description: Texas comprises the eastern portion of the Southwest region, where the convergence of climatological and geopolitical forces has the potential to put extreme stress on water resources. Geologic records indicate that Texas experienced large climate changes on millennial time scales in the past, and over the last thousand years, tree-ring records indicate that there were significant periods of drought in Texas. These droughts were of longer duration than the 1950s “drought of record” that is commonly used in planning, and they occurred independently of human-induced global climate change. Although there has been a negligible net temperature increase in Texas over the past century, temperatures have increased more significantly over the past three decades. Under essentially all climate model projections, Texas is susceptible to significant climate change in the future. Most projections for the 21st century show that with increasing atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations, there will be an increase in temperatures across Texas and a shift to a more arid average climate. Studies agree that Texas will likely become significantly warmer and drier, yet the magnitude, timing, and regional distribution of these changes are uncertain. There is a large uncertainty in the projected changes in precipitation for Texas for the 21st century. In contrast, the more robust projected increase in temperature with its effect on evaporation, which is a dominant component in the region’s hydrologic cycle, is consistent with model projections of frequent and extended droughts throughout the state. For these reasons, we recommend that Texas invest resources to investigate and anticipate the impacts of climate change on Texas’ water resources, with the goal of providing data to inform resource planning. This investment should support development of 1) research programs that provide policy-relevant science; 2) education programs to engage future researchers and policy-makers; and 3) connections between policy-makers, scientists, water resource managers, and other stakeholders. It is proposed that these goals may be achieved through the establishment of a Texas Climate Consortium, consisting of representatives from academia, industry, government agencies, water authorities, and other stakeholders. The mission of this consortium would be to develop the capacity to provide decision makers with the information needed to develop adaptation strategies in the face of future climate change and uncertainty.

description: Seismic noise will be the dominant source of noise at low frequencies for ground based gravitational wave detectors, such as LIGO now under construction. Future interferometers installed at LIGO plan to use at least a double pendulum suspension for the test masses to help filter the seismic noise. We are constructing an apparatus to use as a test bed for double pendulum design. Some of the tests we plan to conduct include: dynamic ranges of actuators, and how to split control between the intermediate mass and lower test mass; measurements of seismic transfer functions; measurements of actuator and mechanical cross couplings; and measurements of the noise from sensors and actuators. All these properties will be studied as a function of mechanical design of the double pendulum.

description: We present an analytical theory that reveals the importance of the longitudinal laser electric field in the resonant acceleration of relativistic electrons by the tightly confined laser beam. It is shown that this field always counterworks to the laser transverse component and effectively decreases the final energy gain of electrons through direct laser acceleration mechanism. This effect is demonstrated by carrying out the particle-in-cell simulations in the setup where the wakefield in the plasma bubble is compensated by the longitudinal laser electric field experienced by the accelerated electrons. The derived scalings and estimates are in good agreement with numerical simulations.
Phenomenal magneto-elastoresistance of WTe$_{2}$: strain engineering of electronic and quantum transport properties

description: Elastoresistance describes the relative change of a material's resistance when strained. It has two major contributions: strain induced geometric and electronic changes. If the geometric factor dominates, like in ordinary metals such as copper, the elastoresistance is positive and rather small, i.e. typically of order 1. In a few materials, however, changes in electronic structure dominate, which gives rise to larger and even negative values, such as (-11) for Bi. Here, we report that the transition metal dichalcogenide (TMDC) WTe$_{2}$ is a member of the second group, exhibiting a large and non-monotonic elastoresistance that is about (-20) near 100 K and changes sign at low temperatures. We discover that an applied magnetic field has a dramatic effect on the elastoresistance in WTe$_{2}$: in the quantum regime at low temperatures, it leads to quantum oscillations of the elastoresistance, that ranges between (-80) to 120 within a field range of only half a Tesla. In the semiclassical regime at intermediate temperatures, we find that the elastoresistance rapidly increases and changes sign in a magnetic field. We provide a semi-quantitative understanding of our experimental results using a combination of first-principle and analytical low-energy model calculations. Understanding bulk properties of TMDCs under uniaxial strain is an important stepping stone toward strain engineering of 2D TMDCs.
Pebble accretion in self-gravitating protostellar discs

