description: We study the phenomenology of the strong-coupling limit of $E_8\times E_8$ heterotic string obtained from M-theory, using a Calabi-Yau compactification. After summarizing the standard embedding results, we concentrate on non-standard embedding vacua as well as vacua where non-perturbative objects as five-branes are present. We analyze in detail the different scales of the theory, eleven-dimensional Planck mass, compactification scale, orbifold scale, and how they are related taking into account higher order corrections. To obtain the phenomenologically favored GUT scale is easier than in standard embedding vacua. To lower this scale to intermediate ($\approx 10^{11}$ GeV) or 1 TeV values or to obtain the radius of the orbifold as large as a millimetre is possible. However, we point out that these special limits are unnatural. Finally, we perform a systematic analysis of the soft supersymmetry-breaking terms. We point out that scalar masses larger than gaugino masses can easily be obtained unlike the standard embedding case and the weakly-coupled heterotic string.

Importance of electron correlations in understanding the photo-electron spectroscopy and the Weyl character of MoTe$_2$

description: We study the role of electron correlations in the presumed type II Weyl semimetallic candidate $γ$-MoTe$_2$ by employing density functional theory (DFT) where the on-site Coulomb repulsion (Hubbard U) for the Mo 4$d$ states is included within the DFT+U scheme. We show that pure DFT calculations fail to describe important features of the light-polarization dependence of the angular resolved photoemission intensity which can be accounted for by including the role of the Hubbard U. At the same time, while pure DFT calculations cannot explain the angular dependence of the Fermi surface as revealed by quantum oscillation experiments (a fact which had raised doubt about the presence of the Weyl physics in $γ$-MoTe$_2$), inclusion of such on-site Coulomb repulsion can. We find that, while the number of Weyl points (WPs) and their position in the Brillouin Zone change as a function of U, a pair of such WPs very close to the Fermi level survive the inclusion of these important corrections. Our calculations suggest that the Fermi surface of $γ$-MoTe$_2$ is in the vicinity of a correlations-induced Lifshitz transition which can be probed experimentally and its interplay with the Weyl physics might be intriguing.

title: Proteomic Response to Acute and Chronic Aerobic Exercise in Healthy Adults

Publisher: name: George Mason University
Year: 2020

description: Purpose: This study investigated the differential response of the human urinary proteome to acute and chronic exercise perturbation in healthy adults with self-reported habitually highly active and sedentary physical activity levels. Methods: Thirteen healthy adults (men, n=6, age=49.7±9.5; women, n=7, age=52.7±5.8) completed peak cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) before and after a vigorous, 17-session aerobic exercise training (AET) regimen over one month. Pre- and post-exercise morning biospecimen samples of the first and last session were collected, harvested in-solution using hydrogel particles, and analyzed via LC-MS/MS. Data were analyzed for significant changes (p-value and q-value <0.05, respectively) between responses using Perseus bioinformatics tools. Results: Exploratory analysis exhibited a greater number of differential proteins in response to acute and chronic high-intensity continuous aerobic exercise in the active group compared to sedentary. More stringent criteria yielded significant changes in both sedentary (3 proteins) and active group samples (23 proteins) in response to chronic training, but not in response to the first or last acute exercise bout. Conclusion: The current study demonstrated significant differences in response of the urinary proteome between self-reported sedentary and highly active individuals using nanotechnology to enable detection of lower-abundance biomarkers of exercise response in the human urinary proteome.
How to Probe for Dynamical Structure in the Collapse of Entangled States Using Nuclear Magnetic Resonance

Year: 1997
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The spin state of two magnetically inequivalent protons in contiguous atoms of a molecule becomes entangeled by the indirect spin-spin interaction (j-coupling). The degree of entanglement oscillates at the beat frequency resulting from the splitting of a degeneracy. This beating is manifest in NMR spectroscopy as an envelope of the transverse magnetization and should be visible in the free induction decay signal. The period (approximately 1 sec) is long enough for interference between the linear dynamics and collapse of the wave-function induced by a Stern-Gerlach inhomogeneity to significantly alter the shape of that envelope. Various dynamical collapse theories can be distinguished by their observably different predictions with respect to this alteration. Adverse effects of detuning due to the Stern-Gerlach inhomogeneity can be reduced to an acceptable level by having a sufficiently thin sample or a strong rf field.

