description: A geometric construction of Z_2-graded orthogonal modular categories is given. Their 0-graded parts coincide with categories previously obtained by Blanchet and the author from the category of tangles modulo the Kauffman skein relations. Quantum dimensions and twist coefficients for 1-graded simple objects (spinors) are calculated. We show that our even orthogonal modular categories admit cohomological refinements and the odd orthogonal ones lead to spin refinements. The relation with the quantum group approach is discussed.

description: This paper proposes an approach for fusing direct radiometric data from a thermal camera with inertial measurements to extend the robotic capabilities of aerial robots for navigation in GPS-denied and visually degraded environments in the conditions of darkness and in the presence of airborne obscurants such as dust, fog and smoke. An optimization based approach is developed that jointly minimizes the re-projection error of 3D landmarks and inertial measurement errors. The developed solution is extensively verified against both ground-truth in an indoor laboratory setting, as well as inside an underground mine under severely visually degraded conditions.

description: The electromotive forces induced by surface acoustic waves (SAWs) are investigated in ferromagnetic thin films. CoFeB thin films deposited on LiNbO$_3$ substrates are patterned into Hall-bars to study the acoustoelectric transport properties of the device. The longitudinal and transverse dc voltages that develop in the Hall bars, which are parallel and orthogonal to the flow of the SAW, respectively, are measured under application of an in-plane magnetic field. The longitudinal voltage scales linearly with the SAW power and reverses its polarity upon changing the direction to which the SAW propagates, suggesting generation of a dc acoustic current via the SAW excitation. The magnetic field has little influence on the acoustic current. In contrast, the SAW induced transverse voltage shows significant dependence on the relative angle between the magnetic field and the SAW propagation direction. Such field angle dependent voltage resembles that of the planar Hall voltage induced by electric current. Interestingly, the angle dependent acoustic transverse voltage does not depend on the SAW propagation direction. Moreover, the magnitude of the equivalent angle dependent acoustic transverse resistance is more than one order of magnitude larger than that of the planar Hall resistance. These results show the unique acoustoelectric transport properties of ferromagnetic thin films.

description: We explain how an approximation to the rings formed by the host galaxies in lensed QSOs can be inferred from the QSO data alone. A simple ring image can be made from any lens model by a simple piece of computer graphics: just plot a contour map of the arrival-time surface with closely-spaced contours. We go on to explain that rings should be (a) sensitive to time-delay ratios between different pairs of images, but (b) very insensitive to H_0. We illustrate this for the well-known quads 1115+080 and 1608+656.

description: We investigate the effects of dust on Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) HII region spectral energy distributions using arcminute-resolution far-ultraviolet (FUV), H-alpha, far-infrared (FIR), and radio images. Widely-used indicators of the amount of light lost to dust (attenuation) at H-alpha and in the FUV correlate with each other, although often with substantial scatter. There are two interesting systematic discrepancies. First, H-alpha attenuations estimated from the Balmer decrement are lower than those estimated from the H-alpha-to-thermal radio luminosity ratio. Our data, at this stage, cannot unambiguously identify the source of this discrepancy. Second, the attenuation at 1500 angstroms and UV spectral slope, beta, correlate, although the slope and scatter are substantially different from the correlation first derived for starbursting galaxies by Calzetti et al. Combining our result with those of Meurer et al. for ultra-luminous infrared galaxies and Calzetti et al. for starbursting galaxies, we conclude that no single relation between beta and 1500 angstrom attenuation is applicable to all star-forming systems.

description: Cluster analysis which focuses on the grouping and categorization of similar elements is widely used in various fields of research. Inspired by the phenomenon of atomic fission, a novel density-based clustering algorithm is proposed in this paper, called fission clustering (FC). It focuses on mining the dense families of a dataset and utilizes the information of the distance matrix to fissure clustering dataset into subsets. When we face the dataset which has a few points surround the dense families of clusters, K-nearest neighbors local density indicator is applied to distinguish and remove the points of sparse areas so as to obtain a dense subset that is constituted by the dense families of clusters. A number of frequently-used datasets were used to test the performance of this clustering approach, and to compare the results with those of algorithms. The proposed algorithm is found to outperform other algorithms in speed and accuracy.

