description: We consistently find a band of high cell density develop within heterotrophic membrane-aerated biofilms. This study reports and attempts to explain this unique behavior. Biofilm density affects volumetric reaction rates, biofilm growth rates, substrate diffusion, and mechanical behavior. Yet the mechanisms and dynamics of biofilm density development are poorly understood. In this study, a membrane-aerated biofilm, where O2 was supplied from the base of the biofilm and acetate from the bulk liquid, was used to explore spatial and temporal patterns of density development. Biofilm density was assessed by optical coherence tomography. After inoculation, the biofilm quickly increased in thickness, with a low density throughout. However, as the biofilm reached a stable thickness of around 1000 μm, a high-density layer developed in the biofilm interior. The layer slowly expanded over time. Oxygen microprofiles in the biofilm showed this layer coincided with the most metabolically active zone, resulting from counter-diffusing O2 and acetate. The formation of this dense layer appeared to be related to changes in growth rates. Initially, high growth rates throughout the biofilm presumably led to fast-growing, low-density biofilms. As the biofilm became thicker, and as substrates became limiting in the biofilm interior, growth rates decreased, resulting in new growth at a higher density. A 1-D mathematical model with variable biofilm density was developed by linking the rates of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) production to the growth rate. The model captured the initial fast growth at a low density, followed by a slower, substrate-limited growth in the biofilm interior, producing a dense band within the biofilm. Together, these results suggest that low growth rates can lead to high-density zones within the interior of counter-diffusional biofilms. These findings should also be relevant to conventional, co-diffusional biofilms, although differences in density may be less obvious.

description: We seek the possibility of a disorder driven transition in a tight-binding lattice with a flat band using complexity parameter approach. Our results indicate the existence of a localized to extended states transition with increasing disorder, insensitive to disorder strength, in weak disorder limit; the spectral statistics at the critical point corresponds to a critical Brownian ensemble, a non-equilibrium universality class of random matrix ensembles, intermediate to Poisson and Gaussian orthogonal ensemble. With increasing disorder, the statistics again approaches Poisson limit indicating a localization -> extended -> localization transition of the wave-dynamics. Our analysis also reveals a hidden connection of weakly disordered flat bands to a wide-range of other complex systems including standard Anderson Hamiltonian.

description: We review and update the constraints on the parameters of the quark flavour mixing matrix $V_{CKM}$ in the standard model and estimate the resulting CP asymmetries in $B$ decays, taking into account recent experimental and theoretical developments. In performing our fits, we use inputs from the measurements of the following quantities: (i) $\abseps$, the CP-violating parameter in $K$ decays, (ii) $\delmd$, the mass difference due to the \bdbdbar\ mixing, (iii) the matrix elements $\absvcb$ and $\absvub$, (iv) $B$-hadron lifetimes, and (v) the top quark mass. The experimental input in points (ii) - (v) has improved compared to our previous fits. With the updated CKM matrix we present the currently-allowed range of the ratios $|V_{td}/V_{ts}|$ and $|V_{td}/V_{ub}|$, as well as the standard model predictions for the \bsbsbar\ mixing parameter $\xs$ (or, equivalently, $\delms$) and the quantities $\sin 2α$, $\sin 2β$ and $\sin^2γ$, which characterize the CP-asymmetries in $B$-decays. Various theoretical issues related to the so-called ``penguin-pollution," are of importance for the determination of the phases $α$ and $γ$ from the CP-asymmetries in $B$ decays, are also discussed.

description: The optimal control of distribution networks often requires monitoring and communication infrastructure, either centralized or distributed. However, most of the current distribution systems lack this kind of infrastructure and rely on suboptimal, fit-and-forget, local controls to ensure the security of the network. In this paper, we propose a data-driven algorithm that uses historical data, advanced optimization techniques, and machine learning methods, to design local controls that emulate the optimal behavior without the use of any communication. We demonstrate the performance of the optimized local control on a three-phase, unbalanced, low-voltage, distribution network. The results show that our data-driven methodology clearly outperforms standard industry local control and successfully imitates an optimal-power-flow-based control.

