description: We investigate the relationship between finite terms in lambda-letrec, the lambda calculus with letrec, and the infinite lambda terms they express. As there are easy examples of lambda-terms that, intuitively, are not unfoldings of terms in lambda-letrec, we consider the question: How can those infinite lambda terms be characterised that are lamda-letrec-expressible in the sense that they can be obtained as infinite unfoldings of terms in lambda-letrec? For 'observing' infinite lambda-terms through repeated 'experiments' carried out at the head of the term we introduce two rewrite systems (with rewrite relations) -reg-> and -reg+-> that decompose the term, and produce 'generated subterms' in two notions. Thereby the sort of the step can be observed as well as its target, a generated subterm. In both systems there are four sorts of decomposition steps: -lambda-> steps (decomposing a lambda-abstraction), -@0> and -@1> steps (decomposing an application into its function and argument), and respectively, -del-> steps (delimiting the scope of an abstraction, for -reg->), and -S-> (delimiting of scopes, for -reg+->). These steps take place on infinite lambda-terms furnished with a leading prefix of abstractions for gathering previously encountered lambda-abstractions and keeping the generated subterms closed. We call an infinite lambda-term 'regular'/'strongly regular' if its set of -reg-> -reachable / -reg-> -reachable generated subterms is finite. Furthermore, we analyse the binding structure of lambda-terms with the concept of 'binding-capturing chain'. Using these concepts, we answer the question above by providing two characterisations of lambda-letrec-expressibility. For all infinite lambda-terms M, the following statements are equivalent: (i) M is lambda-letrec-expressible; (ii) M is strongly regular; (iii) M is regular, and it only has finite binding-capturing chains.

Flow visualization using momentum and energy transport tubes and applications to turbulent flow in wind farms

description: As a generalization of the mass-flux based classical stream-tube, the concept of momentum and energy transport tubes is discussed as a flow visualization tool. These transport tubes have the property, respectively, that no fluxes of momentum or energy exist over their respective tube mantles. As an example application using data from large-eddy simulation, such tubes are visualized for the mean-flow structure of turbulent flow in large wind farms, in fully developed wind-turbine-array boundary layers. The three-dimensional organization of energy transport tubes changes considerably when turbine spacings are varied, enabling the visualization of the path taken by the kinetic energy flux that is ultimately available at any given turbine within the array.

description: In superconducting qubits, the interaction of the qubit degree of freedom with quasiparticles defines a fundamental limitation for the qubit coherence. We develop a theory of the pure dephasing rate Γ_ϕ caused by quasiparticles tunneling through a Josephson junction and of the inhomogeneous broadening due to changes in the occupations of Andreev states in the junction. To estimate Γ_ϕ, we derive a master equation for the qubit dynamics. The tunneling rate of free quasiparticles is enhanced by their large density of states at energies close to the superconducting gap. Nevertheless, we find that Γ_ϕ is small compared to the rates determined by extrinsic factors in most of the current qubit designs (phase and flux qubits, transmon, fluxonium). The split transmon, in which a single junction is replaced by a SQUID loop, represents an exception that could make possible the measurement of Γ_ϕ. Fluctuations of the qubit frequency leading to inhomogeneous broadening may be caused by the fluctuations in the occupation numbers of the Andreev states associated with a phase-biased Josephson junction. This mechanism may be revealed in qubits with small-area junctions, since the smallest relative change in frequency it causes is of the order of the inverse number of transmission channels in the junction.

Mutual trust is not blind: the lack of a detailed investigation as a limit to the application of the ne bis in idem principle.
description: The Insight considers the case law of the Court of Justice concerning the notion of "finally disposed", i.e. a constitutive element of the European ne bis in idem principle. In order to trigger the right not to be tried or punished twice, a national decision must be final and has to contain a sufficient determination of the merits of the case. So far, the Court of Justice has interpreted these requirements extensively, by identifying mutual recognition and mutual trust as the engines of the European ne bis in idem. Nonetheless, the Court's recent preliminary ruling in Kossowski clarifies that a lack of an adequate investigation can amount to limiting the scope of the principle at stake. Mutual trust is not blind and national judicial authorities are entitled to make a critical appraisal on the foreign authority's activity, insofar as the reasons stated in its decision closing a case evidently show the lack of a detailed investigation. Following the recent judgment Aranyosi and Căldăraru, Kossowski adds a new crack in the wall of mutual recognition and mutual trust. However, the Court shows a clear favor integrationis: these principles can be limited only in exceptional circumstances, where it is necessary to provide a cure for severe pathologies affecting the foreign decision.
Testing approximate normality of an estimator using the estimated MSE and bias with an application to the shape parameter of the generalized Pareto distribution

