description: The Coulomb-Higgs phase transition of the four dimensional Z$_8$ gauge model is studied. We find clear first order properties in contradiction with the previously stressed second order behavior. That transition point may be regarded as the end of a transition line of the U(1)-Higgs model with charge $q=8$, that has been also assumed of second order. We show that this line is first order in a wide region, with a decreasing latent heat that goes to zero when closing to the 4--$d$ XY model limit.

A Note on Quantum Liouville Theory via Quantum Group; an Approach to Strong Coupling Liouville Theory

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: Quantum Liouville theory is analyzed in terms of the infinite dimensional representations of $U_Qsl(2,C)$ with q a root of unity. Making full use of characteristic features of the representations, we show that vertex operators in this Liouville theory are factorized into `classical' vertex operators and those which are constructed from the finite dimensional representations of $U_qsl(2,C)$. We further show explicitly that fusion rules in this model also enjoys such a factorization. Upon the conjecture that the Liouville action effectively decouples into the classical Liouville action and that of a quantum theory, correlation functions and transition amplitudes are discussed, especially an intimate relation between our model and geometric quantization of the moduli space of Riemann surfaces is suggested. The most important result is that our Liouville theory is in the strong coupling region, i.e., the central charge c_L satisfies $1

description: Due to the critical role of cellular enzymes necessary for cell proliferation by deciphering topological hurdles in the process of DNA replication, topoisomerases have been one of the major targets in the anticancer drug development area. A need, therefore, arises for new metallodrugs that specifically recognizes DNA and inhibits the activity of topoisomerase enzymes, herein, we report the synthesis and characterization of new metal-based glycoconjugate entities containing heterobimetallic core CuII–SnIV (1) and NiII–SnIV (2) derived from N-glycoside ligand (L). The optimized structure of complex 1 and other significant vibrational modes have been explained using dispersion corrected B3LYP/DFT calculations. In vitro DNA binding profile of the L and both the complexes 1 and 2 were done by various biophysical studies. Complex 1 breaks pBR322 DNA via a hydrolytic means which was validated by T4 DNA enzymatic assay. To get a mechanistic insight of mode of action topoisomerase I (Topo I) inhibition assay was carried out. Also, we have taken the help of molecular modeling studies in accordance with experimental findings. In vitro cytotoxicity of the complex 1 was evaluated against a panel of cancer cells which exhibited remarkably good anticancer activity (GI50 values <10 μg/ml). Moreover, intracellular localization of the complex 1 was visualized by confocal microscopy against HeLa cells.

description: The internationalisation of higher education as well as the emergence of evidence for the claim that bi/multilingualism in science should be the norm, not just an option, are conditions that explain the rise in university bilingual science courses. Thus far, however, little is known about how to foster bilingual scientific argumentation in this type of course. The purpose of this study was to provide evidence that the creation of bilingual scientific argument podcasts (BSAP) – a form of podcast where two languages are used to communicate elements of scientific argument structure (e.g. argument, counterargument, rebuttal) – can be used as a springboard to foster undergraduate bilingual scientific argumentation. The data was derived from scripts of the podcast episodes produced by twenty-seven students (19 females and 8 males, 19–25 years old) during a university Spanish-English bilingual science course taught within a formative assessment environment. Results indicate that student-created BSAP effectively enriched participants’ skills to produce (counter) arguments and rebuttals in Spanish (g = 0.79) and in English (g = 1.20). Moreover, findings suggest that undergraduates benefited from formative assessment practices such as instructor feedback and peer feedback. Implications related to bilingual science education practices and supporting students’ development of bilingual scientific argumentation within formative assessment environments are discussed.

description: We study the mean-field thermodynamics and the characteristics of the net-baryon number fluctuations at the phase boundaries for the chiral and deconfinement transitions in the Hybrid Quark-Meson-Nucleon model. The chiral dynamics is described in the linear sigma model, whereas the quark confinement is manipulated by a medium-dependent modification of the particle distribution functions, where an additional scalar field is introduced. At low temperature and finite baryon density, the model predicts a first-, second-order chiral phase transition, or a crossover, depending on the expectation value of the scalar field, and a first-order deconfinement phase transition. We focus on the influence of the confinement over higher-order cumulants of the net-baryon number density. We find that whereas the cumulants show a substantial enhancement around the chiral phase transition, they are not as sensitive to the deconfinement transition.

