Toward the Jamming Threshold of Sphere Packings: Tunneled Crystals

description: We have discovered a new family of three-dimensional crystal sphere packings that are strictly jammed (i.e., mechanically stable) and yet possess an anomalously low density. This family constitutes an uncountably infinite number of crystal packings that are subpackings of the densest crystal packings and are characterized by a high concentration of self-avoiding "tunnels" (chains of vacancies) that permeate the structures. The fundamental geometric characteristics of these tunneled crystals command interest in their own right and are described here in some detail. These include the lattice vectors (that specify the packing configurations), coordination structure, Voronoi cells, and density fluctuations. The tunneled crystals are not only candidate structures for achieving the jamming threshold (lowest-density rigid packing), but may have substantially broader significance for condensed matter physics and materials science.

description: The aim of this paper is to show that various known characterizations of traces on classical pseudodifferentials operators (PsiDOs) can actually be obtained by very elementary considerations on PsiDOs, using only basic properties of these operators. Thereby, we give a unified treatment of the determinations of the space of traces (i) on PsiDOs of noninteger orders or of regular parity-class, (ii) on integer order PsiDOs, (iii) on nonpositive order PsiDOs in dimension greather than or equal to 2, and (iv) on nonpositive order PsiDOs in dimension 1.

Representation of Integral Dispersion Relations by Local Forms
Creators: name: Ferreira, Erasmo

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2007
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The representation of the usual integral dispersion relations (IDR) of scattering theory through series of derivatives of the amplitudes is discussed, extended, simplified, and confirmed as mathematical identities. Forms of derivative dispersion relations (DDR) valid for the whole energy interval, recently obtained and presented as double infinite series, are simplified through the use of new sum rules of the incomplete $Γ$ functions, being reduced to single summations, where the usual convergence criteria are easily applied. For the forms of the imaginary amplitude used in phenomenology of hadronic scattering, we show that expressions for the DDR can represent, with absolute accuracy, the IDR of scattering theory, as true mathematical identities. Besides the fact that the algebraic manipulation can be easily understood, numerical examples show the accuracy of these representations up to the maximum available machine precision. As consequence of our work, it is concluded that the standard simplified forms sDDR, originally intended for the high energy limits, are an inconvenient and incomplete separation of terms of the full expression, leading to wrong evaluations. Since the correspondence between IDR and the DDR expansions is linear, our results have wide applicability, covering more general functions, built as combinations of well studied basic forms.

description: We present a model of collective decision making in which voting and deliberation are treated simultaneously. Political theorists argue that public discussion can lead individuals to change their preferences. This aspect of democracy is typically ignored in models of social choice that focus exclusively on voting. In our model, individuals debate in a public forum and potentially revise their preferences in light of deliberation. Once this process is exhausted, a voting rule is applied to aggregate post-deliberation preferences into a social choice. Restricting attention to three alternatives, we identify conditions under which a democracy is truth-revealing in the sense that the deliberation path and the voting rule will always lead to the correct social choice being made, irrespective of the original profile of preferences and size of the electorate (provided the latter is finite). A critical parameter in the model is the persuasion cost. When this is low, a democracy is almost always truth-revealing. When it is high, we have the standard social choice model and truthful revelation is impossible. Moreover, we identify when and only when truthful revelation occurs in an interesting intermediate case.

description: Demazure characters of type A, which are equivalent to key polynomials, have been decomposed by Lascoux and Schützenberger into standard bases. We prove that the resulting polynomials, which we call Demazure atoms, can be obtained from a certain specialization of nonsymmetric Macdonald polynomials. This combinatorial interpretation for Demazure atoms accelerates the computation of the right key associated to a semi-standard Young tableau. Utilizing a related construction, we provide a new combinatorial description for the key polynomials.

