description: In this paper we consider the development of algorithms for the automatic detection of buried threats using ground penetrating radar (GPR) measurements. GPR is one of the most studied and successful modalities for automatic buried threat detection (BTD), and a large variety of BTD algorithms have been proposed for it. Despite this, large-scale comparisons of GPR-based BTD algorithms are rare in the literature. In this work we report the results of a multi-institutional effort to develop advanced buried threat detection algorithms for a real-world GPR BTD system. The effort involved five institutions with substantial experience with the development of GPR-based BTD algorithms. In this paper we report the technical details of the advanced algorithms submitted by each institution, representing their latest technical advances, and many state-of-the-art GPR-based BTD algorithms. We also report the results of evaluating the algorithms from each institution on the large experimental dataset used for development. The experimental dataset comprised 120,000 m^2 of GPR data using surface area, from 13 different lanes across two US test sites. The data was collected using a vehicle-mounted GPR system, the variants of which have supplied data for numerous publications. Using these results, we identify the most successful and common processing strategies among the submitted algorithms, and make recommendations for GPR-based BTD algorithm design.

description: The separation of sexes in dioecious plants enables males and females to adopt different strategies to balance reproduction and growth, but can also lead to female susceptibility due to their high reproductive burden. Understanding if a dioecious species is susceptible or adaptable in the face of worsening abiotic conditions would be useful for revegetating habitats under climate change. Our study compared four populations of the Australian native shrub, Pimelea microcephala subsp. microcephala (n = 885) across an annual rainfall gradient of ∼250–400 mm to understand the impact of decreasing rainfall on size classes, growth metrics, sex ratio, the proportion of juveniles and spatial distributions. We found that irrespective of site rainfall, male and female plants achieved similar sizes. The populations exhibited four size classes, defined by height, diameter and sex, but not site rainfall (unpaired group method with arithmetic mean cluster analysis, p < .05). Spatially, populations reflected the clumped distribution of overlying canopy cover, and did not demonstrate niche partitioning between sexes. The lack of population variation with rainfall indicates that the species may be suitable for arid zone revegetation in arid regions with declining rainfall. Conservation management of the species should include maintaining canopy tree cover to encourage seed dispersal.

description: We find the discrete states of the c=1 string in the light-cone gauge of Polyakov. When the state space of the gravitational sector of the theory is taken to be the irreducible representations of the SL(2,R) current algebra, the cohomology of the theory is NOT the same as that in the conformal gauge. In particular, states with ghost numbers up to 4 appear. However, after taking the space of the theory to be the Fock space of the Wakimoto free-field representation of the SL(2,R), the light-cone and conformal gauges are equivalent. This supports the contention that the discrete states of the theory are physical. We point out that the natural states in the theory do not satisfy the KPZ constraints.

description: We discuss a protocol based on quenching a purified quantum system that allows to capture bulk spectral features. It uses an infinite temperature initial state and an interferometric strategy to access the Loschmidt amplitude, from which the spectral features are retrieved via Fourier transform, providing coarse-grained approximation at finite times. It involves techniques available in current experimental setups for quantum simulation, at least for small systems. We illustrate possible applications in testing the eigenstate thermalization hypothesis and the physics of many-body localization.

description: Over the past decade, there has been a steep rise in the data-driven analysis in major areas of medicine, such as clinical decision support system, survival analysis, patient similarity analysis, image analytics etc. Most of the data in the field are well-structured and available in numerical or categorical formats which can be used for experiments directly. But on the opposite end of the spectrum, there exists a wide expanse of data that is intractable for direct analysis owing to its unstructured nature which can be found in the form of discharge summaries, clinical notes, procedural notes which are in human written narrative format and neither have any relational model nor any standard grammatical structure. An important step in the utilization of these texts for such studies is to transform and process the data to retrieve structured information from the haystack of irrelevant data using information retrieval and data mining techniques. To address this problem, the authors present Q-Map in this paper, which is a simple yet robust system that can sift through massive datasets with unregulated formats to retrieve structured information aggressively and efficiently. It is backed by an effective mining technique which is based on a string matching algorithm that is indexed on curated knowledge sources, that is both fast and configurable. The authors also briefly examine its comparative performance with MetaMap, one of the most reputed tools for medical concepts retrieval and present the advantages the former displays over the latter.

