description: The most usual procedure for deriving curvature corrections to effective actions for topological defects is subjected to a critical reappraisal. A logically unjustified step (leading to overdetermination) is identified and rectified, taking the standard domain wall case as an illustrative example. Using the appropriately corrected procedure, we obtain a new exact (analytic) expression for the corresponding effective action contribution of quadratic order in the wall width, in terms of the intrinsic Ricci scalar $R$ and the extrinsic curvature scalar $K$. The result is proportional to $cK^2-R$ with the coefficient given by $c\simeq 2$. The resulting form of the ensuing dynamical equations is obtained in terms of the second fundamental form and the Dalembertian of its trace, K. It is argued that this does not invalidate the physical conclusions obtained from the "zero rigidity" ansatz $c=0$ used in previous work.

description: A new class of hybrid systems that couple optical, electrical and mechanical degrees of freedom in nanoscale devices is under development in laboratories worldwide. These nano-opto-electro-mechanical systems (NOEMS) offer unprecedented opportunities to dynamically control the flow of light in nanophotonic structures, at high speed and low power consumption. Drawing on conceptual and technological advances from cavity optomechanics, they also bear the potential for highly efficient, low-noise transducers between microwave and optical signals, both in the classical and quantum domains. This Progress Article discusses the fundamental physical limits of NOEMS, reviews the recent progress in their implementation, and suggests potential avenues for further developments in this field.

apoptosis

description: To test the potential light induced damage of cultured cells we developed a surface-mounted LED array containing 48 LEDs with selected 8 replicates of 6 different wavelengths (357, 465, 525, 588, 625 and 940 nm). A multistep encapsulation process was applied to prepare the electronic circuits for operation in state-of-the-art cell incubators. We employed sterile, cell culture treated, 96-well black microtiter plates containing a UV translucent clear bottom to culture and expose a standard cell line of human lung fibroblasts to different wavelengths for various time ranges.Generally, the production of cellular peroxides is known to lead to unwanted cell signaling side effects including apoptosis (programmed cell death). We used the cell permeable, peroxide activable, fluorescent dye (5,6-Chloromethyl-2′,7′-dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate) CM-DCFH-DA to quantify the light induced peroxide formation. Light induced apoptosis is basically dependent on two major pathways, one direct genotoxic effect based on DNA damage by introducing DNA structures like pyrimidine (6-4) pyrimidone photoproducts and cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPD), on the other side is singlet oxygen induced peroxide formation a potent inducer of cofilin dependent, caspase-2 independent apoptosis. To separate both pathway we planned to use singlet oxygen and peroxide scavenger, NaN3 and sodium pyruvate respectively, to suppress peroxide induced apoptosis and to measure the net effect on caspase-2 dependent DNA damage induced apoptosis. At all wavelengths the peroxide production was blocked by both components at 10mM concentration in CM-H2DCFDA loaded cells.This experiment demonstrated that NaN3 is an effective inhibitor of singlet oxygen production and can be used to block peroxide formation in human lung fibroblasts. In ongoing experiments, the apoptosis induction in the presence of NaN3 or an irreversible caspase-2 inhibitor Z-VDVAD-FMK is planned to separate the apoptosis inducing pathways.

description: We propose a framework to calculate the dynamics at the scission point of nuclear fission, based as far as possible on a discrete representation of orthogonal many-body configurations. Assuming axially symmetric scission shapes, we use the $K$ orbital quantum number to build a basis of wave functions. Pre-scission configurations are stable under mean-field dynamics while post-scission configurations evolve to separated fragments. In this first exploratory study, we analyze a typical fission trajectory through to scission in terms of these configurations. We find that there is a major rearrangement of the $K$ occupancy factors at scission. Interestingly, very different fragment shapes occur in the post-scission configurations, even starting from the same pre-scission configuration.

