description: We explore the physics of a spin-1/2 Heisenberg chain with Kondo interaction, $J_k$, to a two-dimensional electron gas. At weak $J_k$ the problem maps onto a Heisenberg chain locally coupled to a dissipative Ohmic bath. At the decoupled fixed point, the dissipation is a marginally relevant perturbation and drives long-range antiferromagnetic order along the chain. In the dynamical spin structure factor we observe a quadratic low-energy dispersion akin to Landau-damped Goldstone modes. At large $J_k$ Kondo screening dominates, and the spin correlations of the chain inherit the power law of the host metal, akin to a paramagnetic heavy Fermi liquid. In both phases we observe heavy bands near the Fermi energy in the composite-fermion spectral function. Our results, obtained from auxiliary-field quantum Monte Carlo simulations, provide a unique negative-sign-free realization of a quantum transition between an antiferromagnetic metal and a heavy-fermion metal. We discuss the relevance of our results in the context of scanning tunneling spectroscopy experiments of magnetic adatom chains on metallic surfaces.

description: To assess the long-term safety of tezepelumab in Japanese patients with severe uncontrolled asthma. This phase III, 52-week, open-label, single-arm study (NOZOMI, NCT04048343) evaluated the safety/tolerability of subcutaneous (SC) tezepelumab 210 mg every 4 weeks (Q4W) in Japanese patients aged 12–80 years with severe uncontrolled asthma using medium- to high-dose inhaled corticosteroids and at least one additional asthma controller medication, with/without oral corticosteroids. Exploratory outcomes included efficacy (asthma exacerbations, lung function, and asthma control), pharmacokinetic parameters, and immunogenicity. Among 65 patients (median age 52 years), 39 (60%) experienced 94 adverse events (AEs; predominantly nasopharyngitis [13/65]) of mild (49.2%), moderate (7.7%), or severe (3.1%) intensity. Two patients had transient injection site erythema related to tezepelumab. Four patients reported serious AEs unrelated to tezepelumab and one AE led to treatment discontinuation. AEs of special interest were infrequent and generally mild/moderate. Apart from a decrease in blood eosinophils (an expected pharmacodynamic effect), no notable trends/clinically relevant changes in hematology, clinical chemistry, or urinalysis parameters were observed. Among exploratory outcomes, tezepelumab was associated with a low annualized asthma exacerbation rate over the study period (0.11/patient-year), improved lung function (mean [standard deviation] change from baseline of 0.075 [0.226] L in pre-dose/pre-bronchodilator forced expiratory volume in 1 s), and better asthma control versus baseline (responder rate: 71.4% at Week 52). Tezepelumab 210 mg SC Q4W in Japanese patients with severe uncontrolled asthma showed safety/tolerability profiles similar to international data, with low exacerbation rates and improvements in lung function and asthma control.

description: We propose a novel method to test the gravitational interactions in the outskirts of galaxy clusters. When gravity is modified, this is typically accompanied by the introduction of an additional scalar degree of freedom, which mediates an attractive fifth force. The presence of an extra gravitational coupling, however, is tightly constrained by local measurements. In chameleon modifications of gravity, local tests can be evaded by employing a screening mechanism that suppresses the fifth force in dense environments. While the chameleon field may be screened in the interior of the cluster, its outer region can still be affected by the extra force, introducing a deviation between the hydrostatic and lensing mass of the cluster. Thus, the chameleon modification can be tested by combining the gas and lensing measurements of the cluster. We demonstrate the operability of our method with the Coma cluster, for which both a lensing measurement and gas observations from the X-ray surface brightness, the X-ray temperature, and the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect are available. Using the joint observational data set, we perform a Markov chain Monte Carlo analysis of the parameter space describing the different profiles in both the Newtonian and chameleon scenarios. We report competitive constraints on the chameleon field amplitude and its coupling strength to matter. In the case of f(R) gravity, corresponding to a specific choice of the coupling, we find an upper bound on the background field amplitude of |f_{R0}|<6*10^{-5}, which is currently the tightest constraint on cosmological scales.

