description: Maxwell's boundary conditions (MBCs) were long known insufficient to determine the optical responses of spatially dispersive medium. Supplementing MBCs with additional boundary conditions (ABCs) has become a normal yet controversial practice. Here the problem of ABCs is solved by analyzing some subtle aspects of a physical surface. A generic theory is presented for handling the interaction of light with the surfaces of an arbitrary medium and applied to study the traditional problem of exciton polaritons. We show that ABCs can always be adjusted to fit the theory but they can by no means be construed as intrinsic surface characteristics, which are instead captured by a \textit{surface response function} (SRF). Unlike any ABCs, a SRF describes essentially non-local boundary effects. Methods for experimentally extracting the spatial profile of this function are proposed.

description: WASP-80 is one of only two systems known to contain a hot Jupiter which transits its M-dwarf host star. We present eight light curves of one transit event, obtained simultaneously using two defocussed telescopes. These data were taken through the Bessell I, Sloan griz and near-infrared JHK passbands. We use our data to search for opacity-induced changes in the planetary radius, but find that all values agree with each other. Our data are therefore consistent with a flat transmission spectrum to within the observational uncertainties. We also measure an activity index of the host star of log R'_HK=-4.495, meaning that WASP-80A shows strong chromospheric activity. The non-detection of starspots implies that, if they exist, they must be small and symmetrically distributed on the stellar surface. We model all available optical transit light curves to obtain improved physical properties and orbital ephemerides for the system.

Year: 2001

description: Spacially explicit identification of changes in ecological conditions over large areas is key to targeting and prioritizing areas for environmental protection and restoration by managers at watershed, basin and regional scales. A critical limitation to this point has been the development of methods to conduct such broad-scale assessments. This study  demonstrates the application of spacially distributed models for bird habitat quality and nitrogen yield to streams to assess the consequences of landcover change across the Mid-Atlantic Region between the 1970s and 1990s. It also presents a way to evaluate spacial concordance between models related to different environmental endpoints. Results of this study should help environmental managers in the Mid-Atlantic Region target those areas in need of conservation and protection.

description: We present simple expressions for the relativistic first and second order fractional density perturbations for FL cosmologies with dust, in four different gauges: the Poisson, uniform curvature, total matter and synchronous gauges. We include a cosmological constant and arbitrary spatial curvature in the background. A distinctive feature of our approach is our description of the spatial dependence of the perturbations using a canonical set of quadratic differential expressions involving an arbitrary spatial function that arises as a conserved quantity. This enables us to unify, simplify and extend previous seemingly disparate results. We use the primordial matter and metric perturbations that emerge at the end of the inflationary epoch to determine the additional arbitrary spatial function that arises when integrating the second order perturbation equations. This introduces a non-Gaussianity parameter into the expressions for the second order density perturbation. In the special case of zero spatial curvature we show that the time evolution simplifies significantly, and requires the use of only two non-elementary functions, the so-called growth supression factor at the linear level, and one new function at the second order level. We expect that the results will be useful in applications, for example, studying the effects of primordial non-Gaussianity on the large scale structure of the universe.

description: Silica gardens are extraordinary plant-like structures resulting from the complex interplay of relatively simple inorganic components. Recent work has highlighted that macroscopic self-assembly is accompanied by the spontaneous formation of considerable chemical gradients, which induce a cascade of coupled dissolution, diffusion, and precipitation processes occurring over timescales as long as several days. In the present study, this dynamic behavior was investigated for silica gardens based on iron and cobalt chloride by means of two synchrotron- based techniques, which allow the determination of concentration profiles and time-resolved monitoring of diffraction patterns, thus giving direct insight into the progress of dissolution and crystallization phenomena in the system. On the basis of the collected data, a kinetic model is proposed to describe the relevant reactions on a fundamental physicochemical level. The results show that the choice of the metal cations (as well as their counterions) is crucial for the development of silica gardens in both the short and long term (i. e. during tube formation and upon subsequent slow equilibration), and provide important clues for understanding the properties of related structures in geochemical and industrial environments.

description: It has been recently discovered that some random processes may satisfy limit theorems even though they exhibit intermittency, namely an unusual growth of moments. In this paper we provide a deeper understanding of these intricate limiting phenomena. We show that intermittent processes may exhibit a multiscale behavior involving growth at different rates. To these rates correspond different scales. In addition to a dominant scale, intermittent processes may exhibit secondary scales. The probability of these scales decreases to zero as a power function of time. For the analysis, we consider large deviations of the rate of growth of the processes. Our approach is quite general and covers different possible scenarios with special focus on the so-called supOU processes.

