description: In this paper, we proposed two algorithms (Reverse and Block) to conduct online monitoring against a safety LTL specification via fully homomorphic encryption. We implemented these two algorithms in C++20 and experimentally answered two research questions (RQ1 and RQ2) we posed. This artifact includes a Docker image including our C++20 programs and some scripts for the experiments to replicate our experimental results shown in the paper. It measures execution runtimes to generate monitored ciphertexts, execute our proposed algorithms using the inputs, and decrypt the result. It also has a functionality named plaintext mode, and one can check if the decrypted result is the same as the one executed in plaintext. We note that the runtimes we presented in the paper were obtained on a workstation, and they will differ from the ones on a laptop. In this artifact, we also show the runtimes obtained on our laptop for reference. System requirements to execute this artifact are as follows: CPU: 2 cores and 4 threads or more. It must support AVX2 and AES-NI, i.e., it must be Intel Core i 5000 series or newer, or AMD Ryzen 1000 series or newer.

description: We derive equations for the strongly coupled system of light and dense atomic ensembles. The formalism includes an arbitrary internal level structure for the atoms and is not restricted to weak excitation of atoms by light. In the low light intensity limit for atoms with a single electronic ground state, the full quantum field-theoretical representation of the model can be solved exactly by means of classical stochastic electrodynamics simulations for stationary atoms that represent cold atomic ensembles. Simulations for the optical response of atoms in a quantum degenerate regime require one to synthesize a stochastic ensemble of atomic positions that generates the corresponding quantum statistical position correlations between the atoms. In the case of multiple ground levels or at light intensities where saturation becomes important, the classical simulations require approximations that neglect quantum fluctuations between the levels. We show how the model is extended to incorporate corrections due to quantum fluctuations that result from virtual scattering processes. In the low light intensity limit we illustrate the simulations in a system of atoms in a Mott-insulator state in a 2D optical lattice, where recurrent scattering of light induces strong interatomic correlations. These correlations result in collective many-atom subradiant and superradiant states and a strong dependence of the response on the spatial confinement within the lattice sites.

description: We overview the current status of photometric analyses of images collected with Multi Conjugate Adaptive Optics (MCAO) at 8-10m class telescopes that operated, or are operating, on sky. Particular attention will be payed to resolved stellar population studies. Stars in crowded stellar systems, such as globular clusters or in nearby galaxies, are ideal test particles to test AO performance. We will focus the discussion on photometric precision and accuracy reached nowadays. We briefly describe our project on stellar photometry and astrometry of Galactic globular clusters using images taken with GeMS at the Gemini South telescope. We also present the photometry performed with DAOPHOT suite of programs into the crowded regions of these globulars reaching very faint limiting magnitudes Ks ~21.5 mag on moderately large fields of view (~1.5 arcmin squared). We highlight the need for new algorithms to improve the modeling of the complex variation of the Point Spread Function across the field of view. Finally, we outline the role that large samples of stellar standards plays in providing a detailed description of the MCAO performance and in precise and accurate colour{magnitude diagrams.

Breaking of Goldstone modes in two component Bose-Einstein condensate
Creators: name: Recati, Alessio

Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Quantum Gases (cond-mat.quant-gas)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We study the decay rate $Γ(k)$ of density excitations of two-component Bose-Einstein condensates at zero temperature. Those excitations, where the two components oscillate in phase, include the Goldstone mode resulting from condensation. While within Bogoliubov approximation the density sector and the spin (out-of-phase) sector are independent, they couple at the three-phonon level. For a Bose-Bose mixture we find that the Belyaev decay is slightly modified due to the coupling with the gapless spin mode. At the phase separation point the decay rate changes instead from the standard $k^5$ to a $k^{5/2}$ behaviour due to the parabolic nature of the spin mode. In presence of coherent coupling between the two components the spin sector is gapped and, away from the ferromagnetic-like phase transition point, the decay of density mode is not affected. On the other hand at the transition point, when the spin fluctuations become critical, the Goldstone mode is not well defined anymore since $Γ(k)\propto k$. As a consequence, we show that the friction induced by a moving impurity is enahnced -- a feature which could be experimentally tested. Our results apply to every non-linear 2-component quantum hydrodynamic Hamiltonian which is time-reversal invariant, and possesses an $U(1)\times {\mathbf Z}_2$ symmetry.

