description: Narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxies (NLS1s) are arguably one of the key AGN subclasses in investigating the origin of the black hole mass - stellar velocity dispersion (M-sigma) relation because of their high accretion rate and significantly low black hole mass. Currently, it is under discussion whether present-day NLS1s offset from the M-sigma relation. Using the directly measured stellar velocity dispersion of 93 NLS1s at z<0.1, and black hole mass estimates based on the updated mass estimators, we investigate the M-sigma relation of NLS1s in comparison with broad-line AGNs. We find no strong evidence that the NLS1s deviates from the M-sigma relation, which is defined by reverberation-mapped type 1 AGNs and quiescent galaxies. However, there is a clear trend of the offset with the host galaxy morphology, i.e., more inclined galaxies toward the line-of-sight have higher stellar velocity dispersion, suggesting that the rotational broadening plays a role in measuring stellar velocity dispersion based on the single-aperture spectra from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. In addition, we provide the virial factor log f = $0.05 \pm 0.12$ (f = 1.12), for black hole mass estimators based on the FWHM of H$β$, by jointly fitting the M-sigma relation using quiescent galaxies and reverberation-mapped AGNs.

description: We report an eco-friendly route for the reduction of graphene oxide (GO) by Azotobacter chroococcum at room temperature. Examinations using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and transmission electron microscopy indicate the formation of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) with a low degree of agglomeration. Quantitative analyses of electron diffraction data show that the produced rGO consists of single-layer sheets with a random stacking. It is suggested that the GO was reduced directly by the nitrogenase via sequential additions of electrons and protons followed by dehydration. This approach avoids the use of toxic chemical agents and also reduces the agglomeration of rGO.

description: We present a construction of non-equilibrium steady states within conformal field theory. These states sustain energy flows between two quantum systems, initially prepared at different temperatures, whose dynamical properties are represented by two, possibly different, conformal field theories connected through an impurity. This construction relies on a real time formulation of conformal defect dynamics based on a field scattering picture parallelizing - but yet different from - the Euclidean formulation. We present the basic characteristics of this formulation and give an algebraic construction of the real time scattering maps that we illustrate in the case of SU(2)-based conformal field theories.

description: Previous studies on magnetic flux expulsion as a function of cooling details have been performed for superconducting niobium cavities with the cavity beam axis placed parallel respect to the helium cooling flow, and findings showed that for sufficient cooling thermogradients all magnetic flux could be expelled and very low residual resistance could be achieved. In this paper we investigate the flux trapping and its impact on radio frequency surface resistance when the resonators are positioned perpendicularly to the helium cooling flow, which is representative of how superconducting radio-frequency (SRF) cavities are cooled in an accelerator. We also extend the studies to different directions of applied magnetic field surrounding the resonator. Results show that in the cavity horizontal configuration there is a different impact of the various field components on the final surface resistance, and that several parameters have to be considered to understand flux dynamics. A newly discovered phenomenon of concentration of flux lines at the cavity top leading to cavity equator temperature rise is presented.

description: Linear models that contain a time-dependent response and explanatory variables have attracted much interest in recent years. The most general form of the existing approaches is of a linear regression model with autoregressive moving average residuals. The addition of the moving average component results in a complex model with a very challenging implementation. In this paper, we propose to account for the time dependency in the data by explicitly adding autoregressive terms of the response variable in the linear model. In addition, we consider an autoregressive process for the errors in order to capture complex dynamic relationships parsimoniously. To broaden the application of the model, we present an $l_1$ penalized likelihood approach for the estimation of the parameters and show how the adaptive lasso penalties lead to an estimator which enjoys the oracle property. Furthermore, we prove the consistency of the estimators with respect to the mean squared prediction error in high-dimensional settings, an aspect that has not been considered by the existing time-dependent regression models. A simulation study and real data analysis show the successful applications of the model on financial data on stock indexes.

