description: In this paper, we present a mathematical model for the angular projection of a rectangular arrangement of points in a grid. This simple, yet interesting problem, has both a scholarly value and applications for data extraction techniques to study the physics of various systems. Our work can interest undergraduate students to understand subtle points in the angular projection of a grid and describes various quantities of interest in the projection with completeness and sufficient rigour. We show that for certain angular ranges, the projection has non-distinctness, and calculate the details of such angles, and correspondingly, the number of distinct points and the total projected length. We focus on interesting trends obtained for the projected length of the grid elements and present a simple application of the model to determine the geometry of an unknown grid whose spatial extensions are known, using measurement of the grid projection at two angles only. Towards the end, our model is shown to have potential applications in various branches of physical sciences including crystallography, astrophysics and bulk properties of materials.

description: Acylthiourea (ATU) compounds 4-(3-(furan-2-carbonyl)thioureido)benzoic acid (1), 4-(3-(thiophene-2-carbonyl)thioureido)benzoic acid (2), and 4-(3-(benzoyl)thioureido)benzoic acid (3) were synthesized and characterized by NMR (1H and 13C), FT-IR, UV–Vis and mass spectrometry. The molecular structures of compounds 1 and 2 were confirmed by single crystal X-ray diffraction studies. An electrochemical method employing Nafion (Nf)–ATU (1–3)–multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs)-modified glassy carbon (GC) electrode (Nf/ATU/MWCNTs/GC) has been developed for the determination of DHCl. Electrochemical studies were carried out in phosphate buffer by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). DHCl was detected at 1.1 V vs Ag/AgCl (3 M KCl). The proposed sensor for the determination of DHCl was investigated with three acylthiourea derivatives (1, 2, and 3) under optimized experimental conditions using blood plasma samples. The lowest detection limit toward DHCl was 0.09 mM.

description: Magnetic order emerging in otherwise non-magnetic materials as carbon is a paradigmatic example of a novel type of s-p electron magnetism predicted to be of exceptional high-temperature stability. It has been demonstrated that atomic scale structural defects of graphene can host unpaired spins. However, it is still unclear under which conditions long-range magnetic order can emerge from such defect-bound magnetic moments. Here we propose that in contrast to random defect distributions, atomic scale engineering of graphene edges with specific crystallographic orientation, comprising edge atoms only from one sub-lattice of the bipartite graphene lattice, can give rise to a robust magnetic order. We employ a nanofabrication technique based on Scanning Tunneling Microscopy to define graphene nanoribbons with nanometer precision and well-defined crystallographic edge orientations. While armchair ribbons display quantum confinement gap, zigzag ribbons narrower than 7 nm reveal a bandgap of about 0.2 - 0.3 eV, which can be identified as a signature of interaction induced spin ordering along their edges. Moreover, a semiconductor to metal transition is revealed upon increasing the ribbon width, indicating the switching of the magnetic coupling between opposite ribbon edges from antiferromagnetic to ferromagnetic configuration. We found that the magnetic order on graphene edges of controlled zigzag orientation can be stable even at room temperature, raising hope for graphene-based spintronic devices operating under ambient conditions.

P wave crustal velocity structure in the greater Mount Rainier area from local earthquake tomography

description: We present results from a local earthquake tomographic imaging experiment in the greater Mount Rainier area. We inverted P wave arrival times from local earthquakes recorded at permanent and temporary Pacific Northwest Seismograph Network seismographs between 1980 and 1996. We used a method similar to that described by Lees and Crosson [1989], modified to incorporate the parameter separation method for decoupling the hypocenter and velocity problems. In the upper 7 km of the resulting model there is good correlation between velocity anomalies and surface geology. Many focal mechanisms within the St. Helens seismic zone have nodal planes parallel to the epicentral trend as well as to a north-south trending low-velocity trough, leading us to speculate that the trough represents a zone of structural weakness in which a moderate (M 6.5-7.0) earthquake could occur. In contrast, the western Rainier seismic zone does not correlate in any simple way with anomaly patterns or focal mechanism fault planes, leading us to infer that it is less likely to experience a moderate earthquake. A ∼10 km-wide low-velocity anomaly occurs 5 to 18 km beneath the summit of Mount Rainier, which we interpret to be a signal of a region composed of hot, fractured rock with possible small amounts of melt or fluid. No systematic velocity pattern is observed in association with the southern Washington Cascades conductor. A midcrustal anomaly parallels the Olympic-Wallowa lineament as well as several other geophysical trends, indicating that it may play an important role in regional tectonics.

