description: A new classification of sandpile models into universality classes is presented. On the basis of extensive numerical simulations, in which we measure an extended set of exponents, the Manna two state model [S. S. Manna, J. Phys. A 24, L363 (1991)] is found to belong to a universality class of random neighbor models which is distinct from the universality class of the original model of Bak, Tang and Wiesenfeld [P. Bak, C. Tang and K. Wiensenfeld, Phys. Rev. Lett. 59, 381 (1987)]. Directed models are found to belong to a universality class which includes the directed model introduced and solved by Dhar

description:
With robotics rapidly advancing, more effective human–robot interaction is increasingly needed to realize the full potential of robots for society. While spoken language must be part of the solution, our ability to provide spoken language interaction capabilities is still very limited. In this article, based on the report of an interdisciplinary workshop convened by the National Science Foundation, we identify key scientific and engineering advances needed to enable effective spoken language interaction with robotics. We make 25 recommendations, involving eight general themes: putting human needs first, better modeling the social and interactive aspects of language, improving robustness, creating new methods for rapid adaptation, better integrating speech and language with other communication modalities, giving speech and language components access to rich representations of the robot’s current knowledge and state, making all components operate in real time, and improving research infrastructure and resources. Research and development that prioritizes these topics will, we believe, provide a solid foundation for the creation of speech-capable robots that are easy and effective for humans to work with.

description: We consider 2D gas of spinless fermions with the Coulomb and the short range interactions on a square lattice at T=0. Using exact diagonalization technique we study finite clusters up to 16 particles at filling factors $ν=1/2$ and 1/6. By increasing the hopping amplitude we obtain the low-energy spectrum of the system in a wide range from the classical Wigner crystal to almost free gas of fermions. The most efforts are made to study the mechanism of the structural and insulator-metal transitions. We show that both transitions are determined by the energy band of the defect with the lowest energy in the Wigner crystal.

description: Exclusive semileptonic decays B->D_1(2420)l\barνand B->D_2^*(2460)l\barνare studied at the subleading order of the heavy quark expansion. The subleading Isgur-Wise functions resulted from the kinetic energy and chromomagnetic corrections to the HQET Lagrangian are calculated by QCD sum rules in the framework of the heavy quark effective theory. The decay rates and branching ratios are computed with the inclusion of the order of 1/m_Q corrections. It is found that the 1/m_Q correction to the decay rate is not large for B->D^*_2 but is very large for B->D_1.

description: It has been shown that the negative norm states necessarily appear in a covariant quantization of the free minimally coupled scalar field in de Sitter space [1,2]. In this process ultraviolet and infrared divergences have been automatically eliminated [3]. A natural renormalization of the one-loop interacting quantum field in Minkowski space-time ($λϕ^4$ theory) has been achieved through the consideration of the negative norm states [4]. One-loop effective action for scalar field in a general curved space-time has been calculated by this method and a natural renormalization procedure in the one-loop approximation has been established.

description: Boundary conditions strongly affect the results of numerical computations for finite size inhomogeneous or incommensurate structures. We present a method which allows to deal with this problem, both for ground state and for critical properties: it combines fluctuating boundary conditions and specific histogram techniques. Our approach concerns classical systems possessing a continuous symmetry as well as quantum systems. In particular, current-current correlation functions, which probe large scale coherence of the states, can be accurately evaluated. We illustrate our method on a frustrated two dimensional XY model.

description: We study the non-local regularization for the case of a spontaneously broken abelian gauge theory in the R_xi gauge with an arbitrary gauge parameter xi. We consider a simple abelian-Higgs model with chiral couplings as an example. We show that if we apply the nonlocal regularization procedure [to construct a nonlocal theory with finite mass parameter ] to the spontaneously broken R_xi gauge Lagrangian, using the quadratic forms as appearing in this Lagrangian, we find that a physical observable in this model, an analogue of the muon anomalous magnetic moment, evaluated to order O[g^{2}] does indeed show xi-dependence.We then apply the modified form of nonlocal regularization that was recently advanced and studied for the unbroken non-abelian gauge theories and discuss the resulting WT identities and xi-independence of the S-matrix elements.

