Negative parity baryons in the $1/N_c$ expansion: the three towers of states revisited

description: We discuss the compatibility between the quark-shell picture and the meson-nucleon scattering picture in large $N_c$ QCD for mixed symmetric $\ell$ = 1 states previously analyzed by using a simple Hamiltonian including operators up to order $\mathcal{O}(N^0_c)$ defined in the standard ground state symmetric core + excited quark procedure. Here we introduce a Hamiltonian of order $\mathcal{O}(N^0_c)$ defined in a new approach where the separation of the system into two parts is not required. Three degenerate sets of states (towers) with the same quantum numbers as in the scattering picture and in the standard procedure are obtained. Thus the 0 is equally achieved. The eigenvalues of the presently chosen Hamiltonian also have simple analytic expressions, depending linearly on the three dynamical coefficients entering the Hamiltonian. This reinforces the validity of the new approach which had already 0 described excited negative parity baryons in a large energy range.

description: We demonstrate non-perturbative coupling between a single self-assembled InGaAs quantum dot and an external fiber-mirror based microcavity. Our results extend the previous realizations of tunable microcavities while ensuring spatial and spectral overlap between the cavity-mode and the emitter by simultaneously allowing for deterministic charge control of the quantum dots. Using resonant spectroscopy, we show that the coupled quantum dot cavity system is at the onset of strong coupling, with a cooperativity parameter of 2. Our results constitute a milestone towards the realization of a high efficiency solid-state spin-photon interface.

description: Spatial networks, in which nodes and edges are embedded in space, play a vital role in the study of complex systems. For example, many social networks attach geo-location information to each user, allowing the study of not only topological interactions between users, but spatial interactions as well. The defining property of spatial networks is that edge distances are associated with a cost, which may subtly influence the topology of the network. However, the cost function over distance is rarely known, thus developing a model of connections in spatial networks is a difficult task. In this paper, we introduce a novel model for capturing the interaction between spatial effects and network structure. Our approach represents a unique combination of ideas from latent variable statistical models and spatial network modeling. In contrast to previous work, we view the ability to form long/short-distance connections to be dependent on the individual nodes involved. For example, a node's specific surroundings (e.g. network structure and node density) may make it more likely to form a long distance link than other nodes with the same degree. To capture this information, we attach a latent variable to each node which represents a node's spatial reach. These variables are inferred from the network structure using a Markov Chain Monte Carlo algorithm. We experimentally evaluate our proposed model on 4 different types of real-world spatial networks (e.g. transportation, biological, infrastructure, and social). We apply our model to the task of link prediction and achieve up to a 35% improvement over previous approaches in terms of the area under the ROC curve. Additionally, we show that our model is particularly helpful for predicting links between nodes with low degrees. In these cases, we see much larger improvements over previous models.
On the critical temperature and the energy gap in dense SiH4(H2)2 at 250 GPa

description: The critical temperature ($T_{C}$) and the energy gap ($2Δ(T)$) for the superconductor SiH$_4$(H$_2$)$_2$ at 250 GPa have been calculated. The wide range of the Coulomb pseudopotential's values has been considered: $μ^{\star}\in<0.1,0.3>$. It has been stated that $T_{C}$ decreases together with the increase of $μ^{\star}$ from 129.83 K to 81.40 K. The low-temperature energy gap ($T\sim 0$ K) decreases together with the increase of the Coulomb pseudopotential from 50.96 meV to 30.12 meV. The high values of $2Δ(0)$ mean that the dimensionless ratio $R_Δ\equiv 2Δ(0)/k_{B}T_{C}$ significantly exceeds the value predicted by the classical BCS theory. In the considered case: $R_Δ\in<4.55,4.29>$. Due to the unusual dependence of the critical temperature and the energy gap on $μ^{\star}$, the analytical expressions for $T_{C}(μ^{\star})$ and $Δ(μ^{\star})$ have been given.

