description: In the framework of a baryon-number-violating effective Lagrangian, we calculate improved lower bounds on partial lifetimes for proton and bound neutron decays, including $p \to \ell^+ \ell'^+ \ell'^-$, $n \to \barν\ell^+ \ell'^-$, $p \to \ell^+ ν\barν$, and $n \to \barν\barνν$, where $\ell$ and $\ell'$ denote $e$ or $μ$, with both $\ell = \ell'$ and $\ell \ne \ell'$ cases. Our lower bounds are substantially stronger than the corresponding lower bounds from direct experimental searches. We also present lower bounds on $(τ/B)_{p \to \ell^+γ}$, $(τ/B)_{n \to \barνγ}$, $(τ/B)_{p \to \ell^+ γγ}$, and $(τ/B)_{n \to \barνγγ}$. Our method relies on relating the rates for these decay modes to the rates for decay modes of the form $p \to \ell^+ M$ and $n \to \barνM$, where $M$ is a pseudoscalar or vector meson, and then using the experimental lower bounds on the partial lifetimes for these latter decays.

Entanglement Preserving in Quantum Copying of Three-qubit Entangled State

description: We study the degree to which quantum entanglement survives when a three-qubit entangled state is copied by using local and non-local processes, respectively, and investigate iterating quantum copying for the three-qubit system. There may exist inter-three-qubit entanglement and inter-two-qubit entanglement for the three-qubit system. We show that both local and non-local copying processes degrade quantum entanglement in the three-particle system due to a residual correlation between the copied output and the copying machine. We also show that the inter-two-qubit entanglement is preserved better than the inter-three-qubit entanglement in the local cloning process. We find that non-local cloning is much more efficient than the local copying for broadcasting entanglement, and output state via non-local cloning exhibits the fidelity better than local cloning.

description: Water is a key input in the production of many goods and services and under certain conditions can become a critical limiting factor with significant impacts on regional development. This is the case of many agricultural European Mediterranean basins, where water deficit during drought events is partially covered by illegal abstractions, mostly from aquifers, which are tolerated by the authorities. Groundwater overexploitation for irrigation has created in these areas an unprecedented environmental catastrophe that threatens ecosystems sustainability, urban water supply and the current model of development. Commercial drought insurance systems have the potential to introduce the necessary incentives to reduce overexploitation during drought events and the high costs of the drought indemnity paid by the government. This paper develops a methodology to obtain this socially desirable basic risk premium based on concatenated stochastic models. The methodology is applied to the agricultural district of Campo de Cartagena (Segura River Basin, Spain). Results show that the basic premiums in a hypothetic commercial drought insurance market would be reasonable and the expected environmental outcomes significant.

description: Incorporating the concept of order parameter of the mean-field theory into the simulated annealing method, we presented a new optimization algorithm, the guided simulated annealing method. In this method mean-field order parameters are calculated to guide the configuration search for the global minimum. Allowing fluctuations and improvement of mean-field values iteratively, this method successfully identified global minima for several difficult optimization problems. Application of this method to the HP lattice-protein model has found a new lowest energy state for an $N = 100$ sequence that was not found by other methods before. Results for spin glass models are also presented.

Consistent irrelevant deformations of interacting conformal field theories

description: I show that under certain conditions it is possible to define consistent irrelevant deformations of interacting conformal field theories. The deformations are finite or have a unique running scale ("quasi-finite"). They are made of an infinite number of lagrangian terms and a finite number of independent parameters that renormalize coherently. The coefficients of the irrelevant terms are determined imposing that the beta functions of the dimensionless combinations of couplings vanish ("quasi-finiteness equations"). The expansion in powers of the energy is meaningful for energies much smaller than an effective Planck mass. Multiple deformations can be considered also. I study the general conditions to have non-trivial solutions. As an example, I construct the Pauli deformation of the IR fixed point of massless non-Abelian Yang-Mills theory with N_c colors and N_f

Thermodynamics in $f(R,\mathcal{L})$ theories: Apparent horizon in the FLRW spacetime

