description: Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a noninvasive medical imaging modality, which provides highresolution transectional images of biological tissue. However, its potential is limited due to a relatively small field of view. To overcome this drawback, we describe a scheme for fully automated stitching of multiple 3D OCT volumes for panoramic imaging. The voxel displacements between two adjacent images are calculated by extending the Lucas-Kanade optical flow a lgorithm to dense volumetric images. A RANSAC robust estimator is used to obtain rigid transformations out of the resulting flow v ectors. T he i mages a re t ransformed into the same coordinate frame and overlapping areas are blended. The accuracy of the proposed stitching scheme is evaluated on two datasets of 7 and 4 OCT volumes, respectively. By placing the specimens on a high-accuracy motorized translational stage, ground truth transformations are available. This results in a mean translational error between two adjacent volumes of 16.6 ± 0.8 μm (2.8 ± 0.13 voxels). To the author’s knowledge, this is the first reported stitching of multiple 3D OCT volumes by using dense voxel information in the registration process. The achieved results are sufficient for providing high accuracy OCT panoramic images. Combined with a recently available high-speed 4D OCT, our method enables interactive stitching of hand-guided acquisitions.

description: Partial wave expansion of the Coulomb-distorted plane wave is determined and studied. Dominant and sub-dominant asymptotic expansion terms are given and leading order three-dimensional asymptotic form is derived. The generalized hypergeometric function $_2F_2(a,a;a+l+1,a-l;z)$ is expressed with the help of confluent hypergeometric functions and the asymptotic expansion of $_2F_2(a,a;a+l+1,a-l;z)$ is simplified.
title: Waterproofing Options for Bridge Decks

description: Due to the increasing use of deicing chemicals and the subsequent intrusion of chlorides into bridge decks, it is necessary to expand the use of available protective measures, including waterproofing materials. Waterproofing options that fall into three categories; 1) membranes (liquid and sheet systems), 2) friction polymers (laminates), and 3) polymer asphalts. This study assessed the waterproofing characteristics of these products. Prior to this study, no common test had been established to compare the performance of waterproofing products. A test method was developed that closely follows ASTM D5084, “Standard Test Methods for Measurement of Hydraulic Conductivity of Saturated Porous Materials Using a Flexible Wall Permeameter,” for this purpose. This test provided valid information to compare performance of waterproofing options.

description: We investigate via quantum molecular-dynamics simulations the thermophysical properties of shocked liquid ammonia up to the pressure 1.3 TPa and temperature 120000 K. The principal Hugoniot is predicted from wide-range equation of state, which agrees well with available experimental measurements up to 64 GPa. Our systematic study of the structural properties demonstrates that liquid ammonia undergoes a gradual phase transition along the Hugoniot. At about 4800 K, the system transforms into a metallic, complex mixture state consisting of $\textnormal{N}\textnormal{H}_{3}$, $\textnormal{N}_{2}$, $\textnormal{H}_{2}$, N, and H. Furthermore, we discuss the implications for the interiors of Uranus and Neptune.

Templated Metallic Nanostructures on Electrospun Fibers: Synthesis, Mechanical Characterization and Filtration Application

Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School

Subjects: classificationCode: 401699

description: The
functionalization of nonwoven electrospun polymeric fibers with metallic
nanostructures has enabled the design of novel nanocomposite materials used in
a wide range of applications. In particular, designs based on incorporating
established antimicrobial species such as copper and silver have potential
applications as antimicrobial filtration membranes, leveraging on the convoluted
fiber assembly and high surface area–to–volume ratios of the constitutive
fibers. Electroless deposition based on spontaneous electrochemical reactions
offers a facile and tunable methodology for surface–confined growth of metallic
nanostructures on the non–planar substrate architectures presented by nonwoven
electrospun fibers.

Firstly, this
work explores, in a broad sense, the effects of two different seed catalyst
chemistries, palladium and silver, on the evolution of copper nanoparticles on
electrospun polyacrylonitrile fibers. Copper nanoparticle coverage and
conformity; deposition kinetics; modifications in the surface chemistry of the
PAN fibers; and thermal stability of the resultant nanocomposites were
examined. Secondly, qualitative and quantitative assessment of the interfacial
adhesion between the copper nanostructures and PAN fibers were undertaken by
exploiting the elastic mismatch between both phases during tensile deformation.
For copper nanocubes on nanofibers, the adhesion energy is estimated to be
between 0.48 J/m2 and 1.0 J/m2 using strain and growth
based adhesion models.

