description: We study the disappearance of the away-side peak of the di-hadron correlation function in p+A vs p+p collisions at forward rapidities, when the scaterring process presents a manifest dilute-dense asymmetry. We improve the state-of-the-art description of this phenomenon in the framework of the Color Glass Condensate (CGC), for hadrons produced nearly back-to-back. In that case, the gluon content of the saturated nuclear target can be described with transverse-momentum-dependent gluon distributions, whose small-$x$ evolution we calculate numerically by solving the Balitsky-Kovchegov equation with running coupling corrections. We first show that our formalism provides a good description of the disappearance of the away-side azimuthal correlations in d+Au collisions observed at BNL Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) energies. Then, we predict the away-side peak of upcoming p+Au data at $~\sqrt[]{s}=200$ GeV to be suppressed by about a factor 2 with respect to p+p collisions, and we propose to study the rapidity dependence of that suppression as a complementary strong evidence of gluon saturation in experimental data.

description: Modeling is crucial to most disciplines. It has been widely researched, taught, and practiced for many years. One should think that with all the intelligent works, published in thousands of papers, hardly any fundamental question remains open.However, even a simple sounding question like 'When is a model a conceptual one?' has no universally valid or at least broadly accepted answer. Given the many modeling languages and tools offered as ``conceptual'', such question may seem quixotic and academic. However, a scientist should be concerned if he or she researches and teaches in the field of modeling but cannot give an incontrovertible answer. We report here extensions of the work that should facilitate answering basic questions of this kind. It is based on a taxonomy of the characteristics of (conceptual) models and the ``triptych paradigm'' assuming that conceptual modeling consists of a central model part, the instrumentation by a language, and the inherited world semantics within the given application. This leads to the triptych dimensions of models, their linguistic representation, and the meaning and semantic grounding of each intensional model element. It also allows a systematic view of the hierarchy-creating relationships occurring in each dimension.

description: We investigate the critical behaviour of a three-dimensional lattice $\chiUϕ_3$ model in the chiral limit. The model consists of a staggered fermion field, a U(1) gauge field (with coupling parameter $β$) and a complex scalar field (with hopping parameter $κ$). Two different methods are used: 1) fits of the chiral condensate and the mass of the neutral unconfined composite fermion to an equation of state and 2) finite size scaling investigations of the Lee-Yang zeros of the partition function in the complex fermion mass plane. For strong gauge coupling ($β< 1$) the critical exponents for the chiral phase transition are determined. We find strong indications that the chiral phase transition is in one universality class in this $β$ interval: that of the three-dimensional Gross-Neveu model with two fermions. Thus the continuum limit of the $\chiUϕ_3$ model defines here a nonperturbatively renormalizable gauge theory with dynamical mass generation. At weak gauge coupling and small $κ$, we explore a region in which the mass in the neutral fermion channel is large but the chiral condensate on finite lattices very small. If it does not vanish in the infinite volume limit, then a continuum limit with massive unconfined fermion might be possible in this region, too.

Fractional Branes and Boundary States in Orbifold Theories

description: We study the D-brane spectrum of N=2 string orbifold theories using the boundary state formalism. The construction is carried out for orbifolds with isolated singularities, non-isolated singularities and orbifolds with discrete torsion. Our results agree with the corresponding K-theoretic predictions when they are available and generalize them when they are not. This suggests that the classification of boundary states provides a sort of "quantum K-theory" just as chiral rings in CFT provide "quantum" generalizations of cohomology. We discuss the identification of these states with D-branes wrapping holomorphic cycles in the large radius limit of the CFT moduli space. The example C^3/Z_3 is worked out in full detail using local mirror symmetry techniques. We find a precise correspondence between fractional branes at the orbifold point and configurations of D-branes described by vector bundles on the exceptional P^2 cycle.