ANALYSIS OF THERMO-MECHANICAL BEHAVIOUR OF DISC BRAKE ROTOR
Creators: name: HABTAMU DUBALE
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2019
Subjects: ANSYS 18.1, Thermo-mechanical coupling, Thermo-Mechanical fatigue

description: A brake is a device by means of which artificial frictional resistance is applied for stopping a
 moving vehicle. In disc brakes the rotor is the component on which the pads are squeezed on when
 brake pedal is applied. Disc brake rotors are subjected to both mechanical and thermal stresses.
 The cyclic thermal stress is more significant as the heat generated due to friction has to be
 dissipated to the surrounding. In this study three types of disc brake rotors are selected to
 investigate the thermo-mechanical behavior of the disc brake rotors. The main objective of the
 study is to investigate and analyze the thermo-mechanical behavior of disc brake rotor analytically
 and numerically. accordingly, the results obtained from the finite element analysis by ANSYS18.1
 Workbench are validated by analytical calculation of the disc brake rotor. The Analysis of thermomechanical
 behavior of disc brake develops a three-dimensional(3D) thermo-structural coupling
 model, implements transient thermal analysis and transient structural analysis of disc brake profiles
 with a frictional heat variation. This thermo-structural model allows the effect of the pad to be
 considered and contemplate the heat flux synchronization between the sliding surfaces. To get the
 transient temperature and thermal stress fields of the disc brake rotor under emergency braking,
 the thermo-structural problem is solved by finite element method using ANSYS 18.1. The
 numerical results from the analysis and simulation show the maximum surface temperature,
 equivalent thermal stress and thermal deformation of the disk brake rotor. Comparison
 between the three profiles has been made using different parameters. The parameters of the
 comparison include the maximum temperature on rotor surface, equivalent thermal stress(Von-
 Mises), thermal deformation and thermo-mechanical fatigue life. The result has shown that the
 rotor having grooved profile on its surface exhibited 34Mpa of equivalent stress whereas the solid
 type and the drilled type have shown 80Mpa and 57Mpa respectively. The drilled- type has showed
 very low fatigue life than the other two profiles. This shows that the grooved type brake rotor is
 efficient by far more magnitude than the other two profiles. In general, the thermal stress developed
 and thermal deformation on the rotor will significantly decreases when it has a profile which allows
 for better heat dissipation to the surrounding. Based on the numerical results, some suggestion has
 been stated.
The upgrade of the RPC-based ALICE Muon Trigger

description: The ALICE Muon Trigger is currently yielded by a detector currently composed of 72 Bakelite single-gap Resistive Plate Chambers operated in maxi-avalanche mode, arranged in four 5.5x6.5 m2 detection planes. In order to meet the requirements posed by the forthcoming LHC high luminosity runs starting from 2021 onwards, in which ALICE will be read out in continuous mode, the Muon Trigger will become a Muon Identifier and will undergo a major upgrade. In the current setup, signals from about 21k strips are discriminated by 2400 non-amplified Front End (FEE) cards, whose thresholds are provided by external analog voltages (one for each chamber side). All these cards will be replaced with discriminators equipped with a pre-amplification stage which will allow a reduction in the operating high voltage of the detectors, thus prolonging their lifetime. Furthermore, their reference thresholds will be passed via wireless (and I2C chained per chamber side) allowing the tuning of the values at the single card level. Moreover, the 24 most exposed chambers will be replaced with new ones, equipped with high-quality (i.e. smoother surface) Bakelite laminates. The tests performed on the new FEE cards, used both in a test bench and on detectors, and on the new RPC chambers (with cosmic rays) are reported.

The mass formula for a fundamental string as a BPS solution of a D-brane's worldvolume

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: We propose a (generalized) ``mass formula'' for a fundamental string described as a BPS solution of a D-brane's worldvolume. The mass formula is obtained by using the Hamiltonian density on the worldvolume, based on transformation properties required for it. Its validity is confirmed by investigating the cases of point charge solutions of D-branes in a D-8-brane (i.e. curved) background, where the mass of each of the corresponding strings is proportional to the geodesic distance from the D-brane to the point parametrized by the (regularized) value of a transverse scalar field. It is also shown that the mass of the string agrees with the energy defined on the D-brane's worldvolume only in the flat background limit, but the agreement does not always hold when the background is curved.