description: We propose a scheme for generation of maximally entangled states involving internal electronic degrees of freedom of two distant trapped ions, each of them located in a cavity. This is achieved by using a single flying atom to distribute entanglement. For certain specific interaction times, the proposed scheme leads to the non-probabilistic generation of a perfect Bell-type state. At the end of the protocol, the flying atom completely disentangles from the rest of the system, leaving both ions in a Bell-type state. Moreover, the scheme is insensitive to the cavity field state and cavity losses. We also address the situation in which dephasing and dissipation must be taken into account for the flying atom on its way from one cavity to the other, and discuss the applicability of the resulting noisy channel for performing quantum teleportation.
description: 5 pages, 1 figure, detailed comments on the practical implementation of the scheme is added to replaced version, minor typos fixed, added references with comments

description: The interacting boson-fermion model (IBFM), with parameters determined from the microscopic Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov (HFB) approximation, based on the parametrization D1M of the Gogny energy density functional (EDF), is employed to study the structural evolution in odd-mass $γ$-soft nuclei. The deformation energy surfaces of even-even nuclei, single-particle energies and occupation probabilities of the corresponding odd-mass systems have been obtained within the constrained HFB approach. Those building blocks are then used as a microscopic input to build the IBFM Hamiltonian. The coupling constants of the boson-fermion interaction terms are taken as free parameters, fitted to reproduce experimental low-lying spectra. The diagonalization of the IBFM Hamiltonian provides the spectroscopic properties for the studied odd-mass nuclei. The procedure has been applied to compute low-energy excitation spectra and electromagnetic transition rates, in the case of the $γ$-soft odd-mass systems $^{129-137}$Ba, $^{127-135}$Xe, $^{129-137}$La and $^{127-135}$Cs. The calculations provide a reasonable agreement with the available experimental data and agree well with previous results based on the relativistic mean-field approximation.

About EDGELESS: EDGELESS project aims to leverage the serverless concept in all the layers in the edge-cloud continuum to fully benefit from diverse and decentralised computational resources available on-demand close to where data are produced or consumed. In particular, we aim at realising an efficient and transparent horizontal pooling of the resources on edge nodes with constrained capabilities or specialised hardware, smoothly integrated with cloud resources, which is a giant leap forward compared to state-of-the-art vertical offloading solutions where the edge is a mere supplement of the cloud.

description: We formulate statistical isotropy of CMB anisotropy maps in its most general form. We also present a fast and orientation independent statistical method to determine deviations from statistical isotropy in CMB polarization maps. Importance of having statistical tests of departures from SI for CMB polarization maps lies not only in interesting theoretical motivations but also in testing cleaned CMB polarization maps for observational artifacts such as residuals from polarized foreground emission. We propose a generalization of the Bipolar Power Spectrum (BiPS) to polarization maps. Application to the observed CMB polarization maps will be soon possible after the release of WMAP three year data. As a demonstration we show that for E-polarization this test can detect breakdown of statistical isotropy due to polarized synchrotron foreground.

description: Relying on the geometrical set up of Special Kähler Geometry and Quaternionic Geometry, which I discussed at length in my Lectures at the 1995 edition of this Spring School, I present here the recently obtained fully general form of N=2 supergravity with completely arbitrary couplings. This lagrangian has already been used in the literature to obtain various results: notably the partial breaking of supersymmetry and various extremal black--hole solutions. My emphasis, however, is only on providing the reader with a completely explicit and ready to use component expression of the supergravity action. All the details of the derivation are omitted but all the definitions of the items entering the lagrangian and the supersymmetry transformation rules are given.

Self-assembled block copolymers: micelles, polymersomes and gels
Creators: name: Feng, Bailin
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2022