description: The economic development and competitiveness of nations are increasingly thought to be underpinned by the growth and dynamism of regional economic hubs. Within the Regional Innovation Systems approach, education institutions such as universities feature prominently as generators of research, innovative technologies and human capital. However, the role of vocational education institutions in development is significantly under-researched. At the postsecondary level in the US, they mainly comprise community colleges and vocational/technical schools. In this study, I sought to uncover the possible contributions of VEIs to regional growth and innovation by conducting a quantitative panel data analysis. Collating publicly-available data from nearly 800 counties between 2010 to 2015, I assessed the suitability of various models for estimating the relationship between the population share of adults with associate’s degrees as their highest education attainment, GDP growth and utility patent generation at the county-level. Results of my exploratory statistical analysis offer weak support to the hypothesis of a positive effect of increasing the population share of vocationally-trained workers on GDP at the county-level, but no significant effect was found on patenting activity. Overall, this study showcases the value of future quantitative research into the channels through which vocational education contribute to regional economic development.

description: The photon detection efficiency of two sets of R10560-100-20 superbialkali photomultiplier tubes from Hamamatsu were measured between 200 nm and 750 nm to quantify a possible degradation of the photocathode sensitivity after four years of operation in the cameras of the VERITAS Cherenkov telescopes. A sample of 20 photomultiplier tubes, which was removed from the telescopes was compared with a sample of 20 spare photomultiplier tubes, which had been kept in storage. It is found that the average photocathode sensitivity marginally increased below 300 nm and dropped by 10% to 30% above 500 nm. The average photocathode sensitivity folded with the Cherenkov spectrum emitted by particles in air showers, however, reveals a consistent detection yield of 18.9+/-0.2% and 19.1+/-0.2% for the sample removed from the telescope and the spare sample, respectively.

description: Igniting cornstarch powder is a classic physics demonstration that showcases the rapid conduction of heat for a material in which the surface area is greater than the volume of its constituent particles. Including such a demonstration in a physics "magic show" for the general public presents certain challenges such as reproducibility and consistent crowd appeal. A simple but effective design for widely scattering cornstarch dust over a flame breaches these challenges and always results in consistently large, crowd-pleasing fireballs; so much so that the resulting demonstration has been dubbed the "cornstarch flamethrower." A small-scale version may also be used effectively for classroom instruction.

Proton heating by pick-up ion driven cyclotron waves in the outer heliosphere: Hybrid expanding box simulations

description: Using one-dimensional hybrid expanding box model we investigate properties of the solar wind in the outer heliosphere. We assume a proton-electron plasma with a strictly transverse ambient magnetic field and, beside the expansion, we take into account influence of a continuous injection of cold pick-up protons through the charge-exchange process between the solar wind protons and hydrogen of interstellar origin. The injected cold pick-up protons form a ring distribution function that rapidly becomes unstable and generate Alfvén cyclotron waves. The Alfvén cyclotron waves scatter pick-up protons to a spherical shell distribution function that thickens over that time owing to the expansion-driven cooling. The Alfven cyclotron waves heat solar wind protons in the perpendicular direction (with respect to the ambient magnetic field) through the cyclotron resonance. At later times, the Alfvén cyclotron waves become parametrically unstable and the generated ion acoustic waves heat protons in the parallel direction through the Landau resonance. The resulting heating of the solar wind protons is efficient on the expansion time scale.

description: A menopausa consiste em um período caracterizado por alterações hormonais, físicas, psicológicas e fisiológicas no corpo de mulheres de meia idade. Assim, em decorrência dessas modificações, o público feminino torna-se palco de diversas fragilidades e comorbidades. OBJETIVO: Descrever as principais consequências da menopausa na qualidade de vida das mulheres. MATERIAIS E MÉTODOS: Trata-se de umarevisão integrativa da literatura, em que foi realizada buscas na Scientific Electronic Library Online (Scielo), utilizando os seguintes descritores em ciências da saúde (DeCS):“Menopausa”, “Menopausa precoce” e “Pós-menopausa”. Assim, foram atribuídos os seguintes critérios de inclusão: artigos completos, provindos do idioma português, disponíveis na íntegra e produzidos no período de 2016 a 2020. Da mesma forma, os critérios de exclusão adotados foram os artigos incompletos, não citáveis, duplicados, que não correspondiam à temática e não atendiam a linha temporal exigida. Desse modo, foram obtidos 1.204 resultados, e posteriormente à adição dos parâmetros inclusivos foram encontrados 77 artigos. Todavia, destaca-se que após a leitura dos títulos resultantes da base de dados da Scielo, apenas 3 estudos foram incluídos na síntese qualitativa final. RESULTADOS E DISCUSSÃO: Com base nos estudos realizados, evidenciou-se que a grande parcela das mulheres acometidas pelo climatério, apresentam agravamento significativo na qualidade de vida, visto que estarão mais expostas às doenças crônicas, entre elas, destacam-se às enfermidades cardiovasculares, que surgem devido às modificações vasculares implicadas pelas alterações hormonais constantes, que corroboram para o maior índice de adoecimento e descompensação fisiológica em seu organismo. CONSIDERAÇÕES FINAIS: Com base nos estudos realizados, ficou nítido que a menopausa predispõe a instabilidade emocional, social, e profissional das mulheres. Nota-se ainda que, podem ocorrer variações nos sintomas do climatério, e por isso, quanto mais intensos, maiores podem ser as consequências em sua qualidade de vida.