Resolving Molecular Line Emission from Protoplanetary Disks: Observational Prospects for Disks Irradiated by Infalling Envelopes

description: Molecular line observations that could resolve protoplanetary disks of ~100 AU both spatially and kinematically would be a useful tool to unambiguously identify these disks and to determine their kinematical and physical characteristics. In this work we model the expected line emission from a protoplanetary disk irradiated by an infalling envelope, addressing the question of its detectability with subarcsecond resolution. We adopt a previously determined disk model structure that gives a continuum spectral energy distribution and a mm intensity spatial distribution that are consistent with observational constraints of HL Tau. An analysis of the capability of presently working and projected interferometers at mm and submm wavelengths shows that molecular transitions of moderate opacity at these wavelengths (e.g., C17O lines) are good candidates for detecting disk lines at subarcsecond resolution in the near future. We suggest that, in general, disks of typical Class I sources will be detectable.

description: Direct photon production in longitudinally polarised proton-proton collisions offers the most direct and unproblematic possibility to determine the polarised gluon distribution of a proton. This information could play a major role for improving our understanding of the nucleon structure and QCD in general. It is hoped that such experiments will be done at RHIC. We present results of detailed Monte Carlo simulations using a code called {\sc SPHINX}. We find that for RHIC energies and large gluon polarisation the Compton graph dominates allowing for a direct test of $Δg$. Triggering on away-side jets with the envisaged jet-criteria should allow to obtain more detailed information on $Δg(x)$. The photon asymmetry resulting from the asymmetry of produced $π^0$'s provides an additional signal, which is complementary to the other two. For small gluon polarisation, i.e. $Δg \le 0.5$ or very soft polarised gluon-distributions the envisaged experiments will require a highly sophisticated simulation and large statistics to extract more than upper bounds for $|Δg(x)|$.}

description: A new analysis of velocity distribution, optical photometry and X-ray surface brightness from ROSAT PSPC data of the galaxy cluster A 2319 is presented. The temperature profile derived from ASCA data (Markevitch et al.,1996) is taken into account. A method to check the hydrostatic model in the presence of a temperature gradient is proposed. Consistency of the hydrostatic isothermal model and the explanation of the "beta-discrepancy" are discussed. Galaxy and gas density profiles of the main component A 2319A are derived, allowing for the effect of the secondary component A 2319B. The inadequacy of a polytropic model, which would produce a binding mass decrease with respect to the isothermal beta-model, is discussed. A simple interpolation of the temperature profile provides instead an increase of the binding mass and a lower baryon fraction thus mitigating the "baryon catastrophe". Assuming as typical the value f_b ~ 0.2, a comparison with the most recent estimate of Omega_b(nucl) implies for the cosmological parameter Omega_o less than 0.4.

A Diagrammatic Approach to Quantum Dynamics

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We present a diagrammatic approach to quantum dynamics based on the categorical algebraic structure of strongly complementary observables. We provide physical semantics to our approach in terms of quantum clocks and quantisation of time. We show that quantum dynamical systems arise naturally as the algebras of a certain dagger Frobenius monad, with the morphisms and tensor product of the category of algebras playing the role, respectively, of equivariant transformations and synchronised parallel composition of dynamical systems. We show that the Weyl Canonical Commutation Relations between time and energy are an incarnation of the bialgebra law and we derive Schrödinger's equation from a process-theoretic perspective. Finally, we use diagrammatic symmetry-observable duality to prove Stone's proposition and von Neumann's Mean Ergodic proposition, recasting the results as two faces of the very same coin.

Approximate Model Counting, Sparse XOR Constraints and Minimum Distance

description: The problem of counting the number of models of a given Boolean formula has numerous applications, including computing the leakage of deterministic programs in Quantitative Information Flow. Model counting is a hard, #P-complete problem. For this reason, many approximate counters have been developed in the last decade, offering formal guarantees of confidence and accuracy. A popular approach is based on the idea of using random XOR constraints to, roughly, successively halving the solution set until no model is left: this is checked by invocations to a SAT solver. The effectiveness of this procedure hinges on the ability of the SAT solver to deal with XOR constraints, which in turn crucially depends on the length of such constraints. We study to what extent one can employ sparse, hence short, constraints, keeping guarantees of correctness. We show that the resulting bounds are closely related to the geometry of the set of models, in particular to the minimum Hamming distance between models. We evaluate our theoretical results on a few concrete formulae. Based on our findings, we finally discuss possible directions for improvements of the current state of the art in approximate model counting.

description: Sasakian manifolds are odd-dimensional counterpart to Kahler manifolds. They can be defined as contact manifolds equipped with an invariant Kahler structure on their symplectic cone. The quotient of this cone by the homothety action is a complex manifold called Vaisman. We study harmonic forms and Hodge decomposition on Vaisman and Sasakian manifolds. We construct a Lie superalgebra associated to a Sasakian manifold in the same way as the Kahler supersymmetry algebra is associated to a Kahler manifold. We use this construction to produce a self-contained, coordinate-free proof of the results by Tachibana, Kashiwada and Sato on the decomposition of harmonic forms and cohomology of Sasakian and Vaisman manifolds. In the last section, we compute the supersymmetry algebra of Sasakian manifolds explicitly.