description: Dihadron angular correlations in forward $pA$ collisions have been considered as one of the most sensitive observables to the gluon saturation effects. In general, both parton shower effects and saturation effects are responsible for the back-to-back dihadron angular de-correlations. With the recent progress in the saturation formalism, we can incorporate the parton shower effect by adding the corresponding Sudakov factor in the saturation framework. In this paper, we carry out the first detailed numerical study in this regard, and find a very good agreement with previous RHIC $pp$ and $dAu$ data. This study can help us to establish a baseline in $pp$ collisions which contains little saturation effects, and further make predictions for dihadron angular correlations in $pAu$ collisions, which will allow to search for the signal of parton saturation.

description: We present first results on the calculation of fermionic spectral functions from analytically continued flow equations within the Functional Renormalization Group approach. Our method is based on the same analytic continuation from imaginary to real frequencies that was developed and used previously for bosonic spectral functions. In order to demonstrate the applicability of the method also for fermionic correlations we apply it here to the real-time quark propagator in the quark-meson model and calculate the corresponding quark spectral functions in the vacuum.

description: In this work we consider bipartite noisy bound entangled states with positive partial transpose, that is, such a state can be written as a convex combination of an edge state and a separable state. In particular, we present schemes to construct distinct classes of noisy bound entangled states which satisfy the range criterion. As a consequence of the present study we also identify noisy bound entangled states which do not satisfy the range criterion. All of the present states are constituted by exploring different types of product bases.

description: Purpose: An approach for the automated segmentation of visceral adipose tissue (VAT) and subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) in multicenter water-fat MRI scans of the abdomen was investigated, using two different neural network architectures. Methods: The two fully convolutional network architectures U-Net and V-Net were trained, evaluated and compared on the water-fat MRI data. Data of the study Tellus with 90 scans from a single center was used for a 10-fold cross-validation in which the most successful configuration for both networks was determined. These configurations were then tested on 20 scans of the multicenter study beta-cell function in JUvenile Diabetes and Obesity (BetaJudo), which involved a different study population and scanning device. Results: The U-Net outperformed the used implementation of the V-Net in both cross-validation and testing. In cross-validation, the U-Net reached average dice scores of 0.988 (VAT) and 0.992 (SAT). The average of the absolute quantification errors amount to 0.67% (VAT) and 0.39% (SAT). On the multi-center test data, the U-Net performs only slightly worse, with average dice scores of 0.970 (VAT) and 0.987 (SAT) and quantification errors of 2.80% (VAT) and 1.65% (SAT). Conclusion: The segmentations generated by the U-Net allow for reliable quantification and could therefore be viable for high-quality automated measurements of VAT and SAT in large-scale studies with minimal need for human intervention. The high performance on the multicenter test data furthermore shows the robustness of this approach for data of different patient demographics and imaging centers, as long as a consistent imaging protocol is used.

description: Iris japonica Thunberg is one of the horticultural species belonging to the Iris genus and Iridaceae family. Previous studies have revealed its hepatoprotective activity and ornamental values. However, little genetic and genomic information about this species is available. Here, to decipher the chloroplast genome and reveal its evolutionary characteristics, we sequenced, de novo assembled, and comprehensively analyzed the chloroplast genome of I. japonica. The genome was 152,453 bp in length and displayed a circular structure with a large single-copy region, a small single-copy region, and two inverted repeat regions. It contained 131 genes, including 85 protein-coding genes, eight ribosomal RNA genes, and 38 transfer RNA genes. We also identified 23 microsatellite repeat sequences, 34 tandem repeat sequences, and 60 dispersed repeat sequences in the chloroplast genome of I. japonica. Sequence divergence analyses of the chloroplast genomes of 20 Iris species revealed that the top four most highly variable regions were ndhC-trnV-UAC, rpl22-rps19, rps16-trnQ-UUG, and trnG-UCC-trnR-UCU. Phylogenetic analysis showed that I. japonica was most closely related to I. tectorum. This study reported a new chloroplast genome of I. japonica and performed comparative analyses of 20 Iris chloroplast genomes. The results would facilitate the evolutionary research and development of molecular markers for Iris species.