description: Liquid-phase exfoliation of tetraethylammonium graphite intercalation compound (TEA-GIC) has been prepared by high-power tip-sonication of graphite in aqueous TEA solution. The release of gaseous species due to the decomposition of TEA under microwave irradiation led to huge expansion of graphite. The expanded graphite was then exfoliated to produce graphene under mild sonication in organic solvents. Raman and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy measurements indicated that the thus prepared graphene had few defects and little oxidation. In addition, the graphene films exhibited an electrical conductivity of 5000 S m-1 and the production process is easy to scale up and the single-cycle yield reached is as high as 5%.

description: Electrical devices based on suspended multi-wall carbon nanotubes were constructed and studied. The chiral structure of each shell in a particular nanotube was determined using nanobeam electron diffraction in a transmission electron microscope. The transport properties of the carbon nanotube were also measured. The nanotube device length was short enough that the transport was nearly ballistic, and multiple subbands contributed to the conductance. Thermal excitation of carriers significantly affected nanotube resistance at room temperature.

description: Background/ Objectives: Glucocorticoid therapy is the mainstay treatment for GCA. There is no consensus on the dose of prednisolone to be used. Prednisolone regimens used in clinical trials have reported relapse rates of 66 to 92%. The long-term follow-up of Tocilizumab and prednisolone for 1-year showed a relapse rate of 74% at 2 years. The Norwich Regimen is a bespoke prednisolone plan with an initial dose of 1mg/kg of lean body mass. It delivers 164.64 mg/kg of lean body mass in a logarithmic taper over 100 weeks. It was devised to reduce the risk of relapse and allow patients to be in control of their prednisolone reduction. Methods: All patients were diagnosed by biopsy, ultrasonography or PET scan and provided with a printed prednisolone plan at diagnosis. All individuals were assessed at approximately 3-6 monthly intervals in addition to suspected relapse, toxicity or other need for course correction. Relapses were confirmed objectively using a modification of the Kerr criteria. Relapse free survival was recorded at 100 weeks. Patients were given an open invite to contact us in the event of a suspected relapse after coming off prednisolone. A notes review was done to record events at 150 weeks. Results: 150 consecutive people with objectively diagnosed GCA (mean age 74) since 10/01/2012 have completed 150 weeks since starting prednisolone. ug-free, relapse-free survival at 100 weeks was met by 133/150 (89%). 7 individuals died and 20 relapsed. A further 5 died and 15 relapsed by week 150; 103/150 (69%) survivors were in prednisolone-free remission. Of the 12 deaths – 6 died of cancer, 1 subdural haemorrhage, 1 ischaemic bowel, 1 septicaemia, 1 general decline (aged 93). The cause of death was not available for 2 individuals who died in the community. The median time to relapse for the 35 individuals was 80 weeks (IQR 64,109). Conclusions:We report the first results of a bespoke prednisolone taper to be used in real life. The Norwich Regimen for the treatment of GCA results in ug-free relapse-free survival of 89% at 100 weeks and 69% at 150 weeks, which is superior to all other reports published so far.

description: We study a chain of ferromagnetic nano-particles or ferromagnetic molecule/atoms on a substrate of fully gapped superconductors. We find that under quite realistic conditions, the fermion-number-parity symmetry $Z_2^f$ can spontaneously break. In other words, such a chain can realize a 1+1D fermionic topologically ordered state and the corresponding two-fold topological degeneracy on an open chain. Such a topological degeneracy becomes the so called Majorana zero mode in the non-interacting limit. More specifically, we find that $Z_2^f$ symmetry breaking or fermionic 1+1D topological order can appear if (1) the electron hopping $t_{ij}$ between nano-particles is larger than the energy splitting $δE_{eo}$ between the ground states of even and odd electrons on a nano-particle, (2) the Josephson coupling $J_i$ between the superconducting substrate and the nano-particle is larger than or similar to $δE_{eo}$, and (3) the electron hopping amplitude $t_{ij}$ is complex, or more precisely, the phase of gauge invariant combination $J_i t_{ij}^2 J_j^*$ is not zero.