Propagation of symmetric and non-symmetric lean hydrogen flames in narrow channels: influence of heat losses
Creators: name: Jimenez, Carmen

Year: 2018
Subjects: subject: Fluid Dynamics (physics.flu-dyn)

description: In this paper we present results of direct numerical simulations of lean hydrogen/air flames freely propagating in a planar narrow channel with varying flow rate, using detailed chemistry and transport and including heat losses through the channel walls. Our simulations show that double solutions, symmetric and non symmetric, can coexist for a given set of parameters. The symmetric solutions are calculated imposing symmetric boundary conditions in the channel mid plane and when this restriction is relaxed non symmetric solutions can develop. This indicates that the symmetric solutions are unstable to non symmetric perturbations, as predicted before within the context of a thermo diffusive model and simplified chemistry. It is also found that for lean hydrogen/air mixtures an increase in heat losses leads to a discontinuity of the steady state response curve, with flames extinguishing inside a finite interval of the flow rate. Non symmetric flames burn more intensely and in consequence are much more robust to flame quenching by heat losses to the walls. The inclusion of the non symmetric solutions extends therefore the parametric range for which flames can propagate in the channel. This analysis seems to have received no attention in the literature, even if it can have important safety implications in micro scale combustion devices burning hydrogen in a lean premixed way.

description: We consider a new geometric approach to Madelung's quantum hydrodynamics (QHD) based on the theory of gauge connections. In particular, our treatment comprises a constant curvature thereby endowing QHD with intrinsic non-zero holonomy. In the hydrodynamic context, this leads to a fluid velocity which no longer is constrained to be irrotational and allows instead for vortex filaments solutions. After exploiting the Rasetti-Regge method to couple the Schrödinger equation to vortex filament dynamics, the latter is then considered as a source of geometric phase in the context of Born-Oppenheimer molecular dynamics. Similarly, we consider the Pauli equation for the motion of spin particles in electromagnetic fields and we exploit its underlying hydrodynamic picture to include vortex dynamics.

description: We study the implications of a light stop for the spontaneous CP breaking at finite temperature in the Higgs sector of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model with a gauge singlet. Assuming CP conservation at zero temperature, we show that the presence of a large mixing between the left- and the right-handed stops can trigger easily the spontaneous breaking of CP inside the bubbles nucleated during the electroweak phase transition. This allows to avoid the fine-tuning among the vacuum expectation values in the region of interest for the generation of the baryon asymmetry, namely the bubble walls, which has been recently analized.

description: We propose a deep generative approach to sampling from a conditional distribution based on a unified formulation of conditional distribution and generalized nonparametric regression function using the noise-outsourcing lemma. The proposed approach aims at learning a conditional generator, so that a random sample from the target conditional distribution can be obtained by transforming a sample drawn from a reference distribution. The conditional generator is estimated nonparametrically with neural networks by matching appropriate joint distributions using the Kullback-Liebler divergence. An appealing aspect of our method is that it allows either of or both the predictor and the response to be high-dimensional and can handle both continuous and discrete type predictors and responses. We show that the proposed method is consistent in the sense that the conditional generator converges in distribution to the underlying conditional distribution under mild conditions. Our numerical experiments with simulated and benchmark image data validate the proposed method and demonstrate that it outperforms several existing conditional density estimation methods. Supplementary materials for this article are available online.

description: This exposition gives an introduction to the theory of surfaces in Laguerre geometry and surveys some results, mostly obtained by the authors, about three important classes of surfaces in Laguerre geometry, namely L-isothermic, L-minimal, and generalized L-minimal surfaces. The quadric model of Lie sphere geometry is adopted for Laguerre geometry and the method of moving frames is used throughout. As an example, the Cartan-Kaehler theorem is applied to study the Cauchy problem for the Pfaffian differential system of L-minimal surfaces. This is an elaboration of the talks given by the authors at IMPAN, Warsaw, in September 2016. The objective was to illustrate, by the subject of Laguerre surface geometry, some of the topics presented in a series of lectures held at IMPAN by G. R. Jensen on Lie sphere geometry and by B. McKay on exterior differential systems.

