description: We investigate theoretically a quantum optomechanical realization of a heat engine. In a generic optomechanical arrangement the optomechanical coupling between the cavity field and the oscillating end-mirror results in polariton normal mode excitations whose character depends on the pump detuning and the coupling strength. By varying that detuning it is possible to transform their character from phonon-like to photon-like, so that they are predominantly coupled to the thermal reservoir of phonons or photons, respectively. We exploit the fact that the effective temperatures of these two reservoirs are different to produce a Otto cycle along one of the polariton branches. We discuss the basic properties of the system in two different regimes: in the optical domain it is possible to extract work from the thermal energy of a mechanical resonator at finite temperature, while in the microwave range one can in principle exploit the cycle to extract work from the blackbody radiation background coupled to an ultra-cold atomic ensemble.

description: The elementary arithmetic operations $+,\cdot,\le$ on integers are well-known to be computable in the weak complexity class $\mathrm{TC}^0$, and it is a basic question what properties of these operations can be proved using only $\mathrm{TC}^0$-computable objects, i.e., in a theory of bounded arithmetic corresponding to $\mathrm{TC}^0$. We will show that the theory $\mathit{VTC}^0$ extended with an axiom postulating the totality of iterated multiplication (which is computable in $\mathrm{TC}^0$) proves induction for quantifier-free formulas in the language $\langle +,\cdot,\le \rangle$ (IOpen), and more generally, minimization for $Σ^b_0$ formulas in the language of Buss's $S_2$.

description: We study the atomic (HI) and molecular hydrogen (H2) contents of early-type galaxies (ETGs) and their gas sources using the GALFORM model of galaxy formation. This model uses a self-consistent calculation of the star formation rate (SFR), which depends on the H2 content of galaxies. We first present a new analysis of HIPASS and ATLAS3D surveys, with special emphasis on ETGs. The model predicts HI and H2 contents of ETGs in agreement with the observations from these surveys only if partial ram pressure stripping of the hot gas is included, showing that observations of neutral gas in `quenched' galaxies place stringent constraints on the treatment of the hot gas in satellites. We find that ~90% of ETGs at z=0 have neutral gas contents supplied by radiative cooling from their hot halos, 8% were supplied by gas accretion from minor mergers that took place in the last 1Gyr, while 2% were supplied by mass loss from old stars. The model predicts neutral gas fractions strongly decreasing with increasing bulge fraction. This is due to the impeded disk regeneration in ETGs, resulting from both active galactic nuclei feedback and environmental quenching by partial ram pressure stripping of the hot gas.

description: A small-town Appalachian deviant confronts the frequent, recurrent grief of the opioid crisis and its mortal, psychological, and communal consequences. This collection endeavors to explore substance use, addiction, geopolitical exploitation of Kentucky, central Appalachia, and surrounding areas, while also celebrating the lives of individual loved ones lost to deaths by suicide, drug overdose, and alcoholism. Here, the common narrative of depravity surrounding addiction is challenged through the rendering of full characters capable of love, trust, friendship, humor, mental health management, and personal growth. Time and place factor fundamentally into the stories told here—whether based in central Kentucky or central Appalachia, these essays reflect their home soil, a region profoundly shaped by the opioid crisis that has ravaged communities for decades, a place that, of necessity, has led the way in implementing Narcan programs and special training for medical professionals confronting the use of powerful opioids like Fentanyl and Carfentanil, a powerful tranquilizing agent originally intended for use on massive animals like elephants. These essays aim to foster solidarity and community action—a rallying call for those waxing and waning when faced with profound grief.

description: A grande maioria das pessoas no nosso país apresentam uma estrutura de base ou algum traço do caráter que Wilhelm Reich denominava de Caráter Oral. Para a Psicologia Corporal, esse caráter se desenvolve quando ocorre um estresse no momento da amamentação e trás consigo características de um vazio intenso existencial, carência, necessidade de chamar a atenção e de ter aprovação e uma sensação de desemparo e solidão. A oralidade, quando se encontra em nível severo e não é bem trabalhada e amadurecida, pode causar diversos transtornos como obesidade, depressão, dependência química e até mesmo o suicídio. Pensando na sociedade de hoje, no contexto da pandemia, tudo que sentimos está a flor da pele e a importância de uma terapia se tornou ainda mais evidente. A busca por mais leveza se encontra no ápice da necessidade coletiva e o amadurecimento da oralidade se faz ainda mais essencial. A Psicologia Corporal apresenta diversas técnicas utilizadas no tratamento que contribuem nesse processo, como massagens, exercícios de respiração e alguns actings da Vegetoterapia.

