Creators: name: No Name Supplied
Publisher: name: State of New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection Air Quality Permitting Program
Year: 1997

description: These State of the Art (SOTA) performance levels apply to all newly constructed, reconstructed, or modified surface coating operations and spray booths.  They are defined, but are not limited to the following categories of surface coating operations:  can coating, magnetic wire coating, miscellaneous metal parts, flat wood panel coating, paper coating, polymeric coating of supporting substrates, automobile and light duty truck coating, pressure sensitive tapes and labels, metal coil coating, large appliance coating, metal furniture coating, magnetic tape manufacturing, plastic parts coating for business machines, wood furniture manufacturing surface coating, aerospace manufacturing and rework facilities coating, vinyl coating, urethane coating, and miscellaneous surface coating.  As promulgated in the New Jersey Air Pollution Control Act N.J.S.A. 26:2C-9.2C, and as set forth in the implementing regulations of the Air Pollution Control Act (N.J.A.C. 7:27-8 and N.J.A.C. 7:27-22.35), newly constructed, reconstructed, or modified equipment and control apparatus is required to incorporate advances in the art of air pollution control developed for the kind and amount of air contaminant emitted by the applicant's equipment or control apparatus.  The Air Pollution Control Act of New Jersey directed the Department to publish technical manuals that would include performance levels with respect to air pollution control, to be used by some permit applicants for demonstrating advances in the art of air pollution control.  'Advances in the art of air pollution control' is commonly referred to as 'State-of-the-Art' or SOTA.  SOTA generally includes performance limits that are based on air pollution control technology, pollution prevention methods, and process modifications or substitutions that will provide the greatest emission reductions that are technologically and economically feasible.  There are 17 SOTA manuals included in this series.  They cover the following topics:  volatile organic storage tanks; transfer operations; petroleum refineries; asphalt plants; chemical and pharmaceutical processing and manufacturing industries; degreasers and other solvent based metal surface cleaners; surface coating operations; commercial sterilizers and fumigators using ethylene oxide; municipal wastewater/sludge handling and treatment systems; non-hazardous onsite remediation processes; bakery ovens; broilers; internal combustion engines; stationary gas turbines; glass industry; paint, ink, and adhesive manufacturing industries; graphic arts industry.

description: We study thermal convection in a rotating fluid in order to better understand the properties of convection zones in rotating stars and planets. We first derive mixing-length theory for rapidly-rotating convection, arriving at the results of Stevenson (1979) via simple physical arguments. The theory predicts the properties of convection as a function of the imposed heat flux and rotation rate, independent of microscopic diffusivities. In particular, it predicts the mean temperature gradient; the rms velocity and temperature fluctuations; and the size of the eddies that dominate heat transport. We test all of these predictions with high resolution three-dimensional hydrodynamical simulations of Boussinesq convection in a Cartesian box. The results agree remarkably well with the theory across more than two orders of magnitude in rotation rate. For example, the temperature gradient is predicted to scale as the rotation rate to the 4/5th power at fixed flux, and the simulations yield $0.75\pm 0.06$. We conclude that the mixing length theory is a solid foundation for understanding the properties of convection zones in rotating stars and planets.

description: Abstract: We present the two-loop leading colour QCD helicity amplitudes for the process pp → W (→ lν)γ + j. We implement a complete reduction of the amplitudes, including the leptonic decay of the W-boson, using finite field arithmetic, and extract the analytic finite remainders using a recently identified basis of special functions. Simplified analytic expressions are obtained after considering permutations of a rational kinematic parametrisation and multivariate partial fractioning. We demonstrate efficient numerical evaluation of the two-loop colour and helicity summed finite remainders for physical kinematics, and hence the suitability for phenomenological applications.
Pipe Poiseuille flow of viscously anisotropic, partially molten rock