description: Bligh and Dyer (B & D) or Folch procedures for the extraction and separation of lipids from microorganisms and biological tissues using chloroform/methanol/water have been used tens of thousands of times and are "gold standards" for the analysis of extracted lipids. Based on the Conductor-like Screening MOdel for realistic Solvatation (COSMO-RS), we select ethanol and ethyl acetate as being potentially suitable for the substitution of methanol and chloroform. We confirm this by performing solid-liquid extraction of yeast (Yarrowia lipolytica IFP29) and subsequent liquid-liquid partition-the two steps of routine extraction. For this purpose, we consider similar points in the ternary phase diagrams of water/methanol/chloroform and water/ethanol/ethyl acetate, both in the monophasic mixtures and in the liquid-liquid miscibility gap. Based on high performance thin-layer chromatography (HPTLC) to obtain the distribution of lipids classes, and gas chromatography coupled with a flame ionisation detector (GC/FID) to obtain fatty acid profiles, this greener solvents pair is found to be almost as effective as the classic methanol-chloroform couple in terms of efficiency and selectivity of lipids and non-lipid material. Moreover, using these bio-sourced solvents as an alternative system is shown to be as effective as the classical system in terms of the yield of lipids extracted from microorganism tissues, independently of their apparent hydrophilicity.

description: The ER = EPR correspondence relates a superposition of entangled, disconnected spacetimes to a connected spacetime with an Einstein-Rosen bridge. We construct examples in which both sides may be described by weakly-coupled string theory. The relation between them is given by a Lorentzian continuation of the FZZ duality of the two-dimensional Euclidean black hole CFT in one example, and in another example by continuation of a similar duality that we propose for the asymptotic Euclidean AdS3 black hole. This gives a microscopic understanding of ER = EPR: one has a worldsheet duality between string theory in a connected, eternal black hole, and in a superposition of disconnected geometries in an entangled state. The disconnected description includes a condensate of entangled folded strings emanating from a strong-coupling region in place of a horizon. Our construction relies on a Lorentzian interpretation of Euclidean time winding operators via angular quantization, as well as some lesser known worldsheet string theories, such as perturbation theory around a thermofield-double state, which we define using Schwinger-Keldysh contours in target space.

description: We investigate a Z3 symmetric model with two-loop radiative neutrino masses. Dark matter in the model is either a Dirac fermion or a complex scalar as a result of an unbroken Z3 symmetry. In addition to standard annihilation processes, semi-annihilation of the dark matter contributes to the relic density. We study the effect of the semi-annihilation in the model and and that those contributions are important to obtain the observed relic density. The experimental signatures in dark matter searches are also discussed, where some of them are expected to be different from the signatures of dark matter in Z2 symmetric models.

THE EVALUATIVE CHAMELEON: THE VALANCE OF OBSERVED ACTION OUTCOMES DETERMINES AUTOMATIC IMITATION

description: Humans have a tendency to imitate the actions they observe in others, a process assumed to rely on an automatic bottom-up mapping of observed action features to one’s own motor system. In contrast, imitation in children is goal-directed, aimed at achieving the same outcome as the model. This thesis examines whether such an outcome-dependence can also be observed in automatic imitation. In six experiments, participants watched an actor make movements after observing the same movements and evaluated the valence of these outcomes with either compatible or incompatible responses. Chapter 2 showed that automatic imitation depends on action outcomes and showed that it is (1) independent from the visual perspective from which the action was observed, but (2) does require identification with the model. Chapter 3 showed that this outcome-dependency is observed in observations of human interactions but not when this element is replaced with non-human stimuli. In chapter 4, 2 experiments in which, the participants’ own action kinematics were measured in an alternating reaching task firstly replicated the well-known sIOR effect such that participants were slower to reach to the same target as the previous player. In contrast to other studies on this effect these experiments revealed tentative evidence that the effect depended upon whether the kinematics required to produce the response bore a similarity to the kinematics of the action one has just observed. Together, the findings in this thesis reveal that imitation cannot simply be attributed to a simple bottom-up matching of observed actions to one’s own action repertoires. Instead, similar to goal directed imitation in children, automatic imitation may be guided by hierarchical action-outcome representations that are dynamically established when watching others act.