Subjects: subject: Earth and Planetary Astrophysics (astro-ph.EP)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Pebble accretion has become a popular component to core accretion models of planet formation, and is especially relevant to the formation of compact, resonant terrestrial planetary systems. Pebbles initially form in the inner protoplanetary disc, sweeping outwards in a radially expanding front, potentially forming planetesimals and planetary cores via migration and the streaming instability. This pebble front appears at early times, in what is typically assumed to be a low mass disc. We argue this picture is in conflict with the reality of young circumstellar discs, which are massive and self-gravitating. We apply standard pebble accretion and streaming instability formulae to self-gravitating protostellar disc models. Fragments will open a gap in the pebble disc, but they will likely fail to open a gap in the gas, and continue rapid inward migration. If this does not strongly perturb the pebble disc, our results show that disc fragments will accrete pebbles efficiently. We find that in general the pebble-to-gas-density ratio fails to exceed 0.01, suggesting that the streaming instability will struggle to operate. It may be possible to activate the instability if 10 cm grains are available, and spiral structures can effectively concentrate them in regions of low gravito-turbulence. If this occurs, lunar mass cores might be assembled on timescales of a few thousand years, **but this is likely to be rare, and is far from proven**. In any case, this work highlights the need for study of how self-gravitating protostellar discs define the distribution and properties of solid bodies, for future planet formation by core accretion.

Desalination and Long-Haul Water Transfer as a Water Supply for Dallas, Texas: A Case Study of the Energy-Water Nexus in Texas

description: As existing water supplies become increasingly strained in some locations, water planners turn to alternative options to quench cities’ thirst. Among these options for inland cities is desalination of seawater or brackish groundwater with long-haul water transfer. Desalination using reverse osmosis membranes is the most common technology in use, yet high pressures required for operation make desalination an energy-intensive water supply option. The subsequent conveyance of desalinated water through long-haul pipelines also requires large amounts of energy. To analyze desalination and long-haul transfer as a drinking water supply, Dallas, Texas, was chosen as a test-bed with two scenarios: seawater desalination near Houston and brackish groundwater desalination near Abilene, both with long-haul transfer of desalinated water to Dallas. Combining the energy requirements for long-distance pumping with the energy demands for desalination, we estimate that desalination and long-haul transfer is nine to 23 times more energy-intensive per unit of water than conventional treatment of local surface water sources, an increase of 230 to 630 MWh/d for 20 million gal (75,700 m3). These results suggest that desalination and long-haul transfer as a water supply for Dallas is less sustainable, based on energy consumption, than use of local surface water sources or water conservation.

description: We present solutions of force-free pulsar magnetospheres coupled with a uniform external magnetic field aligned with the dipole magnetic moment of the pulsar. The inclusion of the uniform magnetic field has the following consequences: The equatorial current sheet is truncated to a finite length, the fraction of field lines that are open increases, and the open field lines are confined within a cylindrical surface instead of becoming radial. A strong external magnetic field antiparallel to the dipole allows for solutions where the pulsar magnetic field is fully enclosed within an ellipsoidal surface. Configurations of fully enclosed or confined magnetospheres may appear in a double neutron star (DNS) where one of the components is a slowly rotating, strongly magnetised pulsar and the other a weakly magnetised millisecond pulsar. Depending on the geometry, twisted field lines from the millisecond pulsar could form an asymmetric wind. More dramatic consequences could appear closer to merger: there, the neutron star with the weaker magnetic field may undergo a stage where it alternates between an open and a fully enclosed magnetosphere releasing up $10^{38}$erg. Under favourable combinations of magnetic fields DNSs can spend up to 10$^3$ yr in the coupled phase, implying a Galactic population of $0.02$ systems. Potential observational signatures of this interaction are discussed including the possibility of powering recurring Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs). We also note that the magnetic interaction cannot have any significant effect on the spin evolution of the two pulsars.