description: Often it is not easy to choose between estimators, based on the estimated MSE and bias using simulation studies. Normality in small samples and a variance of the estimator, which is correct and easy to calculate using a single sample, give the added advantage that hypotheses concerning the parameter can be tested in new samples. A procedure to check normality is proposed where previously published MSE and bias are used to perform a test for normality. A confidence interval for the index of the S&P500 index is found by applying the results to estimators of the generalized Pareto distribution.

description: We examine the evaluation of entanglement measures in weakly correlated gaussian states. It is shown that they can be expressed in terms of the singular values of a particular block of the generalized contraction matrix. This result enables to obtain in a simple way asymptotic expressions and related area laws for the entanglement entropy of bipartitions in pure states, as well as for the logarithmic negativity associated with bipartitions and also pairs of arbitrary subsystems. As illustration, we consider different types of contiguous and noncontiguous blocks in two dimensional lattices. Exact asymptotic expressions are provided for both first neighbor and full range couplings, which lead in the first case to area laws depending on the orientation and separation of the blocks.

description: We study correlations in temporal networks and introduce the notion of betweenness preference. It allows to quantify to what extent paths, existing in time-aggregated representations of temporal networks, are actually realizable based on the sequence of interactions. We show that betweenness preference is present in empirical temporal network data and that it influences the length of shortest time-respecting paths. Using four different data sets, we further argue that neglecting betweenness preference leads to wrong conclusions about dynamical processes on temporal networks.

description: In this paper we describe an innovative type of Time Projection Chamber (TPC), which uses high-pressure xenon gas (HPXe) and electroluminescence amplification of the ionization charge as the basis of an apparatus capable of fully reconstructing the energy and topological signature of rare events. We will discuss a specific design of such HPXe TPC, the NEXT-100 detector, that will search for neutrinoless double beta decay events using 100-150 kg of xenon enriched in the isotope Xe-136. NEXT-100 is currently under construction, after completion of an accelerated and very successful R&D period. It will be installed at the Laboratorio Subterráneo de Canfranc (LSC), in Spain. The commissioning run is expected for late 2013 or early 2014. We will also present physics arguments that suggest that the HPXe technology can be extrapolated to the next-to-next generation (e.g, a fiducial mass of 1 ton of target), which will fully explore the Majorana nature of the neutrino if the mass hierarchy is inverse.

description: Building on previous work, a new search of the SuperWASP archive was carried out to identify eclipsing binary systems near the short-period limit. 143 candidate objects were detected with orbital periods between 16000 and 20000 s, of which 97 are new discoveries. Period changes significant at 1 sigma or more were detected in 74 of these objects, and in 38 the changes were significant at 3 sigma or more. The significant period changes observed followed an approximately normal distribution with a half-width at half-maximum of ~0.1 s/yr. There was no apparent relationship between period length and magnitude or direction of period change. Amongst several interesting individual objects studied, 1SWASP J093010.78+533859.5 is presented as a new doubly eclipsing quadruple system, consisting of a contact binary with a 19674.575 s period and an Algol-type binary with a 112799.109 s period, separated by 66.1 AU, being the sixth known system of this type.

description: Context. Limb darkening is an important tool for understanding stellar atmospheres, but most observations measuring limb darkening assume various parameterizations that yield no significant information about the structure of stellar atmospheres. Aims. We use a specific limb-darkening relation to study how the best-fit coefficients relate to fundamental stellar parameters from spherically symmetric model stellar atmospheres. Methods. Using a grid of spherically symmetric Atlas model atmospheres, we compute limb-darkening coefficients, and develop a novel method to predict fundamental stellar parameters. Results. We find our proposed method predicts the mass of stellar atmosphere models given only the radius and limb-darkening coefficients, suggesting that microlensing, interferometric, transit and eclipse observations can constrain stellar masses. Conclusions. This novel method demonstrates that limb-darkening parameterizations contain important information about the structure of stellar atmospheres, with the potential to be a valuable tool for measuring stellar masses.

