description: Neutrosophic sets have been introduced as a generalization of crisp sets, fuzzy sets, and intuitionistic fuzzy sets to represent uncertain, inconsistent and incomplete information about real world problems. Elements of neutrosophic set are characterized by a truthmembership, falsity-membership and indeterminacy membership functions.
3F2(1) hypergeometric function and quadratic R-matrix algebra

description: We construct a class of representations of the quadratic $R$-matrix algebra given by the reflection equation with the spectral parameter, $$ R{\,}(u-v)\,T^{(1)}(u)\,R{\,}(u+v)\,T^{(2)}(v)= T^{(2)}(v)\,R{\,}(u+v)\,T^{(1)}(u)\,R{\,}(u-v), $$ in terms of certain ordinary difference operators. These operators turn out to act as parameter shifting operators on the ${}_3F{}_2(1)$ hypergeometric function and its limit cases and on classical orthogonal polynomials. The relationship with the factorisation method will be discussed.

Therefore, the two extensions of the SWARA method that can be used in cases when it is not easy, or even is impossible to reach a consensus on the expected importance of the evaluation criteria are proposed in this paper.
Interference and Distinguishability in Quantum Mechanics

Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Quantitative measures are introduced for the indistinguishability $U$ of two quantum states in a given measurement and the amount of interference $I$ observable in this measurement. It is shown that these measures obey an inequality $U\geq I$ which can be seen as an exact formulation of Bohr's claim that one cannot distinguish between two possible paths of a particle while maintaining an interference phenomenon. This formulation is applied to a neutron interferometer experiment of Badurek e.a. It is shown that the formulation is stronger than an argument based on an uncertainty relation for phase and photon number considered by these authors.

description: Two families of bipartite mixed quantum states are studied for which it is proved that the number of members in the optimal-decomposition ensemble --- the ensemble realizing the entanglement of formation --- is greater than the rank of the mixed state. We find examples for which the number of states in this optimal ensemble can be larger than the rank by an arbitrarily large factor. In one case the proof relies on the fact that the partial transpose of the mixed state has zero eigenvalues; in the other case the result arises from the properties of product bases that are completable only by embedding in a larger Hilbert space.

description: We consider SU(N) QCD in a new quadratic gauge which highlights certain characteristic of the theory in the non-perturbative sector. By considering natural hermiticity property of the ghost fields we cast this model as non-Hermtian but symmetric under combined Parity (P) and Time reversal (T) transformations. We explicitly study the PT phase transition in this model. This is very first such study in the non-Hermitian gauge theory. The ghost fields condensate as a direct consequence of spontaneous breaking of PT symmetry. This leads to realize the transition from deconfined phase to confined phase as a PT phase transition in this system. The hidden C- symmetry in this system is identified as inner automorphism in this theory. Explicit representation is constructed for the C-symmetry.

New possibilities for supersymmetry breakdown in quantum mechanics and second order irreducible Darboux transformations
Creators: name: Samsonov, Boris F.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1999
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: New types of irreducible second order Darboux transformations for the one dimensional Schroedinger equation are described. The main feature of such transformations is that the transformation functions have the eigenvalues grater then the ground state energy of the initial (or reference) Hamiltonian. When such a transformation is presented as a chain of two first order transformations, an intermediate potential is singular and therefore intermediate Hamiltonian can not be Hermitian while the final potential is regular and the final Hamiltonian is Hermitian. Second derivative supersymmetric quantum mechanical model based on a transformation of this kind exhibits properties inherent to models with exact and broken supersymmetry at once.

description: Rings and fields are significant algebraic structures in algebra and both of them are based on the group structure. In this paper, we attempt to extend the notion of a neutrosophic triplet group to a neutrosophic triplet ring and a neutrosophic triplet field. We introduce a neutrosophic tripletring and study some of its basic properties. Further, we define the zero divisor, neutrosophic triplet subring, neutrosophic triplet ideal, nilpotent integral neutrosophic triplet domain, and neutrosophic triplet ring homomorphism. Finally, we introduce a neutrosophic triplet field.
Atomistic modeling of interfacial segregation and structural transitions in ternary alloys

Year: 2018
Subjects: subject: Materials Science (cond-mat.mtrl-sci)

description: Grain boundary engineering via dopant segregation can dramatically change the properties of a material. For metallic systems, most current studies concerning interfacial segregation and subsequent transitions of grain boundary structure are limited to binary alloys, yet many important alloy systems contain more than one type of dopant. In this work, hybrid Monte Carlo/molecular dynamics simulations are performed to investigate the behavior of dopants at interfaces in two model ternary alloy systems: Cu-Zr-Ag and Al-Zr-Cu. Trends in boundary segregation are studied, as well as the propensity for the grain boundary structure to become disordered at high temperature and doping concentration. For Al-Zr-Cu, we find that the two solutes prefer to occupy different sites at the grain boundary, leading to a synergistic doping effect. Alternatively, for Cu-Zr-Ag, there is site competition because the preferred segregation sites are the same. Finally, we find that thicker amorphous intergranular films can be formed in ternary systems by controlling the concentration ratio of different solute elements.