Ultrafast X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy of Strongly Correlated Systems: Core Hole Effect

description: In recent years, ultrafast pump-probe spectroscopy has provided insightful information about nonequilibrium dynamics of excitations in materials. In a typical experiment of time-resolved x-ray absorption spectroscopy, the systems are excited by a femtosecond laser pulse (pump pulse) followed by an x-ray (probe pulse) after a time delay to measure the absorption spectra of the photoexcited systems. We present a theory for nonequilibrium x-ray absorption spectroscopy in one-dimensional strongly correlated systems. The core hole created by x-ray is modeled as an additional effective potential of the core hole site which changes the spectrum qualitatively. In equilibrium, the spectrum reveals the charge gap at half-filling and the metal-insulator transition in the presence of the core hole effect. Furthermore, a pump-probe scheme is introduced to drive the system out of equilibrium before the x-ray probe. The effects of the pump pulse with varying frequencies, shapes and fluences are discussed for the dynamics of strongly correlated systems in and out of resonance. The spectrum indicates that the driven insulating state has a metallic droplet around the core hole. The rich structures of the nonequilibrium x-ray absorption spectrum give more insight into the dynamics of electronic structures.

description: It is well known that it is impossible to clone an arbitrary quantum state. However, this inability does not lead directly to no-cloning of quantum coherence. Here, we show that it is impossible to clone the coherence of an arbitrary quantum state which is a stronger statement than the 'no-cloning of quantum state'. In particular, with ancillary system as machine state, we show that it is impossible to clone the coherence of states whose coherence is greater than the coherence of the known states on which the transformations are defined. Also, we characterize the class of states for which coherence cloning will be possible for a given choice of machine. Furthermore, we find the maximum range of states whose coherence can be cloned perfectly. The impossibility proof also holds when we do not include machine states.

description: In pure superfluid $^3$He-B at ultra-low temperatures, quartz tuning fork oscillator response is expected to saturate when the dissipation caused by the superfluid medium becomes substantially smaller than the internal dissipation of the oscillator. However, even with small amount of $^4$He covering the surfaces, we have observed saturation already at significantly higher temperatures than anticipated, where we have other indicators to prove that the $^3$He liquid is still cooling. We found that this anomalous behavior has a rather strong pressure dependence, and it practically disappears above the crystallization pressure of $^4$He. We also observed a maximum in the fork resonance frequency at temperatures where the transition in quasiparticle flow from the hydrodynamic to the ballistic regime is expected. We suggest that such anomalous features derive from the superfluid $^4$He film on the oscillator surface.

A Dark Vector Resonance at CLIC

description: One of the main problems in Particle Physics is to understand the origin and nature of Dark Matter. An exciting possibility is to consider that the Dark Matter belongs to a new complex but hidden sector. In this paper, we assume the existence of a strongly interacting dark sector consisting on a new scalar doublet and new vector resonances, in concordance with a model recently proposed by our group. Since in a previous work it was found that it is very challenging to find the new vector resonances at the LHC, here we study the possibility of finding them at the a future Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) running at $\sqrt{s}=3$ TeV. We consider two distinct scenarios: when the non-standard scalars are heavy, the dark resonance is intense enough to make its discovery possible at CLIC when the resonance mass is in the range $[2000,3000]$ GeV. In the second scenario, when the non-standard scalars are light, the new vector boson is too broad to be recognized as a resonance and is not detectable except when the mass of the scalars is close to (but smaller than) a half of the resonance mass and the scale of the dark sector is high. In all the positive cases, less than a tenth of the maximum integrated luminosity is needed to reach the discovery level. Finally, we also comment about the mono-$Z$ production.