Publisher: name: SpringerOpen
Year: 2024

description: The finite element method is widely used in simulations of various fields. However, when considering domains whose extent differs strongly in different spatial directions a finite element simulation becomes computationally very expensive due to the large number of degrees of freedom. An example of such a domain are the cables inside of the magnets of particle accelerators. For translationally invariant domains, this work proposes a quasi-3-D method. Thereby, a 2-D finite element method with a nodal basis in the cross-section is combined with a spectral method with a wavelet basis in the longitudinal direction. Furthermore, a spectral method with a wavelet basis and an adaptive and time-dependent resolution is presented. All methods are verified. As an example the hot-spot propagation due to a quench in Rutherford cables is simulated successfully.

Subjects: ANSYSR18.1, ASTM, Carbon/epoxy, FEA, Mono leaf spring, SOLIDWORK 2017

description: Now days, one of the main issue in the automotive industry is weight reduction of body. It is possible to reduce the weight of the leaf spring without any reduction on load carrying capacity and stiffness. This thesis deals with the replacement of multi steel leaf spring of Toyota hiace vehicle with mono laminated carbon/epoxy composite leaf spring to reduce the dead weight of leaf spring while upholding its strength, since multi steel leaf spring materials have low strength to weight ratio as compared to composite material under the same loading condition. The prominence of the paper was analysis of laminated mono carbon/epoxy composite leaf spring using experimental technique and numerical analysis for suspension system. Then this thesis attempt to obtain, designing less stressed, less deformed, and light weight composite leaf spring, which have better performance than that of the existing Toyota hiace vehicle multi steel leaf spring. The main objective of this thesis is to design and develop laminated mono carbon/epoxy composite leaf spring using FEA and experimental technique by comparing with the conventional steel leaf spring of Toyota hiace vehicle. The property of laminated carbon/epoxy composite is calculated by using classical laminate theory. This properties of laminated carbon/epoxy composite material is experimentally proved by manufacturing laminated carbon/epoxy composite as per ASTM standard and also tested by using universal testing machine (UTM) to determine the properties of the material experimentally. The obtained results were compared with the analytical calculation and it has been observed that the results were in compliance. The solid modelling of leaf spring was done on SOLIDWORK 2017 and analysed using ANSYSR18.1 workbench software. From static analysis, it is observed that weight reduction of leaf spring is achieved up 70.01% in case of composite than steel and the equivalent stress induced and deformation in the Carbon/epoxy composite leaf spring is 60 % and 6.16 % respectively less than the current steel leaf spring for the same load carrying capacity respectively. Finally, standing from this result, the study conclude that the newly designed carbon/epoxy mono composite leaf spring has better performance than that of the conventional steel leaf spring of Toyota Hiace Van vehicle.

description: New detailed stellar yields of several elemental species are derived for massive stars in a wide range of masses (from 6 to 120 Msol) and metallicities (Z= 0.0004, 0.004, 0.008, 0.02, 0.05). Our calculations are based on the Padova evolutionary tracks and take into account recent results on stellar evolution, such as overshooting and quiescent mass-loss, paying major attention to the effects of the initial chemical composition of the star. We finally include modern results on explosive nucleosynthesis in SNae by Woosley & Weaver 1995. The issue of the chemical yields of Very Massive Objects (from 120 to 1000 Msol) is also addressed. Our grid of stellar yields for massive stars is complementary to the results by Marigo et al. (1996, 1997) on the evolution and nucleosynthesis of low and intermediate mass stars, also based on the Padova evolutionary tracks. Altogether, they represent a complete set of stellar yields of unprecedented homogeneity and self-consistency. Our new stellar yields are inserted in a code for the chemical evolution of the Galactic disc with infall of primordial gas, according to the formulation first suggested by Talbot & Arnett (1971, 1973, 1975) and Chiosi (1980). As a first application, the code is used to develop a model of the chemical evolution of the Solar Vicinity, with a detailed comparison to the available observational constraints.

