description: The extreme versatility of two-dimensional van der Waals (vdW) materials derives from their ability to exhibit new electronic properties when assembled in proximity with dissimilar crystals. For example, although graphene is inherently non-magnetic, recent work has reported a magnetic proximity effect in graphene interfaced with magnetic substrates, potentially enabling a pathway towards achieving a high-temperature quantum anomalous Hall effect. Here, we investigate heterostructures of graphene and chromium trihalide magnetic insulators (CrI$_3$, CrBr$_3$, and CrCl$_3$). Surprisingly, we are unable to detect a magnetic exchange field in the graphene, but instead discover proximity effects featuring unprecedented gate-tunability. The graphene becomes highly hole-doped due to charge transfer from the neighboring magnetic insulator, and further exhibits a variety of atypical transport features. These include highly extended quantum Hall plateaus, abrupt reversals in the Landau level filling sequence, and hysteresis over at least days-long time scales. In the case of CrI$_3$, we are able to completely suppress the charge transfer and all attendant atypical transport effects by gating. The charge transfer can additionally be altered in a first-order phase transition upon switching the magnetic states of the nearest CrI$_3$ layers. Our results provide a roadmap for exploiting the magnetic proximity effect in graphene, and motivate further experiments with other magnetic insulators.

subject: 580 Pflanzen (Botanik)

description: Despite the evidence that increased frequency and magnitude of extreme climate events (ECE) considerably affect plant performance, there is still a lack of knowledge about how these events affect mountain plant biodiversity and mountain ecosystem functioning. Here, we assessed the short-term (one vegetation period) effects of simulated ECEs [ extreme drought (DR), advanced and delayed snowmelt (AD and DE), respectively] on the performance of 42 plant species occurring in the Bavarian Alps (Germany) along an elevational gradient of 600-2000 ma.s.l. in terms of vegetative growth and reproduction performance. We demonstrate that plant vegetative and generative traits respond differently to the simulated ECEs, but the nature and magnitude treatment effects strongly depend on study site location along the elevational gradient, species' altitudinal origin and plant functional type (PFT) of the target species. For example, the negative effect of DR treatment on growth (e.g., lower growth rates and lower leaf nitrogen content) and reproduction (e.g., lower seed mass) was much stronger in upland sites, as compared to lowlands. Species' response to the treatments also differed according to their altitudinal origin. Specifically, upland species responded negatively to extreme DR (e.g., lower growth rates and lower leaf carbon concentrations, smaller seed set), whereas performance of lowland species remained unaffected (e.g., stable seed set and seed size) or even positively responded (e.g., higher growth rates) to that treatment. Furthermore, we were able to detect some consistent differences in responses to the ECEs among three PFTs (forbs, graminoids, and legumes). For instance, vegetative growth and sexual reproduction of highly adaptable opportunistic graminoids positively responded to nearly all ECEs, likely on the costs of other, more conservative, forbs and legumes. Our results suggest that ECEs can significantly modify the performance of specific plant groups and therefore lead to changes in plant community structure and composition under ongoing climate change. Our study therefore underlines the need for more experimental studies on the effects of extreme climate events to understand the potential consequences of climate change for the alpine ecosystem.

description: Triggered by ongoing experimental analyses, we report on a study of the cross section ratio sigma(pp -> ttbb)/sigma(pp -> ttjj) at the next-to-leading order in QCD, focusing on both present and future collider energies: sqrt{s}= 7, 8, 13 TeV. In particular, we provide a comparison between our predictions and the currently available CMS data for the 8 TeV run. We further analyse the kinematics and scale uncertainties of the two processes for a single set of parton distribution functions, with the goal of assessing possible correlations that might help to reduce the theoretical error of the ratio and thus enhance the predictive power of this observable. We argue that the different jet kinematics makes the ttbb and ttjj processes uncorrelated in several observables, and show that the scale uncertainty is not significantly reduced when taking the ratio of the cross sections.

description: Geometric curvature of nanoscale magnetic shells brings about curvature-induced anisotropy and Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI). Here, we derive equations to describe the profile of the magnetic vortex state in a spherical cap. We demonstrate that the azimuthal component of magnetization acquires a finite tilt at the edge of the cap, which results in the increase of the magnetic surface energy. This is different compared to the case of a closed spherical shell, where symmetry of the texture does not allow any tilt of magnetization at the equator of the sphere. Furthermore, we analyze the size of the vortex core in a spherical cap and show that the presence of the curvature-induced DMI leads to the increase of the core size independent of the product of the circulation and polarity of the vortex. This is in contrast to the case of planar disks with intrinsic DMI, where the preferred direction of circulation as well as the decrease or increase of the size of vortex core is determined by the sign of the product of the circulation and polarity with respect to the sign of the constant of the intrinsic DMI.