description: Self-assembled polymers (micelles, polymer vesicles/polymersomes, and gels) are promising biomaterials for many biomedical and manufacturing applications like drug delivery, tissue engineering and 3D printing. The focus of this thesis was to investigate the drug delivery of polymersomes and how the gelation behaviour of thermoresponsive polymers is affected by the polymer structure. Most of the polymers in this thesis have been successfully synthesised by Group Transfer Polymerisation (GTP). Specifically, i) In the first project, the hydrophilic monomer poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate (PEGMA, A) was combined with hydrophobic monomer methyl methacrylate (MMA, B) by GTP to obtain AB diblock copolymers and ABA triblock copolymers. The composition of each block was systematically varied. The polymersomes were characterised by Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM). Finally, the fluorescein sodium was encapsulated in the polymersomes and release study was also investigated. ii) In the second project, a new series of ABC triblock copolymers were successfully synthesized via GTP based on PEGMA (A), 2-phenylethyl methacrylate (PhEMA, B) and di(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate (DEGMA, C). The composition of each block was systematically varied. Graphene was also mixed with the most promising thermoresponsive polymer to investigate if a stable structure can be successfully printed. iii) The third project focused on investigating if the five different alkyl methacrylates, specifically, MMA, ethyl methacrylate (EtMA), propyl methacrylate (ProMA), n-butyl methacrylate (BuMA) and n-hexyl methacrylate (HMA) as B block in ABC triblock polymer PEGMAx-b-Alkyl methacrylatey-b-DEGMAz affected the thermoresponsive behaviours of aqueous polymer solutions. Therefore, ABC triblock copolymers were successfully synthesized via GTP based on PEGMA (A), alkylmethacrylate(B) and DEGMA(C) and varying compositions. The self- assembly and thermoresponsive behaviour of their aqueous solution was investigated. In conclusion, the diblock polymer PEGMA13-b-PMMA60 and triblock polymers PEGMA13-b-PMMA20-b-PEGMA13, PEGMA11-b-PMMA30-b-PEGMA11 and PEGMA7-b-PMMA60-b-PEGMA7 all can self-assembly into the structure of a polymersome and fluorescein sodium can be successfully encapsulated and released. The most promising thermogel from the second project PEGMA14-b- PhEMA15-b-DEGMA7, was mixed with (10 w/w%) graphene to form the ink and a stable structure is successfully printed based on the ink. In the third project, for the same composition of each block of polymers with different alkyl methacrylates, the gels form at a lower temperature when the alkyl methacrylate has a longer side chain.

description: We study the thermal phase transitions of the four-fold degenerate phases (the plaquette and single stripe states) in two-dimensional frustrated Ising model on the Shastry-Sutherland lattice using Monte Carlo simulations. The critical Ashkin-Teller-like behavior is identified both in the parameter regions with the plaquette and single stripe phases, respectively. The four-state Potts-critical end points differentiating the continuous transitions from the first-order ones are estimated based on finite-size scaling analyses. Furthermore, similar behavior of the transition to the four-fold single stripe phase is also observed in the anisotropic triangular Ising model. Thus, this work clearly demonstrates that the transitions to the four-fold degenerate states of two-dimensional Ising antiferromagnets exhibit similar transition behavior.

description: With the ever decreasing attention span of contemporary Internet users, the title of online content (such as a news article or video) can be a major factor in determining its popularity. To take advantage of this phenomenon, we propose a new method based on a bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) neural network designed to predict the popularity of online content using only its title. We evaluate the proposed architecture on two distinct datasets of news articles and news videos distributed in social media that contain over 40,000 samples in total. On those datasets, our approach improves the performance over traditional shallow approaches by a margin of 15%. Additionally, we show that using pre-trained word vectors in the embedding layer improves the results of LSTM models, especially when the training set is small. To our knowledge, this is the first attempt of applying popularity prediction using only textual information from the title.

description: We investigate a dynamically triangulated random surface action that consists of a gaussian term plus the modulus of the intrinsic scalar curvature. We find that the flips are frozen out and the internal geometry is regularized as the coefficient of the latter term is increased. Such a term thus provides a way of interpolating between dynamically triangulated (ie fluid) and crystalline random surfaces.