The parameters of the theory, such as the mass of the black hole, the scalar charge of the black hole and the spherical harmonic index is varied to see how the corresponding quasinormal frequencies change. We have also studied the massive scalar field perturbations. Most of the work is done using WKB approach while sections are devoted to compute quasinormal modes via the unstable null geodesics approach and the Poschl-Teller approximation. Comparisons are done with the Schwarzschild black hole.

description: Single HfC nanowire field emitter/electrode structures have been fabricated using nano-assembling and electron beam induced deposition. Field ion microscopy has been applied to study the atomic arrangement of facets formed on a field evaporation-modified HfC nanowire tip. Field evaporation and crystal form studies suggest that the {111} and {110} crystal planes have lower work functions, while the {100}, {210}, and {311} planes have higher work functions. Field emission measurement permits us to obtain that the work function of the {111} crystal plane is about 3.4 eV.

description: In this letter we present a model for quarks and leptons based on T7 as flavour symmetry, predicting a canonical mass relation between charged leptons and down-type quarks proposed earlier. Neutrino masses are generated through a Type-I seesaw mechanism, with predicted correlations between the atmospheric mixing angle and neutrino masses. Compatibility with oscillation results lead to lower bounds for the lightest neutrino mass as well as for the neutrinoless double beta decay rates, even for normal neutrino mass hierarchy.

description: Surface-enhanced Raman scattering spectra of an individual multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWNT) with the innermost diameter ∼1nm, prepared by hydrogen arc discharge, show a single peak of radial breathing mode and multiple splitting of the tangential stretching G-band modes. Based on Lorentzian line shape analysis and related theoretical calculations, the G-band modes of MWNT are confirmed to be composed of both G-band modes (linewidth 4cm-1) from the innermost tube and graphite-like mode (linewidth ∼20cm -1) from the outer cylinders in MWNT. This observation indicates that MWNTs are unique and possess characteristic Raman spectra different from other sp2 carbon allotropes.

Dieses wird seit dem Schuljahresbeginn 2010/2011 auf der Insel Rügen in Kooperation mit den dortigen Grund- und Förderschulen, dem Staatlichen Schulamt Greifswald sowie dem Bildungsministerium Mecklenburg-Vorpommern umgesetzt. Auf Rügen lernen gegenwärtig alle Kinder gemeinsam, kein Kind wird in einer Sonderklasse der genannten Förderschwerpunkte beschult. Das Konzept basiert auf dem US-amerikanischen Response to Intervention-Ansatz (RTI) und wird als Verbindung schulischer Prävention und Integration verstanden. Dieser Ansatz soll u. a. Antworten auf folgende Fragen geben: Wie kann eine erfolgreiche, integrative Beschulung aller Schüler, unter besonderer Berücksichtigung von Kindern mit Entwicklungsrisiken, ermöglicht werden? Welche Unterrichtsmittel, Fördermaterialien und -konzepte sind nicht nur für die „normalen“ und „begabten“ Kinder geeignet, sondern auch für Kinder, die sehr viel mehr Unterstützung bei der Bewältigung schulischer Anforderungen benötigen? Wie kann eine effektive Zusammenarbeit zwischen Regelschul- und Sonderpädagogen aussehen? Das durch die Universität Rostock begleitete Projekt ist deutschlandweit der erste Versuch, ein umfassend strukturiertes Konzept gemäß dem RTI-Ansatz flächendeckend in einer Region umzusetzen.

description: We calculate radiative corrections to a full set of coupling constants for the 125 GeV Higgs boson at the one-loop level in two Higgs doublet models with four types of Yukawa interaction under the softly-broken discrete $Z_2$ symmetry. The renormalization calculations are performed in the on-shell scheme, in which the gauge dependence in the mixing parameter which appears in the previous calculation is consistently avoided. We first show the details of our renormalizaton scheme, and present the complete set of the analytic formulae of the renormalized couplings. We then numerically demonstrate how the inner parameters of the model can be extracted by the future precision measurements of these couplings at the high luminosity LHC and the International Linear Collider.