description: The Pauli exclusion principle in quantum mechanics has a profound influence on the structure of matter and on interactions between fermions. Almost 30 years ago it was predicted that the Pauli exclusion principle could lead to a suppression of spontaneous emission, and only recently several experiments confirmed this phenomenon. Here we report that this so-called Pauli blockade not only affects incoherent processes but also, more generally, coherently driven systems. It manifests itself as an intriguing sub-Doppler narrowing of a doubly-forbidden transition profile in an optically trapped Fermi gas of $^3\mathrm{He}$. By actively pumping atoms out of the excited state, we break the coherence of the excitation and lift the narrowing effect, confirming the influence of Pauli blockade on the transition profile. This new insight into the interplay between quantum statistics and coherent driving is a promising development for future applications involving fermionic systems.

description: Alignment-free sequence analysis approaches provide important alternatives over multiple sequence alignment (MSA) in biological sequence analysis because alignment-free approaches have low computation complexity and are not dependent on high level of sequence identity, however, most of the existing alignment-free methods do not employ true full information content of sequences and thus can not accurately reveal similarities and differences among DNA sequences. We present a novel alignment-free computational method for sequence analysis based on Ramanujan-Fourier transform (RFT), in which complete information of DNA sequences is retained. We represent DNA sequences as four binary indicator sequences and apply RFT on the indicator sequences to convert them into frequency domain. The Euclidean distance of the complete RFT coefficients of DNA sequences are used as similarity measure. To address the different lengths in Euclidean space of RFT coefficients, we pad zeros to short DNA binary sequences so that the binary sequences equal the longest length in the comparison sequence data. Thus, the DNA sequences are compared in the same dimensional frequency space without information loss. We demonstrate the usefulness of the proposed method by presenting experimental results on hierarchical clustering of genes and genomes. The proposed method opens a new channel to biological sequence analysis, classification, and structural module identification.

Reduced-density-matrix-based ab initio cavity quantum electrodynamics

Year: 2022

description: A reduced-density-matrix (RDM)-based approach to {\em ab initio} cavity quantum electrodynamics (QED) is developed. The expectation value of the Pauli-Fierz Hamiltonian is expressed in terms of one- and two-body electronic and photonic RDMs, and the elements of these RDMs are optimized directly in polynomial time by semidefinite programming techniques, without knowledge of the full wave function. QED generalizations of important ensemble $N$-representability conditions are derived and enforced in this procedure. The resulting approach is applied to the description of classic ground-state strong electron correlation problems, augmented by the presence of ultrastrong light-matter coupling. First, we assess cavity-induced changes to the singlet-triplet energy gap of the linear oligoacene series; for a heptacene molecule, this gap can change by as much as 1.9 kcal mol$^{-1}$ (or 15\%) when the molecule is aligned along the cavity mode polarization axis. We also explore the metal-insulator transition in linear hydrogen chains and demonstrate that strong electron-photon interactions increase the insulating character of these systems under all coupling strengths considered.

description: To identify features related to management of patients prior to referral from primary care physicians (PCPs) to pulmonologists and allergists. This is an analysis of patient claims data from Symphony Health (2013–2018). To characterize referrals, a longitudinal cohort included 12 months with no asthma claims prior to the index date, followed by 36 months of observation. We also assessed a cross-sectional cohort for 12 months at the end of the observational period to characterize disease control and treatment patterns. Referral was defined as the first appearance of a claim from an allergist or pulmonologist for a patient’s initial visit for asthma. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the data. The majority of patients with asthma were managed by PCPs (60%), followed by pulmonologists (16%) and allergists (8%). Forty-three percent had uncontrolled asthma. Only 8% were referred to specialists within the first 24 months after initial diagnosis, of which 76% were seen by pulmonologists and 24% by allergists. Referrals resulted in treatment change in 55%–68% of the cases. Patients who received a referral were more likely to be on oral corticosteroids (OCS) and/or have more hospitalizations/ED visits. About one-third of the patients managed by PCPs received intermittent and/or chronic OCS prior to referral, which may be an indication of uncontrolled disease. The referral patterns in this analysis illustrate underutilization of specialists in the consultation and management of patients with uncontrolled asthma.

