The Geology of a Portion of the Repetto Hills

description: The area under consideration is located in what is known as the Rapetto Hills. It is located in the city limits of Los Angeles, and may be reached by going out North Broadway to Mission Road. From Pasadena the area is reached by way of Huntington Boulevard. The area is approximately six square miles in size. The base maps used were taken from the Alhambra, Los Angeles, Altadena, and Glendale sheets.

In parts of the area it is quite solidly built up with homes, in other parts a little farming is attempted, mostly of barley and oats. Some of the homes, especially in the northern part are very nice, but the majority of them evidently belong to a very poor class of people. Lincoln High School is located in the extreme western part of the area near the intersection of North Broadway with Mission Road.

The purpose of the investigation was to determine the geological formations and structure of a limited area in order to prepare a senior thesis as a partial fulfillment of the requirements for graduation.

The base maps used were excellent Los Angeles County ones, with a scale of 2000 feet to the inch. Locations of outcrops, contacts, and the like were chiefly by topography, but in some cases the Brunton compass was used for purposes of location. The work was carried out completely on foot as a car was not available for the author. The nature of the country was such that it was extremely difficult to walk the contacts, and it was necessary to rely on roadcuts almost exclusively.

There has been several previous reports issued on this area. One of these is U.S.G.S. Bulletin 309. This bulletin
only shows the geology in a very rough way, and is more of a hinderance than a help. Eaton has also issued in the "Bulletin of the American Association of Petroleum Geologists" a paper on the "Geology of the Los Angeles Basin". This deals with the geology of the area which was undertaken in an even rougher manner than Bulletin 309. When the field work was nearing a close the author found out that C.L. Gazin, J.W. Daly, and M.H. Sperling, of the Institute, had previously mapped most of the area undertaken. Reference to Gazin's paper was made in order to use the same formational names, and thus avoid needless confusion. The paper by Daly and Sperling has not been examined by the author.

description: Low-temperature electronic conductance in nanocontacts, scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), and metal break junctions involving magnetic atoms or molecules is a growing area with important unsolved theoretical problems. While the detailed relationship between contact geometry and electronic structure requires a quantitative ab initio approach such as density functional theory (DFT), the Kondo many-body effects ensuing from the coupling of the impurity spin with metal electrons are most properly addressed by formulating a generalized Anderson impurity model to be solved with, for example, the numerical renormalization group (NRG) method. Since there is at present no seamless scheme that can accurately carry out that program, we have in recent years designed a systematic method for semiquantitatively joining DFT and NRG. We apply this DFT-NRG scheme to the ideal conductance of single wall (4,4) and (8,8) nanotubes with magnetic adatoms (Co and Fe), both inside and outside the nanotube, and with a single carbon atom vacancy. A rich scenario emerges, with Kondo temperatures generally in the Kelvin range, and conductance anomalies ranging from a single channel maximum to destructive Fano interference with cancellation of two channels out of the total four. The configuration yielding the highest Kondo temperature (tens of Kelvins) and a measurable zero-bias anomaly is that of a Co or Fe impurity inside the narrowest nanotube. The single atom vacancy has a spin, but a very low Kondo temperature is predicted. The geometric, electronic, and symmetry factors influencing this variability are all accessible, which makes this approach methodologically instructive and highlights many delicate and difficult points in the first-principles modeling of the Kondo effect in nanocontacts.

description: Polygonal slap maps are piecewise affine expanding maps of the interval obtained by projecting the sides of a polygon along their normals onto the perimeter of the polygon. These maps arise in the study of polygonal billiards with non-specular reflections laws. We study the absolutely continuous invariant probabilities of the slap maps for several polygons, including regular polygons and triangles. We also present a general method for constructing polygons with slap maps having more than one ergodic absolutely continuous invariant probability.

Ideal hydrodynamics inside as well as outside non-rotating black hole: Hamiltonian description in the Painlev{é}-Gullstrand coordinates

description: It is demonstrated that with using Painlev{é}-Gullstrand coordinates in their quasi-Cartesian variant, the Hamiltonian functional for relativistic perfect fluid hydrodynamics near a non-rotating black hole differs from the corresponding flat-spacetime Hamiltonian just by a simple term. Moreover, the internal region of the black hole is then described uniformly together with the external region, because in Painlev{é}-Gullstrand coordinates there is no singularity at the event horizon. An exact solution is presented which describes stationary accretion of an ultra-hard matter ($\varepsilon\propto n^2$) onto a moving black hole until reaching the central singularity. Equation of motion for a thin vortex filament on such accretion background is derived in the local induction approximation. The Hamiltonian for a fluid having ultra-relativistic equation of state $\varepsilon\propto n^{4/3}$ is calculated in explicit form, and the problem of centrally-symmetric stationary flow of such matter is solved analytically.