Activity driven orientational order in active nematic liquid crystals on an anisotropic substrate
Creators: name: Pearce, D. J. G.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2018
Subjects: subject: Soft Condensed Matter (cond-mat.soft)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We investigate the effect of an anisotropic substrate on the turbulent dynamics of a simulated two dimensional active nematic. This is introduced as an anisotropic friction and an effective anisotropic viscosity, with the orientation of the anisotropy being defined by the substrate. In this system we observe the emergence of global nematic order of topological defects that is controlled by the degree of anisotropy in the viscosity and the magnitude of the active stress. No global defect alignment is seen in passive liquid crystals with anisotropic viscosity or friction confirming that ordering is driven by the active stress. We then closely examine the active flow generated by a single defect to show that the kinetic energy of the flow is orientation dependent, resulting in a torque on the defect to align them with the anisotropy in the substrate.

Fermi-Fermi crossover in the ground state of 1D few-body systems with anomalous three-body interactions

description: In one spatial dimension, quantum systems with an attractive three-body contact interaction exhibit a scale anomaly. In this work, we examine the few-body sector for up to six particles. We study those systems with a self-consistent, non-perturbative, iterative method, in the subspace of zero total momentum. Exploiting the structure of the contact interaction, the method reduces the complexity of obtaining the wavefunction by three powers of the dimension of the Hilbert space. We present results on the energy, and momentum and spatial structure, as well as Tan's contact. We find a Fermi-Fermi crossover interpolating between large, weakly bound trimers and compact, deeply bound trimers: at weak coupling, the behavior is captured by degenerate perturbation theory; at strong coupling, the system is governed by an effective theory of heavy trimers (plus free particles in the case of asymmetric systems). Additionally, we find that there is no trimer-trimer attraction and therefore no six-body bound state.

Possible superconductivity in brain

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2018
Subjects: subject: Superconductivity (cond-mat.supr-con)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The unprecedented power of the brain suggests that it may process information quantum-mechanically. Since quantum processing is already achieved in superconducting quantum computers, it may imply that superconductivity is the basis of quantum computation in brain too. Superconductivity could also be responsible for long-term memory. Following these ideas, the paper reviews the progress in the search for superconductors with high critical temperature and tries to answer the question about the superconductivity in brain. It focuses on recent electrical measurements of brain slices, in which graphene was used as a room-temperature quantum mediator, and argues that these measurements could be interpreted as providing evidence of superconductivity in the neural network of mammalian brains. The estimated critical temperature of superconducting network in brain is rather high: 2063 plus-minus 114 K. A similar critical temperature was predicted in the Little's model for one-dimensional organic chains linked to certain molecular complexes. A reasonable suggestion is that superconductivity develops in microtubules inside the neurons of brain.

description: The existence of a pseudogap above the critical temperature has been widely used to explain the anomalous behaviour of the normal state of high-temperature superconductors. In two dimensions the existence of a pseudogap phase has already been demonstrated in a simple model. It can now be shown that the pseudogap phase persists even for the more realistic case where coherent interlayer tunneling is taken into account. The effective anisotropy is surprisingly large and even increases with increasing carrier density.

description: We present a calculation of the maximum sensitivity achievable by the LIGO Gravitational wave detector in construction, due to limiting thermal noise of its suspensions. We present a method to calculate thermal noise that allows the prediction of the suspension thermal noise in all its 6 degrees of freedom, from the energy dissipation due to the elasticity of the suspension wires. We show how this approach encompasses and explains previous ways to approximate the thermal noise limit in gravitational waver detectors. We show how this approach can be extended to more complicated suspensions to be used in future LIGO detectors.

description: We develop a new algorithm for the quantisation of systems with first-class constraints. Our approach lies within the (History Projection Operator) continuous-time histories quantisation programme. In particular, the Hamiltonian treatment (either classical or quantum) of parameterised systems is characterised by the loss of the notion of time in the space of true degrees of freedom (i.e. the `problem of time'). The novel temporal structure of the HPO theory (two laws of time transformation that distinguish between the temporal logical structure and the dynamics) persists after the imposition of the constraints, hence the problem of time does not arise. We expound the algorithm for both the classical and quantum cases and apply it to simple models.

Exploring the relationship of built environment, commute, and walkability with subjective wellbeing in metro areas of United States
Creators: name: Manke, Aditi
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2021

description: The place where we live and work and the way we travel through these places shape the patterns of our life. Our interaction and participation with these patterns influence our wellbeing. This research project studies the changes in subjective wellbeing based on the perceptions about neighborhood environment, commute, and walkability. The study uses Detroit Area Study, 2001, and Washington DC Traffic Poll, 2005 dataset. The analysis uses ordinary least squares regressions to examine the associations. I find that perceptions about the neighborhood-built environment are essential predictors of subjective wellbeing. Individuals who perceived that their neighborhood had social capital and greenness reported higher subjective wellbeing than individuals who did not perceive it. While commute time does not have any association with subjective wellbeing, categorical specification to commute time gives more information about the impact of commute duration on wellbeing. I also find that more than commute duration, the commute conditions or experience play a more significant role in lowering subjective wellbeing. Walking behavior was also found to impact subjective wellbeing significantly, although it might be a mediating factor between neighborhood walkability and wellbeing, which was not explored in the analysis. The results indicate that perceptions and evaluation of our surrounding environment play a key role in the quality of life and should be included in policy making.
Giant cold satellites from low-concentration haloes

