PSR B 1706-44 and the SNR G 343.1-2.3 as the remnants of a cavity supernova explosion

description: The possible association of the supernova remnant (SNR) G 343.1-2.3 with the pulsar PSR B 1706-44 (superposed on the arclike "shell" of the SNR) has been questioned by some authors on the basis of an inconsistency between the implied and measured (scintillation) transverse velocities of the pulsar, the absence of any apparent interaction between the pulsar and the SNR's "shell", and some other indirect arguments. We suggest, however, that this association could be real if both objects are the remnants of a supernova (SN) which exploded within a mushroom-like cavity (created by the SN progenitor wind breaking out of the parent molecular cloud). This suggestion implies that the actual shape of the SNR's shell is similar to that of the well-known SNR VRO 42.05.01 and that the observed bright arc corresponds to the "half" of the SNR located inside the cloud. We report the discovery in archival radio data of an extended ragged radio arc to the southeast of the bright arc which we interpret as the "half" of the SN blast wave expanding in the intercloud medium.

description: We introduce and solve a two-matrix model for the tri-coloring problem of the vertices of a random triangulation. We present three different solutions: (i) by orthogonal polynomial techniques (ii) by use of a discrete Hirota bilinear equation (iii) by direct expansion. The model is found to lie in the universality class of pure two-dimensional quantum gravity, despite the non-polynomiality of its potential.

Sound damping in glasses: interplay between anharmonicities and elastic heterogeneities

description: Some facets of the way sound waves travel through glasses are still unclear. Recent works have shown that in the low-temperature harmonic limit a crucial role in controlling sound damping is played by local elastic heterogeneity. Sound waves propagation has been demonstrated to be strongly affected by inhomogeneous mechanical features of the materials, which add to the anharmonic couplings at finite temperatures. We describe the interplay between these two effects by molecular dynamics simulation of a model glass. In particular, we focus on the transverse components of the vibrational excitations in terms of dynamic structure factors, and characterize the temperature dependence of sound attenuation rates in an extended frequency range. We provide a complete picture of all phenomena, in terms encompassing both theory and experiments.

description: The theory of relativity associates a proper time with each moving object via its world line. In quantum theory however, such well-defined trajectories are forbidden. After introducing a general characterisation of quantum clocks, we demonstrate that, in the weak-field, low-velocity limit, all "good" quantum clocks experience time dilation as dictated by general relativity when their state of motion is classical (i.e. Gaussian). For nonclassical states of motion, on the other hand, we find that quantum interference effects may give rise to a significant discrepancy between the proper time and the time measured by the clock. The universality of this discrepancy implies that it is not simply a systematic error, but rather a quantum modification to the proper time itself. We also show how the clock's delocalisation leads to a larger uncertainty in the time it measures -- a consequence of the unavoidable entanglement between the clock time and its center-of-mass degrees of freedom. We demonstrate how this lost precision can be recovered by performing a measurement of the clock's state of motion alongside its time reading.

description: The formation and evolution of galaxies is one of the great outstanding problems of astrophysics. Within the broad context of hierachical structure formation, we have only a crude picture of how galaxies like our own came into existence. A detailed physical picture where individual stellar populations can be associated with (tagged to) elements of the protocloud is far beyond our current understanding. Important clues have begun to emerge from both the Galaxy (near-field cosmology) and the high redshift universe (far-field cosmology). Here we focus on the fossil evidence provided by the Galaxy. Detailed studies of the Galaxy lie at the core of understanding the complex processes involved in baryon dissipation. This is a necessary first step towards achieving a successful theory of galaxy formation.

