description: The Higgs boson search has shifted from LEP2 to the Tevatron and will subsequently move to the LHC. The current limits from the Tevatron and the prospective sensitivities at the LHC are often interpreted in specific MSSM scenarios. For heavy Higgs boson production and subsequent decay into b \bar b or tau^+ tau^-, the present Tevatron data allow to set limits in the M_A-tan_beta plane for small M_A and large tan_beta values. Similar channels have been explored for the LHC, where the discovery reach extends to higher values of M_A and smaller tan_beta. Searches for MSSM charged Higgs bosons, produced in top decays or in association with top quarks, have also been investigated at the Tevatron and the LHC. We analyze the current Tevatron limits and prospective LHC sensitivities. We discuss how robust they are with respect to variations of the other MSSM parameters and possible improvements of the theoretical predictions for Higgs boson production and decay. It is shown that the inclusion of supersymmetric radiative corrections to the production cross sections and decay widths leads to important modifications of the present limits on the MSSM parameter space. The impact on the region where only the lightest MSSM Higgs boson can be detected at the LHC is also analyzed. We propose to extend the existing benchmark scenarios by including additional values of the higgsino mass parameter mu. This affects only slightly the search channels for a SM-like Higgs boson, while having a major impact on the searches for non-standard MSSM Higgs bosons.

description: In this paper, we present a novel concept for a multi-channel swept source optical coherence tomography (OCT) system based on photonic integrated circuits (PICs). At the core of this concept is a low-loss polarization dependent path routing approach allowing for lower excess loss compared to previously shown PIC-based OCT systems, facilitating a parallelization of measurement units. As a proof of concept for the low-loss path routing, a silicon nitride PIC-based single-channel swept source OCT system operating at 840 nm was implemented and used to acquire in-vivo tomograms of a human retina. The fabrication of the PIC was done via CMOS-compatible plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition to allow future monolithic co-integration with photodiodes and read-out electronics. A performance analysis using the results of the implemented photonic building blocks shows a potential tenfold increase of the acquisition speed for a multi-channel system compared to an ideal lossless single-channel system with the same signal-to-noise ratio.

description: Stars with masses between 1 and 8 solar masses (M$_\odot$) lose large amounts of material in the form of gas and dust in the late stages of stellar evolution, during their Asymptotic Giant Branch phase. Such stars supply up to 35% of the dust in the interstellar medium and thus contribute to the material out of which our solar system formed. In addition, the circumstellar envelopes of these stars are sites of complex, organic chemistry with over 80 molecules detected in them. We show that internal ultraviolet photons, either emitted by the star itself or from a close-in, orbiting companion, can significantly alter the chemistry that occurs in the envelopes particularly if the envelope is clumpy in nature. At least for the cases explored here, we find that the presence of a stellar companion, such as a white dwarf star, the high flux of UV photons destroys H$_2$O in the inner regions of carbon-rich AGB stars to levels below those observed and produces species such as C$^+$ deep in the envelope in contrast to the expectations of traditional descriptions of circumstellar chemistry.

description: The large values and the constituent-quark-number (NCQ) scaling of the elliptic flow of low-$p_T$ $D$ mesons imply that charm quarks, initially produced through hard processes, might be partially thermalized through the strong interactions with the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) in high-energy heavy-ion collisions. To quantify the degree of thermalization of low-$p_T$ charm quarks, we compare the $D^0$ meson spectra and elliptic flow from a hydrodynamic model to the experimental data as well as transport model simulations. We use an effective charm chemical potential at the freeze-out temperature to account for the initial charm quark production from hard processes and assume that they are thermalized in local comoving frame of the medium before freeze-out. $D^0$ mesons are sampled statistically from the freeze-out hyper-surface of the expanding QGP as described by the event-by-event (3+1)D viscous hydrodynamic model CLVisc. Both hydrodynamic and transport model can describe the elliptic flow of $D^0$ mesons at $p_T<3$ GeV/$c$ as measured in Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=200$ GeV. Though the experimental data on $D^0$ spectra are consistent with the hydrodynamic result at small $p_T\sim 1$ GeV/$c$, they deviate from the hydrodynamic model at high transverse momentum $p_T>2$ GeV/$c$. The diffusion and parton energy loss mechanisms in the transport model can describe the measured spectra reasonably well within the theoretical uncertainty. Our comparative study indicates that charm quarks only approach to local thermal equilibrium at small $p_T$ even though they acquire sizable elliptic flow that is comparable to light-quark hadrons at both small and intermediate $p_T$.

