Characterisation of Clay-bearing and Fractured terrain at Oxia Planum, and SPLIT testing on Martian Analogues

description: This thesis is focused on characterising Oxia Planum, the landing site for the ExoMars 2022 Rosalind Franklin rover. This involved the investigation and mapping out of the sites’ Clay-bearing Unit, as well as digitising the extensive fracture networks present, using visible to near infrared images. Alongside this a prototype geotechnics tool intended for inclusion on a future Mars mission, the Small Planetary Linear Impulse Tool (SPLIT), was tested to determine how it compares to existing geotechnics tools. The Clay-bearing Unit, consisting of two subunits, was investigated and mapped using the instruments. This was performed to better understand Colour and Stereo Surface Imaging System (CaSSIS) and High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) how the Clay-bearing Unit varies over its extent, and if any such variations correlated to other features at the site. It was found that differences between the two subunits are likely due to mineralogical variation rather than differences in surficial cover, with the formation of the subunits occuring before a channel-forming stage of aqueous activity at the site. Fracture digitisation using HiRISE was also performed, with sites from units at Oxia Planum having their fracture networks digitised and parametrised. These were compared to each other and with sites at Gale Crater; sites on the margins of an unnamed crater within the Vastitas Borealis north polar region; and two Earth-based sites. This indicates that several mechanisms are unlikely to have caused the fracturing seen at Oxia Planum e.g., hydraulic fracturing and thermal fracturing, and identified that the fracturing within the Clay-bearing and Capping Units likely originated during separate fracturing episodes. SPLIT is an instrument designed to remove the upper layers of a target rock, revealing unaltered material to depths of several centimetres. Testing was carried out on Martian analogue samples in field trials and laboratory tests. These tests were generally successful, defined as removing volumes comparable to that achieved using existing instrumentation, with a smaller power expenditure and in less time. However failure to operate on gypsum due to its friability, as well as on a sandstone and a siltstone sample due to the lack of exploitable weaknesses and low mass of these samples (~3 kg), highlight the mass and material strength limits at which SPLIT can nominally operate.

description: The antiferromagnetic spin-$1/2$ Heisenberg model on a kagome lattice is one of the most paradigmatic models in the context of spin liquids, yet the precise nature of its ground state is not understood. We use large scale density matrix normalization group simulations (DMRG) on infinitely long cylinders and find indications for the formation of a gapless Dirac spin liquid. First, we use adiabatic flux insertion to demonstrate that the spin gap is much smaller than estimated from previous DMRG simulation. Second, we find that the momentum dependent excitation spectrum, as extracted from the DMRG transfer matrix, exhibits Dirac cones that match those of a $π$-flux free fermion model (the parton mean-field ansatz of a $U(1)$ Dirac spin liquid)

description: Genus Nostolepis Pander, 1856
 Comment.—We propose that the genus Nostolepis applies only to the representatives previously assigned to this genus which have flank scales that grew by superposition and that belong to the first histological type showing both stranggewebe and odontocytic mesodentine in scale crowns.
 Type species: Nostolepis striata Pander, 1856; Ohesaare Cliff, Saaremaa; Ohesaare Regional Stage, Pridoli, Upper Silurian.
 Species included: N. gracilis Gross, 1947, N. costata Goujet, 1976, N. arctica Vieth, 1980, N. kernavensis Valiukevičius, 1985, N. alta Märss, 1986, N. minima Valiukevičius, 1994, N. taimyrica Valiukevičius, 1994, N. linleyensis Miller and Märss, 1999, N. decora Valiukevičius, 2003a, N. parathleta Valiukevičius, 2003b, N. kozhymica Valiukevičius, 2003b, N. terraborea Valiukevičius, 2003b, N. amplifica Valiukevičius, 2003c, N. magnicostata Valiukevičius, 2003c, N. consueta Valiukevičius, 2003c, and N. musca Valiukevičius, 2003c.
 Revised diagnosis.—Climatiid acanthodian with flank scales of varying size (usually> 0.5 mm) having crowns ornamented by subparallel ridges (usually <8) of variable length; ridges are mainly stout, fading out and rarely reaching posterior crown edges; ridges are rarely bifurcated, and are rarely curved along the lateral edges; some species have raised medial area and lower lateral ledges. Flank scales grew by superposition of layers, with the crown formed of stranggewebe (posterior part) in the lamellae surrounding the primordium, and odontocytic mesodentine incorporating many osteocytes in the anterior crown part; the stranggewebe layer may be enveloped by the mesodentinal network in a growth zone; system of ascending, circular and radial vascular canals developed; bone in scale base highly cellular. The tuberculated head tesserae and tectal plates with “starlet” sculpture grew areally or both areally and superpositionally, and also have a histological structure with stranggewebe and odontocytic mesodentine. Fin spines are short with nodose ribs; they lack an insertion base and subcostal canal, and are composed of odontocytic mesodentine in the ribs and thin outermost layer; the middle layer of cellular bone and osteodentine forms the greatest thickness of the spine; a large central cavity is surrounded by a layer of finely lamellar bone.

