description: Spectral algorithms, such as principal component analysis and spectral clustering, typically require careful data transformations to be effective: upon observing a matrix $A$, one may look at the spectrum of $ψ(A)$ for a properly chosen $ψ$. The issue is that the spectrum of $A$ might be contaminated by non-informational top eigenvalues, e.g., due to scale` variations in the data, and the application of $ψ$ aims to remove these. Designing a good functional $ψ$ (and establishing what good means) is often challenging and model dependent. This paper proposes a simple and generic construction for sparse graphs, $$ψ(A) = \1((I+A)^r \ge1),$$ where $A$ denotes the adjacency matrix and $r$ is an integer (less than the graph diameter). This produces a graph connecting vertices from the original graph that are within distance $r$, and is referred to as graph powering. It is shown that graph powering regularizes the graph and decontaminates its spectrum in the following sense: (i) If the graph is drawn from the sparse Erdős-Rényi ensemble, which has no spectral gap, it is shown that graph powering produces a `maximal' spectral gap, with the latter justified by establishing an Alon-Boppana result for powered graphs; (ii) If the graph is drawn from the sparse SBM, graph powering is shown to achieve the fundamental limit for weak recovery (the KS threshold) similarly to \cite{massoulie-STOC}, settling an open problem therein. Further, graph powering is shown to be significantly more robust to tangles and cliques than previous spectral algorithms based on self-avoiding or nonbacktracking walk counts \cite{massoulie-STOC,Mossel_SBM2,bordenave,colin3}. This is illustrated on a geometric block model that is dense in cliques.
Measurement of the Top Quark Mass with the Collider Detector at Fermilab

description: This report describes a measurement of the top quark mass in $\ppbar$ collisions at a center of mass energy of 1.8 TeV. The data sample was collected with the CDF detector during the 1992--95 collider run at the Fermilab Tevatron, and corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 106 \pb. Candidate $t\bar{t}$ events in the ``lepton+jets'' decay channel provide our most precise measurement of the top quark mass. For each event a top mass is determined by using energy and momentum constraints on the production of the $\ttbar$ pair and its subsequent decay. A likelihood fit to the distribution of reconstructed masses in the data sample gives a top mass in the lepton+jets channel of $176.1\pm 5.1 (stat.)\pm 5.3 (syst.) \gevcc$. Combining this result with measurements from the ``all-hadronic'' and ``dilepton'' decay topologies yields a top mass of $176.1\pm 6.6 \gevcc$.

description: Liver diseases are considered a significant health problem worldwide. Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), which is widely considered the hepatic manifestation of the metabolic syndrome, is a complex multifactorial disease trait where environment and genetic variations interact to determine the wide spectrum of disease progression. One of the key challenges is to predict the progression of NAFLD. Our central hypothesis is that certain mitochondrial genotype or genotypes may serve as an indicator of increased susceptibility to the progressive course of NAFLD. In this study, the association of sequence variations (haplogroups) in the control loop of mitochondria was investigated. A total of 115 cases of morbidly obese patients with liver biopsy results were included (average BMI=48.0±11.1; White=80.2%; African-American=17.4%; Females=75.6%). All these patients also had metabolic syndrome. Among 86 profiled individuals, 64 (74.4%) were diagnosed with NAFLD. After extracting DNA from whole blood cells and amplifying 1122 base pairs of control loops by PCR and Sanger sequencing, all samples have been categorized into one of 11 haplogroups (H, L, K, U, J, T, M, W, N, C, and X). The most common haplogroup in this study (34.9%) was H haplogroup, while other haplogroups including L (15.1%), K (13.95%), U (11.6%), J (11.6%), T (7.0%), M, W, N, C, and X (1.2% each) were less common. The presence of NAFLD was found to be associated significantly with non-L haplogroups (H, K, T, C, U, M, N, J, W, X) (80.84% vs 38.4%) (Fisher’s test, two tailed P= 0.003). Within the major haplogroups, the prevalence of NAFLD varied: H (80.00%), L (38.46%), K (83.33%), J and U (80.00% each) (Fisher’s test two tailed P= 0.068). Moreover, within L haplogroups, L3 shows the least tendency to develop NAFLD. Further investigations are warranted to assess why in individuals with East African L3 haplogroup the susceptibility to NAFLD is reduced.