description: Recently, Maulik and Okounkov proposed an integrable lattice model where the degree of freedom at each site is identical to the Hilbert space of free boson in two dimensions. We give a brief review of their construction and explain the relation with $\mathcal{W}_n$ algebra and Calogero-Sutherland model. As a generalization, we examine the Yangian associated with $\mathcal{N}=1$ superconformal algebra which describes a supersymmetric extension of Calogero-Sutherland model and compare it with the literature.

description: We report equilibrium and nonequilibrium optical measurements on the recently synthesized "harmonic" honeycomb iridate γ-Li$_2$IrO$_3$ (LIO), as well as the layered honeycomb iridate Na$_2$IrO$_3$ (NIO). Using Fourier transform infrared microscopy we performed reflectance measurements on LIO, from which we obtained the optical conductivity below 2 eV. In addition we measured the photoinduced changed in reflectance, ΔR, as a function of time, t, temperature, T, and probe field polarization in both LIO and NIO. In LIO, ΔR(t,T) is anisotropic and comprised of three T dependent components. Two of these components are related to the onset of magnetic order and the third is related to a photoinduced population of metastable electronic excited states. In NIO, ΔR(t,T) has a single T dependent component that is strikingly similar to the electronic excitation component of ΔR in LIO. Through analysis and comparison of ΔR(t,T) for two compounds, we extract information on the onset of magnetic correlations at and above the transition temperature in LIO, the bare spin-flip scattering rate in equilibrium, the lifetime of low-lying quasiparticle excitations, and the polarization dependence of optical transitions that are sensitive to magnetic order.
Degassing explosions at Karymsky Volcano, Kamchatka

Year: 1998

description: During the summer of 1997, Karymsky Volcano produced summit explosions about six times each hour. Typical explosive episodes lasted between 30 seconds and three minutes, produced gas and ash columns several hundred meters high, and ejected some incandescent material. To better understand the physical source mechanisms responsible, we recorded hundreds of explosions with a three component broad-band seismometer and microphone located 1650 meters from the active vent. Nearly every explosion is recorded as an emergent yet identical seismic wavelet which is followed 4.15 s later by an impulsive acoustic arrival. We interpret the signals as a near-surface gas volume burst which fractures the vent 'plug,' lowers the lithostatic pressure within the magma column, and often induces further degassing. When degassing continues, it is generally manifested as either a series of regular one second 'chugging' explosions, steady higher frequency 'jetting', or a hybrid combination. We believe that the seismic signature for 'chugs,' short duration harmonic tremor with integer overtones, is the result of repeated gas volume bursts at the vent. In contrast, seismograms for jetting are non-harmonic and contain higher frequencies. We believe that the competing degassing behaviors are influenced by the gas flux as well as the plug/conduit characteristics. We propose that a plug exists due to a viscosity gradient caused by volatile depletion in the upper conduit.During the summer of 1997, Karymsky Volcano produced summit explosions about six times each hour.

description: Motivated by the increasing interest in finding physically viable rotating sources, we present a new class of anisotropic rotating solutions. The energy-momentum tensor compatible with the metric is composed of anisotropic matter with a non-vanishing energy flow around the symmetry axis and vanishing viscosity. The new class of solutions can be used to find new possible sources for the Kerr metric, to obtain new regular black hole solutions and to study galaxies with a central rotating black hole and an halo of dark matter. As an example, we obtain a 5-parameter class of solutions representing a two-way traversable wormhole smoothly matched to the Kerr one and satisfying all energy conditions outside the wormhole for a wide range of parameters, in particular for compact objects. Finally, with a simple modification of the aforementioned solution, we obtain a source for Kerr metric with a throat geometry, non-representing a two-way traversable wormhole and satisfying all energy conditions.