description: The dispersion relations of magnons in ferromagnetic pyrochlores with Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction is shown to possess Weyl points, i.\,e., pairs of topological nontrivial crossings of two magnon branches with opposite topological charge. As a consequence of their topological nature, their projections onto a surface are connected by magnon arcs, thereby resembling closely Fermi arcs of electronic Weyl semimetals. On top of this, the positions of the Weyl points in reciprocal space can be tuned widely by an external magnetic field: rotated within the surface plane, the Weyl points and magnon arcs are rotated as well; tilting the magnetic field out-of-plane shifts the Weyl points toward the center $\barΓ$ of the surface Brillouin zone. The theory is valid for the class of ferromagnetic pyrochlores, i.\,e., three-dimensional extensions of topological magnon insulators on kagome lattices. In this Letter, we focus on the $(111)$ surface, identify candidates of established ferromagnetic pyrochlores which apply to the considered spin model, and suggest experiments for the detection of the topological features.

description: For laser cooling considerations, we have theoretically investigated the electronic, rovibrational and hypefine structures of BaF molecule. The highly diagonal Franck-Condon factors and the branching ratios for all possible transitions within the lowest-lying four electronic states have also been calculated. Meanwhile, the mixing between metastable A'2Δ and A2Π states and further the lifetime of the Δ state have been estimated since the loss procedure via Δ state would like fatally destroy the main quasi-cycling Σ-Π transition for cooling and trapping. The resultant hyperfine splittings of each rovibrational states in X2Σ+ state provide benchmarksfor sideband modulations of cooling and repumping lasers and remixing microwaves to address all necessary levels. The calculated Zeeman shift and g-factors for both X and A states serve as benchmarks for selections of the trapping laser polarizations. Our study paves the way for future laser cooling and magneto-optical trapping of the BaF molecule.

Supersymmetric models on magnetized orbifolds with flux-induced Fayet-Iliopoulos terms

description: We study supersymmetric (SUSY) models derived from the ten-dimensional SUSY Yang- Mills theory compactified on magnetized orbifolds, with nonvanishing Fayet-Iliopoulos (FI) terms induced by magnetic fluxes in extra dimensions. Allowing the presence of FI-terms relaxes a constraint on flux configurations in SUSY model building based on magnetized backgrounds. In this case, charged fields develop their vacuum expectation values (VEVs) to cancel the FI-terms in the D-flat directions of fluxed gauge symmetries, which break the gauge symmetries and lead to a SUSY vacuum. Based on this idea, we propose a new class of SUSY magnetized orbifold models with three generations of quarks and leptons. Especially, we construct a model where the right-handed sneutrinos develop their VEVs which restore the supersymmetry but yield lepton number violating terms below the compactification scale, and show their phenomenological consequences.