Middle-level Fusion for Lightweight RGB-D Salient Object Detection

description: Most existing lightweight RGB-D salient object detection (SOD) models are based on two-stream structure or single-stream structure. The former one first uses two sub-networks to extract unimodal features from RGB and depth images, respectively, and then fuses them for SOD. While, the latter one directly extracts multi-modal features from the input RGB-D images and then focuses on exploiting cross-level complementary information. However, two-stream structure based models inevitably require more parameters and single-stream structure based ones cannot well exploit the cross-modal complementary information since they ignore the modality difference. To address these issues, we propose to employ the middle-level fusion structure for designing lightweight RGB-D SOD model in this paper, which first employs two sub-networks to extract low- and middle-level unimodal features, respectively, and then fuses those extracted middle-level unimodal features for extracting corresponding high-level multi-modal features in the subsequent sub-network. Different from existing models, this structure can effectively exploit the cross-modal complementary information and significantly reduce the network's parameters, simultaneously. Therefore, a novel lightweight SOD model is designed, which contains a information-aware multi-modal feature fusion (IMFF) module for effectively capturing the cross-modal complementary information and a lightweight feature-level and decision-level feature fusion (LFDF) module for aggregating the feature-level and the decision-level saliency information in different stages with less parameters. Our proposed model has only 3.9M parameters and runs at 33 FPS. The experimental results on several benchmark datasets verify the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed method over some state-of-the-art methods.

description: Although the overall time-scale for nuclear fission is long, suggesting a slow process, rapid shape evolution occurs in its later stages near scission. Theoretical prediction of the fission fragments and their characteristics are often based on the assumption that the internal degrees of freedom are equilibrated along the fission path. However, this adiabatic approximation may break down near scission. This is studied for the symmetric fission of $^{258,264}$Fm. The non-adiabatic evolution is computed using the time-dependent Hartree-Fock method, starting from an adiabatic configuration where the fragments have acquired their identity. It is shown that dynamics has an important effect on the kinetic and excitation energies of the fragments. The vibrational modes of the fragments in the post-scission evolution are also analyzed.

description: We address the fundamental question how the spatial Kondo correlations are building up in time assuming an initially decoupled impurity spin $\vec{S}_{\rm imp}$. We investigate the time-dependent spin-correlation function $χ(\vec{r},t) = \langle \vec{S}_\mathrm{imp} \vec{s}(\vec{r}) \rangle (t)$ in the Kondo model with antiferromagnetic and ferromagnetic couplings where $ \vec{s}(\vec{r})$ denotes the spin density of the conduction electrons after switching on the Kondo coupling at time $t=0$. We present data obtained from a time-dependent numerical renormalisation group (TD-NRG) calculation. We gauge the accuracy of our two-band NRG by the spatial sum-rules of the equilibrium correlation functions and the reproduction of the analytically exactly known spin-correlation function of the decoupled Fermi sea. We find a remarkable building up of Kondo-correlation outside of the light cone defined by the Fermi velocity of the host metal. By employing a perturbative approach exact in second-order of the Kondo coupling, we connect these surprising correlations to the intrinsic spin-density entanglement of the Fermi sea. The thermal wave length supplies a cutoff scale at finite temperatures beyond which correlations are exponentially suppressed. We present data for the frequency dependent retarded spin-spin susceptibility and use the results to calculate the real-time response of a weak perturbation in linear response: within the spatial resolution no response outside of the light cone is found.

