description: The present work is devoted to the investigation of high cycle fatigue (more than 105 cycles). Smooth specimens made of 35CrMo4 quenched and tempered steel were loaded at 56 Hz in fully reversed plane bending. The pattern investigation was made with a high-resolution 3D optical profilometer after the tests in specimen areas loaded at different stress amplitudes (stress gradient). Persistent slip bands (extrusions mainly) appear for stress amplitude higher than approximately 0.8 times of the endurance limit. At location loaded at stress amplitude close to the endurance limit a density of slip bands sharply rises and more coarse structures (clusters) appear. A strong connection between the endurance limit and the surface density of persistent slip bands was found.

description: We study the properties of spin-polarized neutron matter at next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order in chiral effective field theory, including two-, three-, and four-neutron interactions. The energy of spin-polarized neutrons is remarkably close to a non-interacting system at least up to saturation density, where interaction effects provide less than 10% corrections. This shows that the physics of neutron matter is similar to a unitary gas well beyond the scattering-length regime. Implications for energy-density functionals and for a possible ferromagnetic transition in neutron stars are discussed. Our predictions can be tested with lattice QCD, and we present results for varying pion mass.

description: The nonperturbative regime of electron-positron pair creation by a relativistic proton beam colliding with a highly intense bichromatic laser field is studied. The laser wave is composed of a strong low-frequency and a weak high-frequency mode, with mutually orthogonal polarization vectors. We show that the presence of the high-frequency field component can strongly enhance the pair-creation rate. Besides, a characteristic influence of the high-frequency mode on the angular and energy distributions of the created particles is demonstrated, both in the nuclear rest frame and the laboratory frame.

description: In the Fall of 2013, Georgia Tech offered a 'flipped' calculus-based introductory mechanics class as an alternative to the traditional large-enrollment lecture class. This class flipped instruction by introducing new material outside of the classroom through pre-recorded, lecture videos. Video lectures constituted students' initial introduction to course material. We analyze how students engaged with online lecture videos via 'clickstream' data, consisting of time-stamped interactions (plays, pauses, seeks, etc.) with the online video player. Analysis of these events has shown that students may be focusing on elements of the video that facilitate a 'correct' solution.

On T-duality transformations for the three-sphere

description: We study collective T-duality transformations along one, two and three directions of isometry for the three-sphere with H-flux. Our aim is to obtain new non-geometric backgrounds along lines similar to the example of the three-torus. However, the resulting backgrounds turn out to be geometric in nature. To perform the duality transformations, we develop a novel procedure for non-abelian T-duality, which follows a route different compared to the known literature, and which highlights the underlying structure from an alternative point of view.

subject: Pragmatism

description: This thesis seeks to answer the question: Does philosophy aim for truth? To address this question, I must first ask a more general question: What is it to aim for truth? My approach to answering this latter question uses pragmatism as its frame of reference by exploring the practical significance of the aim for truth. Huw Price argues that this aim provides a common purpose that helps us to engage with each other, turning our inquiry into a shared enterprise. (Price 2003) Price’s theory gives an apt description of the practical role of aiming for truth. However, I argue that this aim, conceived as such, is not advantageous to all of our inquiries. This thesis formulates a distinction between shared inquiry that aims for truth — such as scientific inquiry — and personal inquiry that lacks this aim — such as the inquiry into matters of taste. While this distinction is practical, it has many theoretical reverberations that this thesis tries to trace. It cuts across many topics of philosophical concern, such as the mechanics of disagreement, the nature of truth, objectivity, rationality, and knowledge. After dressing up the practical distinction between personal and shared inquiry in these theoretical layers, I apply it to the inquiry to which this thesis belongs. I argue against the popular belief that philosophical inquiry is scientific and thus shared. An analysis of philosophical practices shows that philosophical inquiry is personal. As a result, my thesis concludes that philosophy does not aim for truth.

description: In this paper we describe and thoroughly discuss three reported experiments in quantum optics (QO) involving interferometers and non-linear crystals. We show that by using a graphical method and an over-simplified model of the parametric down-conversion process, we arrive to explain all the important results reported in the respective papers. Indistinguishability is discussed in the case of separable/non-separable (i.e. entangled) quantum systems and our interpretation is sometimes at variance with the one given by the authors reporting the experiments.

