The significance of measuring cosmological time dilation in the Dark Energy Survey Supernova Program
Creators: name: Lee, Seokcheon
Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: General Physics (physics.gen-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In the context of the dispersion relation $c = λν$ and considering an expanding universe where the observed wavelength today is redshifted from the emitted wavelength by $λ_{0} = λ_{\text{emit}} (1+z)$, to keep $c$ constant, it must be that $ν_{0} = ν_{\text{emit}} /(1+z)$. However, although the theory for wavelength in the RW metric includes the cosmological redshift, the same is not simply deduced for frequency (the inverse of time). Instead, cosmological time dilation $T_{0} = T_{\text{emit}} (1+z)$ is an additional assumption made to uphold the hypothesis of constant speed of light rather than a relation directly derived from the RW metric. Therefore, verifying cosmological time dilation observationally is crucial. The most recent data on supernovae for this purpose was released recently by the Dark Energy Survey. Results from the i-band specifically support variations in the speed of light within 1-$σ$. We used these observations to investigate variations in various physical quantities, including $c$ and $G$, using the minimally extended varying speed of light model. The speed of light was $0.4$\% to $2.2$\% slower, and Newton's constant may have decreased by $1.7$\% to $8.4$\% compared to their current values at redshift $2$. These findings, consistent with previous studies, hint at resolving tensions between different $Λ$CDM cosmological backgrounds but are not yet conclusive evidence of a varying speed of light, as the full-band data aligns with standard model cosmology. However, the data remains valuable for testing variations in fundamental constants over cosmic time. Future analyses, particularly with more refined redshift data, may provide clearer insights into these potential changes.

The possibility of thermal inactivation of Alicyclobacillus acidoterrestris spores in fruit and vegetable juices
Creators: name: Chmal-Fudali, Edyta

Publisher: name: Biotechnology and Food Science
Year: 2019

description: For a long period of time the thermal processing has been considered as the only way to reduce the initial spore number of Alicyclobacillus acidoterrestris and prevent the spoilage of beverage especially the acidic one. The effect of temperature on the inactivation of bacterial spores is well documented. However is still not yet fully explored the interactions between the components of the tested environment. Alicyclobacillus acidoterrestris spores being resistant to the pasteurization treatment conditions normally applied to acidic fruit products can germinate and grow causing spoilage. Visual detection of spoilage is very difficult because Alicyclobacillus acidoterrestris does not produce gas during growth and incipient swelling of containers does not occur. Knowledge of the survival curves of Alicyclobacillus acidoterrestris spores suspended in natural and model environments is necessary to design pasteurization processes for high acidic fruit products. Therefore, this microorganism was suggested as the target to be used in the design of adequate pasteurization processes.

The Angular Bispectrum of The Cosmic Microwave Background

description: COBE has provided us with a whole-sky map of the CBR anisotropies. However, even if the noise level is negligible when the four year COBE data are available, the cosmic variance will prevent us from obtaining information about the Gaussian nature of the primordial fluctuations. This important issue is addressed here by studying the angular bispectrum of the cosmic microwave background anisotropies. A general form of the angular bispectrum is given and the cosmic variance of the angular bispectrum for Gaussian fluctuations is calculated. The advantage of using the angular bispectrum is that one can choose to use the multipole moments which minimize the cosmic variance term. The non-Gaussian signals in most physically motivated non-Gaussian models are small compared with cosmic variance. Unless the amplitudes are large, the non-Gaussian signals are only detectable in the COBE data in those models where the angular bispectrum is flat or increases with increasing multipole moment.

