Critical behavior of a one-dimensional monomer-dimer reaction model with lateral interactions
Creators: name: Monetti, Roberto A.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1997
Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A monomer-dimer reaction lattice model with lateral repulsion among the same species is studied using a mean-field analysis and Monte Carlo simulations. For weak repulsions, the model exhibits a first-order irreversible phase transition between two absorbing states saturated by each different species. Increasing the repulsion, a reactive stationary state appears in addition to the saturated states. The irreversible phase transitions from the reactive phase to any of the saturated states are continuous and belong to the directed percolation universality class. However, a different critical behavior is found at the point where the directed percolation phase boundaries meet. The values of the critical exponents calculated at the bicritical point are in good agreement with the exponents corresponding to the parity-conserving universality class. Since the adsorption-reaction processes does not lead to a non-trivial local parity-conserving dynamics, this result confirms that the twofold symmetry between absorbing states plays a relevant role in determining the universality class. The value of the exponent $δ_2$, which characterizes the fluctuations of an interface at the bicritical point, supports the Bassler-Brown's conjecture which states that this is a new exponent in the parity-conserving universality class.

description: We report our Spitzer Space Telescope observations and detections of the binary neutron star merger GW170817. At 4.5um, GW170817 is detected at 21.9 mag AB at +43 days and 23.9 mag AB at +74 days after merger. At 3.6um, GW170817 is not detected to a limit of 23.2 mag AB at +43 days and 23.1 mag AB at +74 days. Our detections constitute the latest and reddest constraints on the kilonova/macronova emission and composition of heavy elements. The 4.5um luminosity at this late phase cannot be explained by elements exclusively from the first abundance peak of the r-process. Moreover, the steep decline in the Spitzer band, with a power-law index of 3.4 +/- 0.2, can be explained by a few of the heaviest isotopes in the third abundance peak with half-life around 14 days dominating the luminosity (e.g. 140Ba, 143Pr, 147Nd, 156Eu, 191Os, 223Ra, 225Ra, 233Pa, 234Th) or a model with lower deposition efficiency. This data offers evidence that the heaviest elements in the second and third r-process abundance peak were indeed synthesized. Our conclusion is verified by both analytics and network simulations and robust despite intricacies and uncertainties in the nuclear physics. Future observations with Spitzer and James Webb Space Telescope will further illuminate the relative abundance of the synthesized heavy elements.
Method for calculating one-exciton absorption spectrum of space-restricted lattices

Subjects: subject: Disordered Systems and Neural Networks (cond-mat.dis-nn)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The problem of the one-exciton absorption spectrum is considered for the lattice of two-level interacting atoms whose initial energy splitting depends on the coordinate. It is shown that for some types of interatomic interaction, this problem can be reduced to a differential equation of Schrodinger type, which, in some cases, can be solved in closed form. By way of example, problems on the one dimensional chain having an initial splitting jump and on the spherical cluster are solved. In both cases analitical solutions are obtained, which considerably reduce the time required for calculations of one-dimensional systems and permit the calculation of three-dimensional spherical clusters, whereas the numerical calculation becomes impossible for the clusters with a radius larger than ten lattice constants. The spectra calculated for small systems completely coincide with the spectra obtained by means of numerical diagonalization. The proposed method may appear to be convinient for solving problems related to Frenkel excitons in systems having no translation symmetry (disordered systems).

description: Historically, a significant dispute emerged between Albert Einstein and John Bell concerning the acceptance of nonlocal correlations in quantum mechanics. Einstein's landmark work, co-authored with Boris Podolsky and Nathan Rosen, led to the development of the EPR paradox, which raised doubts about the completeness of quantum mechanics. Einstein's seminal work, in collaboration with his colleagues Boris Podolsky and Nathan Rosen, laid the groundwork for the EPR paradox, which planted a seed of doubt that quantum mechanics might be incomplete.  This paradox subsequently served as the catalyst for John Bell's formulation of Bell's inequality, which provided a mathematical framework suggesting the existence of nonlocal correlations—correlations that could not be accounted for by local hidden variables—and contributed to his development of the theory of superposition.  He rejected both, defending his position with arguments such as the "ghostly effect" in the former case and the assertion that "the moon exists" in the latter, attempting to preserve the principles of locality and realism.