description: Computing the pulse profile observed at infinity from a spinning neutron star requires considering a number of different physical processes: the reprocessing of the photons in the neutron-star atmosphere (which determines the spectrum and beaming of the emerging radiation), the shape of the neutron star (which determines the boundary conditions for photon propagation), and the gravitational lensing in its spacetime. In this excerpt from an internal NICER memo, we discuss the approximations in implementing gravitational lensing in the neutron-star spacetimes, correcting an error in the literature.

description: This study investigates customer perception and satisfaction towards electric vehicles (EVs) in Coimbatorecity, aiming to understand the factors influencing EV adoption. With growing environmental concerns andgovernment incentives, the shift towards EVs is gaining momentum. The research highlights that whilecustomers are motivated by the environmental benefits and long-term cost savings of EVs, concerns abouthigh upfront costs, limited charging infrastructure, and range anxiety are barriers to adoption. Customersatisfaction is found to be positively impacted by factors such as vehicle performance, after-sales service,and government incentives. The study emphasizes the need for improved charging infrastructure, betterawareness campaigns, and stronger policy support to enhance the adoption of electric vehicles in Coimbatoreand meet customer expectations.

description: Recent wide-field surveys discovered new types of peculiar optical transients that showed diverse behaviors of the evolution of photospheric properties. We develop a general theory of homologous explosions with constant opacity, paying special attention on the evolution of the photospheric radius $R_{\rm ph}$. We find that regardless of the density distribution profile, $R_{\rm ph}$ always increases early on and decreases at late times. This result does not depend on the radiation and cooling processes inside the ejecta.The general rising/falling behavior of $R_{\rm ph}$ can be used to quickly diagnose whether the source originates from a supernova-like explosion. The shape of the $R_{\rm ph}$ evolution curve depends on the density profile, so the observations may be used to directly diagnose the density profile as well as the temperature profile of the ejecta. All the well-monitored supernovae show such a $R_{\rm ph}$ rising/falling behavior, which is consistent with our theory. The recently discovered peculiar transient AT2018cow showed a continuous decay of $R_{\rm ph}$, which is disfavored to be of a supernova-like explosion origin. Our result therefore supports the interpretation of this transient as a tidal disruption event.

Such metrics possess the statistically important property of being decreasing under stochastic mappings (coarse-grainings). We do note that the proposed natural measure (and certain evident variations upon it) exhibit quite specific monotonicity properties, but not of the form required for membership in the class.

description: Melatonin, historically recognized for its primary role in regulating circadian rhythms, has expanded its influence particularly due to its wide range of biological activities. It has firmly established itself in cancer research. To highlight its versatility, we delved into how melatonin interacts with key signaling pathways, such as the Wnt/β-Catenin, PI3K, and NF-κB pathways, which play foundational roles in tumor development and progression. Notably, melatonin can intricately modulate these pathways, potentially affecting various cellular functions such as apoptosis, metastasis, and immunity. Additionally, a comprehensive review of current clinical studies provides a dual perspective. These studies confirm melatonin’s potential in cancer management but also underscore its inherent limitations, particularly its limited bioavailability, which often relegates it to a supplementary role in treatments. Despite this limitation, there is an ongoing quest for innovative solutions and current advancements include the development of melatonin derivatives and cutting-edge delivery systems. By synthesizing the past, present, and future, this review provides a detailed overview of melatonin’s evolving role in oncology, positioning it as a potential cornerstone in future cancer therapeutics.

Entropy accumulation with improved second-order term
Creators: name: Dupuis, Frédéric
name: Fawzi, Omar
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2018
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The entropy accumulation theorem states that the smooth min-entropy of an $n$-partite system $A = (A_1, \ldots, A_n)$ is lower-bounded by the sum of the von Neumann entropies of suitably chosen conditional states up to corrections that are sublinear in $n$. This theorem is particularly suited to proving the security of quantum cryptographic protocols, and in particular so-called device-independent protocols for randomness expansion and key distribution, where the devices can be built and preprogrammed by a malicious supplier. However, while the bounds provided by this theorem are optimal in the first order, the second-order term is bounded more crudely, in such a way that the bounds deteriorate significantly when the theorem is applied directly to protocols where parameter estimation is done by sampling a small fraction of the positions, as is done in most QKD protocols. The objective of this paper is to improve this second-order sublinear term and remedy this problem. On the way, we prove various bounds on the divergence variance, which might be of independent interest.

