description: We consider the fractal dimensions of critical clusters occurring in configurations of a q-state Potts model coupled to the planar random graphs of the dynamical triangulations formulation of Euclidean quantum gravity in two dimensions. For regular lattices, it is well-established that at criticality the properties of Fortuin-Kasteleyn clusters are directly related to the conventional critical exponents, whereas the corresponding properties of the geometric clusters of like spins are not. Recently it has been observed that the latter are related to the critical properties of a tricritical Potts model with the same central charge. We apply the KPZ formalism to develop a related prediction for the case of Potts models coupled to quantum gravity and employ numerical simulation methods to confirm it for the Ising case q=2.

description: Simple classical thermodynamic approach to the general description of metastable states is presented. It makes possible to calculate the explicit dependence of the Gibbs free energy on temperature, to calculate the heat capacity, the thermodynamic barrier, dividing metastable and more stable states, and the thermal expansion coefficient. Thermodynamic stability under mechanical loading is considered. The influence of the heating (cooling) rate on the measured dynamic heat capacity is investigated. A phase shift of the temperature oscillations of an ac heated sample is shown to be determined by the relaxation time of the relaxation of the metastable nonequilibrium state back to the metastable equilibrium one. This dependence allows one to calculate the relaxation time. A general description of the metastable phase equilibrium is proposed. Metastable states in AB3 alloys are considered. Reasons for the change from the diffusional mechanism of the supercritical nucleus growth to the martensitic one as the heating rate increases are discussed. The Ostwald stage rule is derived.

description: Materials with reduced dimensionality often exhibit exceptional properties that are different from their bulk counterparts. Here we report the emergence of a commensurate 2 $\times$ 2 charge density wave (CDW) in monolayer and bilayer SnSe$_2$ films by scanning tunneling microscope. The visualized spatial modulation of CDW phase becomes prominent near the Fermi level, which is pinned inside the semiconductor band gap of SnSe$_2$. We show that both CDW and Fermi level pinning are intimately correlated with band bending and virtual induced gap states at the semiconductor heterointerface. Through interface engineering, the electron-density-dependent phase diagram is established in SnSe$_2$. Fermi surface nesting between symmetry inequivalent electron pockets is revealed to drive the CDW formation and to provide an alternative CDW mechanism that might work in other compounds.

description: We examine the problem of determining which representations of the braid group on a Riemann surface are carried by the wave function of a quantized Abelian Chern-Simons theory interacting with non-dynamical matter. We generalize the quantization of Chern-Simons theory to the case where the coefficient of the Chern-Simons term, k, is rational, the Riemann surface has arbitrary genus and the total matter charge is non-vanishing. We find an explicit solution of the SchrOdinger equation. We find that the wave functions carry a representation of the braid group as well as a projective representation of the discrete group of large gauge transformations. We find a fundamental constraint that relates the charges of the particles, q, the coefficient k and the genus of the manifold, g. We study the non-linear sigma model with a Chern-Simons term. We find the canonical structures of the model using Dirac bracket, accounting for the non-trivial constraints of the sigma-model. We show that solutions to the field equation are represented by solitons. We also recover braid group representations for the low energy limit of soliton exchange.

Subjects: subject: Other Computer Science (cs.OH)

description: We propose a series of methods to represent the evolution of a field of science at different levels: namely micro, meso and macro levels. We use a previously introduced asymmetric measure of paradigmatic proximity between terms that enables us to extract structure from a large publications database. We apply our set of methods on a case study from the complex systems community through the mapping of more than 400 complex systems science concepts indexed from a database as large as several millions of journal papers. We will first summarize the main properties of our asymmetric proximity measure. Then we show how salient paradigmatic fields can be embedded into a 2-dimensional visualization into which the terms are plotted according to their relative specificity and generality index. This meso-level helps us producing macroscopic maps of the field of science studied featuring the former paradigmatic fields.