description: We propose a class of multipliers correction methods to minimize a differentiable function over the Stiefel manifold. The proposed methods combine a function value reduction step with a proximal correction step. The former one searches along an arbitrary descent direction in the Euclidean space instead of a vector in the tangent space of the Stiefel manifold. Meanwhile, the latter one minimizes a first-order proximal approximation of the objective function in the range space of the current iterate to make Lagrangian multipliers associated with orthogonality constraints symmetric at any accumulation point. The global convergence has been established for the proposed methods. Preliminary numerical experiments demonstrate that the new methods significantly outperform other state-of-the-art first-order approaches in solving various kinds of testing problems.

description: To understand current practices and challenges for collecting author feedback for English-language, industry-sponsored publications in Asia-Pacific (APAC), and the implications for adherence to international publication guidelines. A cross-sectional, internet-based survey of industry (‘internal’) authors (17 questions) and publication professionals (18 questions) supporting publications in APAC, conducted between November 18 and December 4, 2022. Overall, 142 survey responses were received, of which 94 (66%) were complete and included in the analysis (33 internal authors, 61 publication professionals). Almost half (45%) of internal authors preferred a non-English language for providing feedback on publications, and most (70%) would use this language whenever possible. Internal authors favored written (91%) versus spoken (73%) English, and email was the preferred mode of communication. Publication professionals said they have observed qualitative differences when authors provide feedback in a preferred non-English language versus English. Many agreed that authors tend to provide more substantive or critical feedback when they can respond in their preferred non-English language. Internal authors had low self-assessed familiarity with key publication guidelines, while most publication professionals had a moderate or high self-assessed familiarity. The main barriers to application of publication guidelines, as rated by publication professionals, were that external authors in APAC are not familiar with global publication guidelines and do not always provide feedback/responses in writing. It is important to consider the diverse language, cultural, and communication preferences of individuals involved in English-language publication development in APAC, and to ensure that authors are aware of current publication guidelines and best practices.

description: We solve the entanglement-assisted (EA) classical capacity region of quantum multiple-access channels with an arbitrary number of senders. As an example, we consider the bosonic thermal-loss multiple-access channel and solve the one-shot capacity region enabled by an entanglement source composed of sender-receiver pairwise two-mode squeezed vacuum states. The EA capacity region is strictly larger than the capacity region without entanglement-assistance. With two-mode squeezed vacuum states as the source and phase modulation as the encoding, we also design practical receiver protocols to realize the entanglement advantages. Four practical receiver designs, based on optical parametric amplifiers, are given and analyzed. In the parameter region of a large noise background, the receivers can enable a simultaneous rate advantage of 82.0% for each sender. Due to teleportation and superdense coding, our results for EA classical communication can be directly extended to EA quantum communication at half of the rates. Our work provides a unique and practical network communication scenario where entanglement can be beneficial.

description: Electroweakly Interacting Massive Particles (EWIMPs), in other words, new massive particles that are charged under the electroweak interaction of the Standard Model (SM), are often predicted in various new physics models. EWIMPs are probed at hadron collider experiments not only by observing their direct productions but also by measuring their quantum effects on Drell-Yan processes for SM lepton pair productions. Such effects are known to be enhanced especially when the di-lepton invariant mass of the final state is close to the EWIMP threshold, namely twice the EWIMP mass. In such a mass region, however, we have to carefully take non-perturbative effects into account, because the EWIMPs become non-relativistic and the prediction may be significantly affected by e.g., bound states of the EWIMPs caused by the electroweak interaction. We study such non-perturbative effects using the non-relativistic effective field theory of the EWIMPs, and found that those indeed affect the differential cross section of the Drell-Yan processes significantly, though the effects are smeared due to the finite energy resolution of the lepton measurement at the Large Hadron Collider experiment.