 

I intend to demonstrate that Albert Einstein’s stance is correct and he is the winner of this debate, proving that correlations can be explained by hidden variables. I intend for my proof to be as direct and concrete as possible, focusing on the following 2 points:

He refused to accept both, defending his beliefs witharguments like “ghostly effect” en the first one and “the moon exists either I look at it or not.

description: In Arabidopsis thaliana AtPEPR1 and AtPEPR2 act as the receptors for the endogenous AtPROPEP-derived Pep peptides and subsequently initiate defense-signaling cascades. In the previous work,9 the expression pattern of the genes encoding the PEPR receptors and the AtPROPEP peptide precursor proteins was studied using promoter-GUS reporter constructs. Here, using the same constructs to study their expression pattern under biotic and abiotic stress, including AtPep1, flg22, methyl jasmonate (MeJA), and NaCl treatments, we observed that in response to AtPep1 and flg22, the activation of AtPEPR1 promoter was different from AtPEPR2. We also found that these promoters were differentially activated in response to NaCl. Remarkably, we showed that it is possible to classify the genes of the AtPROPEP family, based on the response of their promoters to the various stimuli employed: thus, we classify AtPROPEP1 in one group; AtPROPEP2 and AtPROPEP3 in a second group; AtPROPEP4, AtPROPEP7 and AtPROPEP8 in a third group and AtPROPEP5 in a fourth group. Our finding, confirm non-redundant roles among the members of the AtPROPEP family and their corresponding receptors.

description: A novel native isolate of Mamestra brassicae nucleopolyhedrovirus, designated MabrNPV-CHb1, was identified in this study. The complete nucleotide sequence of MabrNPV-CHb1 was determined. The MabrNPV-CHb1 genome consists of 154,451 bp, with a G + C content of 40.05%. The genomic sequence and comparative analysis indicated that MabrNPV-CHb1 shares high nucleotide identity with MabrNPV-K1, HearMNPV, MacoNPV-B and MacoNPV-A. The major difference between MabrNPV-CHb1 and MabrNPV-K1 is the absence of MabrNPV-CHb1 ORF134 in MabrNPV-K1. The MabrNPV-CHb1 ORF134 is a gene encoding a putative transposase, and phylogenetic analysis suggests that it is derived through horizontal gene transfer (HGT) from ascoviruses. MabrNPV-CHb1 exhibits broad-spectrum activity against lepidopteran agricultural pests, including insects in the families Noctuidae and Plutellidae. A high yield of MabrNPV-CHb1 occlusion bodies was obtained by propagation in alternative hosts, demonstrating its potential for pesticide application. Its broad host range, high yields in alternative hosts and clear genetic background could extend its potential applications as a broad-spectrum insecticide in the future.

description: In this paper, we analyze the effect of boosting in image quality assessment through multi-method fusion. Existing multi-method studies focus on proposing a single quality estimator. On the contrary, we investigate the generalizability of multi-method fusion as a framework. In addition to support vector machines that are commonly used in the multi-method fusion, we propose using neural networks in the boosting. To span different types of image quality assessment algorithms, we use quality estimators based on fidelity, perceptually-extended fidelity, structural similarity, spectral similarity, color, and learning. In the experiments, we perform k-fold cross validation using the LIVE, the multiply distorted LIVE, and the TID 2013 databases and the performance of image quality assessment algorithms are measured via accuracy-, linearity-, and ranking-based metrics. Based on the experiments, we show that boosting methods generally improve the performance of image quality assessment and the level of improvement depends on the type of the boosting algorithm. Our experimental results also indicate that boosting the worst performing quality estimator with two or more additional methods leads to statistically significant performance enhancements independent of the boosting technique and neural network-based boosting outperforms support vector machine-based boosting when two or more methods are fused.

description: We discuss the magnetic response of clean Ag coated Nb proximity cylinders in the temperature range 150 μK < T < 9 K. In the mesoscopic temperature regime, the normal metal-superconductor system shows the yet unexplained paramagnetic reentrant effect, discovered some years ago [P. Visani, A. C. Mota, and A. Pollini, Phys. Rev. Lett. 65, 1514 (1990)], superimposing on full Meissner screening. The logarithmic slope of the reentrant paramagnetic susceptibility chi_para(T) \propto \exp(-L/ξ_N) is limited by the condition ξ_N=n L, with ξ_N=\hbar v_F/2 πk_B T, the thermal coherence length and n=1,2,4. In wires with perimeters L=72 μm and L=130 μm, we observe integer multiples n=1,2,4. At the lowest temperatures, χ_para compensates the diamagnetic susceptibility of the \textit{whole} AgNb structure.

