description: Based on experimental concentration depth profiles of the antiinflammatory drug dexamethasone in human skin, we model the time-dependent drug penetration by the 1D general diffusion equation that accounts for spatial variations in the diffusivity and free energy. For this, we numerically invert the diffusion equation and thereby obtain the diffusivity and the free-energy profiles of the drug as a function of skin depth without further model assumptions. As the only input, drug concentration profiles derived from X-ray microscopy at three consecutive times are used. For dexamethasone, skin barrier function is shown to rely on the combination of a substantially reduced drug diffusivity in the stratum corneum (the outermost epidermal layer), dominant at short times, and a pronounced free-energy barrier at the transition from the epidermis to the dermis underneath, which determines the drug distribution in the long-time limit. Our modeling approach, which is generally applicable to all kinds of barriers and diffusors, allows us to disentangle diffusivity from free-energetic effects. Thereby we can predict short-time drug penetration, where experimental measurements are not feasible, as well as long-time permeation, where ex vivo samples deteriorate, and thus span the entire timescales of biological barrier functioning.

description: Quantum coherence is an essential feature of quantum mechanics which is responsible for the departure between the classical and quantum world. The recently established resource theory of quantum coherence studies possible quantum technological applications of quantum coherence, and limitations that arise if one is lacking the ability to establish superpositions. An important open problem in this context is a simple characterization for incoherent operations, constituted by all possible transformations allowed within the resource theory of coherence. In this Letter, we contribute to such a characterization by proving several upper bounds on the maximum number of incoherent Kraus operators in a general incoherent operation. For a single qubit, we show that the number of incoherent Kraus operators is not more than 5, and it remains an open question if this number can be reduced to 4. The presented results are also relevant for quantum thermodynamics, as we demonstrate by introducing the class of Gibbs-preserving strictly incoherent operations, and solving the corresponding mixed-state conversion problem for a single qubit.
Universal Extensions of Restricted Classes of Quantum Operations

description: For numerous applications of quantum theory it is desirable to be able to apply arbitrary unitary operations on a given quantum system. However, in particular situations only a subset of unitary operations is easily accessible. This raises the question of what additional unitary gates should be added to a given gate set in order to attain physical universality, i.e., to be able to perform arbitrary unitary transformation on the relevant Hilbert space. In this work, we study this problem for three paradigmatic cases of naturally occurring restricted gate sets: (A) particle-number preserving bosonic linear optics, (B) particle-number preserving fermionic linear optics, and (C) general (not necessarily particle-number preserving) fermionic linear optics. Using tools from group theory and control theory, we classify, in each of these scenarios, what sets of gates are generated, if an additional gate is added to the set of allowed transformations. This allows us to solve the universality problem completely for arbitrary number of particles and for arbitrary dimensions of the single-particle Hilbert space.

description: A novel cuprate Volborthite, Cu3V2O7(OH)2-2H2O, containing an S-1/2 (Cu 2+ spin) kagome-like lattice is studied by magnetic susceptibility, specific heat, and 51 V NMR measurements. Signs for neither long-range order nor spin-gapped singlet ground states are detected down to 1.8 K, in spite of large antiferromagnetic couplings of ~100 K between Cu spins forming a two-dimensional kagome-like network. It is suggested that Volborthite represents a system close to a quantum critical point between classical long-range ordered and quantum disordered phases.

description: We investigate the phase structure of the random-field Ising model with a bimodal random field distribution. Our aim is to test for the possibility of an equilibrium spin-glass phase, and for replica symmetry breaking (RSB) within such a phase. We study a low-temperature region where the spin-glass phase is thought to occur, but which has received little numerical study to date. We use the exchange Monte-Carlo technique to acquire equilibrium information about the model, in particular the $P(q)$ distribution and the spectrum of eigenvalues of the spin-spin correlation matrix (which tests for the presence of RSB). Our studies span the range in parameter space from the ferromagnetic to the paramagnetic phase. We find however no convincing evidence for any equilibrium glass phase, with or without RSB, between these two phases. Instead we find clear evidence (principally from the $P(q)$ distribution) that there are only two phases at this low temperature, with a discontinuity in the magnetization at the transition like that seen at other temperatures.

