description: We explore the initial moments of impact between two dense granular clusters in a two-dimensional geometry. The particles are composed of solid CO$_{2}$ and are levitated on a hot surface. Upon collision, the propagation of a dynamic "jamming front" produces a distinct regime for energy dissipation in a granular gas in which the translational kinetic energy decreases by over 90%. Experiments and associated simulations show that the initial loss of kinetic energy obeys a power law in time, $ΔE=-Kt^{3/2}$, a form that can be predicted from kinetic arguments.

description: The chiral partner structure of heavy baryons is studied using the bound state approach by binding the heavy-light mesons to nucleon as soliton in an effective Lagrangian for the pseudoscalar and vector mesons based on the hidden local symmetry. In the heavy-light meson sector, we regard the $H$-doublet and $G$-doublet as chiral partners and couple them to light meson with minimal derivative. We find that the chiral partner of $Λ_c(1/2^+,2286)$ is the $Λ_c(1/2^-,3/2^-)$ heavy quark doublet with the mass of about 3.1\,GeV but not ($Λ_c(1/2^-,2595)$, $Λ_c(3/2^-,2625)$) which might be interpreted as an orbital excitation of the $Λ_c(1/2^+,2286)$. The same model is applied to the bottom sector, and the chiral partner of $Λ_b(1/2^+,5625)$ is shown to have the mass of about 6.5\,GeV. The chiral partner structures for the isospin vector heavy baryons are also discussed. For the pentaquark states, we find that the masses of the pentaquark state made of ground state heavy-light meson and its chiral partner are similar, and both of them are below the $Dp$ threshold, which therefore cannot be ruled out by the present data.

description: We introduce a new Bose-Fermi framework for studying spectral properties and quantum phase transitions (QPTs) in odd-mass nuclei, in the presence of configuration mixing. A detailed analysis of odd-mass Nb isotopes discloses the effects of an abrupt crossing of states in normal and intruder configurations (Type II QPT), accompanied by a gradual evolution from spherical- to deformed-core shapes within the intruder configuration (Type I QPT). The pronounced presence of both types of QPTs demonstrates, for the first time, the occurrence of intertwined QPTs in odd-mass nuclei.

description: Scope
Jurisdictional-based Early Hearing Detection and Intervention Information Systems (EHDI-IS) collect data on the hearing screening and follow-up status of infants across the United States. These systems serve as tools that assist EHDI programs’ staff and partners in their tracking activities and provide a variety of data reports to help ensure that all children who are deaf/hard of hearing (D/HH) are identified early and receive recommended intervention services. The quality and timeliness of the data collected with these systems are crucial to effectively meeting these goals.
Methodology
Forty-eight EHDI programs, funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), successfully evaluated the accuracy, completeness, uniqueness and timeliness of the hearing screening data as well as the acceptability (i.e. willingness to report) of the EHDI-IS among data reporters (2013-2016). This article describes the evaluations conducted and presents the findings from these evaluation activities.
Conclusions:
Most state EHDI programs are receiving newborn hearing screening results from hospitals and birthing facilities in a consistent way and data reporters are willing to report according to established protocols. However, additional efforts are needed to improve the accuracy and completeness of reported demographic data, results from infants transferred from other hospitals, and from infants admitted to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.

description: Изменения в традиционном порядке новгородско-ганзейской торговли, связанные со сменой ассортимента русского экспорта, с расширением круга торговых партнеров, торговой кооперации, кредитных операций и прочих нарушений обычаев («старины»), с появлением новых рынков, упадком новгородского Немецкого подворья, создавали условие для развития «необычной» (неформальной) торговли, расцвет которой пришелся на конец XV века. Деформация традиционных форм товарообмена провоцировала различного рода сбои, включая рост правонарушений экономического, административного и криминального порядка, в силу своей объективности не связанных ни с дискриминацией русского купечества в ганзейских городах, ни с «антиганзейской» политикой великого князя Ивана III.

description: В центре внимания в статье находится спорная проблема так называемых «старых посадников» в Новгороде Великом. Они появляются в источниках начиная с 1420-х гг., но до сих пор не вполне ясно, кем они были. Существуют две концепции на этот счёт. В историографии XIX ― начала XX века они обычно рассматривались как «бывшие посадники», сохранявшие после своего ухода с должности определённое политическое влияние. В.Л.Янин предположил, что «старые посадники» были на самом деле старшими, т.е. главными, посадниками ― по сравнению с другими посадниками, численность которых постепенно увеличивалась в XV веке. Анализ одного ганзейского документа показывает, что, с одной стороны, «старые посадники», скорее всего, были бывшими посадниками, с другой стороны, ― что появление этого выражения в 20-е годы XV века свидетельствует об усилении кланово-олигархических тенденций в Новгороде XV века.