Year: 2004

description: The natural ageing of samples made from heavily-deformed commercial low-carbon steels and taken after their subjecting to hot and cold modes of rolling was investigated using hardness measurements. The differences were established in mechanisms and kinetics of natural ageing of heavily-deformed samples as compared to those of natural ageing of slightly-deformed samples. The explanation of the results obtained was suggested on the basis of notions about principal distinctive features of a sample state developed after large plastic deformations. The physical mesomechanics concepts and the results obtained when investigating the effect of high strain rates on properties of alloys were also used for this purpose.

description: We derive one-shot upper bounds for quantum noisy channel codes. We do so by regarding a channel code as a bipartite operation with an encoder belonging to the sender and a decoder belonging to the receiver, and imposing constraints on the bipartite operation. We investigate the power of codes whose bipartite operation is non-signalling from Alice to Bob, positive-partial transpose (PPT) preserving, or both, and derive a simple semidefinite program for the achievable entanglement fidelity. Using the semidefinite program, we show that the non-signalling assisted quantum capacity for memoryless channels is equal to the entanglement-assisted capacity. We also relate our PPT-preserving codes and the PPT-preserving entanglement distillation protocols studied by Rains. Applying these results to a concrete example, the 3-dimensional Werner-Holevo channel, we find that codes that are non-signalling and PPT-preserving can be strictly less powerful than codes satisfying either one of the constraints, and therefore provide a tighter bound for unassisted codes. Furthermore, PPT-preserving non-signalling codes can send one qubit perfectly over two uses of the channel, which has no quantum capacity. We discuss whether this can be interpreted as a form of superactivation of quantum capacity.

Отражение ультразвуковых импульсов от границы воды с неидеально упругими средами: экспериментальные данные для случая наклонного падения

description: Проведены лабораторные эксперименты по изучению отражения ультразвуковых импульсов от границы воды с неидеально упругими средами для случая наклонного падения. Показано, что для границы воды и материала со слабыми поглощающими свойствами (плексигласа) экспериментальные данные хорошо описываются теоретической зависимостью, полученной для идеально упругих сред. Для данных, полученных для границы материалов с сильным контрастом поглощающих свойств («вода пластилин»), такая зависимость дает большие погрешности в области критических углов. В то же время, кривая, рассчитанная с учетом поглощения, удовлетворительно аппроксимирует экспериментальные данные. Для границы воды с водонасыщенным песком экспериментальные коэффициенты отражения неудовлетворительно описываются теоретическими зависимостями, полученными для сплошных сред как без учета, так и с учетом поглощения. Анализируются возможные причины этого эффекта

description: We determine the optical response of a thin and dense layer of interacting quantum emitters. We show that in such a dense system, the Lorentz redshift and the associated interaction broadening can be used to control the transmission and reflection spectra. In the presence of overlapping resonances, a Dipole-Induced Electromagnetic Transparency (DIET) regime, similar to Electromagnetically Induced Transparency (EIT), may be achieved. DIET relies on destructive interference between the electromagnetic waves emitted by quantum emitters. Carefully tuning material parameters allows to achieve narrow transmission windows in otherwise completely opaque media. We analyze in details this coherent and collective effect using a generalized Lorentz model and show how it can be controlled. Several potential applications of the phenomenon, such as slow light, are proposed.
Extremal Aspects of the Erdős--Gallai--Tuza Conjecture