description: A new method for measuring chance-coincidence backgrounds during the collection of coincidence data is presented. The method relies on acquiring data with near-zero dead time, which is now realistic due to the increasing deployment of flash electronic-digitizer (waveform digitizer) techniques. An experiment designed to use this new method is capable of acquiring more coincidence data, and a much reduced statistical fluctuation of the measured background. A statistical analysis is presented, and used to derive a figure of merit for the new method. Factors of four improvement over other analyses are realistic. The technique is illustrated with preliminary data taken as part of a program to make new measurements of the prompt fission neutron spectra at Los Alamos Neutron Science Center. It is expected that the these measurements will occur in a regime where the maximum figure of merit will be exploited.

description: We construct the gravity duals of the Higgs branches of three-dimensional (four-dimensional) super Yang-Mills theories coupled to $N_\textrm{f}$ quark flavors. The effect of the quarks on the color degrees of freedom is included, and corresponds on the gravity side to the backreaction of $N_\textrm{f}$ flavor D6-branes (D7-branes) on the background of $N_\textrm{c}$ color D2-branes (D3-branes). The Higgsing of the gauge group arises from the dissolution of some color branes inside the flavor branes. The dissolved color branes are represented by non-Abelian instantons whose backreaction is also included. The result is a cascading-like solution in which the effective number of color branes varies along the holographic direction. In the three-dimensional case the solution may include an arbitrary number of quasi-conformal (walking) regions.

description: We study the spatial correlations between the H$α$ emission and different types of massive stars in two local galaxies, the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) and Messier 33. We compare these to correlations derived for core-collapse supernovae (CCSNe) in the literature to connect CCSNe of different types with the initial masses of their progenitors and to test the validity of progenitor mass estimates which use the pixel statistics method. We obtain samples of evolved massive stars in both galaxies from catalogues with good spatial coverage and/or completeness, and combine them with coordinates of main-sequence stars in the LMC from the SIMBAD database. We calculate the spatial correlation of stars of different classes and spectral types with H$α$ emission. We also investigate the effects of distance, noise and positional errors on the pixel statistics method. A higher correlation with H$α$ emission is found to correspond to a shorter stellar lifespan, and we conclude that the method can be used as an indicator of the ages, and therefore initial masses, of SN progenitors. We find that the spatial distributions of type II-P SNe and red supergiants of appropriate initial mass ($\gtrsim$9 $M_{\odot}$) are consistent with each other. We also find the distributions of type Ic SNe and WN stars with initial masses $\gtrsim$20 $M_{\odot}$ consistent, while supergiants with initial masses around 15 $M_{\odot}$ are a better match for type IIb and II-L SNe. The type Ib distribution corresponds to the same stellar types as type II-P, which suggests an origin in interacting binaries. On the other hand, we find that luminous blue variable stars show a much stronger correlation with H$α$ emission than do type IIn SNe.

The first mission was accomplished with the publication of the volume named after the project “The Redefinition of EU presence in Latin America and the Caribbean”, which brings together 18 original contributions on the topic and was published by Peter Lang in 2023. The second objective was met by the release of this innovative open educational resource, or teaching tool, an undertaking that Friedrich-Alexander University Press enthusiastically embraced and published in full open access to reach as wide an audience as possible.
Neutrino Mass Sum Rules

Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Neutrino mass sum rules are an important class of predictions in flavour models relating the Majorana phases to the neutrino masses. This leads, for instance, to enormous restrictions on the effective mass as probed in experiments on neutrinoless double beta decay. While up to now these sum rules have in practically all cases been taken to hold exactly, we will go here beyond that. While the effect of the renormalisation group running can be visible, the qualitative features do not change. This changes somewhat for model dependent corrections which might alter even the qualitative predictions but only for large corrections and a high neutrino mass scale close to the edge of the current limits. This finding backs up the solidity of the predictions derived in the literature apart from some exceptions, and it thus marks a very important step in deriving testable and robust predictions from neutrino flavour models.