description: During the COVID-19 outbreak, PCR tests were widely used for large-scale testing and screening. Yet, this technique requires bulky and time-consuming procedures to prepare the samples collected from the patients before their analysis by well-trained experts with expensive and specific equipment. PCR is therefore not competitive as a technique of detection for a widespread and rapid use in point-of-care sites. Thus, the COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the need for cheap and easy-to-implement biosensors. Surface plasmon resonance based sensors were suggested as a promising alternative in recent years. Indeed, they enable real-time and label-free detection of a wide range of analytes. That explains their widespread use in various fields of applications such as pharmacology, toxicology, food safety, and diagnosis. This thesis proposes and demonstrates a new plasmonic configuration of detection, which can address challenges posed by point-of-care settings. The gratings used as transducers in this configuration were fabricated based on laser interference lithography combined with a nanoimprinting process. The responses of these nanostructures interrogated by a p-polarized light beam result in a transfer of energy between two diffracted orders over an angular scan. This optical phenomenon termed as “optical switch”, was theoretically and experimentally investigated and optimized. The principle of detection based on this specific configuration was demonstrated for the detection of small variations in the bulk refractive index with solutions comprised of different ratios of de-ionized water and glycerol. A limit of detection in the range of 10−6 RIU was achieved. In addition, preliminary bio-assays obtained by combining this configuration with a functionalization are presented and demonstrate the selectivity and the potential of this new plasmonic configuration for biosensing applications. This thesis work paves the way for the use of the optical switch configuration as a biosensor aligned with low-cost manufacturing and relevant for diagnosing in point-of-care sites.
Strong quadrature squeezing and quantum amplification in a coupled Bose-Einstein condensate- optomechanical cavity via coherent modulation

description: We consider an optomechanical cavity with a movable end-mirror as a quantum mechanical oscillator (MO) containing an interacting cigar-shaped Bose-Eisenstein condensate (BEC). It is assumed that both the MO and the BEC interact with the radiation pressure of the cavity field in the red-detuned and weak coupling regimes while the two-body atomic collisions frequency of the BEC and the mechanical spring coefficient of the MO are coherently modulated. By analyzing the scattering matrix we find that a frequency-dependent squeezing is induced to the three subsystems only due to the coherent modulations. In the largely different cooperativities regime together with strong modulations, the mechanical mode of the MO and the Bogoliubov mode of the BEC exhibit quadrature squeezing which can surpass the so-called 3dB limit (up to 75 dB) with high robustness to the thermal noises. Surprisingly, in this regime by controlling the system and modulation parameters, a very high degree of squeezing (up to 16 dB) together with high purity of quantum state for the output cavity field is achievable. Furthermore, one can attain simultaneous strong quantum amplification, added-noise suppression, and controllable gain-bandwidth for the complementary quadratures of squeezed ones in the subsystems.

description: Many computer graphics problems require computing geometric shapes subject to certain constraints. This often results in non-linear and non-convex optimization problems with globally coupled variables, which pose great challenge for interactive applications. Local-global solvers developed in recent years can quickly compute an approximate solution to such problems, making them an attractive choice for applications that prioritize efficiency over accuracy. However, these solvers suffer from lower convergence rate, and may take a long time to compute an accurate result. In this paper, we propose a simple and effective technique to accelerate the convergence of such solvers. By treating each local-global step as a fixed-point iteration, we apply Anderson acceleration, a well-established technique for fixed-point solvers, to speed up the convergence of a local-global solver. To address the stability issue of classical Anderson acceleration, we propose a simple strategy to guarantee the decrease of target energy and ensure its global convergence. In addition, we analyze the connection between Anderson acceleration and quasi-Newton methods, and show that the canonical choice of its mixing parameter is suitable for accelerating local-global solvers. Moreover, our technique is effective beyond classical local-global solvers, and can be applied to iterative methods with a common structure. We evaluate the performance of our technique on a variety of geometry optimization and physics simulation problems. Our approach significantly reduces the number of iterations required to compute an accurate result, with only a slight increase of computational cost per iteration. Its simplicity and effectiveness makes it a promising tool for accelerating existing algorithms as well as designing efficient new algorithms.

