since the $ββ_{0ν}$ moments are not experimentally measurable. The numerical uncertainties in the $ββ$ moments, related with i) their strong dependence on the residual interaction in the p-p channel when evaluated within the QRPA, and ii) lack of proper knowledge of single-particle energies, have been quantified. It is concluded that the partial restoration of the SU (4) symmetry is crucial in the description of the $ββ$-decays, regardless of the nuclear model used.

description: The angle between the stellar spin angular momentum and the planetary orbital angular momentum --- spin-orbit angle --- is one of the key parameters in understanding a planetary system's architecture and formation history. Traditionally, only a projected (or line of sight) version of this angle can be feasibly measured. A planet's true 3-D spin-orbit angle is more difficult to constrain; as such, only a handful of true spin-orbit angles have been determined to date. Our current research will significantly expand spin-orbit angle demographics by measuring true spin-orbit angles of hot Jupiters orbiting A/F-type stars observed by TESS, where spin-orbit misalignment is most common. We are measuring true spin-orbit angles using the gravity-darkening transit analysis technique, which applies specifically to high-mass, rapidly-rotating stars. With precision photometry from TESS, we have for the first time the opportunity to obtain true spin-orbit angles en masse in a straightforward and cost-effective way. Our team's proposed research will improve accessibility to studying planets transiting A/F stars, a subset that encompasses up to 40% of expected TESS planet discoveries. We will also measure valuable and difficult-to-obtain stellar parameters such as oblateness and effective temperature gradient, which will be necessary for future atmospheric studies of the selected planets.

description: Although mathematics pedagogy in Chinese classrooms is presumed to be mostly teacher-centered, the Dulangkou secondary school has a strong national reputation of having reformed its pedagogy to be student-centered. In this comparative case study, we used the Reformed Teaching Observation Protocol (RTOP) to investigate whether the pedagogy used at Dulangkou meets the description of student-centered pedagogy (SCP) as elaborated in the international literature and relative to School Y, a Chinese secondary with a similar context as Dulangkou but purported to use teacher-centered pedagogy (TCP). The results showed significant differences between the observed lessons in the two schools, with Dulangkou’s lessons rated as more student-centered than those in School Y. Yet only 1 out of the 13 lessons observed at Dulangkou used SCP; the rest used transitional pedagogy combing TCP and SCP. Implications for research and practice are discussed in light of these findings.

description: Fast digitisers and digital pulse processing have been widely used for spectral application and pulse shape discrimination (PSD) owing to their advantages in terms of compactness, higher trigger rates, offline analysis, etc. Meanwhile, the noise of readout electronics is usually trivial for organic, plastic, or liquid scintillator with PSD ability because of their poor intrinsic energy resolution. However, LaBr3(Ce) has been widely used for its excellent energy resolution and has been proven to have PSD ability for alpha/gamma particles. Therefore, designing a digital acquisition system for such scintillators as LaBr3(Ce) with both optimal energy resolution and promising PSD ability is worthwhile. Several experimental research studies about the choice of digitiser properties for liquid scintillators have already been conducted in terms of the sampling rate and vertical resolution. Quantitative analysis on the influence of waveform digitisers, that is, fast amplifier (optional), sampling rates, and vertical resolution, on both applications is still lacking. The present paper provides quantitative analysis of these factors and, hence, general rules about the optimal design of digitisers for both energy resolution and PSD application according to the noise analysis of time-variant gated charge integration.

description: The high entropy alloy containing refractory metals Mo-Nb-Ta-W has a body-centered cubic structure, which is not surprising given the complete mutual solubility in BCC solid solutions of all pairs of the constituent elements. However, first principles total energy calculations for the binaries reveal a set of distinct energy minimizing structures implying the likelihood of chemically ordered low-temperature phases. We apply a hybrid Monte Carlo and molecular dynamics method to evaluate the temperature-dependent chemical order. Monte Carlo species swaps allow for equilibration of the structure that cannot be achieved by conventional molecular dynamics. At 300 K (27 °C), a cesium-chloride ordering emerges between mixed (Nb,Ta) sites and mixed (Mo,W) sites. This order is lost at elevated temperatures.

Chinese teachers’ views on implementing problem-based learning in the Chinese mathematics classroom
Creators: name: Zhang, Ying
Publisher: name: Apollo - University of Cambridge Repository
Year: 2022

description: Problem-based learning (PBL) is an important form of student-centred pedagogy that departs from the conventional form of teacher-centred pedagogy often reported in Chinese classrooms, and so there is a need to understand how Chinese teachers perceive PBL. This study used a case study methodology and in-depth focus group discussions with 6 teachers from three Chinese secondary schools to investigate Chinese teachers’ views on the implementation of PBL in Chinese mathematics classrooms. The findings indicated that PBL was relatively accepted by the participants, who believed that PBL could improve students’ problem-solving skills and interest in mathematics. However, participants considered that exclusively using PBL would not be ideal, and they advocated combining PBL with conventional teaching (CT) for the best learning outcomes. Implications for research and practice are discussed in light of these findings.