description: We perform a systematic study of commutative $SO(p)$ invariant matrix models with quadratic and quartic potentials in the large $N$ limit. We find that the physics of these systems depends crucially on the number of matrices with a critical rôle played by $p=4$. For $p\leq4$ the system undergoes a phase transition accompanied by a topology change transition. For $p> 4$ the system is always in the topologically non-trivial phase and the eigenvalue distribution is a Dirac delta function spherical shell. We verify our analytic work with Monte Carlo simulations.

description: The normalised differential top quark-antiquark production cross section is measured as a function of the jet multiplicity in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV at the LHC with the CMS detector. The measurement is performed in both the dilepton and lepton + jets decay channels using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5.0 inverse femtobarns. Using a procedure to associate jets to decay products of the top quarks, the differential cross section of the t t-bar production is determined as a function of the additional jet multiplicity in the lepton + jets channel. Furthermore, the fraction of events with no additional jets is measured in the dilepton channel, as a function of the threshold on the jet transverse momentum. The measurements are compared with predictions from perturbative quantum chromodynamics and no significant deviations are observed.

description: The Luttinger's theorem has long been taken as the key feature of Landau's Fermi liquid, which signals the presence of quasiparticles. Here, by the unbiased Monte Carlo method, violation of Luttinger's theorem is clearly revealed in the Falicov-Kimball (FK) model, indicating the robust correlation-driven non-Fermi liquid characteristic under any electron density. Introducing hole carriers to the half-filled FK leads to Mott insulator-metal transition, where the Mott quantum criticality manifests unconventional scaling behavior in transport properties. Further insight on the violation of the Luttinger's theorem is examined by combining Hubbard-I approximation with a composite fermion picture, which emphasizes the importance of a mixed excitation of the itinerant electron and the composite fermion. Interestingly, when compared FK model with a binary disorder system, it suggests that the two-peak band structure discovered by Monte Carlo and Hubbard-I approaches is underlying the violation of Luttinger's theorem.

Wigner localization in a graphene quantum dot with a mass gap

description: In spite of unscreened Coulomb interactions close to charge neutrality, relativistic massless electrons in graphene allegedly behave as noninteracting particles. A clue to this paradox is that both interaction and kinetic energies scale with particle density in the same way. In contrast, in a dilute gas of nonrelativistic electrons the different scaling drives the transition to Wigner crystal. Here we show that Dirac electrons in a graphene quantum dot with a mass gap localize à la Wigner for realistic values of device parameters. Our theoretical evidence relies on many-body observables obtained through the exact diagonalization of the interacting Hamiltonian, which allows us to take all electron correlations into account. We predict that the experimental signatures of Wigner localization are the suppression of the fourfold periodicity of the filling sequence and the quenching of excitation energies, which may be both accessed through Coulomb blockade spectroscopy. Our findings are relevant to other carbon-based nanostructures exhibiting a mass gap.

description: Flavor-changing neutral current (FCNC) top-quark decays are highly suppressed due to the Glashow-Iliopoulos-Maiani mechanism in the standard model (SM). If $t\to q h, qV$ with $V=g,γ, Z$ are all induced via quantum loop levels, then we investigate the effect that can enhance the top-FCNC up to the sensitivity designed at the high-luminosity (HL) LHC. Inspired by the mechanism of the scotogenic neutrino mass, we extend the SM by including $Z_2$-odd colored fermions when a $Z_2$ discrete is imposed. The results show that by taking $BR(t\to u g) \lesssim 0.61 \times 10^{-4}$ recently measured by ATLAS as an input, $t\to q γ$ can be indirectly bounded to be $BR(t\to q γ)\lesssim 3.2 \times 10^{-6}$, which is below the expected sensitivity at the HL LHC. After taking potential constraints from various experiments into account, the obtained branching ratios for the loop-induced $t\to q h$ and $t\to qZ$ decays can be $O(10^{-4})$, which falls within the sensitivity at the HL LHC.

