description: We present here our observations and analysis of the dayside emission spectrum of the hot Jupiter WASP-103b. We observed WASP-103b during secondary eclipse using two visits of the Hubble Space Telescope with the G141 grism on Wide Field Camera 3 in spatial scan mode. We generated secondary eclipse light curves of the planet in both blended white-light and spectrally binned wavechannels from 1.1-1.7 micron and corrected the light curves for flux contamination from a nearby companion star. We modeled the detector systematics and secondary eclipse spectrum using Gaussian process regression and found that the near-IR emission spectrum of WASP-103b is featureless across the observed near-IR region to down to a sensitivity of 175 ppm, and shows a shallow slope towards the red. The atmosphere has a single brightness temperature of T_B = 2890 K across this wavelength range. This region of the spectrum is indistinguishable from isothermal, but may not manifest from a physically isothermal system, i.e. pseudo-isothermal. A Solar-metallicity profile with a thermal inversion layer at 10^-2 bar fits WASP-103b's spectrum with high confidence, as do an isothermal profile with Solar metallicity and a monotonically decreasing atmosphere with C/O>1. The data rule out a monotonically decreasing atmospheric profile with Solar composition, and we rule out a low-metallicity decreasing profile as non-physical for this system. The pseudo-isothermal profile could be explained by a thermal inversion layer just above the layer probed by our observations, or by clouds or haze in the upper atmosphere. Transmission spectra at optical wavelengths would allow us to better differentiate between potential atmospheric models.

description: Ginzburg-Landau fields are the solutions of the Ginzburg-Landau equations which depend on two positive parameters, $α$ and $β$. We give conditions on $α$ and $β$ for the existence of irreducible solutions of these equations. Our results hold for arbitrary compact, oriented, Riemannian 2-manifolds (for example, bounded domains in $\mathbb{R}^2$, spheres, tori, etc.) with de Gennes-Neumann boundary conditions. We also prove that, for each such manifold and all positive $α$ and $β$, the Ginzburg-Landau free energy is a Palais-Smale function on the space of gauge equivalence classes, Ginzburg-Landau fields exist for only a finite set of energy values, and the moduli space of Ginzburg-Landau fields is compact.

Forward-backward envelope for the sum of two nonconvex functions: Further properties and nonmonotone line-search algorithms

description: We propose ZeroFPR, a nonmonotone linesearch algorithm for minimizing the sum of two nonconvex functions, one of which is smooth and the other possibly nonsmooth. ZeroFPR is the first algorithm that, despite being fit for fully nonconvex problems and requiring only the black-box oracle of forward-backward splitting (FBS) --- namely evaluations of the gradient of the smooth term and of the proximity operator of the nonsmooth one --- achieves superlinear convergence rates under mild assumptions at the limit point when the linesearch directions satisfy a Dennis-Moré condition, and we show that this is the case for quasi-Newton directions. Our approach is based on the forward-backward envelope (FBE), an exact and strictly continuous penalty function for the original cost. Extending previous results we show that, despite being nonsmooth for fully nonconvex problems, the FBE still enjoys favorable first- and second-order properties which are key for the convergence results of ZeroFPR. Our theoretical results are backed up by promising numerical simulations. On large-scale problems, by computing linesearch directions using limited-memory quasi-Newton updates our algorithm greatly outperforms FBS and its accelerated variant (AFBS).

The Impact of Anisotropic Redshift Distributions on Angular Clustering

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2023
Subjects: subject: Cosmology and Nongalactic Astrophysics (astro-ph.CO)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A leading way to constrain physical theories from cosmological observations is to test their predictions for the angular clustering statistics of matter tracers, a technique that is set to become ever more central with the next generation of large imaging surveys. Interpretation of this clustering requires knowledge of the projection kernel, or the redshift distribution of the sources, and the typical assumption is an isotropic redshift distribution for the objects. However, variations in the kernel are expected across the survey footprint due to photometric variations and residual observational systematic effects. We develop the formalism for anisotropic projection and present several limiting cases that elucidate the key aspects. We quantify the impact of anisotropies in the redshift distribution on a general class of angular two-point statistics. In particular, we identify a mode-coupling effect that can add power to auto-correlations, including galaxy clustering and cosmic shear, and remove it from certain cross-correlations. If the projection anisotropy is primarily at large scales, the mode-coupling depends upon its variance as a function of redshift; furthermore, it is often of similar shape to the signal. In contrast, the cross-correlation of a field whose selection function is anisotropic with another one featuring no such variations -- such as CMB lensing -- is immune to these effects. We discuss explicitly several special cases of the general formalism including galaxy clustering, galaxy-galaxy lensing, cosmic shear and cross-correlations with CMB lensing, and publicly release a code to compute the biases.

