description: We show that the subleading soft photon theorem in a $(d+2)$-dimensional massless abelian gauge theory gives rise to a Ward identity corresponding to divergent large gauge transformations acting on the celestial sphere at null infinity. We further generalize our analysis to $(d+2)$-dimensional non-abelian gauge theories and show that the leading and subleading soft gluon theorem give rise to Ward identities corresponding to asymptotic symmetries of the theory.

On the driven Frenkel-Kontorova model: I. Uniform sliding states and dynamical domains of different particle densities

description: The dynamical behavior of a harmonic chain in a spatially periodic potential (Frenkel-Kontorova model, discrete sine-Gordon equation) under the influence of an external force and a velocity proportional damping is investigated. We do this at zero temperature for long chains in a regime where inertia and damping as well as the nearest-neighbor interaction and the potential are of the same order. There are two types of regular sliding states: Uniform sliding states, which are periodic solutions where all particles perform the same motion shifted in time, and nonuniform sliding states, which are quasi-periodic solutions where the system forms patterns of domains of different uniform sliding states. We discuss the properties of this kind of pattern formation and derive equations of motion for the slowly varying average particle density and velocity. To observe these dynamical domains we suggest experiments with a discrete ring of at least fifty Josephson junctions.

description: There have been rapid developments in model-based clustering of graphs, also known as block modelling, over the last ten years or so. We review different approaches and extensions proposed for different aspects in this area, such as the type of the graph, the clustering approach, the inference approach, and whether the number of groups is selected or estimated. We also review models that combine block modelling with topic modelling and/or longitudinal modelling, regarding how these models deal with multiple types of data. How different approaches cope with various issues will be summarised and compared, to facilitate the demand of practitioners for a concise overview of the current status of these areas of literature.

A new conservative/dissipative time integration scheme for nonlinear mechanical systems

Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Numerical Analysis (math.NA)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: We present a conservative/dissipative time integration scheme for nonlinear mechanical systems. Starting from a weak form, we derive algorithmic forces and velocities that guarantee the desired conservation/dissipation properties. Our approach relies on a collection of linearly constrained quadratic programs defining high order correction terms that modify, in the minimum possible way, the classical midpoint rule so as to guarantee the strict energy conservation/dissipation properties. The solution of these programs provides explicit formulas for the algorithmic forces and velocities which can be easily incorporated into existing implementations. Similarities and differences between our approach and well-established methods are discussed as well. The approach, suitable for reduced-order models, finite element models, or multibody systems, is tested and its capabilities are illustrated by means of several examples.

description: The natural partial ordering of the orbit types of the action of the group of local gauge transformations on the space of connections in space-time dimension d<=4 is investigated. For that purpose, a description of orbit types in terms of cohomology elements of space-time, derived earlier, is used. It is shown that, on the level of these cohomology elements, the partial ordering relation is characterized by a system of algebraic equations. Moreover, operations to generate direct successors and direct predecessors are formulated. The latter allow to successively reconstruct the set of orbit types, starting from the principal type.

description: In the past decade, research in the field of singlet fission, the process in which one high energy singlet fission exciton forms two lower energy triplet excitons, has seen a resurgence as a process that has the potential to improve solar energy conversion efficiency and contribute to a push for renewable energy. While an impressive motivation, there is still much progress in terms of understanding the physics of the process as well as improving molecular design for actual applications that needs to be made before this motivation can be fully realized. Two significant current hurdles in this field are the extraction of the newly formed triplet excitons from their entangled triplet pair state before recombination, and the lack of stable chromophores with viable energetics for singlet fission and high triplet energies for application purposes. Over the past five years, we have addressed these issues with targeted molecular design. Only a couple of studies have successfully separated the triplet pair state in intramolecular singlet fission systems. We create an intramolecular singlet fission system, a PDI-pentacene-pentacene-PDI tetramer, in which a charge transfer state is utilized to separate an electronically entangled triplet pair. We have also shown that singlet fission can be controlled as well as actually induced in chromophores by employing molecular contortion to tune the energetics. With this work, we have contributed to the motivation of using singlet fission in real-life applications.
Time-reversed particle-vibration loops and nuclear Gamow-Teller response

