description: Strain engineering of perovskite oxide thin films has proven to be an extremely powerful method for enhancing and inducing ferroelectric behavior. In ferroelectric thin films and superlattices, the polarization is intricately linked to crystal structure, but we show here that it can also play an important role in the growth process, influencing growth rates, relaxation mechanisms, electrical properties and domain structures. We have studied this effect in detail by focusing on the properties of BaTiO$_{3}$ thin films grown on very thin layers of PbTiO$_{3}$ using a combination of x-ray diffraction, piezoforce microscopy, electrical characterization and rapid in-situ x-ray diffraction reciprocal space maps during the growth using synchrotron radiation. Using a simple model we show that the changes in growth are driven by the energy cost for the top material to sustain the polarization imposed upon it by the underlying layer, and these effects may be expected to occur in other multilayer systems where polarization is present during growth. Our research motivates the concept of polarization engineering during the growth process as a new and complementary approach to strain engineering.

description: We relate the quantum dynamics of the Bose-Hubbard model (BHM) to the semiclassical nonlinear equations that describe an array of interacting Bose condensates by implementing a standard variational procedure based on the coherent state method. We investigate the dynamics of the two-site BHM from the purely quantum viewpoint by recasting first the model within a spin picture and using then the related dynamical algebra. The latter allows us to study thoroughly the energy spectrum structure and to interpret quantally the classical symmetries of the two-site dynamics. The energy spectrum is also evaluated through various approximations relying on the coherent state approach.

description: Roughly speaking, Ekeland's Variational Principle (EkVP) (J. Math. Anal. Appl. 47 (1974), 324--353) asserts the existence of strict minima of some perturbed versions of lower semicontinuous functions defined on a complete metric space. Later, Pando Georgiev (J. Math. Anal. Appl. \textbf{131} (1988), no.~1, 1--21) and Tomonari Suzuki (J. Math. Anal. Appl. \textbf{320} (2006), no.~2, 787--794 and Nonlinear Anal. \textbf{72} (2010), no.~5, 2204--2209)), proved a Strong Ekeland Variational Principle, meaning the existence of strong minima for such perturbations. Note that Suzuki also considered the case of functions defined on Banach spaces, emphasizing the key-role played by reflexivity.
 In the last years an increasing interest was manifested by many researchers to extend EkVP to the asymmetric case, that is, to quasi-metric spaces (see the references). Applications to optimization, behavioral sciences, and others, were obtained. The aim of the present paper is to extend the strong Ekeland principle, both Georgiev and Suzuki versions, to the quasi-pseudometric case. At the end we ask for the possibility to extend it to asymmetric normed spaces (i.e., the extension of Suzuki's results).

description: Weyl fermions with nonlinear dispersion have appeared in real world systems, such as in the Weyl semi-metals and topological insulators. We consider the most general form of Dirac operators, and study its topological properties embedded in the chiral anomaly, in the index theorem, and in the odd-dimensional partition function, by employing the heat kernel. We find that all of these topological quantities are enhanced by a winding number defined by the Dirac operator in the momentum space, regardless of the spacetime dimensions. The chiral anomaly in $d=3+1$, in particular, is also confirmed via the conventional Feynman diagram. These interconnected results allow us to clarify the relationship between the chiral anomaly and the Chern number of the Berry connection, under dispute in some recent literatures, and also lead to a compact proof of the Nielsen-Ninomiya theorem.

In-situ stabilization/solidification using adsorbents for treatment of soils impacted by per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) : a bench scale study

description: Studies on PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) remediation are of prime importance owing to the carcinogenic effects of these substances on humans. However, the recalcitrance and persistence of PFAS make effective remediation extremely challenging. In-situ soil stabilization/solidification (ISS) techniques based on desorption/partitioning of PFAS from soil, offer great potential in controlling contaminant migration. Though soil mixing has been used in the successful immobilization of contaminants other than PFAS in the past, the focus of this study is to assess if ISS in conjunction with adsorbents, can be extended for the containment of PFAS impacted soils. Hence as a first step, leaching and soil mixing under different environmental factors like pH, time, and pore-fluid composition is simulated on a bench scale. This was facilitated by modifying the existing leach test methods specified by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) Leaching Environmental Assessment Framework (LEAF). The broader objective of these experiments in simulating PFAS remediation was to arrive at an optimal mix proportion of a chemical grout that reduced the soil PFAS levels to a safe threshold (USEPA Health Advisory Limit, HAL) and also met a minimum strength recommendation. For doing so, two novel adsorbents: Fluoro-Sorb® Gen-II (foaming variant) and Fluoro-Sorb® Gen-II (non-foaming variant), and a binder: Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) were employed. Consequently, the kinetics and equilibrium of liquid-solid partitioning in soil mixes prepared with different proportions of adsorbents and binder were studied. The possibility of achieving desirable results by performing soil mixing in the absence of cement was also explored. Furthermore, the structural integrity of soil was tested by characterizing the compressive strength of remediated soils. PFAS concentration in the leachate extracted from different mixes was quantified using High Performance Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (HPLC-MS). The untreated soil had an available PFAS leaching load of 1.5×10⁵ ng/L (1500 ng/g). Soils treated with 8% and 10% of cement and 5% (w/w% of dry soil)Fluoro-Sorb® Gen-II (foaming variant) yielded a satisfactory strength exceeding the USEPA recommendation of 50 psi. When sampled at a liquid to solids (L/S) ratio of 10 as per USEPA Method 1316, the available PFAS content in these mixes was reduced to less than the USEPA HAL of 70 ng/L. At a given adsorbent dosage (3% and 5%), mixes treated without OPC yielded a lower PFAS concentration than the ones prepared with OPC indicating that the alkaline nature of cement binders can hinder the PFAS removal efficiency of the treated mix. Thus, the obtained experimental data could be used to determine optimum mix design while accounting for PFAS remediation and strength retention in ISS stabilized soils.