Phase transition between the quantum spin Hall and insulator phases in 3D: emergence of a topological gapless phase

description: Phase transitions between the quantum spin Hall and the insulator phases in three dimensions are studied. We find that in inversion-asymmetric systems there appears a gapless phase between the quantum spin Hall and insulator phases in three dimensions, which is in contrast with the two-dimensional case. Existence of this gapless phase stems from a topological nature of gapless points (diabolical points) in three dimensions, but not in two dimensions.

description: In this work we present a comprehensive study of the spontaneous currents in time-reversal symmetry breaking (TRSB) multi-component superconductors with cubic crystalline symmetry. We argue, not limiting to cubic lattices, that spontaneous current on certain high-symmetry surfaces can exist only if the TRSB pairing simultaneously breaks a certain pair of mirror symmetries. This is shown to have exact correspondence with the Gingzburg-Landau (GL) theory and is verified by numerical Bogoliubov de-Gennes (BdG) calculations. In the course we extend the BdG to include effects of gap anisotropy and surface disorder, both of which could lead to a much suppressed current. The GL theory has been known to describe well the spontaneous current. However, we highlight a special case where it becomes less adequate, and show that a refined effective theory for low temperatures is needed. These results could shed light on the phenomenology of cubic superconductors such as U$_{1-x}$Th$_x$Be$_{13}$, the filled skutterudites PrOs$_4$Sb$_{12}$, PrPt$_4$Ge$_{12}$ and related compounds.

description: Accumulated evidence indicates that species with small, rounded seeds predominantly maintain a persistent soil seed bank, while those having larger and less isodiametric seeds have a transient seed bank. We assumed that species in certain special habitats may be exceptions to this rule. In habitats with sandy soil and open vegetation, the seeds do not necessarily have to penetrate the deeper soil layers through cracks in the soil. Instead, the seeds can become buried by a windblown layer of sand, thus seed morphology does not really affect the burial process. To test our hypothesis, we selected five semi-desert shrubs and one perennial herb of open sandy grasslands, all of which had large and flattened seeds. For each species, 12 repetitions of 50 seeds were buried in the soil. Seeds were recovered after 3, 20 and 26 months of burial and subjected to germination tests. Seeds of each species germinated in all test occasions, with final germination as follows: Atriplex canescens 89.0%, Haloxylon ammodendron 11.5%, H. persicum 11.5%, Pteropyrum aucheri 43.5%, Xylosalsola richteri 12.0% and Asclepias syriaca 26.0%. The results confirm the hypothesis that each of the six species is capable of forming a persistent soil seed bank. The results also show that in habitats where seed burial can take place passively through windblown soil, plant species might bypass the tradeoff between seed size/shape and seed longevity.

description: At density 1.2 the Kob-Andersen binary Lennard-Jones liquid partly crystallizes in the temperature interval [0.39, 0.44] after typically 10-100 microseconds (Argon units). The crystallization is initiated by a phase separation where the large (A) particles cluster in a volume void of B particles. We investigate a modification of the Kob-Andersen system where the attraction between particles of the same type is removed, thus disfavoring phase separation. We have not been able to crystallize this new system.

description: Understanding the formation and evolution of early-type, spheroid-dominated galaxies is an open question within the context of the hierarchical clustering scenario, particularly, in low-density environments. Our goal is to study the main structural, dynamical, and stellar population properties and assembly histories of field spheroid-dominated galaxies formed in a LCDM scenario to assess to what extend they are consistent with observations. We selected spheroid-dominated systems from a LCDM simulation that includes star formation, chemical evolution and Supernova feedback. A sample of 18 field systems with Mstar <= 6x10^10 Msun that are dominated by the spheroid component. For this sample we estimate the fundamental relations of ellipticals and then compared with current observations. The simulated spheroid galaxies have sizes in good agreement with observations. The bulges follow a Sersic law with Sersic indexes that correlate with the bulge-to-total mass ratios. The structural-dynamical properties of the simulated galaxies are consistent with observed Faber-Jackson, Fundamental Plane, and Tully-Fisher relations. However, the simulated galaxies are bluer and with higher star formation rates than observed isolated early-type galaxies. The archaeological mass growth histories show a slightly delayed formation and more prominent inside-out growth mode than observational inferences based on the fossil record method. The main structural and dynamical properties of the simulated spheroid-dominated galaxies are consistent with observations. This is remarkable since none of them has been tuned to be reproduced. However, the simulated galaxies are blue and star-forming, and with later stellar mass growth histories as compared to observational inferences. This is mainly due to the persistence of extended discs in the simulations. Abridged