description: The safety of the Therac-25 is not really a property of the machine alone. Accidents that go unreported contribute to (or at least fail to stop) later accidents. When the TV camera in the room is unplugged, the operator cannot see that the patient is in trouble. So safety is really a property of the entire technical and social system (socio-technical system). In a similar manner, an ethical analysis of the issues in this case requires an awareness of the entire socio-technical system.

description: Bell's Theorem started with two qubits, spins $1/2$. It is a no-go statement on classical (local causal) models of quantum correlations. Only after 25 years, it turned out that for three qubits the situation is even more mind boggling. General statements concerning higher dimensional systems, qutrits etc., started to appear even later, once the spin (higher than $1/2$) picture was replaced by a more broad one, allowing all possible observables. This work is continuation of the Gdansk effort to take advantage of the fact that Bell Theorem can be put in form of a linear programming problem, which in turn can be translated into a computer code. Our results are numerical and classify the strength of non-classicality of various families of three-qutrit states, as measured by resistance to noise. This is a previously uncharted territory. The results may be helpful in suggesting which three-qutrit states are handy for applications in quantum information protocols. One of the surprises is that the W state turns out to have a stronger non-classicality than the GHZ state.

description: Weak-lensing measurements of the averaged shear profiles of galaxy clusters binned by some proxy for cluster mass are commonly converted to cluster mass estimates under the assumption that these cluster stacks have spherical symmetry. In this paper we test whether this assumption holds for optically selected clusters binned by estimated optical richness. Using mock catalogues created from N-body simulations populated realistically with galaxies, we ran a suite of optical cluster finders and estimated their optical richness. We binned galaxy clusters by true cluster mass and estimated optical richness and measure the ellipticity of these stacks. We find that the processes of optical cluster selection and richness estimation are biased, leading to stacked structures that are elongated along the line-of-sight. We show that weak-lensing alone cannot measure the size of this orientation bias. Weak lensing masses of stacked optically selected clusters are overestimated by up to 3-6 per cent when clusters can be uniquely associated with haloes. This effect is large enough to lead to significant biases in the cosmological parameters derived from large surveys like the Dark Energy Survey, if not calibrated via simulations or fitted simultaneously. This bias probably also contributes to the observed discrepancy between the observed and predicted Sunyaev-Zel'dovich signal of optically-selected clusters.

description: Suite à l’introduction du plan d’étude romand entre 2012 et 2013, le moyen d’enseignement romand Sciences de la nature (MER) a été publié. Il est utilisé dans les classes depuis plus d’une année. La présente étude s’intéresse au degré de satisfaction des enseignants de la discipline ainsi qu’à la manière dont le MER est utilisé. Ce manuel étant attendu depuis plusieurs années, une de mes hypothèses est qu’il est bien accueilli, en particulier parmi les enseignants débutants. Les informations concernant le degré de satisfaction et l’utilisation du MER ont été récoltées au moyen d’un questionnaire auprès d’enseignants en formation à la HEP ainsi que de quelques enseignants expérimentés de deux établissements du canton de Vaud. Les résultats montrent que le MER est globalement bien accueilli. Les séquences en lien avec la thématique Corps humain sont les plus appréciées par les répondants, tandis que celles en lien avec la thématique Phénomènes techniques et naturels sont les plus dépréciées. L’effet du nombre d’années d’expérience ainsi que le domaine de formation initiale est faible et variable selon les séquences. Toutefois, il ressort de cette étude que bien que le MER séduise par sa mise en forme (structure, impression couleur, … ), il est fortement décrié pour son contenu (nombreuses erreurs didactiques et conceptuelles, faible différenciation, …. ). En outre, l’aide-mémoire est relativement peu utilisé en classe. Les documents à disposition sur la plateforme sont eux aussi peu utilisé lors de la préparation des séquences d’enseignements. L’intégration de ce nouveau moyen dans les cours se fait donc progressivement avec encore l’utilisation de nombreux compléments. Toutefois, suite à une enquête plus large, il serait nécessaire d’apporter des modifications proposées par les utilisateurs suite à leur expérience en classe et de consulter des spécialistes de la didactique de sciences de la nature afin d’amener des approches favorisant les apprentissages des élèves.