description: The possibility of the global Lagrangian reduction of a mechanical system with symmetry is shown to be connected with the characteristic class of a principal fiber bundle of the configuration space over the factor manifold. It is proved that the reduced system is globally Lagrangian if and only if the product of the momentum constant with this characteristic class is zero. In the case of a rigid body rotating about a fixed point in an axially symmetric force field the bundle over a 2-sphere is non-trivial, therefore the reduced system admits a global Routh function if and only if the momentum constant is zero.

Anatomy of Path Integral Monte Carlo: algebraic derivation of the harmonic oscillator's universal discrete imaginary-time propagator and its sequential optimization
Creators: name: Chin, Siu A.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2023
Subjects: subject: Computational Physics (physics.comp-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The direct integration of the harmonic oscillator path integral obscures the fundamental structure of its discrete, imaginary time propagator (density matrix). This work, by first proving an operator identity for contracting two free propagators into one in the presence of interaction, derives the discrete propagator by simple algebra without doing any integration. This discrete propagator is $universal$, having the same two hyperbolic coefficient functions for all short-time propagators. Individual short-time propagator only modifies the coefficient function's argument, its $portal$ parameter, whose convergent order is the same as the thermodynamic energy. Moreover, the thermodynamic energy can be given in a closed form for any short-time propagator. Since the portal parameter can be systematically optimized by matching the expansion of the product of the two coefficients, any short-time propagator can be optimized $sequentially$, order by order, by matching the product coefficient's expansion alone, without computing the energy. Previous empirical findings on the convergence of fourth and sixth-order propagators can now be understood analytically. An eight-order convergent short-time propagator is also derived.

description: We propose that memory effects in the conductivity of metallic systems can be produced by the same two levels systems that are responsible for the 1/f noise. Memory effects are extremely long-lived responses of the conductivity to changes in external parameters such as density or magnetic field. Using the quantum transport theory, we derive a universal relationship between the memory effect and the 1/f noise. Finally, we propose a magnetic memory effect, where the magneto-resistance is sensitive to the history of the applied magnetic field.

description: The effect of a magnetic field on the energy spectrum and on the wave functions of an electron in spherical nano-structures such as single quantum dot and spherical layer is investigated. It is shown that the magnetic field removes the spectrum degeneration with respect to the magnetic quantum number. An increasing magnetic field induction entails a monotonous character of electron energy for the states with $m \geqslant 0$ and a non-monotonous one for the states with $m<0$. The electron wave functions of the ground state and several excited states are studied considering the effect of the magnetic field. It is shown that $1s$ and $1p$ states are degenerated in the spherical layer driven by a strong magnetic field. In the limit case, a series of size-quantized levels produce the Landau levels which are typical of bulk crystals.

description: The difficulty of identifying the physical model of complex systems has led to exploring methods that do not rely on such complex modeling of the systems. Deep reinforcement learning has been the pioneer for solving this problem without the need for relying on the physical model of complex systems by just interacting with it. However, it uses a black-box learning approach that makes it difficult to be applied within real-world and safety-critical systems without providing explanations of the actions derived by the model. Furthermore, an open research question in deep reinforcement learning is how to focus the policy learning of critical decisions within a sparse domain. This paper proposes a novel approach for the use of deep reinforcement learning in safety-critical systems. It combines the advantages of probabilistic modeling and reinforcement learning with the added benefits of interpretability and works in collaboration and synchronization with conventional decision-making strategies. The BC-SRLA is activated in specific situations which are identified autonomously through the fused information of probabilistic model and reinforcement learning, such as abnormal conditions or when the system is near-to-failure. Further, it is initialized with a baseline policy using policy cloning to allow minimum interactions with the environment to address the challenges associated with using RL in safety-critical industries. The effectiveness of the BC-SRLA is demonstrated through a case study in maintenance applied to turbofan engines, where it shows superior performance to the prior art and other baselines.