Subjects: subject: General Physics (physics.gen-ph)

description: In this paper we study the recently proposed $f(R,\mathcal{L})$ theories from a thermodynamic point of view. The uniqueness of these theories lies in the fact that the space-time curvature is coupled to the baryonic matter instead of exotic matter (in the form of scalar field). We investigate the viability of these theories from the point of view of the thermodynamic stability of the models. To be more precise here we are concerned with the thermodynamics of the apparent horizon of Friedmann-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) spacetime in the background of the $f(R,\mathcal{L})$ theory. We consider several models of $f(R,\mathcal{L})$ theories where both minimal and non-minimal coupling has been considered. Various thermodynamic quantities like entropy, enthalpy, internal energy, Gibbs free energy, etc. are computed and using their allowed ranges various model parameters are constrained.

Syntype (marked with type * in Peters´ handwriting): ZMB 2635, skin and skull, male, adult; Ternate Id., Moluccas, Indonesia; collected by Reinwardt, 1821, in exchange from RMNH.
Comment: Temminck described this species on the basis of two specimens [syntypes]. These two specimens had been preserved in the RMNH collections alledgedly until 1888 (Jentink: 140), but Matschie (1899: 32) reported only one specimen from Ternate (leg. Reinwardt) was present in RMNH. ZMB 2635 is a catalogue number given by Peters presumably in the 1860s. So Peters had received this specimen long before he died (1883). ZMB 2635 is supposed to be one of the two specimens used by Temminck for the description.

A chronological and palaeoenvironmental re‐evaluation of two loess‐palaeosol records in the northern Harz foreland, Germany, based on innovative modelling tools

description: The continuing development of analytical methods for investigating sedimentary records calls for iterative re‐examination of existing data sets obtained on loess‐palaeosol sequences (LPS) as archives of palaeoenvironmental change. Here, we re‐investigate two LPS (Hecklingen, Zilly) in the northern Harz foreland, Germany, being of interest due to their proximity to the Scandinavian Ice Sheet (SIS) and the position between oceanic climatic influence further west and continental influence towards the east. First, we established new quartz OSL and polymineral IRSL chronologies. Both methods show concordant ages in the upper part of the Hecklingen profile (~20–40 ka), but in the lower part IRSL underestimates OSL ages by up to ~15 ka for the period 40–60 ka. Interpretations hence refer to the OSL data set. Second, we applied Bayesian age‐depth modelling to data sets from Hecklingen to resolve inversions in the original ages, also reducing averaged 1σ uncertainty by ~19% (OSL) and ~12% (IRSL). Modelled chronologies point out phases of increased (MIS 2, early MIS 3) and reduced (middle and late MIS 3) sedimentation, but interpretation of numerical rates is problematic because of intense erosion and slope wash particularly during MIS 3. Finally, previously obtained grain‐size data were re‐investigated by end member modelling analyses. Three fundamental grain‐size distributions (loadings) explain the measured data sets and offer information on intensity and – combined with modelled OSL ages – timing of geomorphic processes. We interpret the loadings to represent (i) primary loess accumulation, (ii) postdepositional pedogenesis and/or input of aeolian fine fractions, and (iii) input of coarse aeolian material and/or slope wash. The applied modelling tools facilitate detailed understanding of site‐formation through time, allowing us to correlate a strong peak in mean grain size at ~26–24 ka to the maximum extent of the SIS and increased influence of easterly winds.

description: We consider the zero frequency fluctuations of charge inside a mesoscopic conductor in the large capacitance limit. In analogy to current counting statistics we derive the characteristic function of charge fluctuations in terms of the scattering matrix of the conductor. Using random matrix theory we evaluate the characteristic function semi-analytically for chaotic cavities. Our result is universal in the sense that it describes not only the fluctuations of charge, but of any observable quantity inside the cavity. We discuss equilibrium and non-equilibrium fluctuations and extend our theory to the case of contacts with arbitrary transparency. Finally we investigate the suppression of fluctuations in the small capacitance limit due to charge screening.