description: Laboratory experiments in which synthetic, partially molten rock is subjected to forced deformation provide a context for testing hypotheses about the dynamics and rheology of the mantle. Here our hypothesis is that the aggregate viscosity of partially molten mantle is anisotropic, and that this anisotropy arises from deviatoric stresses in the rock matrix. We formulate a model of pipe Poiseuille flow based on theory by Takei and Holtzman [2009a] and Takei and Katz [2013]. Pipe Poiseuille is a configuration that is accessible to laboratory experimentation but for which there are no published results. We analyse the model system through linearised analysis and numerical simulations. This analysis predicts two modes of melt segregation: migration of melt from the centre of the pipe toward the wall and localisation of melt into high-porosity bands that emerge near the wall, at a low angle to the shear plane. We compare our results to those of Takei and Katz [2013] for plane Poiseuille flow; we also describe a new approximation of radially varying anisotropy that improves the self-consistency of models over those of Takei and Katz [2013]. This study provides a set of baseline, quantitative predictions to compare with future laboratory experiments on forced pipe Poiseuille flow of partially molten mantle.

Parton Distributions
SMEFT

description: Abstract: We present a new methodology that is able to yield a simultaneous determination of the Parton Distribution Functions (PDFs) of the proton alongside any set of parameters that determine the theory predictions; whether within the Standard Model (SM) or beyond it. The SIMUnet methodology is based on an extension of the NNPDF4.0 neural network architecture, which allows the addition of an extra layer to simultaneously determine PDFs alongside an arbitrary number of such parameters. We illustrate its capabilities by simultaneously fitting PDFs with a subset of Wilson coefficients within the Standard Model Effective Field Theory framework and show how the methodology extends naturally to larger subsets of Wilson coefficients and to other SM precision parameters, such as the strong coupling constant or the heavy quark masses.

Abstract: The widespread deployment of sensors interconnected by wireless links, together with the management and exploitation of the data collected have given rise to the concept of Internet of Things (IoT). However, despite the large number of wireless sensor networks already available in the market, there are still many issues to be addressed on the development and deployment of wireless array of sensor nodes capable of responding to the demand and service requirements of Smart City applications. In this paper, we undertake the design and development of a wireless sensor node following the Fog Computing paradigm. Our design is based on the integration of various off-the-shelf sensors smartly packaged into an air-flow module and the use of low-power communications technologies. Our results include a comparative energy consumption study based on two different communication technologies.

description: Anomalous correlators of vector and axial currents which enter the Kubo formulae for the chiral magnetic and the chiral separation conductivities are explicitly calculated for free overlap fermions on the lattice. The results are confronted with continuum calculations in the finite-temperature regularization, and a subtle point of such regularization for chiral magnetic conductivity related to the correct counting of the chiral states is highlighted. In agreement with some previous claims in the literature, we find that in a lattice regularization which respects gauge invariance, the chiral magnetic conductivity vanishes. We point out that the relation of anomalous transport coefficients to axial anomaly is nontrivial due to the non-commutativity of their infrared limit and the Taylor expansion in baryon or chiral chemical potential. In particular, we argue that the vector and axial Ward identities fix the asymptotic behavior of anomalous current-current correlators in the limit of large momenta. Basing on the work of Knecht et al. on the perturbative non-renormalization of the transverse part of the correlator of two vector and one axial currents, we demonstrate that the relation of the anomalous vector-vector correlator to axial anomaly holds perturbatively in massless QCD but might be subject to non-perturbative corrections. Finally, we identify kinematical regimes in which the anomalous transport coefficients can be extracted from lattice measurements.

description: Engineering effective p-wave superconductors hosting Majorana quasiparticles (MQPs) is nowadays of particular interest, also in view of the possible utilization of MQPs in fault-tolerant topological quantum computation. In quasi-one-dimensional systems, the parameter space for topological superconductivity is significantly reduced by the coupling between transverse modes. Together with the requirement of achieving the topological phase under experimentally feasible conditions, this strongly restricts in practice the choice of systems which can host MQPs. Here, we demonstrate that semiconducting carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in proximity with ultrathin s-wave superconductors, e.g., exfoliated NbSe2, satisfy these needs. By precise numerical tight-binding calculations in the real space, we show the emergence of localized zero-energy states at the CNT ends above a critical value of the applied magnetic field, of which we show the spatial evolution. Knowing the microscopic wave functions, we unequivocally demonstrate the Majorana nature of the localized states. An effective four-band model in the k-space, with parameters determined from the numerical spectrum, is used to calculate the topological phase diagram and its phase boundaries in analytic form. Finally, the impact of symmetry breaking contributions, like disorder and an axial component of the magnetic field, is investigated.