description: We investigate the nonequilibrium behavior of the d-dimensional Ising model with purely dissipative dynamics during its critical relaxation from a magnetized initial configuration. The universal scaling forms of the two-time response and correlation functions of the magnetization are derived within the field-theoretical approach and the associated scaling functions and fluctuation-dissipation ratio are computed up to first order in the epsilon-expansion. Aging behavior is clearly displayed during the critical relaxation. These results are confirmed by Monte Carlo simulations of the two-dimensional Ising model with Glauber dynamics. The crossover to the case of relaxation from a disordered state is discussed and the crossover function for the fluctuation-dissipation ratio is computed within the Gaussian approximation.

description: For every $p \geq 2$, we obtained an explicit construction of a family of $\mathcal{W}(2,2p-1)$-modules, which decompose as direct sum of simple Virasoro algebra modules. Furthermore, we classified all irreducible self-dual $\mathcal{W}(2,2p-1)$-modules, we described their internal structure, and computed their graded dimensions. In addition, we constructed certain hidden logarithmic intertwining operators among two ordinary and one logarithmic $\mathcal{W}(2,2p-1)$-modules. This work, in particular, gives a mathematically precise formulation and interpretation of what physicists have been referring to as "logarithmic conformal field theory" of central charge $c_{p,1}=1-\frac{6(p-1)^2}{p}, p \geq 2$. Our explicit construction can be easily applied for computations of correlation functions. Techniques from this paper can be used to study the triplet vertex operator algebra $\mathcal{W}(2,(2p-1)^3)$ and other logarithmic models.

How accurate is Poisson-Boltzmann theory for monovalent ions near highly charged interfaces?

description: Surface sensitive synchrotron x-ray scattering studies were performed to obtain the distribution of monovalent ions next to a highly charged interface. A lipid phosphate (dihexadecyl hydrogen-phosphate) was spread as a monolayer at the air-water interface to control surface charge density. Using anomalous reflectivity off and at the $L_3 $ Cs$^{+}$ resonance, we provide spatial counterion (Cs$^{+}$) distributions next to the negatively charged interfaces. Five decades in bulk concentrations are investigated, demonstrating that the interfacial distribution is strongly dependent on bulk concentration. We show that this is due to the strong binding constant of hydronium H$_3$O$^{+}$ to the phosphate group, leading to proton transfer back to the phosphate group and to a reduced surface charge. The increase of Cs$^+$ concentration modifies the contact value potential, thereby causing proton release. This process effectively modifies surface charge density and enables exploration of ion distributions as a function of effective surface charge-density. The experimentally obtained ion distributions are compared to distributions calculated by Poisson-Boltzmann theory accounting for the variation of surface charge density due to proton release and binding. We also discuss the accuracy of our experimental results in discriminating among possible deviations from Poisson-Boltzmann theory.

description: Anticipating the quantity of new associated or affirmed cases with novel coronavirus ailment 2019 (COVID-19) is critical in the counteraction and control of the COVID-19 flare-up. The new associated cases with COVID-19 information were gathered from 20 January 2020 to 21 July 2020. We filtered out the countries which are converging and used those for training the network. We utilized the SARIMAX, Linear regression model to anticipate new suspected COVID-19 cases for the countries which did not converge yet. We predict the curve of non-converged countries with the help of proposed Statistical SARIMAX model (SSM). We present new information investigation-based forecast results that can assist governments with planning their future activities and help clinical administrations to be more ready for what's to come. Our framework can foresee peak corona cases with an R-Squared value of 0.986 utilizing linear regression and fall of this pandemic at various levels for countries like India, US, and Brazil. We found that considering more countries for training degrades the prediction process as constraints vary from nation to nation. Thus, we expect that the outcomes referenced in this work will help individuals to better understand the possibilities of this pandemic.

description: Phenology—the timing of seasonal life-cycle events such as leafout, flowering, fruiting, and senescence—is a critical aspect of plant growth and reproduction. Planning management activities around these stages is important for effective invasive species management. Climate change is likely to shift the timing of plant phenological stages, altering the ideal treatment calendar. Therefore, understanding how climate change shifts a plant’s phenology will improve the timing and efficacy of best management practices. Closer monitoring of environmental cues will help track and predict phenological stages to adjust management accordingly.
Imaging the sun with the Drao synthesis telescope