description: Recently, there are more and more organizations offering quantum-cloud services, where any client can access a quantum computer remotely through the internet. In the near future, these cloud servers may claim to offer quantum computing power out of reach of classical devices. An important task is to make sure that there is a real quantum computer running, instead of a simulation by a classical device. Here we explore the applicability of a cryptographic verification scheme that avoids the need of implementing a full quantum algorithm or requiring the clients to communicate with quantum resources. In this scheme, the client encodes a secret string in a scrambled IQP (instantaneous quantum polynomial) circuit sent to the quantum cloud in the form of classical message, and verify the computation by checking the probability bias of a class of output strings generated by the server. We provided a theoretical extension and implemented the scheme on a 5-qubit NMR quantum processor in the laboratory and a 5-qubit and 16-qubit processors of the IBM quantum cloud. We found that the experimental results of the NMR processor can be verified by the scheme with about $2.5\%$ error, after noise compensation by standard techniques. However, the fidelity of the IBM quantum cloud is currently too low to pass the test (about $42\%$ error). This verification scheme shall become practical when servers claim to offer quantum-computing resources that can achieve quantum supremacy.

Optimizing the Nonlinear Optical Response of Plasmonic Metasurfaces

description: The nonlinear optical response of materials to exciting light is enhanced by resonances between the incident laser frequencies and the energy levels of the excited material. Traditionally, in molecular nonlinear spectroscopy one tunes the input laser frequencies to the molecular energy levels for highly enhanced doubly or triply resonant interactions. With metasurfaces the situation is different, and by proper design of the nanostructures, one may tune the material energy levels to match the incoming laser frequencies. Here we use multi-parameter genetic algorithm methodologies to optimize the nonlinear Four Wave Mixing response, and show that the intuitive conventional approach of trying to match the transmission spectrum to the relevant laser frequencies indeed leads to strong enhancement, but not necessarily to the optimal design. We demonstrate, experimentally and by direct nonlinear field calculations, that the near field mode distribution and spatial modes overlap are the dominant factor for optimized design.

description: Puerarin is a phytochemical with various pharmacological effects, but poor water solubility and low oral bioavailability limited usage of puerarin. The purpose of this study was to develop a new microemulsion (ME) based on phospholipid complex technique to improve the oral bioavailability of puerarin. Puerarin phospholipid complex (PPC) was prepared by a solvent evaporation method and was characterized by X-ray diffraction and infrared spectroscopy. Pseudo-ternary phase diagrams were constructed to investigate the effects of different oil on the emulsifying performance of the blank ME. Intestinal mucosal injury test was conducted to evaluate safety of PPC-ME, and no sign of damage on duodenum, jejunum and ileum of rats was observed using hematoxylin-eosin staining. In pharmacokinetic study of PPC-ME, a significantly greater Cmax (1.33 µg/mL) was observed when compared to puerarin (Cmax 0.55 µg/mL) or PPC (Cmax 0.70 µg/mL); the relative oral bioavailability of PPC-ME was 3.16-fold higher than puerarin. In conclusion, the ME combined with the phospholipid complex technique was a promising strategy to enhance the oral bioavailability of puerarin.

Moduli space singularities for $3d$ $\mathcal{N} = 4$ circular quiver gauge theories

description: The singularity structure of the Coulomb and Higgs branches of good $3d$ $\mathcal{N}=4$ circular quiver gauge theories (CQGTs) with unitary gauge groups is studied. The central method employed is the Kraft--Procesi transition. CQGTs are described as a generalisation of a class of linear quivers. This class degenerates into the familiar class $T_ρ^σ(SU(N))$ in the linear case, however the circular case does not have the degeneracy and so the class of CQGTs contains many more theories and much more structure. We describe a collection of good, unitary, CQGTs from which the entire class can be found using Kraft--Procesi transitions. The singularity structure of a general member of this collection is fully determined, encompassing the singularity structure of a generic CQGT. Higher-level Hasse diagrams are introduced in order to write the results compactly. In higher-level Hasse diagrams, single nodes represent lattices of nilpotent orbit Hasse diagrams and edges represent traversing structure between lattices. The results generalise the case of linear quiver moduli spaces which are known to be nilpotent varieties of $\mathfrak{sl}_n$.