description: The dwarf satellite galaxies of the Milky Way Crater II and Antlia II have uncommonly low dynamical mass densities, due to their large size and low velocity dispersion. Previous work have failed to identify formation scenarios within the $Λ$CDM framework and have invoked cored dark matter haloes, processed by tides. I show that the tidal evolution of $Λ$CDM NFW haloes is richer than previously recognised: tidal heating causes the innermost regions of haloes that fall short of the mass-concentration relation to expand significantly, resulting in the formation of giant, kinematically cold satellites like Crater II and Antlia II. Furthermore, while the satellite is reaching apocenter, extra-tidal material can cause an even more inflated appearance. When present, as likely for the larger Antlia II, nominally unbound material can be recognised thanks to its somewhat hotter kinematics and line-of-sight velocity gradient. Contrary to other formation scenarios, Crater II and Antlia II may well have experienced very little mass loss, as in fact hinted by their observed metallicity. If indeed a satellite of NGC1052, tidal evolution of a low-concentration halo may similarly have led to the formation of NGC1052-DF2.

description: We study the low-temperature transport of a doped two-chain ladder system of interacting fermions in the presence of a barrier or of a low concentration of impurities. Above a certain value of the interaction, the conductance is suppressed, like for a single chain, despite the presence of dominant superconducting correlations. There is, however, a region of repulsive interaction where perfect transmission across the barrier occurs unlike the single-chain case. We provide a possible explanation for the temperature maximum of the resistivity in the normal state of \srca.

description: Purpose: Adolescents with disabilities often demonstrate higher sedentary behaviours, lower physical activity levels, poorer quality diets, and higher rates of overweight and obesity than typically developing youth. This study had two objectives: 1) To understand the needs and priorities of adolescents with disabilities, parents, and the healthcare professionals who work with them around healthy lifestyles and weight management; and 2) To explore whether and how a mobile application could address these needs. Methods: Multiple perspectives were gathered through separate qualitative focus groups with adolescents with disabilities (12–17 years), parents, and rehabilitation healthcare professionals. Data were analysed using descriptive thematic analysis. Results: Parents (n = 6) and healthcare professionals (n = 9) described the complex needs of adolescents with disabilities around weight management and healthy lifestyles, including balancing differing priorities and a lack of appropriate resources. Adolescents (n = 7) endorsed the potential for technology to enhance their health through empowerment and having a virtual support system. All stakeholder groups endorsed taking a holistic, wellness approach. Conclusions: Adolescents with disabilities have a complex lifestyle and weight management needs, but mobile applications have the potential to provide individualized support. It is critical that anyone developing mobile applications engage a range of stakeholders as co-designers.Implications for rehabilitationAdolescents with disabilities have complex support needs and priorities around weight management and healthy lifestyles.Existing resources do not take into account the wide-ranging abilities of adolescents with disabilities.Mobile applications have the potential to empower adolescents and provide tailored support around healthy lifestyles.Including user input when designing technologies is critical.

description: We consider a spacetime consisting of an empty void separated from an almost Friedmann-Lema\^ıtre-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) dust universe by a spherically symmetric, slowly rotating shell which is comoving with the cosmic dust. We treat in a unified manner all types of the FLRW universes. The metric is expressed in terms of a constant characterizing the angular momentum of the shell, and parametrized by the comoving radius of the shell. Treating the rotation as a first order perturbation, we compute the dragging of inertial frames as well as the apparent motion of distant stars within the void. Finally, we discuss, in terms of in principle measurable quantities, 'Machian' features of the model.

description: The exact static solutions in the higher dimensional Einstein-Maxwell-Klein- Gordon theory are investigated. With the help of the methods developed for the effective dilaton type gauge gravity models in two dimensions, we find new spherically and hyperbolically symmetric solutions which generalize the four dimensional configurations of Dereli-Eris. We show that, like in four dimensions, the non-trivial scalar field yields, in general, a naked singularity. The new solutions are compared with the higher dimensional Brans-Dicke black hole type solutions.