description: Obesity rates in the U.S. are associated with area-level, food-related characteristics. Studies have previously examined the role of structural racism (policies/practices that advantaged White Americans and deprived other racial/ethnic minority groups), but racial inequalities in socioeconomic status (SES) is a novel indicator. The aim of this study is to determine the associations between racial inequalities in SES with obesity and obesogenic environments. Data from 2007–2014 County Health Rankings and 2012–2016 County Business Patterns were combined to assess the associations between relative SES comparing Blacks to Whites with obesity, and number of grocery stores and fast food restaurants in U.S. counties. Random effects linear and Poisson regressions were used and stratified by county racial composition. Racial inequality in poverty, unemployment, and homeownership were associated with higher obesity rates. Racial inequality in median income, college graduates, and unemployment were associated with fewer grocery stores and more fast food restaurants. Associations varied by county racial composition. The results demonstrate that a novel indicator of structural racism on the county-level is associated with obesity and obesogenic environments. Associations vary by SES measure and county racial composition, suggesting the ability for targeted interventions to improve obesogenic environments and policies to eliminate racial inequalities in SES.

description: We discuss the path of a tracer particle as a microswimmer moves past on an infinite straight trajectory. If the tracer is sufficiently far from the path of the swimmer it moves in a closed loop. As the initial distance between the tracer and the path of the swimmer $ρ$ decreases, the tracer is displaced a small distance backwards (relative to the direction of the swimmer velocity). For much smaller tracer-swimmer separations, however, the tracer displacement becomes positive and diverges as $ρ\to 0$. To quantify this behaviour we calculate the Darwin drift, the total volume swept out by a material sheet of tracers, initially perpendicular to the swimmer path, during the swimmer motion. We find that the drift can be written as the sum of a {\em universal} term which depends on the quadrupolar flow field of the swimmer, together with a non-universal contribution given by the sum of the volumes of the swimmer and its wake. The formula is compared to exact results for the squirmer model and to numerical calculations for a more realistic model swimmer.

title: Structure and Petrology of the Grandy Ridge-Lake Shannon Area, North Cascades, Washington
Creators: name: Smith, Moira T.
Publisher: name: Western Washington University
Year: 1986

description:
The Grandy Ridge-Lake Shannon area contains four major lithologic units: the Chilliwack Group, the Yellow Aster Complex, and the informally named ""chert/basalt"" and ""Triassic dacite"" units. The units are juxtaposed along anastomosing low angle faults of Late Cretaceous age. Additional deformation took place at a more recent time.

Lithologies of the Chilliwack Group predominate in the study area, with fine-grained sedimentary rocks of the lower clastic sequence present at lower elevations in the map area, and relatively mafic volcanic rocks present mostly at higher elevations. Sedimentary rocks in the vicinity of Upper Baker Dam, originally mapped as part of the Nooksack Group, are in this study assigned to the Chilliwack Group, based on lithologic, metamorphic, and structural considerations. The Chilliwack Group contains metamorphic mineral assemblages indicative of high pressure-low temperature metamorphic conditions. Reibeckite and crossite are reported for the first time in this unit.

Lithologies of the Chilliwack Group are present at the structurally lowest levels in the map area. A low angle thrust contact separates these rocks from overlying rocks of the Triassic dacite unit in many locations. The chert/basalt unit appears to be the structurally highest unit in the study area.

Evidence of two deformations is present in the Chilliwack Group. An early (D1) deformation is manifested by a persistent, low angle, slaty to phyllitic cleavage (S1) in fine-grained rocks, a northwest-trending stretching lineation (L1) in volcanic and coarse clastic rocks, and by infrequent northeast-trending folds. The second deformation (D2) is less extensive, primarily manifested by northwest-trending F2 folds.

The L1 lineations consist of stretched clasts and amygdules, and are most common along the top of Grandy ridge and in the vicinity of Upper Baker Dam. They are interpreted to represent the direction of shearing during the first deformation. Study of shear sense indicators suggests that the upper plate moved northwest relative to the lower plate. Strain magnitudes associated with these L1 lineations vary, but average approximately 3.5:1 in the XZ principal plane. This evidence suggests a minimum of several kilometers of northwest displacement of the approximately one kilometer thick section of rock exposed in the study area. The first deformation appears to have post-dated crystallization of the high pressure minerals, as evidenced by the presense of cracked and boudinaged lawsonite grains.

Evidence for northwest-southeast directed movement is present elsewhere in the Chilliwack Group, and is also present along segments of the Shuksan Fault. This movement may be related to emplacement of the structural units present in the western North Cascades.

description: This paper presents a navigation strategy to fly to the Moon along a Weak Stability Boundary transfer trajectory. A particular strategy is devised to ensure capture into an uncontrolled relatively stable orbit at the Moon. Both uncertainty in the orbit determination process and in the control of the thrust vector are included in the navigation analysis. The orbit determination process is based on the definition of an optimal filtering technique that is able to meet accuracy requirements at an acceptable computational cost. Three sequential filtering techniques are analysed: an extended Kalman filter, an Unscented Kalman filter and a Kalman filter based on high order expansions. The analysis shows that only the unscented Kalman filter meets the accuracy requirements at an acceptable computational cost. This paper demonstrates lunar weak capture for all trajectories within a capture corridor defined by all the trajectories in the neighbourhood of the nominal one, in state space. A minimum f'v strategy is presented to extend the lifetime of the spacecraft around the Moon. The orbit determination and navigation strategies are applied to the case of the European Student Moon Orbiter.