Reshaping spectrum estimates by removing periodic noise: Application to seismic spectral ratios
Creators: name: Lees, J.M.
Publisher: name: American Geophysical Union, Washington
Year: 1995

description: An automated method for removing line spectrum elements embedded in colored spectra is presented. Since smooth spectrum estimates are desired, line spectra tend to smear out over an effective smoothing window. This introduces a bias in spectrum estimation that seriously degrades signal‐to‐noise ratios, spectral deconvolution or any other operation where spectrum shape is important. Multi‐taper analysis provides a simple algorithmic solution including a method of determining where spectral peaks are both significant with high power. The method is completely general, and examples include estimation of signal‐to‐noise ratio at the 1990 high frequency array, Pinyon Flat, CA. A comparison of noise spectra line segments and signal spectra line spectra reveals similarities associated with instrument noise and shallow resonances stimulated by incoming seismic signals. Identification and removal of resonances can provide a better means of estimating background noise spectra for modeling earthquake source spectra and path effects associated with attenuation.

description: We present the results of precision gamma-ray timing measurements of the binary millisecond pulsar PSR J2339$-$0533, an irradiating system of "redback" type, using data from the Fermi Large Area Telescope. We describe an optimized analysis method to determine a long-term phase-coherent timing solution spanning more than six years, including a measured eccentricity of the binary orbit and constraints on the proper motion of the system. A major result of this timing analysis is the discovery of an extreme variation of the nominal 4.6-hour orbital period $P_{\rm orb}$ over time, showing alternating epochs of decrease and increase. We inferred a cyclic modulation of $P_{\rm orb}$ with an approximate cycle duration of 4.2 years and a modulation amplitude of $ΔP_{\rm orb}/ P_{\rm orb} = 2.3 \times 10^{-7}$. Considering different possible physical causes, the observed orbital-period modulation most likely results from a variable gravitational quadrupole moment of the companion star due to cyclic magnetic activity in its convective zone.

Three-dimensional attenuation tomography at Loma Prieta: inversion of t<> \ for Q

name: Lindley, G.T.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1994

description: Three-dimensional Q-1 variations in the aftershock region of Loma Prieta are derived by tomographic inversion. Low Q is observed near the surface and Q generally increases with depth. The southwest side of the San Andreas fault exhibits lower Q than does the northeast side and this feature apparently extends to approximately 7 km depth. The fault zone, as determined by the dipping plane of aftershock activity, is characterized by slightly higher Qp and lower Qs, compared to regions immediately adjacent to the fault. These correlate with high-velocity anomalies associated with seismicity at depth.
Can weakly nonlinear theory explain Faraday wave patterns near onset?

description: The Faraday problem is an important pattern-forming system that provides some middle ground between systems where the initial instability involves just a single mode and in which complexity then results from mode interactions or secondary bifurcations, and cases where a system is highly turbulent and many spatial and temporal modes are excited. It has been a rich source of novel patterns and of theoretical work aimed at understanding how and why such patterns occur. Yet it is particularly challenging to tie theory to experiment: the experiments are difficult to perform; the parameter regime of interest (large box, moderate viscosity) along with the technical difficulties of solving the free boundary Navier--Stokes equations make numerical solution of the problem hard; and the fact that the instabilities result in an entire circle of unstable wavevectors presents considerable theoretical difficulties. In principle, weakly nonlinear theory should be able to predict which patterns are stable near pattern onset. In this paper we present the first quantitative comparison between weakly nonlinear theory of the full Navier-Stokes equations and (previously published) experimental results for the Faraday problem with multiple frequency forcing. We confirm that three-wave interactions sit at the heart of why complex patterns are stablised but also highlight some discrepancies between theory and experiment. These suggest the need for further experimental and theoretical work to fully investigate the issues of pattern bistability and the role of bicritical/tricritical points in determining bifurcation structure.

