description: Although the dynamics of colloids in the vicinity of a solid interface has been widely characterized in the past, experimental studies of Brownian diffusion close to an air-water interface are rare and limited to particle-interface gap distances larger than the particle size. At the still unexplored lower distances, the dynamics is expected to be extremely sensitive to boundary conditions at the air-water interface. There, ad hoc experiments would provide a quantitative validation of predictions. Using a specially designed dual wave interferometric setup, the 3D dynamics of 9 micrometers diameter particles at a few hundreds of nanometers from an air-water interface is here measured in thermal equilibrium. Intriguingly, while the measured dynamics parallel to the interface approaches expected predictions for slip boundary conditions, the Brownian motion normal to the interface is very close to the predictions for no-slip boundary conditions. These puzzling results are rationalized considering current models of incompressible interfacial flow and deepened developing an ad hoc model which considers the contribution of tiny concentrations of surface active particles at the interface. We argue that such condition governs the particle dynamics in a large spectrum of systems ranging from biofilm formation to flotation process.

description: The present study was aimed to assess the changes in skin microvascular blood flow (SBF) in newly diagnosed hyperglycemic obese subjects, administered with hypocaloric diet. Adult patients were recruited and divided in three groups: NW group (n=54), NG (n=54) and HG (n=54) groups were constituted by normal weight, normoglycemic and hyperglycemic obese subjects, respectively. SBF was measured by laser Doppler perfusion monitoring technique and oscillations in blood flow were analyzed by spectral methods under baseline conditions, at 3 and 6 months of dietary treatment. Under resting conditions, SBF was lower in HG group than in NG and NW ones. Moreover, all subjects showed blood flow oscillations with several frequency components. In particular, hyperglycemic obese patients revealed lower spectral density in myogenic-related component than normoglycemic obese and normal weight ones. Moreover, postocclusive reactive hyperemia (PORH) was impaired in hyperglycemic obese compared to normoglycemic and normal weigh subjects. After hypocaloric diet, in hyperglycemic obese patients there was an improvement in SBF accompanied by recovery in myogenic-related oscillations and arteriolar responses during PORH. In conclusion, hyperglycemia markedly affected peripheral microvascular function; hypocaloric diet ameliorated tissue blood flow.
Exact finite-dimensional reduction for a population of noisy oscillators and its link to Ott-Antonsen and Watanabe-Strogatz theories

description: Populations of globally coupled phase oscillators are described in the thermodynamic limit by kinetic equations for the distribution densities, or equivalently, by infinite hierarchies of equations for the order parameters. Ott and Antonsen [Chaos 18, 037113 (2008)] have found an invariant finite-dimensional subspace on which the dynamics is described by one complex variable per population. For oscillators with Cauchy distributed frequencies or for those driven by Cauchy white noise, this subspace is weakly stable and thus describes the asymptotic dynamics. Here we report on an exact finite-dimensional reduction of the dynamics outside of the Ott-Antonsen subspace. We show, that the evolution from generic initial states can be reduced to that of three complex variables, plus a constant function. For identical noise-free oscillators, this reduction corresponds to the Watanabe-Strogatz system of equations [Phys. Rev. Lett. 70, 2391 (1993)]. We discuss how the reduced system can be used to explore the transient dynamics of perturbed ensembles.

description: Second harmonic generation is enhanced at the surface lattice resonance in plasmonic nanoparticle arrays. We carried out a parametric investigation on two-dimensional lattices composed of gold nanobars where the centrosymmetry is broken at oblique incidence. We study the influence of the periodicity, the incidence angle and the direction of the linear input polarization on the second harmonic generation. Excitation of the surface lattice resonance either at the fundamental or second harmonic wavelength, achieved by varying the incidence angle, enhance the conversion efficiency. As a special case, we demonstrate that both the wavelengths can be simultaneously in resonance for a specific period of the lattice. In this double resonant case, maximum second harmonic power is achieved.