description: As an ambient atmospheric pollutant, fine particulate matter (PM2.5) has posed significant adverse impacts on public health around the world. To attenuate the population exposure risk to PM2.5 pollution, greenspace has been considered as a promising approach. Little is known, however, about the attenuating impacts of greenspace landscapes on PM2.5 exposure risks at various locations, scales, and exposure levels. This study employed hotspot analysis, weighted barycenter, and time-series clustering to investigate the spatiotemporal dynamics of PM2.5 exposure across Wuhan. In addition, the multi-scale geographically weighted regression (MGWR) was used to determine the relationships between greenspace landscape patterns and yearly PM2.5 exposure over four years (2000, 2005, 2010, and 2015). Results revealed that, between 2000 and 2016, the variations in PM2.5 exposure hotspot coverages within Wuhan showed an inverse U-shape trend. The K-DTW clustering differentiated the study area into seven spatial clusters with homogeneous temporal dynamics. In general, there were three stages of fluctuations in PM2.5 exposure in Wuhan: 2000–2005, 2006–2011, and 2012–2016. MGWR also disclosed associations between PM2.5 exposure and greenspace landscape parameters (AI, ED, SI, and PLAND). PLAND of green spaces can mitigate PM2.5 exposure at a broader scale (the average bandwidth was 1391), while AI, ED, and SI are generally associated with PM2.5 exposure reduction on local scales. In Wuhan, we also confirmed such relationships between four landscape metrics with varying levels of exposure risks. The results indicate that the attenuation effectiveness toward PM2.5 exposure risk by greenspace landscapes is not only site- and scale-dependent but also affected by exposure risk levels. The findings of this study can contribute to greenspace planning and management for mitigating PM2.5-attributable adverse health impacts.

description: One of the most basic computational problems is the task of finding a desired item in an ordered list of N items. While the best classical algorithm for this problem uses log_2 N queries to the list, a quantum computer can solve the problem using a constant factor fewer queries. However, the precise value of this constant is unknown. By characterizing a class of quantum query algorithms for ordered search in terms of a semidefinite program, we find new quantum algorithms for small instances of the ordered search problem. Extending these algorithms to arbitrarily large instances using recursion, we show that there is an exact quantum ordered search algorithm using 4 log_{605} N \approx 0.433 log_2 N queries, which improves upon the previously best known exact algorithm.

Probing the Dark Sector through Mono-Z Boson Leptonic Decays

description: Collider search for dark matter production has been performed over the years based on high pT standard model signatures balanced by large missing transverse energy. The mono-Z boson production with leptonic decay has a clean signature with the advantage that the decaying electrons and muons can be precisely measured. This signature not only enables reconstruction of the Z boson rest frame, but also makes possible recovery of the underlying production dynamics through the decaying lepton angular distribution. In this work, we exploit full information carried by the leptonic Z boson decays to set limits on coupling strength parameters of the dark sector. We study simplified dark sector models with scalar, vector, and tensor mediators and observe among them different signatures in the distribution of angular coefficients.Specifically, we show that angular coefficients can be used to distinguish different scenarios of the spin-0 and spin-1 models, including the ones with parity-odd and charge conjugation parity-odd operators. To maximize the statistical power, we perform a matrix element method study with a dynamic construction of event likelihood function. We parametrize the test statistic such that sensitivity from the matrix element is quantified through a term measuring the shape difference. Our results show that the shape differences provide significant improvements in the limits, especially for the scalar mediator models. We also present an example application of a matrix-element-kinematic-discriminator, an easier approach that is applicable for experimental data.

description: We present a new empirical method for fitting multicolor light curves of Type Ia supernovae. Our method combines elements from two widely used techniques in the literature: the delta_m15 template fitting method and the Multicolor Light-Curve Shape method. An advantage of our technique is the ease of adding new colors, templates, or parameters to the fitting procedure. We use a large sample of published light curves to calibrate the relations between the absolute magnitudes at maximum and delta_m15 in BVRI filters. We find that individual subsamples from a given survey or publication have significantly tighter relationships between light curve shape and luminosity than the relationship derived from the sum of all the samples, pointing to uncorrected systematic errors in the photometry, mainly in BV filters. Using our method, we calculate luminosity distances and host galaxy reddening to 89 SNe in the Hubble flow and construct a low-z Hubble diagram. The dispersion of the SNe in the Hubble diagram is 0.20 mag, or an error of ~9% in distance to a single SN. Our technique produces similar or smaller dispersion in the low-z Hubble diagram than other techniques in the literature.

description: We prove a 20-year-old conjecture concerning two quantum invariants of three manifolds that are constructed from finite dimensional Hopf algebras, namely, the Kuperberg invariant and the Hennings-Kauffman-Radford invariant. The two invariants can be viewed as a non-semisimple generalization of the Turaev-Viro-Barrett-Westbury $(\text{TVBW})$ invariant and the Witten-Reshetikhin-Turaev $(\text{WRT})$ invariant, respectively. By a classical result relating $\text{TVBW}$ and $\text{WRT}$, it follows that the Kuperberg invariant for a semisimple Hopf algebra is equal to the Hennings-Kauffman-Radford invariant for the Drinfeld double of the Hopf algebra. However, whether the relation holds for non-semisimple Hopf algebras has remained open, partly because the introduction of framings in this case makes the Kuperberg invariant significantly more complicated to handle. We give an affirmative answer to this question. An important ingredient in the proof involves using a special Heegaard diagram in which one family of circles gives the surgery link of the three manifold represented by the Heegaard diagram.