Macroscopically,
the compliant nature of the nonwoven fiber mats makes them susceptible to
out-of-plane deformation during water filtration processes which may alter
their size exclusion configuration for effective filtration. A bulge testing
device is built and implemented to simulate and characterize hydraulic flow –
induced deformation in the electrospun PAN fiber mats. The pressure–deflection
relationships of the mats show a sub-linear dependence in contrast to classical
continuum materials. The macroscopic mat behavior was governed by the
properties of the constituent fibers, with an apparent mat bending rigidity
dependent on the fiber diameters.

 Lastly, the nonwoven fiber mats functionalized
with copper nanoparticles were evaluated for use as potential antimicrobial
microfiltration membranes. The fiber mats displayed high water flux and high
separation efficiency for model 3 μm
particles, with separation factors reaching above 99%.

description: We traced experimentally transition from a single air filament to the superfilament under action of powerful loosely focused (NA ~ 0.0021) femtosecond beam. Two regimes were exploited with multifilament formation by artificial amplitude or intrinsic amplitude/phase front modulation of the beam having 10–60 critical powers P cr. Transverse spatial structure and energy density in the filament were studied using wideband acoustic detection and beam mode imaging single shot techniques at different distances along the optical path. We showed that with intrinsic front modulation a single extremely long ionized channel is formed provided peak power P of the initial beam does not exceed 20P cr. Its volumetric energy density is ~1.5–3 times higher than in the single filament, while linear energy density is almost 10 times higher. Artificial amplitude modulation leads to formation of either a single long filament or two closely spaced filaments at the same initial conditions. Maximal volumetric energy density was the same in both cases and slightly less than without this modulation. A few closely spaced filaments are generated at higher peak powers P with volumetric and linear energy densities experiencing fast nonlinear increase with P. Highest linear energy density achieved was 600 μJ cm−1, i.e. almost 100 times higher than that of the single filament with increase in energy 10 times only. The volumetric energy density also increases by a factor of 10 to ~800 mJ cm−3 proving huge increase in intensity and electron density that is characteristic feature of the superfilamentation. These findings were supported by the numerical simulations based on the Forward Maxwell equation with resolved driver of the field that showed superfilament splitting and confirmed energy densities estimated from the experimental data.

description: Cognitive-behaviour therapy (CBT) is a research-supported treatment for anxiety disorders. Transdiagnostic CBT protocols have been recently developed to manage multiple anxiety disorders. The efficacy of transdiagnostic CBT is directly dependent on acceptability as perceived by patients and health care providers. In this study, we sought to examine the acceptability of transdiagnostic CBT from the patient perspective within the context of a community-based group delivery for mixed anxiety disorders. An embedded qualitative study was conducted as part of a pragmatic randomized clinical trial of group transdiagnostic CBT for anxiety disorders. Semi-structured interviews were conducted based on a meta-framework of the concept of acceptability. Acceptability of the therapy was examined with a thematic analysis of interview verbatims. Seventeen patients were interviewed. Patients’ perception of acceptability of tCBT was classified into eight themes: 1) therapy features; 2) intervention components; 3) group format; 4) group cohesiveness; 5) co-therapists with different expertise; 6) quality of therapeutic alliance; 7) perceived effectiveness; and 8) access to the therapy. The acceptability of transdiagnostic group CBT for patients was generally perceived as adequate in community-based therapy. Recommendations to enhance acceptability of the group therapy were related to group size, group dynamics and exposure. (1) Transdiagnostic group CBT is an effective treatment for anxiety disorders. (2) Studies generally report good acceptability for CBT, but dropout rates suggest a potential area for improvement. (3) To date, few studies have examined the comprehensive concept of acceptability of CBT from the patients’ perspective. (1) A qualitative study was conducted with a meta-framework of the concept of acceptability in the context of a community-based therapy. (2) The acceptability of transdiagnostic group CBT for patients was generally perceived as adequate. (3) Recommendations to enhance acceptability emerged from participants’ experiences concerning the topics of group size, group dynamics and exposure.