description: Entanglement measures such as the entanglement entropy have become an indispensable tool to identify the fundamental character of ground states of interacting quantum many-body systems. For systems of interacting spin or bosonic degrees of freedom much recent progress has been made not only in the analytical description of their respective entanglement entropies but also in their numerical classification. Systems of interacting fermionic degrees of freedom however have proved to be more difficult to control, in particular with regard to the numerical understanding of their entanglement properties. Here we report a generalization of the replica technique for the calculation of Renyi entropies to the framework of determinantal Quantum Monte Carlo simulations -- the numerical method of choice for unbiased, large-scale simulations of interacting fermionic systems. We demonstrate the strength of this approach over a recent alternative proposal based on a decomposition in free fermion Green's functions by studying the entanglement entropy of one-dimensional Hubbard systems both at zero and finite temperatures.

description: We address the problem of analytic continuation of imaginary-frequency Green's functions, which is crucial in many-body physics, using machine learning based on a multi-level residual neural network. We specifically address potential biases that can be introduced due to the use of artificially created spectral functions that are employed to train the neural network. We also implement an uncertainty estimation of the predicted spectral function, based on Monte Carlo dropout, which allows to identify frequency regions where the prediction might not be accurate, and we study the effect of noise, in particular also for situations where the noise level during training is different from that in the actual data. Our analysis demonstrates that this method can indeed achieve a high quality of prediction, comparable or better than the widely used maximum entropy method, but that further improvement is currently limited by the lack of true data that can be used for training. We also benchmark our approach by applying it to the case of SrVO$_3$, where an accurate spectral function has been obtained from dynamical mean-field theory using a solver that works directly on the real frequency axis.

description: Quantum Monte-Carlo simulations of hybrid quantum-classical models such as the double exchange Hamiltonian require calculating the density of states of the quantum degrees of freedom at every step. Unfortunately, the computational complexity of exact diagonalization grows $ \mathcal{O} (N^3)$ as a function of the system's size $ N $, making it prohibitively expensive for any realistic system. We consider leveraging data-driven methods, namely neural networks, to replace the exact diagonalization step in order to speed up sample generation. We explore a model that learns the free energy for each spin configuration and a second one that learns the Hamiltonian's eigenvalues. We implement data augmentation by taking advantage of the Hamiltonian's symmetries to artificially enlarge our training set and benchmark the different models by evaluating several thermodynamic quantities. While all models considered here perform exceedingly well in the one-dimensional case, only the neural network that outputs the eigenvalues is able to capture the right behavior in two dimensions. The simplicity of the architecture we use in conjunction with the model agnostic form of the neural networks can enable fast sample generation without the need of a researcher's intervention.

description: The chromatin remodeling complexes alter chromatin structures. They remodel nucleosomes in ATP-dependent manner and have essential roles in DNA damage repair, recombination, replication and transcriptional control. Increasing evidences indicate that subunits of chromatin remodelers are mutated and/or deregulated in a number of human cancers, and how they influence the cancer gene expression program during cancer initiation and progression is becomming clearer. Therefore, chromatin remodeling complexes arose as promising new targets for the treatment of human cancers. In this review, chromatin remodeling complexes, their epigenetic reader domains and available inhibitors are described. The insights into the misregulated chromatin remodelers pathways in human malignancies and the novel approach targeting deregulated chromatin remodelers to improve chemotherapy efficiency are discussed.

description: Throughout the Milky Way, molecular clouds typically appear filamentary, and mounting evidence indicates that this morphology plays an important role in star formation. What is not known is to what extent the dense filaments most closely associated with star formation are connected to the surrounding diffuse clouds up to arbitrarily large scales. How are these cradles of star formation linked to the Milky Way's spiral structure? Using archival Galactic plane survey data, we have used multiple datasets in search of large-scale, velocity-coherent filaments in the Galactic plane. In this paper, we present our methods employed to identify coherent filamentary structures first in extinction and confirmed using Galactic Ring Survey data. We present a sample of seven Giant Molecular Filaments (GMFs) that have lengths of order $\sim$100 pc, total masses of 10$^4$ - 10$^5$ M$_{\odot}$, and exhibit velocity coherence over their full length. The GMFs we study appear to be inter-arm clouds and may be the Milky Way analogues to spurs observed in nearby spiral galaxies. We find that between 2 and 12% of the total mass (above $\sim$10$^{20}$ cm$^{-2}$) is "dense" (above 10$^{22}$ cm$^{-2}$), where filaments near spiral arms in the Galactic midplane tend to have higher dense gas mass fractions than those further from the arms.