description: Experimental investigations of current shot noise in quantum point contacts show a reduction of the noise near the 0.7 anomaly. It is demonstrated that such a reduction naturally arises in a model proposed recently to explain the characteristics of the 0.7 anomaly in quantum point contacts in terms of a quasi-bound state, due to the emergence of two conducting channels. We calculate the shot noise as a function of temperature, applied voltage and magnetic field, and demonstrate an excellent agreement with experiments. It is predicted that with decreasing temperature, voltage and magnetic field, the dip in the shot noise is suppressed due to the Kondo effect.

description: This paper presents a new algorithm for detecting high-speed flow channels in the polar cap. The algorithm was applied to Super Dual Auroral Radar Network data, specifically to data from the new Longyearbyen radar. This radar is located at $78.2^\circ$N, $16.0^\circ$E geographical coordinates looking north-east, and is therefore at an ideal location to measure flow channels in the high-latitude polar cap. The algorithm detected $>$500 events over 1 year of observations, and within this paper two case studies are considered in more detail. A flow channel on "old-open field lines" located on the dawn flank was directly driven under quiet conditions over 13 min. This flow channel contributed to a significant fraction (60%) of the cross polar cap potential and was located on the edge of a polar cap arc. Another case study follows the development of a flow channel on newly opened field lines within the cusp. This flow channel is a spontaneously driven event forming under strong solar wind driving and is intermittently excited over the course of almost an hour. As they provide a high fraction of the cross polar cap potential, these small-scale structures are vital for understanding the transport of magnetic flux over the polar cap.
The effect of oscillating Fermi energy on the line shape of the Shubnikov-de Haas oscillation in a two dimensional electron gas

description: The line shape of the Shubnikov-de Haas (SdH) oscillation has been analyzed in detail for a GaAs/AlGaAs two-dimensional electron gas. The line shape, or equivalently the behavior of the Fourier components, of the experimentally observed SdH oscillation is well reproduced by the sinusoidal density of states at the Fermi energy that oscillates with a magnetic field in a saw-tooth shape to keep the electron density constant. This suggests that the broadening of each Landau level by disorder is better described by a Gaussian than by a Lorentzian.

description: To compare the efficacy and safety of insulin degludec biosimilar B01411 (HS-IDeg) with originator insulin degludec-Tresiba (NN-IDeg) in Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) who were inadequately controlled on oral antidiabetic drugs (OADs) for at least 3 months. This multicenter, randomized, open-label, parallel-group, active-controlled, phase 3 study enrolled 362 participants with T2DM. Participants were stratified according to whether the insulin secretagogue (sulfonylurea or glinide) had been used before the screening and then randomized 1:1 to receive once-daily subcutaneous injections of HS-IDeg (n = 180) or NN-IDeg (n = 182) for 18 weeks. The primary endpoint was the change from baseline in glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) to week 18. At week 18, the least squares (LS) mean change in HbA1c from baseline was −1.34% (95% CI −1.47 to −1.21) and −1.25% (95% CI −1.38 to −1.12) with HS-IDeg and NN-IDeg, respectively. The LS mean difference (HS-IDeg minus NN-IDeg) in HbA1c at week 18 was −0.09% (95% CI −0.28 to 0.10), demonstrating non-inferiority of HS-IDeg to NN-IDeg. Participants achieving HbA1c <7.0% at week 18 were 34.5% and 29.5% with HS-IDeg and NN-IDeg, respectively. Mean decreases in fasting plasma glucose and standard deviation of blood glucose were similar between both groups. Safety and tolerability, including hypoglycemia, adverse events, and weight change were similar between both groups. No severe hypoglycemia and no death occurred in the study. HS-IDeg and NN-IDeg demonstrated similar efficacy and safety over 18 weeks of treatment in Chinese patients with T2DM who had inadequate responses to OADs for at least 3 months.