description: A brane universe derived from the Randall-Sundrum models is considered in which an additional Misner-like periodicity is introduced in the extra direction. This model solves the ambiguity in the choice of the brane world by identifying the branes with opposite tensions, in such a way that if one enters the brane with positive tension, one finds oneself emerging from the brane with negative tension, without having experienced any tension. We show that the cosmological evolution resulting from this model matches that of the standard Friedmann scenario, at least in the radiation dominated era, and that there exist closed timelike curves only in the bulk, but not in the branes which are chronologically protected from causality violations by quantum-mechanically stable chronology horizons.

description: In this study, the crude polysaccharides of C. javanica (CJP) was obtained from Codonopsis javanica (Blume) Hook. f. et Thomson using hot water extraction method, which was separated and purified by DEAE-cellulose column and Sepharose CL-6B column. The structure of the purified component was preliminary characterized by gas chromatography-mass spectrometer (GC-MS), high performance gel permeation chromatography (HPGPC) and infrared spectroscopy (IR). By examining the degree of delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) in mice and carbon particle clearance index, the immunomodulatory activity was clarified. The results showed that the extraction rate of CJP was 24.9 ± 0.5%. After purification, the refined polysaccharides component (CJP-2) was obtained. The structural characterization results indicated that CJP-2 was mainly composed of mannose, glucose, and galactose, and its molecular weight was 790 Da. Immunomodulation results showed that the low and medium levels of CJP significantly enhanced the degree of DTH in mice (P < 0.05). CJP can improve the clearance index of mice and enhance their charcoal removal function. The study indicates that C. javanica is a good source of polysaccharides, and CJP may be a new type of immunomodulator.

description: The dynamics of a flat Friedmann-Lemaître-Robertson-Walker model minimally coupled to a massless scalar field has been intensively studied in the context of Loop Quantum Cosmology. This model admits an appropriate solvable representation, named sLQC. The form of the domain of the volume, the main observable to track the quantum evolution, is not straightforward in this solvable representation, and its explicit construction has been overlooked so far. In this work we find the explicit form of physical states belonging to the domain of the volume in sLQC. Specifically, given a physical state in the $v$-representation where the volume acts diagonally, we derive its form in the representation employed in sLQC, making explicit the connection between both representations at the physical level. To this end, we resort to the Wheeler-De Witt (WDW) approach, which shares the physical Hilbert space with sLQC when cast in an analog solvable representation, while being analytically solvable as well in the $v$-representation. Then the domain of the volume for the WDW approach provides that for sLQC. Furthermore, we address the question of semiclassicality in sLQC.

description: We have initiated a programme to study the physical/dynamical state of gas in galaxy clusters and the impact of the cluster environment on gaseous halos of individual galaxies using X-ray imaging and UV absorption line spectroscopy of background QSOs. Here we report results from the analysis Chandra and XMM-Newton archival data of five galaxy clusters with such QSOs, one of which has an archival UV spectrum. We characterize the gravitational masses and dynamical states, as well as the hot intracluster medium (ICM) properties of these clusters. Most clusters are dynamically disturbed clusters based on the X-ray morphology parameters, the X-ray temperature profiles, the large offset between X-ray peak and brightest cluster galaxy (BCG). The baryon contents in the hot ICM and stars of these clusters within $r_{500}$ are lower than the values expected from the gravitational masses, according to the standard cosmology. We also estimate column densities of the hot ICM along the sightlines toward the background QSOs as well as place upper limits on the warm-hot phase for the one sightline with existing UV observations. These column densities, compared with those of the warm and warm-hot ICM to be measured with UV absorption line spectroscopy, will enable us to probe the relationship among various gaseous phases and their connection to the heating/cooling and dynamical processes of the clusters. Furthermore, our analysis of the archival QSO spectrum probing one cluster underscores the need for high quality, targeted UV observations to robustly constrain the 10$^{5-6}$ K gas phase.