description: We propose a ultraviolet complete theory for cold dark matter(CDM) and sterile neutrino that can accommodate both cosmological data and neutrino oscillation experiments at $1σ$ level. A new $U(1)_X$ dark gauge symmetry is introduced, and is assumed to be broken at $\sim \mathcal{O}$(MeV) scale. Such a light mediator for DM's self-scattering and scattering-off sterile neutrinos can resolve three controversies for cold DM on small cosmological scales, cusp vs. core, too-big-to-fail and missing satellites problems. We can also accommodate $\sim$ eV scale sterile neutrinos as the hot dark matter(HDM) and can fit some neutrino anomalies from neutrino oscillation experiments within $1σ$. Finally the right amount of HDM can make a sizable contribution to dark radiation, and also helps to reconcile the tension between the data on the tensor-to-scalar ratio reported by Planck and BICEP2 Collaborations.

description: We study the quench dynamics of the one-dimensional Hubbard model through the Quench Action formalism. We introduce a class of integrable initial states -- expressed as product states over two sites -- for which we can provide an exact characterisation of the late-time regime. This is achieved by finding a closed-form expression for the overlaps between our states and the Bethe ansatz eigenstates, which we check explicitly in the limits of low densities and infinite repulsion. Our solution gives access to the stationary values attained by local observables (we show the explicit example of the density of doubly occupied sites) and the asymptotic entanglement dynamics directly in the thermodynamic limit. Interestingly, we find that for intermediate interaction strength Rényi entropies display a double-slope structure.

description: We analyse the spatial statistics of the 2D gas-phase oxygen abundance distributions in a sample of 219 local galaxies. We introduce a new adaptive binning technique to enhance the signal-to-noise ratio of weak lines, which we use to produce well-filled metallicity maps for these galaxies. We show that the two-point correlation functions computed from the metallicity distributions after removing radial gradients are in most cases well described by a simple injection-diffusion model. Fitting the data to this model yields the correlation length $l_{\rm corr}$, which describes the characteristic interstellar medium mixing length scale. We find typical correlation lengths $l_{\rm corr} \sim 1$ kpc, with a strong correlation between $l_{\rm corr}$ and stellar mass, star formation rate, and effective radius, a weak correlation with Hubble type, and significantly elevated values of $l_{\rm corr}$ in interacting or merging galaxies. We show that the trend with star formation rate can be reproduced by a simple transport+feedback model of interstellar medium turbulence at high star formation rate, and plausibly also at low star formation rate if dwarf galaxy winds have large mass-loading factors. We also report the first measurements of the injection width that describes the initial radii over which supernova remnants deposit metals. Inside this radius the metallicity correlation function is not purely the product of a competition between injection and diffusion. We show that this size scale is generally smaller than 60 pc.

description: Background While the non-communicable disease (NCD) burden in the countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) (Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates) has surged over the past decades, the costs and return on investment (ROI) of implementing cost-effective, WHO-recommended NCD interventions have not been established. Methods We performed an economic analysis to estimate the ROI from scaling up four sets of NCD interventions over 15 years. We estimated the direct costs of the four main NCDs (cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and chronic respiratory diseases) using a prevalence-based,bottom-up cost-of-illness approach. We estimated indirect costs based on productivity loss due to absenteeism, presenteeism and premature deaths. We costed the scaling up of interventions using the WHO Costing Tool and assessed the health impact of interventions using the OneHealth Tool. We calculated ROI by comparing productivity and social benefits with the total costs of implementing the interventions. Results The four main NCDs cost the GCC economy nearly US$50 billion in 2019, equal to 3.3% of its gross domestic product. The indirect costs are estimated at US$20 billion or 40% of the total burden. Implementing the four modelled intervention packages in the six GCC countries over 15 years will cost US$14 billion, with an ROI of US$4.9 for every US$1 invested and significant health and social benefits, including 290 000 averted premature deaths. Conclusion Based on the results of these six investment cases, we recommend actions to scale up current WHO-recommended cost-effective interventions, strengthen whole-of-government action, drive the NCD legislative agenda, build out the evidence base, generate additional advocacy material, and increase regional collaboration and data-sharing to establish best practices and monitor impact.
Release of Mercury From Broken Fluorescent Bulbs

Year: 2004

description: This study examines the amount of mercury released from broken fluorescent bulbs. Mercury is a persistent, bioaccumulative toxin. Although human exposure to mercury largely derives from fish consumption, inhalation and dermal contact may also occur. Estimates vary regarding the amount of mercury released when fluorescent bulbs are broken on discard. This study establishes that between 17% and 40% of the mercury in low-mercury fluorescent bulbs is released to the air within two weeks of breakage, with one-third of the release occurring in the first eight hours after breakage. Higher temperatures contribute to higher release rates. It is estimated that discarded bulbs might release 2 to 4 tons of mercury per year in the U.S., with localized airborne mercury levels potentially exceeding occupational exposure limits.