description: We study the population transfer between resonance states for a time-dependent loop around exceptional points in spectra of the hydrogen atom in parallel electric and magnetic fields. Exceptional points are well-suited for population transfer mechanisms, since a closed loop around these in parameter space commutes eigenstates. We address the question how shape and duration of the dynamical parameter loop affects the transferred population, in order to optimize the latter. Since the full quantum dynamics of the expansion coefficients is time-consuming, we furthermore present an approximation method, based on a $2\times 2$ matrix.

It is found that both the dissipation and the roughness of walls of the pipe are essential to the emergence of density waves. The density waves can only be observed when the average density of the system is in a certain range. The power spectra of density fluctuations in one region in the pipe follow, apart from a sharp peak corresponding to the density wave, a power law spectrum $1/f^α$ with $α$ close to $4/3$.

description: We propose and study at large N a new lattice gauge model , in which the Yang-Mills interaction is induced by the heavy scalar field in adjoint representation. At any dimension of space and any $ N $ the gauge fields can be integrated out yielding an effective field theory for the gauge invariant scalar field, corresponding to eigenvalues of the initial matrix field. This field develops the vacuum average, the fluctuations of which describe the elementary excitations of our gauge theory. At $N= \infty $ we find two phases of the model, with asymptotic freedom corresponding to the strong coupling phase (if there are no phase transitions at some critical $N$). We could not solve the model in this phase, but in the weak coupling phase we have derived exact nonlinear integral equations for the vacuum average and for the scalar excitation spectrum. Presumably the strong coupling equations can be derived by the same method.

description: Water resources pose a considerable limitation in arid and semi-arid regions like Iran, primarily due to the scarcity of rainfall and heightened evaporation rates. Within open hydroponic systems, a significant concern arises from the depletion of nutrient solutions utilized for crop fertigation. This predicament subsequently gives rise to environmental issues of note and a discernible surge in production expenses. Application of humic acid (HA), as a plant biostimulant, enhances plant tolerance to reduced water supply and counterbalances the effects of diluted nutrient solutions. A greenhouse experiment was conducted to investigate the impact of applying HA (600 ppm) in conjunction with three nutrient solution concentrations (complete nutrient solution (NSc), 75% NSc (NS1), and 50% NSc (NS2)), as well as two irrigation levels (100 and 50% of plant water requirement, IL100 and IL50, respectively). The treatment under IL50 was referred to as ½ NSc, ½ NS1, and ½ NS2. The findings showed that almost all of the traits studied were significantly affected by the applied treatments. The highest yield (409.4 g m−2), leaf area (34.67 cm−2 plant), biomass (1.092 g−1 plant), membrane stability index (90.47%), chlorophyll a (0.99 mg g−1 FW), chlorophyll b (0.413 mg g−1 FW), total chlorophyll (1.54 mg g−1 FW), carotenoid (0.437 mg g−1 FW), vitamin C (730.7 mg ascorbic acid kg−1 FW), amino acid (236.8 µg g−1 FW) and nitrate reductase activity (102.8 µg NO2- mg Protein−1 h−1) were observed in NSc + HA. In addition, the highest carbohydrate (46.99 mg g−1 FW), phenol (1129 mg GAE Kg−1 FW), and flavonoid content (1133 mg Catechin Kg−1 FW) and antioxidant activity (74.75%) were observed in ½ NS1 + HA. In addition, the highest relative water content (86.62%) and nitrate content (1106 mg kg−1 FW) were recorded in NS2 + HA and NSc, respectively. The application of HA combined with different concentrations of the nutrient solution under both irrigation levels caused an increase in most of the parameters studied in rocket plants compared to respective treatments without HA application. In addition, the results obtained confirmed that HA could compensate for the stress caused by a shortage of nutrients and water in the nutrient solution in this crop.