Studies in di- and sesterterpendoid synthesis
Creators: name: Romero Martínez Del Sobral, Miguel Angel
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Stereoselective 9-step conversions of the ketone 17 into the tricyclic ketone 31 via two similar synthetic pathways are described. The highly stereoselective steps involved in the preparation of 31 were: a) the Lewis acid-catalyzed reaction of the silyl enol ethers 50 and 60 with the ethylene ketal of 3-buten-2-one to produce the diketones 37 and 39, respectively, b) the hydrogenation of the enone 32 to give the ketone 56, and c) the Birch reduction of the enone 61 to give 31. Compound 31 contains the correct relative configuration at each of the corresponding chiral centers present in the target molecule 16 and, therefore, appears to be an ideal intermediate for a projected total synthesis of (±)-16 (initially believed to be the sesterterpenoid suvanine). A 15-step total synthesis of the antimicrobial diterpene (±)-8-isocyano-10(14)-amphlilectadiene (23) from the intermediate 24 is described. The key steps in the synthesis of (±)-23 involved the stereoselective Birch reduction of 24, the epimerization of the aldehyde 91 to the corresponding a-formyl isomer, and the degradation of the carboxylic acid function of 95 to an isonitrile group. The last part of the synthetic work described in this thesis resulted in a 15-step conversion of the ketone 17 into the tricyclic ketone 164. Of particular note in this sequence of reactions are: a) the palladium(0)-catalyzed coupling reaction of the enol triflate 143 with lithium cyanide to produce the nitrile 144, b) the stereoselective alkylation of 144 to give compound 148, and c) the stereoselective Birch reduction of the enone 163 to produce 164. The methodology employed in the construction of the tricyclic intermediate 164 contributes to the development of a general route towards the synthesis of the spongiane diterpenes 18-22.

description: We report the discovery of a Jupiter-size planet transiting a relatively bright (V = 11.56) and metal-rich early K dwarf star with a period of about 2.9 days. On the basis of follow-up photometry and spectroscopy we determine the mass and radius of the planet, HAT-P-3b, to be M_p = 0.599 +/- 0.026 M_Jup and R_p = 0.890 +/- 0.046 R_Jup. The relatively small size of the object for its mass implies the presence of about 75 Earth masses worth of heavy elements (1/3 of the total mass) based on current theories of irradiated extrasolar giant planets, similar to the mass of the core inferred for the transiting planet HD 149026b. The bulk density of HAT-P-3b is found to be rho_p = 1.06 +/- 0.17 g/cm^3, and the planet orbits the star at a distance of 0.03894 AU. Ephemerides for the transit centers are T_c = 2,454,218.7594 +/- 0.0029 + N (2.899703 +/- 0.000054) (HJD).

On dynamical tunneling and classical resonances
Creators: name: Keshavamurthy, Srihari
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2007
Subjects: subject: Chaotic Dynamics (nlin.CD)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: This work establishes a firm relationship between classical nonlinear resonances and the phenomenon of dynamical tunneling. It is shown that the classical phase space with its hierarchy of resonance islands completely characterizes dynamical tunneling and explicit forms of the dynamical barriers can be obtained only by identifying the key resonances. Relationship between the phase space viewpoint and the quantum mechanical superexchange approach is discussed in near-integrable and mixed regular-chaotic situations. For near-integrable systems with sufficient anharmonicity the effect of multiple resonances {\it i.e.,} resonance-assisted tunneling can be incorporated approximately. It is also argued that the, presumed, relation of avoided crossings to nonlinear resonances does not have to be invoked in order to understand dynamical tunneling. For molecules with low density of states the resonance-assisted mechanism is expected to be dominant.

description: Consider the following social choice problem. A group of individuals seek to partition a finite set X into two subsets. The individuals may disagree over the partition and an aggregation rule is applied to determine a compromise outcome. We permit collective indifference and so the outcome is a pair of disjoint subsets of X which may or may not partition X. Critically, neither subset can contain all of the elements in X. We present four normatively desirable properties that identify one aggregation rule uniquely. These properties are similar to those Young (J. Econ. Theory 9 (1974) 43-52) used in his characterization of the Borda rule.

description: In this paper I attempt to show that mathematical economics is unreasonably ineffective. Unreasonable, because the mathematical assumptions are economically unwarranted; ineffective because the mathematical formalizations imply nonconstructive and uncomputable structures. A reasonable and effective mathematization of economics entails Diophantine formalisms. These come with natural undecidabilities and uncomputabilites. In the face of this, I conjecture that an economics for the future will be freer to explore experimental methodologies underpinned by alternative mathematical structures. The whole discussion is framed within the context of the celebrated Wignerian theme: The Unreasonable Effectiveness of Mathematics in the Natural Sciences.
Non-Thermal X-ray Properties of Rotation Powered Pulsars and Their Wind Nebulae