description: The differential rotation of the sun, as deduced from helioseismology, exhibits a prominent radial shear layer near the top of the convection zone wherein negative radial gradients of angular velocity are evident in the low- and mid-latitude regions spanning the outer 5% of the solar radius. Supergranulation and related scales of turbulent convection are likely to play a significant role in the maintenance of such radial gradients, and may influence dynamics on a global scale in ways that are not yet understood. To investigate such dynamics, we have constructed a series of three-dimensional numerical simulations of turbulent compressible convection within spherical shells, dealing with shallow domains to make such modeling computationally tractable. These simulations are the first models of solar convection in a spherical geometry that can explicitly resolve both the largest dynamical scales of the system (of order the solar radius) as well as smaller-scale convective overturning motions comparable in size to solar supergranulation (20--40 Mm). We find that convection within these simulations spans a large range of horizontal scales, and that the radial angular velocity gradient in these models is typically negative, especially in low- and mid-latitude regions. Analyses of the angular momentum transport indicates that such gradients are maintained by Reynolds stresses associated with the convection, transporting angular momentum inward to balance the outward transport achieved by viscous diffusion and large-scale flows in the meridional plane. We suggest that similar mechanisms associated with smaller-scale convection in the sun may contribute to the maintenance of the observed radial shear layer located immediately below the solar photosphere.

description: An accurate algorithm is proposed to improve the prediction of a particle in collision with a moving wall within the direct simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) framework for the simulation of unsteady rarefied flows. This algorithm is able to predict the particle-wall collision in a coupled manner by removing the assumption employed by the approximate algorithm, in that the wall is frozen during the collision. The trajectory equation of the particle is theoretically constructed in a moving object coordinate system. It can accurately describe the geometries of the collision between a particle and an arbitrarily shaped object of which the motion incorporates both translation and rotation, thus allowing to deal with complex problems. In contrast, the approximate algorithm ignores the effect of the moving wall on the particle movement during the collision, and therefore induces error that is an increasing function of the wall velocity. Four rarefied flow problems are applied to validate the accurate algorithm. It is shown that the algorithm can produce results perfectly consistent with the Maxwellian theoretical solutions and ensure particle conservation to avoid gas leakage. It is also shown in a three-dimensional case of a re-entry module that the steady simulation fails to reproduce the hysteresis effect while the unsteady simulation using the accurate algorithm can do that, indicating that the unsteady simulation with an appropriate algorithm as proposed in the present work is essentially required in such applications.

description: The purpose of this letter is to point out an argument which may ultimately lead to a rigorous proof of the Penrose inequality in the general case. The argument is a variation of Geroch's original proposal for a proof of the positive energy theorem which was later adapted by Jang and Wald to apply to initial data sets containing apparent horizons. The new input is to dispense with the a priori restriction to an initial data set and to use the four-dimensional structure of spacetime in an essential way.

description: We consider a two-dimensional Bose gas formed in a planar atomic trap in conditions where the two-dimensional scattering length exceeds all other microscopic length scales in the system and, accordingly, the gas parameter assumes relatively high values. We show that, unlike in the three-dimensional case, for sufficiently low areal densities the two-dimensional gas remains stable against collapse even in the resonant regime. Furthermore, we evaluate the three-body recombination rate that sets the upper limit for the life-time of two-dimensional resonant atomic condensate.