Spontaneous decay of an excited atom in an absorbing dielectric

description: Starting from the quantized version of Maxwell's equations for the electromagnetic field in an arbitrary linear Kramers-Kronig dielectric, spontaneous decay of the excited state of a two-level atom embedded in a dispersive and absorbing medium is studied and the decay rate is calculated. The calculations are performed for both the (Clausius-Mosotti) virtual cavity model and the (Glauber-Lewenstein) real cavity model. It is shown that owing to nonradiative decay associated with absorption the rate of spontaneous decay sensitively depends on the cavity radius when the atomic transition frequency approaches an absorption band of the medium. Only when the effect of absorption is fully disregarded, then the familiar local-field correction factors are recovered.

The principal metabolic effect of DCA administration is an increased availability of acetyl-CoA and acetylcarnitine for substrate phosphorylation, and a lowering of blood [lactate]. Studies using DCA during exercise have identified the availability of these acetyl groups as a major determinant of VO2 increase at the start of exercise, suggesting a functional stenosis to VO2 may reside at the level of PDH. It was the aim of these studies to further investigate whether DCA has an effect on the rate and magnitude of the VO2 response for sub-maximal and maximal work intensities. Procedures A ramped incremental exercise protocol and 2 sub-maximal constant exercise protocols were undertaken on a cycle ergometer. The constant work protocols were undertaken at work intensities above and below that corresponding to the individual blood lactate threshold. Measures of breath-by-breath VO2 and heart rate were made in conjunction with measures of muscle oxygen saturation (NIRS) and blood borne indices (Lactate, pH, Glucose, Bicarbonate). VO2 kinetics were estimated using non-linear least squares regression strategies. Results Dichloroacetate had no significant effect on submaximal oxygen uptake. This was evidenced as no change in the amplitude or time course of the kinetic response during exercise above or below the lactate threshold, and no change in the slow component response above the lactate threshold. DCA administration did promote a small but significant increase in VO2nmx. Blood [Lactate] was reduced at submaximal exercise intensities. However, no significant difference was evident during maximal exercise. DCA was shown to have chronotropic properties evident by an observed increase in heart rate at rest and during the initial stages of exercise. Conclusions The present studies clearly illustrate a haemodynamic response to DCA that has not been described previously. Control of oxygen uptake kinetics at the level of pyruvate dehydrogenase is not supported by this work.

description: Parking functions are a widely studied class of combinatorial objects, with connections to several branches of mathematics. On the algebraic side, parking functions can be identified with the standard monomials of $M_n$, a certain monomial ideal in the polynomial ring $S = {\mathbb K}[x_1, \dots, x_n]$ where a set of generators are indexed by the nonempty subsets of $[n] = \{1,2,\dots,n\}$. Motivated by constructions from the theory of chip-firing on graphs we study generalizations of parking functions determined by $M^{(k)}_n$, a subideal of $M_n$ obtained by allowing only generators corresponding to subsets of $[n]$ of size at most $k$. For each $k$ the set of standard monomials of $M^{(k)}_n$, denoted $\text{stan}_n^k$, contains the usual parking functions and has interesting combinatorial properties in its own right. For general $k$ we show that elements of $\text{stan}_n^k$ can be recovered as certain vector-parking functions, which in turn leads to a formula for their count via results of Yan. The symmetric group $S_n$ naturally acts on the set $\text{stan}_n^k$ and we also obtain a formula for the number of orbits under this action. For the case of $k = n-2$ we study combinatorial interpretations of $\text{stan}_n^{n-2}$ and relate them to properties of uprooted trees in terms of root degree and surface inversions. As a corollary we obtain a combinatorial identity for $n^n$ involving Catalan numbers, reminiscent of a result of Benjamin and Juhnke. For the case of $k = 1$ we observe that the number of elements $\text{stan}_n^1$ is given by the determinant of the reduced `signless' Laplacian, which provides a weighted count for $|\text{stan}_n^1|$ in terms generalized spanning trees known as `spanning TU-subgraphs'. Our constructions naturally generalize to arbitrary graphs and lead to a number of open questions.