description: Type Iax supernovae (SNe~Iax) are the most common class of peculiar SNe. While they are thought to be thermonuclear white-dwarf (WD) SNe, SNe~Iax are observationally similar to, but distinct from SNe~Ia. Unlike SNe~Ia, where roughly 30\% occur in early-type galaxies, only one SN~Iax has been discovered in an early-type galaxy, suggesting a relatively short delay time and a distinct progenitor system. Furthermore, one SN~Iax progenitor system has been detected in pre-explosion images with its properties consistent with either of two models: a short-lived (<100 Myr) progenitor system consisting of a WD primary and a He-star companion, or a singular Wolf-Rayet progenitor star. Using deep \textit{Hubble Space Telescope} images of nine nearby SN~Iax host galaxies, we measure the properties of stars within 200 pc of the SN position. The ages of local stars, some of which formed with the SN progenitor system, can constrain the time between star formation and SN, known as the delay time. We compare the local stellar properties to synthetic photometry of single-stellar populations, fitting to a range of possible delay times for each SN. With this sample, we uniquely constrain the delay-time distribution for SNe~Iax, with a median and $1-σ$ confidence interval delay time of $63_{- 15}^{+ 58} \times 10^{6}$ years. The measured delay-time distribution provides an excellent constraint on the progenitor system for the class, indicating a preference for a WD progenitor system over a Wolf-Rayet progenitor star.

description: We show that fermion systems with random interactions lead to strong coupling of glassy order and fermionic correlations, which culminates in the implementation of Parisi replica permutation symmetry breaking (RPSB) in their T=0 quantum field theories. Precursor effects below fermionic AT-lines become stronger as the temperature decreases and play a crucial role within the entire low T regime. The Parisi ultrametric structure is shown to determine low energy excitations and the dynamic behaviour of fermionic correlations for large times, which is predicted to affect transport properties in metallic (and superconducting) spin glasses. Thus we reveal quantum dynamical fingerprints of the Parisi scheme. These effects, being strongest as T->0, are contrasted with quantum spin glass transitions at T=0 displaying only small RPSB corrections at low T. RPSB-effects moreover appear to influence the loci of the ground state transitions at O(T^0) and hence the phase diagrams. We derive a new representation of the T=0 Green's function which leads to a map of the fermionic (insulating) spin glass solution to the local limit solution of a Hubbard model with a random repulsive interaction. We obtain the distribution of the Hubbard interaction fluctuation and its dependence on the order of RPSB. A generalized mapping between metallic spin glass and random U Hubbard model is conjectured. The new representation of the Green's function at T=0 is suggested to be useful for generalizations to superconductors with spin glass phases.

description: Chlorine and chloramine are widely used to maintain the microbial safety after drinking water treatment plants. Particles existing in the treated water may react with these chemical disinfectants, and impact the efficacy of disinfection. However, the protective effects of particles without-disinfectant demand on bacteria in the chlorination/chloramination are not well known. In this study, two laboratory-derived bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli) and two no-disinfectant demand particles (Fe2O3 and kaolin) in drinking water were selected to build particle-associated bacteria (PAB) systems, and their resistance to chlorine/chloramine was further assessed. Flow cytometry (FCM) was employed to image PAB systems and assess the removal rate of bacteria. The results were that particles showed protective effects on bacteria in half of chlorine experiments and 90% of chloramination. The protection was related to the combination form of particles and bacteria tied to neither particle species nor size, and there was no positive relationship between the protection effect and water turbidity. S. aureus attached to Fe2O3 had stronger resistance than kaolin, and kaolin protected E. coli better than Fe2O3. The same trend was observed in both chemical disinfectants, and more significant resistance had been shown in chloramination than chlorination. FCM images which gave a qualitative description on the combination states of different PAB systems may be a clue to explain the strength of the resistance. Environmental bacterial strains and particles are recommended in the future to explore practical applications.

SU(5) Grand Unification in Extra Dimensions and Proton Decay

description: We analyse proton decay in the context of simple supersymmetric SU(5) grand unified models with an extra compact spatial dimension described by the orbifold S^1/(Z_2 x Z_2'). Gauge and Higgs degrees of freedom live in the bulk, while matter fields can only live at the fixed point branes. We present an extended discussion of matter interactions on the brane. We show that proton decay is naturally suppressed or even forbidden by suitable implementations of the parity symmetries on the brane. The corresponding mechanism does not affect the SU(5) description of fermion masses also including the neutrino sector, where Majorana mass terms remain allowed.