These fine geometric properties, together with the shape calculus, help us to prove that the first eigenvalue is strictly decreasing as the inner ball moves towards the boundary of the outer ball.

description: International conference within the ERC Locus Ludi at the Swiss Museum of Games, with public lecture by Michel Manson and public opening of Saype artwork, Play in the lake (September, 17-19..2018). For more see: https://locusludi.ch. Play and games provide a privileged access to past societal norms, values, identities, and collective imaginary. People play all over the world and throughout history, but they do not play the same games, nor do they attribute the same meaning and function to play. The aim of this pluridisciplinary conference is to investigate how this past patrimony can be methodologically reconstructed. Three sessions will address first how the Ancients defined play and games by analysing their vocabulary in order to reconstruct an emic definition. Beyond the common association of child and play (in Greek, paidia, ‘game’, pais, the child, and paideia, ‘education’, share the same root, in Latin ludus means ‘play’, ‘school’ and ‘rhetorical games’), the views are more complex and nuanced. Identifying ludic material and practices archaeologically as well as in iconography is also a debatable issue. The second session concerns the sources available and their bias associated with literary genre, such as oniromancy, proverbs and the lexicon of Pollux. A major challenge is the reconstruction of a mostly oral patrimony, of lost children’s lore and agency. The third session examines the transmission process of these practices from one generation to the next, addressing crucial issues about continuities and discontinuities, as well as about the definition of a “traditional” game

description: The study of the article is aimed at highlighting the features of European integration processes in the insurance sector. In the course of the research it was determined that in the economic space of Ukraine there is a liberalization of currency legislation, stabilization of the national currency, general, though insignificant, but still GDP growth and continued cooperation with the EU, which is very important for all investors. These processes encourage and stimulate the development of the economy in general and the insurance market in particular. The preconditions for the integration of the insurance market of Ukraine into the EU conditions are determined, taking into account the strengths and weaknesses, potential opportunities and threats. The values of the main indicators of the development of the insurance market of Ukraine in comparison with the average European minimum and maximum values of indicators by EU countries are analyzed. The conceptual scheme of integration of the market of insurance services of Ukraine into the world insurance market is generalized. Prerequisites and negative factors that hinder the development of the national insurance market are substantiated. Also, the generalizations made it possible to highlight the features of the development of state regulation of insurance activities in EU countries, which will be useful for Ukraine. Recommendations for strengthening state control over the process of entering foreign capital into the Ukrainian insurance market are provided.
How spectrum-wide quantum criticality protects surface states of topological superconductors from Anderson localization: Quantum Hall plateau transitions (almost) all the way down

description: We review recent numerical studies of two-dimensional (2D) Dirac fermion theories that exhibit an unusual mechanism of topological protection against Anderson localization. These describe surface-state quasiparticles of time-reversal invariant, three-dimensional (3D) topological superconductors (TSCs), subject to the effects of quenched disorder. Numerics reveal a surprising connection between 3D TSCs in classes AIII, CI, and DIII, and 2D quantum Hall effects in classes A, C, and D. Conventional arguments derived from the non-linear $σ$-model picture imply that most TSC surface states should Anderson localize for arbitrarily weak disorder (CI, AIII), or exhibit weak antilocalizing behavior (DIII). The numerical studies reviewed here instead indicate spectrum-wide surface quantum criticality, characterized by robust eigenstate multifractality throughout the surface-state energy spectrum. In other words, there is an "energy stack" of critical wave functions. For class AIII, multifractal eigenstate and conductance analysis reveals identical statistics for states throughout the stack, consistent with the class A integer quantum-Hall plateau transition (QHPT). Class CI TSCs exhibit surface stacks of class C spin QHPT states. Critical stacking of a third kind, possibly associated to the class D thermal QHPT, is identified for nematic velocity disorder of a single Majorana cone in class DIII. The Dirac theories studied here can be represented as perturbed 2D Wess-Zumino-Novikov-Witten sigma models; the numerical results link these to Pruisken models with the topological angle $\vartheta = π$. Beyond applications to TSCs, all three stacked Dirac theories (CI, AIII, DIII) naturally arise in the effective description of dirty $d$-wave quasiparticles, relevant to the high-$T_c$ cuprates.