description: In Stochastic Optimal Control (SOC) one minimizes the average cost-to-go, that consists of the cost-of-control (amount of efforts), cost-of-space (where one wants the system to be) and the target cost (where one wants the system to arrive), for a system participating in forced and controlled Langevin dynamics. We extend the SOC problem by introducing an additional cost-of-dynamics, characterized by a vector potential. We propose derivation of the generalized gauge-invariant Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation as a variation over density and current, suggest hydrodynamic interpretation and discuss examples, e.g., ergodic control of a particle-within-a-circle, illustrating non-equilibrium space-time complexity.

description: It is known that a linear hamiltonian system has too many invariant measures, thus the problem of convergence to Gibbs measure has no sense. We consider linear hamiltonian systems of arbitrary finite dimension and prove that, under the condition that one distinguished coordinate is subjected to dissipation and white noise, then, for almost any hamiltonians and almost any initial conditions, there exists the unique limiting distribution. Moreover, this distribution is Gibbsian with the temperature depending on the dissipation and of the variance of the white noise.

description: Men’s experiences of living with and managing the symptoms associated with bipolar disorder are poorly understood. There is also a lack of qualitative studies focused on men’s experiences of bipolar disorder despite the clinical importance of this understanding for successfully supporting men to live well and manage mood symptoms. This qualitative study used a photo-elicitation approach to explore how men made sense of managing their mood symptoms when living with bipolar disorder. Six participants took photographs representing their experiences of managing their diagnosis and mood symptoms, which formed the basis of in-depth participant-led semi-structured interviews. An interpretative phenomenological analysis identified four themes: (1) “managing symptoms: living with the enemy”; (2) “we’re not just managing mood episodes”; (3) “managing goes beyond a list of strategies”; and (4) “medication is a necessary evil”. Common across the sample’s experiences was the importance of accommodating the disruption caused by mood-related triggers and symptoms. Notably, explicit descriptions of masculinity or male identity were absent from the participants’ sense-making. Findings support a clinical focus on promoting idiosyncratic recoveries and living well, focusing on life beyond symptom reduction and relapse prevention, and facilitating “sense making” of men’s bipolar diagnoses and experiences in practice.

Likewise, the degeneracy E_{0} = E_{k} (where k\ge 2) takes place, for properly fixed q=q(k), in most of those models. The formerly studied model of q-oscillator known as the Tamm-Dancoff cutoff deformed oscillator is contained in the continua as isolated special case.

description: We develop a technique based on density functional theory and the projector augmented wave method in order to obtain the x-ray absorption cross section at a general edge, both in the electric dipole and quadrupole approximations. The method is a generalization of Taillefumier et al., PRB 66, 195107 (2002). We apply the method to the calculation of the Cu L2,3 edges in fcc copper and cuprite (Cu2O), and to the S L2,3 edges in molybdenite (2H-MoS2). The role of core-hole effects, modeled in a supercell approach, as well as the decomposition of the spectrum into different angular momentum channels are studied in detail. In copper we find that the best agreement with experimental data is obtained when core-hole effects are neglected. On the contrary, core-hole effects need to be included both in Cu2O and 2H-MoS2. Finally we show that a non-negligible component of S L2,3 edges in 2H-MoS2 involves transition to states with s character at all energy scales. The inclusion of this angular momentum channel is mandatory to correctly describe the angular dependence of the measured spectra. We believe that transitions to s character states are quantitatively significant at the L2,3 edges of third row elements from Al to Ar.

description: We point out that in the limit of large number of dimensions a wide class of non-extremal neutral black holes has a universal near horizon limit. The limiting geometry is the two-dimensional black hole of string theory with a two-dimensional target space. Its conformal symmetry explains properties of massless scalars found recently in the large D limit. In analogy to the situation for NS fivebranes, the dynamics near the horizon does not decouple from the asymptotically flat region. We generalize the discussion to charged black p-branes. For black branes with string charges, the near horizon geometry is that of the three-dimensional black strings of Horne and Horowitz. The analogies between the alpha' expansion in string theory and the large D expansion in gravity suggest a possible effective string description of the large D limit of black holes. We comment on applications to several subjects, in particular to the problem of critical collapse.