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Nuclear Theory (nucl-th)

description: The nuclear response theory for charge-exchange modes in the relativistic particle-vibration coupling approach is extended to include for the first time particle-vibration coupling effects in the ground state of the parent nucleus. In a framework based on the effective meson-nucleon Lagrangian, we investigate the role of such complex ground-state correlations in the description of Gamow-Teller transitions in $^{90}$Zr in both (p,n) and (n,p) channels. The particle-vibration coupling effects are calculated without introducing new parameters. We find that this new correlation mechanism is fully responsible for the appearance of the strength in the (n,p) branch. Comparison of our results to the available experimental data shows a very good agreement up to excitation energies beyond the giant resonance region when taking into account a phenomenological admixture of the isovector spin monopole transitions. The parent-daughter binding-energy differences are also greatly improved by the inclusion of the new correlations.

description: This thesis contains the author's results on singular solutions to the Monge-Ampere equation \det D^2u = 1. We first prove that solutions are smooth away from a small closed singular set of Hausdorff (n-1)-dimensional measure zero. We also construct solutions with a singular set of Hausdorff dimension n-1, showing that this result is optimal. As a consequence we obtain unique continuation for the Monge-Ampere equation. Finally, we prove an interior W^{2,1} estimate for singular solutions, and we construct an example to show that this estimate is optimal.

We explore stability against radial collapse to black holes prior to merger, and against orbital plunge. We apply theorems based on turning points along uniformly rotating sequences of constant angular momentum and rest mass to locate the onset of secular instabilities. We find that inspiraling binary neutron stars are stable against radial collapse to black holes all the way down to the innermost stable circular orbit.

They also contain subalgebras which are isomorphic to the Virasoro algebra $Vir$, but graded by $p\mathbb Z$(unlike $Vir$ by $\mathbb Z$).
Tackling the Career Fair: Scaffolded Activities to Prepare Students for Recruitment

Year: 2019

description: Location: Dewberry Hall As graduation looms, many students begin to worry that they will not marketable. Encouraging preparation for and attending the career fair can be a unique tool to empower students towards their futures. I encourage students to make an appointment for career services, to work on their resume, and start researching the job they hope to have. Many students feel deflated that a high number of careers in their field require a master's degree. While I also avidly encourage grad school, students whom are feeling the weight of 4+ years of school, debt, and other pressures, are often really discouraged at their job prospects. In my courses, I set out to do a few things: a) encourage and connect students with volunteer, community service, and potential internship options in their field, b) have them take a new look at their resume, highlighting unique skills and experiences that may not have previously related to their major, c) "practice" invaluable marketing, interview, professionalism, and presentation skills at the career fair, even if they are not actively looking for a job at this time. Students should be able to convey and demonstrate what they are learning in a way that is marketable, exhibiting a growing expertise in their field. Through the development of a personal elevator speech, a polished resume, and guidelines on professional code, students can feel more "ready" for life after graduation. By "shopping" the job fair and engaging in conversations with the vendors, they gain a perspective on what the ideal candidate looks like and how they can spend the next 3, 6 or more months "molding" some of their experiences and courses to the job they hope to have in the future. Faculty can use their own real-life experiences with first-time jobs and share the sometimes "bumpy" road to a "dream job." We can develop ways to help train and empower students whom we know will likely need a Masters in their field, but helping them use their current tools to gain more experience and exposure, in the meantime.

Optical signature of quantum coherence in fully dark exciton condensates

description: We predict that the collision of two fully dark exciton condensates produces interference fringes which are not only dark but also bright. So, quite surprisingly, the collision of coherent states made of dark excitons produces light. This remarkable effect, which is many-body in essence, comes from the composite boson nature of excitons, through the fermion exchanges they can have which transform dark states into bright states. The possibility of optically detecting quantum coherence in a regime where the system is hidden by its total darkness, was up to now considered as hopeless.