description: We calculate the single-particle Green's function of electrons that are coupled to acoustic phonons by means of higher dimensional bosonization. This non-perturbative method is {\it{not}} based on the assumption that the electronic system is a Fermi liquid. For isotropic three-dimensional phonons we find that the long-range part of the Coulomb interaction cannot destabilize the Fermi liquid state, although for strong electron-phonon coupling the quasi-particle residue is small. We also show that Luttinger liquid behavior in three dimensions can be due to quasi-one-dimensional anisotropy in the electronic band structure {\it{or in the phonon frequencies}}.

Compound Metaoptics for Amplitude and Phase Control of Wavefronts

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2018
Subjects: subject: Optics (physics.optics)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Metasurfaces allow tailored control over electromagnetic wavefronts. However, due to the local conservation of power flow, a passive, lossless, and reflectionless metasurface is limited to imparting phase discontinuities -- and not power density discontinuities -- onto a wavefront. Here, we show how the phase and power density profiles of a wavefront can be independently controlled using two closely-spaced, phase-discontinuous metasurfaces. The two metasurfaces, each designed to exhibit specific refractive properties, are separated by a wavelength-scale distance and together form a compound metaoptic. A systematic design procedure is presented, which allows transformation between arbitrary complex-valued field distributions without reflection, absorption, or active components. Such compound metaoptics may find applications in optical trapping of particles, displaying three-dimensional holographic images, shrinking the size of optical systems, or producing custom (shaped and steered) far-field radiation patterns.
Investigation of the Decay of Orbitally-Excited B Mesons and First Measurement of the Branching Ratio BR(B*_J->B*pi(X))
Creators: name: The OPAL Collaboration

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2000
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Experiment (hep-ex)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: From about 4 million hadronic Z decays recorded by the OPAL detector on and near to the Z resonance, we select a sample of more than 570000 inclusively reconstructed B mesons. Orbitally-excited mesons B*J are reconstructed using Bpi+- combinations. Independently, B* mesons are reconstructed using the decay B* -> Bgamma. The selected B* candidates are used to obtain samples enriched or depleted in the decay B*J -> B*pi+-(X), where (X) refers to decay modes with or without additional accompanying decay particles. From the number of signal candidates in the Bpi+- mass spectra of these two samples, we perform the first measurement of the branching ratio of orbitally-excited B mesons decaying into B*pi(X): BR(B*J ->B*pi(X)) = 0.85 +0.36-0.37 +- 0.12, where the first error is statistical and the second systematic. If B*J decay modes other than single pion transitions can be neglected the measured ratio corresponds to the branching ratio BR(B*J->B*pi). In the framework of Heavy Quark Symmetry, a simultaneous fit to the Bpi+- mass spectra of the samples enriched or depleted in B*J->B*pi+-(X) decays yields the mass and the width of the B1(3/2) state, as well as the branching ratio of B*J mesons decaying into B*pi: M(B1(3/2)) = (5.738 +0.005-0.006 +-0.007) GeV/c2 G(B1(3/2)) = (18 +15-13 +29-23) MeV/c BR(B*J->B*pi) = 0.74 +0.12-0.10 +0.21-0.15, where the uncertainties are statistical and systematic, respectively.

description: Topology in quench dynamics gives rise to intriguing dynamic topological phenomena, which are intimately connected to the topology of static Hamiltonians yet challenging to probe experimentally. Here we experimentally detect momentum-time skyrmions in parity-time (PT)-symmetric non-unitary quench dynamics, which are protected by dynamic Chern numbers defined for the emergent momentum-time manifold. Specifically, we experimentally simulate non-unitary quench dynamics of PT-symmetric topological systems using single-photon discrete-time quantum walks, and demonstrate emergence of skyrmions by constructing the time-dependent non-Hermitian density matrix via direct measurements in position space. Our work experimentally reveals the interplay of PT symmetry and quench dynamics in inducing emergent topological structures, and highlights the application of discrete-time quantum walks for the study of dynamic topological phenomena.

description: These poems are scripts for their own creation. They do not necessarily share a singular speaker or addressee, but together they create an I and a Thou that are sometimes explicit, sometimes implicit, and sometimes blurred with other self/other pairs in particular poems. The poems are interested in the death of the death of God, in the impossibility of memory, and in the possibility of a de-commodified communication. The poems are interested in the body as a birthed thing, in the spiral pattern of its growth, and in its memory. Associative dream-thinking and what Hannah Arendt calls the internal senses (here, in particular, the sense of taste) become a kind of logic by which the poems can proceed. These poems play with what can be covered up, what can be uncovered, and how the distance between the two can be collapsed into a flat field.