description: We present a statistical study of the non-thermal X-ray emission of 27 young rotation powered pulsars (RPPs) and 24 pulsar wind nebulae (PWNe) by using the Chandra and the XMM-Newton observations, which with the high spatial resolutions enable us to spatially resolve pulsars from their surrounding PWNe. We obtain the X-ray luminosities and spectra separately for RPPs and PWNe, and then investigate their distribution and relation to each other as well as the relation with the pulsar rotational parameters. In the pair-correlation analysis we find that: (1) the X-ray (2-10 keV) luminosities of both pulsar and PWN (L_{psr} and L_{pwn}) display a strong correlation with pulsar spin down power Edot and characteristic age, and the scalings resulting from a simple linear fit to the data are L_{psr} \propto Edot^{0.92 \pm 0.04} and L_{pwn} \propto Edot^{1.45 \pm 0.08} (68% confidence level), respectively, however, both the fits are not statistically acceptable; (2) L_{psr} also shows a possible weak correlation with pulsar period P and period derivative Pdot, whereas L_{pwn} manifests a similar weak correlation with Pdot only; (3) The PWN photon index Gamma_{pwn} is positively correlated with L_{pwn} and L_{pwn}/Edot. We also found that the PWN X-ray luminosity is typically 1 to 10 times larger than that from the underlying pulsar, and the PWN photon indices span a range of ~1.5 to ~2. The statistic study of PWN spectral properties supports the particle wind model in which the X-ray emitting electrons are accelerated by the termination shock of the wind.

Biomimetic studies related to lignin degradation
Creators: name: Cui, Futong
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Lignin is the second most abundant biopolymer on Earth. It is an amorphous, cross-linked, aromatic polymer composed of phenylpropanoid units. There has been an ever growing interest in the biodegradation of this complex polymer for the last 30 years. White-rot fungi have been found to be an important lignin degraders in the natural environment. With the discovery of two groups of hemoprotein enzymes, lignin peroxidases and manganese(II)-dependent peroxidases, from the lignin degrading culture of a white-rot fungus, Phanerochaete chrysosporium, rapid progress has been made in understanding the mechanism of lignin biodegradation. Synthetic metaUoporphyrins, the iron(III) and manganese(III) complexes of meso-tetra(2,6-dichloro-3-sulfonatophenyl)porphyrin (TDCSPPFeCl and TDCSPPMnCl) and meso-tetra(2,6-dichloro-3-sulfonatophenyl)-B-octachloroporphyrin (Cl₁₆TSPPFeCl and Cl₁₆TSPPMnCl), were used in this study to mimic the functions of the "lignin degrading" enzymes. Factors affecting the catalytic activities of these biomimetic catalysts were studied. TDCSPPFeCl could closely mimic lignin peroxidase in the degradation of a number of lignin model compounds, including veratryl alcohol, B-l, B-O-4, B-5, 5-5' biphenyl, phenylpropane, and phenylpropene model compounds. The reactions catalyzed by TDCSPPFeCl include benzyl alcohol oxidation, C[formula omitted],-C[formula omitted] side chain cleavage, demethoxylation, aromatic ring cleavage, benzylic methylene hydroxylation, and C[formula omitted]-C[formula omitted] double bond hydroxylation (glycol formation). Novel solvent incorporated compounds isolated from the oxidation of veratryl alcohol give insights about the site of attack of substrate cation radical by solvent molecules. The isolation of a solvent incorporated product from the oxidation of a phenylpropene model compound suggests a cation radical mechanism for the oxidation of this lignin substructure. The formation of a number of direct aromatic ring cleavage products during the oxidation of some model compounds supports the previously proposed mechanism of aromatic ring cleavage. TDCSPPFeCl was also able to catalyze the oxidation of environmental pollutants such as pyrene and 2,4,6-trichlorophenol. Veratryl alcohol and manganese(II)-complexes have been suggested to function as redox mediators for lignin biodegradation. Evidence has been provided to demonstrate their mediating power during electrochemical and biomimetic degradation of lignin model compounds. In addition to the mechanistic information obtained, the successful oxidation of the model compounds suggests that metalloporphyrins can be important catalysts for the pulp and paper industry and for pollution control.

description: Lattice dynamics and molecular dynamics studies of the oxides UO2 and Li2O in their normal as well as superionic phase are reported. Lattice dynamics calculations have been carried out using a shell model in the quasiharmonic approximation. The calculated elastic constants, phonon frequencies and specific heat are in good agreement with reported experimental data, which help validate the interatomic potentials required for undertaking molecular dynamics simulations. The calculated free energies reveal high pressure fluorite to cottunite phase transitions at 70 GPa for UO2 and anti-fluorite to anti-cotunnite phase transformation at 25 GPa for Li2O, in agreement with reported experiments. Molecular dynamics studies shed important insights into the mechanisms of diffusion and superionic behavior at high temperatures. The calculated superionic transition temperature of Li2O is 1000 K, while that of UO2 is 2300 K.