Year: 2019

description: Location: Dewberry Hall With over 34,000 students representing 123 countries, George Mason University is a vastly diverse university with students bringing different learning experiences and skill sets with them into the classroom. The study that our team conducted analyzes the essays of native English speakers, as well as the essays of students for whom English is their second language. Our objective when conducting this research was to observe the essays for signs of syntactic complexity and patterns of language errors. Specifically, we looked for subordinating clauses, transitions, subject/verb agreement, article usage, run-on sentences, and fragments. We found that some errors in L1 and L2 populations were consistent with our expectations, but others reveled a more complex understanding of the linguistic norms of the groups studied. The results of these findings will give professors of all disciplines and modalities insight to the challenges that first-year L1 and L2 students confront when faced with a writing assignment.

A valid species, Tenthredo (Tenthredo) asperata (Konow, 1906).
Types. Allantus asperatus Konow, 1906: 125. Syntypes ♀, “ Sikkim ”. Lectotype ♀ (SDEI, http:// dx.doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.746957) designated by Taeger (1985: 139). Type locality: India, Sikkim. Paralectotype: ♀ (MNCN_Ent 100189, MNCN Cat. Tipos Nº 2486), same data as the lectotype.
Discussion. There are about 80 specimens of this species in the MNCN, partly labeled “ Sikkim ”, partly without any label (most likely all from the same locality). Very likely these specimens are not former syntypes. Konow mentioned a body size of 10–11 mm; the specimens in the MNCN vary between 7.5 and 10.5 mm. Only one ♀ labeled as asperatus by Konow is considered by us to be a paralectotype (MNCN_Ent 100189). The male of the species is unknown.

Deposition planning at the Diavik Diamond Mine

Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The Diavik Diamond Mine (Diavik), a joint venture of Rio Tinto and Harry Winston, is located on East Island in Lac de Gras in the subarctic climatic region of Canada’s Northwest Territories and has been in operation since 2002. Following diamond extraction from the kimberlite ore, the remaining processed kimberlite materials are stored permanently in a Processed Kimberlite Containment (PKC) Facility. Deposition planning has been an integral part of the design and operation of the PKC Facility. Long term deposition planning has been used for scheduling future piping relocations, dam raising requirements, water management, and closure planning. Short and medium term deposition planning have been used as part of ongoing facility operations to achieve objectives such as maintaining a central pond with suitable depth for process water reclaim, beach management, and for commissioning new areas of the facility. Initially, deposition planning services were provided to Diavik by Golder Associates Ltd. (Golder); however, as the mine matured and gained years of operating experience, the ownership of deposition planning shifted to be undertaken by a Diavik employee with Golder providing training, guidance and review support. During recent planning and commissioning of new areas of the PKC Facility, the ability for in-house deposition planning allowed Diavik to quickly evaluate a number of alternative deposition strategies for these new areas and it allowed operators to react to requirements for short term changes in deposition in these new areas, which is typical when operating a facility in a cold subarctic climate. This paper discusses the process by which operational efficiency was gained at Diavik through a collaborative relationship between Diavik and Golder to train Diavik staff in deposition planning and transition Golder’s role to provide training, guidance and review.[All papers were considered for technical and language appropriateness by the organizing committee.]

description: In this thesis we study integrals of a product of two automorphic forms of weight 2 on a Shimura curve over Q against a function on the curve with logarithmic singularities at CM points obtained as a Borcherds lift.