Our calculations include two sets of nuclear masses and fission barriers and include all possible fission channels and the associated fission yield distributions. Our calculations produce superheavy nuclei with A ~ 300 that however decay on timescales of days.

description: Thermal infrared remote sensing observations have been widely used to provide useful information on surface energy and water stress for estimating evapotranspiration (ET). However, the revisit time of current high spatial resolution (<100 m) thermal infrared remote sensing systems, sixteen days for Landsat for example, can be insufficient to reliably derive ET information for water resources management. We used in situ ET measurements from multiple Ameriflux sites to (1) evaluate different scaling methods that are commonly used to derive daytime ET estimates from time-of-day observations; and (2) quantify the impact of different revisit times on ET estimates at monthly and seasonal time scales. The scaling method based on a constant evaporative ratio between ET and the top-of-atmosphere solar radiation provided slightly better results than methods using the available energy, the surface solar radiation or the potential ET as scaling reference fluxes. On average, revisit time periods of 2, 4, 8 and 16 days resulted in ET uncertainties of 0.37, 0.55, 0.73 and 0.90 mm per day in summer, which represented 13%, 19%, 23% and 31% of the monthly average ET calculated using the one-day revisit dataset. The capability of a system to capture rapid changes in ET was significantly reduced for return periods higher than eight days. The impact of the revisit on ET depended mainly on the land cover type and seasonal climate, and was higher over areas with high ET. We did not observe significant and systematic differences between the impacts of the revisit on monthly ET estimates that are based on morning or afternoon observations. We found that four-day revisit scenarios provided a significant improvement in temporal sampling to monitor surface ET reducing by around 40% the uncertainty of ET products derived from a 16-day revisit system, such as Landsat for instance.

description: Using GMOS--IFU spectroscopic observations of the compact HII/BCD galaxies Tol 0104-388 and Tol 2146-391, we study the spatial distribution of emission lines, equivalent width EW(Hb), extinction c(Hb), ionization ratios ([OIII]5007/Hb, [SII]6717,6731/Ha and [NII]6584/Ha), kinematics, and the chemical pattern (O/H, N/H and N/O) of the warm interstellar medium in these galaxies. We also investigate a possible dependence of these properties on the I(HeII4686)/I(Hb) ratio and find no significant correlation between these variables. In fact, the oxygen abundances appear to be uniform in the regions where the HeII4686 emission line was measured. It can be interpreted in the sense that these correlations are related to global properties of the galaxies and not with small patches of the interstellar medium. Although a possible weak N/H gradient is observed in Tol 2146-391, the available data suggest that the metals from previous star-formation events are well mixed and homogeneously distributed through the optical extent of these galaxies. The spatial constancy of the N/O ratio might be attributed to efficient transport and mixing of metals by starburst-driven super-shells, powered by a plethora of unresolved star cluster in the inner part of the galaxies. This scenario agrees with the idea that most of the observed HeII4686 emission line, in our sample of galaxies, is produced by radiative shocks.

 Apanteles folia 1965. F. Malaya. 99. BMNH.
 Apanteles folia is known to have variable forms or subspecies (Nixon, 1965). In the material examined from southern India, females have a reddish yellow hind tibia, becoming infuscate on apical third. Face coarsely punctuate, much duller and rugose towards antennal insertions. Mesopleuron strongly, coarsely punctuate all over its median part, the sculpture extending into vague striations on the depressed posterior part. Fore wing with stigma pallid with brown border and costula present. Propodeum strongly areolate; the dorsal areas dull, rugose and contrast sharply with shining smooth posterior fields. Hind coxa dull, rugose dorsally. First tergite as wide as long, rugose. Ovipositor sheath as long as first segment of hind tarsus.

