description: The structural and bonding properties of small neutral alkali-halide clusters (AX)n, with n less than or equal to 10, A=Li, Na, K, Rb and X=F, Cl, Br, I, are studied using the ab initio Perturbed Ion (aiPI) model and a restricted structural relaxation criterion. A trend of competition between rock-salt and hexagonal ring-like isomers is found and discussed in terms of the relative ionic sizes. The main conclusion is that an approximate value of r_C/r_A=0.5 (where r_C and r_A are the cationic and anionic radii) separates the hexagonal from the rock-salt structures. The classical electrostatic part of the total energy at the equilibrium geometry is enough to explain these trends. The magic numbers in the size range studied are n= 4, 6 and 9, and these are universal since they occur for all alkali-halides and do not depend on the specific ground state geometry. Instead those numbers allow for the formation of compact clusters. Full geometrical relaxations are considered for (LiF)n (n=3-7) and (AX)_3 clusters, and the effect of Coulomb correlation is studied in a few selected cases. These two effects preserve the general conclusions achieved thus far.

description: The transverse group associated to some continuous quantum measuring processes is analyzed in the presence of nonvanishing gravitational fields. This is done considering, as an exmaple, the case of a particle whose coordinates are being monitored. Employing the so called restricted path integral formalism, it will be shown that the measuring process could always contain information concerning the gravitational field. In other words, it seems that with the presence of a measuring process the equivalence principle may, in some cases, break down. The relation between the breakdown of the equivalence principle, at quantum level, and the fact that the gravitational field could act always as a decoherence environment, is also considered. The phenomena of quantum beats of quantum optics will allow us to consider the possibility that the experimental corroboration of the equivalence principle at quantum level could be taken as an indirect evidence in favor of the quantization of the gravitational field, i.e., the quantum properties of this field avoid the violation of the equivalence principle.

Peculiarities of the Weyl - Wigner - Moyal formalism for scalar charged particles

description: A description of scalar charged particles, based on the Feshbach-Villars formalism, is proposed. Particles are described by an object that is a Wigner function in usual coordinates and momenta and a density matrix in the charge variable. It is possible to introduce the usual Wigner function for a large class of dynamical variables. Such an approach explicitly contains a measuring device frame. From our point of view it corresponds to the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics. It is shown how physical properties of such particles depend on the definition of the coordinate operator. The evolution equation for the Wigner function of a single-charge state in the classical limit coincides with the Liouville equation. Localization peculiarities manifest themselves in specific constraints on possible initial conditions.

description: This article details the impact arising from a sustained public-engagement activity with sixth-form students (16- to 17-year-olds) across two further education colleges during 2012/13. Measuring the impact of public engagement is notoriously difficult. As such, the engagement programme followed closely the recommendations of the National Co-ordinating Centre for Public Engagement (NCCPE) and their guidance for assessing Research Excellence Framework 2014 (REF2014) impact arising from public engagement with research. The programme resulted in multiple impacts as defined by REF2014 under 'Impacts on society, culture and creativity'. Specifically: the beneficiaries' interest in science was stimulated; the beneficiaries' engagement in science was improved; their sciencerelated education was enhanced; the outreach programme made the participants excited about the science topics covered; the beneficiaries' awareness and understanding was improved by engaging them with the research; there was tentative evidence of an improvement in AS-level grades; there was indirect evidence of an improvement in student retention. These impacts were evidenced by the user feedback from the sixth-form students collected from 50 questionnaires (split 16 and 34 across the two further education colleges), as well as testimonies from both the teachers and individual participants. This article will be of interest to anyone looking at how to evidence that public engagement has produced impact, in particular with regards to impact arising from a sustained public-engagement activity.

Evolution of the Density of States Gap in a Disordered Superconductor

description: It has only recently been possible to study the superconducting state in the attractive Hubbard Hamiltonian via a direct observation of the formation of a gap in the density of states N(w). Here we determine the effect of random chemical potentials on N(w) and show that at weak coupling, disorder closes the gap concurrently with the destruction of superconductivity. At larger, but still intermediate coupling, a pseudo-gap in N(w) remains even well beyond the point at which off-diagonal long range order vanishes. This change in the elementary excitations of the insulating phase corresponds to a crossover between Fermi- and Bose-Insulators. These calculations represent the first computation of the density of states in a finite dimensional disordered fermion model via the Quantum Monte Carlo and maximum entropy methods.