description: Cancer remains a global health challenge, with an ongoing need for effective treatments. In this study, serum folate binding protein (FBP) was employed to disrupt the uptake of essential folic acid required for the rapid growth of cancer cells. We demonstrated that FBP at micromolar concentrations induced apoptosis, a programmed cell death, in human cancer cells and inhibited tumour growth in mice. Moreover, our gene expression study of FBP-exposed cancer cells and pathway analysis of differentially expressed genes provided valuable mechanistic insights into the cytotoxic effects of FBP on cancer cells via the activation of specific biological pathways.

description: We investigate two competing contact processes on a set of Watts--Strogatz networks with the clustering coefficient tuned by rewiring. The base for network construction is one-dimensional chain of $N$ sites, where each site $i$ is directly linked to nodes labelled as $i\pm 1$ and $i\pm 2$. So initially, each node has the same degree $k_i=4$. The periodic boundary conditions are assumed as well. For each node $i$ the links to sites $i+1$ and $i+2$ are rewired to two randomly selected nodes so far not-connected to node $i$. An increase of the rewiring probability $q$ influences the nodes degree distribution and the network clusterization coefficient $\mathcal{C}$. For given values of rewiring probability $q$ the set $\mathcal{N}(q)=\{\mathcal{N}_1, \mathcal{N}_2, \cdots, \mathcal{N}_M \}$ of $M$ networks is generated. The network's nodes are decorated with spin-like variables $s_i\in\{S,D\}$. During simulation each $S$ node having a $D$-site in its neighbourhood converts this neighbour from $D$ to $S$ state. Conversely, a node in $D$ state having at least one neighbour also in state $D$-state converts all nearest-neighbours of this pair into $D$-state. The latter is realized with probability $p$. We plot the dependence of the nodes $S$ final density $n_S^T$ on initial nodes $S$ fraction $n_S^0$. Then, we construct the surface of the unstable fixed points in $(\mathcal{C}, p, n_S^0)$ space. The system evolves more often toward $n_S^T=1$ for $(\mathcal{C}, p, n_S^0)$ points situated above this surface while starting simulation with $(\mathcal{C}, p, n_S^0)$ parameters situated below this surface leads system to $n_S^T=0$. The points on this surface correspond to such value of initial fraction $n_S^*$ of $S$ nodes (for fixed values $\mathcal{C}$ and $p$) for which their final density is $n_S^T=\frac{1}{2}$.

description: † Rovnoscydmus sp. specimen 8
(Figs 21, 155–160)
Material studied. Late Eocene of Europe, Rovno amber: sex unknown; inclusion in elongate, trapezoidal prism of amber 12 mm long (Fig. 21), collection number K-8972 (SIZK).
Description. Body (Figs 155, 157, 158, 160) elongate, slender and relatively strongly convex, dark brown; BL 1.08 mm.
Head (Figs 156, 159) broadest at eyes, HL 0.20 mm, HW 0.18 mm; vertex and frons confluent, together subtrapezoidal and nearly as long as broad; supraantennal tubercles indistinct; compound eyes large, strongly convex, oval; tempora slightly longer than eyes. Punctures and setae on frons and vertex poorly visible, but short and sparse bristles can be seen on tempora (Fig. 159). Antennae (Figs 156, 159) distinctly shorter than half BL, AnL 0.48 mm, antennal club indistinctly demarcated; antennomeres I–II strongly elongate, III–VIII elongate (at least weakly), IX slightly transverse, X about as long as broad, XI much shorter than IX–X combined, about 1.2 × as long as broad, with rounded apex.
Pronotum poorly visible, broadest site not possible to define; PL 0.25 mm, PW 0.25 mm; punctures and setae not visible.
Elytra (Figs 155, 158) elongate oval, strongly convex, broadest site not possible to define, EL 0.63 mm, EW 0.40 mm, EI 1.56; punctures (Fig. 158) fine, separated by spaces about 3 × as wide as diameters of punctures; setae (Fig. 158) short, sparse, nearly recumbent.
Legs (Figs 157, 160) moderately long, slender, unmodified.
Remarks. The pronotum of this specimen is only partly visible, but the shape of the head, structure of the antenna and ventral pterothoracic structures strongly suggest that this is Rovnoscydmus. The well-exposed anterior portion of the mesoventrite is especially interesting, as it shows clearly the lateral setose impressions functioning as procoxal rests (Fig. 160; pcr) and the median projection of anterior ridge separating the impressions at middle. This inclusion may be conspecific with Rovnoscydmus specimens 4, 5 and? Rovnoscydmus specimen 10, as they were all found in one piece of amber.