description: This site tells the story of the Washington Metro, a 103-mile rapid transit system serving Washington, D.C., and the surrounding areas of Maryland and Virginia. Planning for Metro began in the 1950s, construction began in 1969, and the first segment opened for operation in 1976. Metro is one of the largest public-works projects ever built, and it is the second-busiest rail transit system in the United States. This site was researched and written by Zachary M.

description: We present a study of the [OIII]5007/[OII]3727 (O32) ratios of star-forming galaxies drawn from MUSE data spanning a redshift range 0.284. Here we aim to understand the properties and the occurrences of galaxies with such high line ratios. Combining data from several MUSE GTO programmes, we select a population of star-forming galaxies with bright emission lines, from which we draw 406 galaxies for our analysis based on their position in the z-dependent star formation rate (SFR) - stellar mass (M*) plane. Out of this sample 15 are identified as extreme oxygen emitters based on their O32 ratios (3.7%) and 104 galaxies have O32>1 (26%). Our analysis shows no significant correlation between M*, SFR, and the distance from the SFR-M* relation with O32. We find a decrease in the fraction of galaxies with O32>1 with increasing M*, however, this is most likely a result of the relationship between O32 and metallicity, rather than between O32 and M*. We draw a comparison sample of local analogues with ~0.03 from SDSS, and find similar incidence rates for this sample. In order to investigate the evolution in the fraction of high O32 emitters with redshift, we bin the sample into three redshift subsamples of equal number, but find no evidence for a dependence on redshift. Furthermore, we compare the observed line ratios with those predicted by nebular models with no LyC escape and find that most of the extreme oxygen emitters can be reproduced by low metallicity models. The remaining galaxies are likely LyC emitter candidates. Finally, based on a comparison between electron temperature estimates from the [OIII4363]/[OIII]5007 ratio of the extreme oxygen emitters and nebular models, we argue that the galaxies with the most extreme O32 ratios have young light-weighted ages.

description: Ethos is a term from classical Greek rhetoric which, in its contemporary uses and translations, has a wide variety of meanings. Given the multitude and diversity of interpretations and contexts of ethos and other concepts from classical Greek rhetoric, contemporary scholars give serious attention to the relevance of ethos in a wide range of academic areas.

This thesis first explores a portion of the many interpretations of ethos offered by scholars from classical Greece to the present. These definitions are then applied to three areas of contemporary importance in scholarly and pedagogical work: ethos and its relevance to writers, ethos and its uses in literary interpretation, and ethos as it can be more broadly applied to issues of gender and credibility within academia. The applications presented are just the beginning. Further exploration of this and other complicated terms from classical Greek rhetoric will hopefully continue to fuel academic growth and development for the contemporary rhetorician.

description: All levels of government are currently working around the clock to contain the Coronavirus.Consequently, the system's primary objective is to employ cutting-edge computer technology to curb thespread of infectious diseases such as the Coronavirus by enforcing a severe ban on public spitting throughthe use of real-time drone-based surveillance systems. Spitting is the primary vector for the virus'smaximum replication. A combination of closed-circuit television and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs)will monitor public spaces and record any actions taking place there in real time. Following transmissionover the Cloud, the data will be evaluated for the presence of public spitting. The local authorities willhave access to the results through a web/mobile interface. The person can thereafter face punishment fromthe authorities. A more effective management and monitoring of public spitting can be achieved with thehelp of this approach. Computer vision, namely Convolutional Neural Networks and Decision Making, hasbeen employed in the system's design to accomplish the task of spitting and garbage littering detection.

description: In this work we studied the influence of particle size and agglomeration in the performance of solid oxide fuel cell cathodes made with nanoparticles of La0.8Sr0.2MnO3. We followed two synthesis routes based on the Liquid Mix method. In both procedures we introduced additional reagents in order to separated the manganite particles. We evaluated cathodic performance by Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy in symmetrical (CATHODE/ELECTROLYTE/CATHODE) cells. Particle size was tuned by the temperature used for cathode sintering. Our results show that deagglomeration of the particles, serves to improve the cathodes performance. However, the dependence of the performance with the size of the particles is not clear, as different trends were obtained for each synthesis route. As a common feature, the cathodes with the lowest area specific resistance are the ones sintered at the largest temperature. This result indicates that an additional factor related with the quality of the cathode/electrolyte sintering, is superimposed with the influence of particle size, however further work is needed to clarify this issue. The enhancement obtained by deagglomeration suggest that the use of this kind of methods deserved to be considered to develop high performance electrodes for solid oxide fuel cells.