Vacuum Stability and Higgs Diphoton Decay Rate in the Zee-Babu Model

description: Although recent Higgs data from ATLAS and CMS are compatible with a Standard Model (SM) signal at $2σ$ level, both experiments see indications for an excess in the diphoton decay channel, which points to new physics beyond the SM. Given such a low Higgs mass $m_H \sim 125 {\rm GeV}$, another sign indicating the existence of new physics beyond the SM is the vacuum stability problem, i.e., the SM Higgs quartic coupling may run to negative values at a scale below the Planck scale. In this paper, we study the vacuum stability and enhanced Higgs diphoton decay rate in the Zee-Babu model, which was used to generate tiny Majorana neutrino masses at two-loop level. We find that it is rather difficult to find overlapping regions allowed by the vacuum stability and diphoton enhancement constraints. As a consequence, it is almost inevitable to introduce new ingredients into the model, in order to resolve these two issues simultaneously.

Soliton-radiation trapping in gas-filled photonic crystal fibers
Creators: name: Saleh, Mohammed F.
name: Biancalana, Fabio
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2013
Subjects: subject: Optics (physics.optics)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We propose an optical trapping technique in which a fundamental soliton traps an ultrashort small amplitude radiation in a symmetric hollow-core photonic crystal fiber filled with a noble gas, preventing its dispersion. The system is Raman- and plasma-free. Trapping is due to the cross phase modulation effect between the two pulses. The trapped radiation inside the soliton-induced potential will oscillate periodically due to the shock effect, similar to the motion of a mechanical pendulum.

Quark-gluon mixed condensate for the SU(2) light-flavor sector at finite temperature

description: We investigate the quark-gluon mixed condensate m^2_0 = for the SU(2) light-flavor sector at finite temperature (T). Relevant model parameters, such as the average (anti)instanton size, inter-(anti)instanton distance, and constituent-quark mass at zero virtuality, are modified as functions of T, employing the trivial-holonomy caloron solution. By doing that, we observe correct chiral restoration patterns depending on the current-quark mass m. We also perform the two-loop renormalization-group (RG) evolution for the both condensates by increasing the renormalization scale mu=(0.6~2.0) GeV. It turns out that the mixed condensate is insensitive to the RG evolution, whereas the quark condensate become larger considerably by the evolution. Numerically, we obtain -^1/5 = (0.45 ~ 0.46) GeV at T=0 within the present theoretical framework, and the mixed condensate plays the role of the chiral order parameter for finite T. The ratio of the two condensates m^2_0 is almost flat below the chiral transition T (T_0), and increases rapidly beyond it. From a simple linear parametrization, we obtain m^2_0(T)/m^2_0(0) ~ (0.07, 0.47) T/T_0 + (1,0.6) for (TT_0) at mu=0.6 GeV. The present results are compared with other theoretical ones including the lattice QCD simulations, and show qualitatively good agreement with them.

description: We have performed a detailed pulse phase resolved spectral analysis of the cyclotron resonant scattering features (CRSF) of the two Be/X-ray pulsars A0535+26 and XTE J1946+274 and the wind accreting HMXB pulsar 4U 1907+09 using Suzaku observations. The CRSF parameters vary strongly over the pulse phase and can be used to map the magnetic field and a possible deviation form the dipole geometry in these sources. It also reflects the conditions at the accretion column and the local environment over the changing viewing angles. The pattern of variation with pulse phase are obtained with more than one continuum spectral models for each source, all of which give consistent results. Care is also taken to perform the analysis over a stretch of data having constant spectral characteristics and luminosity to ensure that the results reflect the variations due to the changing viewing angle alone. For A0535+26 and XTE J1946+274 which show energy dependent dips in their pulse profiles, a partial covering absorber is added in the continuum spectral models to take into account an additional absorption at those phases by the accretion stream/column blocking our line of sight.