Publisher: name: arXiv

description: Erdős, Gallai, and Tuza posed the following problem: given an $n$-vertex graph $G$, let $τ_1(G)$ denote the smallest size of a set of edges whose deletion makes $G$ triangle-free, and let $α_1(G)$ denote the largest size of a set of edges containing at most one edge from each triangle of $G$. Is it always the case that $α_1(G) + τ_1(G) \leq n^2/4$? We also consider a variant on this conjecture: if $τ_B(G)$ is the smallest size of an edge set whose deletion makes $G$ bipartite, does the stronger inequality $α_1(G) + τ_B(G) \leq n^2/4$ always hold? By considering the structure of a minimal counterexample to each version of the conjecture, we obtain two main results. Our first result states that any minimum counterexample to the original Erdős--Gallai--Tuza Conjecture has "dense edge cuts", and in particular has minimum degree greater than $n/2$. This implies that the conjecture holds for all graphs if and only if it holds for all triangular graphs (graphs where every edge lies in a triangle). Our second result states that $α_1(G) + τ_B(G) \leq n^2/4$ whenever $G$ has no induced subgraph isomorphic to $K_4^-$, the graph obtained from the complete graph $K_4$ by deleting an edge. Thus, the original conjecture also holds for such graphs.

This enhancement of the double Higgs production rate is crucial in understanding the structure of the scalar potential and we determine the maximum allowed enhancement such that the electroweak minimum is a global minimum. The di-Higgs production enhancement can be as large as a factor of ~ 18 (13) for the mass of the heavy Higgs around 270 (420) GeV relative to the Standard Model rate at 14 TeV for parameters corresponding to a global electroweak minimum.

description: Using a component formulation, we construct the supersymmetric action for a superparticle in a three-dimensional Newton-Cartan supergravity background and clarify its symmetries. Our construction proceeds by first constructing the superparticle in a flat background. Next, by boosting up the background symmetries, we replace in a first step the flat background by a Galilean supergravity background. In a second step the Galilean supergravity background is replaced by a Newton-Cartan supergravity background. We extend our results by adding a supersymmetric cosmological constant and compare the non-relativistic superparticle with the relativistic kappa-symmetric three-dimensional superparticle.

description: We present a measurement of the branching fractions for decay from the long-lived $5D_{5/2}$ level in \Ba. The branching fraction for decay into the $6S_{1/2}$ ground state was found to be $0.846(25)_{\mathrm{stat}}(4)_{\mathrm{sys}}$. We also report an improved measurement of the $5D_{5/2}$ lifetime, $τ_{5D_{5/2}}=31.2(0.9)$~s. Together these measurements provide the first experimental determination of transition rates for decay out of the $5D_{5/2}$ level. The low ($<7 \times 10^{-12}$~Torr) pressure in the ion trap in which these measurements were made simplified data acquisition and analysis. Comparison of the experimental results with theoretical predictions of the transition rates shows good agreement.

description: We analyze the superfluid phase transition of harmonically confined bosons with long-range interaction in both two and three dimensions in a broad parameter range from weak to strong coupling. We observe that the onset of superfluidity occurs in $3D$ at significantly lower temperatures compared to $2D$. This is demonstrated to be a quantum degeneracy effect. In addition, the spatial distribution of superfluidity across the shells of the clusters is investigated. It is found that superfluidity is substantially reduced in the outer layers due to increased correlation effects.

description: Background: Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) are persistent flame retardants that are found in the environment. Several reports on PBDEs focus on biomonitoring of these chemicals. However, less is understood in terms of PBDE exposure-related adverse effects in vulnerable populations such as mothers and their neonates. Previous toxicology studies indicate that PBDEs display endocrine disrupting properties. This work aimed to investigate the effect of PBDE on adverse pregnancy outcomes and determine an understanding of related maternal toxicity mechanisms with effect biomarkers. Methods: A systematic review was conducted where articles were collected from four different databases: PubMed, Scopus, Embase and Web of Science. A total of 54 articles that met the inclusion criteria were included from the period of January 2005 and February 2022. Results: There were 7 studies on maternal outcomes, 29 articles for birth outcomes and 18 on effect biomarkers. There were consistencies in the direction of association between PBDE exposures in pregnancy and risk of gestational diabetes, gestational hypertension, and pre-eclampsia based on the few studies in this review. Maternal PBDE level was implicated in preterm birth and fetal growth restriction. Most studies found a negative trend in correlation with birth weight, birth length and head circumference. BDE-28 was a common congener to be associated in a decrease in birth length. Studies on thyroid hormones were inconsistent but it was observed that BDE-47 was predominantly associated with a decrease in the relationship. Conclusion: The findings from the systematic review demonstrated consistent evidence of the association between PBDEs and adverse pregnancy health outcomes, while others showed inconsistencies. Differing study qualities may have contributed to these findings. More studies are warranted to validate the findings with larger sample sizes and longitudinal study designs.