Effect of Specific Chemical Reactions on the Transformation and the Transport of Chromium in the Soil-Water System and in Concrete Walls : Part I
Creators: name: No Name Supplied
Publisher: name: Department of Civil Engineering, University of Delaware
Year: 1994

description: This document contains the cover through Chapter 4 of a report from the second year of a study of chromium leaching behavior from chromium contaminated soil (Cr-soil) in Hudson County, New Jersey. Chromium is the most commonly found toxic heavy metal contaminant in New Jersey soils, and poses a considerable environmental hazard. Remediation of contaminated sites is necessary to reduce the public health hazard, and therefore it is essential to understand the chemical and physical interaction of chromium with soils. The study examines leaching behavior of chromium in chromium-contaminated soil (Cr-soil) derived from chromium ore processing residue (COPR) and the transport of chromium in concrete material in Liberty State Park. The report discusses the physico-chemical properties of Cr-soil, and the results of various leaching experiments concerning pH of the leaching solution and the organic matter content of the Cr-soil. pH is identified as the crucial parameter affecting the concentration and speciation of chromium in the chromium-concrete interface via processes of adsorption, redox and precipitation reactions.

description: The first measurement of the helicity dependence of the photoproduction cross section of single neutral pions off protons is reported for photon energies from 600 to 2300\,MeV, covering nearly the full solid angle. The data are compared to predictions from the SAID, MAID, and BnGa partial wave analyses. Strikingly large differences between data and predictions are observed which are traced to differences in the helicity amplitudes of well known and established resonances. Precise values for the helicity amplitudes of several resonances are reported.

description: We propose an interferometry within the framework of quantum Kibble-Zurek mechanism by exemplifying two prototypical quench protocols, namely the round-trip and quarter-turn ones, on the transverse Ising and quantum $XY$ chains. Each protocol contains two linear ramps that drive the system across quantum critical point twice. The two linear ramps arouse two respective nonadiabatic critical dynamics that are well described by the quantum Kibble-Zurek mechanism. However, in combination, the two critical dynamics can interfere with each other deeply. As an effect of the interference, the dynamical phase is exposed in the final excitation probability, which leads to a quantum coherent many-body oscillation in the density of defects with predictable characteristic period. Thus such an interference is available for direct experimental observations. In the quantum $XY$ model, we show that an interference can also arise from the interplay between two different critical dynamics derived from a critical point and a tricritical point. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the interference influences the dephasing of the excited quasiparticle modes intricately by disclosing a phenomenon of multiple length scales, diagonal and off-diagonal ones, in the defect-defect correlators. It turns out that the dephased result relies on how the diagonal and off-diagonal lengths are modulated by the controllable parameter in a quench protocol.

description: Food is an essential human need underpinning health and wellbeing, while also having the potential to support environmental sustainability. In the past several decades, an emphasis on maximising yield though improved production practices has enhanced human lives in several respects, including by reducing hunger, infant and child mortality and poverty, and raising life expectancy [1,2]. Despite these advances, a downside of these practices is a shift to diets that are calorie-dense, processed and utilise animal products [3,4]. Food production is also a major contributor to environmental degradation [5,6]. Thus, food needs to be produced in a way that is not only healthy and nutritious but also environmentally sustainable. For example, during the period 2007–2016, total net greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture, forestry and other land use accounted for 23% of total net anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions [7]. Land management and land use change also contributes to biodiversity loss [8], freshwater use [2] and soil degradation [9], which all affect land productivity and food security

description: We report on a search for dark matter axion-like particles (ALPs) using a Ramsey-type apparatus for cold neutrons. A hypothetical ALP-gluon-coupling would manifest in a neutron electric dipole moment signal oscillating in time. Twenty-four hours of data have been analyzed in a frequency range from 23 $μ$Hz to 1 kHz, and no significant oscillating signal has been found. The usage of present dark-matter models allows to constrain the coupling of ALPs to gluons in the mass range from $10^{-19}$ to $4 \times 10^{-12}$ eV. The best limit of $C_G$/$f_a m_a = 2.7 \times 10^{13}$ GeV$^{-2}$ (95% C.L.) is reached in the mass range from $2 \times 10^{-17}$ to $2 \times 10^{-14}$ eV.