description: We implement a robust, globally convergent root search method for transcendental equations guaranteed to locate all complex roots within a specified search domain, based on Cauchy's residue theorem. Although several implementations of the argument principle already exist, ours has several advantages: it allows singularities within the search domain and branch points are not fatal to the method. Furthermore, our implementation is simple and is written in MATLAB, fulfilling the need for an easily integrated implementation which can be readily modified to accommodate the many variations of the argument principle method, each of which is suited to a different application. We apply the method to the step index fiber dispersion relation, which has become topical due to the recent proliferation of high index contrast fibers. We also find modes with permittivity as the eigenvalue, catering to recent numerical methods that expand the radiation of sources by eigenmodes.

description: We perform self-consistent studies of two-dimensional (2D) $s$-wave topological superconductivity (TSC) with Rashba spin-orbit coupling and Zeeman field by solving the Bogoliubov-de Gennes equations. In particular, we examine the effects of a nonmagnetic impurity in detail and show that the nature of the spin-polarised midgap bound state varies significantly depending on the material parameters. Most notably, a nonmagnetic impurity in a 2D $s$-wave topological superconductor can act like a magnetic impurity in a conventional $s$-wave superconductor, leading to phase transitions of the ground state as the impurity potential is varied. Furthermore, by solving for the spin-dependent Hartree potential self-consistently along with the superconducting order parameter, we demonstrate that topological charge density waves can coexist with TSC at half filling just as in a conventional $s$-wave superconductor.

description: We examine a non-reversible, mean-field Potts model with three spins on a set with $N\uparrow\infty$ points. Without an external field, there are three critical temperatures and five different metastable regimes. The analysis can be extended by a perturbative argument to the case of small external fields. We illustrate the case of large external fields with some phenomena which are not present in the absence of external field.

Airy-type evolution equations on star graphs

description: In the present paper the Airy operator on star graphs is defined and studied. The Airy operator is a third order differential operator arising in different contexts, but our main concern is related to its role as the linear part of the Korteweg-de Vries equation, usually studied on a line or a half-line. The first problem treated and solved is its correct definition, with different characterizations, as a skew-adjoint operator on a star graph, a set of lines connecting at a common vertex representing, for example, a network of branching channels. A necessary condition turns out to be that the graph is balanced, i.e. there is the same number of ingoing and outgoing edges at the vertex. The simplest example is that of the line with a point interaction at the vertex. In these cases the Airy dynamics is given by a unitary or isometric (in the real case) group. In particular the analysis provides the complete classification of boundary conditions giving momentum (i.e., $L^2$-norm of the solution) preserving evolution on the graph. A second more general problem here solved is the characterization of conditions under which the Airy operator generates a contraction semigroup. In this case unbalanced star graphs are allowed. In both unitary and contraction dynamics, restrictions on admissible boundary conditions occur if conservation of mass (i.e., integral of the solution) is further imposed. The above well posedness results can be considered preliminary to the analysis of nonlinear wave propagation on branching structures.

description: The design of next generation β-type titanium implants requires detailed knowledge of the relevant stable and metastable phases at temperatures where metallurgical heat treatments can be performed. Recently, a standard specification for surgical implant applications was established for Mo-Ti alloys. However, the thermodynamic properties of this binary system are not well known and two conflicting descriptions of the β-phase stability have been presented in the literature. In this study, we use ab-initio calculations to investigate the Mo-Ti phase diagram. These calculations predict that the β-phase is stable over a wide concentration range, in qualitative agreement with one of the reported phase diagrams. In addition, they predict stoichiometric compounds, stable at temperatures below 3000C, which have not yet been detected by experiments. The resulting solvus, which defines the transition to the β-phase solid solution, therefore occurs at lower temperatures and is more complex than previously anticipated.