The “Ed Scare” and the Ritualistic Burning of Black Texts
Creators: name: Baugh, Michael
Publisher: name: RSAJournal
Year: 2024

description: This text employs the lens of Afropessimism to articulate the relationship between the Ed Scare and the legacies of anti-Black activity that continue to structure and govern the social world. The Ed Scare, primarily understood as the culture war combat taking place across K-12 and ivory tower arenas, is described here as that which attempts to resolve the ontological nightmare that "wokeness" presents to the non-Black unconscious. Wokeness, rooted in Black parrhesian defiance, heightens White and non-Black fears of the imagined ontological ascension of Blacks and the undermining of White-led value systems. The Scare emerges to confront and slay this “nightmare” (the Black) whose pursuits in the social arena are “unbecoming” of one who has been deemed Humanity’s slave, and whose negation is a prerequisite for the psychic stability of the nation. The Scare emerges from the longstanding tradition of nourishing non-Black life through a call for non-Blacks to forget not their civic and ontological duty (participation in public anti-Black activity). To quell the imagined threat that Blacks are believed to currently and always represent, a consuming fire has once again been kindled in the depths of the collective non-Black world. And what the collective mob desires is to “burn” Blackness in the world of the symbolic and assault Blackness in the realm of the concrete.

description: Analogs of fundamental physical phenomena can be used in two ways. One way consists in reproducing specific aspects of classical or quantum gravity, of quantum fields in curved space or of other high-energy scenarios, on lower-energy corresponding systems. The ``reverse way'' consists in building fundamental physical theories, for instance, quantum gravity models, inspired by the lower-energy corresponding systems. Here we present the case of graphene and other Dirac materials.

What is Left of Human Nature?
Creators: name: Nieddu, Francesco
Publisher: name: RSAJournal
Year: 2024

description: The paper examines Joanna Russ's The Female Man and its radical challenge to the neoliberal concept of humanity. Throughout Western thought, the human has been hierarchically positioned in relation to the non-human realm. This symbolic structure has not only supported human dominance over animals and the natural environment, but has also perpetuated sexist, racist, classist, homophobic, and ethnocentric assumptions within human society. Drawing from the ideas of post-structuralism, deconstructionism, ecology, and feminism, Russ challenges traditional assumptions by blurring boundaries between humanity and the environment, culture and nature, and human and non-human entities (animals and machines), as well as between men and women.


While the novel primarily addresses the problematic definition of female subjectivity, both individual and collective, it also presents an alternative concept of human subjectivity in general. Russ's text presents a view of human nature as a process rather than a stable entity, which can be interpreted as anti-essentialist. This perspective anticipates some of the key aspects of critical posthumanism.


The main category in the representation of this alternative subjectivity is hybridization, which Russ identifies as a principle of poietic and narrative composition that informs the entire novel. This strategy operates on three interconnected levels: thematic hybridization, conveyed through hybrid figures such as the cyborg, android, female man, and transgender character; ontological hybridization, conveyed through the trope of parallel universes commonly found in science fiction; and linguistic and narrative hybridization in the text's postmodern style. At the first level, I focus on the role of technology as an instrument of hybridization and historical change through its capacity to transform the human body. At the second level, I demonstrate how Russ's use of the multiverse narrative challenges Western ontology by rejecting the traditional idea of a unitary essence as the foundation of reality and instead embracing a vision that anticipates the relational ontology of philosophical posthumanism. At the third level, two stylistic strategies are employed to express a new subjectivity: the uncertain and shifting identity of the narrative 'I' and the blurring of the boundaries between the author and the characters. Identity is thus understood not as a fixed and uniform entity but rather as a dynamic process of composition and reconfiguration of fragments.

description: The extended plane wave expansion (EPWE) formulation is derived to obtain the complex band structure of flexural waves in viscoelastic thin phononic crystal plates considering the Kirchhoff-Love plate theory. The presented formulation yields the evanescent behavior of flexural waves in periodic thin plates considering viscoelastic effects. The viscosity is modeled by the standard linear solid model (SLSM), typically used to closely model the behavior of polymers. It is observed that the viscoelasticity influences significantly both the propagating and evanescent Bloch modes. The highest wave attenuation of the viscoelastic phononic thin plate is found around a unit cell filling fraction of 0.37 for higher frequencies considering the least attenuated wave mode. This EPWE formulation broadens the suitable methods to handle evanescent flexural waves in 2-D thin periodic plate systems considering the effects of viscoelasticity on wave attenuation.