description: Computational and experimental investigation of lithium and sodium ion conduction in metastable alkali lanthanide pyrosilicates.
description: In this thesis the synthesis, structure, and ionic conductivity of the sodium and lithium lanthanide pyrosilicates, A3LnSi2O7 (A = Li, Na; Ln = Gd-Er, Y), are reported. The Na- silicates, Na3LnSi2O7, were made by the ceramic method. The meta-stable Li-silicates, Li3LnSi2O7, were formed by a molten salt ion exchange of Li+ for Na+ in Na3LnSi2O7. Structural models for the two compounds were refined against powder X-ray and neutron diffraction data using the Rietveld method, and Fourier difference maps were used to identify the location of the lithium ions in Li3LnSi2O7. The refined structural models show that both alkali compounds are characterised by the P63/m space group and exhibit the same LnSi2O7 framework but possess a remarkably different arrangement of alkali ions. The Na-compounds exhibit four crystallographically distinct alkali-sites whereas the Li-compounds exhibit two such sites, only one of which is equivalent to that in the Na-structure. The new lithium site inhabits an atypical square planar environment. These structural models were corroborated by pair distribution function analysis, bond length analysis, and bond-valence calculations. Potential conduction pathways within the A3LnSi2O7 structures were identified with bond-valence methods and used to propose conduction mechanisms for alkali ion trans- port. Variable temperature impedance spectroscopy measurements were used to show the Li-silicates exhibit an ionic conductivity significantly greater than that of the Na-silicates. The maximum ionic conductivity measured in the Na-compounds was 1.08(7)×10−7 S/cm at 285.5(3) ◦C in Na3HoSi2O7, while that measured in the Li-compounds was 6.7(6)×10−6 S/cm at 286.17(14) ◦C in Li3HoSi2O7. A variable temperature impedance control system was developed to enable these measurements. A microcontroller was used to automate the measurement process; a custom software library was written to allow a user to orchestrate the process with a simple program; and a least squares fitting algorithm was implemented to allow for batch data analysis. This work may be further adapted to accelerate the discovery of new solid state electrolytes for application in all solid state batteries.

description: In February 2007, the U.S. Department of Energy, BP Exploration (Alaska), Inc., and the U.S. Geological Survey conducted an extensive data collection effort at the "Mount Elbert #1" gas hydrates stratigraphic test well on the Alaska North Slope (ANS). The 22-day field program acquired significant gas hydrate-bearing reservoir data, including a full suite of open-hole well logs, over 500 feet of continuous core, and open-hole formation pressure response tests. Hole conditions, and therefore log data quality, were excellent due largely to the use of chilled oilbased drilling fluids. The logging program confirmed the existence of approximately 30 m of gashydrate saturated, fine-grained sand reservoir. Gas hydrate saturations were observed to range from 60% to 75% largely as a function of reservoir quality. Continuous wire-line coring operations (the first conducted on the ANS) achieved 85% recovery through 153 meters of section, providing more than 250 subsamples for analysis. The "Mount Elbert" data collection program culminated with open-hole tests of reservoir flow and pressure responses, as well as gas and water sample collection, using Schlumberger's Modular Formation Dynamics Tester (MDT) wireline tool. Four such tests, ranging from six to twelve hours duration, were conducted. This field program demonstrated the ability to safely and efficiently conduct a research-level openhole data acquisition program in shallow, sub-permafrost sediments. The program also demonstrated the soundness of the program's pre-drill gas hydrate characterization methods and increased confidence in gas hydrate resource assessment methodologies for the ANS.

Observation of Multi-Tev Diffuse Gamma Rays from the Galactic Plane with the Tibet Air Shower Array

description: Data from the Tibet-III air shower array (with energies around 3 TeV) and from the Tibet-II array (with energies around 10 TeV) have been searched for diffuse gamma rays from the Galactic plane. These arrays have an angular resolution of about 0.9 degrees. The sky regions searched are the inner Galaxy, 20 degrees <= l <= 55 degrees, and outer Galaxy, 140 degrees <= l <= 225 degrees, and |b| <= 2 degrees or <= 5 degrees. No significant Galactic plane gamma-ray excess was observed. The 99% confidence level upper limits for gamma-ray intensity obtained are (for |b| <= 2 degrees) 1.1 times 10^{-15} cm^{-2}s^{-1}sr^{-1}MeV^{-1} at 3 TeV and 4.1 times 10^{-17} cm^{-2}s^{-1}sr^{-1}MeV^{-1} at 10 TeV for the inner Galaxy, and 3.6 times 10^{-16} cm^{-2}s^{-1}sr^{-1}MeV^{-1} at 3 TeV and 1.3 times 10^{-17} cm^{-2}s^{-1}sr^{-1}MeV^{-1} at 10 TeV for the outer Galaxy, assuming a differential spectral index of 2.4. The upper limits are significant in the multi-TeV region when compared to those from Cherenkov telescopes in the lower energy region and other air shower arrays in the higher energy region; however, the results are not sufficient to rule out the inverse Compton model with a source electron spectral index of 2.0.