The results provide evidence for Beilinson's conjectures on special values of L-functions.
On the driven Frenkel-Kontorova model: II. Chaotic sliding and nonequilibrium melting and freezing

description: The dynamical behavior of a weakly damped harmonic chain in a spatially periodic potential (Frenkel-Kontorova model) under the subject of an external force is investigated. We show that the chain can be in a spatio-temporally chaotic state called fluid-sliding state. This is proven by calculating correlation functions and Lyapunov spectra. An effective temperature is attributed to the fluid-sliding state. Even though the velocity fluctuations are Gaussian distributed, the fluid-sliding state is clearly not in equilibrium because the equipartition theorem is violated. We also study the transition between frozen states (stationary solutions) and=7F molten states (fluid-sliding states). The transition is similar to a first-order phase transition, and it shows hysteresis. The depinning-pinning transition (freezing) is a nucleation process. The frozen state contains usually two domains of different particle densities. The pinning-depinning transition (melting) is caused by saddle-node bifurcations of the stationary states. It depends on the history. Melting is accompanied by precursors, called micro-slips, which reconfigurate the chain locally. Even though we investigate the dynamics at zero temperature, the behavior of the Frenkel-Kontorova model is qualitatively similar to the behavior of similar models at nonzero temperature.

description: Quantum simulation promises to address many challenges in fields ranging from quantum chemistry to material science, and high-energy physics, and could be implemented in noisy intermediate-scale quantum devices. A challenge in building good digital quantum simulators is the fidelity of the engineered dynamics given a finite set of elementary operations. Here we present a framework for optimizing the order of operations based on a geometric picture, thus abstracting from the operation details and achieving computational efficiency. Based on this geometric framework, we provide two alternative second-order Trotter expansions, one with optimal fidelity at a short time scale, and the second robust at a long time scale. Thanks to the improved fidelity at different time scale, the two expansions we introduce can form the basis for experimental-constrained digital quantum simulation.

description: Location: JC Room E In this interactive workshop, attendees will learn about different adaptations of the "Cajitas" or "little box" project in courses in the Spanish program at George Mason University. This project, originally created by Alberto Lopez Pulido to use with his students of Chican@ Studies at the University of San Diego, asks students to prepare a container of artifacts that reflect their culture, heritage, and personal experiences for Day of the Dead celebrations. Using a feminist pedagogical approach, the little box project was adapted for students at GMU to address the following challenges: How can we help students apply critical theories from a specific academic discipline to their own lives and experiences? And how can instructors embrace authenticity, particularly when they are from a different cultural background than the discipline in which they teach? The little box project was used as a midterm assignment for students in the course Introduction to Latinx Studies (Fall 2018) in order to engage students in applying critical approaches to understanding representation and the concept of intersectionality in identity. The little boxes also had a significant impact on the student's sense of community in the course and their appreciation for one another's diverse backgrounds. We will also discuss how the project was adapted again in the spring to address the needs of different learners- students in intermediate Spanish courses (Spanish 202, SPRING 2019). By creating their own "cajitas", students were required to become active curators of cultural content. Additionally, they were asked to reflect on and research examples of marginalized representations in art from the Spanish-speaking world. Overall, the project's approach encouraged students to engage more actively with cultures from the Spanish-speaking world while at the same time sharing information about their own culture(s) and backgrounds.

description: A search is performed for production of short-lived particles in e+e- -> XY, with X -> gamma gamma and Y -> ffbar, for scalar X and scalar or vector Y. Model-independent limits in the range of 25-60 femtobarns are presented on sigma (e+e- -> XY) x B(X -> ffbar) for centre-of-mass energies in the range 205-207 GeV. The data from all LEP centre-of-mass energies 88-209 GeV are also interpreted in the context of fermiophobic Higgs boson models, for which a lower mass limit of 105.5 GeV is obtained for a "benchmark" fermiophobic Higgs boson.