description: A number of radio observations have revealed the presence of large synchrotron-emitting sources associated with the intra-cluster medium. There is strong observational evidence that the emitting particles have been (re-)accelerated by shocks and turbulence generated during merger events. The particles that are accelerated are thought to have higher initial energies than those in the thermal pool but the origin of such mildly relativistic particles remains uncertain and needs to be further investigated. The galaxy cluster Abell 1914 is a massive galaxy cluster in which X-ray observations show clear evidence of merging activity. We carried out radio observations of this cluster with the LOw Frequency ARay (LOFAR) at 150 MHz and the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (GMRT) at 610 MHz. We also analysed Very Large Array (VLA) 1.4 GHz data, archival GMRT 325 MHz data, CFHT weak lensing data and Chandra observations. Our analysis shows that the ultra-steep spectrum source (4C38.39; $α\lesssim -2$), previously thought to be part of a radio halo, is a distinct source with properties that are consistent with revived fossil plasma sources. Finally, we detect some diffuse emission to the west of the source 4C38.39 that could belong to a radio halo.

In this paper, we show that by making certain reasonable assumptions, the self-energy can be directly determined from angle resolved photoemission data. We demonstrate this method on data for the high temperature superconductor $Bi_2Sr_2CaCu_2O_{8+x}$ (Bi2212) in the normal, superconducting, and pseudogap phases.

description: This article presents a metaheuristic approach, the binary whale optimization algorithm (BWOA), to solve complex, constrained, non-convex, binary-nature profit-based unit commitment (PBUC) optimization problems of a price-taking generation company (GenCo) in the electricity market. To simulate the binary-nature PBUC problem, the continuous, real-value whale position/location is mapped into binary search space through various transfer functions. This article introduces three variants of BWOA using tangential hyperbolic, inverse tangent (arctan) and sigmoidal transfer functions. The effectiveness of the BWOA approaches is examined in test systems with different market mechanisms, i.e. an energy-only market, and energy and reserve market participation with different reserve payment methods. The simulation results are presented, discussed and compared with other existing approaches. The convergence characteristics, solution quality and consistency of the results across different BWOA variants are discussed. The superiority and statistical significance of the proposed approaches with respect to existing approaches is also presented.
The jamming transition of Granular Media

description: We briefly review the basics ideas and results of a recently proposed statistical mechanical approach to granular materials. Using lattice models from standard Statistical Mechanics and results from a mean field replica approach and Monte Carlo simulations we find a jamming transition in granular media closely related to the glass transition in super-cooled liquids. These models reproduce the logarithmic relaxation in granular compaction and reversible-irreversible lines, in agreement with experimental data. The models also exhibit aging effects and breakdown of the usual fluctuation dissipation relation. It is shown that the glass transition may be responsible for the logarithmic relaxation and may be related to the cooperative effects underlying many phenomena of granular materials such as the Reynolds transition.

The large energy separation between heavy- and light-hole excitons allows us to clearly resolve and identify magneto-excitonic absorption resonant with the continuum edge of the 1S heavy-hole exciton. Experimental values of the exciton binding energy are compared with results of a theoretical model that includes the exciton-phonon interaction. The remarkable agreemeent found unambiguously indicates the predominant polaronic character of excitons in ZnSe-based heterostructures.

description: A number of works point to the presence of narrow emission features at unusual energies in the X-ray spectra of active galactic nuclei (AGN) or to potentially low iron abundances as possible evidence for the spallation of iron. With the imminence of high-resolution calorimeter spectroscopy, the potential to test spallation models in astrophysical sources will soon be possible. Previously determined nuclear spallation reactions of Fe are recalculated making use of improved total inelastic and partial reaction cross sections that result in different absolute and relative abundances of the main spallation elements Mn, Cr, V, and Ti. The effects of ionisation and dynamics near the black hole are examined in simulated spectra with CCD and calorimeter (i.e. Hitomi) resolution. With high-resolution, differences in relative abundances and ionisation should be detectable if spallation is originating at large distances from the black hole (e.g. torus or disc wind) where blurring is not significant. If spallation were occurring in the inner accretion disc, it would likely be undetected as blurring effects would cause significant blending of spectral features.