description: The Hamiltonian formalism of the generalized unimodular gravity theory, which was recently suggested as a model of dark energy, is shown to be a complicated example of constrained dynamical system. The set of its canonical constraints has a bifurcation -- splitting of the theory into two branches differing by the number and type of these constraints, one of the branches effectively describing a gravitating perfect fluid with the time-dependent equation of state, which can potentially play the role of dark energy in cosmology. The first class constraints in this branch generate local gauge symmetries of the Lagrangian action -- two spatial diffeomorphisms -- and rule out the temporal diffeomorphism which does not have a realization in the form of the canonical transformation on phase space of the theory and turns out to be either nonlocal in time or violating boundary conditions at spatial infinity. As a consequence, the Hamiltonian reduction of the model enlarges its physical sector from two general relativistic modes to three degrees of freedom including the scalar graviton. This scalar mode is free from ghost and gradient instabilities on the Friedmann background in a wide class of models subject to a certain restriction on time-dependent parameter $w$ of the dark fluid equation of state, $p=w\varepsilon$. For a special family of models this scalar mode can be ruled out even below the phantom divide line $w=-1$, but this line cannot be crossed in the course of the cosmological expansion. This is likely to disable the generalized unimodular gravity as a model of the phenomenologically consistent dark energy scenario, but opens the prospects in inflation theory with a scalar graviton playing the role of inflaton.

description: The effective theory of large-scale structure formation based on $Λ$CDM paradigm predicts finite dissipative effects in the resulting fluid equations. In this work, we study how viscous effect that could arise if one includes self-interaction among the dark-matter particles combines with the effective theory. It is shown that these two possible sources of dissipation can operate together in a cosmic fluid and the interplay between them can play an important role in determining dynamics of the cosmic fluid. In particular, we demonstrate that the viscosity coefficient due to self-interaction is added inversely with the viscosity calculated using effective theory of $Λ$CDM model. Thus the larger viscosity has less significant contribution in the effective viscosity. Using the known bounds on $\,σ/m$ for self-interacting dark-matter, where $\,σ\,$ and $m$ are the cross-section and mass of the dark-matter particles respectively, we discuss role of the effective viscosity in various cosmological scenarios.

description: Charge balance functions reflect the evolution of charged pair correlations throughout the stages of pair production, dynamical diffusion, and hadronization in heavy-ion collisions. Microscopic modeling of these correlations in the full collision volume shows that the balance functions are sensitive to the diffusivity of light quarks when studied as functions of relative azimuthal angle. By restricting our analysis to K+,K- and p,pbar pairs, we find that the diffusivity of light quarks, a fundamental property not currently well understood, can be constrained by experimental measurement.

description: Closed-form expressions are obtained for the generating function of close-packed dimers on a $2M \times 2N$ simple quartic lattice embedded on a Möbius strip and a Klein bottle. Finite-size corrections are also analyzed and compared with those under cylindrical and free boundary conditions. Particularly, it is found that, for large lattices of the same size and with a square symmetry, the number of dimer configurations on a Möbius strip is 70.2% of that on a cylinder. We also establish two identities relating dimer generating functions for Möbius strips and cylinders.

description: We performed a combined study of the (001)-cleavage plane of lanthanum hexaboride (LaB$_\text{6}$) using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and density functional theory (DFT). Experimentally, we found a (2$\times$1) reconstructed surface on a local scale. The reconstruction is only short-range ordered and tends to order perpendicularly to step edges. At larger distances from surface steps, the reconstruction evolves to a labyrinth-like pattern. These findings are supported by low-energy electron diffraction (LEED) experiments. Slab calculations within the framework of DFT shows that the atomic structure consists of parallel lanthanum chains on top of boron octahedra. Scanning tunneling spectroscopy (STS) shows a prominent spectral feature at -0.6 eV. Using DFT, we identify this structure as a surface resonance of the (2$\times$1) reconstructed LaB$_\text{6}$ (100)-surface which is dominated by boron dangling bond-states and lanthanum d-states.