We characterize the stellar haloes by means of the logarithmic slope of the spherically-averaged stellar density profiles, alphaSTARS at z=0, and we relate these slopes to the properties of the underlying Dark-Matter (DM) haloes, their central galaxies, and their assembly histories. We analyze a sample of ~5,000 galaxies resolved with more than 5x10^4 particles each, and spanning a variety of morphologies and halo masses (3x10^11 < Mvir < 10^14 Msun). We find a strong trend between stellar halo slope and total halo mass, where more massive objects have shallower stellar haloes than the less massive ones (-5.5 \pm 0.5 < alphaSTARS

description: Recent advances in growth techniques have allowed the fabrication of semiconductor nanostructures with mixed wurtzite/zinc-blende crystal phases. Although the optical characterization of these polytypic structures is well eported in the literature, a deeper theoretical understanding of how crystal phase mixing and quantum confinement change the output linear light polarization is still needed. In this paper, we theoretically investigate the mixing effects of wurtzite and zinc-blende phases on the interband absorption and in the degree of light polarization of an InP polytypic superlattice. We use a single 8$\times$8 k$\cdot$p Hamiltonian that describes both crystal phases. Quantum confinement is investigated by changing the size of the polytypic unit cell. We also include the optical confinement effect due to the dielectric mismatch between the superlattice and the vaccum and we show it to be necessary to match experimental results. Our calculations for large wurtzite concentrations and small quantum confinement explain the optical trends of recent photoluminescence excitation measurements. Furthermore, we find a high sensitivity to zinc-blende concentrations in the degree of linear polarization. This sensitivity can be reduced by increasing quantum confinement. In conclusion, our theoretical analysis provides an explanation for optical trends in InP polytypic superlattices, and shows that the interplay of crystal phase mixing and quantum confinement is an area worth exploring for light polarization engineering.

The measurements of heat energy, microand macrohardness and density of deformed specimens are made. The obtained results indicate that the evolution of the material structure plays a leading role in the dynamic process of plastic deformation. It is also found that nondissipative processes prevail at early stages of plastic deformation.

description: This qualitative research study is a narrative cross multi-case analysis. The purpose of this study is to understand how the practice of the Collaborative Problem Solving method (CPS) has impacted the parenting relational experience and their perception of their child's teachers. The CPS method is a problem-solving strategy that is based on the premise that children and people do well if they have the cognitive skills to do well; and, that their behaviour reflects their cognitive skills. The CPS method provides an alternative perspective on human behaviour enabling the CPS practitioner to consider that challenging behaviour is not the will to be challenging, rather it is the inability, at that moment, not to be challenging. This method also provides a sequence of interpersonal engagement that provides the opportunity to regulate (to calm), to relate (to connect), and to reason (to problem-solve) while promoting the experience of co-regulation that strengthens the relational experience. The research question is "What are parents' experiences with their practice of the CPS method and how has their practice impacted their perception and experience of their child's school teacher?" There are two concepts that guide this study: the differential impact of experience and anti-ableism. The foundation and concepts behind the CPS method are also a philosophical framework that guides this study. This study revealed that parents who practice the CPS method have a strong connection to the philosophy behind the method and discovers that the practice of the CPS method can impact a parent's perception and experience of their children's teacher, however, that process can be disrupted by the parent's experience of trauma should the teacher be involved in the traumatic event.