description: Detecting post-merger features of merger remnants is highly dependent on the depth of observation images. However, it has been poorly discussed how long the post-merger features are visible under different observational conditions. We investigate a merger-feature time useful for understanding the morphological transformation of galaxy mergers via numerical simulations. We use N-body/hydrodynamic simulations, including gas cooling, star formation, and supernova feedback. We run a set of simulations with various initial orbital configurations and with progenitor galaxies having different morphological properties mainly for equal-mass mergers. As reference models, we ran additional simulations for non-equal mass mergers and mergers in a large halo potential. Mock images using the SDSS $r$ band are synthesized to estimate a merger-feature times and compare it between the merger simulations. The mock images suggest that the post-merger features involve a small fraction of stars, and the merger-feature time depends on galaxy interactions. In an isolated environment, the merger-feature time is, on average, $\sim$ 2 times the final coalescence time for a shallow surface bright limit of 25 mag/arcsec^2. For a deeper surface brightness limit of 28 mag/arcsec^2, however, the merger-feature time is a factor of two longer, which is why the detection of post-merger features using shallow surveys has been difficult. Tidal force of a cluster potential is effective in stripping post-merger features out and reduces the merger-feature time.

description: Accurate assessments of soil properties are required to improve fertilizer management practices for crop production. Conventional chemical analysis in the laboratory is costly and time-consuming. Soil color is related to different soil compositions, while soil magnetic susceptibility (MS) has been found to reflect the abundance of magnetic minerals relevant to soil properties. Improving proximal sensing techniques for the analysis of soil color and MS provides opportunities for affordable and rapid assessments of soil properties. The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential use of soil color parameters and MS values to predict soil properties using stepwise multiple linear regression (SMLR), random forest (RF), and nonlinear regression approaches in lowland and upland fields in the central highlands of Madagascar. The target properties included the contents of soil organic carbon (SOC), total nitrogen (TN), oxalate-extractable phosphorus and iron (Feox), and the soil texture. The model prediction accuracy was assessed using the coefficient of determination (R2), root-mean-square error (RMSE), and the ratio of performance to interquartile distance (RPIQ). The use of soil color parameters yielded an acceptable prediction accuracy of the Feox content (loge Feox) for all rice fields (R2 = 0.54, RMSE = 0.55, RPIQ = 1.70) using the RF algorithm, while the SMLR approach gave the most accurate prediction for upland fields with acceptable reliabilities for SOC, Feox, and clay and sand content prediction, with R2 ranging from 0.43 to 0.67 and RPIQ from 1.63 to 1.77. In lowland fields, TN content was predicted with acceptable accuracy (R2 = 0.34, RMSE = 0.49, RPIQ = 1.71) using SMLR with the color parameter. The combination of the soil color parameters with the MS value as predictor variables increased SOC prediction for lowland fields using the RF approach (R2 = 0.57, RMSE = 6.37, RPIQ = 1.96). Use of the soil color and MS parameters was revealed to be a promising way to simplify the assessment of soil properties in upland and lowland ecosystems by using RF and SMLR approaches. A combined use of the soil color and MS parameters improved the prediction accuracy for the SOC content.
Geology and Ore Deposits of a Part of the Panamint Range, California

description: The Panamint Range is a normal basin-range tilted fault-block, uplifted probably in Tertiary time and rejuvenated by very complex recent faulting on the west. This great block is approximately 100 miles long, but the area covered by the reconnaissance geologic map embraces a tract of country in the southern portion of the range about 25 miles from north to south. The range occupies a commanding position, forming the west wall of Death Valley almost throughout its entire length and the east wall of the somewhat smaller, but very similar, Panamint Valley. The rooks consist of a great thickness of undifferentiated metamorphic complex, embracing schists, gneisses, and marble, predominantly of sedimentary origin, unjected by granitic rocks and out by diabase dikes. These are overlain by less highly metamorphosed slaty schists and dolomitic limestones, separated by a nonconformity from a succession of rooks consisting largely of limestones, dolomites and schists. The age of the rooks is unknown, but is believed to range from pre-Cambrian to lower Paleozoic. Structure within the range is not entirely clear and that of certain rook masses is indeterminable. The older rooks on the west slope show a westward dip of the foliation, while the younger rooks forming the crest of the range and the Death Valley side, dip gently eastward. A general lenticular character of the older rooks is characteristic, and, in general, folding is of major importance. Deposits of gold, lead and antimony occur in various places in the range, but the silver-bearing quartz veins in the Panamint district are of chief interest. The latter occur principally in limestone, but also in schist, and are strong fissure veins of Mesozoic age.