description: This dissertation investigates the political stakes of women’s work with sound technologies engaging the body since the 1970s by drawing on frameworks and methodologies from music history, sound studies, feminist theory, performance studies, critical theory, and the history of technology. Although the body has been one of the principal subjects of new musicology since the early 1990s, its role in electronic music is still frequently shortchanged. I argue that the way we hear electro-bodily music has been shaped by extra-musical, often male-controlled contexts. I offer a critique of the gendered and racialized foundations of terminology such as “extended,” “non-human,” and “dis/embodied,” which follows these repertories. In the work of American composers Joan La Barbara, Laurie Anderson, Wendy Carlos, Laetitia Sonami, and Pamela Z, I trace performative interventions in technoscientific paradigms of the late twentieth century.
      The voice is perceived as the locus of the musical body and has long been feminized in musical discourse. The first three chapters explore how this discourse is challenged by compositions featuring the processed, broadcast, and synthesized voices of women. I focus on how these works stretch the limits of traditional vocal epistemology and, in turn, engage the bodies of listeners. In the final chapter on musical performance with gesture control, I question the characterization of hand/arm gesture as a “natural” musical interface and return to the voice, now sampled and mapped onto movement. Drawing on Cyborg feminist frameworks which privilege hybridity and multiplicity, I show that the above composers audit the dominant technoscientific imaginary by constructing musical bodies that are never essentially manifested nor completely erased.

description: Axion dark matter differentiates the phase velocities of the circular-polarized photons. In this Letter, a scheme to measure the phase difference by using a linear optical cavity is proposed. If the scheme is applied to the Fabry-Pérot arm of Advanced LIGO-like (Cosmic-Explorer-like) gravitational wave detector, the potential sensitivity to the axion-photon coupling constant, $g_{\text{a}γ}$, reaches $g_{\text{a}γ} \simeq 8\times10^{-13}$ GeV$^{-1}\, (4 \times 10^{-14}$ GeV$^{-1})$ at the axion mass $m \simeq 3\times 10^{-13}$ eV ($2\times10^{-15}$ eV) and remains at around this sensitivity for 3 orders of magnitude in mass. Furthermore, its sensitivity has a sharp peak reaching $g_{\text{a}γ} \simeq 10^{-14}$ GeV$^{-1}$ $(8\times10^{-17}$ GeV$^{-1})$ at $m = 1.563\times10^{-10}$ eV ($1.563\times10^{-11}$ eV). This sensitivity can be achieved without loosing any sensitivity to gravitational waves.

Site Specifics: Modernist Mediums in Modern Places

Art

description: This dissertation argues that the modernist doctrine of medium specificity, the idea that the autonomy of the arts arises from artworks' investigation of the properties and limits of their materials, grounds artistic production in the place where it was produced. The identity of artistic mediums (writing, painting, sculpture, and land art) depends on their literal placement in physical, geographic environments. Medium specificity requires site specificity. In the aesthetic, art-historical discourses I consider -- Gertrude Stein's account of Cubism, Soviet avant-garde writings on Constructivism, Robert Smithson's texts on landscape, earth art, and Minimalism -- the mediums of art-making are located in places that serve simultaneously as construction sites, sources of raw materials, and models of aesthetic form. They are both the subject of representation and the representational means, the work's content, form, and substance. Art derives its physical properties, its subject matter, and its formal laws from the geography, topography, and geology of the sites at which it is made. Stein retroactively models Picasso's Cubism (and her own plays) on the spatial juxtaposition of houses and mountains in the Spanish landscape. Shklovsky discovers Constructivist principles (and those of his own formalist aesthetics) in the daily life of post-revolutionary St. Petersburg. Smithson finds a model for earth art and for the recovery of history from universal entropy in the "dialectical landscape" of Central Park. For all three of these aesthetic theorists and practitioners, natural processes are entangled with social history, reciprocally modifying each other at the intersections of the built and the found. The specific site is constituted by such intersections and models site-specific art as a legible composition of modern life. By literally taking place, the site-specific artworks these writers describe, theorize, and propose acquire historical specificity, an identity that both indexes the social order that gave rise to them and resists or revises it. This autonomy of the artwork is the stake of site-specificity. An artwork's capacity to resist its present, to be autonomous from or non-identical with the dominant mode of production of its time, is a function of its localization in a socially determined site. A site-specific work is made from materials that are arranged in real space and organized by the laws governing this space. By turning social materials and social laws into its own constructive principle, such a work makes them perceivable and reveals the historical processes at work in them. Manifesting history in its material composition and formal arrangement, the site-specific artwork both remembers and remakes it.
Finsler spacetime geometry in Physics