description: We study the linear thermoelectric response of a quantum dot embedded in a constriction of a quantum Hall bar with fractional filling factors ν=1/m within Laughlin series. We calculate the figure of merit ZT for the maximum efficiency at a fixed temperature difference. We find a significant enhancement of this quantity in the fractional filling in relation to the integer-filling case, which is a direct consequence of the fractionalization of the electron in the fractional quantum Hall state. We present simple theoretical expressions for the Onsager coefficients at low temperatures, which explicitly show that ZT and the Seebeck coefficient increase with m.

description: To investigate the dynamics of driven vortices in superconductors, noise in the local vortex density was investigated in the mixed state of a high-$T_c$ superconductor, Bi$_2$Sr$_2$CaCu$_2$O$_y$, using a two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) micro-Hall probe array. We studied the cross-correlation function, together with the auto-correlation function, both parallel and perpendicular to the direction of flow of the vortices. The broadband noise (BBN) did not have large spatial correlations. This suggests that the BBN is due to the fluctuation of the local vortex density generated by bulk pinning centers under the area of each probe. On the other hand, the narrow-band noise (NBN) (with the the time scale of the transit time of vortices) had large translational correlations. These definitely shows that the NBN was generated by semimacroscopic imperfections like the surface, and macroscopic line defects {\it etc.}. In relation to the dynamic phase diagram, large BBN was observed when the vortices started moving. The dependence of the spatial correlations on the direction of the array relative to the direction of the driving current suggested that plastic flow was present when the large BBN was observed. The gross features of our data agree well with some of the theoretically proposed dynamical phase diagrams of vortices in superconductors.

description: Toy models are highly idealized and extremely simple models. Although they are omnipresent across scientific disciplines, toy models are a surprisingly under-appreciated subject in the philosophy of science. The main philosophical puzzle regarding toy models concerns what the epistemic goal of toy modelling is. One promising proposal for answering this question is the claim that the epistemic goal of toy models is to provide individual scientists with understanding. The aim of this article is to precisely articulate and to defend this claim. In particular, we will distinguish between autonomous and embedded toy models, and then argue that important examples of autonomous toy models are sometimes best interpreted to provide how-possibly understanding, while embedded toy models yield how-actually understanding, if certain conditions are satisfied.

description: We present the first high-resolution map of the cold molecular gas distribution, as traced by CO(2-1) emission with ALMA, in a prominent ram pressure stripped tail. The Norma cluster galaxy ESO 137-001 is undergoing a strong interaction with the surrounding intra-cluster medium and is one of the nearest jellyfish galaxies with a long multi-phase tail. We have mapped the full extent of the tail at 1" (350 pc) angular resolution and found a rich distribution of mostly compact CO regions extending to nearly 60 kpc in length and 25 kpc in width. In total about 10^9 M_sun of molecular gas was detected. The CO features are found predominantly at the heads of numerous small-scale (~ 1.5 kpc) fireballs (i.e., star-forming clouds with linear streams of young stars extending toward the galaxy) but also of large-scale (~ 8 kpc) super-fireballs, and double-sided fireballs that have additional diffuse ionized gas tails extending in the direction opposite to the stellar tails. The new data help to shed light on the origin of the molecular tail - CO filaments oriented in the direction of the tail with only diffuse associated Halpha emission are likely young molecular features formed in situ, whereas other large CO features tilted with respect to the tail may have originated from the densest gas complexes that were pushed gradually away from the disk. The ALMA observations of ESO 137-001, together with observations from HST, Chandra and VLT/MUSE, offer the most complete view of a spectacular ram pressure stripped tail to date.