description: Using the method of searching for arbitrary shaped voids in the distribution of volume-limited samples of galaxies from the DR5 SDSS survey, we have identified voids and investigated their characteristics and the change in these characteristics with decreasing Mlim - the upper limit on the absolute magnitude of the galaxies involved in the construction of voids. The total volume of the 50 largest voids increases with decreasing Mlim with a break near Mr* = -20.44 for SDSS galaxies. The mean density contrast in voids increases with decreasing Mlim also with a weak break near M*. The exponent of the dependence of the volume of a void on its rank increases significantly with decreasing Mlim starting from Mlim ~ -20.4 in the characteristic range of volumes, which reflects the tendency for greater clustering of brighter galaxies. The galaxies mostly tend to concentrate toward the void boundaries and to avoid the central void regions. The axial ratios of the ellipsoids equivalent to the voids are, on average, retained with changing Mlim and correspond to elongated and nonoblate void shapes, but some of the voids can change their shape significantly. The void centers show correlations reflecting the correlations of the galaxy distribution on scales (35-70)/h Mpc. The galaxy distribution in the identified voids is nonrandom - groups and filaments can be identified. We have compared the properties of the galaxies in voids and galaxies in structures identified using the minimum spanning tree. A noticeable difference is observed in the mean color indices and star formation rates per unit stellar mass of the galaxies in dense regions (structures) - as expected, the galaxies in voids are, on average, bluer and have higher log(SFR/M_star). These tendencies become stronger toward the central void regions.

description: This volume covers Leg 62 of the cruises of the Drilling Vessel Glomar Challenger. As part of a program developed by a working group ("Evolution of Planktonic Communities") set up by the JOIDES Ocean Paleoenvironment Panel in 1975, we examined late Mesozoic and Cenozoic paleoenvironments in the central North Pacific Ocean during DSDP Leg 62. The drilling program was specifically designed to contribute to the understanding of the history of pelagic sedimentation and of the evolution of planktonic communities in the North Pacific Ocean. The four sites drilled during Leg 62 were needed to establish better regional coverage. Although paleoenvironments were to be stressed on Leg 62, studies of igneous rocks from acoustic basement were planned, to determine ages, petrogenesis, alteration effects, rock magnetism, and Paleomagnetism of old parts of the Pacific crust. These studies were emphasized in order to establish the early history of oceanic plateaus and whether they are the result of mid-ocean-ridge or intraplate volcanism. Glomar Challenger departed Majuro, Marshall Islands, on 29 July 1978, and arrived in Honolulu, Hawaii, on 7 September. We drilled five holes at four sites. One site (463) was drilled on the western part of the Mid-Pacific Mountains, and three sites (464, 465, and 466) were drilled on the Hess Rise.

description: We present the results of the first spectroscopic observations of two planetary nebula (PN) candidates in the Local Group dwarf irregular galaxy IC10. Using several spectral classification diagrams we show that the brightest PN candidate (PN7) is not a PN, but rather a compact HII region consisting of two components with low electron number densities. After the rejection of this PN candidate, the IC10 planetary nebula luminosity function cutoff becomes very close to the standard value. With the compiled spectroscopic data for a large number of extragalactic PNe, we analyse a series of diagnostic diagrams to generate quantitative criteria for separating PNe from unresolved HII regions. We show that, with the help of the diagnostic diagrams and the derived set of criteria, PNe can be distinguished from HII regions with an efficiency of ~99.6%. With the obtained spectroscopic data we confirm that another, 1.7 mag fainter PN candidate (PN9) is a genuine PN. We argue that, based on all currently available PNe data, IC10 is located at a distance 725+63-33 kpc (distance modulus (m-M) = 24.30+0.18-0.10).

description: We show that the M-canonical map of an n-dimensional complex projective manifold X of Kodaira dimension two is birational to an Iitaka fibration for a computable positive integer M. M depends on the index b of a general fibre F of the Iitaka fibration and on the Betti number of the canonical covering of F, In particular, M is a universal constant if the dimension n is smaller than or equal to 4.