description: Kirkendall porosity that forms during interdiffusion in a diffusion couple of nickel‐base superalloy CMSX‐10 with pure nickel is investigated. The diffusion experiments are conducted at a temperature of 1250 °C, where the strengthening γ′‐phase is partially dissolved. The porosity is studied by X‐ray sub‐μ tomography with a spatial resolution of about 0.353 μm3 at the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF) in Grenoble, France. It is found that depending on the distance from the interface the Kirkendall pores take different shapes: octahedral, rounded pyramidal, drop shaped, dendritic, pear shaped, and joint shapes. Such a variety of pore morphologies indicates a complex multistage process of porosity nucleation and growth under vacancy supersaturation of different degrees. The experimental findings are interpreted on the basis of the results of diffusion modeling. It is shown that the kinetics of porosity growth is essentially influenced by the dissolution of the γ′‐phase.

description: We theoretically study the excitation spectrum of a two-dimensional Dirac semimetal in the presence of an incommensurate potential. Such models have been shown to possess magic-angle critical points in the single particle wavefunctions, signalled by a momentum space delocalization of plane wave eigenstates and flat bands due to a vanishing Dirac cone velocity. Using the kernel polynomial method, we compute the single particle Green's function to extract the nature of the single particle excitation energy, damping rate, and quasiparticle residue. As a result, we are able to clearly demonstrate the redistribution of spectral weight due to quasiperiodicity-induced downfolding of the Brillouin zone creating minibands with effective mini Brillouin zones that correspond to emergent superlattices. By computing the damping rate we show that the vanishing of the velocity and generation of finite density of states at the magic-angle transition coincides with the development of an imaginary part in the self energy and a suppression of the quasiparticle residue that vanishes in a power law like fashion. Observing these effects with ultracold atoms using momentum resolved radiofrequency spectroscopy is discussed.

description: Linear properties of kinetic Alfvén waves (KAWs) and kinetic slow waves (KSWs) are studied in the framework of two-fluid magnetohydrodynamics. We obtain the wave dispersion relations that are valid in a wide range of the wave frequency $ω$ and plasma-to-magnetic pressure ratio $β$. The KAW frequency can reach and exceed the ion cyclotron frequency at ion kinetic scales, whereas the KSW frequency remains sub-cyclotron. At $β\sim 1$, the plasma and magnetic pressure perturbations of both modes are in anti-phase, so that there is nearly no total pressure perturbations. However, these modes exhibit also several opposite properties. At high $% β$, the electric polarization ratios of KAWs and KSWs are opposite at the ion gyroradius scale, where KAWs are polarized in sense of electron gyration (right-hand polarized) and KSWs are left-hand polarized. The magnetic helicity $σ\sim 1$ for KAWs and $σ\sim -1$ for KSWs, and the ion Alfvén ratio $R_{Ai}\ll 1$ for KAWs and $R_{Ai}\gg 1$ for KSWs. We also found transition wavenumbers where KAWs change their polarization from left- to right-hand. These new properties can be used to discriminate KAWs and KSWs when interpreting kinetic-scale electromagnetic fluctuations observed in various solar-terrestrial plasmas. This concerns, in particular, identification of modes responsible for kinetic-scale pressure-balanced fluctuations and turbulence in the solar wind.