The fiscus, and the imperial administration of public finance, from Augustus to Trajan

Year: 1972
Subjects: subject: Fiscus (Roman law)
subject: Finance, Public Rome

description: Contrary to the views of many modern scholars there is no evidence that during the first century of the Principate the imperial fiscus emerged as a second treasury of state alongside the old aerarium Saturni. It can be shown, also, that the imperial civil service began to expand and assume systematic control over the administration of the public finances only from the time of the Flavian emperors and Trajan. Again, in the early imperial period 'imperial' and 'senatorial' administrative spheres frequently overlap. This makes it appear unlikely that the general tendency of the first century was for two separate financial organizations - one controlled by the emperor and one by the senate - to emerge.

We then review recent work, featuring holomorphic Courant algebroids, on the description of $\mathcal N=1$ heterotic flux vacua. This work studied the finite deformation problem of the Hull-Strominger system, guided by consideration of the superpotential functional on the relevant space of geometries. It rewrote the system in terms of the Maurer-Cartan set of a particular $L_\infty$-algebra associated to a holomorphic Courant algebroid, with the superpotential itself becoming an analogue of a holomorphic Chern-Simons functional.

We have applied open boundary conditions on the bar sides (the confined directions of length $H$) and periodic along the long direction. We have adopted a hybrid Monte Carlo algorithm to efficiently deal with the critical slowing down and in order to solve the dynamical equations of motion we use a discretization technique which introduces errors only $O((δt)^6)$ in the time step $δt$. Our results demonstrate the validity of scaling using known values of the critical exponents and we obtained the scaling function of the thermal resistivity. We find that our results for the thermal resistivity scaling function are in very good agreement with the available experimental results for pores using the temp

The socioeconomic context of high fertility in rural Nepal : the case of Benighat

Subjects: subject: Fertility, Human Social aspects Case studiesNepal

description: Until very recently Nepal has been characterized by the persistence of high fertility despite a government-pronounced population policy to lower fertility rates in successive development plans. This thesis, using data from Benighat area in Dhading district of the Nepalese hills, examines various contexts of fertility and arrives at the conclusion that the study village is at the onset of fertility transition. The age at marriage has remained too low to inhibit fertility even though some increase in age at marriage over the years has been noted. There are wide variations in marriage patterns reflecting traditional norms but changes are taking place in attitudes towards age at marriage. Fertility differentials among various socioeconomic classes result from low age at marriage and differential access to economic and social services. Women in households with better access to education, land ownership, income and proximity to the highway were in the forefront of fertility regulation even though their completed family size was somewhat higher than that of the others, indicating the limited effects of contraception on fertility. Most Benighat women do not use contraception for spacing and the family planning services delivery mechanism promotes permanent methods which are suitable for couples in higher parities, but give limited options for those who want contraception for spacing. Although programs introduced for the purposes of social engineering, including family planning programs, are beginning to show positive effects in the desired direction, the pace of change is rather slow to alter values and norms regarding family size and childbearing for a rapid fertility decline. Recent changes in the Nepalese political system provide an environment conducive to designing a comprehensive population strategy. Some policy options are recommended for an effective fertility reduction program.

description: A planar ballistic structure is predicted to be highly effective in filtering electron spin from an unpolarized source into two output fluxes with the opposite and practically pure spin polarizations. The operability of the proposed device relies on the peculiar spin-dependent transmission properties of the T-shaped connector in the presence of the Rashba spin-orbit interaction as well as the difference in the dynamic phase gains of the two alternative paths around the ring resonator through upper and lower branches for even and odd eigenmodes.