description: Abstract

This study aims to investigate the parallel mediation of eco-innovation and sustainable competitive advantage in the relationship between green marketing orientation and business performance in manufacturing firms located in China. The positivist paradigm is adopted in this study, with 420 valid questionnaires collected from the managers and executives of manufacturing firms. The Smart-PLS has been used to analyze the data. Results show that three dimensions of green marketing orientation significantly impacts eco-innovation, sustainable competitive advantages, and business performance. Furthermore, it is also found that eco-innovation and sustainable competitive advantages mediate the relationship between green market orientation and business performance. The results also reveal the mediation of sustainable competitive advantages in the relationship between eco-innovation and business performance. This study has presented valuable insights for managers, owners, and executives of manufacturing firms and policymakers to gain sustainable business performance. This study provides a unique and original contribution to the existing body of knowledge on green marketing. It achieves this by combining insights from green marketing orientation, eco-innovation, and sustainable competitive advantage. The information it offers is highly helpful for managers and legislators, highlighting the importance of adopting a well-rounded approach to economic, environmental, and social concerns inside manufacturing companies. The novelty lies in showcasing how the implementation of a green market orientation and eco-innovation contributes to achieving a sustainable competitive advantage, consequently improving the overall performance of the organization. The study specifically examines the complex connection between these factors within manufacturing companies, providing novel viewpoints in the age of sustainable development and increased environmental consciousness.
title: Identification of microtubule proteins in griseofulvin sensitive and resistant yeasts.

description: The effects of the anti-fungal antibiotic griseofulvin on the growth and cytology of a sensitive yeast Protomyces inundatus were investigated using light, scanning and transmission electron microscopic techniques. This drug was found to inhibit the growth of Protomyces, causing the cells to be arrested in cell division. Electron microscopy revealed that griseofulvin did not cause the disaggregation of nuclear microtubules, however the microtubules appeared to be assembled in a disorganised manner. Differences in sensitivity to griseofulvin between the insensitive Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Protomyces inundatus were found not to be the result of differences in permeability to the drug. Both yeasts appeared to take up the drug very rapidly and to a similar extent. The problems associated with the study of griseofulvin uptake are highlighted and discussed. Microtubule proteins were investigated in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Initial attempts to purify microtubules from this yeast by assembly-disassembly were unsuccessful due to the inhibitory activity present in the Saccharomyces extracts. Protease activity, GTP-ase activity and RNA were found to contribute to this inhibitory activity. The addition of glycerol to assembly mixtures also reduced the inhibition. Microtubule proteins were identified from Saccharomyces cerevisiae by co-polymerisation of 3%-labelled cell extract with brain microtubule protein which was either unmodified or depleted in microtubule-associated proteins (MAPs) by assembly in dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO). Using this technique, a number of radioactive proteins co-polymerising throughout three cycles of assembly-disassembly were detected.. These had estimated SDS-molecular weights of 230,000; 200,000; 130,000; 110,000; 73,000; 55,000; 52,000 and 49,000 daltons. The 55,000 and 52,000 dalton proteins eluted in the unbound fraction i.e. behaved as tubulin, during phosphocellulose chromatography of the copolymer. The 55,000 dalton protein co-migrated with brain β-tubulin on sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), however no yeast protein co-migrating with brain tubulin was observed. Remaining co-polymerised Saccharomyces proteins bound to phosphocellulose and were eluted with 0.25-0.5M salt. Saccharomyces co-polymer preparations assembled with a reduced critical concentration compared with a control, and contained ring-like structures in depolymerised preparations, which were absent in the control suggesting the presence of yeast MAPs. Similar co-polymerisation was performed using Protomyces inundatus. Differences in putative MAPs were observed compared with Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

description: We propose a straightforward and effective approach for quantifying the band inversion induced by spin-orbit coupling in band insulators. In this approach we define a quantity as a function of wavevector in the Brillouin zone measuring the spillage between the occupied states of a system with and without SOC. Plots of the spillage throughout the BZ provide a ready indication of the number and location of band inversions driven by SOC. To illustrate the method, we apply this approach to the 2D Kane-Mele model, a 2D Bi bilayer with applied Zeeman field, and to first-principles calculations of some 3D materials including both trivial and \Z2\ topological insulators. We argue that the distribution of spillage in the BZ is closely related to the topological indices in these systems. Our approach provides a fresh perspective for understanding topological character in band theory, and should be helpful in searching for new materials with non-trivial band topology.