The investigated definitions are: index of the overlap Dirac operator, spectral projectors, spectral flow of the Hermitian Wilson-Dirac operator and field theoretic with different kinds of smoothing of gauge fields (HYP and APE smearings, gradient flow, cooling). We also show some results on the topological susceptibility.

description: We investigate the simple one-dimensional driven model, the totally asymmetric exclusion process, coupled to mutually interactive Langmuir kinetics. This model is motivated by recent studies on clustering of motor proteins on microtubules. In the proposed model, the attachment and detachment rates of a particle are modified depending upon the occupancy of neighbouring sites. We first obtain continuum mean-field equations and in certain limiting cases obtain analytic solutions. We show how mutual interactions increase (decrease) the effects of boundaries on the phase behavior of the model. We perform Monte Carlo simulations and demonstrate that our analytical approximations are in good agreement with the numerics over a wide range of model parameters. We present phase diagrams over a selective range of parameters.

The mass ratio of $m_κ/m_{K^\ast(892)}$ is numerically confirmed to vary apparently with quark mass, and the experimental ordering $m_{K^\ast(892)} > m_κ$ is elegantly hold when the light $u/d$ quark masses are sufficiently small, while the valence strange quarks are fixed to its physical values. We also get reasonable signals for $K_1$ meson suggested by SCALAR Collaboration from lattice QCD. The computations are conducted with the MILC $N_f=3$ flavor gauge configurations at three lattice spacings: $a\approx 0.15$, $0.12$, and $0.09$ fm.

Travel‐time tomography in the northern Coachella Valley using aftershocks of the 1986 ML 5.9 North Palm Springs Earthquake

name: Nicholson, C.
Publisher: name: American Geophysical Union, Washington
Year: 1992

description: Tomographic inversion is applied to delay times from aftershocks of the 1986 ML 5.9 North Palm Springs (NPS) earthquake to image 3‐D velocity variations within the northern Coachella Valley. P‐wave arrival times from 1074 earthquakes, with depths ranging from 3 to 20 km, were used as sources recorded by 12 portable and 4 permanent stations. Preliminary results show well‐defined high‐ and low‐velocity anomalies (2–7%) that correlate with the rupture distribution of the 1986 mainshock. At depths less than 8 km, a low‐velocity anomaly predominates between the two NE‐dipping Banning and Mission Creek faults. From 8 to 12 km in depth, where the NPS mainshock and most of the aftershocks occur, a high‐velocity anomaly is observed. This high‐velocity feature is interpreted as imaging the asperity responsible for the 1986 rupture; and suggests that velocity information may help to define important elements, such as asperities, that control fault rupture, and thus, may help to predict the location and size of future events.

description: Tomographic inversion is applied to delay times from local earthquakes to image three dimensional velocity variations near Parkfield, California. The 25 × 20 square km region is represented by nearly cubic blocks of 0.5 km per side. Arrival times of P waves from 551 local earthquakes, with depths of 0 to 15 km, were used as sources producing 3135 rays covering the target region. The data were recorded on low-noise downhole seismographs. The results of the inversion show correlation with some of the local geological and geophysical features. The correlation of higher-velocity features and seismic activity may indicate that earthquakes are occurring in more competent zones while aseismic slip takes place in zones of lower-velocity, less competent rocks.