description: Formation of electronic nematicity is a common thread of unconventional superconductors. In iron-based materials, the long-range nematic order is revealed by the orthorhombic lattice distortion, which importance is a highly controversial topic due the small magnitude of the distortion. Here, we study the local crystal structure of FeSe and its interaction with electronic degrees of freedom using ultrafast electron diffraction, x-ray pair distribution function analysis, and transmission electron microscopy and find a significant lattice response to local nematicity. The study demonstrates how local lattice distortions, which exist even at temperatures above the nematic phase transition, can be released by photoexcitation, leading to an enhancement of the crystalline order. The observed local atomic structures and their out-of-equilibrium behavior unravel a sophisticated coupling between the lattice and nematic order parameter in FeSe.
Development, characterisation and validation of functionalised polymer-based materials for smart applications
Creators: name: Gil-Castell, Óscar
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2019

description: The understanding of new materials and methodologies have led to an exponential progress of polymer science. Recent advances in polymer modification and processing techniques have endorsed amazing functionalities to cover the features required in specific applications. The aim of this thesis was to develop appropriate research strategies of functionalisation of polymers based on a multi-stage scheme, involving the design, processing, characterisation, and validation to meet the requisites of specific durability and service life. This methodology was applied to provide alternative solutions that respond to service requirements in several applications, such as photo-stabilisation of polyolefins for outdoor applications, polyelectrolyte membranes for fuel cells, and scaffolds for tissue engineering. The functionalisation of polymers was performed by macromolecular modification, blending, and combination with micro and nanoparticles. Processing techniques such as solvent-casting, hot-melt extrusion, compression moulding and electrospinning permitted to obtain specific physico-chemical features, which were determined by spectroscopy, chromatography, microscopy and thermal analysis. In addition, a validation procedure was performed by means of real or simulated service conditions, which helped assess the suitability of the functionalised polymer-based materials. In the field of the photo-stabilisation of polyolefins, polydisperse silicon particles provided high stability to raw non-additivated polypropylene (PP) against sunlight irradiation in terms of appearance, thermal stability and mechanical properties. In order to design polyelectrolytes for fuel cells, the cross-linking and sulfonation of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) with sulfosuccinic acid (SSA) was considered. The combination with graphene oxide (GO) and chitosan (CS) was also explored. The new functionalised films or nanofibrous polyelectrolytes, offered dimensional and thermal stability under service conditions, were electric insulators, and revealed promising performance in terms of proton conductivity. Functionalised blended scaffolds of polycaprolactone (PCL) and gelatin (Ge) were obtained for tissue engineering. The control of the dissolution time into a formic/acetic acid hydrolytic solvent prior to electrospinning permitted to obtain tailored scaffolds, in terms of nanofibrous morphology, physico-chemical performance and biocompatibility. The scaffolds with balanced ratios of PCL/Ge promoted in vitro cell adhesion and proliferation, as well as suited appropriate durability under in vitro conditions and during the in vivo implantation.

description: We present the results of measurements of the solar neutrino capture rate in gallium metal by the Russian-American Gallium Experiment SAGE during slightly more than half of a 22-year cycle of solar activity. Combined analysis of the data of 92 runs during the 12-year period January 1990 through December 2001 gives a capture rate of solar neutrinos with energy more than 233 keV of 70.8 +5.3/-5.2 (stat.) +3.7/-3.2 (syst.) SNU. This represents only slightly more than half of the predicted standard solar model rate of 128 SNU. We give the results of new runs beginning in April 1998 and the results of combined analysis of all runs since 1990 during yearly, monthly, and bimonthly periods. Using a simple analysis of the SAGE results combined with those from all other solar neutrino experiments, we estimate the electron neutrino pp flux that reaches the Earth to be (4.6 +/- 1.1) E10/(cm^2-s). Assuming that neutrinos oscillate to active flavors the pp neutrino flux emitted in the solar fusion reaction is approximately (7.7 +/- 1.8) E10/(cm^2-s), in agreement with the standard solar model calculation of (5.95 +/- 0.06) E10/(cm^2-s).