description: A post-processing adjustment technique which aims for enhancement of dual-frequency SURF (Second order UltRasound Field) reverberation-noise suppression imaging in medical ultrasound is analyzed. Two variant methods are investigated through numerical simulations. They both solely involve post-processing of the propagated high-frequency (HF) imaging wave fields, which in real-time imaging corresponds to post-processing of the beamformed receive radio-frequency signals. Hence the transmit pulse complexes are the same as for the previously published SURF reverberation-suppression imaging method. The adjustment technique is tested on simulated data from propagation of SURF pulse complexes consisting of a 3.5 MHz HF imaging pulse added to a 0.5 low-frequency sound-speed manipulation pulse. Imaging transmit beams are constructed with and without adjustment. The post-processing involves filtering, e.g., by a time-shift, in order to equalize the two SURF HF pulses at a chosen depth. This depth is typically chosen to coincide with the depth where the first scattering or reflection occurs for the reverberation noise one intends to suppress. The beams realized with post-processing show energy decrease at the chosen depth, especially for shallow depths where in a medical imaging situation often a body-wall is located. This indicates that the post-processing may further enhance the reverberation-suppression abilities of SURF imaging. Moreover, it is shown that the methods might be utilized to reduce the accumulated near-field energy of the SURF transmit-beam relative to its imaging region energy. The adjustments presented may therefore potentially be utilized to attain a slightly better general suppression of multiple scattering and multiple reflection noise compared to for non-adjusted SURF reverberation-suppression imaging.

description: We propose the concept of terahertz (THz) photomixing enabled by the interband electron transitions due to the absorption of modulated optical radiation in double-graphene layer (double-GL) structures and the resonant excitation of plasma oscillations. Using the developed double-GL photomixer (DG-PM) model, we describe its operation and calculate the device characteristics. The output power of the THz radiation exhibits sharp resonant peaks at the plasmonic resonant frequencies. The peak powers markedly exceed the output powers at relatively low frequencies. Due to relatively high quantum efficiency of optical absorption in GLs and short inter-GL transit time, the proposed DG-PM operating in the resonant plasma oscillation regime can surpass the photomixers based on the standard heterostructures .

description: Interference alignment is degree of freedom optimal in K -user MIMO interference channels and many previous works have studied the transceiver designs. However, these works predominantly focus on networks with perfect channel state information at the transmitters and symmetrical interference topology. In this paper, we consider a limited feedback system with heterogeneous path loss and spatial correlations, and investigate how the dynamics of the interference topology can be exploited to improve the feedback efficiency. We propose a novel spatial codebook design, and perform dynamic quantization via bit allocations to adapt to the asymmetry of the interference topology. We bound the system throughput under the proposed dynamic scheme in terms of the transmit SNR, feedback bits and the interference topology parameters. It is shown that when the number of feedback bits scales with SNR as C_{s}\cdot\log\textrm{SNR}, the sum degrees of freedom of the network are preserved. Moreover, the value of scaling coefficient C_{s} can be significantly reduced in networks with asymmetric interference topology.

description: While speech recognition Word Error Rate (WER) has reached human parity for English, long-form dictation scenarios still suffer from segmentation and punctuation problems resulting from irregular pausing patterns or slow speakers. Transformer sequence tagging models are effective at capturing long bi-directional context, which is crucial for automatic punctuation. Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) production systems, however, are constrained by real-time requirements, making it hard to incorporate the right context when making punctuation decisions. In this paper, we propose a streaming approach for punctuation or re-punctuation of ASR output using dynamic decoding windows and measure its impact on punctuation and segmentation accuracy across scenarios. The new system tackles over-segmentation issues, improving segmentation F0.5-score by 13.9%. Streaming punctuation achieves an average BLEU-score improvement of 0.66 for the downstream task of Machine Translation (MT).
The thermodynamic limit of an ideal Bose gas by asymptotic expansions and spectral $ζ$-functions
Creators: name: Weiss, Daniel Alexander
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2022
Subjects: subject: Mathematical Physics (math-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We analyze the thermodynamic limit - modeled as the open-trap limit of an isotropic harmonic potential - of an ideal, non-relativistic Bose gas with a special emphasis on the phenomenon of Bose-Einstein condensation. This is accomplished by the use of an asymptotic expansion of the grand potential, which is derived by $ζ$-regularization techniques. Herewith we can show, that the singularity structure of this expansion is directly interwoven with the phase structure of the system: In the non-condensation phase the expansion has a form that resembles usual heat kernel expansions. By this, thermodynamic observables are directly calculable. In contrast, the expansion exhibits a singularity of infinite order above a critical density and a renormalization of the chemical potential is needed to ensure well-defined thermodynamic observables. Furthermore, the renormalization procedure forces the system to exhibit condensation. In addition, we show that characteristic features of the thermodynamic limit, like the critical density or the internal energy, are entirely encoded in the coefficients of the asymptotic expansion.