Stellar Populations in the Large Magellanic Cloud from 2MASS

description: We present a morphological analysis of the feature-rich 2MASS LMC color-magnitude diagram, identifying Galactic and LMC populations and estimating the density of LMC populations alone. We also present the projected spatial distributions of various stellar populations. Major populations are identified based on matching morphological features of the CMD with expected positions of known populations, isochrone fits, and analysis of the projected spatial distributions. The LMC populations along the first-ascent RGB and AGB are quantified. We find the RGB tip at $K_s=12.3\pm0.1$. Preliminary isochrone analysis is done for giant populations in the bar and the outer regions of the Cloud. We find no significant differences in metallicities and ages between the fields. The observed LMC giant branch is well-fit by published tracks in the CIT/CTIO system with a distance modulus of $μ=18.5\pm0.1$, reddening $E_{B-V}=0.15-0.20$, metallicity $Z=0.004^{+0.002}_{-0.001}$ and age 3-13 Gyr. Analysis of deep 2MASS engineering data with six times the standard exposure produces similar estimates.

description: A review of the theoretical and experimental status of hybrid hadrons is presented. The states π1(1400), π1(1600), and π1(2015) are thoroughly reviewed, along with experimental results from GAMS, VES, Obelix, COMPASS, KEK, CLEO, Crystal Barrel, CLAS, and BNL. Theoretical lattice results on the gluelump spectrum, adiabatic potentials, heavy and light hybrids, and transition matrix elements are discussed. These are compared with bag, string, flux tube, and constituent gluon models. Strong and electromagnetic decay models are described and compared to lattice gauge theory results. We conclude that while good evidence for the existence of a light isovector exotic meson exists, its confirmation as a hybrid meson awaits discovery of its iso-partners. We also conclude that lattice gauge theory rules out a number of hybrid models and provides a reference to judge the success of others.

How to mesh up Ewald sums. II. An accurate error estimate for the particle–particle–particle-mesh algorithm

description: We construct an accurate estimate for the root mean square force error of the particle–particle–particle mesh (P3M) algorithm by extending a single particle pair error measure which has been given by Hockney and Eastwood. We also derive an easy to use analytic approximation to the error formula. This allows a straightforward and precise determination of the optimal splitting parameter (as a function of system specifications and P3M parameters) and hence knowledge of the force accuracy prior to the actual simulation. The high quality of the estimate is demonstrated in several examples.
A Directionally Selective Small Target Motion Detecting Visual Neural Network in Cluttered Backgrounds

description: Discriminating targets moving against a cluttered background is a huge challenge, let alone detecting a target as small as one or a few pixels and tracking it in flight. In the fly's visual system, a class of specific neurons, called small target motion detectors (STMDs), have been identified as showing exquisite selectivity for small target motion. Some of the STMDs have also demonstrated directional selectivity which means these STMDs respond strongly only to their preferred motion direction. Directional selectivity is an important property of these STMD neurons which could contribute to tracking small targets such as mates in flight. However, little has been done on systematically modeling these directional selective STMD neurons. In this paper, we propose a directional selective STMD-based neural network (DSTMD) for small target detection in a cluttered background. In the proposed neural network, a new correlation mechanism is introduced for direction selectivity via correlating signals relayed from two pixels. Then, a lateral inhibition mechanism is implemented on the spatial field for size selectivity of STMD neurons. Extensive experiments showed that the proposed neural network not only is in accord with current biological findings, i.e. showing directional preferences, but also worked reliably in detecting small targets against cluttered backgrounds.

description: Orbifold compactifications with continuous Wilson lines have very interesting characteristics and as a consequence they are candidates to obtain realistic models. We perform an analysis of the soft supersymmetry-breaking terms arising in this type of compactifications. We also compare these results with those of orbifolds without including continuous Wilson lines. Their phenomenological properties turn out to be similar.

Few-Body Problems in Hadron Spectroscopy

description: Some rigorous results can be derived using a very simple approach to hadron spectroscopy, in which a static potential is associated with non-relativistic kinematics. Several regularities of the experimental spectrum are explained by such models. It is underlined that certain methods developed for hadronic physics have found applications in other fields, in particular atomic physics. A few results can be extended to cases involving spin-dependent forces or relativistic kinematics.

The Mystery of Ultra-High Energy Cosmic Rays

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2000
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The origin of cosmic rays with energies higher than 10$^{20}$ eV remains a mystery. Accelerating particles up to these energies is a challenge even for the most energetic astrophysical objects known. While the isotropy in arrival directions argues for an extra-galactic origin, the photon-pion production off the cosmic background radiation limits the sources of such particles to systems less than 50 Mpc away from us. The combination of large gyroradii, efficient energy losses, and isotropic arrival directions defies most of the proposed astrophysical accelerators as well as the more exotic alternatives. I briefly review theoretical models for the acceleration and propagation of ultra-high-energy cosmic-rays and discuss the potential for future observatories to resolve this cosmic mystery.

description: Purpose: Comparison of the dissociation kinetics of rapid-acting insulins lispro, aspart, glulisine and human insulin under physiologically relevant conditions. Methods: Dissociation kinetics after dilution were monitored directly in terms of the average molecular mass using combined static and dynamic light scattering. Changes in tertiary structure were detected by near-UV circular dichroism. Results: Glulisine forms compact hexamers in formulation even in the absence of Zn2+. Upon severe dilution, these rapidly dissociate into monomers in less than 10 s. In contrast, in formulations of lispro and aspart, the presence of Zn2+ and phenolic compounds is essential for formation of compact R6 hexamers. These slowly dissociate in times ranging from seconds to one hour depending on the concentration of phenolic additives. The disadvantage of the long dissociation times of lispro and aspart can be diminished by a rapid depletion of the concentration of phenolic additives independent of the insulin dilution. This is especially important in conditions similar to those after subcutaneous injection, where only minor dilution of the insulins occurs. Conclusion: Knowledge of the diverging dissociation mechanisms of lispro and aspart compared to glulisine will be helpful for optimizing formulation conditions of rapid-acting insulins.