It is equivalent to the Poisson relation (or wave trace formula) between spectrum and closed geodesics. We view it primarily as a computational device for explicitly calculating wave trace invariants. Its effectiveness will be illustrated in subsquent articles in the series in which concrete inverse spectral results are proved.

description: The possibility of the existence of mesons with two or more quark-antiquark pairs is investigated with a new application of the Thomas-Fermi (TF) statistical quark model. Quark color couplings are treated in a mean field manner similar to a previous application to baryons, and short and concise expressions for energies are derived. We find that, on average, quarks only interact with antiquarks in such systems. The TF differential equation is constructed and systems with heavy-light quark content are examined. Three types of mesonic systems are defined. In the case of charm quarks, multi-charmonium, multi-$Z$ meson and multi-$D$ meson family types are examined. System analogs for bottom quarks are also constructed. Quantitative trends for system energies of mesonic quark matter are extracted as a function of the number of quark pairs. We find indications from energy plots that multi-$Z$ type mesons (and their bottom quark analogs) are actually stable for a range of quark number pairs. At this initial stage we have not yet included explicit spin interaction couplings between quarks, but we can take one level of degeneracy into account in our two-inequivalent TF function construction.

description: The vibrational and electronic properties of 2-dimensinal (2D) materials can be efficiently tuned by external strain due to their good stretchability. Resonant Raman spectroscopy is a versatile tool to study the physics of phonons, electrons and their interactions simultaneously, which is particularly useful for the investigation of strain effect on 2D materials. Here, for the first time, we report the resonant Raman study of strained few-layer InSe (γ-phase). Under ~ 1% of uniaxial tensile strain, one order of magnitude enhancement of Raman intensity for longitudinal optical (LO) phonon is observed, while other modes exhibit only modest change. Further analysis demonstrates that it arises from the intraband electron-phonon scattering channel for LO phonon in resonance. The large enhancement of Raman intensity provides us a sensitive and novel method to characterize the strain effect and a mapping of the strain distribution in a wrinkled sample is demonstrated. In addition, we observed sizable redshifts of first-order optical phonon modes. The shift rate exhibits phonon mode dependence, in excellent agreement with density functional perturbation theory (DFPT) calculations. Our study paves the way for sensitive strain quantification in few-layer InSe and its application in flexible electronic and optoelectronic devices.

description: We show analytically that large abundances of NH2D and NHD2 can be produced by gas phase chemistry in the interiors of cold dense clouds. The calculated fractionation ratios are in good agreement with the values that have been previously determined in L134N and suggest that triply-deuterated ammonia could be detectable in dark clouds. Grain surface reactions may lead to similar NH2D and NHD2 enhancements but, we argue, are unlikely to contribute to the deuteration observed in L134N.

description: This paper examines the vectorial nature of area from an integrated mathematical and physical perspective. It demonstrates that area is a vector quantity by analyzing its emergence in different dimensions, starting from one-dimensional space to planar surfaces, and then applying the concept to spherical surfaces. The study highlights the inconsistencies that arise when assuming area is a scalar quantity, focusing on geometric and physical interpretations. Additionally, this paper critically reviews Gauss’s assumption that differential area vectors on a closed surface sum to zero, showing that this assumption lacks rigorous mathematical and physical justification.