description: A brief summary of the formulation of QCD at finite chemical potental, $μ$, is presented. The failure of the quenched approximation to the problem is reviewed. Results are presented for dynamical simulations of the theory at strong and intermediate couplings. We find that the problems associated with the quenched theory persist: the onset of non-zero quark number does seem to occur at a chemical potential $\approx { {m_π} \over 2}$. However analysis of the Lee-Yang zeros of the grand canonical partition function in the complex fugacity plane, ($e^{μ/T}$), does show signals of critical behaviour in the expected region of chemical potential. Results are presented for a simulation at finite density of the Gross-Neveu model on a $16^3$ lattice near to the chiral limit. Contrary to our simulations of QCD no pathologies were found when $μ$ passed through the value $m_π/2}$.

description: Star-forming galaxies have been found to follow a relatively tight relation between stellar mass ($M_{*}$) and star formation rate (SFR), dubbed the `star formation sequence'. A turnover in the sequence has been observed, where galaxies with $M_{*} < 10^{10} {\rm M}_{\odot}$ follow a steeper relation than their higher mass counterparts, suggesting that the low-mass slope is (nearly) linear. In this paper, we characterise the properties of the low-mass end of the star formation sequence between $7 \leq \log M_{*}[{\rm M}_{\odot}] \leq 10.5$ at redshift $0.11 < z < 0.91$. We use the deepest MUSE observations of the Hubble Ultra Deep Field and the Hubble Deep Field South to construct a sample of 179 star-forming galaxies with high signal-to-noise emission lines. Dust-corrected SFRs are determined from H$β$ $λ4861$ and H$α$ $λ6563$. We model the star formation sequence with a Gaussian distribution around a hyperplane between $\log M_{*}$, $\log {\rm SFR}$, and $\log (1+z)$, to simultaneously constrain the slope, redshift evolution, and intrinsic scatter. We find a sub-linear slope for the low-mass regime where $\log {\rm SFR}[{\rm M}_{\odot}/{\rm yr}] = 0.83^{+0.07}_{-0.06} \log M_{*}[{\rm M}_{\odot}] + 1.74^{+0.66}_{-0.68} \log (1+z)$, increasing with redshift. We recover an intrinsic scatter in the relation of $σ_{\rm intr} = 0.44^{+0.05}_{-0.04}$ dex, larger than typically found at higher masses. As both hydrodynamical simulations and (semi-)analytical models typically favour a steeper slope in the low-mass regime, our results provide new constraints on the feedback processes which operate preferentially in low-mass halos.

description: Quantum-enhanced phase estimation paves the way to ultra-precision sensing and is of great realistic significance. In this paper we investigate theoretically the estimation of a second-order nonlinear phase shift using a coherent state and parity measurement. A numerical expression is derived, the resolution and the sensitivity of parity signal are contrasted to linear phase estimation protocol, and the signal visibility is analyzed. Additionally, by virtue of phase-averaging approach to eliminate any hidden resources, we make an attempt at unveiling the low-down on the fundamental sensitivity limit from the quantum Fisher information. Finally, the effects of several realistic scenarios on the resolution and the sensitivity are studied, including photon loss, imperfect detector, and those which are a combination thereof.

publisherIdentifier: https://ror.org/04zjtrb98
publisherIdentifierScheme: ROR

description: The purpose of this study was to treat normal human fibroblasts with known tumor promoters and observe queuine modification of tRNA. The queuine insertion enzyme, tRNAguanine ribosyltransferase, was studied in vivo and in vitro. Tumor promoter-treated human fibroblast cultures exhibited variable queuine-insertion rates with a transient inhibition that correlated with variable levels of queuine modified tRNA over time in culture from passages 3 — 8. In contrast the in vitro studies showed that phorbol cetera and saccharin actually increased insertion with strong evidence indicating phosphorylation as a positive modulating force of the enzyme activity. It is proposed that chronic stimulation of protein kinase C with tumor promoters leads to increased turnover of protein kinase C and a resulting deficit of the kinase. This would reduce the effect on the insertion enzyme, resulting in undermodified tRNA with time in culture. Therefore, it is proposed that protein kinase C is an important modulator of overall queuine metabolism.

description: Background: Chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infects 257 million people globally. Current therapies suppress HBV but rebound occurs on cessation of therapy; novel therapeutic strategies are urgently required.