The religions of Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism and their sacred musics were taught through an interdisciplinary methodology.

Qualitative research was conducted with a sample of 34 final-year, Greek primary school students. The syllabus and teaching conditions were identical for all students. However, the experimental group was taught using educational materials designed on the Aurasma AR application. The research findings suggest that the use of AR supported deeper and more engaging learning, confirming the limited relevant findings in international literature.

description: The determination of luminosity function (LF) of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) is of an important role for the cosmological applications of the GRBs, which is however hindered seriously by some selection effects due to redshift measurements. In order to avoid these selection effects, we suggest to calculate pseudo-redshifts for Swift GRBs according to the empirical L-E_p relationship. Here, such a $L-E_p$ relationship is determined by reconciling the distributions of pseudo- and real redshifts of redshift-known GRBs. The values of E_p taken from Butler's GRB catalog are estimated with Bayesian statistics rather than observed. Using the GRB sample with pseudo-redshifts of a relatively large number, we fit the redshift-resolved luminosity distributions of the GRBs with a broken-power-law LF. The fitting results suggest that the LF could evolve with redshift by a redshift-dependent break luminosity, e.g., L_b=1.2\times10^{51}(1+z)^2\rm erg s^{-1}. The low- and high-luminosity indices are constrained to 0.8 and 2.0, respectively. It is found that the proportional coefficient between GRB event rate and star formation rate should correspondingly decrease with increasing redshifts.

description: The article presents the author's own data on the determination of predictors of phenotypes of recurrent wheezing in children of early and preschool age, taking into account the instability of the phenotype after the expiration of time and transformation into bronchial asthma (BA). The study included 83 children with the diagnosis of recurrent bronchitis (RB) at the age of 1 to 6 years. Based on the follow-up study which lasted for a six-year period, the children under study were divided into 2 groups, taking into account the phenotypic characteristics. The first group included 39 (46,9 %) children with a favorable outcome of the disease, the second one – 44 (53,1 %) children diagnosed with bronchial asthma (BA) over the past period. When assessing risk factors for recurrent wheezing, it was revealed that food sensitization (p = 0,021), drug allergy (p = 0,021), eosinophilia (p = 0,034), increased IL-1β (p = 0,003), IL-4 (p = 0,034), IL-6 (p = 0,009), IL-8 (p = 0,008) significantly affect the formation of the persistent wheezing phenotype. For the transient phenotype, the most significant predictors were comorbidities of the upper respiratory tract: rhinosinusitis (p = 0,008), adenoiditis (p = 0,008). The discovered predictors make it possible to identify the phenotypes of recurrent wheezing in children of early and preschool age, which will allow personalizing therapy and predicting the outcome of the disease. Key words: wheezing, children, bronchial asthma, wheezing phenotypes, prediction, risk factors.

description: Reversible conversion over multi-million-times in bond types between metavalent and covalent bonds becomes one of the most promising bases for universal memory. As the conversions have been found in metastable states, extended category of crystal structures from stable states via redistribution of vacancies, researches on kinetic behavior of the vacancies are highly on demand. However, they remain lacking due to difficulties with experimental analysis. Herein, the direct observation of the evolution of chemical states of vacancies clarifies the behavior by combining analysis on charge density distribution, electrical conductivity, and crystal structures. Site-switching of vacancies gradually occurs with diverged energy barriers owing to a unique activation code-the accumulation of vacancies triggers spontaneous gliding along atomic planes to relieve electrostatic repulsion. Study on the behavior can be further applied to multi-phase superlattices composed of Sb2Te3 (2D) and GeTe (3D) sublayers, which represent the superior memory performances but their operating mechanisms were still under debates due to their complexity. The site-switching is favorable (suppressed) when Te-Te bonds are formed as physisorption (chemisorption) over the interface between Sb2Te3 (2D) and GeTe (3D) sublayers driven by configurational entropic gain (electrostatic enthalpic loss). Depending on the type of interfaces between sublayers, phases of the superlattices are classified into metastable and stable states, where the conversion could be only achieved in the metastable state. From this comprehensive understanding on the operating mechanism via kinetic behaviors of vacancies and the metastability, further studies towards vacancy engineering are expected in versatile materials.