In this work, we show that the Brauer-Manin condition on adelic points for subvarieties of a torus T over F cuts out exactly the rational points, if either F is a function field or, if F is the field of rational numbers and T is split. As an application, we prove a conjecture of Harari-Voloch over global function fields which states, roughly speaking, that on any rational hyperbolic curve, the local integral points with the Brauer-Manin condition are the global integral points. Finally we prove for tori over number fields a theorem of Stoll on adelic points of zero-dimensional subvarieties in abelian varieties.

description: In this work we study the $γγ\to W^+_L W^-_L$ and $γγ\to Z_L Z_L$ scattering processes within the effective chiral Lagrangian approach, including a light Higgs-like scalar as a dynamical field together with the would-be-Goldstone bosons $w^\pm$ and $z$ associated to the electroweak symmetry breaking. This approach is inspired by the possibility that the Higgs-like boson be a composite particle behaving as another Goldstone boson, and assumes the existence of a mass gap between $m_h$, $m_W$, $m_Z$ and the potential new emergent resonances, setting an intermediate energy region (above $m_{h,W,Z}$ and below the resonance masses) where the use of these effective chiral Lagrangians are the most appropriate tools to compute the relevant observables. We analyse in detail the proper chiral counting rules for the present case of photon-photon scattering and provide the computation of the one-loop $γγ\to W^+_L W^-_L$ and $γγ\to Z_L Z_L$ scattering amplitudes within this Effective Chiral Lagrangian approach and the Equivalence Theorem, including a discussion on the involved renormalization procedure. We also propose here a joint analysis of our results for the two-photon scattering amplitudes together with other photonic processes and electroweak (EW) precision observables for a future comparison with data. This could help to disentangle the nature of the light Higgs-like particle.

description: The double Weyl semimetal (DWSM) is a newly proposed topological material that hosts Weyl points with chiral charge n=2. The disorder effect in DWSM is investigated by adopting the tight-binding Hamiltonian. Using the transfer matrix method and the noncommutative Kubo formula, we numerically calculate the localization length and the Hall conductivity in the presence of the on-site nonmagnetic disorder or orbital (spin-flip) disorders, and give the corresponding global phase diagrams. For the on-site nonmagnetic disorder, the system undergoes the DWSM-3D quantum anomalous hall (3D QAH) and normal insulator (NI)-DWSM phase transitions, and evolves into the diffusive metal (DM) phase before being localized by strong disorders, which is consistent with the Weyl semimetal. For σ_x orbital disorder, we find that increasing disorder can generate a pair of Weyl nodes at the boundary of the Brillouin zone and induce a 3D QAH-DWSM phase transition. Then we investigate the combined effect of orbital disorders for both disordered 3D QAH phase and DWSM phase. The disorder-induced transitions can be well understood in terms of an effective medium theory based on self-consistent Born approximation.

description: Based on a refinement of the notion of internal sets in Colombeau's theory, so-called strongly internal sets, we introduce the space of generalized smooth functions, a maximal extension of Colombeau generalized functions. Generalized smooth functions as morphisms between sets of generalized points form a sub-category of the category of topological spaces. In particular, they can be composed unrestrictedly.