description: We present a reduced-order surrogate model of gravitational waveforms from non-spinning binary black hole systems with comparable to large mass-ratio configurations. This surrogate model, \texttt{BHPTNRSur1dq1e4}, is trained on waveform data generated by point-particle black hole perturbation theory (ppBHPT) with mass ratios varying from 2.5 to 10,000. \texttt{BHPTNRSur1dq1e4} extends an earlier waveform model, \texttt{EMRISur1dq1e4}, by using an updated transition-to-plunge model, covering longer durations up to 30,500 $m_1$ (where $m_1$ is the mass of the primary black hole), includes several more spherical harmonic modes up to $\ell=10$, and calibrates subdominant modes to numerical relativity (NR) data. In the comparable mass-ratio regime, including mass ratios as low as $2.5$, the gravitational waveforms generated through ppBHPT agree surprisingly well with those from NR after this simple calibration step. We also compare our model to recent SXS and RIT NR simulations at mass ratios ranging from $15$ to $32$, and find the dominant quadrupolar modes agree to better than $\approx 10^{-3}$. We expect our model to be useful to study intermediate-mass-ratio binary systems in current and future gravitational-wave detectors.

description: This report is an economic and environmental impact analysis that discusses various options related to the operation of the proposed Raritan Confluence Reservoir to provide additional water supply in the Round Valley Reservoir-Raritan River water resources system. The report argues that it is prudent to build the proposed facility since only a modest increase in energy costs is needed in relation to other inflationary costs to make the build option economically feasible. There are four construction options considered; three of these options (#2-4) are NJIT proposals to widen the existing North and South Branches of the Raritan River to a 300-foot wide main channel within the confines of the reservoir. This would provide more positive conveyance during reservoir drawdown, additional area for storage of sediment deposits, and a greater percentage of deeper areas within the reservoir area. The report ultimately recommends option #4, as this can be constructed and operated with a minimal impact on the environment. In essence, the benefits of the proposal outweigh the impacts that would be generated.

description: We propose a positivity preserving entropy decreasing finite volume scheme for nonlinear nonlocal equations with a gradient flow structure. These properties allow for accurate computations of stationary states and long-time asymptotics demonstrated by suitably chosen test cases in which these features of the scheme are essential. The proposed scheme is able to cope with non-smooth stationary states, different time scales including metastability, as well as concentrations and self-similar behavior induced by singular nonlocal kernels. We use the scheme to explore properties of these equations beyond their present theoretical knowledge.
Search for anomalous production of events with three or more leptons in pp collisions at sqrt(s) = 8 TeV

description: A search for physics beyond the standard model in events with at least three leptons is presented. The data sample, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.5 inverse femtobarns of proton-proton collisions with center-of-mass energy sqrt(s) = 8 TeV, was collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC during 2012. The data are divided into exclusive categories based on the number of leptons and their flavor, the presence or absence of an opposite-sign, same-flavor lepton pair (OSSF), the invariant mass of the OSSF pair, the presence or absence of a tagged bottom-quark jet, the number of identified hadronically decaying tau leptons, and the magnitude of the missing transverse energy and of the scalar sum of jet transverse momenta. The numbers of observed events are found to be consistent with the expected numbers from standard model processes, and limits are placed on new-physics scenarios that yield multilepton final states. In particular, scenarios that predict Higgs boson production in the context of supersymmetric decay chains are examined. We also place a 95% confidence level upper limit of 1.3% on the branching fraction for the decay of a top quark to a charm quark and a Higgs boson (t to c H), which translates to a bound on the left- and right-handed top-charm flavor-violating Higgs Yukawa couplings, lambda[H, tc] and lambda[H, ct], respectively, of sqrt(abs(lambda[H, tc])^2 + abs(lambda[H, ct])^2) < 0.21.