Robust ergodicity and tracking in antithetic integral control of stochastic biochemical reaction networks

description: Controlling stochastic reactions networks is a challenging problem with important implications in various fields such as systems and synthetic biology. Various regulation motifs have been discovered or posited over the recent years, the most recent one being the so-called Antithetic Integral Control (AIC) motif in Briat et al. (Cell Systems, 2016). Several favorable properties for the AIC motif have been demonstrated for classes of reaction networks that satisfy certain irreducibility, ergodicity and output controllability conditions. Here we address the problem of verifying these conditions for large sets of reaction networks with fixed topology using two different approaches. The first one is quantitative and relies on the notion of interval matrices while the second one is qualitative and is based on sign properties of matrices. The obtained results lie in the same spirit as those obtained in Briat et al. (Cell Systems, 2016) where properties of reaction networks are independently characterized in terms of control theoretic concepts, linear programming conditions and graph theoretic conditions.

description: We demonstrate the phenomenon of induced-charge capacitive deionization (ICCDI) that occurs around a porous and conducting particle immersed in an electrolyte, under the action of an external electric field. The external electric field induces an electric dipole in the porous particle, leading to its capacitive charging by both cations and anions at opposite poles. This regime is characterized by a long charging time which results in significant changes in salt concentration in the electrically neutral bulk, on the scale of the particle. We qualitatively demonstrate the effect of advection on the spatio-temporal concentration field which, through diffusiophoresis, may introduce corrections to the electrophoretic mobility of such particles.

description: The $β$ decays from both the ground state and a long-lived isomer of $^{133}$In were studied at the ISOLDE Decay Station (IDS). With a hybrid detection system sensitive to $β$, $γ$, and neutron spectroscopy, the comparative partial half-lives (logft) have been measured for all their dominant $β$-decay channels for the first time, including a low-energy Gamow-Teller transition and several First-Forbidden (FF) transitions. Uniquely for such a heavy neutron-rich nucleus, their $β$ decays selectively populate only a few isolated neutron unbound states in $^{133}$Sn. Precise energy and branching-ratio measurements of those resonances allow us to benchmark $β$-decay theories at an unprecedented level in this region of the nuclear chart. The results show good agreement with the newly developed large-scale shell model (LSSM) calculations. The experimental findings establish an archetype for the $β$ decay of neutron-rich nuclei southeast of $^{132}$Sn and will serve as a guide for future theoretical development aiming to describe accurately the key $β$ decays in the rapid-neutron capture (r-) process.
Influence of Nambu-Goldstone mode on energy-weighted sum of excitation strengths in random-phase approximation

description: Influence of the Nambu-Goldstone (NG) mode on the energy-weighted sum (EWS) of the excitation strengths is analyzed, within the random-phase approximation (RPA). When a certain symmetry is broken at the mean-field level, a NG mode emerges in the RPA, which can be represented by canonical variables forming a two-dimensional Jordan block. A general formula is rederived which separates out the NG-mode contribution to the EWS, via the projection on the subspace directed by the NG mode. As examples, the formula is applied to the $E1$ excitation and the rotational excitations in nuclei, further confirming theoretical consistency of the RPA.

description: To a Legendrian knot, one can associate an $\mathcal{A}_{\infty}$ category, the augmentation category. An exact Lagrangian cobordism between two Legendrian knots gives a functor of the augmentation categories of the two knots. We study the functor and establish a long exact sequence relating the corresponding cohomology of morphisms of the two ends. As applications, we prove that the functor between augmentation categories is injective on the level of equivalence classes of objects and find new obstructions to the existence of exact Lagrangian cobordisms in terms of linearized contact homology and ruling polynomials.