description: We investigate the replica symmetry broken (RSB) phase of spin glass (SG) models in a random field defined on Bethe lattices at zero temperature. From the properties of the RSB solution we deduce a closed equation for the extreme values of the cavity fields. This equation turns out not to depend on the parameters defining the RSB, and it predicts that the spontaneous RSB does not take place homogeneously on the whole system. Indeed, there exist spins having the same effective local field in all local ground states, exactly as in the replica symmetric (RS) phase, while the spontaneous RSB manifests only on the remaining spins, whose fraction vanishes at criticality. The characterization in terms of spins having fixed or fluctuating local fields can be extended also to the random field Ising model (RFIM), in which case the fluctuating spins are the only responsible for the spontaneous magnetization in the ferromagnetic phase. Close to criticality we are able to connect the statistics of the local fields acting on the spins in the RSB phase with the correlation functions measured in the paramagnetic phase. Identifying the two types of spins on given instances of SG and RFIM, we show that they participate very differently to avalanches produced by flipping a single spin. From the scaling of the number of spins inducing RSB effects close to the critical point and using the $M$-layer expansion we estimate the upper critical dimension $D_U \geq 8$ for SG.

description: We study the dynamics of the quantum Dyson hierarchical model in its paramagnetic phase. An initial state made by a local excitation of the paramagnetic ground state is considered. We provide analytical predictions for its time evolution, solving the single-particle dynamics on a hierarchical network. A localization mechanism is found and the excitation remains close to its initial position at arbitrary times. Furthermore, a universal scaling among space and time is found related to the algebraic decay of the interactions as $r^{-1-σ}$. We compare our predictions to numerics, employing tensor network techniques, for large magnetic fields, discussing the robustness of the mechanism in the full many-body dynamics.

description: This article investigates the phenomenon of musical meaning in Richard Powers’ Orfeo (2014) through the lens of intermediality and philosophy of music. I am interested in the protagonist’s recurring motto – “music doesn’t mean things. It is things” (69, passim) – as a conceptual cue to investigate both his conflicted musical identity, and the ways in which it reflects on the novel’s broader context as well as on its implied message that music is capable of signifying something other than itself.

description: (Abridged) We report on the near-infrared low-resolution spectroscopy and red optical (Z-band) photometry of seven proper-motion, very low-mass substellar member candidates of the Pleiades cluster with magnitudes in the interval J=17.5-20.8 and K=16.1-18.5 mag. Spectra were acquired for six objects with the LIRIS and NIRSPEC instruments mounted on the 4.2-m WHT and the 10-m Keck II telescopes. Z-band images of two of the faintest candidates were collected with ACAM/WHT. The new data confirm the low temperatures of all seven Pleiades candidates. From the imaging observations, we find extremely red Z-J and Z-K colors that suggest that the faintest target, Calar Pleiades 25, has a Galactic rather than extragalactic nature. We tentatively classify the spectroscopic targets from early-L to ~T0 and suggest that the L/T transition, which accounts for the onset of methane absorption at 2.1 micron, may take place at J,K ~ 20.3, 17.8 mag in the Pleiades (absolute values of M_J ~ 14.7 and M_K ~ 12.2 mag). We find evidence of likely low-gravity atmospheres based on the presence of triangular-shape H-band fluxes and the high flux ratio K/H (compatible with red H-K colors) of Calar Pleiades 20, 21, and 22, which is a feature also seen in field low-gravity dwarfs. Weak KI absorption lines at around 1.25 micron are probably seen in two targets. These observations add support to the cluster membership of all seven objects in the Pleiades. The trend delineated by the spectroscopic sequence of Pleiades late-M and L dwarfs resembles that of the field. With masses estimated at 0.012-0.015 Msol (solar metallicity and 120 Myr), Calar Pleiades 20 (L6 +/- 1), 21 (L7 +/- 1), and 22 (L/T) may become the coolest and least massive Pleiades members that are corroborated with photometry, astrometry, and spectroscopy. Calar Pleiades 25 (<0.012 Msol) is a firm free-floating planetary-mass candidate in the Pleiades.