Geology of the Puente Hills region in the Puente Quadrangle

description: The area mapped is located in the portion of the Puente
Hills just east of the town of Puente. The problem was to
map the region shaded in brown on the index map. The area
hatched in brown is the Puente Quadrangle, which is the map
used.

Geographical names are vaguely defined in this part of
Southern California. The United States Geological Survey
has called the nearly isolated group of hills between Puente
and the Pass and Covina Road, part of the Puente Hills, and
the large group of hills between this road and the city of
Pomona, the San Jose Hills. Other definitions will be omitted from this paper in order to avoid confusion, so the name Puente hills, as far as this region is concerned, applies only to the small cluster of hills mentioned above.

The area chosen was bounded by the San Gabriel Valley
on the north, Puente Valley on the south, the east border
of the Puente Quadrangle, and the town of Puente on the west. Field work was conducted in this three and one-half square miles plot for sixteen days, with the purpose being a structural field problem for a Bachelor's thesis at the California Institute of Technology. The base map, the Puente Quadrangle of the Unites States Geological Survey, edition of 1927, was excellent to work with, as the scale was 1:24,000, and the contour interval in the hilly country was twenty-five feet.

Strikes and dips, accurate in most cases to plus or
minus three degrees, were obtained with a Brunton Compass.
The estimate does not account for the slumping of surface
outcrops, nor does it apply to the attitude of poorly
bedded outcrops. A few dip and strike readings do not
fit in the general picture; nor can they be explained
in any way other than mistakes or minor flexures.

All of the contacts were traced as accurately as
natural conditions allowed. In the parts of the region
devoted to pasturage, the only hindrance to exact tracing of
the contact was cactus, as outcrops were abundant and most
of the rock was in place. Unfortunately, much of the area
was under cultivation which removed all of the surface outcrops and destroyed any trace of the contact. The change
between conglomerate and shale in these places could only
be determined to within two hundred feet.

description: An analytical circuit model able to predict the input impedance of reconfigurable graphene plasmonic dipoles is presented. A suitable definition of plasmonic characteristic impedance, employing natural currents, is used to for consistent modeling of the antenna-load connection in the circuit. In its purely analytical form, the model shows good agreement with full-wave simulations, and explains the remarkable tuning properties of graphene antennas. Furthermore, using a single full-wave simulation and scaling laws, additional parasitic elements can be determined for a vast parametric space, leading to very accurate modeling. Finally, we also show that the modeling approach allows fair estimation of radiation efficiency as well. The approach also applies to thin plasmonic antennas realized using noble metals or semiconductors.

description: Potassium (K) fertilizer consumption in rice production has increased in developing countries where negative K balance was observed, but it has recently decreased in Japan. This situation raises a question of how K fertilization is managed in Japanese paddy fields and how it affects soil K balance and soil K status. Rice straw (RS) is a good source of K, and RS recycling after harvesting is a common practice in Japan. However, in mixed crop–livestock systems, RS is taken at harvesting time to use as the feed for cows and substituted with the application of cow dung compost (CDC) to the fields. We investigated soil K balance and soil K status in 8 (2017) and 10 (2018) pairs of adjacent RS- and CDC-treated fields in Mamurogawa, Yamagata, Japan. The K balance was calculated from K inputs (RS or CDC, fertilizer, and irrigation water) and K outputs (plant uptake and leaching). K fertilizer application varied widely in both treatments, with no significant difference between RS and CDC fields. K fertilizer was applied in amounts lower than those recommended for paddy rice in the study area in 56% of the fields in both treatments. The K balance was positive in most fields with RS recycling even if K fertilizer application was lower than recommended, but it was negative in half of the fields where RS was substituted with CDC. Most fields in the RS treatment had higher soil exchangeable K than the standard value for fertile soil. Therefore, K input through RS is sufficient for maintaining positive K balance, whereas K input in the CDC treatment from CDC or fertilizer may need to be increased to ensure positive K balance.

description: The planar interface of a metal and a hyperbolic, dielectric, structurally chiral material can support the propagation of none, one, or multiple surface-plasmon-polariton (SPP) waves, at a specified frequency and along a specified direction in the interface plane. When multiple SPP waves can exist, they differ in phase speed, propagation length, degree of localization to the interface, and spatial profiles of the associated electromagnetic fields.