description: Work package 4 is dedicated to mining and bridging the gaps between research and clinics. As cancer patients’ treatment is becoming more and more complex the concept of a multidisciplinary team working for patient’s benefit is considered the gold standard for improving cancer care. Within cancer multidisciplinary team surgeons, oncologists, radiologists, pathologists, specialist cancer nurses, physicians, specialists in basic scientists and psychologists work the best way to treat cancer patients. A successful multidisciplinary health team leads to a comprehensive assessment of a patient’s situation and works out a safer approach to treat each patient. Therefore, within the VISION project, it was foreseen that medical doctors during their specialization but also scientists will participate in such multidisciplinary teams within the hospital health care units participating in the project.
Tomographic imaging of local earthquake delay times for three- dimensional velocity variation in western Washington
Creators: name: Lees, J.M.
name: Crosson, R.S.s
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1990

description: The Puget Sound region of Western Washington is represented by nearly cubic blocks of 5 km per side. P-wave arrival time observations from 4387 crustal earthquakes, with depths of 0 to 40 km, were used as sources producing 36 865 rays covering the target region. A conjugate gradient method (LSQR) is used to invert the large, sparse system of equations. To diminish the effects of noisy data, the Laplacian is constrained to be zero within horizontal layers. The resolution is estimated by calculating impulse responses at blocks of interest and estimates of standard errors are calculated by the jackknife statistical procedure. Results of the inversion are correlated with some known geologic features and independent geophysical measurements. High P-wave velocities along the eastern flank of the Olympic Peninsula are interpreted to reflect the subsurface extension of Crescent terrane. Low velocities beneath the Puget Sound further to the east are inferred to reflect thick sediment accumulations. The Crescent terrane appears to extend beneath Puget Sound, consistent with its interpretation as a major accretionary unit. In the southern Puget Sound basin, high velocity anomalies at depths of 10-20 km are interpreted as Crescent terrane and are correlated with a region of low seismicity. Near Mt. Rainier, high velocity anomalies may reflect buried plutons.

Geometric phases in quantum information
Creators: name: Sjöqvist, Erik
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The rise of quantum information science has opened up a new venue for applications of the geometric phase (GP), as well as triggered new insights into its physical, mathematical, and conceptual nature. Here, we review this development by focusing on three main themes: the use of GPs to perform robust quantum computation, the development of GP concepts for mixed quantum states, and the discovery of a new type of topological phases for entangled quantum systems. We delineate the theoretical development as well as describe recent experiments related to GPs in the context of quantum information.

description: We introduce a general model of dimer coverings of certain plane bipartite graphs, which we call rail yard graphs (RYG). The transfer matrices used to compute the partition function are shown to be isomorphic to certain operators arising in the so-called boson-fermion correspondence. This allows to reformulate the RYG dimer model as a Schur process, i.e. as a random sequence of integer partitions subject to some interlacing conditions. Beyond the computation of the partition function, we provide an explicit expression for all correlation functions or, equivalently, for the inverse Kasteleyn matrix of the RYG dimer model. This expression, which is amenable to asymptotic analysis, follows from an exact combinatorial description of the operators localizing dimers in the transfer-matrix formalism, and then a suitable application of Wick's theorem. Plane partitions, domino tilings of the Aztec diamond, pyramid partitions, and steep tilings arise as particular cases of the RYG dimer model. For the Aztec diamond, we provide new derivations of the edge-probability generating function, of the biased creation rate, of the inverse Kasteleyn matrix and of the arctic circle theorem.

Sustainability criteria in the RED: the EU policy toward agrofuels and its impacts on human rights

description: Second semester University: University of Seville
description: This paper is aimed at evaluating the accountability of the European Union policy on agrofuels from a human rights perspective. The analysis is focused on the sustainability criteria established by the Renewable Energy Directive (RED) of 23 April 2009. These criteria establish standards for the production and use of agrofuels in order to avoid environmental and social damages that agrofuels have caused so far. Nevertheless this paper gives evidences that these criteria are not adequate to address the real impacts that agrofuels have on human rights at the local and global level. The right to food, the right to water, labour rights, and the rights of indigenous peoples are particularly affected. The inadequacy of the sustainability criteria is not consistent with international human rights law and with the obligations which bound EU and its Member States. Given, on one side, the influence that the EU demand for agrofuels has at the global level and, on the other, the very limited standards established in the RED, the EU is accomplice of grave human rights violations. The RED should be urgently amended; for this reason, this paper also proposes alternative criteria to guarantee a more accountable framework as to agrofuels.