Instabilities in the Early Solar System due to a Self-gravitating Disk

description: Modern studies of the early solar system routinely invoke the possibility of an orbital instability among the giant planets triggered by gravitational interactions between the planets and a massive exterior disk of planetesimals. Previous works have suggested that this instability can be substantially delayed ($\sim$100s Myr) after the formation of the giant planets. Bodies in the disk are typically treated in a semi-active manner, wherein their gravitational force on the planets is included, but interactions between the planetesimals are ignored. We perform $N$-body numerical simulations using GENGA, which makes use of GPUs to allow for the inclusion of all gravitational interactions between bodies. Although our simulated Kuiper belt particles are more massive than the probable masses of real primordial Kuiper belt objects, our simulations indicate that the self-stirring of the primordial Kuiper belt is very important to the dynamics of the giant planet instability. We find that interactions between planetesimals dynamically heat the disk and typically prevent the outer solar system instability from being delayed by more than a few tens of million years after giant planet formation. Longer delays occur in a small fraction of systems that have at least 3.5 AU gaps between the planets and planetesimal disk. Our final planetary configurations match the solar system at a rate consistent with other previous works in most regards. Pre-instability heating of the disk typically yields final Jovian eccentricities comparable to the modern solar system value, which has been a difficult constraint to match in past works.

description: The electronic and adsorption properties of dimethyl and methyl-ethyl ester molecules on a silicene nanoring (SiNR) are studied using first-principles calculations. The adsorption properties of dimethyl and methyl-ethyl ester molecules on the surface of a silicene nanoring is investigated in terms of density of states spectrum, adsorption energy, average energy gap variation, Mulliken charge and Bader charge transfer. The structural stability of the SiNR is ensured using formation energy. The variation in the electron density and energy gap is noticed upon adsorption of dimethyl and methyl-ethyl ester molecules in the SiNR base material compared with its isolated counterpart. The highlights of the present work are silicene nanoring is used as a base material for ester molecule adsorption. The adsorption behavior of ester molecules is studied using energy band structure. The DOS spectrum confirms the transfer of electrons between the SiNR and ester molecules. The findings suggest that a SiNR can be used as a base material for the detection of dimethyl and methyl-ethyl ester molecules.

description: In this work we use structural properties of Milky Way's outer halo ($R_G > 25\,\mathrm{kpc}$) satellites (dwarf spheroidal galaxies, ultra-faint dwarf galaxies and globular clusters) derived from deep, wide-field and homogeneous data, to present evidence of a correlation in the Sérsic index v/s effective radius plane followed by a large fraction of outer halo globular clusters and satellite dwarf galaxies. We show that this correlation can be entirely reproduced by fitting empirical relations in the central surface brightness v/s absolute magnitude and Sérsic index v/s absolute magnitude parameter spaces, and by assuming the existence of two types of outer halo globular clusters: one of high surface brightness (HSB group), with properties similar to inner halo clusters; and another of low surface brightness (LSB group), which share characteristics with dwarf spheroidal and ultra-faint dwarf galaxies. Given the similarities of LSB clusters with dwarf spheroidal and ultra-faint dwarf galaxies, we discuss the possibility that outer halo clusters also originated inside dark matter halos and that tidal forces from different galaxy host's potentials are responsible for the different properties between HSB and LSB clusters.

description: This research is carried out in order to characterize the actual contamination by two ubiquitous environmental pollutants, plasticizers and Bisphenol A, in spices (black pepper, caraway and coriander) and aromatic herbs (fennel, laurel, mint, oregano, rosemary, thyme and verbena) from Algeria (n = 26), Tunisia (n = 65) and Italy (n = 53). Algerian samples seem to contain fewer residues than Italian and Tunisian samples. Among the Italian samples, only aromatic herbs, precisely mint, oregano, and laurel, were contaminated. In general, all Tunisian samples showed five plasticizers residues: the caraway, among the spices, and the rosemary, among the aromatic herbs, are found to contain more residues. Also, dietary intake of these contaminants by spices and aromatic herbs under analysis seems not to constitute a risk to the consumers.
Spatially resolved mass-to-light from the CALIFA survey. Mass-to-light ratio vs. color relations