description: High-sensitivity cardiac troponins (Hs-cTns) are reliable indicators of myocardial injury, but their relationship with cardiovascular outcomes remains less understood. This study explores the association between adverse cardiac events and Hs-cTnT levels exceeding 14 ng/L in patients with stable CAD. Thirteen pertinent studies were identified using specific keywords from a pool of 208 articles retrieved from PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar, spanning 2013 to 2023. The primary outcomes included all-cause mortality (ACM), myocardial infarction (MI), cardiovascular death (CVD), rehospitalization due to decompensated heart failure (RDHF), need for revascularization, and stroke. Comprehensive meta-analysis (CMA) was employed to analyze the data for odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI). Heterogeneity was assessed using I2 statistics, and both qualitative assessment (Newcastle-Ottawa Scale) and quantitative analysis (Egger’s and Beggs test, funnel plots) were conducted. The analysis included 29,115 participants (74.72% male) with a mean age of 68.34 years. It revealed a significantly elevated risk of ACM among stable CAD patients with Hs-cTnT levels >14 ng/L compared to those with levels <14 ng/L (11.2% vs. 3.3%; OR = 5.46; 95% CI = 1.53–19.54; p = 0.009). Similarly, higher risks were observed for MI (10.9% vs 3.6%; OR = 3.12; 95% CI = 0.98–9.95, p = 0.053), CVD (8.1% vs. 2.1%; OR = 3.37; 95% CI = 1.74–6.50; p < 0.0001), and RDHF (6.62% vs. 0.92%; OR = 9.46; 95% CI = 4.65–19.24; p < 0.0001). Notably, major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) exhibited a stronger association with Hs-cTnT levels (18.2% vs 7.81%; OR = 1.89; 95% CI = 0.80–4.43; I2 = 97%; p = 0.14) compared to Hs-cTnI levels (20.1% vs 21.1%; OR = 1.30; 95% CI = 1.03–1.64; I2 <0.0001%; p = 0.03). Elevated levels of Hs-cTnT (>14 ng/L) are significantly associated with increased risks of RDHF and ACM in patients with stable CAD. Further large-scale prospective studies are warranted to refine risk assessment strategies and mitigate cardiovascular mortality in this population.

We implement TeV scale leptogenesis and employing both type I and II seesaw, the three light neutrinos are partially degenerate with masses in the 0.02-0.1 eV range. The effective mass parameter for neutrinoless double beta decay is 0.03-0.05 eV. We also find the interesting relation tan 2 θ_13 ~ [Δm^2_{\odot} / Δm^2_{atm}] [sin 2 θ_12 /tan 2 θ_23]

description: Surface polaritons display short wavelengths compared to propagating light, thus enabling large spatial concentration and enhancement of electromagnetic energy. However, this wavelength mismatch is generally accompanied by poor light-to-polaritons coupling that limits potential applications in areas such as optical sensing and optoelectronics. Here, we address this problem by demonstrating that a small scatterer placed at a suitable distance from a planar surface can produce complete coupling of a focused light beam to surface polaritons. We present rigorous theoretical results for light coupling to plasmons in silver films and graphene, as well as phonon polaritons in hexagonal boron nitride films. We further formulate detailed general prescriptions on the beam profile and particle response that are required to achieve maximum coupling, which we supplement by analytical calculations for dipolar scatterers and finite-size particles. Our results open a practical route to circumvent the long-standing photon-polariton wavelength mismatch problem in nanophotonics.