description: I investigate the claim of those who believe that considerations of relevance are essential to an analysis of entailment. A hallmark of this claim is that A&-A does not entail any random B, and hence there must be an error in Lewis' proof that it does. Their attack on the "Official View" of entailment has generally suffered from their neglect to give a formal analysis of relevance. Without such an analysis, the arguments of the proponents of relevance cannot compete with the well established classical and intuitionistic theories of deduction. One exception may be the work in relevance logic begun by Anderson and Belnap. Thus I devote a section to their system R and its important neighbors. A systematic and critical appraisal of the system shows that without an independent account of relevance the choice of axioms for the system must be ad hoc. This is so despite the development of formal semantics, and a primitive move towards a theory of relevance embodied in Belnap's claim that "a necessary condition for A's being relevant to B is that they share a propositional variable." Hence it is essential to give a formal characterization of relevance before we may ascertain the part it plays in the analysis of entailment. I give two formal criteria of relevance, truth functional relevance and occurrence relevance, and investigate their formal properties The investigation of systems which embody these formal relevance criteria enables me to develop a theory of the part relevance plays in logical study. My position is that relevance logic is not, and should not be, the primary tool for logical studies. In most cases we are primarily interested in the kind of logical connection exemplified by the classical concept of deducibility. However, there are logical inquiries in which relevance logic plays a crucial role, and our intuitions in these areas appear to be compatible with the formal relevance logics that I develop. For when we study the strength of assumptions, alternative foundations, or the structure of proofs or systems, we are very much concerned with relevance. In particular, relevance appears to be involved with the concept of mathematical elegance. Thus, relevance is perhaps not essential to deduction, but is a valid area of concern for the logician

description: Multiplication is a basic arithmetic operation that is encountered in almost all general-purpose microprocessing and digital signal processing applications, and multiplication is physically realized using a multiplier. This paper discusses the physical implementation of indicating asynchronous multipliers, which are inherently elastic and are robust to timing, process, and parametric variations, and are modular. We consider the physical implementation of many weak-indication asynchronous multipliers using a 32/28-nm CMOS technology by adopting the array multiplier architecture. The multipliers are synthesized in a semi-custom ASIC-design style. The 4-phase return-to-zero (RTZ) and the 4-phase return-to-one (RTO) handshake protocols are considered for the data communication. The multipliers are realized using strong-indication or weak-indication full adders. Strong-indication 2-input AND function is used to generate the partial products in the case of both RTZ and RTO handshaking. The full adders considered are derived from different indicating asynchronous logic design methods. Among the multipliers considered, a weak-indication asynchronous multiplier utilizing the biased weak-indication full adder is found to be efficient in terms of the cycle time and the power-cycle time product with respect to both RTZ and RTO handshaking. Also, the 4-phase RTO handshake protocol is found to be preferable than the 4-phase RTZ handshake protocol for achieving enhanced optimizations in the design metrics.

description: Sparse Bayesian learning (SBL) is a powerful framework for tackling the sparse coding problem. However, the most popular inference algorithms for SBL become too expensive for high-dimensional settings, due to the need to store and compute a large covariance matrix. We introduce a new inference scheme that avoids explicit construction of the covariance matrix by solving multiple linear systems in parallel to obtain the posterior moments for SBL. Our approach couples a little-known diagonal estimation result from numerical linear algebra with the conjugate gradient algorithm. On several simulations, our method scales better than existing approaches in computation time and memory, especially for structured dictionaries capable of fast matrix-vector multiplication.

description: We present the results of a massive variability search based on a photometric survey of a six square degree region along the Galactic plane at ($l = 305^\circ$, $b = -0.8^\circ$) and ($l = 330^\circ$, $b = -2.5^\circ$). This survey was performed in the framework of the EROS II (Expérience de Recherche d'Objets Sombres) microlensing program. The variable stars were found among 1,913,576 stars that were monitored between April and June 1998 in two passbands, with an average of 60 measurements. A new period-search technique is proposed which makes use of a statistical variable that characterizes the overall regularity of the flux versus phase diagram. This method is well suited when the photometric data are unevenly distributed in time, as is our case. 1,362 objects whose luminosity varies were selected. Among them we identified 9 Cepheids, 19 RR Lyrae, 34 Miras, 176 eclipsing binaries and 266 Semi-Regular stars. Most of them are newly identified objects. The cross-identification with known catalogues has been performed. The mean distance of the RR Lyrae is estimated to be $\sim 4.9 \pm 0.3$ kpc undergoing an average absorption of $\sim 3.4 \pm 0.2$ magnitudes. This distance is in good agreement with the one of disc stars which contribute to the microlensing source star population.Our catalogue and light curves are available electronically from the CDS, Strasbourg and from our Web site http://eros.in2p3.fr.