description: Pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ) is an important cofactor of calcium‐ and lanthanide‐dependent alcohol dehydrogenases, and has been known for over 30 years. Crystal structures of Ca–MDH enzymes (MDH is methanol dehydrogenase) have been known for some time; however, crystal structures of PQQ with biorelevant metal ions have been lacking in the literature for decades. We report here the first crystal structure analysis of a Ca–PQQ complex outside the protein environment, namely, poly[[undecaaquabis(μ‐4,5‐dioxo‐4,5‐dihydro‐1H‐pyrrolo[2,3‐f]quinoline‐2,7,9‐tricarboxylato)tricalcium(II)] dihydrate], {[Ca3(C14H3N2O8)2(H2O)11]·2H2O}n. The complex crystallized as Ca3PQQ2·13H2O with Ca2+ in three different positions and PQQ3−, including an extensive hydrogen‐bond network. Similarities and differences to the recently reported structure with biorelevant europium (Eu2PQQ2) are discussed.

description: We propose a language-independent approach for improving statistical machine translation for morphologically rich languages using a hybrid morpheme-word representation where the basic unit of translation is the morpheme, but word boundaries are respected at all stages of the translation process. Our model extends the classic phrase-based model by means of (1) word boundary-aware morpheme-level phrase extraction, (2) minimum error-rate training for a morpheme-level translation model using word-level BLEU, and (3) joint scoring with morpheme- and word-level language models. Further improvements are achieved by combining our model with the classic one. The evaluation on English to Finnish using Europarl (714K sentence pairs; 15.5M English words) shows statistically significant improvements over the classic model based on BLEU and human judgments.

description: We investigate the behavior of the slip length in Newtonian liquids subject to planar shear bounded by substrates with mixed boundary conditions. The upper wall, consisting of a homogenous surface of finite or vanishing slip, moves at a constant speed parallel to a lower stationary wall, whose surface is patterned with an array of stripes representing alternating regions of no-shear and finite or no-slip. Velocity fields and effective slip lengths are computed both from molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and solution of the Stokes equation for flow configurations either parallel or perpendicular to the stripes. Excellent agreement between the hydrodynamic and MD results is obtained when the normalized width of the slip regions, $a/σ\gtrsim {\cal O}(10)$, where $σ$ is the (fluid) molecular diameter characterizing the Lennard-Jones interaction. In this regime, the effective slip length increases monotonically with $a/σ$ to a saturation value. For $a/σ\lesssim {\cal O}(10)$ and transverse flow configurations, the non-uniform interaction potential at the lower wall constitutes a rough surface whose molecular scale corrugations strongly reduce the effective slip length below the hydrodynamic results. The translational symmetry for longitudinal flow eliminates the influence of molecular scale roughness; however, the reduced molecular ordering above the wetting regions of finite slip for small values of $a/σ$ increases the value of the effective slip length far above the hydrodynamic predictions. The strong inverse correlation between the effective slip length and the liquid structure factor representative of the first fluid layer near the patterned wall illustrates the influence of molecular ordering effects on slip in non-inertial flows.

This includes the temperature-dependent photoluminescence, optically detected magnetic resonance, and the relaxation times of the longitudinal and transverse components of the spins, during free precession as well as under the influence of different refocusing schemes.

description: Current benchmarks for optical flow algorithms evaluate the estimation either directly by comparing the predicted flow fields with the ground truth or indirectly by using the predicted flow fields for frame interpolation and then comparing the interpolated frames with the actual frames. In the latter case, objective quality measures such as the mean squared error are typically employed. However, it is well known that for image quality assessment, the actual quality experienced by the user cannot be fully deduced from such simple measures. Hence, we conducted a subjective quality assessment crowdscouring study for the interpolated frames provided by one of the optical flow benchmarks, the Middlebury benchmark. We collected forced-choice paired comparisons between interpolated images and corresponding ground truth. To increase the sensitivity of observers when judging minute difference in paired comparisons we introduced a new method to the field of full-reference quality assessment, called artefact amplification. From the crowdsourcing data, we reconstructed absolute quality scale values according to Thurstone's model. As a result, we obtained a re-ranking of the 155 participating algorithms w.r.t. the visual quality of the interpolated frames. This re-ranking not only shows the necessity of visual quality assessment as another evaluation metric for optical flow and frame interpolation benchmarks, the results also provide the ground truth for designing novel image quality assessment (IQA) methods dedicated to perceptual quality of interpolated images. As a first step, we proposed such a new full-reference method, called WAE-IQA. By weighing the local differences between an interpolated image and its ground truth WAE-IQA performed slightly better than the currently best FR-IQA approach from the literature.