description: We study the elastic energy landscape of two-dimensional tin oxide (SnO) monolayers and demonstrate a transition temperature of $T_c=8.5\pm 1.8$ K using ab-initio molecular dynamics (MD), that is close to the value of the elastic energy barrier $J$ derived from $T=0$ K density functional theory calculations. The power spectra of the velocity autocorrelation throughout the MD evolution permits identifying soft phonon modes likely responsible for the structural transformation. The mean atomic displacements obtained from a Bose-Einstein occupation of the phonon modes suggest the existence of a quantum paraelastic phase that could be tuned with charge doping: SnO monolayers could be 2D quantum paraelastic materials with a charge-tunable quantum phase transition.

description: The fascinating electronic properties of the family of layered organic molecular crystals kappa-(BEDT-TTF)2X where X is an anion (e.g., X=I3, Cu[N(CN)2]Br, Cu(SCN)2) are reviewed. These materials are particularly interesting because of similarities to the high-$T_c$ cuprate superconductors including unconventional metallic properties and competition between antiferromagnetism and superconductivity. The temperature dependence of electrical transport, optical, and nuclear magnetic resonance properties deviate significantly from those of a conventional metal. In particular, there appears to be an effective Fermi energy of the order of 100 K which is an order of magnitude smaller than predicted by band structure calculations. The results of quantum chemistry calculations suggest that a minimal theoretical model that can describe these materials is a Hubbard model on an anisotropic triangular lattice with one electron per site. Appropriate parameter values for the model imply that the electronic correlations are strong, significant magnetic frustration is present, and the system is close to a metal-insulator transition. Insight into the physics of this model can be obtained from recent studies of the Hubbard model using a dynamical mean-field approximation. They are consistent with a low effective Fermi energy and the unconventional temperature dependence of many of the properties of the metallic phase. Future directions are suggested for both theoretical and experimental studies.

description: By starting with the Maxwell theory of electromagnetism, we study the change of polarization state of light transmitting through optically anisotropic media. The basic idea is to reduce the Maxwell equation to the Schroedinger like equation for two levels (or states) representing polarization. By using the quantum mechanical technique, the density matrix, and path integral, the evolution of the Stokes parameters results in the equation of motion for a pseudospin representing a point on the Poincare sphere. Two typical examples relevant to actual experiments are considered; the one gives the generalized Faraday effect, and the other realizes an optical analog of magnetic resonance.

Broadband topological slow light through higher momentum-space winding
Creators: name: Guglielmon, Jonathan

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Optics (physics.optics)
subject: Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics (cond-mat.mes-hall)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Slow-light waveguides can strongly enhance light-matter interaction, but suffer from narrow bandwidth, increased backscattering, and Anderson localization. Edge states in photonic topological insulators resist backscattering and localization, but typically cross the bandgap over a single Brillouin zone, meaning that slow group velocity implies narrow-band operation. Here we show theoretically that this can be circumvented via an edge termination that causes the edge state to wind many times around the Brillouin zone, making it both slow and broadband.
Large-distance behaviour of the graviton two-point function in de Sitter spacetime

description: It is known that the graviton two-point function for the de Sitter invariant "Euclidean" vacuum in a physical gauge grows logarithmically with distance in spatially-flat de Sitter spacetime. We show that this logarithmic behaviour is a gauge artifact by explicitly demonstrating that the same behaviour can be reproduced by a pure-gauge two-point function.