description: Mass spectrometry (MS) is a powerful tool for the molecular-level characterization of complex mixtures. It is susceptible, selective, versatile, and fast. MS provides molecular weight information for the ionized analytes based on their mass-to-charge (m/z) ratios. Elemental compositions of the ionized analytes can be provided by MS operated at high resolution. In addition, MS provides invaluable information through tandem mass spectrometric approaches. Tandem mass spectrometry (MSn, n ≥ 2, where n is the number of ion-separation steps) utilizing collision-activated dissociation (CAD) has proven especially effective for elucidating the structures of individual compounds in complex mixtures. MS can be coupled with various external desorption/ionization methods. Laser-induced acoustic desorption (LIAD) is a technique that enables the evaporation of nonvolatile and thermally labile compounds into a mass spectrometer from the surface of the metal foil. LIAD is a soft evaporation technique that is a great companion for MS because it causes minimal fragmentation to the desorbed neutral molecules. LIAD can also be coupled with instruments other than mass spectrometers, such as molecular rotational resonance (MRR) spectrophotometer as a versatile evaporation technique.This dissertation focuses on research using high-resolution tandem mass spectrometric methods for the structural characterization of isomeric cations of asphaltene model compounds. The fragmentation behaviors of seven isomeric n-pentylquinoline radical cations are studied. Mechanisms for the formation of several fragment ions are also discussed based on quantum chemical calculations. Additionally, a novel suspension spin coating method is reported to improve LIAD performance. Further discussed in the dissertation is the endeavor of expanding the field of LIAD applications to MRR spectroscopy.

description: Pomegranate peel (PP) and coffee pulp (CP) are by-products of the food industry that can cause environmental pollution if not handled adequately. These by-products contain a significant amount of polyphenolic compounds which have antioxidant and possibly anticancer properties. We investigated the antiproliferative and cytotoxic activities of polyphenols from PP, CP and a 50–50% mixture of both against HeLa, A549, MDA-MB and Hek-293 cells. The total phenolic content of the PP and CP extracts was determined by high performance liquid chromatography/electrospray ionisation/mass spectrometry, and the antiproliferative and cytotoxic potentials were evaluated by MTT (3- (4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazolium bromide) and Lactate Dehydogenase assays, respectively. Results showed antiproliferative and cytotoxic effects of polyphenols from PP and CP when administered at different concentrations or mixtures on HeLa, A549 and MDA-MB cells. No significant antiproliferative effects were observed on Hek-293 cells treated under similar conditions. These results suggest the potential of PP and CP polyphenols, individually or in combination, to modulate biological mechanisms involved in cervical, breast and lung cancer.

Random forests (RF) are popular for estimating nonlinear functions but applications of RF for spatial data have often ignored the spatial correlation. We show that this impacts the performance of RF adversely. We propose RF-GLS, a novel and well-principled extension of RF, for estimating nonlinear covariate effects in spatial mixed models where the spatial correlation is modeled using GP. RF-GLS extends RF in the same way generalized least squares (GLS) fundamentally extends ordinary least squares (OLS) to accommodate for dependence in linear models. RF becomes a special case of RF-GLS, and is substantially outperformed by RF-GLS for both estimation and prediction across extensive numerical experiments with spatially correlated data. RF-GLS can be used for functional estimation in other types of dependent data like time series. We prove consistency of RF-GLS for β-mixing dependent error processes that include the popular spatial Matérn GP. As a byproduct, we also establish, to our knowledge, the first consistency result for RF under dependence. We establish results of independent importance, including a general consistency result of GLS optimizers of data-driven function classes, and a uniform law of large number under β-mixing dependence with weaker assumptions. These new tools can be potentially useful for asymptotic analysis of other GLS-style estimators in nonparametric regression with dependent data.