We study in some detail the various properties of these polynomials and the corresponding quotient polynomials. In particular, we show that the weight functions for these polynomials are not always positive. We also study the orthogonal polynomials of the double sine-Gordon potential which is related to the double sinh-Gordon case by an anti-isospectral transformation. Finally we discover a new quasi-exactly solvable problem by making use of the anti-isospectral transformation.

On the relation of Clifford-Lipschitz groups to q-symmetric groups
Creators: name: Fauser, Bertfried
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1998
Subjects: subject: Quantum Algebra (math.QA)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: It can be shown that it is possible to find a representation of Hecke algebras within Clifford algebras of multivectors. These Clifford algebras possess a unique gradation and a possibly non-symmetric bilinear form. Hecke algebra representations can be classified, for non-generic q, by Young tableaux of the symmetric group due to the isomorphy of the group algebras for q ->1. Since spinors can be constructed as elements of minimal left (right) ideals obtained by the left (right) action on primitive idempotents, we are able to construct q-spinors from q-Young operators corresponding to the appropriate symmetry type. It turns out that an anti-symmetric part in the Clifford bilinear form is necessary. q-deformed reflections (Hecke generators) can be obtained only for even multivector aggregates rendering this symmetry a composite one. In this construction one is able to deform spin groups only, though not pin groups. The method is closely related to a projective interpretation.

description: It is usually believed that Darwin's theory leads to a smooth gradual evolution, so that mass extinctions must be caused by external shocks. However, it has recently been argued that mass extinctions arise from the intrinsic dynamics of Darwinian evolution. Species become extinct when swept by intermittent avalanches propagating through the global ecology. These ideas are made concrete through studies of simple mathematical models of coevolving species. The models exhibit self-organized criticality and describe some general features of the extinction pattern in the fossil record.

description: This dissertation broadly focuses on the role government should play in providing and financing education. The first chapter estimates the economic incidence of need-based student aid, one tool intended to ameliorate credit constraints in the market for higher education. The second chapter examines whether government programs providing support to low-income families should explicitly support or deny access to higher education by analyzing the impact of college attendance on the labor market outcomes of current and former welfare recipients. Chapter 3 focuses on publicly provided education at the primary and secondary levels, and estimates the impact of a teacher incentive pay program on student achievement.

description: Background In ruminants, embryo implantation depends on progesterone (P4) and interferon tau (IFNT) controlling endometrial function. IFNT antagonizes bovine endometrial cells (BEND) response to phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate (PDBU) through posttranscriptional regulation of gene expression. We have previously described microRNAs (miRNAs) profiles in bovine endometrium, detecting miR- 106a, relevant for embryo maternal communication. In this study, we investigated the expression miR-106a and genes for prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 2 (PTGS2), phospholipase A2, group IVA (PLA2G4A), estrogen receptor 1 (ESR1) and progesterone receptor (PR) in response to IFNT in BEND cells and searched for interferon responsive factors (IRFs) binding sites in their promoter genomic regions. The aim of this study was to unravel the molecular mechanisms involved in IFNT signalling and its regulation of miR-106a. Findings PTGS2 showed increased expression under PDBU, which was antagonized by IFNT. IFNT induced expression of PR and miR-106a and downregulation of ESR1 and PR. Bioinformatic analyses detected that PLA2G4A was associated to IRF-1 and IRF-6, while ESR1, PR and PTGS2 were associated to only IRF-6. All genes exhibit one motif per IRF, except miR-106a that had three binding sites for IRF-6. Conclusions We report the IFNT regulatory effect on miR-106a expression through IRF-6 in bovine endometrial cells. We identified a set of potential binding sites for IRF-1 and IRF-6 within the bovine genome. A set of candidate gene regions could be characterized where IFNT can act via IRFs to regulate the expression of proteins and miRNAs. Future studies will use these data to detect new IFNT regulatory mechanisms in the endometrium.