description: The transition of the internal structure in microwave chemical-vapor- deposited carbon nanotubes is investigated using scanning electron microscopy and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. By controlling the thickness of the iron catalyst layer, a sequence of carbon nanotube films was obtained with diameters ranging from a few nanometers to over 100 nm. Experiments have established that by continuous reduction of the Fe layer thickness to <1 nm, single- and double-wall carbon nanotube films can be produced, whereas for an Fe film thickness <1 nm, multiwall carbon nanotube films can be synthesized. It was also found that for an Fe thickness ≥5 nm, interlayers (i.e., bamboolike or periodically compartmentalized nanotubes) were formed, while for an iron thickness <2 nm the tubes were primarily hollow. For an intermediate Fe thickness the internal structure of the carbon nanotubes was a mixture of hollow and bamboolike. A growth model which considers bulk and surface diffusions of carbon into andor onto the Fe catalyst surface is proposed to describe this transition and the internal periodic structure.

description: We discuss the possibility to construct supergravity models with a single superfield describing inflation as well as the tiny cosmological constant $V \sim 10^{-120}$. One could expect that the simplest way to do it is to study models with a supersymmetric Minkowski vacuum and then slightly uplift them. However, due to the recently proven no-go theorem, such a tiny uplifting cannot be achieved by a small modification of the parameters of the theory. We illustrate this general result by investigation of models with a single chiral superfield recently proposed by Ketov and Terada. We show that the addition of a small constant or a linear term to the superpotential of a model with a stable supersymmetric Minkowski vacuum converts it to an AdS vacuum, which results in a rapid cosmological collapse. One can avoid this problem and uplift a supersymmetric Minkowski vacuum to a dS vacuum with $V_{0}\sim 10^{-120}$ without violating the no-go theorem by making these extra terms large enough. However, we show that this leads to a strong supersymmetry breaking in the uplifted vacua.

description: We study the stability of Einstein static Universe, with FLRW metric, by considering linear homogeneous perturbations in the kinetic coupled gravity. By taking linear homogeneous perturbations, we find that the stability of Einstein static Universe, in the kinetic coupled gravity with quadratic scalar field potential, for closed ($K=1$) isotropic and homogeneous FLRW Universe depends on the coupling parameters $κ$ and $\varepsilon$. Specifically, for $κ=L_P^2$ and $\varepsilon=1$ we find that the stability condition imposes the inequality $a_0>\sqrt{3}L_P$ on the initial size $a_0$ of the closed Einstein static Universe before the inflation. Such inequality asserts that the initial size of the Einstein static Universe must be greater than the Planck length $L_P$, in consistency with the quantum gravity and quantum cosmology requirements. In this way, we have determined the non-minimal coupling parameter $κ$ in the context of Einstein static Universe. Such a very small parameter is favored in the inflationary models constructed in the kinetic coupled gravity. We have also studied the stability against the vector and tensor perturbations and discussed on the acceptable values of the equation of state parameter.