description: The response functions of a material characterize its behavior under external stimuli, such as electromagnetic radiation. Such responses may grow linearly with the amplitude of the incident radiation, as is the case of absorption, or may be nonlinear. The latter category includes a diverse set of phenomena such as second harmonic generation (SHG), shift current, sum frequency generation, and excited state absorption, among others. Despite decades of research into nonlinear response theory, and the occasional discovery of materials with large nonlinear responses, there has been no systematic investigation into the maximum amount of nonlinear optical response attainable in solid-state materials. In this work, we present an upper bound on the second-order response functions of materials, which controls the SHG and shift current responses. We show that this bound depends on the band gap, band width, and geometrical properties of the material in question. We find that Kuzyk's bound for the maximum SHG of isolated molecules can be exceeded by conjugation or condensation of molecules to form molecular solids, and that strongly coupled systems generally have larger responses than weakly coupled or isolated ones. As a proof of principle, we perform first-principles calculations of the response tensors of a wide variety of materials, finding that the materials in our database do not yet saturate the upper bound. This suggests that new large SHG and shift current materials will likely be discovered by future materials research guided by the factors mentioned in this work.

description: The Bernoulli-Gaussian (BG) model is practical to characterize impulsive noises that widely exist in various communication systems. To estimate the BG model parameters from noise measurements, a precise impulse detection is essential.

description: Purpose: With an ageing population, speech-language pathologists (SLPs) can expect to encounter legal and ethical challenges associated with palliative and end-of-life care more frequently. An awareness of the medico-legal and ethical framework for palliative dysphagia management will better equip SLPs to work effectively in this area. Method: This narrative review examines a range of legislation, legal, ethical and SLP literature that is currently available to orient SLPs to legal and ethical palliative dysphagia management in the Australian context. Result: Relevant legal and ethical considerations in palliative and end-of-life care are described. Conclusion: SLPs have a role in palliative dysphagia management, however, this can involve unique legal and ethical challenges. The legal position on provision and cessation of nutrition and hydration differs between Australian States and Territories. Decisions by the courts have established a body of relevant case law. This article introduces SLPs to some of the important considerations for legal and ethical palliative care, but is not intended to be directive. SLPs are encouraged to explore their local options for ethical and medico-legal guidance. It is hoped that increasing SLPs awareness of many of the concepts discussed in this article enhances the provision of high-quality patient-centred care.

description: The biaxial magnetic-field setup for angular magnetic measurements of thin film and spintronic devices is designed and presented. The setup allows for application of the in-plane magnetic field using a quadrupole electromagnet, controlled by power supply units and integrated with an electromagnet biaxial magnetic field sensor. In addition, the probe station is equipped with a microwave circuitry, which enables angle-resolved spin torque oscillation measurements. The angular dependencies of magnetoresistance and spin diode effect in a giant magnetoresistance strip are shown as an operational verification of the experimental setup. We adapted an analytical macrospin model to reproduce both the resistance and spin-diode angular dependency measurements.

The calculations are performed both in the constant and running coupling cases. It is shown that the corrections are phenomenologically sizeable.

description: We evaluate the performance of the catalog-level blind analysis technique (blinding) presented in Brieden et al. (2020) in the context of a fixed template power spectrum and bispectrum analysis. This blinding scheme, which is tailored for galaxy redshift surveys similar to the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI), has two components: the so-called "AP blinding" (concerning the dilation parameters $α_\parallel,α_\bot$) and "RSD blinding'' (redshift space distortions, affecting the growth rate parameter $f$). Through extensive testing, including checks for the RSD part in cubic boxes, the impact of AP blinding on mocks with realistic survey sky coverage, and the implementation of a full AP+RSD blinding pipeline, our analysis demonstrates the effectiveness of the technique in preserving the integrity of cosmological parameter estimation when the analysis includes the bispectrum statistic. We emphasize the critical role of sophisticated -- and difficult to accidentally unblind -- blinding methods in precision cosmology.