Determination of the excitation function of the 160Gd(d,x)161Tb production route and that of the disturbing 160Gd(d,2n)160Tb side reaction was done over the deuteron energy range up to 50 MeV using the stacked-foil technique and high-resolution gamma-ray spectrometry. A comparison of this production route with the established (n,γ) reaction at a nuclear reactor is made.

description: Among young children, there is a tendency to growth of respiratory pathology, accompanied by wheezing, which is one of the most urgent medical and social problems. Today, due to the heterogeneity of wheezing, there is an active search for clinical and laboratory predictors, allowing to predict the further course of wheezing with its transformation into one or another nosological form of diseases of the lower respiratory tract to form a personalized approach to therapy. Of particular interest now is the study of immunogenetic bases with the identification of protective alleles of the genes involved in the inflammatory response (in particular, cytokine genes and their receptors) and allowing for the formation of a long-term prognosis of the disease. In this work, the effect of the C-590T polymorphism of the IL-4 gene on the realization of such diseases as bronchial asthma in children and recurrent bronchitis with wheezing was studied. The influence of these alleles and polymorphisms on the phenotypic characteristics of wheezing and clinical and anamnestic features of the course of the diseases is considered. The results can serve as additional criteria for diagnosis and prediction of the disease course. Key words: obstructive bronchitis, recurrent bronchitis, bronchial asthma, IL-4 gene, cytokines.

description: In the study that involved 240 rats with the initial body weight of 180-200 grams we investigated the influence of intragastric sodium benzoate in quantity of 1500 mg per kg administered daily for 60 days and exposure to ionizing radiation (total 4 Gr. in 4 sessions) on histological structure of the lower incisor. We also investigated the possibility of prophylaxis and correction of alterations found with intragastric administration of sea-buckthorn oil in quantity of 300 mg/kg daily. Sodium benzoate administration resulted in narrowing of odontoblasts, predentin and dentin layers and diminishing of mesio-distal size of the lower incisor; in the readaptation period histological structure of the lower incisor gradually restored. Exposure to ionizing radiation resulted in similar changes though restoration period was longer. Combined action of sodium benzoate and ionizing radiation resulted in more severe derangement of morphological and functional state of dentin secreting structures and restoration was not observed. Administration if sea-buckthorn oil reduced negative effects of experimental influence on histological structure of the lower incisor which was connected with restoration of functioning of odontoblasts. Key words: rats, lower incisor, histological structure, sodium benzoate, ionizing radiation, sea-buckthorn oil.

Thus, we propose a novel SLAM that learns when masking objects improves its performance in dynamic scenarios. Given a method to segment objects and a SLAM, we give the latter the ability of Temporal Masking, i.e., to infer when certain classes of objects should be masked to maximize any given SLAM metric. We do not make any priors on motion: our method learns to mask moving objects by itself. To prevent high annotations costs, we created an automatic annotation method for self-supervised training. We constructed a new dataset, named ConsInv, which includes challenging real-world dynamic sequences respectively indoors and outdoors. Our method reaches the state of the art on the TUM RGB-D dataset and outperforms it on KITTI and ConsInv datasets.

description: Random Effects analysis has been introduced into fMRI research in order to generalize findings from the study group to the whole population. Generalizing findings is obviously harder than detecting activation in the study group since in order to be significant, an activation has to be larger than the inter-subject variability. Indeed, detected regions are smaller when using random effect analysis versus fixed effects. The statistical assumptions behind the classic random effects model are that the effect in each location is normally distributed over subjects, and "activation" refers to a non-null mean effect. We argue this model is unrealistic compared to the true population variability, where, due to functional plasticity and registration anomalies, at each brain location some of the subjects are active and some are not. We propose a finite-Gaussian--mixture--random-effect. A model that amortizes between-subject spatial disagreement and quantifies it using the "prevalence" of activation at each location. This measure has several desirable properties: (a) It is more informative than the typical active/inactive paradigm. (b) In contrast to the hypothesis testing approach (thus t-maps) which are trivially rejected for large sample sizes, the larger the sample size, the more informative the prevalence statistic becomes. In this work we present a formal definition and an estimation procedure of this prevalence. The end result of the proposed analysis is a map of the prevalence at locations with significant activation, highlighting activations regions that are common over many brains.