description: Hamilton equations based not only upon the Poincare--Cartan equivalent of a first-order Lagrangian, but rather upon its Lepagean equivalent are investigated. Lagrangians which are singular within the Hamilton--De Donder theory, but regularizable in this generalized sense are studied. Legendre transformation for regularizable Lagrangians is proposed, and Hamilton equations, equivalent with the Euler--Lagrange equations, are found. It is shown that all Lagrangians affine or quadratic in the first derivatives of the field variables are regularizable. The Dirac field and the electromagnetic field are discussed in detail.

description: Second-generation exoplanet imagers using extreme adaptive optics and coronagraphy have demonstrated their great potential for studying close circumstellar environments and for detecting new companions and helping to understand their physical properties. However, at very small angular separation, their performance in contrast is limited by several factors: diffraction by the complex telescope pupil not perfectly canceled by the coronagraph, residual dynamic wavefront errors, chromatic wavefront errors, and wavefront errors resulting from noncommon path aberrations (NCPAs). In a previous work, we demonstrated the use of a Zernike wavefront sensor called ZELDA for sensing NCPAs in VLT/SPHERE and their compensation. In the present work, we move to the next step with the on-sky validation of NCPA compensation with ZELDA. We start by reproducing previous results on the internal source and show that the amount of aberration integrated between 1 and 15 cycles/pupil is decreased by a factor of five, which translates into a gain in raw contrast of between 2 and 3 below 300 mas. On sky, we demonstrate that NCPA compensation works in closed loop, leading to an attenuation of the amount of aberration by a factor of approximately two. However, we identify a loss of sensitivity for the sensor that is only partly explained by the difference in Strehl ratio between the internal and on-sky measurements. Coronagraphic imaging on sky is improved in raw contrast by a factor of 2.5 at most in the ExAO-corrected region. We use coronagraphic image reconstruction based on a detailed model of the instrument to demonstrate that both internal and on-sky raw contrasts can be precisely explained, and we establish that the observed performance after NCPA compensation is no longer limited by an improper compensation for aberration but by the current apodized-pupil Lyot coronagraph design.

GSH 138-01-94, an old supernova remnant in the far outer Galaxy

description: The properties of the Galactic HI shell GSH 138-01-94 are derived from data of the Canadian Galactic Plane Survey. The basic parameters of GSH 138-01-94 were determined by fitting the expansion of a thin shell to the expansion velocity field on the sky. The kinematic distance is 16.6 kpc for v_LSR=-94.2 $\pm$ 0.5 km/s. The radius is 180 $\pm$ 10 pc, the expansion velocity v_exp = 11.8 $\pm$ 0.9 km/s, and the mass 2 * 10^5 M_sun. No radio continuum counterpart of the shell was detected at 21 cm or at 74 cm. Absorption of a background continuum source constrains the spin temperature of \HI in the shell to T_s=230^{367}_{173} K. The expansion age of GSH 138-01-94 is 4.3 Myr. These observables are in excellent agreement with predictions from hydrodynamic models for a supernova remnant in a low-density low-metallicity environment such as the outer Galaxy. GSH 138-01-94 is then the largest and the oldest supernova remnant known. It provides direct evidence for the release of mechanical energy in the interstellar medium by stars in the outer galaxy. It is argued that such old supernova remnants be found in low-density, low-metallicity environments such as the outer Galaxy, dwarf galaxies and low surface brightness galaxies.

description: The ferroelectric liquid crystal (FLC) shows improvement in electro-optical properties on incorporation of Co-ZnO/ZnO core/shell (CZZ) quantum dots (QDs), which is a manifestation of better alignment for FLC molecules. A suitable amount of core/shell QDs was added into pure FLC and studied using polarising optical microscope, ferroelectric, photoluminescence (PL) and dielectric measurements. Significant increase in the order parameters (θ, PS) and PL intensity with reduced light leakage centres and dielectric loss factor are the consequences of enhanced molecular ordering of FLC molecules dispersed with CZZ QDs. FLC composites with luminescent core/shell QDs are a step forward for the improvement of low power operated highly photoluminescent FLC-based display devices. Such emissive liquid crystal displays would exhibit improved brightness, better contrast, wide viewing angle and lower operating power.