description: We have used the MOST (Microvariability and Oscillations of STars) microsatellite to obtain four weeks of contiguous high-precision broadband visual photometry of the O7.5III(n)((f)) star ξ Persei in November 2011. This star is well known from previous work to show prominent DACs (Discrete Absorption Components) on time-scales of about 2 d from UV spectroscopy and NRP (Non Radial Pulsation) with one (l = 3) p-mode oscillation with a period of 3.5 h from optical spectroscopy. Our MOST-orbit (101.4 min) binned photometry fails to reveal any periodic light variations above the 0.1 mmag 3-sigma noise level for periods of hours, while several prominent Fourier peaks emerge at the 1 mmag level in the two-day period range. These longer-period variations are unlikely due to pulsations, including gravity modes. From our simulations based upon a simple spot model, we deduce that we are seeing the photometric modulation of several co-rotating bright spots on the stellar surface. In our model, the starting times (random) and lifetimes (up to several rotations) vary from one spot to another yet all spots rotate at the same period of 4.18 d, the best-estimated rotation period of the star. This is the first convincing reported case of co-rotating bright spots on an O star, with important implications for drivers of the DACs (resulting from CIRs - Corotating Interaction Regions) with possible bright-spot generation via a breakout at the surface of a global magnetic field generated by a subsurface convection zone.

A simplicial polytope that maximizes the isotropic constant must be a simplex

description: The isotropic constant $L_K$ is an affine-invariant measure of the spread of a convex body $K$. For a $d$-dimensional convex body $K$, $L_K$ can be defined by $L_K^{2d} = \det(A(K))/(\mathrm{vol}(K))^2$, where $A(K)$ is the covariance matrix of the uniform distribution on $K$. It is an outstanding open problem to find a tight asymptotic upper bound of the isotropic constant as a function of the dimension. It has been conjectured that there is a universal constant upper bound. The conjecture is known to be true for several families of bodies, in particular, highly symmetric bodies such as bodies having an unconditional basis. It is also known that maximizers cannot be smooth. In this work we study the gap between smooth bodies and highly symmetric bodies by showing progress towards reducing to a highly symmetric case among non-smooth bodies. More precisely, we study the set of maximizers among simplicial polytopes and we show that if a simplicial polytope $K$ is a maximizer of the isotropic constant among $d$-dimensional convex bodies, then when $K$ is put in isotropic position it is symmetric around any hyperplane spanned by a $(d-2)$-dimensional face and the origin. By a result of Campi, Colesanti and Gronchi, this implies that a simplicial polytope that maximizes the isotropic constant must be a simplex.

Modulation instability in nonlinear complex parity-time (PT) symmetric periodic structures

description: We carry out a modulation instability (MI) analysis in nonlinear complex parity-time (PT) symmetric periodic structures. All the three regimes defined by the PT-symmetry breaking point or threshold, namely, below threshold, at threshold and above threshold are discussed. It is found that MI exists even beyond the PT-symmetry threshold indicating the possible existence of solitons or solitary waves, in conformity with some recent reports. We find that MI does not exist at the PT-symmetry breaking point in the case of normal dispersion below a certain nonlinear threshold. However, in the case of anomalous dispersion regime, MI does exist even at the PT-symmetry breaking point.