Dust evolution processes constrained by extinction curves in nearby galaxies

description: Extinction curves, especially those in the Milky Way (MW), the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), and the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC), have provided us with a clue to the dust properties in the nearby Universe. We examine whether or not these extinction curves can be explained by well known dust evolution processes. We treat the dust production in stellar ejecta, destruction in supernova shocks, dust growth by accretion and coagulation, and dust disruption by shattering. To make a survey of the large parameter space possible, we simplify the treatment of the grain size distribution evolution by adopting the `two-size approximation', in which we divide the grain population into small ($\lesssim 0.03~μ$m) and large ($\gtrsim 0.03~μ$m) grains. It is confirmed that the MW extinction curve can be reproduced in reasonable ranges for the time-scale of the above processes with a silicate-graphite mixture. This indicates that the MW extinction curve is a natural consequence of the dust evolution through the above processes. We also find that the same models fail to reproduce the SMC/LMC extinction curves. Nevertheless, this failure can be remedied by giving higher supernova destruction rates for small carbonaceous dust and considering amorphous carbon for carbonaceous dust; these modification fall in fact in line with previous studies. Therefore, we conclude that the current dust evolution scenario composed of the aforementioned processes is successful in explaining the extinction curves. All the extinction curves favor efficient interstellar processing of dust, especially, strong grain growth by accretion and coagulation.

 Diagnosis.—Vesperaliid acanthodian with high−crowned scales having pores around the neck and a crown plate with a sculpture of four to six linear or slightly wavy ridges, of which two converging ones may form lowly raised medial area; ridges extend the entire crown length or fade out mid−length, reemerging on the posterior edge of the crown behind a smooth area. Scales grew superpositionally or both superpositionally and areally. The stranggewebe with unusually large oriented lacunae and odontocytic mesodentine (only in narrow outer layers of growth zones) form both posterior and anterior parts of the crown; the crown has a system of widened and multiply branched ascending dentinal canals plus radial canals at the base/crown junction.

description: Bacterial migration through confined spaces is critical for several phenomena like: biofilm formation, bacterial transport in soils, and bacterial therapy against cancer . In the present work, \textit{E. coli} (strain K12-MG1655 WT) motility was characterized by recording and analyzing individual bacterium trajectories in a simulated quasi-2-dimensional porous medium. The porous medium was simulated by enclosing, between slide and cover slip, a bacterial-culture sample mixed with uniform 2.98 $μm$ spherical latex particles. The porosity of the medium was controlled by changing the latex particle concentration. By statistically analyzing trajectory parameters like: instantaneous velocity and turn angle, as well as mean squared displacement, we were able to quantify the effects that different latex particle concentrations have upon bacterial motility. To better understand our results, bacterial trajectories were simulated by means of a phenomenological random-walk model (developed ad hoc), and the simulated results were compared with the experimental ones.

description: Vibrational coupling is relevant not only for dissipation of excess energy after chemical reactions but also for elucidating molecular structure and dynamics. It is particularly important for OH stretch vibrational spectra of water, for which it is known that in bulk both intra- and intermolecular coupling alter the intensity and line shape of the spectra. In contrast with bulk, the unified picture of the inter/intra-molecular coupling of OH groups at the water-air interface has been lacking. Here, combining sum-frequency generation experiments and simulation for isotopically diluted water and alcohols, we unveil effects of inter- and intramolecular coupling on the vibrational spectra of interfacial water. Our results show that both inter- and intramolecular coupling contribute to the OH stretch vibrational response of the neat H2O surface, with intramolecular coupling generating a double-peak feature, while the intermolecular coupling induces a significant red shift in the OH stretch response.

description: In this paper, the fractional order of rational Bessel functions collocation method (FRBC) to solve Thomas-Fermi equation which is defined in the semi-infinite domain and has singularity at $x = 0$ and its boundary condition occurs at infinity, have been introduced. We solve the problem on semi-infinite domain without any domain truncation or transformation of the domain of the problem to a finite domain. This approach at first, obtains a sequence of linear differential equations by using the quasilinearization method (QLM), then at each iteration solves it by FRBC method. To illustrate the reliability of this work, we compare the numerical results of the present method with some well-known results in other to show that the new method is accurate, efficient and applicable.