description: In the past, research, policy and media have reported the use of anabolic androgenic steroids (AAS) primarily among younger males. However, recent studies have indicated the presence of an older cohort of men who use AAS in comparison to previous years. We carried out a scoping review of the extant literature to map and describe what is known about the use of AAS by older men (>40 years). A systematic search collected and analysed empirical research and grey literature relevant to the research question. Following application of inclusion and exclusion criteria, 44 studies were included which were subsequently charted and thematically analysed. The records included originated from the UK, USA, Canada, Australia, Slovenia, Norway, Spain, Turkey, Switzerland, Japan, and five global studies and were published between 1996 and 2021. Age ranged overall from 14 to 78 years old, however our review only discussed findings pertaining to those older than 40. Three main themes with subthemes were generated as follows: 1) Characteristics of AAS Use; Self-reported Adverse Effects from AAS Use; and Harms Diagnosed by Medical Professional. The review highlights the significant risks to hypothalamic-pituitary testicular function, cardiovascular health, and other organ systems as a result of the ageing man who is motivated to sustain masculine characteristics such as muscularity, youthfulness, sexual function, and perceived desirability and attractiveness. Future research is required to further understand the motivations of older men who use AAS. Furthermore, there is a need for age-specific research and recommendations to inform future policy and practice pertaining so that age-appropriate healthcare and policy decisions can be made in the future.

description: We present the results of integral field spectroscopy of the gravitational wave (GW) recoiling black hole candidate 3C 186. The goal of the observations is to study the kinematics of the [OIII]5007 narrow emission line region (NLR) of the quasar, and investigate the origin of the velocity offsets originally measured for different UV lines. The results show that i) the spatial structure of the NLR is complex. The [OIII]5007 line shows significant velocity offsets with respect to the systemic redshift of the source. Different components at different velocities (-670, -100, + 75 km s^-1) are produced in different regions of the source. ii) we detect both the narrow and the broad components of the Hbeta line. The narrow component generally follows the kinematics of the [OIII] line, while the broad component is significantly blue-shifted. The peak of the broad line is near the blue end, or possibly outside of the sensitivity band of the instrument, implying a velocity offset of >~1800 km s^-1. This result is in agreement with the interpretation of the QSO as a GW recoiling black hole. The properties of the NLR show that the observed outflows are most likely the effect of radiation pressure on the (photoionized) gas in the interstellar medium of the host galaxy.

description: We consider the Maldacena conjecture applied to the near horizon geometry of a D1-brane in the supergravity approximation and consider the possibility of testing the conjecture against the boundary field theory calculation using DLCQ. We propose the two point function of the stress energy tensor as a convenient quantity that may be computed on both sides of the correspondence. On the supergravity side, we may invoke the methods of Gubser, Klebanov, Polyakov, and Witten. On the field theory side, we derive an explicit expression for the two point function in terms of data that may be extracted from a DLCQ calculation at a given harmonic resolution. This gives rise to a well defined numerical algorithm for computing the two point function, which we test in the context of free fermions and the 't Hooft model. For the supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory with 16 supercharges that arises in the Maldacena conjecture, the algorithm is perfectly well defined, although the size of the numerical computation grows too fast to admit any detailed analysis at present, and our results are only preliminary. We are, however, able to present more detailed results on the supersymmetric DLCQ computation of the stress energy tensor correlators for two dimensional Yang Mills theories with (1,1) and (2,2) supersymmetries.

description: We use angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy to investigate the coupling of electron quantum well states (QWSs) in epitaxial thin Pb and Ag films. More specifically, we investigate the Ag/Si, Pb/Si, and Pb/Ag/Si systems. We found that the parallel momentum plays a very profound role in determining how two adjacent quantum wells are coupled electronically across the interface. We revealed that in the Pb/Ag bimetallic system, there exist two distinctly different regimes in the energy vs momentum (E vs k) space. In one regime, the electronic states in Ag and Pb are strongly coupled, resulting in a new set of QWSs for the bi-metallic system. In the other regime, the electronic states in individual metallic layers are retained in their respective regions, as if they are totally decoupled. This result is corroborated by calculations using density functional theory. We further unravel the underlying mechanism associated with the electron refraction and total internal reflection across the interface.