description: A new method for synthesizing Single-Bit Reconfigurable Passive Electromagnetic Skins (1RP-EMSs) featuring advanced beam shaping capabilities is proposed. By using single-bit unit cells, the multi-scale problem of controlling 1RP-EMSs is formulated as a two-phase process. First, the macro-scale synthesis of the discrete surface current that radiates the electromagnetic (EM) field fitting user-designed requirements is performed by means of an innovative quantized version of the iterative projection method (QIPM). Successively, the meta-atom states of the 1RP-EMS are optimized with a customized implementation of the System-by-Design paradigm to yield a 1RP-EMS that supports such a feasible reference current. A representative set of numerical results is reported to assess the effectiveness of the proposed approach in designing and controlling single-bit meta-atom RP-EMSs that enable complex wave manipulations.
Double hybrid density-functional theory using the Coulomb-attenuating method

Year: 2013

description: A double hybrid approximation using the Coulomb-attenuating method (CAM-DH) is derived within range-separated density-functional perturbation theory, in the spirit of a recent work by Cornaton {\it et al.} [Phys. Rev. A 88, 022516 (2013)]. The energy expression recovered through second order is linear in the parameters $α$ and $β$ that control the Coulomb attenuation. The method has been tested within the local density approximation on a small test set consisting of rare-gas and alkaline-earth-metal dimers as well as diatomics with single, double and triple bonds. In this context, the semi-empirical $α=0.19$ and $β=0.46$ parameters, that were optimized for the hybrid CAM-B3LYP functional, do not provide accurate interaction and total energies. Using semi-local functionals with density scaling, that was neglected in this work, may lead to different conclusions. Calibration studies on a larger test set would be necessary at this point. This is left for future work. Finally, we propose as a perspective an alternative CAM-DH approach that relies on the perturbation expansion of a partially long-range interacting wavefunction. In this case the energy is not linear anymore in $α$ and $β$. Work is in progress in this direction.

description: Current modeling of infectious diseases allows for the study of complex and realistic scenarios that go from the population to the individual level of description. However, most epidemic models assume that the spreading process takes place on a single level (be it a single population, a meta-population system or a network of contacts). In particular, interdependent contagion phenomena can only be addressed if we go beyond the scheme one pathogen-one network. In this paper, we propose a framework that allows describing the spreading dynamics of two concurrent diseases. Specifically, we characterize analytically the epidemic thresholds of the two diseases for different scenarios and also compute the temporal evolution characterizing the unfolding dynamics. Results show that there are regions of the parameter space in which the onset of a disease's outbreak is conditioned to the prevalence levels of the other disease. Moreover, we show, for the SIS scheme, that under certain circumstances, finite and not vanishing epidemic thresholds are found even at the thermodynamic limit for scale-free networks. For the SIR scenario, the phenomenology is richer and additional interdependencies show up. We also find that the secondary thresholds for the SIS and SIR models are different, which results directly from the interaction between both diseases. Our work thus solve an important problem and pave the way towards a more comprehensive description of the dynamics of interacting diseases.

description: We extend the relativistic Hartree-Fock (RHF) theory to study the structure of single-$Λ$ hypernuclei. The density dependence is taken in both meson-nucleon and meson-hyperon coupling strengths, and the induced $Λ$-nucleon ($ΛN$) effective interactions are determined by fitting $Λ$ separation energies to the experimental data for several single-$Λ$ hypernuclei. The equilibrium of nuclear dynamics described by the RHF model in normal atomic nuclei, namely, the balance between nuclear attractive and repulsive interactions, is then found to be drastically changed in single-$Λ$ hypernuclei, revealing a different role of Fock terms via $Λ$ hyperon from the nucleon exchange. Since only one hyperon exists in a single-$Λ$ hypernucleus, the overwhelmed $ΛN$ and $ΛΛ$ attractions via the Hartree than the $ΛΛ$ repulsion from the Fock terms require an alternation of meson-hyperon coupling strengths in RHF to rebalance the effective nuclear force with the strangeness degree of freedom, leading to an improved description of $Λ$ Dirac mass and correspondingly a systematically reduced $σ$-$Λ$ coupling strength $g_{σΛ}$ in current models as compared to those relativistic mean-field (RMF) approaches without Fock terms. As a result, the effective $Λ$ spin-orbit coupling potential in the ground state of hypernuclei is suppressed, and these RHF models predict correspondingly a quenching effect in $Λ$ spin-orbit splitting in comparison with the RMF cases. Furthermore, the $Λ$ spin-orbit splitting could decrease efficiently by evolving the hyperon-relevant couplings $g_{σΛ}$ and $g_{ωΛ}$ simultaneously, where to reconcile with the empirical value the RHF models address a larger parameter space of meson-hyperon couplings.