description: The Internet of Things (IoT), which enables common objects to be intelligent and interactive, is considered the next evolution of the Internet. Its pervasiveness and abilities to collect and analyze data which can be converted into information have motivated a plethora of IoT applications. For the successful deployment and management of these applications, cloud computing techniques are indispensable since they provide high computational capabilities as well as large storage capacity. This paper aims at providing insights about the architecture, implementation and performance of the IoT cloud. Several potential application scenarios of IoT cloud are studied, and an architecture is discussed regarding the functionality of each component. Moreover, the implementation details of the IoT cloud are presented along with the services that it offers. The main contributions of this paper lie in the combination of the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) and Message Queuing Telemetry Transport (MQTT) servers to offer IoT services in the architecture of the IoT cloud with various techniques to guarantee high performance. Finally, experimental results are given in order to demonstrate the service capabilities of the IoT cloud under certain conditions.

description: A new solid-state material, N-butyl pyridinium diiodido argentate(I), is synthesized using a simple and effective one-pot approach. In the solid state, the compound exhibits 1D ([AgI2](-))(n) chains that are stabilized by the N-butyl pyridinium cation. The 1D structure is further manifested by the formation of long, needle-like crystals, as revealed from electron microscopy. As the general composition is derived from metal halide-based ionic liquids, the compound has a low melting point of 100-101 degrees C, as confirmed by differential scanning calorimetry. Most importantly, the compound has a conductivity of 10(-6) S cm(-1) at room temperature. At higher temperatures the conductivity increases and reaches to 10(-4 )S cm(-1) at 70 degrees C. In contrast to AgI, however, the current material has a highly anisotropic 1D arrangement of the ionic domains. This provides direct and tuneable access to fast and anisotropic ionic conduction. The material is thus a significant step forward beyond current ion conductors and a highly promising prototype for the rational design of highly conductive ionic solid-state conductors for battery or solar cell applications.

description: We present a muon spin relaxation study on the Ising pyrochlore Nd$_2$Zr$_2$O$_7$ which develops an "all-in-all-out" magnetic order below 0.4~K. At 20~mK far below the ordering transition temperature, the zero-field muon spin relaxation spectra show no static features and can be well described by a dynamical Gaussian-broadened Gaussian Kubo-Toyabe function indicating strong fluctuations of the ordered state. The spectra of the paramagnetic state (below 4.2~K) reveal anomalously slow paramagnetic spin dynamics and show only small difference with the spectra of the ordered state. We find that the fluctuation rate decreases with decreasing temperature and becomes nearly temperature independent below the transition temperature indicating persistent slow spin dynamics in the ground state. The field distribution width shows a small but sudden increase at the transition temperature and then becomes almost constant. The spectra in applied longitudinal fields are well fitted by the conventional dynamical Gaussian Kubo-Toyabe function, which further supports the dynamical nature of the ground state. The fluctuation rate shows a peak as a function of external field which is associated with a field-induced spin-flip transition. The strong dynamics in the ordered state are attributed to the transverse coupling of the Ising spins introduced by the multipole interactions.

description: The point-to-set correlation function has proved to be a very valuable tool to probe structural correlations in disordered systems, but more than that, its detailed behavior has been used to try to draw information on the mechanisms leading to glassy behavior in supercooled liquids. For this reason it is of primary importance to discern which of those details are peculiar to glassy systems, and which are general features of confinement. Within the present response we provide an answer to the concerns raised in [J. Chem. Phys. 144, 227101 (2016)].

description: The nucleosynthesis of light elements, from helium up to silicon, mainly occurs in Red Giant and Asymptotic Giant Branch stars and Novae. The relative abundances of the synthesized nuclides critically depend on the rates of the nuclear processes involved, often through non-trivial reaction chains, combined with complex mixing mechanisms. In this review, we summarize the contributions made by LUNA experiments in furthering our understanding of nuclear reaction rates necessary for modeling nucleosynthesis in AGB stars and Novae explosions.