Spectro-astrometry of the pre-transitional star LkCa 15 does not reveal an accreting planet but extended H$α$ emission

description: (Abridged) The detection of forming planets in disks around young stars remains elusive, and state-of-the-art observational techniques provide somewhat ambiguous results. It has been reported that the pre-transitional T Tauri star LkCa 15 could host three planets; candidate planet b is in the process of formation, as inferred from its H$α$ emission. However, a more recent work casts doubts on the planetary nature of the previous detections. We have observed LkCa 15 with ISIS/WHT. The spectrograph's slit was oriented towards the last reported position of LkCa 15 b (parallel direction) and 90degr from that (perpendicular). The photocenter and full width half maximum (FWHM) of the Gaussians fitting the spatial distribution at H$α$ and the adjacent continuum were measured. A well-known binary (GU CMa) was used as a calibrator to test the spectro-astrometric performance of ISIS/WHT, recovering consistent photocenter and FWHM signals. However, the photocenter shift predicted for LkCa 15 b is not detected, but the FWHM in H$α$ is broader than in the continuum for both slit positions. Our simulations show that the photocenter and FWHM observations cannot be explained simultaneously by an accreting planet. In turn, both spectro-astrometric observations are naturally reproduced from a roughly symmetric Halpha emitting region centered on the star and extent comparable to the orbit originally attributed to the planet at several au. The extended H$α$ emission around LkCa 15 could be related to a variable disk wind, but additional multi-epoch data and detailed modeling are necessary to understand its physical nature. Spectro-astrometry in H$α$ is able to test the presence of accreting planets and can be used as a complementary technique to survey planet formation in circumstellar disks.

description: The peel of Trichosanthes kirilowii Maxim is clinically used to treat cardiovascular diseases in China. In this study, the NF-κB inhibitory activity of the peel of T. kirilowii Maxim extracts was determined by Dual-Luciferase Reporter Assay System, and the results showed 70% ethanol extract could significantly inhibit the activation of NF-κB (p < 0.001). Further, 21 compounds were isolated from 70% ethanol extract. One new compound, namely (2 R)-(2-amino-2-hydroxymethyl-3-[(4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzoyl)-O-]-propanoic acid (1), and 20 known compounds were elucidated by comprehensive spectroscopic analyses. The isolated compounds were tested in the anti-inflammatory assay, and the results indicated compounds 5, 8, 11, 14, 15, 17 and 21 could inhibit the activation of NF-κB (p <0 .05, p < 0.001) at concentration of 1 μM.

Calculation of molecular vibrational spectra on a quantum annealer

description: Quantum computers are ideal for solving chemistry problems due to their polynomial scaling with system size in contrast to classical computers which scale exponentially. Until now molecular energy calculations using quantum computing hardware have been limited to quantum simulators. In this paper, a new methodology is presented to calculate the vibrational spectrum of a molecule on a quantum annealer. The key idea of the method is a mapping of the ground state variational problem onto an Ising or quadratic unconstrained binary optimization (QUBO) problem by expressing the expansion coefficients using spins or qubits. The algorithm is general and represents a new revolutionary approach for solving the real symmetric eigenvalue problem on a quantum annealer. The method is applied to two chemically important molecules: O$_2$ (oxygen) and O$_3$ (ozone). The lowest two vibrational states of these molecules are computed using both a hardware quantum annealer and a software based classical annealer.

Improved Measurement of the Probability for Gluon Splitting into b bbar in Z0 Decays

description: We have measured gluon splitting into bottom quarks, g -> b bbar, in hadronic Z0 decays collected by SLD between 1996 and 1998. The analysis was performed by looking for secondary bottom production in 4-jet events of any primary flavor. 4-jet events were identified, and in each event a topological vertex-mass technique was applied to the two jets closest in angle in order to identify them as b or bbar jets. The upgraded CCD vertex detector gives very high B-tagging efficiency, especially for B hadrons with the low energies typical of this process. We measured the rate of g -> b bbar production per hadronic event, g_bb, to be (2.44+-0.59 (stat) +-0.34 (syst)) X10**-3.

description: Stochastic description of inflationary spacetimes emulates the growth of vacuum fluctuations by an effective stochastic ``noise field'' which drives the dynamics of the volume-smoothed inflaton. We investigate statistical properties of this field and find its correlator to be a function of distance measured in units of the smoothing length. Our results apply for a wide class of smoothing window functions and are different from previous calculations by Starobinsky and others who used a sharp momentum cutoff. We also discuss the applicability of some approximate noise descriptions to simulations of stochastic inflation.