description: The heptanuclear complex [Mo(IV)(CN)2(CN-CuL)6]8+ exhibits photomagnetism. An earlier microscopic model showed that the transition dipole moments for excitation in different spin manifolds are similar in magnitude. In this paper, we attribute photomagnetism to the long lived S=3 charge transfer excited state for which there appears to be sufficient experimental evidence. We model the photomagnetism by employing a kinetic model which includes internal conversions and intersystem crossings. The key feature of the model is assumption of the existence of two kinds of S=3 states: one which has no direct pathway for internal conversion and the other characterized by slow kinetics for internal conversion to the low-energy states. The trapped S=3 state can decay via a thermally activated barrier to the other S=3 state. The experimental temperature dependence of magnetization plot is fitted using rate constants with Arrhenius dependence. The two different experimental cMT vs. T curves obtained with different irradiation times are fitted with our model. Our studies show that the photomagnetism in these systems is governed by kinetics and not due to differences in oscillator strengths for excitation of the different spin states.

description: The socio-economic features of the area hit by the 2012 earthquake in Emilia-Romagna (Italy) represents a first step in building a more comprehensive framework, which could help in better interpreting earthquake effects in both short and medium period. Actually, this analysis falls under that broader field of research, which is aimed at providing counterfactual evaluations of both natural disasters? impacts and the adoption of public policies to support reconstruction. This paper moves from the idea that those municipalities, which lie close to the epicentre of 2012 Emilia-Romagna earthquake, are not particularly homogenous in terms of socio-economic features. Analysing those major differences is a key element in order to assess the way human activities and other specific economic features at municipality level may either increase or limit the effects of an earthquake. Firstly, this paper tackles the problem of properly identifying the boundaries of the area directly hit by the 2012 earthquake. Indeed, different acts have provided different definitions of those boundaries. Eventually, a cluster analysis has been performed covering all municipalities in Emilia-Romagna, according to a set of demographic and economic variables, available at municipality level. This analysis highlights the existence of different typologies of municipalities, even in the area hit by the earthquake. In particular, these results are of particular interest, allowing further assessments on the effects of the earthquake. Actually, according to cluster analysis results, specific counterfactual examples (not hit by the earthquake) will be identified.

description: In the study, plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) indigenous to arid western Rajasthan were isolated and screened for plant growth promoting (PGP) capabilities. Ten isolates showing multiple PGP activities were identified as Pseudomonas sp. G6-3, Staphylococcus sp. G6-4, Bacillus badius G8-6, Agrobacterium sp. G8-7, Bacillus pseudomycoides G10-1, Staphylococcus capitis subsp. capitis G11-4, Bacillus paralicheniformis G11-5, Bacillus subtilis G12-3, Stenotrophomonas pavanii G12-4, and Solibacillus isronensis G21-9. Physiological profiling of these isolates demonstrated them to be tolerant to drought (25% PEG-6000), high temperature (40 °C), alkalinity (pH 10.0), and salinity (4.5% NaCl). These PGPR significantly improved clusterbean seedling characteristics in moisture stress-induced hydroponic flask cultures and pots. PGPR inoculation of clusterbean in drought-induced pots significantly enhanced the plant dry weight by 15–33%, plant water potential by 5–8%, and the relative water content of leaves by 4–16%. There was also a significant reduction in the levels of anti-oxidant enzymes and proline in plant tissues under drought conditions, which indicated lower levels of stress experienced by the treated plants. These were translated into yield enhancements by 13–15% under rainfed conditions. The study demonstrates the ability of stress tolerant PGPR from arid western Rajasthan in enhancing drought resilience of arid legumes besides promoting their growth, and their potential utility in sustainable arid agriculture systems.

description: Using the Advanced Camera for Surveys aboard the Hubble Space Telescope, we have discovered dust-scattered light from the debris disk surrounding the F2V star HD 15745. The circumstellar disk is detected between 2.0" and 7.5" radius, corresponding to 128 - 480 AU radius. The circumstellar disk morphology is asymmetric about the star, resembling a fan, and consistent with forward scattering grains in an optically thin disk with an inclination of ~67 degrees to our line of sight. The spectral energy distribution and scattered light morphology can be approximated with a model disk composed of silicate grains between 60 and 450 AU radius, with a total dust mass of 10E-7 M_sun (0.03 M_earth) representing a narrow grain size distribution (1 - 10 micron). Galactic space motions are similar to the Castor Moving Group with an age of ~10E+8 yr, although future work is required to determine the age of HD 15745 using other indicators.