A Non-perturbative Description of the Gimon-Polchinski Orientifold
Creators: name: Sen, Ashoke
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1996
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A T-dual version of the Gimon-Polchinski orientifold can be described by a configuration of intersecting Dirichlet seven branes and orientifold seven planes in the classical limit. We study modification of this background due to quantum corrections. It is shown that non-perturbative effects split each orientifold plane into a pair of nearly parallel seven branes. Furthermore, a pair of intersecting orientifold planes, instead of giving rise to two pairs of intersecting seven branes, gives just one pair of seven branes, each representing a pair of nearly orthogonal seven branes smoothly joined to each other near the would be intersection point. Interpretation of these results from the point of view of the dynamics on a three brane probe is also discussed.

description: To further improve the performance of Monte Carlo simulations of first-order phase transitions we propose to combine the multicanonical approach with multigrid techniques. We report tests of this proposition for the $d$-dimensional $Φ^4$ field theory in two different situations. First, we study quantum tunneling for $d = 1$ in the continuum limit, and second, we investigate first-order phase transitions for $d = 2$ in the infinite volume limit. Compared with standard multicanonical simulations we obtain improvement factors of several resp. of about one order of magnitude.

description: We report the first measurement of differential and total cross sections for the $γd \to K^0Λ(p)$ reaction, using data from the CLAS detector at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility. Data collected during two separate experimental runs were studied with photon-energy coverage 0.8 - 3.6 GeV and 0.5 - 2.6 GeV, respectively. The two measurements are consistent giving confidence in the method and determination of systematic uncertainties. The cross sections are compared with predictions from the KAON-MAID theoretical model (without kaon exchange), which deviate from the data at higher W and at forward kaon angles. These data, along with previously published cross sections for $K^+ Λ$ photoproduction, provide essential constraints on the nucleon resonance spectrum. A first partial wave analysis has been performed that describes the data without the introduction of new resonances.

Transverse Entanglement Migration in Hilbert Space

description: We show that, although the amount of mutual entanglement of photons propagating in free space is fixed, the type of correlations between the photons that determine the entanglement can dramatically change during propagation. We show that this amounts to a migration of entanglement in Hilbert space, rather than real space. For the case of spontaneous parametric down conversion, the migration of entanglement in transverse coordinates takes place from modulus to phase of the bi-photon state and back again. We propose an experiment to observe this migration in Hilbert space and to determine the full entanglement.

description: Roads are by nature a contested subject. Although they represent vital infrastructure to enable the flow of people, goods and ideas, their potential detrimental effects for humans and the environment have been a constant source of debate and criticism. This is particularly true for natural resource-rich regions such as the Amazon, where the development of roads has been directly associated with rampant deforestation and resource extraction, uncontrolled colonization and dispossession of indigenous lands. Yet the impact of roads goes far beyond their direct social and environmental costs and benefits. In many places of the world, roads have a strong evocative power, as they represent spaces that materially and symbolically embody ideas such as „modernity,‟ „progress,‟ „backwardness‟ and „development.‟ Combining multi-sited ethnography and historical analysis, this photo essay attempts to document the past, present, and likely future of a road in Putumayo, a region of southwest Colombia that has been traditionally considered a marginal frontier, and which has also become internationally known for the production of cocaine and the violence that has come with it. The road, as I will try to show, invites reflection about the complexities inherent to the different meanings and realities of development.
Recurrent Neural Networks for Online Video Popularity Prediction

description: In this paper, we address the problem of popularity prediction of online videos shared in social media. We prove that this challenging task can be approached using recently proposed deep neural network architectures. We cast the popularity prediction problem as a classification task and we aim to solve it using only visual cues extracted from videos. To that end, we propose a new method based on a Long-term Recurrent Convolutional Network (LRCN) that incorporates the sequentiality of the information in the model. Results obtained on a dataset of over 37'000 videos published on Facebook show that using our method leads to over 30% improvement in prediction performance over the traditional shallow approaches and can provide valuable insights for content creators.