description: This paper is concerned with theoretical estimates of the refractive--index curves for quartz, obtained by the Kubo formulæ in the classical approximation, through MD simulations for the motions of the ions. Two objectives are considered. The first one is to understand the role of nonlinearities in situations where they are very large, as at the $α$--$β$ structural phase transition. We show that on the one hand they don't play an essential role in connection with the form of the spectra in the infrared. On the other hand they play an essential role in introducing a chaoticity which involves a definite normal mode. This might explain why that mode is Raman active in the $α$ phase, but not in the $β$ phase. The second objective concerns whether it is possible in a microscopic model to obtain normal mode frequencies, or peak frequencies in the optical spectra, that are in good agreement with the experimental data for quartz. Notwithstanding a lot of effort, we were unable to find results agreeing better than about 6%, as apparently also occurs in the whole available literature. We interpret this fact as indicating that some essential qualitative feature is lacking in all models which consider, as the present one, only short--range repulsive potentials and unretarded long--range electric forces.

description: A brief review is given of some recent works where baryogenesis and dark matter have a common origin within the $U(1)$ extensions of the standard model and of the minimal supersymmetric standard model. The models considered generate the desired baryon asymmetry and the dark matter to baryon ratio. In one model all of the fundamental interactions do not violate lepton number, and the total $B-L$ in the Universe vanishes. In addition, one may also generate a normal hierarchy of neutrino masses and mixings in conformity with the current data. Specifically one can accommodate $θ_{13}\sim 9^{\circ}$ consistent with the data from Daya Bay reactor neutrino experiment.

After shortly describing how the flow becomes turbulent through a sequence of symmetry breaking bifurcations, we focus our study on the transitions that occur within the turbulent regime. They are related to changes in the shape of the probability density function (PDF) of the amplitude of the large scale flow. We discuss the nature of these bifurcations and how to model the shape of the PDF.

description: The observation of objects located in inaccessible regions is a recurring challenge in a wide variety of important applications. Recent work has shown that indirect diffuse light reflections can be used to reconstruct objects and two-dimensional (2D) patterns around a corner. However, these prior methods always require some specialized setup involving either ultrafast detectors or narrowband light sources. Here we show that occluded objects can be tracked in real time using a standard 2D camera and a laser pointer. Unlike previous methods based on the backprojection approach, we formulate the problem in an analysis-by-synthesis sense. By repeatedly simulating light transport through the scene, we determine the set of object parameters that most closely fits the measured intensity distribution. We experimentally demonstrate that this approach is capable of following the translation of unknown objects, and translation and orientation of a known object, in real time.

By deriving the effective model around $Γ$ point, we find that the topological phase transition is driven by a Rashba spin-orbital coupling through an odd number of pairs of band touch because of a small anisotropic gap caused by quintic dispersion terms. In contrast to conventional topological insulators, the spin texture of surface Dirac cone is right-handed and the surface states are strikingly different for different surface terminations.

description: Recently some researchers, (A. Sepehri, S. Shoorvazi, CHIN. PHYS. LETT. Vol. 30, No. 2 (2013)), have considered the effect of Rindler horizon on three jet rate. This paper confirms their results and by comparing usual models with this new model for different energies, shows that regarding Rindler horizon gives us the results which more close to experimental data respect to usual models

description: The structure of interstellar medium can be characterised at large scales in terms of its global statistics (e.g. power spectra) and at small scales by the properties of individual cores. Interest has been increasing in structures at intermediate scales, resulting in a number of methods being developed for the analysis of filamentary structures. We describe the application of the generic template-matching (TM) method to the analysis of maps. Our aim is to show that it provides a fast and still relatively robust way to identify elongated structures or other image features. We present the implementation of a TM algorithm for map analysis. The results are compared against rolling Hough transform (RHT), one of the methods previously used to identify filamentary structures. We illustrate the method by applying it to Herschel surface brightness data. The performance of the TM method is found to be comparable to that of RHT but TM appears to be more robust regarding the input parameters, for example, those related to the selected spatial scales. Small modifications of TM enable one to target structures at different size and intensity levels. In addition to elongated features, we demonstrate the possibility of using TM to also identify other types of structures. The TM method is a viable tool for data quality control, exploratory data analysis, and even quantitative analysis of structures in image data.