description: Purpose: The purpose of this study is to demonstrate a method for Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) reduction for T2-FLAIR MRI sequences at 7T by predicting the required adiabatic pulse power and scaling the amplitude in a slice-wise fashion. Methods: We used a TR-FOCI adiabatic pulse for spin inversion in a T2-FLAIR sequence to improve B1+ homogeneity and calculate the pulse power required for adiabaticity slice-by-slice to minimize the SAR. Drawing on the implicit B1+ inhomogeneity present in a standard localizer scan, 3D AutoAlign localizers and SA2RAGE B1+ maps were acquired in eight volunteers. A convolutional neural network (CNN) was then trained to predict the B1+ profile from the localizers and scale factors for the pulse power for each slice were calculated. The ability to predict the B1+ profile as well as how the derived pulse scale factors affected the FLAIR inversion efficiency were assessed in transverse, sagittal, and coronal orientations. Results: The predicted B1+ maps matched the measured B1+ maps with a mean difference of 4.45% across all slices. The acquisition in the transverse orientation was shown to be most effective for this method and delivered a 40% reduction in SAR along with 1min and 30-sec reduction in scan time (28%) without degradation of image quality. Conclusion: We propose a SAR reduction technique based on the prediction of B1+ profiles from standard localizer scans using a CNN and show that scaling the inversion pulse power slice-by-slice for FLAIR sequences at 7T reduces SAR and scan time without compromising image quality.

description: We perform a validation study of the latest version of the Alfvén Wave Solar atmosphere Model (AWSoM) within the Space Weather Modeling Framework (SWMF). To do so, we compare the simulation results of the model with a comprehensive suite of observations for Carrington rotations representative of the solar minimum conditions extending from the solar corona to the heliosphere up to the Earth. In the low corona ($r < 1.25$ \Rs), we compare with EUV images from both STEREO-A/EUVI and SDO/AIA and to three-dimensional (3-D) tomographic reconstructions of the electron temperature and density based on these same data. We also compare the model to tomographic reconstructions of the electron density from SOHO/LASCO observations ($2.55 < r < 6.0$\Rs). In the heliosphere, we compare model predictions of solar wind speed with velocity reconstructions from InterPlanetary Scintillation (IPS) observations. For comparison with observations near the Earth, we use OMNI data. Our results show that the improved AWSoM model performs well in quantitative agreement with the observations between the inner corona and 1 AU. The model now reproduces the fast solar wind speed in the polar regions. Near the Earth, our model shows good agreement with observations of solar wind velocity, proton temperature and density. AWSoM offers an extensive application to study the solar corona and larger heliosphere in concert with current and future solar missions as well as being well suited for space weather predictions.

description: We report centimeter continuum observations with the VLA and the VLBA as well as mid-infrared observations with COMICS/SUBARU toward the components of the YLW 15 very young binary system, VLA 1 and VLA 2. The centimeter emission of the two components traces partially thick free-free emission, likely due to collimated, ionized winds. VLA 1 is an embedded protostar, undetected in the near-IR, and possibly in the Class 0 to Class I transition and powering a Herbig-Haro outflow. Its mid-IR emission appears slightly resolved with a diameter of ~16 AU, possibly tracing circumstellar material from both the envelope and the disk. VLA 2 is a typical Class I object, unresolved in the mid-IR, and is the responsible of the strong X-ray emission associated with YLW 15. The expected centimeter ''peri-stellar'' emission associated with the X-ray emission is not detected with the VLBA at 6 cm likely due to the high optical depth of the free-free emission. Strikingly, the near to mid-IR properties of YLW 15 suggest that VLA 1 is a more embedded YSO, or alternatively, less luminous than VLA 2, whereas orbital proper motions of this binary system indicate that VLA 1 is more massive than VLA 2. This result is apparently against the expected evolutionary scenario, where one expects that the more massive YSO in a binary system is the more evolved and luminous YSO. Finally, the nearby source YLW 16A is detected with the VLA, its position coincides with reported near-IR and X-ray sources.