title: Social Disadvantage and Family Violence: Neighborhood Effects on Attitudes About Intimate Partner Violence and Corporal Punishment

description: Family violence is widespread and occurs everyday in the United States. The consequences of the various forms of family violence and physical discipline are both immediate and long lasting. As nearly every family is victimized by some type of family violence (Payne and Gainey 2005), it is important that all dynamics of family life be explored. Extending the focus of family violence risk factors to include neighborhood experiences allows for the potential development of different social policies. The purpose of this thesis was to analyze the effects of perceived neighborhood characteristics, in addition to a macro-level measure of crime, on the acceptance of using violence within the family. Data from the 2000 census, Norfolk Police department, and Norfolk Resident's Attitudes about Crime Survey were used to conduct univariate, bivariate, and multivariate analyses.

Bivariate tests revealed an association between approval for intimate partner violence and support for corporal punishment. Independent t-tests show differences in approval of intimate partner violence by level of neighborhood crime, a history of child maltreatment, and race. Support for corporal punishment varied by perceived social disorder, gender, and race. Attitudes toward family violence did not vary by level of perceived collective efficacy.

Multiple linear regression analysis show that support for corporal punishment and race were significant variables in predicting approval for intimate partner violence. Multivariate results also indicate that approval for intimate partner violence, gender, and race are salient factors in determining one's support for corporal punishment.

The results of this thesis indicate that individual level factors are important in determining attitudes toward family violence. Implications for policy, research, and theory are discussed.

description: Firstly, we consider Yang-Mills theory on ${\mathbb R}^{3,1}$ with an adjoint Higgs field spontaneously breaking a compact gauge group $G$ to a subgroup $H$, so that the Higgs vacuum manifold forms the coset $G/H$. It is shown that in the low-energy limit, when the Higgs vacuum value is large, the 4d Yang-Mills-Higgs theory reduces to the Faddeev sigma model on ${\mathbb R}^{3,1}$ with $G/H$ as target. Its action contains the standard two-derivative sigma-model term as well as the four-derivative Skyrme-type term, which stabilizes solutions against scaling. Secondly, we put the Higgs field in the bi-fundamental representation of $G=\textrm{U}_+(N)\times\textrm{U}_-(N)$, realizing the simplest $A_2$-type quiver gauge theory. Breaking $G$ to $H{=}\,\textrm{diag}(G)$, the vacuum manifold $G/H\cong\textrm{U}(N)$ is a group. In this case, when the Higgs vacuum value is large, the 4d $A_2$-quiver gauge theory reduces to the Skyrme sigma model on ${\mathbb R}^{3,1}$ with U$(N)$ as target. Thus, both the Skyrme and the Faddeev model arise as effective field theories in the infrared of Yang-Mills-Higgs models.

description: We show that the 3450 U(1) chiral fermion theory can appear as the low energy effective field theory of a 1+1D local lattice model, with an on-site U(1) symmetry and finite-range interactions. The on-site U(1) symmetry means that the U(1) symmetry can be gauged (gaugeable for both background probe and dynamical fields), which leads to a non-perturbative definition of chiral gauge theory --- a chiral fermion theory coupled to U(1) gauge theory. Our construction can be generalized to regularize any U(1)-anomaly-free 1+1D gauged chiral fermion theory with a zero chiral central charge (thus no gravitational anomaly) by a lattice, thanks to the recently proven "Poincaré dual" equivalence between the U(1) 't Hooft anomaly free condition and the U(1) symmetric interaction gapping rule, via a bosonization-fermionization technique.