A Modalidade de Educação de Jovens e Adultos (EJA) enfrenta desafios significativos no Brasil, que resultam na evasão escolar. Diante disso, este trabalho foi idealizado e colocado em prática como o objetivo de buscar meios que pudessem tornar mais leve e eficiente o processo de ensino e aprendizagem. Neste contexto, decidimos desenvolver nosso projeto de extensão sobre os Relatos de Vida: Construindo e Compartilhando Histórias Pessoais dos Alunos da Escola Estadual Dom Alano Marie Du Noday na Modalidade de Educação de Jovens e Adultos (EJA), em conjunto com a Universidade Federal do Tocantins (UFT), através da disciplina, Tópicos Especiais em Extensão no programa de Pós Graduação do Mestrado em Educação. A Escola foi contemplada por ofertar a modalidade de ensino (EJA), pelo calendário escolar e por sua localização, onde podemos contar com o profissionalismo técnica da Instituição, que se disponibilizaram no que fosse possível para o melhor desenvolvimento das aulas, as quais, foram ofertadas nos dias 13 e 18/11/2024. A metodologia utilizada foi a bibliográfica- exploratória e a qualitativa, pois, vai de encontro aos objetivos do estudo. Os integrantes da pesquisa foram os alunos da EJA, das duas turmas do Ensino Médio, composta por alunos de ambos os sexos, com as idades compreendidas entre 15 a 60 anos. As aulas foram ministradas em duas etapas de acordo o plano de aula feito previamente. Concluímos que nossos dois encontros apesar dos imprevistos, podemos cumprir o que foi proposto no trabalho de extensão e podendo assim ter contribuído de forma significativa para a carreira acadêmica desses Jovens e Adultos, que por diversos motivos não tiveram a mesmas oportunidades que os demais alunos do ensino regular.

This tutorial covers the basics of how electrical energy storage supports decarbonization initiatives across the U.S.   To cover this topic, the 4-hour tutorial will be divided into four (4) sections, starting with a review of current technologies targeted for this area, e.g., lithium ion, pumped hydro, flow batteries, and long duration energy storage.   Next, market application challenges and valuations will be discussed where the focus will be on the duration needed in a decarbonized scenario and market products that may be required to ensure deployment.   In the final two sections, focus will shift to engineering of energy storage systems, code compliance, and interconnection � including electrification technologies.  The last section will review system safety and reliability

description: This research evaluates the degree of affinity that companies’ reports published under the Global Reporting Initiatives(GRI) framework have by using state-of-the-art Natural Language Processing algorithms. Several text mining techniques were implemented for feature extraction, such as Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA)(Blei, Ng, & Jordan, 2003), Transformation into inverse frequency (TF-IDF)(Ramos et al., 2003), FastText(Joulin et al., 2016), Global Vectors(gloVE)(Pennington et al., 2014), Latent Semantic Index (LSA)(Landauer et al., 2013), wor2vec(Rong, 2014), anddoc2vec(Lau & Baldwin, 2016). The obtained results were analyzed from an unsupervised Learning perspective. We extracted string, corpus, and hybrid semantic similarities, and we evaluated the models through an intrinsic assessment methodology. A novel index matching was developed to summarize the results of the semantic valuation. A subset of GRI reports from Nordic listed companies was used for benchmarking our methodology.