Crowdsourcing with Unsure Option

description: One of the fundamental problems in crowdsourcing is the trade-off between the number of the workers needed for high-accuracy aggregation and the budget to pay. For saving budget, it is important to ensure high quality of the crowd-sourced labels, hence the total cost on label collection will be reduced. Since the self-confidence of the workers often has a close relationship with their abilities, a possible way for quality control is to request the workers to return the labels only when they feel confident, by means of providing unsure option to them. On the other hand, allowing workers to choose unsure option also leads to the potential danger of budget waste. In this work, we propose the analysis towards understanding when providing the unsure option indeed leads to significant cost reduction, as well as how the confidence threshold is set. We also propose an online mechanism, which is alternative for threshold selection when the estimation of the crowd ability distribution is difficult.

description: The excitation energy of the 1/2$^-$ isomer in $^{99}$In at ${N=50}$ is measured to be 671(37) keV and the mass uncertainty of the 9/2$^+$ ground state is significantly reduced using the ISOLTRAP mass spectrometer at ISOLDE/CERN. The measurements exploit a major improvement in the resolution of the multi-reflection time-of-flight mass spectrometer. The results reveal an intriguing constancy of the $1/2^-$ isomer excitation energies in neutron-deficient indium that persists down to the $N = 50$ shell closure, even when all neutrons are removed from the valence shell. This trend is used to test large-scale shell model, \textit{ab initio}, and density functional theory calculations. The models have difficulties describing both the isomer excitation energies and ground-state electromagnetic moments along the indium chain.

As an application we compute Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomials which are needed to evaluate a character formula for reductive groups due to Lusztig. Some coefficients of these polynomials have interesting interpretations for certain finite groups. We find examples of finite dimensional modules for finite groups with much higher dimensional first cohomology group than in all previously known cases. Some of these examples lead to the construction of finite groups with many maximal subgroups, contradicting an old conjecture by G.~E.~Wall.

title: Students as (More Than) Consumers? A Bourdieusian Exploration of English Undergraduates’ Discourses on and Practices in Higher Education
Creators: name: Azevedo, Carlos Pedro Rodrigues
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2024

description: ‘Students as consumers’ has become the dominant discourse applied to English undergraduate students in the UK. The production and reproduction of this construction by both the UK policymakers and the academic literature is significantly connected to two main developments: the marketisation of higher education (HE) and the increased financial contribution of English students towards their studies in the UK. Nonetheless, there is still a lack of empirical studies incorporating English undergraduate students’ perspectives. Therefore, this study aims to explore English undergraduates’ discourses on and practices in a neoliberalised higher education system, specifically, how, or if, they enact the dominant construction of students as consumers of HE. The three main objectives are: (1) to examine how, if at all, the socioeconomic and educational backgrounds of English undergraduates shape their understandings of HE; (2) to explore how students construct their experiences and struggles within the field of HE, particularly how they conceptualise their positions and dispositions in relation to it; and (3) to appreciate how English undergraduates’ aspirations and expectations for the future, specifically regarding employability, relate to their discourses on and practices in HE. The study involves 37 in-depth, semi-structured qualitative interviews with existing and soon-to-be English undergraduates at different types of universities in England and Scotland. The data was analysed using thematic analysis and drawing on a theoretical model based on Bourdieusian theory complemented by a poststructuralist concept of identity, in which one helps to illuminate the other, enriching the understanding of the interrelationship between individuals and social structure(s) and contributing to extending Bourdieusian literature. The analysis of the findings informs several original contributions regarding English undergraduates’ discourses and practices. Importantly, it shows that, among other aspects, their socioeconomic and educational backgrounds considerably impact the ways in which they enact consumerist discourses on and practices in HE. In this way, this study provides a more nuanced and heterogeneous construction of contemporary English undergraduate students’ identities.
Ultraviolet Photodetectors based on GaN and AlGaN/AlN Nanowire Ensembles: Effects of Planarization with Hydrogen Silsesquioxane and Nanowire Architecture

description: The interest in nanowire photodetectors stems from their potential to improve the performance of a variety of devices, including solar cells, cameras, sensors, and communication systems. Implementing devices based on nanowire ensembles requires a planarization process which must be conceived to preserve the advantages of the nanowire geometry. This is particularly challenging in the ultraviolet (UV) range, where spin coating with hydrogen silsesquioxane (HSQ) appears as an interesting approach in terms of transmittance and refractive index. Here, we report a comprehensive study on UV photodetectors based on GaN or AlGaN/AlN nanowire ensembles encapsulated in HSQ. We show that this material is efficient for passivating the nanowire surface, it introduces a compressive strain in the nanowires and preserves their radiative efficiency. We discuss the final performance of planarized UV photodetectors based on three kinds of nanowire ensembles: (i) non-intentionally-doped (nid) GaN nanowires, (ii) Ge-doped GaN nanowires, and (iii) nid GaN nanowires terminated with an AlGaN/AlN superlattice. The incorporation of the superlattice allows tuning the spectral response with bias, which can enhance the carrier collection from the AlGaN/AlN superlattice or from the GaN stem. In all the cases, the performance of the planarized devices remains determined by the nanowire nature, since their characteristics in terms of linearity and spectral selectivity are closer to those demonstrated in single nanowires than those of planar devices. Thus, the visible rejection is several orders of magnitude and there is no indication of persistent photocurrent, which makes all the samples suitable for UV-selective photodetection applications.