Year: 2024

description: The Mediterranean Sea is a hotspot of biodiversity, and has a relatively high rate of endemism. In Tunisia, around 35% of marine species are threatened, and Tunisian marine waters seem to have a high rate of endemism. Several factors, linked to anthropogenic activities and climate change, have threatened marine biodiversity, mainly endemic species and their habitats. Given the lack of inventory and data on marine endemic species in Tunisia, this work establishes a non-exhaustive list of marine endemic macrophytes (including seagrasses and macroalgae) present in Tunisia. A description of the status of the listed species was given with the biogeographical distribution areas and main threats.

In total, about twenty marine endemic flora species are inventoried in this work, including one Magnoliophyta (Posidonia oceanica) and the others are macroalgae.

description: The transition from microcrystalline to nanocrystalline diamond films grown from Ar/H2/CH4 microwave plasmas has been investigated. Both the cross-section and plan-view micrographs of scanning electron microscopy reveal that the surface morphology, the grain size, and the growth mechanism of the diamond films depend strongly on the ratio of Ar to H2 in the reactant gases. Microcrystalline grain size and columnar growth have been observed from films produced from Ar/H2/CH4 microwave discharges with low concentrations of Ar in the reactant gases. By contrast, the films grown from Ar/H2/CH4 microwave plasmas with a high concentration of Ar in the reactant gases consist of phase pure nanocrystalline diamond, which has been characterized by transmission electron microscopy, selected area electron diffraction, and electron energy loss spectroscopy. X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy reveal that the width of the diffraction peaks and the Raman bands of the as-grown films depends on the ratio of Ar to H2 in the plasmas and are attributed to the transition from micron to nanometer size crystallites. It has been demonstrated that the microstructure of diamond films deposited from Ar/H2/CH4 plasmas can be controlled by varying the ratio of Ar to H2 in the reactant gas. The transition becomes pronounced at an Ar/H2 volume ratio of 4, and the microcrystalline diamond films are totally transformed to nanocrystalline diamond at an Ar/H2 volume ratio of 9. The transition in microstructure is presumably due to a change in growth mechanism from CH3· in high hydrogen content to C2 as a growth species in low hydrogen content plasmas.
Vortex chains due to nonpairwise interactions and field-induced phase transitions between states with different broken symmetry in superconductors with competing order parameters

description: We study superconductors with two order components and phase separation driven by intercomponent density-density interaction, focusing on the phase where only one condensate has non-zero ground-state density and a competing order parameter exists only in vortex cores. We demonstrate there, that multi-body intervortex interactions can be strongly non-pairwise, leading to some unusual vortex patterns in an external field, such as vortex pairs and vortex chains. We demonstrate that, in external magnetic field, such a system undergoes a field-driven phase transition from (broken) $U(1)$ to (broken) $U(1)\times U(1)$ symmetries, when the subdominant order parameter in the vortex cores acquires global coherence. Observation of these characteristic ordering patterns in surface probes may signal the presence of a subdominant condensate in the vortex core.

Characterization of the known T type dwarfs towards the Sigma Orionis cluster

description: (Abridged) A total of three T type candidates (SOri70, SOri73, and SOriJ0538-0213) lying in the line of sight towards Sigma Orionis were characterized by means of near-infrared photometric, astrometric, and spectroscopic studies. H-band methane images were collected for all three sources and an additional sample of 15 field T type dwarfs using LIRIS/WHT. J-band spectra of resolution of ~500 were obtained for SOriJ0538-0213 with ISAAC/VLT, and JH spectra of resolution of ~50 acquired with WFC3/HST were employed for the spectroscopic classification of SOri70 and 73. Proper motions with a typical uncertainty of +/-3 mas/yr and a time interval of ~7-9 yr were derived. Using the LIRIS observations of the field T dwarfs, we calibrated this imager for T spectral typing via methane photometry. The three SOri objects were spectroscopically classified as T4.5+/-0.5 (SOri73), T5+/-0.5 (SOriJ0538-0213), and T7$^{+0.5}_{-1.0}$ (SOri70). The similarity between the observed JH spectra and the methane colors and the data of field ultra-cool dwarfs of related classifications suggests that SOri70, 73, and SOriJ053804.65-021352.5 do not deviate significantly in surface gravity in relation to the field. Additionally, the detection of KI at ~1.25 microns in SOriJ0538-0213 points to a high-gravity atmosphere. Only the K-band reddish nature of SOri70 may be consistent with a low gravity atmosphere. The proper motions of SOri70 and 73 are measurable and are larger than that of the cluster by >3.5 sigma. The proper motion of SOriJ0538-0213 is consistent with a null displacement. These observations suggest that none of the three T dwarfs are likely Sigma Orionis members, and that either planetary-mass objects with masses below ~4 MJup may not exist free-floating in the cluster or they may lie at fainter near-infrared magnitudes than those of the targets (this is H>20.6 mag), thus remaining unidentified to date.