description: The document under examination is a confidential memorandum addressed to President George H. W. Bush by his National Security Advisor, Brent Scowcroft, in early April 1990. In the aftermath of the Tiananmen Square crackdown in June 1989, and the intense emotional response it provoked within the United States, the memorandum sought to alert President Bush to the growing domestic dissatisfaction with what was perceived as the Administration’s overly cautious stance toward the Chinese leadership. The memorandum foresaw a range of dynamics and critical challenges that would subsequently unfold in Washington over the course of President Bush’s presidency.

description: All Boys Aren’t Blue: A Memoir-Manifesto by George M. Johnson is currently one of the most frequently challenged books in United States libraries. This article takes the opposition to Johnson’s Young Adult memoir-manifesto as a case study to interrogate the reading practices and rhetoric of organized activist groups that operate at scale and drive the removal of books from school libraries. These efforts are amplified by the chilling effects of new laws that address a distorted caricature of Critical Race Theory and ‘sexual’ material in schools, and that disproportionately affect books that speak frankly and critically about Black history, sexual abuse, and the experiences of LGBTQI+ youth. The challenger playbook analysed in this article is characterized by a reading practice that involves skim-reading for key words, decontextualization of abbreviated quotations, ‘slick’ and shareable reports, generated book lists, and a forum for challenging that is both online and hyperlocal. Key to justifying the removal of books from libraries is the concept of obscenity, which is misconstrued to cast Johnson’s memoir as pornography. Resistance to censorship is considered at local, state and federal level. The treatment of Johnson’s memoir by challengers and defenders reveals old and novel censorship mechanisms, emerging anti-censorship coalitions, divergent reading practices, and fracturing constitutional norms. Mapping attacks on and defenses of All Boys Aren’t Blue complicates our understanding of censorship in modern America.

description: We report on research carried out to improve teaching and student engagement in the introductory astronomy course at the University of Cape Town. This course is taken by a diverse range of students, including many from educationally disadvantaged backgrounds. We describe the development of an instrument, the Introductory Astronomy Questionnaire (IAQ), which we administered as pre- and post-tests to students enrolled in the course. The instrument comprised a small number of questions which probed three areas of interest: student motivation and expectations, astronomy content, and worldview. Amongst our findings were that learning gains were made in several conceptual areas, and that students appeared to develop a more nuanced view of the nature of astronomy. There was some evidence that the course had a positive impact on students' worldviews, particularly their attitudes towards science. We also identified a promising predictor of course success that could in future be used to identify students requiring special teaching intervention.

description: In the last few years, the phenomenon of policing what should be read and how has occupied a prominent space in the American public debate. Books by authors like Toni Morrison and Art Spiegelman have been erased from school curricula and removed from public libraries. An effort at policing literature is also recognizable on the progressive side: works like Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and To Kill a Mockingbird have been removed from school curricula due to the repeated use of the N-word. These events can be identified as being part of a struggle about building a comforting national American narrative. The article deals with the intersecting dynamics of policing narratives and the strife to build a reassuring (in all the different, respective acceptations of the word) national American narrative, focusing on how  different incarnations of censorship (sometimes involving the same works) concern the building of an unsettling counterpublic seeking to subvert the publicly accepted discourse about race, gender and sexual orientation.

Polaronic Optical Transitions in Hematite ($α-Fe_{2}O_{3}$) Revealed by First-Principles Electron-Phonon Coupling

description: Polaron formation following optical absorption is a key process that defines the photophysical properties of many semiconducting transition metal oxides, which comprise an important class of materials with potential optoelectronic and photocatalytic applications. In this work, we use hematite ($α-Fe_{2}O_{3}$) as a model transition metal oxide semiconductor to demonstrate the feasibility of direct optical population of band-edge polaronic states. We employ first-principles electron-phonon computations within the framework of the DFT+U+J method to reveal the presence of these states within a thermal distribution of phonon displacements and model their evolution with temperature. Our computations reproduce the temperature dependence of the optical dielectric function of hematite with remarkable accuracy and indicate that the band-edge optical absorption and second-order resonance Raman spectra arise from polaronic optical transitions involving coupling to longitudinal optical phonons with energies greater than 50 meV. Additionally, we find that the resulting polaron comprises an electron localized to two adjacent Fe atoms with distortions that lie primarily along the coordinates of phonons with energies of 31 and 81 meV.