description: Label noise in data has long been an important problem in supervised learning applications as it affects the effectiveness of many widely used classification methods. Recently, important real-world applications, such as medical diagnosis and cybersecurity, have generated renewed interest in the Neyman–Pearson (NP) classification paradigm, which constrains the more severe type of error (e.g., the Type I error) under a preferred level while minimizing the other (e.g., the Type II error). However, there has been little research on the NP paradigm under label noise. It is somewhat surprising that even when common NP classifiers ignore the label noise in the training stage, they are still able to control the Type I error with high probability. However, the price they pay is excessive conservativeness of the Type I error and hence a significant drop in power (i.e., 1 - Type II error). Assuming that domain experts provide lower bounds on the corruption severity, we propose the first theory-backed algorithm that adapts most state-of-the-art classification methods to the training label noise under the NP paradigm. The resulting classifiers not only control the Type I error with high probability under the desired level but also improve power.

description: Development of new effective antimicrobial drugs is still a big challenge to date due to microbial infection remains an inevitable problem against human health. In this study, fatty acids extract of Lucilia sericata larvae (LFAs) was obtained and evaluated by gas chromatograph-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), and its antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and Streptococcus pneumoniae (S. pneumoniae) was investigated. We found that LFAs exhibited effective antibacterial activity against S. aureus and S. pneumoniae with minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of 125 μg/mL and 100 μg/mL, respectively. The bacterial wall and membrane were the main targets, which was confirmed by fluorescence microscopy, scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. Furthermore, a notable anti-biofilm activity against S. aureus and S. pneumoniae was also observed, which was able to both prevent biofilm formation and eradicate mature biofilms of these bacteria. As a promising antibacterial agent, LFAs showed good application prospects in clinical practice.

description: We prove that the set of Segre-degenerate points of a real-analytic subvariety $X$ in ${\mathbb{C}}^n$ is a closed semianalytic set. It is a subvariety if $X$ is coherent. More precisely, the set of points where the germ of the Segre variety is of dimension $k$ or greater is a closed semianalytic set in general, and for a coherent $X$, it is a real-analytic subvariety of $X$. For a hypersurface $X$ in ${\mathbb{C}}^n$, the set of Segre-degenerate points, $X_{[n]}$, is a semianalytic set of dimension at most $2n-4$. If $X$ is coherent, then $X_{[n]}$ is a complex subvariety of (complex) dimension $n-2$. Example hypersurfaces are given showing that $X_{[n]}$ need not be a subvariety and that it also needs not be complex; $X_{[n]}$ can, for instance, be a real line.

description: Generalizing the notion of a tight almost disjoint family, we introduce the notions of a {\em tight eventually different} family of functions in Baire space and a {\em tight eventually different set of permutations} of $ω$. Such sets strengthen maximality, exist under $\mathsf{MA} (σ{\rm -linked})$ and come with a properness preservation theorem. The notion of tightness also generalizes earlier work on the forcing indestructibility of maximality of families of functions. As a result we compute the cardinals $\mathfrak{a}_e$ and $\mathfrak{a}_p$ in many known models by giving explicit witnesses and therefore obtain the consistency of several constellations of cardinal characteristics of the continuum including $\mathfrak{a}_e = \mathfrak{a}_p = \mathfrak{d} < \mathfrak{a}_T$, $\mathfrak{a}_e = \mathfrak{a}_p < \mathfrak{d} = \mathfrak{a}_T$, $\mathfrak{a}_e = \mathfrak{a}_p = \mathfrak{u} < non(\mathcal N) = cof(\mathcal N)$ and $\mathfrak{a}_e = \mathfrak{a}_p =\mathfrak{i} < \mathfrak{u}$. We also show that there are $Π^1_1$ tight eventually different families and tight eventually different sets of permutations in $L$ thus obtaining the above inequalities alongside $Π^1_1$ witnesses for $\mathfrak{a}_e = \mathfrak{a}_p = \aleph_1$.
 Moreover, we prove that tight eventually different families are Cohen indestructible and are never analytic.