These colorings can be described by a simple necklace insertion procedure, and also in terms of an Eden growth model on a tree. Using these descriptions we obtain simpler and more direct proofs of the characterizations of the 1- and 2-color marginals.

description: We show how to simulate the clustering of rich clusters of galaxies using a technique based on the Zel'dovich approximation. This method well reproduces the spatial distribution of clusters obtainable from full N-body simulations at a fraction of the computational cost. We use an ensemble of large--scale simulations to assess the level and statistical significance of cluster clustering in open, tilted and flat versions of the Cold Dark Matter (CDM) model, as well as a model comprising a mixture of Cold and Hot Dark Matter (CHDM). We find the open and flat CDM models are excluded by the data. The tilted CDM model with a slight tilt is in marginal agreement, while larger tilt produces the right amount of clustering; CHDM is the best of all our models at reproducing the observations of cluster clustering. We find that {\em all} our models display a systematically weaker relationship between clustering length and mean cluster separation than seems to be implied by observations. We also note that the cluster bias factor, is not constant in any of the models, showing that one needs to be very careful when relating cluster clustering statistics to primordial density fluctuations.

description: To estimate the time, many organisms, ranging from cyanobacteria to animals, employ a circadian clock which is based on a limit-cycle oscillator that can tick autonomously with a nearly 24h period. Yet, a limit-cycle oscillator is not essential for knowing the time, as exemplified by bacteria that possess an 'hourglass': a system that when forced by an oscillatory light input exhibits robust oscillations from which the organism can infer the time, but that in the absence of driving relaxes to a stable fixed point. Here, using models of the Kai system of cyanobacteria, we compare a limit- cycle oscillator with two hourglass models, one that without driving relaxes exponentially and one that does so in an oscillatory fashion. In the limit of low input-noise, all three systems are equally informative on time, yet in the regime of high input-noise the limit-cycle oscillator is far superior. The same behavior is found in the Stuart-Landau model, indicating that our result is universal.

Prospects of constraining on the polarizations of gravitational waves from binary black holes using space- and ground-based detectors

description: The theory of general relativity (GR) predicts the existence of gravitational waves (GWs) with two tensor modes, while alternative theories propose up to six polarization modes. In this study, we investigate constraints on GW polarization using a model-independent parametrized post-Einsteinian framework and consider both space- and ground-based detectors. By evaluating the capabilities and network performance of LISA, Taiji, TianQin, LIGO, Virgo, KAGRA, and the Einstein Telescope (ET), we analyze their respective contributions. Among space-based detectors, Taiji provides the most stringent constraints compared with LISA and TianQin.Regarding ground-based detectors, LIGO excels in vector modes while ET offers comprehensive constraints across all polarization modes. In network scenarios, LISA+TJm performs best, and ET surpasses second-generation detector combinations. Furthermore, multiband observations effectively mitigate scalar mode degeneracies thereby significantly enhancing the performance of ground-based detectors. Ultimately, combined space- and ground-based observations provide robust constraints on GW polarizations that advance tests for deviations from GR. Our findings underscore the potential of future GW missions in refining our understanding of gravitational physics through precise measurements of polarizations.

The Time Development of a Resonance Line in the Expanding Universe

Year: 1993
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: The time-dependent spectral profile of a resonance line in a homogeneous expanding medium is studied by numerically solving an improved Fokker-Planck diffusion equation. The solutions are used to determine the time required to reach a quasi-static solution near the line center. A simple scaling law for this relaxation time is derived and is fitted to the numerical results. The results are applied to the case of Lyman alpha scattering during primordial recombination of hydrogen. For a wide range of cosmological models it is found that the relaxation times are smaller than the recombination timescale, although not by a very large factor. Thus the standard assumption of a quasi-static solution in cosmological recombination calculations is reasonably valid, and should not cause substantial errors in the solutions.

description: Face deidentification is an active topic amongst privacy and security researchers. Early deidentification methods relying on image blurring or pixelization were replaced in recent years with techniques based on formal anonymity models that provide privacy guaranties and at the same time aim at retaining certain characteristics of the data even after deidentification. The latter aspect is particularly important, as it allows to exploit the deidentified data in applications for which identity information is irrelevant. In this work we present a novel face deidentification pipeline, which ensures anonymity by synthesizing artificial surrogate faces using generative neural networks (GNNs). The generated faces are used to deidentify subjects in images or video, while preserving non-identity-related aspects of the data and consequently enabling data utilization. Since generative networks are very adaptive and can utilize a diverse set of parameters (pertaining to the appearance of the generated output in terms of facial expressions, gender, race, etc.), they represent a natural choice for the problem of face deidentification. To demonstrate the feasibility of our approach, we perform experiments using automated recognition tools and human annotators. Our results show that the recognition performance on deidentified images is close to chance, suggesting that the deidentification process based on GNNs is highly effective.