description: Utilization of Portland cement to initiate the dissolution of blast furnace slag (BFS) in super-sulfated cement is limited by low slag substitution level and poor early strength. In this study, a new activator composed of anhydrite and calcium sulfoaluminate cement clinker was proposed to enhance the utilization of BFS in super-sulfated cement. Tests were conducted on the compressive strength, autogenous shrinkage, hydration heat, pH and conductivity of the composites. XRD, 29Si NMR, BSE and MIP were employed. Results reveal that ettringite, gypsum and C-S-H are the primary hydration products. The composites with 20% activator display the highest compressive strength and shrinkage accompanied by the highest hydration heat and degree, as well as the highest quantity of monomer silica tetrahedrons and the largest volume of fine pores. Thermodynamic modeling confirms the critical value for the activator-substitution level. Additionally, the activator-BFS composite exhibited significantly lower carbon emissions compared to Portland cement.

description: We study Green functions for stationary Stokes systems satisfying the conormal derivative boundary condition. We establish existence, uniqueness, and various estimates for the Green function under the assumption that weak solutions of the Stokes system are continuous in the interior of the domain. Also, we establish the global pointwise bound for the Green function under the additional assumption that weak solutions of the conormal derivative problem for the Stokes system are locally bounded up to the boundary. We provide some examples satisfying such continuity and boundedness properties.

description: We construct a nonlinear $σ$ model to describe a system of non-interacting electrons propagating in the presence of random magnetic flux. We find a term describing the long ranged logarithmic interaction between the topological density of the non-linear sigma model, and argue that this could give rise to a Kosterlitz-Thouless transition from the localized phase to a phase with power law correlations and continuously varying conductances. We provide a physical interpretation of our results in terms of the scattering of edge states of the magnetic domains in different regions.

description: Motivated by observational searches for sub-parsec supermassive black hole binaries (SBHBs) we develop a modular analytic model to determine the likelihood for detection of SBHBs by ongoing spectroscopic surveys. The model combines the parametrized rate of orbital evolution of SBHBs in circumbinary disks with the selection effects of spectroscopic surveys and returns a multivariate likelihood for SBHB detection. Based on this model we find that in order to evolve into the detection window of the spectroscopic searches from larger separations in less than a Hubble time, $10^8M_\odot$ SBHBs must, on average, experience angular momentum transport faster than that provided by a disk with accretion rate $0.06\,\dot{M}_E$. Spectroscopic searches with yearly cadence of observations are in principle sensitive to binaries with orbital separations $< {\rm few}\times 10^4\, r_g$ ($r_g = GM/c^2$ and $M$ is the binary mass), and for every one SBHB in this range there should be over 200 more gravitationally bound systems with similar properties, at larger separations. Furthermore, if spectra of all SBHBs in this separation range exhibit the AGN-like emission lines utilized by spectroscopic searches, the projection factors imply five undetected binaries for each observed $10^8M_\odot$ SBHB with mass ratio $0.3$ and orbital separation $10^4\,r_g$ (and more if some fraction of SBHBs is inactive). This model can be used to infer the most likely orbital parameters for observed SBHB candidates and to provide constraints on the rate of orbital evolution of SBHBs, if observed candidates are shown to be genuine binaries.

Two-species diffusion-annihilation process on the fully-connected lattice: probability distributions and extreme value statistics
Creators: name: Turban, Loïc
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2018
Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We study the two-species diffusion-annihilation process, $A+B\rightarrow$ Ø, on the fully-connected lattice. Probability distributions for the number of particles and the reaction time are obtained for a finite-size system using a master equation approach. Mean values and variances are deduced from generating functions. When the reaction is far from complete, i.e., for a large number of particles of each species, mean-field theory is exact and the fluctuations are Gaussian. In the scaling limit the reaction time displays extreme-value statistics in the vicinity of the absorbing states. A generalized Gumbel distribution is obtained for unequal initial densities, $ρ_A>ρ_B$. For equal or almost equal initial densities, $ρ_A\simeqρ_B$, the fluctuations of the reaction time near the absorbing state are governed by a probability density involving derivatives of $\vartheta_4$, the Jacobi theta function.