Turbulent dissipation in the interstellar medium: implications for galaxy formation and evolution

description: We study turbulent dissipation in the ISM and explore some implications for galaxy formation and evolution using 2D MHD numerical simulations of compressible fluids. The turbulent kinetic energy E_k is injected by stellar sources formed self-consistently in the simulation. In the ISM-like fluid, regimes of both forced and decaying turbulence coexist. In the active turbulent regions (forced regime), E_k is dissipated locally and efficiently. In the decaying regime (far from input sources), E_k(t) decays ~(1+t)^-0.8. The residual turbulent motions may propagate distances of the order of the observed disk height, suggesting that turbulence may be the responsible of vertical support and star formation self-regulation at the disk level, but not at the level of the whole cosmological halo, as would be required in some models of galaxy formation.

description: Bounds of the neutral current sector parameters of the left-right symmetric model are investigated taking into account the low-energy data, LEP-data and CDF-result for the top mass $m_t=174\pm 10^{+13}_{-12}$. It is found that in the case of the minimal scalar sector with a left- and a right-handed triplet and a bidoublet Higgses the mass of the heavy neutral gauge boson $M_{Z'}$ should be larger than 1.2 TeV, assuming equal left- and right-handed gauge couplings and a negligible VEV of the left-handed triplet. For larger values of the ratio $g_L/g_R$ smaller values of $M_{Z'}$ are allowed.

description: Two zinc complexes, [(HCOO)2Zn(μ-bteb)Zn(OOCH)2]·2H2O (1) and {[(HCOO)Zn(μ-bteb)Zn(OOCH)]2(μ-O)2}·DMF·6H2O (DMF = dimethylformamide) (2), containing a π-conjugated “back to back” bis-terpyridine ligand 1,4-bis(2,2':6',2''-terpyridin-4'-yl)benzene (bteb) have been solvothermally synthesized and characterized via elemental analysis, infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, single-crystal X-ray diffraction, and powder X-ray diffraction. 1 and 2 are dumbbell-like dinuclear and rectangle tetranuclear ZnII complexes, respectively. It is interesting that these complexes were synthesized by adjusting the ratio of DMF and H2O. The X-ray crystal structure reveals that ZnII metal centers in 1 are five-coordinate by three nitrogens from bteb and two oxygens from monodentate formate ions, while ZnII metal centers in 2 are five-coordinate containing three nitrogens from bteb, one oxygen from a monodentate formate and the other one from a bridging O. Hirshfeld surface analyses and 2-D fingerprint plots display that the main interactions are O···H/H···O and H···H intermolecular interactions in 1 and 2. The thermal decomposition behaviors of 1 and 2 were studied by using thermogravimetric analysis. UV-Vis absorption and photoluminescent properties of 1 and 2 were also investigated.
The evolution of beamed GRB afterglow: non-relativistic case

description: There has been increasing evidence that at least some GRBs are emission beamed. The beamed GRB afterglow evolution has been discussed by several authors in the ultra-relativistic case. It has been shown that the dynamics of the blast wave will be significantly modified by the sideways expansion, and there may be a sharp break in the afterglow light curves under certain circumstances. However, this is true only when the fireball is still relativistic. Here we present an analytical approach to the evolution of the beamed GRB blast wave expanding in the surrounding medium (density $n\propto r^{-s}$) in the non-relativistic case, our purpose is to explore whether the sideways expansion will strongly affect the blast wave evolution as in the relativistic case. We find that the blast wave evolution is strongly dependent on the speed of the sideways expansion. If it expands with the sound speed, then the jet angle $θ$ increases with time as $θ\propto ln t$, which means that the sideways expansion has little effect on the afterglow light curves, the flux $F\propto t^{-\frac{3(5α-1)}{5}}$ for $s=0$ and $F\propto t^{-\frac{7α+1}{3}}$ for $s=2$.It is clear that the light curve of $s=2$ is not always steeper than that of $s=0$, as in the relativistic case.We also show that if the expansion speed is a constant, then the jet angle $θ\propto t$, and the radius $r \propto t^{0}$, in this case the sideways expansion has the most significant effect on the blast wave evolution, the flux $F\propto t^{-(5α-1)}$ independent of $s$, and we expect that there should be a smooth and gradual break in the light curve.