description: Hydrometeorological hazards caused losses of approximately 110 billion U.S. Dollars in 2016 worldwide. Current damage estimations do not consider the uncertainties in a comprehensive way, and they are not consistent between spatial scales. Aggregated land use data are used at larger spatial scales, although detailed exposure data at the object level, such as openstreetmap.org, is becoming increasingly available across the globe.We present a probabilistic approach for object-based damage estimation which represents uncertainties and is fully scalable in space. The approach is applied and validated to company damage from the flood of 2013 in Germany. Damage estimates are more accurate compared to damage models using land use data, and the estimation works reliably at all spatial scales. Therefore, it can as well be used for pre-event analysis and risk assessments. This method takes hydrometeorological damage estimation and risk assessments to the next level, making damage estimates and their uncertainties fully scalable in space, from object to country level, and enabling the exploitation of new exposure data.

description: Due to the non-trivial topological band structure in type-II Weyl semimetal Tungsten ditelluride (WTe2), unconventional properties may emerge in its superconducting phase. While realizing intrinsic superconductivity has been challenging in the type-II Weyl semimetal WTe2, proximity effect may open an avenue for the realization of superconductivity. Here, we report the observation of proximity-induced superconductivity with a long coherence length along c axis in WTe2 thin flakes based on a WTe2/NbSe2 van der Waals heterostructure. Interestingly, we also observe anomalous oscillations of the differential resistance during the transition from superconducting to normal state. Theoretical calculations show excellent agreement with experimental results, revealing that such a sub-gap anomaly is the intrinsic property of WTe2 in superconducting state induced by the proximity effect. Our findings enrich the understanding of superconducting phase of type-II Weyl semimetals, and pave the way for their future applications in topological quantum computing.

This new version is compatible with the latest CosmoMC code and includes a consistent implementation of massive neutrinos and dynamical dark energy. The code has been restructured to make it easier to modify to fit the custom needs of specific users. To illustrate the capabilities of the code, we present joint constraints on the modified growth, massive neutrinos and the dark energy equation of state from the latest cosmological observations, including the recent galaxy counts and weak lensing measurements from the Dark Energy Survey, and find a good consistency with the ΛCDM model.

description: We derive an effective 1D theory from the Hamiltonian of the 3D system which consists of a mesoscopic conductor and reservoirs. We assume that the many-body interaction have the same magnitude in the conductor as that in the reservoirs, in contrast to the previous theories which made the ad hoc assumption that the many-body interaction were absent in the reservoirs. We show the following: (i) The effective potentials of impurities and two-body interaction for the 1D modes become weaker as $x$ goes away from the conductor. (ii) On the other hand, the interaction between the 1D and the reservoir modes is important in the reservoir regions, where the reservoir modes excite and attenuate the 1D modes through the interaction. (iii) As a result, the current $\hat I_1$ of the 1D modes is not conserved, whereas the total current $\hat I$ is of course conserved. (iv) For any steady state the total current $\bra I \ket$, its equilibrium fluctuation $\bra δI^2 \ket^{eq}$ at low frequency, and non-equilibrium fluctuation $\bra δI^2 \ket^{noneq}$ at low frequency, of the original system are independent of $x$, whereas $\bra δI^2 \ket^{eq}$ and $\bra δI^2 \ket^{noneq}$ at higher frequencies may depend on $x$. (v) Utilizing this property, we can evaluate $\bra I \ket$, $\bra δI^2 \ket^{eq}$, and $\bra δI^2 \ket^{noneq}$ at low frequency from those of the 1D current $\hat I_1$. (vi) In general, the transmittance $T$ in the Landauer formula should be evaluated from a single-body Hamiltonian which includes a Hartree potential created by the density deformation which is caused by the external bias.

Selective and nonselective measurement processes are then introduced according to a selection of or an average over all possible initial configurations of the measurement apparatus. At quantum level, the selective processes are described by a nonlinear stochastic Schrödinger equation whose solutions evolve into properly defined coherent states in the case of linear systems. For arbitrary measured systems, classical behavior is always recovered in the macroscopic limit.

description: Corruption is a social plague: gains accrue to small groups, while its costs are borne by everyone. Significant variation in its level between and within countries suggests a relationship between social structure and the prevalence of corruption, yet, large scale empirical studies thereof have been missing due to lack of data. In this paper we relate the structural characteristics of social capital of towns with corruption in their local governments. Using datasets from Hungary, we quantify corruption risk by suppressed competition and lack of transparency in the town's awarded public contracts. We characterize social capital using social network data from a popular online platform. Controlling for social, economic, and political factors, we find that settlements with fragmented social networks, indicating an excess of \textit{bonding social capital} have higher corruption risk and towns with more diverse external connectivity, suggesting a surplus of \textit{bridging social capital} are less exposed to corruption. We interpret fragmentation as fostering in-group favoritism and conformity, which increase corruption, while diversity facilitates impartiality in public life and stifles corruption.