description: We derive relativistic second-order dissipative fluid-dynamical equations of motion for massive spin-1/2 particles from kinetic theory using the method of moments. Besides the usual conservation laws for charge, energy, and momentum, such a theory of relativistic dissipative spin hydrodynamics features an equation of motion for the rank-3 spin tensor, which follows from the conservation of total angular momentum. Extending the conventional method of moments for spin-0 particles, we expand the spin-dependent distribution function near local equilibrium in terms of moments of the momentum and spin variables. We work to next-to-leading order in the Planck constant $\hbar$. As shown in previous work, at this order in $\hbar$ the Boltzmann equation for spin-1/2 particles features a nonlocal collision term. From the Boltzmann equation, we then obtain an infinite set of equations of motion for the irreducible moments of the deviation of the single-particle distribution function from local equilibrium. In order to close this system of moment equations, a truncation procedure is needed. We employ the "14+24-moment approximation", where "14" corresponds to the components of the charge current and the energy-momentum tensor and "24" to the components of the spin tensor, which completes the derivation of the equations of motion of second-order dissipative spin hydrodynamics. For applications to heavy-ion phenomenology, we also determine dissipative corrections to the Pauli-Lubanski vector.

description: From the time that EPA introduced the offset program for new sources of air emissions in 1976, numerous analyses have pointed to the potential economic and environmental benefits of trading pollution-reduction credits. Given the scope of the potential benefits from trading, why has the growth of trading been so slow? What accounts for some of the differences between the extent of trading within the air, surface water, and wetlands programs? To answer those questions, and to understand the current status of trading activities across the country, this research evaluated nine trading programs in air, water, and wetlands. One included case study is the New Jersey Open Market Emissions Trading program (see the separate appendix for more information).

description: In the hot (an)isotropic plasma the meson life time $τ$ is defined as a time scale after which the meson dissociates. According to the gauge/gravity duality, this time can be identified with the inverse of the imaginary part of the frequency of the quasinormal modes, $ω_I$, in the (an)isotropic black hole background. In the high temperature limit, we numerically show that at fixed temperature(entropy density) the life time of the mesons decreases(increases) as the anisotropy parameter raises. For general case, at fixed temperature we introduce a polynomial function for $ω_I$ and observe that the meson life time decreases. Moreover, we realize that $(s/T^3)^6$, where $s$ and $T$ are entropy density and temperature of the plasma respectively, can be expressed as a function of anisotropy parameter over temperature. Interestingly, this function is a Padé approximant.

description: In an entanglement swapping scenario, if two sources sharing entangled states between three parties are independent, local correlations lead to a different kind of inequalities than the standard Bell inequalities, known as network local models. A highly demanding task is to find out a way to involve many players nontrivially in a quantum network since measurements, in general, disturb the system. To this end, we consider here a novel way of sharing network nonlocality when two observers initially share close to a maximally entangled states. We report that by employing unsharp measurements performed by one of the observers, six pairs can sequentially demonstrate the violation of bilocal correlations while a maximum of two pairs of observers can exhibit bi-nonlocality when both the observers perform unsharp measurements. We also find the critical noise involved in unsharp measurements in each round to illustrate the bi-nonlocality for a fixed shared entangled state as a resource. We also establish a connection between entanglement content of the shared state, quantified via von-Neumann entropy of the local density matrix for pure states and entanglement of formation for Werner states, and the maximum number of rounds showing violation of bilocal correlations. By reducing entanglement content in the elements of the joint measurement by the third party, we observe that the maximum number reduces to two sequential sharing of bi-nonlocality even for the maximally entangled state when the settings at each side are taken to be three and fixed.