description: The magnetic anisotropy of a novel Mn(II)-[3x3] grid complex was investigated by means of high-field torque magnetometry. Torque vs. field curves at low temperatures demonstrate a ground state with S > 0 and exhibit a torque step due to a field induced level-crossing at B* \approx 7.5 T, accompanied by an abrupt change of magnetic anisotropy from easy-axis to hard-axis type. These observations are discussed in terms of a spin Hamiltonian formalism.

description: The carriers of WWV and WWVH are used for HF skywave ionospheric research. Both undergo Doppler shifts in response to changing solar radiation on the ionosphere that depends on the actual path from transmitter to receiver. There are many times when a receive location can receive both WWV and WWVH simultaneously. Because they are precisely on the same frequency their spectra overlap making it difficult to impossible to discern which spectral contributions belong to which carrier. However WWV and WWVH both transmit audio sidetones in an interlaced schedule in which tone assignment changes every minute. This paper describes spectral separation accomplished through a deinterlace process using two receivers and two spectrographs.

Androgens

description: Sexual dimorphism in brain and behavior are often among the most conspicuous forms of intraspecific variation. Gonadal state often shape differences between the sexes. Steroids may directly lead to changes in most of levels of biological organization. In the vertebrate brain for example, expression of steroid receptors and its ligands may lead to direct consequences from the motor systems to the limbic system. The songs of Alston’s singing mouse (Scotinomys teguina) are sexually dimorphic and are composed of a series of rapidly repeated, broad-bandith, frequency-modulated notes. Males sing more often than females. Castration makes songs softer, shorter, and less common. This decrease in performance can be rescued by the application of dihydrotestosterone suggesting that androgen receptors play a critical role. In this dissertation, I seek to further understand the role of the androgen receptor in influencing the singing behavior of this species by three interconnected aims. First, we map the sites of androgen sensitivity along a pathway that spans from limbic structures to vocal control regions and quantify differences in nuclear androgen receptor-like labeling in male and female brains. Second, we use a transsynaptic virus to examine how the forebrain connects to the motor control of the jaw and larynx. Third, we manipulate the hormonal milieu by castrating and then implanting DHT to observe changes in both brain and behavior. Together we gained better insight into not only how androgen receptors mediate changes to vocalization but also how gonadal state lead to variation between the sexes.

description: Motivated by the challenges that arise in controlling mobile agents operating in areas with nonuniform time-varying densities, in this paper we propose a distributed steering control framework for a network of autonomous mobile multi-agents whose members have to deploy and allocate themselves in critical positions over a given region in accordance with a time-varying coverage density function. Our method is based on a two-level description of the multi-agent network. The second level reflects the macroscopic description of the network which corresponds to the probability distribution of the agents' locations over a given region in which the network of multi-agents is treated as one unit. The second level reflects the microscopic description of the network which is described in terms of the collection of all individual positions of all of its agents. Thus, the goal of the multi-agent network is to attain a spatial distribution that matches the reference coverage density function (macroscopic high-level control problem) through the local interactions of the agents at the individual level (microscopic low-level control problem). The high-level control problem is addressed by associating it with a desired reference Gaussian probability density. Moreover, the low control problem is addressed by utilizing the Lloyd's algorithm with a time-varying coverage density function. Therefore, the control laws provided would allow the agents to achieve a desired macroscopic behavior of the network, using only distributed algorithms and local information. Each agent will control its own velocity, based only on knowledge of a few neighboring agents, but in such a way that a desired probability distribution is obtained. Finally, a set of simulation results are provided to show the convergence of the mobile agents to their critical locations and to show the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

description: In the past decade, the field of quantum machine learning has drawn significant attention due to the prospect of bringing genuine computational advantages to now widespread algorithmic methods. However, not all domains of machine learning have benefited equally from quantum enhancements. Notably, deep learning and reinforcement learning, despite their tremendous success in the classical domain, both individually and combined, remain relatively unaddressed by the quantum community. Arguably, one reason behind this is the systematic use in these domains of models and methods without prominent computational bottlenecks, leaving little room for quantum improvements. In this work, we study the state-of-the-art neural-network approaches for reinforcement learning with quantum enhancements in mind. We demonstrate the substantial learning advantage that models with a sampling bottleneck can provide over conventional neural network architectures in complex learning environments. These so-called energy-based models, like deep energy-based reinforcement learning, and deep projective simulation that we also introduce in this work, effectively allow to trade off learning performance for efficiency of computation. To alleviate the additional computational costs, we propose to leverage future and near-term quantum algorithms, resulting in overall more advantageous learning algorithms. This is achieved using cutting-edge and new quantum computing machinery to speed-up classical sampling methods and by employing generalized models to gain an additional quantum advantage.