description: Signatures of the $SO(5)\times U(1)$ gauge-Higgs unification at LHC and future colliders are explored. The Kaluza-Klein (KK) mass spectra of $γ, Z, Z_R$ and the Higgs self-couplings obey universality relations with the Aharonov-Bohm (AB) phase $θ_H$ in the fifth dimension. The current data at low energies and at LHC indicate $θ_H <0.2$. Couplings of quarks and leptons to KK gauge bosons are determined. Three neutral gauge bosons, the first KK modes $Z_R^{(1)}$, $Z^{(1)}$, and $γ^{(1)}$, appear as $Z'$ bosons in dilepton events at LHC. For $θ_H = 0.114$, the mass and decay width of $Z_R^{(1)}$, $Z^{(1)}$, and $γ^{(1)}$ are (5.73TeV, 482GeV), (6.07TeV, 342GeV), and (6.08TeV, 886GeV), respectively. For $θ_H = 0.073$ their masses are 8.00TeV$\sim$8.61TeV. An excess of events in the dilepton invariant mass should be observed in the $Z'$ search at the upgraded LHC at 14TeV.

description: Boundary layer control (BLC) has been successfully implemented especially on production tactical aircraft in the first half of the past century. Today Active Flow Control (AFC) technologies are being investigated for transport aircraft (a/c) towards lower environmental impacts, improved operating costs and for extending the capability of existing aircraft. Within the European Project Clean Sky2 Large Passenger Aircraft (LPA) numerical and experimental studies address the challenges to apply local active flow control technologies to delay the wing stall at high-lift conditions and enable the close-coupling of Ultra High Bypass Ratio (UHBR) engines as one part of a multidisciplinary evaluation. The research focuses on studying the impact of a so-called slat cutback (i.e. a shorter slat generating less high lift) inboard of the under-wing mounted engine and verifies the aerodynamic benefits of flow control systems.

description: Protoplanetary discs are poorly ionised due to their low temperatures and high column densities, and are therefore subject to three "non-ideal" magnetohydrodynamic effects: Ohmic dissipation, ambipolar diffusion, and the Hall effect. The existence of magnetically driven turbulence in these discs has been a central question since the discovery of the magnetorotational instability. Early models considered Ohmic diffusion only and led to a scenario of layered accretion, in which a magnetically "dead" zone in the disc midplane is embedded within magnetically "active" surface layers at distances ~1-10 au from the central protostellar object. Recent work has suggested that a combination of Ohmic dissipation and ambipolar diffusion can render both the midplane and surface layers of the disc inactive and that torques due to magnetically driven outflows are required to explain the observed accretion rates. We reassess this picture by performing three-dimensional numerical simulations that include, for the first time, all three non-ideal MHD effects. We find that the Hall effect can generically "revive" dead zones by producing a dominant azimuthal magnetic field and a large-scale Maxwell stress throughout the midplane, provided the angular velocity and magnetic field satisfy Omega.B > 0. The attendant large magnetic pressure modifies the vertical density profile and substantially increases the disc scale height beyond its hydrostatic value. Outflows are produced, but are not necessary to explain accretion rates <10^{-7} Msun/yr. The flow in the disc midplane is essentially laminar, suggesting that dust sedimentation may be efficient. These results demonstrate that, if the MRI is relevant for driving mass accretion in protoplanetary discs, one must include the Hall effect to obtain even qualitatively correct results.

description: An amateur birdwatcher contributes to eBird--a citizen science project. When conservation scientists begin tagging owls in the state park near his home and ask his neighbor for permission to conduct research on her property, he wonders whether the value of the knowledge created about endangered species through both studying migration and citizen science projects such as eBird justifies the impact these activities can have on individual birds and species.
Doubly Charged Lepton from an Exotic Doublet at the LHC

description: We studied the signatures at the LHC of the electroweak SU(2) lepton doublet which embeds a doubly charged lepton. The doubly charged lepton pair and single production rates, which are different from the triplet case, are studied and all the detectable decay modes are considered. We also applied the same kinematic cuts as in triplet case to reduce the background at LHC and the needed integrated luminosities to find the doubly charged leptons with different masses are analyzed. We also suggested a method to distinguish the exotic lepton doublet and triplet.

description: In this case, Armando, a Brazilian Federal Senator with a BS and MS in Biology, must confront ethical dilemmas concerning the Amazon forest. Topics for consideration include: 1) the biodiversity and ecosystem services associated with the forest, 2) the social and economic issues surrounding deforestation, and the 3) options available to Armando as he makes his recommendation on how to use the US funds. Finally, we will explore the role of Maria as a science advisor and address her responsibilities, as well as her mistake in addressing the press.