Aim: To develop a potent therapeutic HBV vaccine that will induce T-cells to all major HBV antigens and generate anti-HBs antibodies, using Chimpanzee adenoviral vectors and shark class-II invariant (sIi) chain as a genetic adjuvant.

Methods: We designed a HBV immunogen encoding core, surface and non-functional polymerase (Pmut) antigens. Surface protein was generated separately using furin 2A (F2A) peptide cleavage protein. A 26 amino-acid sequence, derived from shark invariant chain (sIi), was inserted at the 5’ end of the HBV immunogen. The immunogens were encoded in chimpanzee-adenoviral vector (ChAdOx2) and tested in naïve mice given i.m. HBV-specific T-cell responses were assessed using IFN-Υ ELISpot and intracellular cytokine (ICCS) assays.

Results: Vaccination generated very high magnitude HBV specific T-cell responses to all HBV antigens. The mean magnitude of total HBV- specific T-cell responses in inbred BALB/c and outbred CD1 mice were 3858 and 3821 spot forming units [SFU]/106 splenocytes and 4514 and 2979 SFU/106 intrahepatic lymphocytes respectively. ICCS showed that HBV specific CD8+ T cells were polyfunctional producing both IFN-Υ and TNF-α.
The inclusion of shark invariant chain significantly enhances the T-cell magnitude for both splenocytes (3821 mean total SFU/106 with sIi vs. 386 mean total SFU/106 without sIi, p<0.0001) and intrahepatic lymphocytes (2979 mean total SFU/106 with sIi vs. 461 mean total SFU/106 without SIi, p=0.0002). Importantly, T-cells to the non-HBV SIi peptides were not generated.

Conclusion: We have generated highly a potent HBV vaccine that induces T-cells against all major HBV proteins, using chimpanzee adenoviral vector and class-II invariant chain technologies. These pre-clinical studies pave the way for new studies of HBV immunotherapy in humans with chronic HBV infection.

description: We present accurate and up-to-date constraints on the complete set of dimension five and six operators with scalar, fermion and vector Dark Matter (DM). We find limits using LHC mono-jet data, spin inde- pendent and spin dependent direct searches, relic density and CMB, and show the interplay between high and low energy data in setting bounds on the parameter space. In order to properly compare data taken at different energies, we take into account the effect of the running and mixing of operators. We also take into account the local density uncertainties affecting direct detection data, and apply EFT validity criteria related to the cut on the invariant mass of DM pair production at the LHC, which turns out to be especially important for the case of vector DM. Finally, we estimate the potential of the future LHC runs to probe DM parameter space.

description: Online controlled experiments (a.k.a. A/B testing) have been used as the mantra for data-driven decision making on feature changing and product shipping in many Internet companies. However, it is still a great challenge to systematically measure how every code or feature change impacts millions of users with great heterogeneity (e.g. countries, ages, devices). The most commonly used A/B testing framework in many companies is based on Average Treatment Effect (ATE), which cannot detect the heterogeneity of treatment effect on users with different characteristics. In this paper, we propose statistical methods that can systematically and accurately identify Heterogeneous Treatment Effect (HTE) of any user cohort of interest (e.g. mobile device type, country), and determine which factors (e.g. age, gender) of users contribute to the heterogeneity of the treatment effect in an A/B test. By applying these methods on both simulation data and real-world experimentation data, we show how they work robustly with controlled low False Discover Rate (FDR), and at the same time, provides us with useful insights about the heterogeneity of identified user groups. We have deployed a toolkit based on these methods, and have used it to measure the Heterogeneous Treatment Effect of many A/B tests at Snap.

description: We explore the compact U(1) lattice gauge theory with staggered fermions and gauge field action -\sum_P [β\cos(Θ_P) + γ\cos(2Θ_P)], both for dynamical fermions and in the quenched approximation. (Θ_P denotes the plaquette angle.) In simulations with dynamical fermions at various γ\le -0.2 on 6^4 lattices we find the energy gap at the phase transition of a size comparable to the pure gauge theory for γ\le 0 on the same lattice, diminishing with decreasing γ. This suggests a second order transition in the thermodynamic limit of the theory with fermions for γbelow some finite negative value. Studying the theory on large lattices at γ= -0.2 in the quenched approximation by means of the equation of state we find non-Gaussian values of the critical exponents associated with the chiral condensate, β\simeq 0.32 and δ\simeq 1.8, and determine the scaling function. Furthermore, we evaluate the meson spectrum and study the PCAC relation.