description: Finsler geometry naturally appears in the description of various physical systems. In this review I divide the emergence of Finsler geometry in physics into three categories: as dual description of dispersion relations, as most general geometric clock and as geometry being compatible with the relevant Ehlers-Pirani-Schild axioms. As Finsler geometry is a straightforward generalisation of Riemannian geometry there are many attempts to use it as generalized geometry of spacetime in physics. However, this generalisation is subtle due to the existence of non-trivial null directions. I review how a pseudo-Finsler spacetime geometry can be defined such that it provides a precise notion of causal curves, observers and their measurements as well as a gravitational field equation determining the Finslerian spacetime geometry dynamically. The construction of such Finsler spacetimes lays they foundation for comparing their predictions with observations, in astrophysics as well as in laboratory experiments.

Sister City as Preservation Strategy

subject: FOS: Civil engineering

description: This thesis examines how sister-city networks, particularly between the United States and Japan, can be used as a strategic tool to raise local heritage awareness and create a platform to promote historic preservation in both communities. By analyzing three case studies of U.S.-Japan sister cities: Seattle, WA - Kobe; Buffalo, NY - Kanazawa; and Elberton, GA - Mure; the thesis identifies that sister cities tend to share similar historical, cultural, or geographic characteristics, and argues that contacts with such overseas counterparts could stimulate cities to rediscover the value of local heritage, reconsider their preservation policies, and foster development of mutual cooperation and methodologies in heritage conservation and management. Following the analysis and comparison of preservation policies and practices in the two countries, the thesis presents major findings and recommendations, as well as a practical model that sister cities could pursue for an improvement on the use of their partnerships. The concluding chapter proposes how citizens in the U.S. and Japanese cities can benefit by learning from their oversea "sisters" in regards to a different set of preservation philosophies, and speaks about the significance of sister-city and other inter-city cooperation in the field of historic preservation in a wider context.

description: Antimicrobial use (AMU) is a main driver of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), one of the major public health concerns in the human and animal sectors. However, it is frequently difficult to demonstrate this association as AMR is also influenced by many factors. Surveillance and monitoring systems on AMU and AMR are essential pillars for global, regional, and national strategies against AMR to control and assess the trends. German data on AMR in clinical and non-clinical E. coli isolates together with usage data (based on the German unit therapy frequency) in broilers and turkeys were collected from monitoring systems between 2014 and 2017. Resistance had been determined using broth microdilution and interpreting the minimum inhibition concentrations according to the EUCAST epidemiological cut off values. The purpose of this work is to find associations between AMU and AMR. Logistic regression analyses were performed to assess the association between the AMU and the dependent variable (AMR) for the antimicrobial panel overlap between the monitoring systems for clinical and non-clinical isolates (ampicillin, ciprofloxacin, colistin, cefotaxime, gentamicin, nalidixic acid tetracycline). A negative association between AMU and AMR was shown to ciprofloxacin and nalidixic acid in non-clinical isolates from broilers. In turkeys, positive associations were found to nalidixic acid and tetracycline in non-clinical isolates and to tetracycline in clinical isolates. Cefotaxime resistance was low in isolates from broilers and turkeys which is in line with cephalosporins not being licensed for use in poultry. In summary, we found some associations of AMU and AMR in E. coli isolates from broilers and turkeys.This study indicates that further data analyses over longer time intervals are required to assess the long-term effects of changes in AMU on the prevalence of AMR.