description: The characteristic properties of the hot nuclear matter existing at the time of fragment formation in the multifragmentation events produced in the reaction $^{64}$Zn + $^{112}$Sn at 40 MeV/nucleon are studied. A kinematical focusing method is employed to determine the multiplicities of evaporated light particles, associated with isotopically identified detected fragments. From these data the primary isotopic yield distributions are reconstructed using a Monte Carlo method. The reconstructed yield distributions are in good agreement with the primary isotope distributions obtained from AMD transport model simulations. Utilizing the reconstructed yields, power distribution, Landau free energy, characteristic properties of the emitting source are examined. The primary mass distributions exhibit a power law distribution with the critical exponent, $A^{-2.3}$, for $A \geq 15$ isotopes, but significantly deviates from that for the lighter isotopes. Landau free energy plots show no strong signature of the first order phase transition. Based on the Modified Fisher Model, the ratios of the Coulomb and symmetry energy coefficients relative to the temperature, $a_{c}/T$ and $a_{sym}/T$, are extracted as a function of A. The extracted $a_{sym}/T$ values are compared with results of the AMD simulations using Gogny interactions with different density dependencies of the symmetry energy term. The calculated $a_{sym}/T$ values show a close relation to the symmetry energy at the density at the time of the fragment formation. From this relation the density of the fragmenting source is determined to be $ρ/ρ_{0} = (0.63 \pm 0.03 )$. Using this density, the symmetry energy coefficient and the temperature of fragmenting source are determined in a self-consistent manner as $a_{sym} = (24.7 \pm 3.4) MeV$ and $T=(4.9 \pm 0.2)$ MeV.

description: Barium stars have been studied extensively over the past few decades, yet our current understanding of how these intriguing objects formed leaves much to be desired. Many trends observed in systems containing barium stars cannot be satisfactorily explained by classical binary evolution models, naturally raising the question of whether triples and other higher-order multiples can give rise to such exotic objects. In this paper, we study the possibility that a Roche Lobe overflow from a tertiary in a hierarchical triple system can potentially lead to surface barium enrichment within the inner binary, while at the same time causing the inner binary to merge, thereby producing a barium star. This possibility has the potential to form a large proportion of Barium stars, as Roche Lobe overflow from a tertiary is typically much more stable for close orbits than that from a binary companion. Various formation channels and mechanisms by which this can be achieved are considered, and constraints on relative formation rates are placed on each scenario. We conclude that a significant, if not dominant, proportion of barium stars are formed from hierarchical triple systems, and that further studies are required in this area before a complete understanding of Barium star populations can be achieved.

description: We study a natural generalization of the noncrossing relation between pairs of elements in [n] to k-tuples in [n] that was first considered by Petersen, Pylyavskyy, Speyer (2010). We give an alternative approach to their result that the flag simplicial complex on $\binom{[n]}{k}$ induced by this relation is a regular, unimodular and flag triangulation of the order polytope of the poset given by the product $[k]\times[n-k]$ of two chains (also called Gelfand-Tsetlin polytope), and that it is the join of a simplex and a sphere (that is, it is a Gorenstein triangulation). We then observe that this already implies the existence of a flag simplicial polytope generalizing the dual associahedron, whose Stanley-Reisner ideal is an initial ideal of the Graßmann-Plücker ideal, while previous constructions of such a polytope did not guarantee flagness nor reduced to the dual associahedron for k=2. On our way we provide general results about order polytopes and their triangulations. We call the simplicial complex the noncrossing complex, and the polytope derived from it the dual Graßmann associahedron. We extend results of Petersen, Pylyavskyy, Speyer (2010) showing that the non-crossing complex and the Graßmann associahedron naturally reflect the relations between Graßmannians with different parameters, in particular the isomorphism $G_{k,n} \cong G_{n-k,n}$. Moreover, our approach allows us to show that the adjacency graph of the noncrossing complex admits a natural acyclic orientation that allows us to define a Graßmann-Tamari order on maximal noncrossing families. Finally, we look at the precise relation of the noncrossing complex and the weak separability complex of Leclerc, Zelevinsky (1998) and show that the weak separability complex is the cyclically invariant part of the noncrossibg complex.