description: We consider the issues that arise out of interpreting the ghost-free bimetric theory as a theory of a spin-2 field coupled to gravity. This requires identifying a gravitational metric and parameterizing deviations of the resulting theory from general relativity. To this end, we first consider the most general bimetric backgrounds for which a massless and a massive spin-2 fluctuation with Fierz-Pauli mass exist. These backgrounds coincide with solutions in general relativity. Based on this, we obtain nonlinear extensions of the massive and massless spin-2 fields. The background value of the nonlinear massive field parameterizes generic deviations of the bimetric theory from GR. It is also shown that the nonlinear massless field does not have standard ghost-free matter couplings, and hence cannot represent the gravitational metric. However, an appropriate gravitational metric can still be identified in the weak gravity limit. Hence in the presence of other neutral spin-2 fields, the weak gravity limit is crucial for compatibility with general relativity. We also write down the action in terms of the nonlinear massive spin-2 field and obtain its ghost-free couplings to matter. The discussion is then generalized to multimetric theories.

description: In the present investigation we show that there exists a close analogy of geometry of spacetime in GR with a structure of defects in a crystal. We present the relation between the Kleinert's model of a crystal with defects and Plebanski's theory of gravity. We have considered the translational defects - dislocations, and the rotational defects - disclinations - in the 3- and 4-dimensional crystals. The 4-dimensional crystalline defects present the Riemann-Cartan spacetime which has an additional geometric property - "torsion" - connected with dislocations. The world crystal is a model for the gravitation which has a new type of gauge symmetry: the Einstein's gravitation has a zero torsion as a special gauge, while a zero connection is another equivalent gauge with nonzero torsion which corresponds to the Einstein's theory of "teleparallelism". Any intermediate choice of the gauge with nonzero connection A^{IJ}_μis also allowed. In the present investigation we show that in the Plebanski formulation the phase of gravity with torsion is equivalent to the ordinary or topological gravity, and we can exclude a torsion as a separate dynamical variable.

Analysis of Boundary Slip in a Flow with an Oscillating Wall

Year: 2012
Subjects: subject: Fluid Dynamics (physics.flu-dyn)

description: Molecular dynamic (MD) simulation is used to study slip at the fluid-solid boundary in an unsteady flow based on the Stokes second problem. An increase in slip is observed in comparison to the steady flow for shear rates below the critical shear rate of the corresponding steady flow. This increased slip is attributed to fluid inertial forces not represented in a steady flow. An unsteady mathematical model for slip is established, which estimates the increment in slip at the boundary. The model shows that slip is also dependent on acceleration in addition to the shear rate of fluid at the wall. By writing acceleration in terms of shear rate, it is shown that slip at the wall in unsteady flows is governed by the gradient of shear rate and shear rate of the fluid. Non-dimensionalizing the model gives a universal curve which can be used to find the slip boundary condition at the fluid-solid interface based on the information of shear rate and gradient of shear rate of the fluid. A governing non-dimensional number, defined as the ratio of phase speed to speed of sound, is identified to help in explaining the mechanism responsible for the transition of slip boundary condition from finite to a perfect slip and determining when this would occur. Phase lag in fluid velocity relative to wall is observed. The lag increases with decreasing time period of wall oscillation and increasing wall hydrophobicity. The phenomenon of hysteresis is seen when looking into the variation of slip velocity as a function of wall velocity and slip velocity as a function of fluid shear rate. The cause for hysteresis is attributed to the unsteady inertial forces of the fluid.

Quantifying Causal Coupling Strength: A Lag-specific Measure For Multivariate Time Series Related To Transfer Entropy

description: While it is an important problem to identify the existence of causal associations between two components of a multivariate time series, a topic addressed in Runge et al. (2012), it is even more important to assess the strength of their association in a meaningful way. In the present article we focus on the problem of defining a meaningful coupling strength using information theoretic measures and demonstrate the short-comings of the well-known mutual information and transfer entropy. Instead, we propose a certain time-delayed conditional mutual information, the momentary information transfer (MIT), as a measure of association that is general, causal and lag-specific, reflects a well interpretable notion of coupling strength and is practically computable. MIT is based on the fundamental concept of source entropy, which we utilize to yield a notion of coupling strength that is, compared to mutual information and transfer entropy, well interpretable, in that for many cases it solely depends on the interaction of the two components at a certain lag. In particular, MIT is thus in many cases able to exclude the misleading influence of autodependency within a process in an information-theoretic way. We formalize and prove this idea analytically and numerically for a general class of nonlinear stochastic processes and illustrate the potential of MIT on climatological data.