description: The superconducting nanowire single photon detector (SNSPD) is a leading technology for quantum information science applications using photons, and they are finding increasing uses in photon-starved classical imaging applications. Critical detector characteristics, such as timing resolution (jitter), reset time and maximum count rate, are heavily influenced by the readout electronics that sense and amplify the photon detection signal. We describe a readout circuit for SNSPDs using commercial off-the-shelf amplifiers operating at cryogenic temperatures. Our design demonstrates a 35 ps timing resolution and a maximum count rate of over 2x10^7 counts per second while maintaining <3 mW power consumption per channel, making it suitable for a multichannel readout.

description: We show that the usual dilaton dominance scenario, derived from the tree level Kähler potential, can never correspond to a global minimum of the potential at $V=0$. Similarly, it cannot correspond to a local minimum either, unless a really big conspiracy of different contributions to the superpotential $W(S)$ takes place. These results, plus the fact that the Kähler potential is likely to receive sizeable string non-perturbative contributions, strongly suggest to consider a more general scenario, leaving the Kähler potential arbitrary. In this way we obtain generalized expressions for the soft breaking terms but a predictive scenario still arises. Finally, we explore the phenomenological capability of some theoretically motivated forms for non-perturbative Kähler potentials, showing that it is easy to stabilize the dilaton at the realistic value $S\sim 2$ with just one condensate and no fine-tuning.

Mellin Bootstrap for Scalars in Generic Dimension

description: We use the recently developed framework of the Mellin bootstrap to study perturbatively free scalar CFTs in arbitrary dimensions. This approach uses the crossing-symmetric Mellin space formulation of correlation functions to generate algebraic bootstrap equations by demanding that only physical operators contribute to the OPE. We find that there are no perturbatively interacting CFTs with only fundamental scalars in $d>6$ dimensions (to at least second order in the perturbation). Our results can be seen as a modest step towards understanding the space of interacting CFTs in $d>6$ and are consistent with the intuition that no such CFTs exist.

The formation of disk galaxies in a cosmological context: Populations, metallicities and metallicity gradients

description: We present first results concerning the metallicities and stellar populations of galaxies formed in a cosmologically motivated simulation. The calculations include dark matter, gas dynamics, radiation processes, star formation, supernovae feedback, and metal enrichment. A rotating, overdense sphere with a mass of $8\,10^{11}\,$\Msol\ serves as initial model. Converging and Jeans unstable regions are allowed to form stars, which get their metallicity from the gas they are formed from. Via supernovae, metal enriched gas is given back to the interstellar medium. The forming galaxy shows the main properties of spiral galaxies: A metal rich bulge, a metal poor stellar halo and a disk of nearly solar composition. Halo and bulge consist predominantly of old stars ($>10.5\,$Gyrs). The disk has a metallicity gradient of $\dd(\log Z) / \dd r = - 0.05\,$kpc$^{-1}$, whereas the halo shows none. The models also exhibit a correlation between the metallicity of Pop~II stars and the power of small scale fluctuations. The stars of the bulge form from gas which is initially located in the largest maxima of the primordial density fluctuations, whereas the halo stars originate from gas accumulated in less pronounced maxima.

description: The flat rotation curve obtained for the outer star clusters of the Large Magellanic Cloud is suggestive of an LMC dark matter halo. From the composite HI and star cluster rotation curve, I estimate the parameters of an isothermal dark matter halo added to a `maximum disk.' I then examine the possibility of detecting high energy gamma-rays from non-baryonic dark matter annihilations in the central region of the Large Magellanic Cloud.