description: We study the Standard Model (SM) in Weyl conformal geometry. This embedding is natural and truly minimal {\it with no new fields} required beyond the SM spectrum and Weyl geometry. The action inherits a gauged scale symmetry $D(1)$ (known as Weyl gauge symmetry) from the underlying geometry. The associated Weyl quadratic gravity undergoes spontaneous breaking of $D(1)$ by a geometric Stueckelberg mechanism in which the Weyl gauge field ($ω_μ$) acquires mass by "absorbing" the spin-zero mode ($ϕ_0$) of the $\tilde R^2$ term in the action. This mode also generates the Planck scale and the cosmological constant. The Einstein-Proca action of $ω_μ$ emerges in the broken phase. In the presence of the SM, this mechanism receives corrections (from the Higgs) and it can induce electroweak (EW) symmetry breaking. The EW scale is proportional to the vev of the Stueckelberg field ($ϕ_0$). The Higgs field ($σ$) has direct couplings to the Weyl gauge field, and its mass may be protected at quantum level by the D(1) symmetry. The SM fermions can acquire couplings to $ω_μ$ only in the special case of a non-vanishing kinetic mixing of the gauge fields of $D(1)\times U(1)_Y$. If this mixing is indeed present, part of $Z$ boson mass is not due to the Higgs mechanism, but to its mixing with massive $ω_μ$. Precision measurements of $Z$ mass then set lower bounds on the mass of $ω_μ$ which can be light (few TeV). In the early Universe the Higgs field can have a {\it geometric} origin, by Weyl vector fusion, and the Stueckelberg-Higgs potential can drive inflation. The dependence of the tensor-to-scalar ratio $r$ on the spectral index $n_s$ is similar to that in Starobinsky inflation but shifted to lower $r$ by the Higgs non-minimal coupling to Weyl geometry.

description: We investigate the Hubbard model on the anisotropic triangular lattice with two hopping parameters $t$ and $t^\prime$ in different spatial directions, interpolating between decoupled chains ($t=0$) and the isotropic triangular lattice ($t=t^\prime$). Variational wave functions that include both Jastrow and backflow terms are used to compare spin-liquid and magnetic phases with different pitch vectors describing both collinear and coplanar (spiral) order. For relatively large values of the on-site interaction $U/t^\prime \gtrsim 10$ and substantial frustration, i.e., $0.3\lesssim t/t^\prime \lesssim 0.8$, the spin-liquid state is clearly favored over magnetic states. Spiral magnetic order is only stable in the vicinity of the isotropic point, while collinear order is obtained in a wide range of inter-chain hoppings from small to intermediate frustration.

description: The Israel-Palestine conflict constitutes one of the longest standing conflicts in modern times. Its continuation has often been attributed to the very nature of the conflict: two peoples pursuing an incompatible goal-ownership of the same piece of land. Violence has constituted a characteristic feature of this struggle, widely employed by the two peoples. The analysis of violence, however, has often been limited to acts of direct and physical violence that can be attributed to an individual subject. This thesis investigates violence in the conflict going beyond this traditional conceptualisation of violence. It employs Johan Galtung’s conceptual and theoretical framework, in which he identifies three types of violence: direct, structural and cultural. This thesis argues that all three types of violence are symbiotic in nature. The underlying assumption in this thesis is simple: violence breeds violence. Thus, in order to understand the persistence of the conflict, it is essential to analyse all three types of violence. The thesis proposes the hypothesis that the continuing failure to address all forms of violence, as well as omitting or minimising the importance of any of them, prevents the possibility of resolving the conflict, and thus has contributed to the protraction of the conflict. In order to examine this assumption empirically, the thesis investigates the violence in the conflict, concentrating on the Israeli barrier. The study poses two central research questions. The first asks what led to the construction of the barrier. The second asks why the barrier remains, and the Israeli occupation continues. The answers to the research questions and the account of violence have been the subjects of two contrasting narratives: Israeli and Palestinian. In order to provide both Israeli and Palestinian contributions to these questions, the thesis is divided into two accounts: Palestinian narrative and Israeli narrative. The empirical analysis of violence in the conflict, embedded in the theoretical framework of Galtung's conceptualisation of violence, and divided into the two narratives, reveals a complex cycle of violence in the conflict. It demonstrates the interconnection between the three types of violence and shows the impact of the violence on the intractability of the Israel-Palestine conflict.

description: We consider a sequence of fractional Ornstein-Uhlenbeck processes, that are defined as solutions of a family of stochastic Volterra equations with kernel given by the Riesz derivative kernel, and leading coefficients given by a sequence of independent Gamma random variables. We construct a new process by taking the empirical mean of this sequence. In our framework, the processes involved are not Markovian, hence the analysis of their asymptotic behaviour requires some ad hoc construction. In our main result, we prove the almost sure convergence in the space of trajectories of the empirical means to a given Gaussian process, which we characterize completely.