description: The $ε$-logic (which is called $ε$E-logic in this paper) of Kuyper and Terwijn is a variant of first order logic with the same syntax, in which the models are equipped with probability measures and in which the $\forall x$ quantifier is interpreted as "there exists a set $A$ of measure $\ge 1 - ε$ such that for each $x \in A$, ...." Previously, Kuyper and Terwijn proved that the general satisfiability and validity problems for this logic are, i) for rational $ε\in (0, 1)$, respectively $Σ^1_1$-complete and $Π^1_1$-hard, and ii) for $ε= 0$, respectively decidable and $Σ^0_1$-complete. The adjective "general" here means "uniformly over all languages." We extend these results in the scenario of finite models. In particular, we show that the problems of satisfiability by and validity over finite models in $ε$E-logic are, i) for rational $ε\in (0, 1)$, respectively $Σ^0_1$- and $Π^0_1$-complete, and ii) for $ε= 0$, respectively decidable and $Π^0_1$-complete. Although partial results toward the countable case are also achieved, the computability of $ε$E-logic over countable models still remains largely unsolved. In addition, most of the results, of this paper and of Kuyper and Terwijn, do not apply to individual languages with a finite number of unary predicates. Reducing this requirement continues to be a major point of research. On the positive side, we derive the decidability of the corresponding problems for monadic relational languages --- equality- and function-free languages with finitely many unary and zero other predicates. This result holds for all three of the unrestricted, the countable, and the finite model cases. Applications in computational learning theory, weighted graphs, and neural networks are discussed in the context of these decidability and undecidability results.

description: The simplicity of maximally supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory makes it an ideal theoretical laboratory for developing computational tools, which eventually find their way to QCD applications. In this contribution, we continue the investigation of a recent proposal by Basso, Sever and Vieira, for the nonperturbative description of its planar scattering amplitudes, as an expansion around collinear kinematics. The method of arXiv:1310.5735, for computing the integrals the latter proposal predicts for the leading term in the expansion of the 6-point remainder function, is extended to one of the subleading terms. In particular, we focus on the contribution of the 2-gluon bound state in the dual flux tube picture, proving its general form at any order in the coupling, and providing explicit expressions up to 6 loops. These are included in the ancillary file accompanying the version of this article on the arXiv.

description: We examine the mechanical properties of graphene devices stretched on flexible elastomer substrates. Using atomic force microscopy, transport measurements, and mechanics simulations, we show that micro-rips form in the graphene during the initial application of tensile strain; however subsequent applications of the same tensile strain elastically open and close the existing rips. Correspondingly, while the initial tensile strain degrades the devices' transport properties, subsequent strain-relaxation cycles affect transport only moderately, and in a largely reversible fashion, yielding robust electrical transport even after partial mechanical failure.
Polar Kerr effect from chiral-nematic charge order

description: We analyze the polar Kerr effect in an itinerant electron system on a square lattice in the presence of a composite charge order proposed for the pseudogap state in underdoped cuprates. This composite charge order preserves discrete translational symmetries, and is "chiral-nematic" in the sense that it breaks time-reversal symmetry, mirror symmetries in $x$ and $y$ directions, and $C_4$ lattice rotation symmetry. The Kerr angle $θ_K$ in $C_4$-symmetric system is proportional to the antisymmetric component of the anomalous Hall conductivity $σ_{xy}-σ_{yx}$. We show that this result holds when $C_4$ symmetry is broken. We show that in order for $σ_{xy}$ and $σ_{yx}$ to be non-zero the mirror symmetries in $x$ and $y$ directions have to be broken, and that for $σ_{xy}-σ_{yx}$ to be non-zero time-reversal symmetry has to be broken. The chiral-nematic charge order satisfies all these conditions, such that a non-zero signal in a polar Kerr effect experiment is symmetry allowed. We further show that to get a non-zero $θ_K$ in a one-band spin-fluctuation scenario, in the absence of disorder, one has to extend the spin-mediated interaction to momenta away from $(π,π)$ and has to include particle-hole asymmetry. Alternatively, in the presence of disorder one can get a non-zero $θ_K$ from impurity scattering: either due to skew scattering (with non-Gaussian disorder) or due to particle-hole asymmetry in case of Gaussian disorder. The impurity analysis in our case is similar to that in earlier works on Kerr effect in $p_x+ip_y$ superconductor, however in our case the magnitude of $θ_K$ is enhanced by the flattening of the Fermi surface in the "hot" regions which mostly contribute to charge order.