description: A certain class of exact solutions of Einstein Maxwell spacetime in general relativity is discussed which demonstrates at the level of theory that, when certain parametric resonance condition is met, the interaction of electromagnetic field with a gravitational wave will display certain Liapounov instability and lead to exponential amplification of a gravitational wave train described by certain Newman-Penrose component of the Weyl curvature. In some way akin to a free electron laser in electromagnetic theory, by the conversion of electromagnetic energy into gravitational energy in a coherent way, the feasibility of generating a pulsed laser like intense beam of gravitational wave is displayed.

description: We present a novel method to accurately measure the galaxy stellar mass function (GSMF) based upon the Photometric objects Around Cosmic webs (PAC) method developed in our first paper (Paper I) of the series. The method allows us to measure the GSMF to a lower mass end that is not accessible to the spectroscopic sample used in the PAC. Compared with Paper I, the current measurement of GSMF is direct and model independent. We measure the GSMFs in the redshift ranges of $z_s<0.2$, $0.210^{10.6} M_{\odot}$, and that there is a clear up-turn at $M_*\approx 10^{9.5} M_{\odot}$ towards smaller galaxies in the local GMSF at $z_s=0.1$. We provide an accurate double Schechter fit to the local GSMF for the entire range of $M_*$ and a table of our measurements at the three redshifts, which can used to test theories of galaxy formation. Our method can achieve an accurate measurement of GSMF to the stellar mass limit where the spectroscopic sample is already highly incomplete (e.g. $\sim 10^{-3}$) for its target selection.

US Book Banning as Racialized Political Strategy
Creators: name: Becnel, Barbara
Publisher: name: RSAJournal
Year: 2024

description: This paper argues that racialized political narratives articulated by US politicians are strategic, as well as potent forms of public pedagogy. In this instance, public pedagogy is defined as education in the public square, instead of in a traditional classroom setting. Such public pedagogical narratives are conceptualized here as designed to achieve yet another goal: demonstrating to large numbers of people that the political party in question aligns with the otherwise covert racialized values of those would-be constituents. My contention is that the current book-banning campaign in the US has been spawned, at least in part, by a powerful national narrative purposefully constructed to attract the votes of the citizenry targeted by this example of strategic political propaganda. Also, this paper will explore how nonpoliticians can use narrative tactics as public pedagogy to thwart biased political narratives. An historical analysis of race, politics, and religion comprises the methodology for this work, along with desk-top theory-building and an examination of recent book-banning research in the US. This paper deconstructs the concept of racialized political narratives to further reveal the complex conceptualizations that undergird this strategy, such as politics and privilege, Christian nationalism, and an idea I have labeled a racialized US values infrastructure (Becnel 2024). My argument is that white superiority and black inferiority are values that were inscribed in the country’s legal, institutional, and social infrastructure during the Slavery Era and largely remain in place today. Those racialized conceptualizations are contended here to have animated the choice of topic – book banning – for recent political campaigns dominated by cleverly-crafted narratives.

description: Tensor meson photoproduction is described as either a direct production process or a consequence of the final state ππinteractions. We calculate the mass distributions for selected partial waves and confront our predictions with the measurements of the CLAS experiment. We also point out the structures in the photoproduction amplitudes which may result in observable effects able to indicate the dominant tensor meson photoporduction mechanism.

Curvatures, Photon Spheres and Black Hole Shadows

Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In a recent work PRD 106, L021501 (2022), a new geometric approach is proposed to obtain the photon sphere (circular photon orbit) and the black hole shadow radius. In this approach, photon spheres and the black hole shadow radius are determined using geodesic curvature and Gaussian curvature in the optical geometry of black hole spacetimes. However, the calculations in PRD 106, L021501 (2022) only restricted to a subclass of static and spherically symmetric black holes with spacetime metric $g_{tt} \cdot g_{rr}=-1$, $g_{θθ}=r^{2}$ and $g_{ϕϕ}=r^{2}\sin^{2}θ$. In this work, we extend this approach to more general spherically symmetric black holes (with spacetime metric $ds^{2}=g_{tt}dt^{2}+g_{rr}dr^{2}+g_{θθ}dθ^{2}+g_{ϕϕ}dϕ^{2}$). Furthermore, it can be proved that our results from the geometric approach are completely equivalent to those from conventional approach based on effective potentials of test particles.