description: We consider the steady state behavior of observables in the Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model and in the one dimensional transverse field quantum Ising model after a sudden quantum quench of the parameter controlling the gap. In the thermodynamic limit, and for times $t\rightarrow\infty$, we find non-analyticities even in simple local observables as a function of the quench parameter, that is, a non-equilibrium quantum phase transition. We trace the appearance of this non-equilibrium quantum phase transition to an effective metal-insulator transition which occurs on the level of the generalized Gibbs Ensemble (describing the steady-state of the equilibrated system). Studying whether these transitions are robust, we find, in the paradigmatic case of the SSH model, that they persist for both quantum quench protocols of finite duration in time as well as thermal initial states, while they are washed out in the presence of fermion-fermion interactions and for finite system size.

description: The ratio method has been developed to improve the study of one-neutron halo nuclei through reactions. By taking the ratio of angular distributions for two processes, viz. breakup and elastic scattering, this new observable is nearly independent of the reaction mechanism and hence much more sensitive to the projectile structure than the cross sections for each single process. We study the extension of the ratio method to proton-rich nuclei and also explore the optimum experimental conditions for measuring this new observable. We compare accurate dynamical calculations of reactions for proton-rich projectiles to the prediction of the ratio method. We use the dynamical eikonal approximation that provides good results for this kind of reactions at intermediate energy. Our tests for 8B, an archteypical one-proton halo nucleus, on Pb, Ni, and C targets at 44 MeV/nucleon show that, the ratio works less well than for neutron halos due to the non-negligible Coulomb interaction between the valence proton and the target. Nevertheless, the ratio method still provides pertinent information about nuclear structure on the proton-rich side of the valley of stability. Interestingly the method is not affected if energy ranges-or bins-are considered in the projectile continuum. This makes the ratio easier to measure experimentally by increasing the breakup cross section. We also extend our analysis to 17F, 25Al, and 27P, whose study is of interest to both nuclear astrophysics and nuclear structure. We show that, albeit less precise than for one-neutron halo nuclei, nuclear-structure information can be inferred from the ratio method applied to exotic proton-rich nuclei. In particular, when the valence proton is loosely bound in an $s$ or $p$ orbital, viz. for proton halo nuclei, detailed structure information can be obtained through this new reaction observable.

description: Using cumulant expansion in Gaussian approximation, the internal quantum statistics of damped soliton-like pulses in Kerr media are studied numerically, considering both narrow and finite bandwidth spectral pulse components. It is shown that the sub-Poissonian statistics can be enhanced, under certain circumstances, by absorption, which damps out some destructive interferences. Further, it is shown that both the photon-number correlation and the correlation of the photon-number variance between different pulse components can be highly nonclassical even for an absorbing fiber. Optimum frequency windows are determined in order to realize strong nonclassical behavior, which offers novel possibilities of using solitons in optical fibers as a source of nonclassically correlated light beams.

description: This paper contributes towards the development and comparison of Divergent-Component-of-Motion (DCM) based control architectures for humanoid robot locomotion. More precisely, we present and compare several DCM based implementations of a three layer control architecture. From top to bottom, these three layers are here called: trajectory optimization, simplified model control, and whole-body QP control. All layers use the DCM concept to generate references for the layer below. For the simplified model control layer, we present and compare both instantaneous and Receding Horizon Control controllers. For the whole-body QP control layer, we present and compare controllers for position and velocity control robots. Experimental results are carried out on the one-meter tall iCub humanoid robot. We show which implementation of the above control architecture allows the robot to achieve a walking velocity of 0.41 meters per second.

description: Axion-like particles (ALPs) are attracting increasing interest since, among other things, they are a prediction of many extensions of the standard model of elementary particles physics and in particular of superstrings and superbranes. Remarkably, depending on the set of their parameter space, they strongly increase the photon transparency in the very-high energy band. The recent discovery of photon dispersion on the CMB requires a substantial modification of the previous picture: this is indeed the goal of the present paper. We compute the photon survival probability from a blazar to us exactly, and we plot it versus the observed energy for 7 simulated blazars at different $z$ and 4 values of a model parameter. Our predictions can be tested by the new generation of $γ$-ray observatories like CTA, HAWC, GAMMA-400, LHAASO, TAIGA-HiSCORE and HERD. Finally, for our guessed values of $m_a$ and $g_{γγa}$ our ALP can be detected in the upgrade of ALPS II at DESY, the planned experiments IAXO, STAX and ABRACADABRA as well as with other techniques.

description: The deviations from a purely exponential behavior in a decay process are analyzed in relation to Van Hove's "λ^2 t" limiting procedure. Our attention is focused on the effects that arise when the coupling constant is small but nonvanishing. We first consider a simple model (two-level atom in interaction with the electromagnetic field), then gradually extend our analysis to a more general framework. We estimate all deviations from exponential behavior at leading orders in the coupling constant.