description: School mobility (unscheduled moves to a different elementary school) may contribute to decreased academic performance and social development. Research examining the consequences of school mobility is made more difficult due to the fact that students who move to a different school are initially different than those who do not move schools, thus it is important to understand these selection effects, that is, who is moving during elementary school and how they are different from children who do not experience such mobility? We analyzed the characteristics of children who did and did not switch schools in grades K-5 in the Miami School Readiness Project (MSRP), a cohort-sequential longitudinal study (N= 33,043). Bivariate analyses and multivariate Poisson regressions were conducted with our outcome being dichotomous (yes/no) ever move and the total number of school moves students made from Kindergarten through 5th grade. Overall, 38% of our sample moved to a different school at least once during K-G5. For those who moved, the majority (66%) only did so once, 30% moved twice, and the remaining 4% moved schools 3 or more times. Bivariately, scoring lower on school readiness assessments at age 4, being Black, attending a lower-quality school, attending center-based care (CBC) or family child care (FCC) center, (as opposed to public school pre-K) at age 4, and having a disability were related to increased probability of moving schools. Controlling for all predictors, the binary logistic component of the multivariate Poisson regression showed that students are more likely to move schools if: a) they attended center based care or family childcare centers compared to students who went to public school pre-K at age 4, b) they are Black compared to White, c) they do not have a disability, and d) they attended a lower-quality school the year before their first move. The count portion of the Poisson regression showed that, in addition to all of the above significant binary logistic predictors, students scoring lower on preschool teacher-reported social skills, and Black students compared to Latino and White students, switched schools more often given that they moved schools at least once. Unlike the binary logistic results, poverty status was associated with more school moves in elementary school, holding all other predictors constant. It is important for future research examining the benefits of school stability in elementary school to control for these selection effects that differentiate those who do and do not switch schools to begin with.

description: The next generation of cellular networks (5G) will exploit the mmWave spectrum to increase the available capacity. Communication at such high frequencies, however, suffers from high path loss and blockage, therefore directional transmissions using antenna arrays and dense deployments are needed. Thus, when evaluating the performance of mmWave mobile networks, it is necessary to accurately model the complex channel, the directionality of the transmission, but also the interplay that these elements can have with the whole protocol stack, both in the radio access and in the higher layers. In this paper, we improve the channel model abstraction of the mmWave module for ns-3, by introducing the support of a more realistic antenna array model, compliant with 3GPP NR requirements, and of multiple antenna arrays at the base stations and mobile handsets. We then study the end-to-end performance of a mmWave cellular network by varying the channel and antenna array configurations, and show that increasing the number of antenna arrays and, consequently, the number of sectors is beneficial for both throughput and latency.

description: The analysis of new experimental data, obtained at the Proton Linear Accelerator of INR, with the aim to search for supernarrow dibaryons in the $pd\to ppX_1$ and $pd\to pdX_2$ reactions is presented. Narrow peaks with an experimental width of 5 MeV at masses of 1904$\pm 2$, 1926$\pm 2$, and 1942$\pm 2$ MeV have been observed in missing mass $M_{pX_1}$ spectra. In the missing mass $M_{X_1}$ spectra, the peaks at $M_{X_1}=966\pm 2$, 986$\pm 2$, and 1003$\pm 2$ MeV have been found. The analysis of the data obtained leads to the conclusion that the observed peaks in $M_{pX_1}$ spectra are most likely supernarrow dibaryons, the decay of which into two nucleons is forbidden by the Pauli exclusion principle. An alternative interpretation of the spectra by assuming a decay of the supernarrow dibaryons in "exotic baryon states" with masses $M_{X_1}$ is discussed.