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2008

description: The Synthesis Telescope at the Dominion Radio Astrophysical Observatory in Penticton, British Columbia, has been modified to make full-disk continuum maps of the Sun at 1420 MHz. The hardware and software systems of the telescope were augmented for this purpose. The standard observing procedure was altered, and image-processing algorithms were written to produce solar images. To reduce the solar signals to an acceptable level for the telescope electronics, 20dB attenuators were introduced in the 1420 MHz receivers. The tracking and fringe-controller software was modified to allow for the motion of the Sun in right ascension. Algorithms were created to remove the effects of declination motion and rotation of the Sun during the observation; these corrections are combined in a user-friendly software package to be run at the data-processing stage. The large field of view (2.6°) and arcminute resolution of the DRAO Synthesis Telescope make it is suitable for producing full-disk solar maps for the purpose of studying the different sources of the slowly-varying (S-) component; the large field allows the entire solar disk to be mapped with high sensitivity. Because of solar variability and rotation, each map had to be made in one day, using one configuration of the antennas. To maximize this sparse u, v coverage, solar "observing" simulations were used to determine the best configurations of the antennas for solar synthesis; these antenna configurations were used in the summer observations of 1992 and 1993. With each 12-hour solar observation, a calibration source, such as 3C48, was observed for half-an-hour. The resulting images, in general, represent both the extended structure (quiet Sun) and the more localized emission (active regions) well. Comparisons between integrated map fluxes, and cotemporal single-antenna flux measurements at 1420 MHz (21 cm-A), indicate that most of the solar brightness distribution was being recovered satisfactorily. The degree to which the solar disk was recovered appears somewhat sensitive to the level and distribution of solar activity. The images have resolutions comparable with other DRAO synthesis maps, and have a dynamic range of about 100:1. A widely-distributed background component, covering large areas of the Sun in anactive latitude belt centered about the equator, is also evident in the solar images; its contribution to the S-component is comparable with that by active regions. Regions of high radio emission in the solar images have a strong spatial correlation with en-hanced magnetic activity in magnetograms; in addition, a linear correlation was found between the total disk magnetic flux and the total radio emission at 21 cm. These results suggest that the majority of the S-component at 21 cm is due to thermal free-free (bremsstrahlung) emission coming from density enhancements in the corona, which are supported by magnetic fields.

description: For a massive spin 1/2 field, we present the reduced spin and helicity density matrix, respectively, for the same pure one particle state. Their relation has also been developed. Furthermore, we calculate and compare the corresponding entanglement entropy for spin and helicity within the same inertial reference frame. Due to the distinct dependence on momentum degree of freedom between spin and helicity states, the resultant helicity entropy is different from that of spin in general. In particular, we find that both helicity entanglement for a spin eigenstate and spin entanglement for a right handed or left handed helicity state do not vanish and their Von Neumann entropy has no dependence on the specific form of momentum distribution as long as it is isotropic.

description: Abstract

The village has a source of income consisting of original village revenue, revenue sharing of regional taxes and regional levies, central and regional financial balance funds, allocation of the State Budget, and financial assistance from Provincial and Regency / City regions, as well as non-binding grants and donations from third parties. However, the problem is that the budget is not enough to finance all village development needs, let alone financial assistance from the Province and Regency / City to the Village is given in accordance with the financial capacity of the Regional Government concerned. If the region has little financial capacity, then the assistance provided is small or even no assistance at all because the condition of the area is not able, so that the acceleration of village development becomes difficult to implement. One of the efforts toimprove village development and development lies in the Optimization of Sources of Income or PAD which is used as a support and driver in the implementation of village government, namely by optimizing the potential of Village-Owned Enterprises (BUMDES) as the main element of increasing village income in Indonesia. Village-Owned Enterprises are business entities whose entire or most capital is owned by the Village through direct participation derived from separated Village wealth to manage assets, services, and other businesses for the maximum welfare of the village community, such as Village market management, Village-scale tourism area management, non-metal mineral mining and rock mining without use heavy equipment, as well as other sources that are not for sale. Therefore, the issues discussed in this article are about the legal basis for the presentation of BUMDES, Types of Businesses and Differences in the Principles of Village-Owned Enterprises and The Legal Politics of The Establishment of Bumdes As One of The Strategies to Improve the Quality of Life of Indonesian People in Villages.