The temporal extension $L_t=2$ is used for asymmetric lattice spacings with an asymmetry parameter $a_s/a_t \approx 4$. The measured thermodynamical quantities (interface tension, jump of the order parameter and latent heat) suggest that the phase transition is of very weakly first order.

This is required because the present data were analyzed without inclusion of electromagnetic radiative corrections, and hence contain several ambiguities and uncertainties which we describe in detail. Our presentation includes a full description of the infrared effects needed for a new experimental analysis. It also describes the general treatment of final state interaction phases, needed because Watson's theorem is no longer valid in the presence of electromagnetism. The phase of the isospin-two amplitude A_2 may be modified by 50% -> 100%. We provide a tentative analysis using present data in order to illustrate the sensitivity to electromagnetic effects, and also discuss how the standard treatment of epsilon'/epsilon is modified.

description: The switched-mode DC-DC converters are among the most widely used power electronic circuits for their high conversion efficiency and flexible output voltage. These converters, used for electronic devices, are designed to regulate the output voltage against the changes of the input voltage and load current. So far this leads to the requirement of more advanced control methods to meet the real demand. Many control methods are developed for the control of DC-DC converters.
 The output voltage of this converter alone is usually unstable, with high oscillation, large overshoot and long settling time. Moreover, it is unable to provide the desired output voltage for input voltage and load variations. To overcome this problem and obtain constant, stable output voltage and fast system response various controllers are required. In this thesis Fuzzy PID controller and integral sliding mode controller based on the prescribed convergence algorithm is proposed and designed to achieve fast and stable performance of the buck-boost converter. Mathematical representation of a DC-DC buck-boost converter will be obtained. The modelled system, Fuzzy PID and integral sliding mode approaches are implemented in MATLAB/Simulink. The proposed control strategies compare with each other in terms of performance indexes. The performances are integral square error (ISE), integral absolute error (IAE), integral time square error (ITSE) and integral time absolute error (ITAE).Furthermore, to test the performance of proposed controllers the load resistance is increased and decreased by 35.72% from operating point while desired output voltage is decreased by 50% and increased up to 33.33% from operating point. Also, the effectiveness of both controllers is tested under the influence of external random disturbance.

description: Cold nuclear matter effects in reactions with nuclei at a future electron-ion collider (EIC) lead to a modification of semi-inclusive hadron production, jet cross sections, and jet substructure when compared to the vacuum. At leading order in the strong coupling, a jet produced at an EIC is initiated as an energetic quark, and the process of this quark splitting into a quark-gluon system underlies experimental observables. The spectrum of gluons associated with the branching of this quark jet is heavily modified by multiple scattering in a medium, allowing jet cross sections and jet substructure to be used as a probe of the medium's properties. We present a formalism that allows us to compute the gluon spectrum of a quark jet to an arbitrary order in opacity, the average number of scatterings in the medium. This calculation goes beyond the simplifying limit in which the gluon radiation is soft and can be interpreted as energy loss of the quark, and it significantly extends previous work which computes the full gluon spectrum only to first order in opacity. The theoretical framework demonstrated here applies equally well to light parton and heavy quark branching, and is easily generalizable to all in-medium splitting processes.

description: Given a sequence of complete Riemannian manifolds $(M_n)$ of the same dimension, we construct a complete Riemannian manifold $M$ such that for all $p \in (1,\infty)$ the $L^p$-norm of the Riesz transform on $M$ dominates the $L^p$-norm of the Riesz transform on $M_n$ for all $n$. Thus we establish the following dichotomy: given $p$ and $d$, either there is a uniform $L^p$ bound on the Riesz transform over all complete $d$-dimensional Riemannian manifolds, or there exists a complete Riemannian manifold with Riesz transform unbounded on $L^p$.