description: INTEGRAL monitoring of the Galactic Plane is revealing a growing number of recurrent X-ray transients, characterised by short outbursts with very fast rise times (~ tens of minutes) and typical durations of a few hours. Here we show that several of these transients are associated with OB supergiants and hence define a new class of massive X-ray binaries which we call Supergiant Fast X-ray Transients (SFXTs). Many other transient X-ray sources display similar X-ray characteristics, suggesting that they belong to the same class. Since they are difficult to detect and their number is growing fast and steadily, they could represent a major class of X-ray binaries.

description: Considering Verlinde's entropic gravity proposal, we focus the effects of fermionic $q$ deformation on the Einstein's field equations and Friedmann equations. For this purpose, we represent the thermodynamical properties of the deformed fermion gas model in two-dimensional space. To describe the behavior of the quantum black holes, deformed Einstein field equations are derived with the help of deformed entropy function. Moreover, deformed Friedmann equations are investigated by using Friedmann-Robertson-Walker (FRW) metric. We also present the effective ones of the energy density, the pressure, and the equation of state for the dark energy. Lastly, we derive an analytical expression of the effective density parameter of dark energy.

The mediating effect of participation and process outcomes on evaluation use in British Columbia School Accreditation
Creators: name: Turnbull, Barbara
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The term participatory evaluation is commonly understood as stakeholder involvement in evaluation decision making and is generally accepted as a means of increasing the use of evaluation information. In spite of the popularity of participatory evaluation, there are few empirical studies which explain the casual processes of the participation-use relationship and few theories of participatory evaluation. Furthermore, it is not yet known what variables mediate participation and use, or what evaluation methodology best identifies these variables. This dissertation was designed to test causal relations between participation and use in a proposed model of participatory evaluation. The constructs in the model were Participative Climate, Level of Participation in Decision Making, Influence in Participative Decision Making, Process Outcomes, and Instrumental and Symbolic Use. An intervening mechanism design (Chen, 1990) was used to test the hypotheses that (a) Participative Climate, Level of Participation in Decision Making, and Influence in Participative Decision Making predict Process Outcomes and (b) Process Outcomes predicts Instrumental Use and Symbolic Use. The sample included 315 elementary and secondary teachers who participated in the 1995/1996 British Columbia (B.C.) School Accreditation Program, which is a participative school evaluation program sponsored by the B.C. Ministry of Education. Structural equation modeling was used to test the fit of the model. Overall, the analysis indicated that both hypotheses were tenable and the model was a plausible representation of the data. Furthermore, cross-validation strategies indicated that the model would likely replicate in other independent samples. Specifically, the findings indicated that (a) teacher participation in pre-evaluation decisions, (b) influence in decision making, and (c) teacher perception of the participative process mediated the relationship between Participative Climate and Use of evaluation information. Moreover, teacher perceptions of Process Outcomes is a key factor in understanding the nature and function of participatory evaluation. The model tested in this study provides an empirically based explanation of how participatory evaluation can be expected to work and thereby provides a basis for further development of a theory of participatory evaluation.

description: Perovskite nanoplatelets (NPls) hold great promise for light-emitting applications, having achieved high photoluminescence quantum efficiencies (PLQEs) approaching unity in the blue wavelength range, where other metal-halide perovskites have typically been ineffective. However, the external quantum efficiency (EQE) of blue-emitting NPl light-emitting diodes (LEDs) have only reached 0.12%, with typical values well below 0.1%. In this work, we show that the performance of NPl LEDs is primarily hindered by a poor electronic interface between the emitter and hole-injector. Through Kelvin Probe and X-ray photoemission spectroscopy measurements, we reveal that the NPls have remarkably deep ionization potentials (>=6.5 eV), leading to large barriers for hole injection, as well as substantial non-radiative decay at the interface between the emitter and hole-injector. We find that an effective way to reduce these non-radiative losses is by using poly(triarylamine) interlayers. This results in an increase in the EQE of our blue LEDs emitting at 464 nm wavelength to 0.3%. We find that our results can be generalized to thicker sky-blue-emitting NPls, where we increase the EQE to 0.55% using the poly(triarylamine) interlayer. Our work also identifies the key challenges for further efficiency increases.
Benchmarking a semiclassical impurity solver for dynamical-mean-field theory: self-energies and magnetic transitions of the single-orbital Hubbard model