Anomalous size-dependence of interfacial profiles between coexisting phases of polymer mixtures in thin film geometry: A Monte-Carlo simulation

description: The interfacial profile between coexisting phases of a binary mixture (A,B) in a thin film of thickness D and lateral linear dimensions L depends sensitively on both linear dimensions and on the nature of boundary conditions and statistical ensembles applied. These phenomena generic for systems in confined geometry are demonstrated by Monte-Carlo simulations of the bond fluctuation model of symmetric polymer mixtures. Both the canonical and semi-grand-canonical ensemble are studied. In the canonical ensemble, the interfacial width w increases (from small values which are of the same order as the intrinsic profile) like sqrt{D}, before a crossover to a saturation value w_max (w_max^2 proportional to ln L) sets in. In the semi-grand-canonical ensemble, however, one finds the same widths (w proportional to sqrt{D}) as in the canonical ensemble for not too large L, while for large L the interfacial profile is smeared out over a finite fraction of the film thickness (w proportional to D for D -> infinity). We discuss the implications of these findings for the interpretation of both simulations and experiments.

What affects one, affects all: utilizing tweets to measure the sentiment of New Jersey communities approaching the "SNAP gap"
Creators: name: Mascuilli, Tory Richard
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2021

description: The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) provides monthly funding to low-income participants to buy food. Research has shown that this supplemental assistance is insufficient to cover an entire month’s needs, leading to a period of time referred to as the “SNAP gap,” during which benefits have been depleted. Food insecurity, amplified by the exhaustion of SNAP benefits, may increase negative emotions, which may be detected at the community level. The current study examined the possibility that as food insecurity increased over the course of a month as SNAP benefits were exhausted in areas heavily dependent on SNAP so too would negative affect measured at the level of the community. To test for this effect, tweets were collected from each of the 21 county seats of New Jersey, and coded for emotion words. Negative affect words peaked during the SNAP gap. The effect was more pronounced in communities with higher levels of poverty. Implications and directions for future research are discussed.

description: Modeling university ICT services and solutions using AI Chatbot is building an AI-powered virtual agent to represent the human staff in providing similar services and solutions to ICT users online via Facebook Messenger and Web Demo platforms to enhance the accessibility of the ICT services. This study aims to model an artificial intelligence (AI) for university information and communication technology (ICT) services and solutions delivery by providing responses to questions asked by ICT service users. The modeled Chatbot was implemented to solve the challenges that traditional ICT staff in universities faced, such as high volume of requests, long wait times, numerous repeated questions, duty hours constraints, and inability to provide personalized support to ICT users at all times due to human natural capacities. To address these challenges, universities need to explore the use of AI Chatbot as a means of providing more efficient, personalized, and accessible ICT support services 24 hours per week (24/7). In this study,   text and voice-based Chatbot was developed with Google Cloud Dialogflow and integrated it into Facebook Messenger and Web Demo for interactive text and voice messaging that enabled ICT service users to receive solutions as text or voice responses from Chatbot at anytime and anywhere. First, we identified 17 ICT services and classified them into 42 intents for building the Chatbot with 381 training phrases that formed the dataset. Second, 42 intents was created using Google Cloud Dialogflow Essential Console. Chatbot was trained for 3 months using rule-grammar and machine learning matching with 92% accuracy. The results of this study proved that the developed system can help universities provide more efficient and accessible ICT services to their ICT service users, as well as contribute to the advancement of AI Chatbot technology applications in the field of education.

description: Exact solutions of Einstein's equations in 2+1-dimensional anti-de Sitter space containing any number of black holes are described. In addition to the black holes these spacetimes can possess ``internal'' structure. Accordingly the generic spacetime of this type depends on a large number of parameters. Half of these can be taken as mass parameters, and the rest as the conjugate (angular) momenta. The time development and horizon structure of some of these spacetimes are sketched.

description: We investigated the impact of uncertainties in neutron-capture and weak reactions (on heavy elements) on the s-process nucleosynthesis in low-mass stars using a Monte-Carlo based approach. We performed extensive nuclear reaction network calculations that include newly evaluated temperature-dependent upper and lower limits for the individual reaction rates. Our sophisticated approach is able to evaluate the reactions that impact more significantly the final abundances. We found that beta-decay rate uncertainties affect typically nuclides near s-process branchings, whereas most of the uncertainty in the final abundances is caused by uncertainties in neutron capture rates, either directly producing or destroying the nuclide of interest. Combined total nuclear uncertainties due to reactions on heavy elements are approximately 50%.