description: In this first paper of the series we describe our project to calibrate the distance determination method based on early-type binary systems. The final objective is to measure accurate, geometrical distances to galaxies beyond the Magellanic Clouds with a precision of 2%. We start with the analysis of two early-type systems for which we have collected all the required spectroscopic and photometric data. Apart from catalog publications, these systems have not been studied yet, and it is the first time the modeling of light and radial velocity curves is performed for them. From the analysis we obtained precise physical parameters of the components, including the masses measured with precision of 0.6-1% and radii with precision of 0.4-3%. For one system we determined the $(V-K)$ color and estimated the distance using the bolometric flux scaling method (DM=18.47 $\pm$ 0.15 mag), which agrees well with our accurate determination of the distance to the LMC from late-type giants. For the same system we determined the surface brightness of individual stars using our model, and checked that it is consistent with a recent surface brightness -- color relation. We compared our results with evolution theory models of massive stars and found they agree in general, however, models with higher overshooting values give more consistent results. The age of the system was estimated to from 11.7 to 13.8 Myr, depending on the model.

description: We provide theoretical consideration of intersubband transitions designed in the ultrawide bandgap Aluminum Gallium Oxide ((AlxGa1-x)2O3)/Gallium Oxide (Ga2O3)) quantum well system. Conventional material systems have matured into successful intersubband device applications such as large area quantum well infrared photodetector(QWIP) focal plane arrays for reproducible imaging systems but are fundamentally limited via maximum conduction band offsets to mid and long wavelength infrared applications. Short and near infrared devices are technologically important to optical communications systems and biomedical imaging applications, but are difficult to realize in intersubband designs for this reason. In this work, we use a first principles approach to estimate the expansive design space of monoclinic $β$(AlxGa1x)2O3/Ga2O3 material system, which reaches from short wavelength infrared (1 to 3μm) to far infrared (greater than 30μm) transition wavelengths. We estimate the performance metrics of two QWIPs operating in the long and short wavelength regimes, including an estimation of high room temperature detectivity (about 10^11 Jones) at the optical communication wavelength λp 1.55μm. Our findings demonstrate the potential of the rapidly maturing (AlxGa1-x)2O3/Ga2O3 material system to open the door for intersubband device applications.

description: Spurred by vocal opposition to a proposed new pulp mill, officials in Washington’s Pend Oreille County surveyed its citizens to try to find out what the majority thought. The 1982 survey of 4,300 voters provided a source of information about citizen opinion that the officials were able to use in their decisions, and not just about the new pulp mill. The survey data also led the county to obtain new grants to improve roads and sewers and to enhance the county's health care system.
Atmospheric neutrinos: LMA oscillations, Ue3 induced interference and CP-violation

description: We consider oscillations of the low energy (sub-GeV sample) atmospheric neutrinos in the three neutrino context. We present the semi-analytic study of the neutrino evolution and calculate characteristics of the e-like events (total number, energy spectra and zenith angle distributions) in the presence of oscillations. At low energies there are three different contributions to the number of events: the LMA contribution (from electron-neutrino oscillations driven by the solar oscillation parameters), the Ue3-contribution proportional to s13**2, and the Ue3 - induced interference of the two amplitudes driven by the solar oscillation parameters. The interference term is sensitive to the CP-violation phase. We describe in details properties of these contributions. We find that the LMA, the interference and Ue3 contributions can reach 5 - 6%, 2 - 3% and 1 - 2 % correspondingly. An existence of the significant (> 3 - 5 %) excess of the e-like events in the sub-GeV sample and the absence of the excess in the multi-GeV range testifies for deviation of the 2-3 mixing from maximum. We consider a possibility to measure the deviation as well as the CP- violation phase in future atmospheric neutrino studies.