description: We associate to each stable Higgs pair $(A_0,Φ_0)$ on a compact Riemann surface $X$ a singular limiting configuration $(A_\infty,Φ_\infty)$, assuming that $\det Φ$ has only simple zeroes. We then prove a desingularization theorem by constructing a family of solutions $(A_t,tΦ_t)$ to Hitchin's equations which converge to this limiting configuration as $t \to \infty$. This provides a new proof, via gluing methods, for elements in the ends of the Higgs bundle moduli space and identifies a dense open subset of the boundary of the compactification of this moduli space.

description: L’objet de cette étude est d’essentialiser les compétences d’un enseignant d’éducation physique et sportive (EPS) au secondaire 1 dans le canton de Vaud. L’hypothèse de départ est que celles-ci doivent tendre vers des notions humaines, orientées vers les savoir-être. L’objectif est suivi dans la perspective d’une objectivisation des différents points de vue proposés par le curriculum de formation et du cadre légal et scientifique. Enfin, l’auteur aborde le questionnement en cherchant à offrir un regard particulièrement attentif aux propos des maître d’EPS. La recherche est articulée autour de deux axes, à savoir l’exploration du parcours de formation et du cadre légal dans un premier temps, afin de nourrir, dans un second temps, quatre entretiens suivis d’un focus group avec des enseignants expérimentés et impliqués. Les résultas mettent en évidence, dans la globalité, la prévalence des savoir-être. L’adaptabilité aux changements et aux contextes notamment, ainsi que la capacité de communication, comprenant aussi bien l’écoute que les stratégies oratoires, sont clairement mises en valeur. Surtout, c’est bien le savoir qui semble tirer son épingle du jeu: s’ils ne devaient citer qu’une compétence, trois sujets sur quatre choisiraient la connaissance du sport sans hésitations. Un savoir sportif constitué autour de la littérature, mais aussi de la passion et de l’expérience. Dénué de modèles scientifiques, bien que structuré comme un approche mêlant méta-analyse et qualitatif, ce mémoire est aussi une histoire. L’histoire d’un ancien ouvrier qualifié issu du milieu industriel, pétrit de doutes au moment d’aborder une nouvelle carrière dans un métier dit impossible. Impossible, ou peut-être impossible à définir…
The Lusternik-Schnirelmann category of metric spaces

Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Algebraic Topology (math.AT)
subject: General Topology (math.GN)

description: We extend the theory of the Lusternik-Schnirelmann category to general metric spaces by means of covers by arbitrary subsets. We also generalize the definition of the strict category weight. We show that if the Bockstein homomorphism on a metric space is non-zero, then its LS-category is at least two, and use this to compute the category of Pontryagin surfaces. Additionally, we prove that a Polish space with LS-category $n$ can be presented as the inverse limit of ANR spaces of category at most $n$.

description: Nuclear quantum effects, such as zero-point energy and tunneling, cause significant changes to the structure and dynamics of hydrogen bonded systems such as liquid water. However, due to the current inability to simulate liquid water using an exact description of its electronic structure, the interplay between nuclear and electronic quantum effects remains unclear. Here we use simulations that incorporate the quantum mechanical nature of both the nuclei and electrons to provide a fully ab initio determination of the particle quantum kinetic energies, free energy change upon exchanging hydrogen for deuterium and the isotope fractionation ratio in water. These properties, which selectively probe the quantum nature of the nuclear degrees of freedom, allow us to make direct comparison to recent experiments and elucidate how electronic exchange and correlation and nuclear quantum fluctuations determine the structure of the hydrogen bond in water.

description: This case explores a variety of ethical issues concerning ecotourism. The setting is a fictitious lodge in Botswana's Okavango Delta, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Mini-vignettes offer three perspectives. Nuru is a poor Botswanan who lives near the lodge and would like to be involved in its activities. Rachel, the lodge'snew manager, has just come to the position from working as a field biologist specializing in African elephants with Conservation International (CI), a non-profit dedicated to worldwide conservation of ecosystems. She must make decisions on how the lodge will pursue environmental and sustainability goals. Mahendra is a well-known expert in elephant behavior and social structures, as well as an avid traveler and photographer. He is coming to the delta to conduct research and must decide where he and his family will stay.