description: In this article we give sufficient and necessary conditions for the existence of a weak and mild solution to stochastic evolution equations with (general) Lévy noise taking values in the dual of a nuclear space. As part of our approach we develop a theory of stochastic integration with respect to a Lévy process taking values in the dual of a nuclear space. We also derive further properties of the solution such as the existence of a solution with square moments, the Markov property and path regularity of the solution. In the final part of the paper we give sufficient conditions for the weak convergence of the solutions to a sequence of stochastic evolution equations with Lévy noises.

description: Phase-field modeling -- a continuous approach to discontinuities -- is gaining popularity for simulating rock fractures due to its ability to handle complex, discontinuous geometry without an explicit surface tracking algorithm. None of the existing phase-field models, however, incorporates the impact of surface roughness on the mechanical response of fractures -- such as elastic deformability and shear-induced dilation -- despite the importance of this behavior for subsurface systems. To fill this gap, here we introduce the first framework for phase-field modeling of rough rock fractures. The framework transforms a displacement-jump-based discrete constitutive model for discontinuities into a strain-based continuous model, without any additional parameter, and then casts it into a phase-field formulation for frictional interfaces. We illustrate the framework by constructing a particular phase-field form employing a rock joint model originally formulated for discrete modeling. The results obtained by the new formulation show excellent agreement with those of a well-established discrete method for a variety of problems ranging from shearing of a single discontinuity to compression of fractured rocks. It is further demonstrated that the phase-field formulation can well simulate complex crack growth from rough discontinuities. Consequently, our phase-field framework provides an unprecedented bridge between a discrete constitutive model for rough discontinuities -- common in rock mechanics -- and the continuous finite element method -- standard in computational mechanics -- without any algorithm to explicitly represent discontinuity geometry.

description: Inorganic sulfur-oxidising Bacteria are present throughout the Proteobacteria and inhabit all environments of Earth. Despite these facts they are still poorly understood in terms of taxonomy, physiology, biochemistry and genetics. Using phylogenetic and chemotaxonomic analysis two species that were erroneously classified as Thiobacillus trautweinii spp. in 1921 and 1934 are in fact novel chemolithoheterotrophic species for which the names Pseudomonas trautweiniana sp. nov. and Achromobacter starkeyanus sp. nov. are proposed, respectively. These species were found to oxidise thiosulfate in a “fortuitous” manor when grown in continuous culture and increases in maximum theoretical growth yield (YMAX) and maximum specific growth rate (μMAX) were observed. Cytochrome c linked thiosulfate-dependent ATP production was confirmed in both species, confirming “true” chemolithoheterotrophy. Evidence is presented that the ATP concentration governs the benefits of chemolithoheterotrophy. There were significant changes in enzyme activities, including enzymes of the TCA cycle that might be affecting amino acid synthesis. This is strong evidence that chemolithoheterotrophy gives a strong physiological boost and evolutionary advantage over strictly heterotrophic species. An autotrophic species that was historically placed in Thiobacillus was also shown to be a novel species for which the name Thermithiobacillus parkerianus sp. nov. is proposed. The enzyme profiles of Thermithiobacillus parkerianus differed significantly between different inorganic sulfur growth substrates and was the first time all TCA cycle enzymes were assayed in a member of the Acidithiobacillia. The properties of thiosulfate dehydrogenase varied significantly between Pseudomonas sp. Strain T, Achromobacter sp. Strain B and Thermithiobacillus sp. ParkerM both in terms of optimal parameters and the effect of inhibitors. This evidence adds to the increasing body of work indicating there to be at least two thiosulfate dehydrogenases present in the Bacteria.

description: Strings at T ~ T_c are known to be subject to the so-called Hagedorn phenomenon, in which a string's entropy (times T) and energy cancel each other and result in the evolution of the string into highly excited states, or "string balls". Intrinsic attractive interaction of strings -- gravitational for fundamental strings or in the context of holographic models of the AdS/QCD type, or sigma exchanges for QCD strings -- can significantly modify properties of the string balls. If heavy enough, those start approaching properties of the black holes. We generate self-interacting string balls numerically, in a thermal string lattice model. We found that in a certain range of the interaction coupling constants they morph into a new phase, the "entropy-rich" string balls. These objects can appear in the so-called mixed phase of hadronic matter, produced in heavy ion collisions, as well as possibly in the high multiplicity proton-proton or proton-nucleus collisions. Among discussed applications are jet quenching in the mixed phase and also the study of angular deformations of the string balls.