description: The well-formulation and the well-posedness of the Cauchy problem is discussed for {\it hybrid metric-Palatini gravity}, a recently proposed modified gravitational theory consisting of adding to the Einstein-Hilbert Lagrangian an $f(R)$ term constructed {\it à la} Palatini. The theory can be recast as a scalar-tensor one predicting the existence of a light long-range scalar field that evades the local Solar System tests and is able to modify galactic and cosmological dynamics, leading to the late-time cosmic acceleration. In this work, adopting generalized harmonic coordinates, we show that the initial value problem can always be {\it well-formulated} and, furthermore, can be {\it well-posed} depending on the adopted matter sources.

description: Estimating arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungal activity to colonize crop root before cultivation is prerequisite for effective utilization of their functions which enhance growth and yield of the plant especially under low fertilizer input. We have hypothesized that the infection unit (IU) density formed on test plant roots grown for short period (12 days) with soil sampled from soybean production fields would be an effective indicator to predict AM fungal colonization intensity to the plant. In order to test this hypothesis, three-year farmland survey was conducted, in which soil samples before sowing soybean and the plant root samples at third trifoliate (V3) and full bloom (R2) stage were collected from farmers’ fields in two regions in Hokkaido, Iwamizawa and Tokachi. For each sampling spot, IU density was determined by using test plants, and intensity of AM fungal colonization of soybean root was measured. Before pursuing field survey, laboratory experiments were conducted to find out proper soil storage condition that keeps IU density unchanged while handling many soil samples. Our results indicated that IU density was almost comparable to the original value after six-month storage if soil samples were kept in a refrigerator, although storing at ambient temperature significantly decreased the measurement. Air drying also had negative impact on IU density. According to the field survey, IU densities determined using field soil were positively and significantly correlated with AM fungal colonization of soybean roots at both V3 and R2 stages. Differences in climate, soil type, and style of agriculture between Iwamizawa and Tokachi seemed to have little effect on IU density-AM fungal colonization relationship. Other than IU density, soil pH and soil penetration resistance at 10 cm depth were selected as significant explanatory variables for predicting AM fungal colonization by multiple regression analysis. However, IU density was the most influential factor among three. Therefore, IU density is recognized as an effective measure to evaluate AM fungal colonizing activity in field soil.

description: Using 580 pb$^{-1}$ of $e^+e^-$ annihilation data taken with the CLEO--c detector at $ψ(3770)$, the decay $D^0(\overline{D}^0)\to K^\pmπ^\mp π^+π^-$ has been studied to make the highest precision measurement of $D^0$ mass, $M(D^0)=1864.845\pm0.025\pm0.022\pm0.053$ MeV, where the first error is statistical, the second error is systematic, and the third error is due to uncertainty in kaon masses. As an intermediate step of the present investigation the mass of the $K_S$ meson has been measured to be $M(K_S)=497.607\pm0.007\pm0.015$ MeV. Both $M(D^0)$ and $M(K_S)$ are the most precise single measurements of the masses of these mesons.

description: The work on which the present report is based has
been done by Mr. Francis D. Bode and the present writer.
The problem was originally taken up as a thesis project
for the degree of Bachelor of Science at the California
Institute of Technology. Since that time, the author has
spent all time available for research under the Institute
curriculum for the Master's Degree on this problem. Mr. Bode has also spent a considerable amount of time on the
area since the original theses were written. This study
has been carried on under the direction of Dr. John P. Buwalda, chairman of the Division of Geology and Paleontology at the California Institute of Technology.

The ultimate object in view in this work is a detailed
knowledge of the structure and stratigraphy, as well as
of the fauna of the area. The immediate result desired
in this thesis was a general account of the major structural
features and a general knowledge of the stratigraphy and
faunas. This last result is thought to have been accomplished. Detail of structure in many parts of the area have yet to be worked out. In the region between Laguna and Abalone Point Canyon near the coast, particularly, the structure shown on the map here presented is subject to revision. It is apparently complicated and our present conclusions may be considerably altered in detail with further work. Likewise, the general stratigraphic column is thought to be satisfactorily known. Finer subdivisions can be made and mapped; but it was not possible to do so for the present report. There is a great deal of paleontologic material to be found in the Hills. Collections thus far made are probably representative but not complete. The paleontologic determinations here presented are tentative; further work will, however, probably not alter the general conclusions drawn from the paleontologic evidence. It is hoped by Mr. Bode and myself that, in the course of work to be pursued for the Doctor’s Degree, we shall be able to complete a detailed study of the Hills. Mr. Bode proposes to continue work on the structure; and I hope to make detailed studies of the petrology and faunas of the
Vaqueros and Temblor formations.