description: We review the hypothesis that the acceleration of protons at internal shocks in Gamma Ray Bursts (GRB) could be the origin of the ultra-high energy cosmic rays (UHECR) observed at earth, E_max > 10^19 eV. We find that, even though protons may be accelerated to such energies, their ejection into the interstellar/intergalactic medium is problematic because it is likely to be accompanied by considerable adiabatic losses in the expanding shell. The problem is circumvented by neutrons produced in photohadronic interactions, which are not magnetically bound and thus effectively ejected in the moment of their production. They can be both produced in sufficient number and be able to leave the emission region if the optical depth of the emission region to photohadronic interactions is of order 1. We show that this requirement can be fulfilled under the same conditions which allow acceleration of protons to the highest energies. The production of neutrinos in this process correlates the fluxes of cosmic rays and neutrinos, and makes the hypothesis of UHECR origin in GRBs testable.

description: The dynamical scaling behavior of hydrodynamic and non-hydrodynamic moments of the distribution function is studied using third-order Chapman-Enskog hydrodynamics and anisotropic hydrodynamics for systems undergoing Bjorken and Gubser expansions, where exact solutions of the Boltzmann equation in Relaxation Time Approximation (RTA) are available for comparison. While dimensionless quantities like normalized shear, pressure anisotropy and normalized entropy show at late times universal scaling relations with small (large) Knudsen number for Bjorken (Gubser) flows, dimensionful quantities like the entropy per unit rapidity do not. Although the two hydrodynamic approximation schemes describe the exact attractors for normalized shear with high accuracy, their description for the normalized entropy is less precise. We attribute this to non-negligible couplings to non-hydrodynamic modes in the entropy evolution.

Year: 2004

description: Boy in His Shadow is a collection of four short stories that features four male protagonists struggling to deal with personal identity. Often these men have lived in the shadows of their fathers' God's expectations and their own misunderstandings of masculinity, reflecting the growing generational divide and the effects that divide has on coming of age. The stories deal with the changing times, alienation, personal faith and societal misunderstandings of manhood. Each man is at a pivotal part in his life, where circumstance has forced him to reevaluate who he is and where he's going. The stories are set in the rural and suburban areas of modern-day central Florida, coastal Carolina, and New England.

The thesis emphasizes the importance of narrative perspective, counterpointed characterization, and thematic unity within a traditional, linear structure. Each story is told by a first person retrospective narrator who has learned from his past (the events of the story) but is still searching for answers. Each character's true nature is revealed both by the retrospective narrator and by the conversations and actions of the present action that force the protagonists' secrets, shortcomings and lies to the surface. The stories' antagonists draw out these revelations by putting the protagonists in uncomfortable positions, forcing them to face themselves, an idea called "counterpointed characterization" in Charles Baxter's Burning Down the House (112). All of the stories are unified by a common theme - the quest of the modem man to find personal identity. Within the stories, the themes of love and loss, control and acquiescence, acceptance and rejection are juxtaposed in each man's life.

description: The electric charge of strange quark matter is of vital importance to experiments. A recent investigation shows that strangelets are most likely highly negatively charged, rather than slightly positively charged as previously believed. Our present study indicates that negative charges can indeed lower the critical density, and thus be favorable to the experimental searches in heavy ion collisions. However, too much negative charges can make it impossible to maintain flavor equilibrium.

description: We consider the following communication task in the multi-party setting, which involves a joint random variable $XYZMN$ with the property that $M$ is independent of $YZN$ conditioned on $X$ and $N$ is independent of $XZM$ conditioned on $Y$. Three parties Alice, Bob and Charlie, respectively, observe samples $x,y$ and $z$ from $XYZ$. Alice and Bob communicate messages to Charlie with the goal that Charlie can output a sample from $MN$ having correct correlation with $XYZ$. This task reflects the simultaneous message passing model of communication complexity. Furthermore, it is a generalization of some well studied problems in information theory, such as distributed source coding, source coding with a helper and one sender and one receiver message compression. It is also closely related to the lossy distributed source coding task. Our main result is an achievable communication region for this task in the one-shot setting, through which we obtain a near optimal characterization using auxiliary random variables of bounded size. We employ our achievability result to provide a near-optimal one-shot communication region for the task of lossy distributed source coding, in terms of auxiliary random variables of bounded size. Finally, we show that interaction is necessary to achieve the optimal expected communication cost for our main task.