$K_{\ell 3}$ form factors at the physical point: Toward the continuum limit

description: We present updated results for the form factors of the kaon semileptonic $(K_{\ell 3})$ decay process calculated with $N_f = 2 + 1$ nonperturbatively $O(a)$-improved Wilson quark action and Iwasaki gauge action at the physical point on large volumes of more than (10 fm)$^4$. In addition to our previous calculation at the lattice spacing $a = 0.085$ fm, we perform a calculation at the second lattice spacing of $0.063$ fm. Using the results for the form factors extracted from 3-point functions with the local and also conserved vector currents at the two lattice spacings, continuum extrapolation and interpolation of the momentum transfer are carried out simultaneously to obtain the value of the form factor $f_+(0)$ at the zero momentum transfer in the continuum limit. After investigation of stability of $f_+(0)$ against several fit forms and different data, we obtain $f_+(0) = 0.9615(10)(^{+47}_{\ -3})(5)$, where the first, second, and third errors are statistical, systematic errors from choice of the fit forms and isospin breaking effect, respectively. Combining our value of $f_+(0)$ and experimental input of the $K_{\ell 3}$ decay, one of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix elements $|V_{us}|$ is determined as $|V_{us}| = 0.2252(^{\ +5}_{-12})$, whose error contains the experimental one as well as that in the lattice calculation. This value is reasonably consistent with the ones determined from recent lattice QCD results of $f_+(0)$ and also the one determined through the kaon leptonic decay process. We observe some tension between our value and $|V_{us}|$ evaluated from the unitarity of the CKM matrix with $|V_{ud}|$, while it depends on the size of the error of $|V_{ud}|$. It is also found that $|V_{us}|$ determined with our phase space integrals through six $K_{\ell 3}$ decay processes is consistent with the above one using $f_+(0)$.

description: Gravitationally bound neutrons have become an important tool in the experimental searches for new physics, such as modifications to Newton's force or candidates for dark matter particles. Here we include the relativistic effects of mass-energy equivalence into the model of gravitationally bound neutrons. Specifically, we investigate a correction in a gravitationally bound neutron's Hamiltonian due to the presence of an external magnetic field. We show that the neutron's additional weight due to mass-energy equivalence will cause a small shift in the neutron's eigenenergies and eigenstates, and examine how this relativistic correction would affect experiments with trapped neutrons. We further consider the ultimate precision in estimating the relativistic correction to the precession frequency and find that, at short times, a joint measurement of both the spin and motional degrees of freedom provides a metrological enhancement as compared to a measurement of the spin alone.
Driven surface diffusion with detailed balance and elastic phase transitions

description: Driven surface diffusion occurs, for example, in molecular beam epitaxy when particles are deposited under an oblique angle. Elastic phase transitions happen when normal modes in crystals become soft due to the vanishing of certain elastic constants. We show that these seemingly entirely disparate systems fall under appropriate conditions into the same universality class. We derive the field theoretic Hamiltonian for this universality class, and we use renormalized field theory to calculate critical exponents and logarithmic corrections for several experimentally relevant quantities.

From random walks on networks to nonlinear diffusion

description: Mathematical models of motility are often based on random-walk descriptions of discrete individuals that can move according to certain rules. It is usually the case that large masses concentrated in small regions of space have a great impact on the collective movement of the group. For this reason, many models in mathematical biology have incorporated crowding effects and managed to understand their implications. Here, we build on a previously developed framework for random walks on networks to show that in the continuum limit, the underlying stochastic process can be identified with a diffusion partial differential equation. The diffusion coefficient of the emerging equation is in general density-dependent, and can be directly related to the transition probabilities of the random walk. Moreover, the relaxation time of the stochastic process is directly linked to the diffusion coefficient and also to the network structure, as it usually happens in the case of linear diffusion. As a specific example, we study the equivalent of a porous-medium type equation on networks, which shows similar properties to its continuum equivalent. For this equation, self-similar solutions on a lattice and on homogeneous trees can be found, showing finite speed of propagation in contrast to commonly used linear diffusion equations. These findings also provide insights into reaction-diffusion systems with general diffusion operators, which have appeared recently in some applications.

description: The primary objectives of this study were: 1) to conduct an analysis of five statewide projects undertaken to classify and map New Jersey's ever-changing landscape to understand how these data sets compare and can augment one another and 2) to provide guidance to data users and environmental managers to aid in the application of these digital data sets. The five data sets analyzed include: NJDEP's Land Use/Land Cover data (based primarily on air photos); Rutgers University's Center for Remote Sensing and Spatial Analysis Land Cover data (based primarily on satellite imagery); NJDEP's GAP Analysis data (based primarily on satellite imagery and videography); NJDEP's ECOMAP (based primarily on soils maps and digital elevation modeling); and NJDEP's Critical Wildlife Habitat Mapping (based primarily on the Rutgers land cover mapping and NJDEP's wildlife species locational data). The study provides multiple analyses: statewide, regional, watershed, and municipal, depending upon data availability and applicability. Information is also provided as to how the data may be useful for developing environmental indicators; for municipal planning; and for natural vegetation community mapping. Recommendations are made regarding the additive values of the geographic coverages; the strengths of the coverages (as well as information regarding their limits); and recommendations for future improvements.