description: In this work we present the first spectroscopic results obtained with the Southern African Large Telescope (SALT) telescope during its perfomance-verification phase. We find that the Sagittarius dwarf spheroidal galaxy (Sgr) Sgr contains a youngest stellar population with [O/H] -0.2 and age t>1 Gyr, and an oldest population with [O/H]=-2.0. The values are based on spectra of two planetary nebulae (PNe), using empirical abundance determinations. We calculated abundances for O, N, Ne, Ar, S, Cl, Fe, C and He. We confirm the high abundances of PN StWr2-21 with 12+log(O/H) = 8.57+/-0.02 dex. The other PN studied, BoBn1, is an extraordinary object in that the neon abundance exceeds that of oxygen. The abundances of S, Ar and Cl in BoBn1 yield the original stellar metallicity, corresponding to 12+log(O/H) = 6.72+/-0.16 dex which is 1/110 of the solar value. The actual [O/H] is much higher: third dredge-up enriched the material by a factor of ~12 in oxygen, ~240 in nitrogen and ~70 in neon. Neon as well as nitrogen and oxygen content may have been produced in the intershell of low-mass AGB stars. Well defined broad WR lines are present in the spectrum of StWr2-21 and absent in the spectrum of BoBn1. This puts the fraction of [WR]-type central PNe stars to 67% for dSph galaxies.

Syntheses of derivatized capped iron(II) porphyrin complexes and their interaction with CO and O₂
Creators: name: Tang, Hang
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The affinity of hemoglobin for CO relative to O₂ is decreased compared to simple iron-porphyrin systems mainly due to electronic effects. Hydrogen-bond formation with the His E7 residue of hemoglobin has been revealed to stabilize the bound dioxygen. This thesis describes the development of a series porphyrin models, benzene-4/4 (49a), benzene-5/5 (49b), amidobenzene-4/4 (49c) and amidobenzene-5/5 (49d) capped porphyrins, which serve as simple models to imitate the hydrogen bonding in hemoglobin. The chain linked bis pyrroles 38 were synthesized by Friedel-Crafts acylation of the benzene and nitrobenzene diacid chain derivatives with two equivalents of the β-unsubstituted pyrrole 36, followed by diborane reduction of the ketonic groups. After the nitro functions were transformed to the acetamides, modification of the ethyl ester functions of 38a, 38b and 39 via the benzylesters 40, the carboxypyrroles 41 and the α-unsubstituted pyrroles 42 afforded the important bis formyl pyrroles 43. The cyanoacrylate protected formyl pyrrole derivatives 44 were subjected to monochlorination at the α-methyl groups followed by condensation with two equivalents of the α-unsubstituted pyrrole 46 to give dipyrromethane dimers 47. Strong aqueous alkali caused saponification of the two ester groups and deprotection of the formyl functions to give 48. The α formyl-α′-unsubstituted dipyrromethane dimer, resulting from the thermal decarboxylation of 48, was cyclized to produce the porphyrin 49 in acidic medium. The interactions of CO and O₂ with the heme derivatives, Fe[superscript]Ⅱ(porphyrin)(DcIm), have been studied. The CO binding constant of the amide substituted heme is two foldlarger than that of the non-amide substituted heme. In contrast, the low temperature (-45°C) O₂ binding constants of the hemes have shown a 6-8 fold increase from nonamide to amide substituted hemes, probably because of a hydrogen bonding between the amide function and bound dioxygen similar to the hydrogen bonding in hemoglobin.

title: Advanced Computational Complexity Theory from an Elementary Standpoint

Publisher: name: National University of Ireland, Galway
Year: 2007
Subjects: subject: Economics
subject: Computational complexity

description: A computable economist's view of the world of computational complexity theory is described. This means the model of computation underpinning theories of computational complexity plays a central role. The emergence of computational complexity theories from diverse traditions is emphasised. The unifications that emerged in the modern era was codified by means of the notions of efficiency of computations, non-deterministric computations, completeness, reducibility and verifiability - all three of the latter concepts had their origins on what may be called 'Post's Program for Research for Higher Recursion Theory'. The recent real model of computation as a basis for studying computational complexity in the domain of the reals is also presented and discussed, albeit critically. A brief sceptical section on algorithmic complexity theory is included in an appendix.

description: In this paper we study spectral properties of adjacency and Laplace operators on percolation subgraphs of Cayley graphs of amenable, finitely generated groups. In particular we describe the asymptotic behaviour of the integrated density of states (spectral distribution function) of these random Hamiltonians near the spectral minimum. The first part of the note discusses various aspects of the quantum percolation model, subsequently we formulate a series of new results, and finally we outline the strategy used to prove our main theorem.