description: The discovery of the light-gated ion channel channelrhodopsin (ChR) set the stage for the novel field of optogenetics, where cellular processes are controlled by light. However, the underlying molecular mechanism of light- induced cation permeation in ChR2 remains unknown. Here, we have traced the structural changes of ChR2 by time-resolved FTIR spectroscopy, complemented by functional electrophysiological measurements. We have resolved the vibrational changes associated with the open states of the channel (P2390 and P3520) and characterized several proton transfer events. Analysis of the amide I vibrations suggests a transient increase in hydration of transmembrane α-helices with a t1/2 = 60 μs, which tallies with the onset of cation permeation. Aspartate 253 accepts the proton released by the Schiff base (t1/2 = 10 μs), with the latter being reprotonated by aspartic acid 156 (t1/2 = 2 ms). The internal proton acceptor and donor groups, corresponding to D212 and D115 in bacteriorhodopsin, are clearly different from other microbial rhodopsins, indicating that their spatial position in the protein was relocated during evolution. Previous conclusions on the involvement of glutamic acid 90 in channel opening are ruled out by demonstrating that E90 deprotonates exclusively in the nonconductive P4480 state. Our results merge into a mechanistic proposal that relates the observed proton transfer reactions and the protein conformational changes to the gating of the cation channel.

description: The understanding of the behaviour of systems of identical composite bosons has progressed significantly in connection with the analysis of the entanglement between constituents and the development of coboson theory. The basis of these treatments is a coboson ansatz for the ground state of a system of N pairs, stating that in appropriate limits this state is well approximated by the account of Pauli exclusion in what would otherwise be the product state of N independent pairs, each described by the single-pair ground state. In this work we study the validity of this ansatz for particularly simple problems, and show that short-ranged attractive interactions in very dilute limits and a single-pair ground state with very large entanglement are not enough to render the ansatz valid. On the contrary, we find that the dimensionality of the problem plays a crucial role in the behaviour of the many-body ground state.

A DOMAIN DECOMPOSITION APPROACH FOR LARGE-SCALE SIMULATIONS OF FLOW PROCESSES IN HYDRATE-BEARING GEOLOGIC MEDIA

description: Simulation of the system behavior of hydrate-bearing geologic media involves solving fully coupled mass- and heat-balance equations. In this study, we develop a domain decomposition approach for large-scale gas hydrate simulations with coarse-granularity parallel computation. This approach partitions a simulation domain into small subdomains. The full model domain, consisting of discrete subdomains, is still simulated simultaneously by using multiple processes/processors. Each processor is dedicated to following tasks of the partitioned subdomain: updating thermophysical properties, assembling mass- and energy-balance equations, solving linear equation systems, and performing various other local computations. The linearized equation systems are solved in parallel with a parallel linear solver, using an efficient interprocess communication scheme. This new domain decomposition approach has been implemented into the TOUGH+HYDRATE code and has demonstrated excellent speedup and good scalability. In this paper, we will demonstrate applications for the new approach in simulating field-scale models for gas production from gas-hydrate deposits.

description: The Algorand blockchain is a secure and decentralized public ledger based on pure proof of stake rather than proof of work. At its core it is a novel consensus protocol with exactly one block certified in each round: that is, the protocol guarantees that the blockchain does not fork. In this paper, we report on our effort to model and formally verify the Algorand consensus protocol in the Coq proof assistant. Similar to previous consensus protocol verification efforts, we model the protocol as a state transition system and reason over reachable global states. However, in contrast to previous work, our model explicitly incorporates timing issues (e.g., timeouts and network delays) and adversarial actions, reflecting a more realistic environment faced by a public blockchain. Thus far, we have proved asynchronous safety of the protocol: two different blocks cannot be certified in the same round, even when the adversary has complete control of message delivery in the network. We believe that our model is sufficiently general and other relevant properties of the protocol such as liveness can be proved for the same model.