We prove that we can couple the behaviour of any finite number of balls, provided at least two different transition rules are allowed. This coupling makes it possible to define the regeneration events needed by Foss and Zachary to prove convergence results for the distribution of the balls.

There are approximately 12500 desalination plants worldwide. But these plants are costly, both to build and to operate. Industry 4.0 offers new solutions to bring down costs and energy usage. But giving existing desalination plants a “smart” makeover is also costly. Thus, the purpose of this paper is to investigate the technology acceptance of smart desalination plants within water critical areas. An extended version of the technological acceptance (TAM) model with new variables is proposed. These variables are partly tested through two different types of data collection; interviews and surveys. More research is needed to validate the complete model. This paper contains the basis needed in order to conduct further research.

description: During very early age of neutron stars, the core cools down faster compared to the crust creating a large thermal gradient in the interior of the star. During $10-100$ years, a cooling wave propagates from the core to the crust causing the interior of the star to thermalize. During this duration thermal properties of the core material is of great importance to understand the dynamics of the interior of the star. The heat capacity and thermal conductivity of the core depends on the behaviour of matter inside the core. We investigate these two properties in case of magnetars. Due to presence of large magnetic field, the proton superconductivity is quenched partially inside the magnetars depending upon the comparative values of upper critical field and the strength of the magnetic field present. This produces non-uniformity in the behaviour of matter throughout the star. Moreover, such non-uniformity arises from the variation of nature of the pairing and values of the pairing gap energy. We find that the heat capacity is substantially reduced due to the presence of superfluidity. On the other hand, the thermal conductivity of neutron is enhanced due to proton superconductivity and gets reduced due to neutron superfluidity. Hence, the variation of the thermal properties due to superfluidity in presence of magnetic field is different at different radius inside the star. However, in all the cases the %minimum maximum variation is of the order one. This affects the thermal relaxation time of the star and eventually its the thermal evolution.

Jones index, secret sharing and total quantum dimension

description: We study the total quantum dimension in the thermodynamic limit of topologically ordered systems. In particular, using the anyons (or superselection sectors) of such models, we define a secret sharing scheme, storing information invisible to a malicious party, and argue that the total quantum dimension quantifies how well we can perform this task. We then argue that this can be made mathematically rigorous using the index theory of subfactors, originally due to Jones and later extended by Kosaki and Longo. This theory provides us with a "relative entropy" of two von Neumann algebras and a quantum channel, and we argue how these can be used to quantify how much classical information two parties can hide form an adversary. We also review the total quantum dimension in finite systems, in particular how it relates to topological entanglement entropy. It is known that the latter also has an interpretation in terms of secret sharing schemes, although this is shown by completely different methods from ours. Our work provides a different and independent take on this, which at the same time is completely mathematically rigorous. This complementary point of view might be beneficial, for example, when studying the stability of the total quantum dimension when the system is perturbed.

description: In this work, we analyzed the long term gamma-ray data by a Fermi Large Area Telescope (Fermi-LAT) of blazar S2 0109+22, ranging from 2008 to 2023. The quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) of blazars aided in investigating the physical properties of internal supermassive black holes, the nature of variability, and the underlying radiation mechanism. We employed four different methods--Weighted Wavelet Z-transform, Lomb-Scargle periodogram, REDFIT and phase folded light curve analysis, for searching QPO signals. Our analysis identified a possible QPO behavior with a periodicity of $\sim$600 days in November 2013 to January 2023 at a significance level of 3.5 $σ$. This QPO signal sustained $\sim$9 years, corresponding to 5.6 cycles, which was in good agreement with the previously observed of periodicity $\sim$657 days in radio. We explained this phenomenon based on the accretion model and the lighthouse effect, in a binary black hole system.