description: A natural operational paradigm for distributed quantum and classical information processing involves local operations coordinated by multiple rounds of public communication. In this paper we consider the minimum number of communication rounds needed to perform the locality-constrained task of entanglement transformation and the analogous classical task of secrecy manipulation. Specifically we address whether bipartite mixed entanglement can always be converted into pure entanglement or whether unsecure classical correlations can always be transformed into secret shared randomness using local operations and a bounded number of communication exchanges. Our main contribution in this paper is an explicit construction of quantum and classical state transformations which, for any given $r$, can be achieved using $r$ rounds of classical communication exchanges but no fewer. Our results reveal that highly complex communication protocols are indeed necessary to fully harness the information-theoretic resources contained in general quantum and classical states. The major technical contribution of this manuscript lies in proving lower bounds for the required number of communication exchanges using the notion of common information and various lemmas built upon it. We propose a classical analog to the Schmidt rank of a bipartite quantum state which we call the secrecy rank, and we show that it is a monotone under stochastic local classical operations.

description: We report preliminary results of the complementary experimental and numerical studies on spatiotemporal tangle development and streamwise vortex line density (VLD) distribution in counterflowing $^4$He. The experiment is set up in a long square channel with VLD and local temperature measured in three streamwise locations. In the steady state we observe nearly streamwise-homogeneous VLD. Experimental second sound data as well as numerical data (vortex filament method in a long planar channel starting with seeding vortices localized in multiple locations) show that the initial build up pattern of VLD displays complex features depending on the position in the channel, but the some tangle properties appear uniform along its length.

Low frequency sound attenuation in a flow duct using a thin slow sound material

description: We present a thin subwavelength material that can be flush mounted to a duct and which gives a large wide band attenuation at remarkably low frequencies in air flow channels. To decrease the material thickness, the sound is slowed in the material using folded side branch tubes. The impedance of the material is compared to the optimal value, which differs greatly from the characteristic impedance. In particular, the viscous and thermal effects have to be very small to have high transmission losses. Grazing flow on this material increases the losses at the interface between the flow and the material.

Calculation of x-ray scattering patterns from nanocrystals at high x-ray intensity

description: We present a generalized method to describe the x-ray scattering intensity of the Bragg spots in a diffraction pattern from nanocrystals exposed to intense x-ray pulses. Our method involves the subdivision of a crystal into smaller units. In order to calculate the dynamics within every unit we employ a Monte-Carlo (MC)-molecular dynamics (MD)-ab-initio hybrid framework using real space periodic boundary conditions. By combining all the units we simulate the diffraction pattern of a crystal larger than the transverse x-ray beam profile, a situation commonly encountered in femtosecond nanocrystallography experiments with focused x-ray free-electron laser radiation. Radiation damage is not spatially uniform and depends on the fluence associated with each specific region inside the crystal. To investigate the effects of uniform and non-uniform fluence distribution we have used two different spatial beam profiles, gaussian and flattop.
Applicability of Effective Pair Potentials for Active Brownian Particles

description: We have performed a case study investigating a recently proposed scheme to obtain an effective pair potential for active Brownian particles [Farage et al., Phys. Rev. E 91, 042310 (2015)]. Applying this scheme to the Lennard-Jones potential, numerical simulations of active Brownian particles are compared to simulations of passive Brownian particles interacting by the effective pair potential. Analyzing the static pair correlations, our results indicate a limited range of activity parameters (speed and orientational correlation time) for which we obtain quantitative, or even qualitative, agreement. Moreover, we find a qualitatively different behavior for the virial pressure even for small propulsion speeds. Combining these findings we conclude that beyond linear response active particles exhibit genuine non-equilibrium properties that cannot be captured by effective pair interaction alone.

description: New high-resolution far-infrared (FIR) observations of both ortho- and para-NH3 transitions toward IRC+10216 were obtained with Herschel, with the goal of determining the ammonia abundance and constraining the distribution of NH3 in the envelope of IRC+10216. We used the Heterodyne Instrument for the Far Infrared (HIFI) on board Herschel to observe all rotational transitions up to the J=3 level (three ortho- and six para-NH3 lines). We conducted non-LTE multilevel radiative transfer modelling, including the effects of near-infrared (NIR) radiative pumping through vibrational transitions. We found that NIR pumping is of key importance for understanding the excitation of rotational levels of NH3. The derived NH3 abundances relative to molecular hydrogen were (2.8+-0.5)x10^{-8} for ortho-NH3 and (3.2^{+0.7}_{-0.6})x10^{-8} for para-NH3, consistent with an ortho/para ratio of 1. These values are in a rough agreement with abundances derived from the inversion transitions, as well as with the total abundance of NH3 inferred from the MIR absorption lines. To explain the observed rotational transitions, ammonia must be formed near to the central star at a radius close to the end of the wind acceleration region, but no larger than about 20 stellar radii (1 sigma confidence level).