description: On a smooth compact connected $d$-dimensional Riemannian manifold $M$, if $0 < s < d$ then an asymptotically equidistributed sequence of finite subsets of $M$ that is also well-separated yields a sequence of Riesz $s$-energies that converges to the energy double integral, with a rate of convergence depending on the geodesic ball discrepancy. This generalizes a known result for the sphere.

description: The phase space representation for a semiconfined harmonic oscillator model with a position-dependent effective mass is constructed. We have found the Husimi distribution function for the stationary states of the oscillator model under consideration for both cases without and with the applied external homogeneous field. The obtained function is expressed through the double sum of the parabolic cylinder function. Different special cases and the limit relations are discussed, too.

description: We study dynamical condensation process in a holographic superconductor model with anisotropy. The time-dependent numerical solution is constructed for the Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton theory with complex scalar in asymptotic AdS spacetime. The introduction of dilaton field generates the anisotropy in boundary spatial directions. In analogy of isotropic case, we have two black hole solutions below certain critical temperature $T_c$, the anisotropic charged black hole with and without scalar hair, corresponding respectively to the supercooled normal phase and superconducting phase in the boundary theory. We observe a nonlinear evolution from a supercooled anisotropic black hole without scalar hair to a anisotropic hairy black hole. Via AdS/CFT correspondence, we extract time evolution of the condensate operator, which shows an exponential growth and subsequent saturation, similar to the isotropic case. Furthermore, we obtain a nontrivial time evolution of the boundary pressure, while in isotropic case it remains a constant. We also generalize quasinormal modes calculation to anisotropic black holes and shows scalar quasinormal modes match with relaxation time scale of the condensate operator. In addition, we present the final temperature and anisotropic pressure as functions of initial temperature and background anisotropy.

General Perturbations of Homogeneous and Orthogonal Locally Rotationally Symmetric Class II Cosmologies with Applications to Dissipative Fluids

description: First order perturbations of homogeneous and hypersurface orthogonal LRS (Locally Rotationally Symmetric) class II cosmologies with a cosmological constant are considered in the framework of the 1+1+2 covariant decomposition of spacetime. The perturbations, which are for a general energy-momentum tensor, include scalar, vector and tensor modes and extend some previous works where matter was assumed to be a perfect fluid. Through a harmonic decomposition, the system of equations is then transformed to evolution equations in time and algebraic constraints. This result is then applied to dissipative one-component fluids, and on using the simplified acausal Eckart theory the system is reduced to two closed subsystems governed by four and eight harmonic coefficients for the odd and even sectors respectively. The system is also seen to close in a simplified causal theory. It is then demonstrated, within the Eckart theory, how vorticity can be generated from viscosity.

description: The magnification effect of gravitational lensing is a powerful probe of the distribution of matter in the universe, yet it is frequently overlooked due to the fact that its signal to noise is smaller than that of lensing shear. Because its systematic errors are quite different from those of shear, magnification is nevertheless an important approach with which to study the distribution of large scale structure. We present lensing mass profiles of spectroscopic luminous red galaxies (LRGs) and galaxy clusters determined through measurements of the weak lensing magnification of photometric LRGs in their background. We measure the change in detected galaxy counts as well as the increased average galaxy flux behind the lenses. In addition, we examine the average change in source color due to extinction by dust in the lenses. By simultaneously fitting these three probes we constrain the mass profiles and dust-to-mass ratios of the lenses in six bins of lens richness. For each richness bin we fit an NFW halo mass, brightest cluster galaxy (BCG) mass, second halo term, and dust-to-mass ratio. The resulting mass-richness relation is consistent with previous analyses of the catalogs, and limits on the dust-to-mass ratio in the lenses are in agreement with expectations. We explore the effects of including the (low signal-to-noise) flux magnification and reddening measurements in the analysis compared to using only the counts magnification data; the additional probes significantly improve the agreement between our measured mass-richness relation and previous results.