Tomographic P‐wave velocity images of the Loma Prieta Earthquake asperity
Creators: name: Lees, J.M.
Publisher: name: American Geophysical Union, Washington
Year: 1990

description: Tomographic inversion is applied to delay times from local earthquakes to image 3‐D velocity variations surrounding the main rupture of the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake. The 55×45 square km region is represented by blocks of 1 km per side laterally and by 8 layers of varying thickness to 18 km depth. High quality P‐wave arrival times recorded on the USGS CALNET array from 549 crustal earthquakes with depths of O to 25 km were used as sources. Preliminary results several velocity variations (5–12%) that correlate with specific characteristics of the 1989 rupture. These include prominent high‐velocity anomalies near the mainshock hypocenter and prominent low‐velocity anomalies where the dip of the San Andreas fault appears to change significantly. The termination of prominent low velocity features existing primarily in the hanging wall to depths of 7–9 km, correlates with the top of the rupture zone. High‐velocity variations along the fault dominate where aftershock activity is high. The high velocity anomaly located at depth along the fault is interpreted as imaging the asperity on which the Loma Prieta earthquake occurred.
"Marriage of convenience": a controversial, hardly demonstrable phenomenon or an efficient instruments of migration policy?

description: Second semester University: Utrecht University
description: The title of the thesis poses the question of whether the notion of marriages of convenience is just a social construct expressed in legal terms which insufficiently, and in very simplistic way, tries to lay down means for combating the phenomenon of marriage migration, and thereby impersonating a threat to the highest social value of human rights. Or have the states succeeded in addressing the issue of marriages of convenience by adopting effective and efficient measures combating marriages contracted for the sole aim of circumventing national immigration laws? The aim of the thesis is not to recommend any particular measures that should be adopted by the states. The aim is through analysing the case law of the, predominantly, European Court of Human Rights and the European Court of Justice to indicate such measures that could/can have the effect of violating human rights. The first two chapters introduce the concept of “marriages of convenience” and its various modifications among the states together with a brief overview of the Community legislation showing the obvious difficulties arising from the implementation of the measures into practice. Third chapter indicates national measures aimed at combating marriages of convenience, and analyses the existing jurisprudence on human rights with a view to either demonstrate, or indicate possible abuses of human rights by such measures.
Tomographic inversion for three-dimensional velocity structure at Mount St. Helens using earthquake data
Creators: name: Lees, J.M.
name: Crosson, R.S.s
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1989

description: Tomographic inversion is applied to 17 659 P phase observations at 21 stations from 2023 earthquakes in the vicinity of Mount St. Helens to study the three-dimensional velocity structure. The results of the inversion show a remarkable correlation with known geological and geophysical features. The Spirit Lake and Spud Mt plutons are characterized by high-velocity regions extending to approximately 9 km depth. The St. Helens seismic zone, a band of diffuse seismicity extending NNW from the volcano is evident as a prominent low-velocity lineation. The change in character of the velocity anomalies south of St. Helens corresponds well with the near cessation of seismic activity there. A low-velocity anomaly beneath the crater from 6 to 16 km depths may represent modern magma accumulations.

description: We compute the Adler function on the lattice from vacuum polarization data with twisted boundary conditions using numerical derivatives. The study is based on CLS ensembles with two flavours of $O(a)$ improved Wilson fermions. We extrapolate the lattice data for the Adler function to the continuum limit and to the physical pion mass and analyze its dependence on the momentum transfer. We discuss the application of this method to the extraction of the $u,d$ contribution to $a_μ^{\mathrm{HLO}}$.