description: Local quasiparticle states around impurities provide essential insight into the mechanism of unconventional superconductivity, especially when the candidate materials are proximate to an antiferromagnetic Mott-insulating phase. While such states have been reported in atom-based cuprates and iron-based compounds, they are unexplored in organic superconductors which feature tunable molecular orientation. Here we employ scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy to reveal multiple forms of robustness of an exotic $s$-wave superconductivity in epitaxial Rb$_3$C$_{60}$ films against merohedral disorder, non-magnetic single impurities and step edges at the atomic scale. Also observed have been Yu-Shiba-Rusinov (YSR) states induced by deliberately incurred Fe adatoms that act as magnetic scatters. The bound states display abrupt spatial decay and vary in energy with the Fe adatom registry. Our results and the universal optimal superconductivity at half-filling point towards local electron pairing in which the multiorbital electronic correlations and intramolecular phonons together drive the high-temperature superconductivity of doped fullerenes.

description: The three-input TOFFOLI gate is the workhorse of circuit synthesis for classical logic operations on quantum data, e.g., reversible arithmetic circuits. In physical implementations, however, TOFFOLI gates are decomposed into six CNOT gates and several one-qubit gates. Though this decomposition has been known for at least 10 years, we provide here the first demonstration of its CNOT-optimality. We study three-qubit circuits which contain less than six CNOT gates and implement a block-diagonal operator, then show that they implicitly describe the cosine-sine decomposition of a related operator. Leveraging the canonicity of such decompositions to limit one-qubit gates appearing in respective circuits, we prove that the n-qubit analogue of the TOFFOLI requires at least 2n CNOT gates. Additionally, our results offer a complete classification of three-qubit diagonal operators by their CNOT-cost, which holds even if ancilla qubits are available.

description: Sanda is a popular sport in the world and is growing in popularity worldwide, but the pre-competition weight loss (WL) practice of Sanda athletes is poorly studied. The aim of this study was to investigate the pre-competition WL practice of Chinese Sanda athletes. One hundred sixty-nine (96 males, 73 females) national and international level Sanda athletes completed the Rapid WL Questionnaire (RWLQ). Participants were categorized by gender (male, female), age (junior, senior), competition weight categories, and competitive levels (national, international). About half (56%) of athletes purposefully implemented WL practice pre-competition. Their mean habitual WL was 7.6 ± 3.7 % and the highest WL was 10.8 ± 4.2 %. Participants usually allocate 15+ days pre-competition for WL (64 %), followed by 11-14 days (21 %), 8-10 days (5 %), 6-7 days (4 %), 4-5 days (4 %), 1-3 days (1 %). The athlete’s rapid WL score (RWLS) was 30.4 ± 6.4. There were no significant differences in habitual WL %, highest WL %, and RWLS between age groups (p=0.607, p=0.791, p=0.685), between competitive levels (p=0.229, p=0.134, p=0.736) and across weight categories (p=0.585, p=0.106, p=0.395). There were no significant differences in habitual WL % across allocated WL time (p=0.135). However, male’s habitual WL %, highest WL %, and RWLS were significantly higher than female (p=0.023, p=0.008, p=0.011). International athletes implemented more times of WL per year than national athletes (p=0.027). The participants’ highest WL % was significantly higher than their habitual WL % (p< 0.001). Increased exercise and training in plastic suits were the most frequently used WL methods. Coach was considered the person who has the greatest influence on athlete WL practice. This study found significant gender differences in the WL practices of Chinese Sanda athletes, without differences in competition levels, weight categories, and age groups.