description: Hydrostatic pressure up to 10 GPa has been applied to determine the lattice compressibility and the dependence of transition temperature Tc of an MgB2 superconducting material that shows a very narrow transition range when prepared by high-pressure sintering. The transition temperature Tc decreases with increasing pressure at a rate of 1.03 K/GPa. The material has a bulk modulus 172 GPa and the unit cell of the MgB2 crystals shows an anisotropic compressibility with its c axis appearing more compressible than the a/b axis. The experimental results are discussed within the framework of the BCS theory, which gives rise to estimates in good agreement with the experimental results.

description: Nanocrystalline diamond thin films have been synthesized in an Ar-CH4 microwave discharge, without the addition of molecular hydrogen. X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, and electron energy loss spectroscopy characterizations show that the films consist of a pure crystalline diamond phase with very small grain sizes ranging from 3 to 20 nm. Atomic force microscopy analysis demonstrates that the surfaces of the nanocrystalline diamond films remain smooth independent of the film thicknesses. Furthermore, the reactant gas pressure, which strongly affects the concentration of C2 dimer in the Ar-CH4 plasma as well as the growth rate of the films, has been found to be a key parameter for the nanocrystalline diamond thin film depositions.

description: We use the conformal bootstrap to study conformal field theories with $O(N)$ global symmetry in $d=5$ and $d=5.95$ spacetime dimensions that have a scalar operator $ϕ_i$ transforming as an $O(N)$ vector. The crossing symmetry of the four-point function of this $O(N)$ vector operator, along with unitarity assumptions, determine constraints on the scaling dimensions of conformal primary operators in the $ϕ_i \times ϕ_j$ OPE. Imposing a lower bound on the second smallest scaling dimension of such an $O(N)$-singlet conformal primary, and varying the scaling dimension of the lowest one, we obtain an allowed region that exhibits a kink located very close to the interacting $O(N)$-symmetric CFT conjectured to exist recently by Fei, Giombi, and Klebanov. Under reasonable assumptions on the dimension of the second lowest $O(N)$ singlet in the $ϕ_i \times ϕ_j$ OPE, we observe that this kink disappears in $d =5$ for small enough $N$, suggesting that in this case an interacting $O(N)$ CFT may cease to exist for $N$ below a certain critical value.

description: Artificial intelligence takes inspiration from the functionalities and structure of the brain to solve complex tasks and allow learning. Yet, hardware realization that simulates the synaptic activities realized with electrical devices still lags behind computer software implementation, which has improved significantly during the past decade. Herein, the capability to emulate synaptic functionalities by exploiting surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) is shown. By depositing photochromic switching molecules (diarylethene) on a thin film of gold, it is possible to reliably control the electronic configuration of the molecules upon illumination cycles with UV and visible light. These reversible changes modulate the dielectric function of the photochromic film and thus enable the effective control of the SPP dispersion relation at the molecule/gold interface. The plasmonic device displays fundamental functions of a synapse such as potentiation, depression, and long‐term plasticity. The integration of such plasmonic devices in an artificial neural network is deployed in plasmonic neuroinspired circuits for optical computing and data transmission.