description: The coherent control of multi-partite quantum systems presents one of the central prerequisites in state-of-the-art quantum information processing. With the added benefit of inherent high-fidelity detection capability, atomic quantum systems in high-energy internal states, such as metastable noble gas atoms, promote themselves as ideal candidates for advancing quantum science in fundamental aspects and technological applications. Using laser-cooled neon atoms in the metastable $^3$P$_2$ state of state $1s^2 2s^2 2p^5 3s$ (LS-coupling notation) (Racah notation: $^2P_{3/2}\,3s[3/2]_2$) with five $m_F$-sublevels, experimental methods for the preparation of all Zeeman sublevels |m_J> = |+2>, |+1>, |0>, |-1>, |-2> as well as the coherent control of superposition states in the five-level system |+2> ... |-2>, in the three-level system |+2>, |+1>, |0>, and in the two-level system |+2>, |+1> are presented. The methods are based on optimized radio frequency and laser pulse sequences. The state evolution is described with a simple, semiclassical model. The coherence properties of the prepared states are studied using Ramsey and spin echo measurements.

description: We investigate the relevance of dynamic quantum coherence in the energy transfer efficiency of molecular aggregates. We contrast the dynamics after excitation of a quantum mechanical system with that of a classical system. We demonstrate how a classical description of an ensemble average can be satisfactorily interpreted either as a single system driven by a continuous force or as an ensemble of systems each driven by an impulsive force. We derive the time evolution of the density matrix for an open quantum system excited by light or by a neighboring antenna. We argue that unlike in the classical case, the quantum description does not allow for a formal decomposition of the dynamics into sudden jumps in the quantum mechanical state. Rather, there is a natural finite time-scale associated with the excitation process. We propose a simple experiment how to test the influence of this time scale on the yield of photosynthesis. Because photosynthesis is intrinsically an average process, the efficiency of photosynthesis can be assessed from the quantum mechanical expectation value calculated from the second-order response theory, which has the same validity as the perturbative description of ultrafast experiments. We demonstrate using typical parameters of the currently most studied photosynthetic antenna, the Fenna-Matthews-Olson (FMO) complex, and a typical energy transfer rate from the chlorosome baseplate, that dynamic coherences are averaged out in the complex despite excitation proceeding through a coherent superposition of its eigenstates. The dynamic coherence averages out even when the FMO model is completely free of all dissipation and dephasing. We conclude that under natural excitation conditions coherent dynamics cannot be responsible for the remarkable efficiency of the photosynthesis even when considering the dynamics at a single molecular level.

description: Understanding how the effectiveness of natural photosynthetic energy harvesting systems arises from the interplay between quantum coherence and environmental noise represents a significant challenge for quantum theory. Recently it has begun to be appreciated that discrete molecular vibrational modes may play an important role in the dynamics of such systems. As an alternative to computationally demanding numerical approaches, we present a microscopic mechanism by which intramolecular vibrations contribute to the efficiency and directionality of energy transfer. Excited vibrational states create resonant pathways through the system, supporting fast and efficient energy transport. Vibrational damping together with the natural downhill arrangement of molecular energy levels gives intrinsic directionality to the energy flow. Analytical and numerical results demonstrate a significant enhancement of the efficiency and directionality of energy transport that can be directly related to the existence of resonances between vibrational and excitonic levels.

description: Wetting of sessile bubbles on solid and liquid surfaces has been studied. A model is presented for the contact angle of a sessile bubble based on a modified Young equation - the experimental results agree with the model. A hydrophilic surface results in a bubble contact angle of 90 deg whereas on a superhydrophobic surface one observes 134 deg. For hydrophilic surfaces, the bubble angle diminishes with bubble radius - whereas on a superhydrophobic surface, the bubble angle increases. The size of the Plateau borders governs the bubble contact angle - depending on the wetting of the surface.

description: Kruszynska and Kraus [Phys. Rev. A 79, 052304 (2009)] have recently introduced the so-called locally maximally entanglable (LME) states of n qubits which can be maximally entangled to local auxiliary qubits using controlled operations. We characterize the local entanglability of hypergraph states and W states using an approach in [Phys. Rev. A 79, 052304 (2009)]. We show that (i) all hypergraph states are LME; (ii) hypergraph states and LME states are not equivalent under local unitaries; (iii) a W state of n qubits is not LME; and (iv) no hypergraph state of n qubits can be converted into to the W state under local unitary transformations. Moreover, we also present an approach for encoding weighted hypergraphs into LME states.

description: We make use of the time-dependent density functional theory to derive a new formally exact expression for the dc resistivity of metals with impurities. This expression takes fully into account the dynamics of electron-electron interactions. Correction to the conventional $T$-matrix (phase-shifts) theory is treated within hydrodynamics of inhomogeneous viscous electron liquid. As a first application, we present calculations of the residual resistivity of aluminum as a function of the atomic number of the impurities. We show that the inclusion of many-body corrections considerably improves the agreement between theory and experiment.