description: A combination band due to a mechanism whereby a photon excites two or more vibrational modes ({\it e.g.} a bend and a stretch) of an individual molecule is commonly seen in laboratory and astronomical spectroscopy. Here, we present evidence of a much less commonly seen combination band $-$ one where a photon simultaneously excites two adjacent molecules in an ice. In particular, we present near-infrared spectra of laboratory CO/N$_2$ ice samples where we identify a band at 4467.5 cm$^{-1}$ (2.239 $μ$m) that results from single photons exciting adjacent pairs of CO and N$_2$ molecules. We also present a near-infrared spectrum of Neptune's largest satellite Triton taken with the Gemini-South 8.1 meter telescope and the Immersion Grating Infrared Spectrograph (IGRINS) that shows this 4467.5 cm$^{-1}$ (2.239 $μ$m) CO-N$_2$ combination band. The existence of the band in a spectrum of Triton indicates that CO and N$_2$ molecules are intimately mixed in the ice rather than existing as separate regions of pure CO and pure N$_2$ deposits. Our finding is important because CO and N$_2$ are the most volatile species on Triton and so dominate seasonal volatile transport across its surface. Our result will place constraints on the interaction between the surface and atmosphere of Triton. 1

description: We calculated the Madelung energies of both the ground state and excited states in tetrathiafulvalene - p-chloranil (TTF-CA) by taking into account intramolecular charge distribution. The distribution is found to be significant in the neutral-ionic (NI) transition. In the ionic phase, the Madelung energy depends more strongly on the intermolecular distance perpendicular to the $π$-stacking chains than on that along the chains. This indicates that simple single-chain models neglecting interchain electrostatic coupling are not adequate. The gain of the Madelung energy due to dimerization is concluded to be small compared with the other structural changes. We also calculated the formation energy of excited state domains, which appear in the initial process of the phase transition. A one-dimensional excited domain has the smallest energy among the possible domains with the same number of molecules, and the energy per molecule is considerably reduced in increasing the domain size. It is consistent with the experimental suggestion that a large number of excitations were generated by only one photon.

description: For five different Heisenberg spin glass systems, torque experiments were performed in applied magnetic fields up to $4 T$. The Dzyaloshinski-Moriya random anisotropy strengths, the in-field torque onset temperatures, and the torque relaxation were measured. Critical exponents were estimated independently using a standard protocol. The data are strong evidence for a true spin glass ordered state which survives under high applied magnetic fields; they can be interpreted consistently in terms of a chiral ordering model with replica symmetry breaking as proposed by Kawamura and coworkers.

description: Double-layer quantum Hall systems possess interlayer phase coherence at sufficiently small layer separations, even without interlayer tunneling. When interlayer tunneling is present, application of a sufficiently strong in-plane magnetic field $B_\parallel > B_c$ drives a commensurate-incommensurate (CI) transition to an incommensurate soliton-lattice (SL) state. We calculate the Hartree-Fock ground-state energy of the SL state for all values of $B_\parallel$ within a gradient approximation, and use it to obtain the anisotropic SL stiffness, the Kosterlitz-Thouless melting temperature for the SL, and the SL magnetization. The in-plane differential magnetic susceptibility diverges as $(B_\parallel - B_c)^{-1}$ when the CI transition is approached from the SL state.