description: Using Chandra X-ray observations and optical imaging and spectroscopy of a flux-limited sample of 5 fossil groups, supplemented by additional systems from the literature, we provide the first detailed study of the scaling properties of fossils compared to normal groups and clusters. In general, all the fossils we study show regular and symmetric X-ray emission, indicating an absence of recent major group mergers. We confirm that, for a given optical luminosity of the group, fossils are more X-ray luminous than non-fossil groups. Fossils, however, fall comfortably on the conventional L_X-T_X relation of galaxy groups and clusters, suggesting that their X-ray luminosity and their gas temperature are both boosted, arguably, as a result of their early formation. This is supported by other scaling relations including the L_X-sigma and T_X-sigma relations in which fossils show higher X-ray luminosity and temperature for a given group velocity dispersion. We find that mass concentration in fossils is higher than in non-fossil groups and clusters. In addition, the M_X-T_X relation suggests that fossils are hotter, for a given total gravitational mass, both consistent with an early formation epoch for fossils. We show that the mass-to-light ratio in fossils is rather high but not exceptional, compared to galaxy groups and clusters. The entropy of the gas in low mass fossils appears to be systematically lower than that in normal groups, which may explain why the properties of fossils are more consistent with an extension of cluster properties. We conclude that the cuspy potential raises the luminosity and temperature of the IGM in fossils. However, this works in conjunction with lower gas entropy, which may arise from less effective preheating of the gas.

description: Despite numerous attempts have been made to discover the optimal release conditions for the accurate basketball throws (Tran & Silverberg, 2008), no conclusion can be made due to the complicated interrelation among release parameters, and indefinite configurations of speed, angle, and height at ball release exist to determine the accurate shots. Six male participants participated in a study that required them to perform free throws and 3-point throws continuously at top of the key in a random order, until 10 “swish” shots and 10 “missed” shots were achieved. The ball motion in the sagittal plane was recorded by a GoPro camera in each trial, which were subsequently 2D-tracked to recover the release speed (RS), release angle (RA), and release height (RH) for each shot. A 2-way repeated measure ANOVA was performed on RS, RA, and RH, as well as on the coefficient of variance of them (RScv, RAcv, and RHcv) to examine the effects of distance and accuracy. The results showed that the mean RS and RH were significantly greater for 3-point throws than those for free throws (F1,5 = 1074.93, p<.001, F1,5 = 9.86, p<0.05), however, neither release parameters showed a significant mean difference for accuracy. While the mean RScv remained unchanged with distance and accuracy, RHcv for 3-point throws was greater than that for free throws (F1,5 = 7.51, p<0.05), and the mean RAcv demonstrated a promising interaction between distance and accuracy (F1,5 = 4.11, p=0.09, h2=0.45). The findings suggested that the variability, rather than the fixed value, of release parameters may account for the accuracy of basketball throws, which is conforming to the “solution manifold” strategy proposed by Nakano et al. (2020).

description: Quantifying and verifying the control level in preparing a quantum state are central challenges in building quantum devices. The quantum state is characterized from experimental measurements, using a procedure known as tomography, which requires a vast number of resources. Furthermore, the tomography for a quantum device with temporal processing, which is fundamentally different from the standard tomography, has not been formulated. We develop a practical and approximate tomography method using a recurrent machine learning framework for this intriguing situation. The method is based on repeated quantum interactions between a system called quantum reservoir with a stream of quantum states. Measurement data from the reservoir are connected to a linear readout to train a recurrent relation between quantum channels applied to the input stream. We demonstrate our algorithms for quantum learning tasks followed by the proposal of a quantum short-term memory capacity to evaluate the temporal processing ability of near-term quantum devices.

description: A quantum field-theoretical model which describes spatially non-homogeneous one-dimensional non-relativistic repulsive Bose gas in an external harmonic potential is considered. We calculate the two-point thermal correlation function of the Bose gas in the framework of the functional integration approach. The calculations are done in the coordinate representation. A method of successive integration over the ``high-energy'' functional variables first and then over the ``low-energy'' ones is used. The effective action functional for the low-energy variables is calculated in one loop approximation. The functional integral representation for the correlation function is obtained in terms of the low-energy variables, and is estimated by means of the stationary phase approximation. The asymptotics of the correlation function is studied in the limit when the temperature is going to zero while the volume occupied by non-homogeneous Bose gas infinitely increases. It is demonstrated that the behaviour of the thermal correlation function in the limit described is power-like, and it is governed by the critical exponent which depends on the spatial and thermal arguments.