distributed acoustic sensing

description: Distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) is a relatively new technology used in many geophysical applications. The versatility and high temporal-spatial resolution make DAS ideal for rapid deployment surveys such as earthquake-aftershock monitoring and hazard assessment. However, these applications often rely on trenched cable installations that are time consuming and cost prohibitive, or on existing telecom fibers that are limited in spatial coverage. We deploy a DAS array composed of six parallel linear subsections directly on ground surfaces with different conditions. We apply ambient interferometry and adopt a simplified spectral-analysis-of-surface waves (SASW) method to determine the average shear-wave velocity of the top 30 m (VS30). Our methodology results in robust VS30 estimates for each surface deployment subsection that are consistent with collocated 1 m-depth trenched cables. The implications of these findings support DAS as a viable method for non-invasive rapid deployment surface surveys for earthquake hazard assessment.
description: The attached Jupyter Notebook and data files can be used to reproduce the results corresponding to the submitted manuscript "Rapid-surface deployment of a DAS system for earthquake hazard assessment".
description: Approximately 1.0 hour of DAS data were recorded at the Colorado School of Mines campus on December 2nd, 2020 at a 4467 Hz sampling rate with a channel spacing of approximately 2.45 m. A gauge length of 4.0 times the channel spacing was used. We recorded hammer-shot data at 47 locations at the surface, as well as ambient waveforms from a nearby road. The attached data files are virtual shot gathers produced by applying seismic-noise interferometry to the raw DAS data. See manuscript for detailed description of methodology.

description: We propose a method to give a $d+1$ geometry from a $d$ dimensional quantum field theory in the large N expansion. We first construct a $d+1$ dimensional field from the $d$ dimensional one using the gradient flow equation, whose flow time $t$ represents the energy scale of the system such that $t\rightarrow 0$ corresponds to the ultra-violet (UV) while $t\rightarrow\infty$ to the infra-red (IR). We define the induced metric using $d+1$ dimensional field operators. We show that the metric defined in this way becomes classical in the large N limit: quantum fluctuations of the metric are suppressed as 1/N due to the large $N$ factorization property. As a concrete example, we apply our method to the O(N) non-linear $σ$ model in two dimensions. We calculate the three dimensional induced metric, which describes an AdS space in the massless limit. We finally discuss several open issues for future investigations.

description: This study explores the associated life experiences of being diagnosed with fibromyalgia affect how individuals conceptualize life narratives and their relations to their cultural backgrounds, thereby transforming their sense of self. Fibromyalgia is characterized by symptoms such as fatigue and widespread musculoskeletal pain (“Fibromyalgia | Arthritis | CDC” n.d.). The symptoms experienced are inconsistent across patients but other listed common symptoms may include sleep disorders, brain fog, IBS and mental health concerns, etc. (“Fibromyalgia | Arthritis | CDC” n.d.). Diagnosing a disease such as fibromyalgia is a difficult task for both doctors and patients. The difficulty arises out of the fact that the patient experiences intense symptoms but there are often no clinical signs to determine as evidence of illness. As a result, no diagnosis is ever concluded or an eventual diagnosis is made through exclusionary factors rather than through the evidence of clinical signs. All the while the patient is likely experiencing prolonged unexplainable and unending symptoms, that has no clear origin or end. Through interviewing fibromyalgia patients, this study explores the associated dissolution of one’s conception of self throughout the illness experience as a result of transformed social and embodied norms. This research process was examined and analyzed through George Canguilhem’s work on normativity, semiotics, and the anthropological understanding of liminality and embodiment.
A Step towards Advanced Metering for the Smart Grid: A Survey of Energy Monitors

description: The smart grid initiative has encouraged utility companies worldwide to rollout new and smarter versions of energy meters. Before an extensive rollout, which is both labor-intensive and incurs high capital costs, consumers need to be incentivized to reap the long-term benefits of smart grid. Off-the-shelf energy monitors can provide consumers with an insight of such potential benefits. Since energy monitors are owned by the consumer, the consumer has greater control over data which significantly reduces privacy and data confidentiality concerns. We evaluate several existing energy monitors using an online technical survey and online product literature. For consumers, the use of different off-the-shelf energy monitors can help demonstrate the potential gains of smart grid. Our survey indicates a trend towards incorporation of state-of-the-art capabilities, like appliance level monitoring through load disaggregation in energy monitors, which can encourage effective consumer participation. Multiple sensor types and ratings allow some monitors to operate in various configurations and environments.