 Material examined. Twelve females and males on card; INDIA, Karnataka, Ganganhalli, 12.viii.2011, emerged from parasitized larvae of Arhopala amantes (Hewitson), leg. Mallesh, deposited in National Bureau of Agriculturally Important Insects (NBAII), Bangalore, India. Code 12811.
 Host. Larvae of A. amantes on Lagerstroemia speciosa L. The large oakblue, Arhopala amantes, is a species of Lycaenidae found in Asia.
 Discussion. The current report adds to the known host range of A. folia while extending the known distribution of the parasitoid to southern India. Hyboteles toxopeusi Van Achterberg (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidea) is the only other species of parasitoid reported from Arhopala micale Boisduval. The extended host range thus include Arhopala amantes (Hewitso) n from India, Spindasis lohita Horsfield from Malaysia, Jalmenus evagoras eubulus Miskin from Australia, Luthrodes cleotas kaiphas Fruhstorfer from New Guinea (Nixon, 1965), and from one unconfirmed host Arhopala horisana ?

description: Coherent diffraction imaging (CDI) is high-resolution lensless microscopy that has been applied to image a wide range of specimens using synchrotron radiation, X-ray free electron lasers, high harmonic generation, soft X-ray laser and electrons. Despite these rapid advances, it remains a challenge to reconstruct fine features in weakly scattering objects such as biological specimens from noisy data. Here we present an effective iterative algorithm, termed oversampling smoothness (OSS), for phase retrieval of noisy diffraction intensities. OSS exploits the correlation information among the pixels or voxels in the region outside of a support in real space. By properly applying spatial frequency filters to the pixels or voxels outside the support at different stage of the iterative process (i.e. a smoothness constraint), OSS finds a balance between the hybrid input-output (HIO) and error reduction (ER) algorithms to search for a global minimum in solution space, while reducing the oscillations in the reconstruction. Both our numerical simulations with Poisson noise and experimental data from a biological cell indicate that OSS consistently outperforms the HIO, ER-HIO and noise robust (NR)-HIO algorithms at all noise levels in terms of accuracy and consistency of the reconstructions. We expect OSS to find application in the rapidly growing CDI field as well as other disciplines where phase retrieval from noisy Fourier magnitudes is needed.

description: This paper presents the design and development of a low cost Data Acquisition System (DAS) using PIC12F675 microcontroller for real time temperature and humidity monitoring. The designed DAS has 4 analog input channels having 10-bit resolution and was interfaced through the serial port of the PC. A precision integrated temperature sensor and an instrumentation-quality RH (Relative Humidity) sensor were used for sensing the temperature and humidity respectively. The firmware was written in Basic and compiled using Oshonsoft PIC IDE and downloaded to the microcontroller by using PICkit2 programmer. An application program was also developed using Visual Basic 6, which allows displaying the waveform of the signal(s) in real time and the data can be saved into the hard disk of the computer for future use and analysis. It can also be interfaced to the USB port of the PC or laptop using USB to serial adapter BAFO BF-810. Thus, the designed low cost device works with the legacy hardware as well as the modern USB interface.

description: We report neutron inelastic scattering measurements on the normal and superconducting states of single-crystalline Cs0.8Fe1.9Se2. Consistent with previous measurements on Rb(x)Fe(2-y)Se2, we observe two distinct spin excitation signals: (i) spin-wave excitations characteristic of the block antiferromagnetic order found in insulating A(x)Fe(2-y)Se2 compounds, and (ii) a resonance-like magnetic peak localized in energy at 11 meV and at an in-plane wave vector of (0.25, 0.5). The resonance peak increases below Tc = 27 K, and has a similar absolute intensity to the resonance peaks observed in other Fe-based superconductors. The existence of a magnetic resonance in the spectrum of Rb(x)Fe(2-y)Se2 and now of Cs(x)Fe(2-y)Se2 suggests that this is a common feature of superconductivity in this family. The low energy spin-wave excitations in Cs0.8Fe1.9Se2 show no measurable response to superconductivity, consistent with the notion of spatially separate magnetic and superconducting phases.