description: An investigation is presented of the utility of semiclassical approximations for solving the quantum-impurity problems arising in the dynamical-mean-field approach to the correlated-electron models. The method is based on performing a exact numerical integral over the zero-Matsubara-frequency component of the spin part of a continuous Hubbard-Stratonovich field, along with a spin-field-dependent steepest descents treatment of the charge part. We test this method by applying it to one or two site approximations to the single band Hubbard model with different band structures, and comparing the results to quantum Monte-Carlo and simplified exact diagonalization calculations. The resulting electron self-energies, densities of states and magnetic transition temperatures show reasonable agreement with the quantum Monte-Carlo simulation over wide parameter ranges, suggesting that the semiclassical method is useful for obtaining a reasonable picture of the physics in situations where other techniques are too expensive.

Friction on incommensurate substrates: Role of anharmonicity and defects

description: We present Molecular Dynamics simulations of one- and two-dimensional bead-spring models sliding on incommensurate substrates. We investigate how sliding friction is affected by interaction anharmonicity and structural defects. In their absence, we confirm earlier findings, namely, that at special resonance sliding velocities, friction is maximal. When sliding off-resonance, partially thermalized states are possible, whereby only a small number of vibrational modes becomes excited, but whose kinetic energies are already Maxwell-Boltzmann distributed. Anharmonicity and defects typically destroy partial thermalization, and instead lead to full thermalization, implying much higher friction. For sliders with periodic boundaries, thermalization begins with vibrational modes whose spatial modulation is compatible with the incommensurate lattice. For a disc-shaped slider, modes corresponding to modulations compatible with the slider radius are initially the most dominant. By tuning the mechanical properties of the slider's edge, this effect can be controlled, resulting in significant changes in the sliding distance covered.

description: We give an explanation for the signal detected by NANOGrav as the stochastic gravitational wave background from binary mergers of primordial "Stupendously Large Black Holes" (SLABs) of mass $M\sim(10^{11}-10^{12})M_{\odot}$, and corresponding to roughly $0.1\%$ of the dark matter. We show that the stringent bounds coming from $μ$ distortions of the CMB can be surpassed if the perturbations resulting in these BHs arise from the non-Gaussian distribution of fluctuations expected in single field models of inflation generating a spike in the power spectrum. While the tail of the stochastic background coming from binaries with $M\lesssim 10^{11}M_{\odot}$ could both fit NANOGrav and respect $μ$ distortions limits, they become excluded from large scale structure constraints.

description: We develop a theory for fluctuations and correlations in a gas evolving under ballistic annihilation dynamics. Starting from the hierarchy of equations governing the evolution of microscopic densities in phase space, we subsequently restrict to a regime of spatial homogeneity, and obtain explicit predictions for the fluctuations and time correlation of the total number of particles, total linear momentum and total kinetic energy. Cross-correlations between these quantities are worked out as well. These predictions are successfully tested against Molecular Dynamics and Monte-Carlo simulations. This provides strong support for the theoretical approach developed, including the hydrodynamic treatment of the spectrum of the linearized Boltzmann operator. This article is a companion paper to arXiv:0801.2299 and makes use of the spectral analysis reported there.

description: We undertake a detailed numerical study of the {\it Active Model B} proposed by Wittkowski et al. [Nature Comm. {\bf 5}, 4351 (2014)]. We find that the introduction of activity has a drastic effect on the ordering kinetics. First, the domain growth law shows a crossover from the usual Lifshitz-Slyozov growth law for phase separation ($L \sim t^{1/3}$, where $t$ is the time) to a novel growth law ($L \sim t^{1/4}$) at late times. Second, the correlation function exhibits dynamical scaling for a given activity strength $λ$, but the scaling function depends on $λ$.