description: Magnetism typically arises from the joint effect of Fermi statistics and repulsive Coulomb interactions, which favors ground states with non-zero electron spin. As a result, controlling spin magnetism with electric fields---a longstanding technological goal in spintronics and multiferroics---can be achieved only indirectly. Here, we experimentally demonstrate direct electric field control of magnetic states in an orbital Chern insulator, a magnetic system in which non-trivial band topology favors long range order of orbital angular momentum but the spins are thought to remain disordered. We use van der Waals heterostructures consisting of a graphene monolayer rotationally faulted with respect to a Bernal-stacked bilayer to realize narrow and topologically nontrivial valley-projected moiré minibands. At fillings of one and three electrons per moiré unit cell within these bands, we observe quantized anomalous Hall effects with transverse resistance approximately equal to h/2e2, which is indicative of spontaneous polarization of the system into a single-valley-projected band with a Chern number equal to two. At a filling of three electrons per moiré unit cell, we find that the sign of the quantum anomalous Hall effect can be reversed via field-effect control of the chemical potential; moreover, this transition is hysteretic, which we use to demonstrate nonvolatile electric field induced reversal of the magnetic state. A theoretical analysis indicates that the effect arises from the topological edge states, which drive a change in sign of the magnetization and thus a reversal in the favored magnetic state. Voltage control of magnetic states can be used to electrically pattern nonvolatile magnetic domain structures hosting chiral edge states, with applications ranging from reconfigurable microwave circuit elements to ultralow power magnetic memory.

description: Operator square roots are ubiquitous in theoretical physics. They appear, for example, in the Holstein- Primakoff representation of spin operators and in the Klein-Gordon equation. Often the use of a perturbative expansion is the only recourse when dealing with them. In this paper, we show that under certain conditions, differential equations can be derived which can be used to ﬁnd perturbatively inaccessible approximations to operator square roots. Speciﬁcally, for the number operator nˆ = a †a we show that the square root √nˆ near nˆ = 0 can be approximated by a polynomial in nˆ. This result is unexpected because a Taylor expansion fails. A polynomial expression in nˆ is possible because nˆ is an operator, and its constituents a and a † have a non trivial commutator [a, a †] = 1 and do not behave as scalars. We apply our approach to the zero-mass Klein-Gordon Hamiltonian in a constant magnetic ﬁeld and, as a main application, the Holstein-Primakoff representation of spin operators, where we are able to ﬁnd new expressions that are polynomial in bosonic operators. We prove that these new expressions exactly reproduce spin operators. Our expressions are manifestly Hermitian, which offers an advantage over other methods, such as the Dyson-Maleev representation.

description: Low dimensional magnetism has been powerfully boosted as a promising candidate for numerous applications. The stability of the long-range magnetic order is directly dependent on the electronic structure and the relative strength of the competing magnetic exchange constants. Here, we report a comparative pressure-dependent theoretical and experimental study of the electronic structure and exchange interactions of two-dimensional ferromagnets CrBr3 and Cr2Ge2Te6 . While CrBr3 is found to be a Mott-Hubbard-like insulator, Cr2Ge2Te6 shows a charge-transfer character due to the broader character of the Te 5p bands at the Fermi level. This different electronic behaviour is responsible of the robust insulating state of CrBr3 , in which the magnetic exchange constants evolve monotonically with pressure, and the proximity to a metal-insulator transition predicted for Cr2Ge2Te6 , which causes a non-monotonic evolution of its magnetic ordering temperature. We provide a microscopic understanding for the pressure evolution of the magnetic properties of the two systems.

description: Symmetries of the physical world have guided formulation of fundamental laws, including relativistic quantum field theory and understanding of possible states of matter. Topological defects (TDs) often control the universal behavior of macroscopic quantum systems, while topology and broken symmetries determine allowed TDs. Taking advantage of the symmetry-breaking patterns in the phase diagram of nanoconfined superfluid $^3$He, we show that half-quantum vortices (HQVs) -- linear topological defects carrying half quantum of circulation -- survive transitions from the polar phase to other superfluid phases with polar distortion. In the polar-distorted A phase, HQV cores in 2D systems should harbor non-Abelian Majorana modes. In the polar-distorted B phase, HQVs form composite defects -- walls bounded by strings hypothesized decades ago in cosmology. Our experiments establish the superfluid phases of $^3$He in nanostructured confinement as a promising topological media for further investigations ranging from topological quantum computing to cosmology and grand unification scenarios.