description: In the past years, it has been observed at several beam test campaigns that irradiated LGAD sensors break with a typical star shaped burn mark when operated at voltages much lower than those at which they were safely operated during laboratory tests. The study presented in this paper was designed to determine the safe operating voltage that these sensors can withstand. Many irradiated sensors from various producers were tested in two test beam facilities, DESY (Hamburg) and CERN-SPS (Geneva), as part of ATLAS High Granularity Timing Detector (HGTD) beam tests. The samples were placed in the beam and kept under bias over a long period of time in order to reach a high number of particles crossing each sensor. Both beam tests lead to a similar conclusion, that these destructive events begin to occur when the average electric field in the sensor becomes larger than 12 Volts per micrometre.

Theory of single photon detection by 'dirty' current-carrying superconducting strip based on the kinetic equation approach

description: Using kinetic equation approach we study dynamics of electrons and phonons in current-carrying superconducting nanostrips after absorption of single photon of near-infrared or optical range. We find that the larger the ratio $C_e/C_{ph}|_{T_c}$ ($T_c$ is a critical temperature of superconductor, $C_e$ and $C_{ph}$ are specific heat capacities of electrons and phonons, respectively) the larger part of photon's energy goes to electrons, they become stronger heated and, hence, could thermalize faster during initial stage of hot spot formation. Thermalization time $τ_{th}$ could be less than one picoseconds for superconductors with $C_e/C_{ph}|_{T_c}\gg 1$ and small diffusion coefficient $D\simeq 0.5 cm^2/s$ when thermalization occurs mainly due to electron-phonon and phonon-electron scattering in relatively small volume $\sim ξ^2d$ ($ξ$ is a superconducting coherence length, $d

A morphological and molecular revision of the taxonomy and phylogeny of calocidae (Trichoptera: Insecta)
Creators: name: Shackleton, Michael
Publisher: name: La Trobe
Year: 2023

description: Caddisflies of the family Calocidae are small to medium sized, semi-aquatic insects endemic to Australia and New Zealand. Until now, only a small portion of the taxonomy of this family has been resolved, with many larval types known but unassociated with described adults and many collected specimens of tentative new species requiring descriptions. Here, fourteen new species are described, and one new genus is established. Associations of larval and adult stages are provided for nine species. This thesis includes six chapters focussing on each of the Australian endemic genera: Caenota, Caloca, Calocoides, Pliocaloca, Tamasia, and a new genus Latarima. The genus Caenota is revised, with descriptions of adults and larvae of two new species, an association between the adult and larva of Caenota nemorosa, a discussion on diagnostic features of the head capsules of all species, and keys to the adult males and larvae. Seven new species of Caloca are described and a key to the adult males provided. An association between the adult male and larva of Caloca tertia is established. Descriptions of the adults and larvae of two new species in each of the genera Calocoides and Pliocaloca are given. The possibility of a new species of Tamasia, based on distinct larvae found on mainland Australia, is investigated including a discussion on the population dynamics of T. variegata. Lastly, a new genus, Latarima, is established and the transfer of Tamasia furcilla to this genus is established. The phylogenetic relationships within Calocidae are explored through coupling morphological and molecular techniques. Morphological characters are used to infer species boundaries and these are tested and refined using genetic data from nuclear (CAD, EF1α, and POL2) and mitochondrial (COI) DNA fragments. This work has practical implications for freshwater research and monitoring programs, which rely on taxonomic information to determine species identities. The exploration into the systematics of this family adds to our understanding of the evolution of the caddisflies.

description: We consider simple modules for a Hecke algebra with a parameter of quantum characteristic $e$. Equivalently, we consider simple modules $D^λ$, labelled by $e$-restricted partitions $λ$ of $n$, for a cyclotomic KLR algebra $R_n^{Λ_0}$ over a field of characteristic $p\ge 0$, with mild restrictions on $p$. If all parts of $λ$ are at most $2$, we identify a set $\mathsf{DStd}_{e,p}(λ)$ of standard $λ$-tableaux, which is defined combinatorially and naturally labels a basis of $D^λ$. In particular, we prove that the $q$-character of $D^λ$ can be described in terms of $\mathsf{DStd}_{e,p}(λ)$. We show that a certain natural approach to constructing a basis of an arbitrary $D^λ$ does not work in general, giving a counterexample to a conjecture of Mathas.