description: This thesis is an effort to demonstrate in an integrated way, the framework of eco ports and to assess the contribution of the Multi Criteria Decision Analysis, (MCDA) method, as a tool for choosing the most environmentally appropriate place for the construction of a port and also to environmentally evaluate existing ports using ecological indicators. A general description for the environmental problems of ports is provided. Also an analysis of the environmental indicators that evaluate an eco port is presented The most common methods of MCDA are presented, as well as the Decision Making Software, (DMS) that supports the implementation of these methods. In this thesis there is also presented a comparison table for various DMS software based on five criteria, in order to evaluate and choose the most suitable software for the case. According to this table the «MindDecider» was found as the most appropriate and user friendly software. This thesis is completed with the implementation of the multi criteria method of placement or evaluating commercial ports using the pre chosen software for six commercial port scenarios. At the end of the thesis conclusions and suggestions are presented for further study.
The effects of non-tariff measures on agri-food trade: a review and meta-analysis of empirical evidence

description: The increasing policy interests and the vivid academic debate on non-tariff measures (NTMs) has stimulated a growing literature on how NTMs affect agrifood trade. The empirical literature provides contrasting and heterogeneous evidence, with some studies supporting the standards as catalysts view, and others favouring the standards as barriers explanation. To the extent that NTMs can influence trade, understanding the prevailing effect, and the motivations behind one effect or the other, is a pressing issue. We review a large body of empirical evidence on the effect of NTMs on agri-food trade and conduct a meta-analysis to disentangle potential determinants of heterogeneity in estimates. Our findings show the role played by the publication process and by study-specific assumptions. Some characteristics of the studies are correlated with positive significant estimates, others covary with negative significant estimates. Overall, we found that the effects of NTMs vary across types of NTMs, proxy for NTMs, and levels of details of studies. Not negligible is the influence of methodological issues and publication process.
Atomic Totem: Australian Settler Nuclearism, the Disavowal of Aboriginality and Morbid Reconciliation
Creators: name: Roberts, Annelise
Publisher: name: Apocalyptica
Year: 2024

description: Although the actual welfare of nearby Aṉangu populations was so clearly disregarded throughout the period of British nuclear testing in South Australia in the 1950s and 60s, curiously, the aesthetics of the nuclear testing project itself were awash with Aboriginal-derived symbolism, imagery, and language. From the names of testing sites and operations, to the declaration by a member of the surveying crew to the media that a mushroom cloud was “a perfect portrait of a myall blackfeller written with atomic dust,” the nuclear testing was repeatedly associated with Aboriginality. This was not a practice unique to Australia; as Jessica Hurley notes, other nuclear-armed nations shared this “compulsion to name nuclear laboratories and technologies after [Indigenous] nations, practices and spaces” (2018, 97). In this essay, I draw on a range of textual sources—a memoir by government surveyor and raconteur Len Beadell, as well as less traditionally ‘literary’ texts (such as place-naming practices)—to examine the ways in which this appropriative act points to a complex process of disavowal that takes place in the settler imaginary. Focusing on the mid-century Australian context, I find that where the existential anxieties of the nuclear age meet the unconfronted violence and dispossession of colonialism, confused and uncanny visions arise; partial acknowledgements of the primacy of First Nations’ claims to country arise in the moment at which all the possibilities of nuclearism—megadeath, the new atomic potential for massive violence and destruction—are also present. In this field, a strange and morbid vision of settler/Indigenous reconciliation emerges from the settler cultural imaginary.

description: Observations of a doubly driven V system probed to a fourth level in an N configuration are reported. A dressed state analysis is also presented. The expected three-peak spectrum is explored in a cold rubidium sample in a magneto-optic trap. Good agreement is found between the dressed state theory and the experimental spectra once light shifts and uncoupled absorptions in the rubidium system are taken into account.

description: The subject of this diploma thesis is the development of basic photogrammetric processes in order to monitor the dynamic behaviour of concrete beams exposed to mechanical strain. It is a part of a series of loading experiments that aim to study the structure’s behaviour using mathematical simulations, analytical methods and computer programming. An automatic target recognition algorithm was developed that aims to calculate 3D coordinates of points on the surface of the concrete beam during the loading epochs, based on adaptive least squares matching. The 3D coordinates of specific points are not only used to compute displacements on the surface from the beginning of the loading test to the total beam breakage, but also to identify areas where most of the cracks are detected.