description: We propose an efficient ${\cal O}(N^2)$-parameter ansatz that consists of a sequence of exponential operators, each of which is a unitary variant of Neuscamman's cluster Jastrow operator. The ansatz can also be derived as a decomposition of T$_2$ amplitudes of the unitary coupled cluster with generalized singles and doubles, which gives a near full-CI energy, and reproduces it by extending the exponential operator sequence. Because the cluster Jastrow operators are expressed by a product of number operators and the derived Pauli operator products, namely the Jordan-Wigner strings, are all commutative, it does not require the Trotter approximation to implement to a quantum circuit and should be a good candidate for the variational quantum eigensolver algorithm by a near-term quantum computer. The accuracy of the ansatz was examined for dissociation of a nitrogen dimer, and compared with other existing ${\cal O}(N^2)$-parameter ansatzs. Not only the original ansatzs defined in the second-quantization form but also their Trotterized variants, in which the cluster amplitudes are optimized to minimize the energy obtained with a few, typically single, Trotter steps, were examined by quantum circuit simulators.

In particular, the group operations which entangle a two qubit pure state will be given, as well as the corresponding manifold that the operations parameterize. We also give the volume of this manifold, as well as the hypothesized volume for the set of all entangled two qubit pure and mixed states. Extension of this work to the qubit/qutrit system will also be given.

description: This study uses a large randomized field experiment on formal savings adoption in Malawi to identify the effects of high-liquidity savings accounts on agricultural investment decisions and household welfare outcomes among poor farming households. The results show that formal savings adoption can have a sharp positive effect on use of farming inputs such as fertilizer, seedlings, and hired labor. The findings also suggest these changes in crop production decisions are linked to significant improvements in food consumption and increased assets. Despite a surge of interest in savings-driven financial services for the poor among researchers and policy-makers, there are many open questions regarding the effects of high-liquidity savings accounts on farm investments, production decisions, and welfare outcomes among farming households in the developing world. This paper helps fill that gap

Decision Making Capabilities

description: India is a developing country. In most of the developing countries agriculture is one of the main occupations, the Indian the scenario is more or less similar. As per the FAO report 2017-2018 agriculture and is allied source is the largest source of livelihood in India. In India about 70 percent of rural population is still depended on the agriculture among them a large number of populations is women. About 82 percent of the farmers are small or marginal farmer although India is the largest producer of Milk, Jute, pulses in the world and 2nd largest producer of rice, wheat, sugarcane, cotton and groundnuts. According to 68th round of National Sample Survey in 2013 indicate that in rural area 59 per cent men and 75 per cent women are engaged in agriculture. Women play an important role in agriculture but still they are lag behind in achieving job and wage in comparison to men. So, the present study has been attempting to make understand the gender inequality, socio economic condition and decision-making process in an agricultural society of Purba-Banasgaon-Kismat village of Phansidewa Block of Darjeeling. The study is based on primary and secondary data. Women are interviewed randomly of the village by scheduled questionnaire and observation method. The collecetd data has been represented by using descriptive frequency (with weighted in percentage) table constructed in M.S. excel, 2007. Regression analysis has been done to show the relationship between education and composite average score of decision making status of the surveyed women in Purba-Banasgaon-Kismat village. Most of the surveyed women belongs to schedule caste category and most of them are illiterate. Almost half of the women households cum agricultural worker. The decision making capabilities of the surveyed women is not quite good, but the result showed education play a key role in their decision making capabilities.

description: Borisinia Korb, 2013, syn. nov. is junior objective synonym of
Palaeophilotes Forster, 1938
The genus Borisinia was described by Korb (2013) to include a single species described earlier under the name Lycaena triphysina Staudinger, [1892]. Korb assumed that the genus name Palaeophilotes Forster, 1938, previously proposed for the same species, was unavailable under the Code of Zoological Nomenclature as having been described after 1931 without description and/or diagnosis. In our opinion, Forster's description (Forster 1938), although not ideal, ensures the availability of the genus name Palaeophilotes.
As Article 13 of the Code states, names published after 1930 “must be accompanied by a description or definition that states in words characters that are purported to differentiate the taxon” (ICZN 1999). Such characters are indicated in the description. First, this is the structure of the genital apparatus of the males (“nach dem Bau des m# Genitals völlig isoliert”) (Forster 1938, page 105). Additionally, Forster states in words that the only species of the genus Palaeophilotes (Palaeophilotes triphysina) and the only species of the genus Praephilotes (Praephilotes anthracias) share such unique characters as the absence of blue color and androconia on the wings. Then, on the page 106 of the same article, Forster notes the unique feature of Praephilotes anthracias (“Der viel gestrecktere Flügelschnitt,” thus completing the diagnosis of and the formal description to satisfy Art. 13.
Thus, taking into account the availability of the name Palaeophilotes, the name Borisinia is a junior objective synonym of Palaeophilotes, since it is based on the same type species.