Generation and spectroscopic signatures of a fractional quantum Hall liquid of photons in an incoherently pumped optical cavity

description: We theoretically investigate a driven-dissipative model of strongly interacting photons in a nonlinear optical cavity in the presence of a synthetic magnetic field. We show the possibility of using a frequency-dependent incoherent pump to create a strongly-correlated $ν= 1/2$ bosonic Laughlin state of light: thanks to the incompressibility of the Laughlin state, fluctuations in the total particle number and excitation of edge modes can be tamed by imposing a suitable external potential profile for photons. We further propose angular momentum-selective spectroscopy of the emitted light as a tool to obtain unambiguous signatures of the microscopic physics of the quantum Hall liquid of light.

Machine Learning for Atom Probe Tomography?

description: Atom probe tomography (APT) is an atomic scale materials characterisation technique. Utilising high-field emission, APT works by applying an electric field (between 10-60 V/nm), assisted by the application of a pulsed-laser for semi- and non-conductive samples, to a small needle shaped specimen. Ionised atoms at the sample tip are propelled through the electric field towards a multi-channel plate detector, where time-of-flight and x- and y-coordinates are recorded. Z-coordinates are calculated post-experimentation during the reconstruction process and are based on the sequence of events recorded at the detector. The end product of this process is an atomic 3D reconstruction of the sample from which valuable information as to the distribution of minor constituents within the sample, the grain boundary chemistry and more can be obtained. As the assortment of APT samples expands to include heterogeneous materials with complex field behaviour, the application of traditional reconstruction methods is no longer sufficient to produce highly accurate representations of the original samples. As such, the APT community is currently searching out new and novel methods of handling increasingly complex atom probe datasets.
Entanglement Criteria Based on Quantum Fisher Information

description: To optimize the entanglement detection, we formulate the metrologically operational entanglement condition in quantum Fisher information by maximizing the QFI on the measurement orbit. Specifically, we consider two classes of typical local observables, i.e. the local orthonormal observables and symmetric informationally complete positive operator-valued measures. Result shows that the symmetric informationally complete positive operator-valued measures are superior to local orthonormal observables in entanglement detection, which in some sense hints the yet unconfirmed generally superiority of symmetric informationally complete positive operator-valued measures in quantum information processing.

description: We have computed semi-inclusive spin asymmetries for proton and deuteron targets including next to leading order (NLO) QCD corrections and contributions coming from the target fragmentation region. These corrections have been estimated using NLO fragmentation functions, parton distributions and also a model for spin dependent fracture functions which is proposed here. We have found that NLO corrections are small but non-negligible in a scheme where gluons are polarised and that our estimate for target fragmentation effects does not modify significantly charged asymmetries but affects the so called difference asymmetries.

Teaching a computer to detect corrosion

subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: Corrosion costs roughly 3.4% of GDP, representing US$2.5 trillion worldwide per annum. The energy used to convert ores into alloys is constantly driving corrosion back to the oxidised state. Currently the most common corrosion assessment technique is visual inspection. Limitations to visual inspection include the requirement for expert opinions, subjectivity in this opinion, human error, and potentially hazardous access for inspectors. Our research is focused on using deep learning to automate the detection of corrosion. This presentation focuses on the challenges of deep learning for detecting rust, which has no defined form.
Phase Noise Compensation for OFDM Systems

description: We describe a low complexity method for time domain compensation of phase noise in OFDM systems. We extend existing methods in several respects. First we suggest using the Karhunen-Loéve representation of the phase noise process to estimate the phase noise. We then derive an improved datadirected choice of basis elements for LS phase noise estimation and present its total least square counterpart problem. The proposed method helps overcome one of the major weaknesses of OFDM systems. We also generalize the time domain phase noise compensation to the multiuser MIMO context. Finally we present simulation results using both simulated and measured phased noise. We quantify the tracking performance in the presence of residual carrier offset.