Landauer Conductance and Nonequilibrium Noise of One-Dimensional Interacting Electron Systems

Subjects: subject: Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics (cond-mat.mes-hall)
subject: Strongly Correlated Electrons (cond-mat.str-el)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The conductance of one-dimensional interacting electron systems is calculated in a manner similar to Landauer's argument for non-interacting systems. Unlike in previous studies in which the Kubo formula was used, the conductance is directly evaluated as the ratio of current $J$ to the chemical potential difference $Δμ$ between right-going and left-going particles. It is shown that both $J$ and $Δμ$ are renormalized by electron-electron (e-e) interactions, but their ratio, the conductance, is not renormalized at all if the e-e interactions are the only scattering mechanism. It is also shown that nonequilibrium current fluctuation at low frequency is absent in such a case. These conclusions are drawn for both Fermi liquids (in which quasi-particles are accompanied with the backflow) and Tomonaga-Luttinger liquids.

Quantum Zeno Effect with the Feynman-Mensky Path-Integral Approach

Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)

description: A model for quantum Zeno effect based upon an effective Schrödinger equation originated by the path-integral approach is developed and applied to a two-level system simultaneously stimulated by a resonant perturbation. It is shown that inhibition of stimulated transitions between the two levels appears as a consequence of the influence of the meter whenever measurements of energy, either continuous or pulsed, are performed at quantum level of sensitivity. The generality of this approach allows to qualitatively understand the inhibition of spontaneous transitions as the decay of unstable particles, originally presented as a paradox of quantum measurement theory.

description: Die Durchführung eines gendersensiblen Naturwissenschaftsunterrichts stellt eine zentrale Herausforderung für (angehende) Lehrkräfte dar. Von Lehrkräften wird erwartet, dass sie Genderungerechtigkeiten im Unterricht wahrnehmen, Geschlechterstereotype abbauen und die Lernenden unabhängig von ihrem Geschlecht fördern. Dazu müssen sie zunächst genderrelevante Aspekte im Unterricht wahrnehmen und über Wissen in Bezug auf gendersensiblen Naturwissenschaftsunterricht verfügen, damit sie adäquat mit kritischen Aspekten im Unterricht umgehen können. Unterrichtsvignetten können eine geeignete Grundlage darstellen, um angehende Lehrkräfte für genderrelevante Aspekte im Naturwissenschaftsunterricht zu sensibilisieren. Im vorliegenden Beitrag werden Vignetten als eine Möglichkeit zur Förderung der Genderkompetenz angehender Lehrkräfte im Naturwissenschaftsunterricht der Sekundarstufe I vorgestellt.

Structure of Probabilistic Information and Quantum Laws

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2001
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)

description: In quantum experiments the acquisition and representation of basic experimental information is governed by the multinomial probability distribution. There exist unique random variables, whose standard deviation becomes asymptotically invariant of physical conditions. Representing all information by means of such random variables gives the quantum mechanical probability amplitude and a real alternative. For predictions, the linear evolution law (Schrodinger or Dirac equation) turns out to be the only way to extend the invariance property of the standard deviation to the predicted quantities. This indicates that quantum theory originates in the structure of gaining pure, probabilistic information, without any mechanical underpinning.

description: Abstract

Inventory management is a critical balancing act for companies, serving as both an operational necessity and a significant financial burden. This study focuses on optimizing spare parts inventory management in a cosmetics factory, addressing the substantial costs associated with poor practices such as stockouts and overstocking. Our research implements a novel management policy to enhance spare parts inventory control. The methodology comprises three key phases: 1. Classification of spare parts based on criticality: We developed a multi-criteria system considering factors such as unit price, lead time, and consumption rate to categorize spare parts effectively. 2. Performance criteria calculation: We evaluated the cosmetics company's current inventory management practices using key performance indicators (KPIs) such as average inventory levels, turnover rates, and coverage ratios.3. Application of the Wilson Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) model: Based on our classification and performance analysis, we employed the Wilson model to determine optimal order quantities for different spare part categories. This integrated approach allowed us to validate our study's effectiveness and provide data-driven recommendations for inventory optimization. By combining criticality-based classification with quantitative modeling, our research offers a comprehensive framework for managing spare parts inventory in the cosmetics industry.

description: We investigate the combined influence of a magnetic field and a harmonic interparticle interaction on the thermodynamic properties of a finite number of spin polarized fermions in a confiment potential. This study is an extension using our path integral approach of symmetrized density matrices for identical particles. The thermodynamical properties are calculated for a three dimensional model of N harmonically interacting spin polarized fermions in a parabolic potential well in the presence of a magnetic field. The free energy and the internal energy are obtained for a limited number of particles. Deviations from the thermodynamical limit become negligible for about 100 or more particles, but even for a smaller number of fermions present in the well, scaling relations similar to those of the continuum approximation to the density of states are already satisfied.