title: Conserving Heritage Value through Repair and Maintenance (R&M) at The Tower of London
Creators: name: Drewett, Georgina
Publisher: name: Oxford Brookes University
Year: 2020

description: Repair and Maintenance (R&M) of heritage sites is vital to keep sites up-to-date and functional. Sites must be adapted to contemporary standards in order to continue communicating their significance and value to the public. Literature suggests that R&M is therefore a mechanism for achieving heritage values. However, literature also suggests that there are tensions between the two value systems: R&M and heritage values. Authenticity and minimizing the loss of historic fabric can conflict with structural safety and maximizing public usability. This thesis explores the Tower of London, which is a World Heritage Site and Scheduled Ancient Monument, as a case study and uses 6 key examples to examine these tensions. Surprisingly, it finds that there is little tension on-site and using key examples, it explores how these tensions have been largely mitigated. It finds that the use of removable infrastructure, stable materials, regular R&M and complex design features are tension-mitigation strategies which have broader resonance at other heritage sites. It is hoped that this case study may offer a learning experience to reduce R&M-heritage tensions for other sites.

description: We demonstrate the existence of high--order jamming crossovers in systems of particles with repulsive contact interactions, which originate from the collapse of successive coordination shells. At zero temperature, these crossovers induce an anomalous behavior of the bulk modulus, which varies non--monotonically with the density, while at finite temperature they induce density anomalies consisting in an increased diffusivity upon isothermal compression and in a negative thermal expansion coefficient. We rationalize the dependence of these crossovers on the softness of the interaction potential, and relate the jamming crossovers and the anomalous diffusivity through the investigation of the vibrational spectrum.

description: We investigate how beams with orbital angular momentum (OAM) behave under total internal reflection. This is studied in two complementary experiments: In the first experiment, we study geometric shifts of OAM beams upon total internal reflection (Goos-Hänchen and Imbert-Fedorov shifts, for each the spatial and angular variant), and in the second experiment we determine changes in the OAM mode spectrum of a beam, again upon total internal reflection. As a result we find that in the first case, the shifts are independent of OAM and beam focussing, while in the second case, modifications in the OAM spectrum occur which depend on the input OAM mode as well as on the beam focussing. This is investigated by experiment and theory. We also show how the two methods, beam shifts on the one hand, and OAM spectrum changes on the other, are related theoretically.

description: One of application that needs high performance computing resources is molecular d ynamic. There is some software available that perform molecular dynamic, one of these is a well known GROMACS. Our previous experiment simulating molecular dynamics of Indonesian grown herbal compounds show sufficient speed up on 32 n odes Cluster computing environment. In order to obtain a reliable simulation, one usually needs to run the experiment on the scale of hundred nodes. But this is expensive to develop and maintain. Since the invention of Graphical Processing Units that is also useful for general programming, many applications have been developed to run on this. This paper reports our experiments that evaluate the performance of GROMACS that runs on two different environment, Cluster computing resources and GPU based PCs. We run the experiment on BRV-1 and REM2 compounds. Four different GPUs are installed on the same type of PCs of quad cores; they are Gefore GTS 250, GTX 465, GTX 470 and Quadro 4000. We build a cluster of 16 nodes based on these four quad cores PCs. The preliminary experiment shows that those run on GTX 470 is the best among the other type of GPUs and as well as the cluster computing resource. A speed up around 11 and 12 is gained, while the cost of computer with GPU is only about 25 percent that of Cluster we built.

description: In this paper, we applied a dynamic model for manoeuvring targets in SIR particle filter algorithm for improving tracking accuracy of multiple manoeuvring targets. In our proposed approach, a color distribution model is used to detect changes of target's model . Our proposed approach controls deformation of target's model. If deformation of target's model is larger than a predetermined threshold, then the model will be updated. Global Nearest Neighbor (GNN) algorithm is used as data association algorithm. We named our proposed method as Deformation Detection Particle Filter (DDPF) . DDPF approach is compared with basic SIR-PF algorithm on real airshow videos. Comparisons results show that, the basic SIR-PF algorithm is not able to track the manoeuvring targets when the rotation or scaling is occurred in target' s model. However, DDPF approach updates target's model when the rotation or scaling is occurred. Thus, the proposed approach is able to track the manoeuvring targets more efficiently and accurately.

description: Motivated by recent results on the index of the Dirac operator D=γ^{μ}D_{μ} of QCD on lattice and also by results on topological features of electrons and holes of 2-dimensional graphene, we compute in this paper the Index of D for fermions living on a family of even dimensional lattices denoted as L_{2N} and describing the 2N-dimensional generalization of the graphene honeycomb. The calculation of this topological Index is done by using the direct method based on solving explicitly the gauged Dirac equation and also by using specific properties of the lattices L_{2N} which are shown to be intimately linked with the weight lattices of SU(2N+1). The Index associated with the two leading N=1 and N=2 elements of this family describe precisely the chiral anomalies of graphene and QCD_4. Comments on the method using the spectral flow approach as well as the computation of the topological charges on 2-cycles of 2N-dimensional compact supercell in L_{2N} and applications to QCD_4 are also given.