description: We investigated the mass-to-light versus color relations (MLCRs) derived from the spatially resolved star formation history of a sample of 452 galaxies observed with integral field spectroscopy in the CALIFA survey. We derived the stellar mass ($M_\star$) and the stellar mass surface density from the combination of full spectral fitting (using different sets of stellar population models) with observed and synthetic colors in optical broad bands. This method allows obtaining the radial structure of the mass-to-light ratio ($M/L$) at several wavelengths and studying the spatially resolved MLCRs. Our sample covers a wide range of Hubble types from Sc to E, with stellar masses ranging from $M_\star \sim 10^{8.4}$ to $10^{12}$ M$_\odot$. The scatter in the MLCRs was studied as a function of morphology, stellar extinction, and emission line contribution to the colors. The effects of the initial mass function (IMF) and stellar population models in the MLCRs were also explored. Our main results are that (a) the $M/L$ ratio has a negative radial gradient that is steeper within the central 1 half-light-radius (HLR). It is steeper in Sb-Sbc than in early-type galaxies. (b) The MLCRs between $M/L$ and optical colors were derived with a scatter of $\sim$ 0.1 dex. Extinction and emission line contributions do not affect the scatter of these relations. Morphology does not produce a significant effect, except if the general relation is used for galaxies redder than $(u-i) > 4$ or bluer than $(u-i) < 0$. (c) The IMF has a large effect on MLCRs, as expected. The change from a Chabrier to a Salpeter IMF produces a median shift of $\sim$ \oimf\ dex when mass loss from stellar evolution is also taken into account. (d) These MLCRs are in agreement with previous results, in particular for relations with $g$ and $r$ bands and the $B$ and $V$ Johnson systems. FITS tables available at http://pycasso.iaa.es/ML

description: Three classes of harmonic disorder systems (Lennard-Jones like glasses, percolators above threshold, and spring disordered lattices) have been numerically investigated in order to clarify the effect of different types of disorder on the mechanism of high frequency sound attenuation. We introduce the concept of frustration in structural glasses as a measure of the internal stress, and find a strong correlation between the degree of frustration and the exponent alpha that characterizes the momentum dependence of the sound attenuation $Gamma(Q)$$\simeq$$Q^α$. In particular, alpha decreases from about d+1 in low-frustration systems (where d is the spectral dimension), to about 2 for high frustration systems like the realistic glasses examined.

$Λp$ Elastic Scattering in the CLAS Detector

Subjects: subject: Nuclear Experiment (nucl-ex)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The elastic scattering process $Λp\toΛp$ offers insights on multiple problems in nuclear physics. $\mathrm{SU}(3)_F$ symmetry implies a close agreement between the $Λp$ and $pp$ scattering cross sections. The $Λp$ elastic scattering cross section can also illuminate the structure of neutron stars. A data-mining project was started using multiple CLAS data sets taken for other purposes with photon beams on a long liquid hydrogen target. A $Λ$ produced in a process such as $γp\to K^+Λ$ can interact with a second proton inside the target before either decaying or leaving the target. The good angular acceptance and momentum resolution of CLAS make it well-suited for this type of analysis, even though it was not designed for such a measurement. The scattered $Λ$ can be identified from the $π^-p$ invariant mass. The four-vector of the initial $Λ$ is then reconstructed in the process $Xp\toΛp$, which shows a strong peak at the $Λ$ mass with roughly twice the number of events as the existing world data sample. This observation opens up the possibility of other measurements using secondary beams of short-lived particles. This paper will discuss the current status of the analysis, and our plans for future work on this project.

description: We present the temperature dependence of shear and longitudinal elastic constants in a'-NaV2O5. For the longitudinal c22 and c33 modes we find anomalies at Tc in contrast to the Spin Peierls substance CuGeO3 where only the longitudinal mode along the chain shows a pronounced effect at TSP. The c66 shear mode (propagation along the chain in b-direction polarization in a-direction) shows strong softening of 12%. Such a large effect is absent for all shear modes in CuGeO3. We can interpret this softening with a coupling of the exy symmetry strain to the charge fluctuation of B1g symmetry. We give the possible low temperature charge distribution.