description: This study x-rays the criminal justice system, and crime control and prevention in Nigeria. The objectives of the study are to assess the impact of institutional reforms on the effectiveness of law enforcement agencies in Nigeria, evaluate the influence of socio-economic factors on crime rates and patterns in Nigeria, investigate the role of corruption in undermining the integrity and efficiency of the criminal justice system in Nigeria, examine the effectiveness of community oriented policing initiatives in enhancing collaboration between law enforcement agencies and local communities, and analyze the challenges and opportunities for addressing transnational crimes in Nigeria through international cooperation. The adopted theory was the Social Disorganization Theory. This theory provides a comprehensive framework for understanding the social and environmental factors that contribute to crime rates and patterns in Nigeria. The study employs a qualitative research method to capture the complexity of criminal justice system, and crime control and prevention in Nigeria. The results of this study highlight the importance of institutional reforms in enhancing the effectiveness of law enforcement agencies in Nigeria, the findings underscore the significant influence of socioeconomic factors on crime rates and patterns in Nigeria, moreover, the pervasive issue of corruption poses a significant threat to the integrity and efficiency of the criminal justice system in Nigeria. The study recommends that; comprehensive institutional reforms should be implemented within law enforcement agencies, the judiciary, and correctional facilities to enhance professionalism, accountability, and efficiency, and investments in education, job creation, and social welfare programs should be prioritized to address underlying socioeconomic disparities and reduce the risk factors associated with crime

description: The 30 Doradus (30 Dor) nebula in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) is the brightest HII region in the Local Group and a prototype starburst similar to those found in high redshift galaxies. It is thus a stepping stone to understand the complex formation processes of stars in starburst regions across the Universe. Here, we have studied the formation history of massive stars in 30 Dor using masses and ages derived for 452 mainly OB stars from the spectroscopic VLT-FLAMES Tarantula Survey (VFTS). We find that stars of all ages and masses are scattered throughout 30 Dor. This is remarkable because it implies that massive stars either moved large distances or formed independently over the whole field of view in relative isolation. We find that both channels contribute to the 30 Dor massive star population. Massive star formation rapidly accelerated about 8 Myr ago, first forming stars in the field before giving birth to the stellar populations in NGC 2060 and NGC 2070. The R136 star cluster in NGC 2070 formed last and, since then, about 1 Myr ago, star formation seems to be diminished with some continuing in the surroundings of R136. Massive stars within a projected distance of 8 pc of R136 are not coeval but show an age range of up to 6 Myr. Our mass distributions are well populated up to $200\,\mathrm{M}_\odot$. The inferred IMF is shallower than a Salpeter-like IMF and appears to be the same across 30 Dor. By comparing our sample of stars to stellar models in the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram, we find evidence for missing physics in the models above $\log L/\mathrm{L}_\odot=6$ that is likely connected to enhanced wind mass loss for stars approaching the Eddington limit.

description: This thesis explores the ways in which family farmers along Leeds Manor Road in Fauquier County, Virginia are able to shape their identity as farmers through their “pick-your-own” businesses. By continuing the tradition of farming in this post-rural economy, these farm families are preserving a way of life for themselves and their community. Inviting the public to participate in farming by allowing “pick-your-own” has implications for identity that are challenging and also create opportunities for further self-definition and creativity. Analysis of the history of farming in the region highlights that these farm families work both within a tradition and also innovate beyond that tradition. Changing times and increased pressure have created stresses on these farms, but also provided the impetus for this group of farmers to demonstrate creative placemaking and problem solving, while imprinting the land with their own personalities and locally determined sense of place.
Optical forces and torques exerted on coupled silica nanospheres: unexpected effects due to the multiple scattering
Creators: name: Ekeroth, Ricardo Martin Abraham

description: Optically coupled nanoparticles suffer the action of multiple electromagnetic forces when they are illuminated by light. In general, two kinds of forces are commonly assumed: binding forces that make them attract/repel each other and scattering forces that push the system forwards. Tangential forces and orbital torques can also be induced to align the dimer with the electric field. In this work, new degrees of freedom are found for a dimer of silica nanospheres under illumination with linearly-polarized plane waves. The results have a general validity for arbitrary mesoscale systems: multiple scattering of light induces unexpected torques and unbalanced forces. These torques include spin contributions to the movement of the whole system. The results are supported by previous works and pave the way for the engineering of nanoscale devices and nanorotators. Any application which is based on photonics at mesoscales should take into account the new movements predicted here.

description: We study large N SU(N) Yang-Mills theory in three and four dimensions using a one-parameter family of supergravity models which originate from non-extremal rotating D-branes. We show explicitly that varying this "angular momentum" parameter decouples the Kaluza-Klein modes associated with the compact D-brane coordinate, while the mass ratios for ordinary glueballs are quite stable against this variation, and are in good agreement with the latest lattice results. We also compute the topological susceptibility and the gluon condensate as a function of the "angular momentum" parameter.