Theory and Design of Spatial Active Noise Control Systems

description: The concept of spatial active noise control is to use a number of loudspeakers to generate anti-noise sound waves, which would cancel the undesired acoustic noise over a spatial region. The acoustic noise hazards that exist in a variety of situations provide many potential applications for spatial ANC. However, using existing ANC techniques, it is difficult to achieve satisfying noise reduction for a spatial area, especially using a practical hardware setup. Therefore, this thesis explores various aspects of spatial ANC, and seeks to develop algorithms and techniques to promote the performance and feasibility of spatial ANC in real-life applications. We use the spherical harmonic analysis technique as the basis for our research in this work. This technique provides an accurate representation of the spatial noise field, and enables in-depth analysis of the characteristics of the noise field. Incorporating this technique into the design of spatial ANC systems, we developed a series of algorithms and methods that optimizes the spatial ANC systems, towards both improving noise reduction performance and reducing system complexity. Several contributions of this work are: (i) design of compact planar microphone array structures capable of recording 3D spatial sound fields, so that the noise field can be monitored with minimum physical intrusion to the quiet zone, (ii) derivation of a Direct-to-Reverberant Energy Ratio (DRR) estimation algorithm which can be used for evaluating reverberant characteristics of a noisy environment, (iii) propose a few methods to estimate and optimize spatial noise reduction of an ANC system, including a new metric for measuring spatial noise energy level, and (iv) design of an adaptive spatial ANC algorithm incorporating the spherical harmonic analysis technique. The combination of these contributions enables the design of compact, high performing spatial ANC systems for various applications.
Singularity avoidance for collapsing quantum dust in the Lemaitre-Tolman-Bondi model

description: We investigate the fate of the classical singularity in a collapsing dust cloud. For this purpose, we quantize the marginally bound Lemaitre-Tolman-Bondi model for spherically-symmetric dust collapse by considering each dust shell in the cloud individually, taking the outermost shell as a representative. Because the dust naturally provides a preferred notion of time, we can construct a quantum mechanical model for this shell and demand unitary evolution for wave packets. It turns out that the classical singularity can generically be avoided provided the quantization ambiguities fulfill some weak conditions. We demonstrate that the collapse to a singularity is replaced by a bounce followed by an expansion. We finally construct a quantum corrected spacetime describing bouncing dust collapse and calculate the time from collapse to expansion.

Yolnu cosmology : an unchanging cosmos incorporating a rapidly changing world?

description: This thesis is first and foremost a descriptive ethnography of the cosmology of the Yolnu people who live in the North East Arnhem Land region of the Northern Territory of Australia. Supplementary to that description it explores the relationship between the Yolnu presupposition of changelessness, the rapidly changing world in which they live and their cosmology. The thesis is divided into four sections. The first briefly explores the theoretical frameworks to which it relates in terms of the literature on cosmology and world view, presupposition and the taken-for-granted, and extends into an introductory discussion of the Yolnu understandings of the area of thought frequently referred to in English as the spiritual, the metaphysical, or the supernatural. The second section examines human relationships, first from a diachronic perspective and secondly from a synchronic one. The third examines two conceptual areas which relate most closely to Western notions of cosmology in an examination of the Yolnu notions of space and time. Finally the various themes of the thesis are drawn together in two ways. First in an examination of their application in a myth-ritual complex called Banumbirr (the Morning Star) and last of all in an analysis of the ways in which the Morning Star complex, together with the perceptions of relationships, of space, of time and of the supernatural combine to present a corporate model of a cosmos which, while seen to be not changing is structured in such a way as to be able to incorporate change within changelessness. This is an examination of cosmology in a changing world, presuppositions of changelessness, and the present Yolnu responses to change. In examining these, it provides as a by-product, a foundation for the study of the effects of future change on cosmology and presuppositions, and a means by which these may be assessed.

description: Voice Activity Detection (VAD) refers to the problem of distinguishing speech segments from background noise. Numerous approaches have been proposed for this purpose. Some are based on features derived from the power spectral density, others exploit the periodicity of the signal. The goal of this paper is to investigate the joint use of source and filter-based features. Interestingly, a mutual information-based assessment shows superior discrimination power for the source-related features, especially the proposed ones. The features are further the input of an artificial neural network-based classifier trained on a multi-condition database. Two strategies are proposed to merge source and filter information: feature and decision fusion. Our experiments indicate an absolute reduction of 3% of the equal error rate when using decision fusion. The final proposed system is compared to four state-of-the-art methods on 150 minutes of data recorded in real environments. Thanks to the robustness of its source-related features, its multi-condition training and its efficient information fusion, the proposed system yields over the best state-of-the-art VAD a substantial increase of accuracy across all conditions (24% absolute on average).