description: Abstract This study explores the effectiveness of super-slow (SS) resistance training (RT) in improving motor unit recruitment and lower limb function in older adults with sarcopenia. It focuses on reducing session training time (12 minutes) by increasing the time under tension for one repetition (15 seconds). Method: Thirty-nine participants (age 70.21±5.51) were divided into SS1 (eccentric-5s and concentric-10s, 5/0/10/0), SS2 (10/0/5/0) and natural-speed (NS,1-2/0/1-2/0) RT groups, undergoing twice-weekly sessions for 12 weeks (30%-40%1RM to 70%-80%1RM). Average electromyography (aEMG) and integrated electromyography (iEMG) were tested pre- and post-intervention using the Italian BTS surface electromyography system. The muscles tested included bilaterally rectus femoris muscle (RF), bilaterally vastus medialis femoris muscle (VM), bilaterally vastus lateral femoris muscle (VL), and bilaterally biceps femoris long head (BCL). Lower limb function was assessed through gait speed (GS), time up-and-go (TUGT), 30-second sit-to-stand (STS), and 5-time sit-to-stand (FTSST) tests.

description: Commercially available low-cost particulate matter (PM) sensors provide output as total or size-specific particle counts and mass concentrations. These quantities are not measured directly but are estimated by the original equipment manufacturers' (OEM) proprietary algorithms and have inherent limitations since particle scattering depends on their composition, size, shape, and complex index of refraction (CRI). Hence, there is a need to characterize and calibrate their performance under a controlled environment. We present calibration algorithms for Plantower PMS A003 sensor as a function of particle size and concentration. A standardized experimental protocol was used to control the PM level, environmental conditions and to evaluate sensor-to-sensor reproducibility. The calibration was based on tests when PMS A003 were exposed to different polydisperse standardized testing aerosols. The results suggested particle size distribution from PMS A003 was shifted compared to reference instrument measures. For calibration of number concentration, linear model without adjusting aerosol properties corrects the raw PMS A003 measurement for specific size bins with normalized mean absolute error within 4.0% of the reference instrument. Although the Bayesian Information Criterion suggests that models adjusting for particle optical properties and relative humidity are technically superior, they should be used with caution as the particle properties used in fitting were within a narrow range for challenge aerosols. The calibration models adjusted for particle CRI and density account for non-linearity in the OEM's mass concentrations estimates and demonstrated lower error. These results have significant implications for using PMS A003 in high concentration environments, including indoor air quality and occupational/industrial exposure assessments, wildfire smoke, or near-source monitoring scenarios.

description: The transnational mobility of naturalized athletes has become a global issue as sports globalization continues, sparking discussions about naturalized athletes’ cultural identity and sense of belonging. Utilizing the three-level news framework theory, this study analyzes the themes, discourse structure, and rhetoric in media coverage of Kyle Anderson, the first-ever naturalized athlete in Chinese basketball history. Additionally, it uses social network analysis to explore key terminologies used by the media and their relationships, shedding light on how Chinese mainstream media construct Kyle Anderson’s cultural image and the values they convey. This study finds that Chinese mainstream media have transformed Kyle Anderson’s image from an individual athlete to a national symbol by emphasizing “family” and integrating sportsmanship with traditional culture. Furthermore, the media’s focus on national identity and cultural integration highlights the role of family in cultural transmission. However, this research identifies issues of uneven media coverage, superficial reporting, and limited scope. In this case, it is recommended that media coverage be intensified during non-competitive periods and diversified with in-depth features and interviews to present a more nuanced portrayal of naturalized athletes. Moreover, the media should broaden the scope of coverage to integrate naturalized athletes’ cultural image into a broader social context, fostering a more comprehensive understanding of their identities in the age of sports globalization.