We prove that the set of SSOS polynomials, an inner approximation of the cone of SOS polynomials, strictly contains the spaces of sparse DSOS/SDSOS polynomials. When applicable, therefore, SSOS optimization is less conservative than its DSOS/SDSOS counterparts. Numerical results for large-scale sparse polynomial optimization problems demonstrate this fact, and also that SSOS optimization can be faster than DSOS/SDSOS methods despite requiring the solution of semidefinite programs instead of less expensive linear/second-order cone programs.

description: In this work we address a novel feature of spreading dynamics of tiny liquid droplets on solid surfaces, namely the case where the ends of the molecules feel different interactions to the surface. We consider a simple model of dimers and short chain--like molecules which cannot form chemical bonds with the surface. We study the spreading dynamics by Molecular Dynamics techniques. In particular, we examine the microscopic structure of the time--dependent precursor film and find that in some cases it can exhibit a high degree of local order. This order persists even for flexible chains. Our results suggest the possibility of extracting information about molecular interactions from the structure of the precursor film.

description: For varying values of $\tanβ$, we study the effect of CP violating phases from the soft supersymmetry breaking terms in string-inspired models on the relic abundance and detection rates of the lightest neutralino (LSP). We find that the phases have no significant effect on the LSP relic abundance but can have a substantial impact on the detection rates.

description: Attributional calculus (AC) is a typed logic system that combines elements of propositional logic, predicate calculus, and multiple-valued logic for the purpose of natural induction. By natural induction is meant a form of inductive learning that generates hypotheses in human-oriented forms, that is, forms that appear natural to people, and are easy to understand and relate to human knowledge. To serve this goal, AC includes non-conventional logic operators and forms that can make logic expressions simpler and more closely related to the equivalent natural language descriptions. AC has two forms, basic and extended, each of which can be bare or annotated. The extended form adds more operators to the basic form, and the annotated form includes parameters characterizing statistical properties of bare expressions. AC has two interpretation schemas, strict and flexible. The strict schema interprets AC expressions as true-false valued, and the flexible schema as continuously-valued. Conventional decision rules, association rules, decision trees, and n-of-m rules all can be viewed as special cases of attributional rules. Attributional rules can be directly translated to natural language, and visualized using concept association graphs and general logic diagrams. AC stems from Variable-Valued Logic 1 (VL1), and is intended to serve as a concept description language in advanced AQ inductive learning programs. To provide a motivation and background for AC the first part of the paper presents basic ideas and assumptions underlying concept learning.
Computable functions, quantum measurements, and quantum dynamics

description: We construct quantum mechanical observables and unitary operators which, if implemented in physical systems as measurements and dynamical evolutions, would contradict the Church-Turing thesis which lies at the foundation of computer science. We conclude that either the Church-Turing thesis needs revision, or that only restricted classes of observables may be realized, in principle, as measurements, and that only restricted classes of unitary operators may be realized, in principle, as dynamics.

description: A large number of papers have introduced novel machine learning and feature extraction methods for automatic classification of AD. However, they are difficult to reproduce because key components of the validation are often not readily available. These components include selected participants and input data, image preprocessing and cross-validation procedures. The performance of the different approaches is also difficult to compare objectively. In particular, it is often difficult to assess which part of the method provides a real improvement, if any. We propose a framework for reproducible and objective classification experiments in AD using three publicly available datasets (ADNI, AIBL and OASIS). The framework comprises: i) automatic conversion of the three datasets into BIDS format, ii) a modular set of preprocessing pipelines, feature extraction and classification methods, together with an evaluation framework, that provide a baseline for benchmarking the different components. We demonstrate the use of the framework for a large-scale evaluation on 1960 participants using T1 MRI and FDG PET data. In this evaluation, we assess the influence of different modalities, preprocessing, feature types, classifiers, training set sizes and datasets. Performances were in line with the state-of-the-art. FDG PET outperformed T1 MRI for all classification tasks. No difference in performance was found for the use of different atlases, image smoothing, partial volume correction of FDG PET images, or feature type. Linear SVM and L2-logistic regression resulted in similar performance and both outperformed random forests. The classification performance increased along with the number of subjects used for training. Classifiers trained on ADNI generalized well to AIBL and OASIS. All the code of the framework and the experiments is publicly available at: https://gitlab.icm-institute.org/aramislab/AD-ML.