description: We show anti-crossings due to strong in-plane coupling of plasmon modes in dielectric-metal-dielectric structure with top 2D dielectric pattern. Experimentally measured anti-crossing widths are compared with those calculated by coupled mode theory. It is shown that the coupling strength of the plasmon modes can be controlled by the orientation of the sample.

description: Urban expansion causes coastal wetland loss, and environmental stressors associated with development can lead to wetland degradation and loss of ecosystem services. This study investigated the effect of urbanization on prokaryotic community composition in tidal freshwater wetlands. Sites in an urban, suburban, and rural setting were located near Buenos Aires, Argentina, and Washington D.C., USA. We sampled soil associated with two pairs of functionally similar plant species, and used Illumina sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene to examine changes in prokaryotic communities. Urban stressors included raw sewage inputs, nutrient pollution, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Prokaryotic communities changed along the gradient (nested PerMANOVA, Buenos Aires: p = 0.005; Washington D.C.: p = 0.001), but did not differ between plant species within sites. Indicator taxa included Methanobacteria in rural sites, and nitrifying bacteria in urban sites, and we observed a decrease in methanogens and an increase in ammonia-oxidizers from rural to urban sites. Functional profiles in the Buenos Aires communities showed higher abundance of pathways related to nitrification and xenobiotic degradation in the urban site. These results suggest that changes in prokaryotic taxa across the gradient were due to surrounding stressors, and communities in urban and rural wetlands are likely carrying out different functions.

description: Observations of the atomic and molecular line emission associated with jets and outflows emitted by young stellar objects can be used to trace the various evolutionary stages they pass through as they evolve to become main sequence stars. To understand the relevance of atomic and molecular cooling in shocks, and how accretion and ejection efficiency evolves with the source evolutionary state, we will study the far-infrared counterparts of bright optical jets associated with Class I and II sources in Taurus (T Tau, DG Tau A, DG Tau B, FS Tau A+B, and RW Aur). We have analysed Herschel/PACS observations of a number of atomic ([OI]63um, 145um, [CII]158um) and molecular (high-J CO, H2O, OH) lines, collected within the OTKP GASPS. To constrain the origin of the detected lines we have compared the FIR emission maps with the emission from optical-jets and millimetre-outflows, and the line fluxes and ratios with predictions from shock and disk models. All of the targets are associated with extended emission in the atomic lines correlated with the direction of the optical jet/mm-outflow. The atomic lines can be excited in fast dissociative J-shocks. The molecular emission, on the contrary, originates from a compact region, that is spatially and spectrally unresolved. Slow C- or J- shocks with high pre-shock densities reproduce the observed H2O and high-J CO lines; however, the disk and/or UV-heated outflow cavities may contribute to the emission. While the cooling is dominated by CO and H2O lines in Class 0 sources, [OI] becomes an important coolant as the source evolves and the environment is cleared. The cooling and mass loss rates estimated for Class II and I sources are one to four orders of magnitude lower than for Class 0 sources. This provides strong evidence to indicate that the outflow activity decreases as the source evolves.

description: The space mission Kepler provides us with long and uninterrupted photometric time series of red giants. We are now able to probe the rotational behaviour in their deep interiors using the observations of mixed modes. We aim to measure the rotational splittings in red giants and to derive scaling relations for rotation related to seismic and fundamental stellar parameters. We have developed a dedicated method for automated measurements of the rotational splittings in a large number of red giants. Ensemble asteroseismology, namely the examination of a large number of red giants at different stages of their evolution, allows us to derive global information on stellar evolution. We have measured rotational splittings in a sample of about 300 red giants. We have also shown that these splittings are dominated by the core rotation. Under the assumption that a linear analysis can provide the rotational splitting, we observe a small increase of the core rotation of stars ascending the red giant branch. Alternatively, an important slow down is observed for red-clump stars compared to the red giant branch. We also show that, at fixed stellar radius, the specific angular momentum increases with increasing stellar mass. Ensemble asteroseismology indicates what has been indirectly suspected for a while: our interpretation of the observed rotational splittings leads to the conclusion that the mean core rotation significantly slows down during the red giant phase. The slow-down occurs in the last stages of the red giant branch. This spinning down explains, for instance, the long rotation periods measured in white dwarfs