Anisotropic inverse Compton scattering in the Galaxy

description: The inverse Compton scattering of interstellar photons off cosmic-ray electrons seems to play a more important role in the generation of diffuse emission from the Galaxy than thought before. The background radiation field of the Galaxy is highly anisotropic since it is dominated by the radiation from the Galactic plane. An observer in the Galactic plane thus sees mostly head-on scatterings even if the distribution of the cosmic-ray electrons is isotropic. This is especially evident when considering inverse Compton scattering by electrons in the halo, i.e. the diffuse emission at high Galactic latitudes. We derive formulas for this process and show that the anisotropy of the interstellar radiation field has a significant effect on the intensity and angular distribution of the Galactic diffuse gamma rays, which can increase the high-latitude Galactic gamma-ray flux up to 40%. This effect should be taken into account when calculating the Galactic emission for extragalactic background estimates.

description: Surface mass balance (SMB) is an important factor in the estimation of sea level change, and data are collected to estimate models for prediction of SMB over the Antarctic ice sheets. Using a quality-controlled aggregate dataset of SMB field measurements with significantly more observations than previous analyses, a fully Bayesian nearest-neighbor Gaussian process model is posed to estimate Antarctic SMB and propose new field measurement locations. A corresponding Antarctic SMB map is rendered using this model and is compared with previous estimates. A prediction uncertainty map is created to identify regions of high SMB uncertainty. The model estimates net SMB to be 2345 Gton $\text{yr}^{-1}$, with 95% credible interval (2273,2413) Gton $\text{yr}^{-1}$. Overall, these results suggest lower Antarctic SMB than previously reported. Using the model's uncertainty quantification, we propose 25 new measurement sites for field study utilizing a design to minimize integrated mean squared error.
Hyperfinite-Dimensional Representations of Canonical Commutation Relation

Year: 1997
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)

description: This paper presents some methods of representing canonical commutation relations in terms of hyperfinite-dimensional matrices, which are constructed by nonstandard analysis. The first method uses representations of a nonstandard extension of finite Heisenberg group, called hyperfinite Heisenberg group. The second is based on hyperfinite-dimensional representations of so(3). Then, the cases of infinite degree of freedom are argued in terms of the algebra of hyperfinite parafermi oscillators, which is mathematically equivalent to a hyperfinite-dimensional representation of so(n).

Scaling of Energy Barriers for Flux Lines and Other Random Systems

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1995
Subjects: subject: Condensed Matter (cond-mat)

description: Using a combination of analytic arguments and numerical simulations, we determine lower and upper bounds for the energy barriers to the motion of a defect line in a random potential at low temperatures. We study the cases of magnetic flux lines in high-$T_{c}$ superconductors in 2 and 3 dimensions, and of domain walls in 2 dimensional random-field Ising models. The results show that, under fairly general conditions, energy barriers have the same scaling as the fluctuations in free energy, except for possible logarithmic factors. This holds not only for barriers between optimal configurations of the line, but also for barriers separating any metastable configuration from a configuration of minimal energy. Similar arguments may be applicable to other elastic media with impurities, such as bunches of flux lines.

Review and Synthesis of the Early Neolithic Cultural Development in Fars, Southern Iran
Creators: name: Alizadeh, Abbas
Publisher: name: Journal of Neolithic Archaeology
Year: 2021

description: After the eve of domestication of some wild species of cereal grains as well as sheep, goat, and pig in the Iranian central Zagros Mountains in the 2nd half of the 8th millennium BC, the process of Neolithization and sedentism began with earnest outside of this core region. This initial Pre-Pottery Neolithic (PPN) phase appeared in Lowland Susiana, in the province of Khuzestan, southwestern Iran, and in highland province of Fars around 7200 BC. While the Pottery Neolithic (PN) phase in Susiana developed into a set of regionally uniform material culture, the contemporary PN landscape in Fars developed into a mosaic of regional cultures with both related and unrelated ceramic tradition. Yet, from the onset of PN, these early communities had inter-regional connection, as the presence of Persian Gulf shells, copper, and obsidian in many of these early settlements indicate. This mosaic of different ceramic traditions eventually developed into two distinct pottery traditions with specific geographic distribution in northern and southeastern Fars.
