Three-Dimensional Vertex Model in Statistical Mechanics, from Baxter-Bazhanov Model
Creators: name: Hu, Zhan-Ning

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1995
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We find that the Boltzmann weight of the three-dimensional Baxter-Bazhanov model is dependent on four spin variables which are the linear combinations of the spins on the corner sites of the cube and the Wu-Kadanoff duality between the cube and vertex type tetrahedron equations is obtained explicitly for the Baxter-Bazhanov model. Then a three-dimensional vertex model is obtained by considering the symmetry property of the weight function, which is corresponding to the three-dimensional Baxter-Bazhanov model. The vertex type weight function is parametrized as the dihedral angles between the rapidity planes connected with the cube. And we write down the symmetry relations of the weight functions under the actions of the symmetry group $G$ of the cube. The six angles with a constrained condition, appeared in the tetrahedron equation, can be regarded as the six spectrums connected with the six spaces in which the vertex type tetrahedron equation is defined.

description: We show that for both single-Slater-Jastrow and Jastrow geminal power wave functions, the formal cost scaling of Hilbert space variational Monte Carlo can be reduced from fifth to fourth order in the system size, thus bringing it in line with the long-standing scaling of its real space counterpart. While traditional quantum chemistry methods can reduce costs related to the two-electron integral tensor through resolution of the identity and Cholesky decomposition approaches, we show that such approaches are ineffective in the presence of Hilbert space Jastrow factors. Instead, we develop a simple semi-stochastic approach that can take similar advantage of the near-sparsity of this four-index tensor. Through demonstrations on alkanes of increasing length, we show that accuracy and overall statistical uncertainty are not meaningfully affected and that a total cost crossover is reached as early as 50 electrons.

Duality symmetry in four-dimensional string actions

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: We reduce the dual version of $D=10$, $N=1$ supergravity coupled to $n$ vector fields to four dimensions, and derive the $SL(2,R)\times O(6,6+n)$ transformations which leave the equations of motion invariant. For $n=0$ $SL(2,R)$ is also a symmetry of the action, but for $n>0$ only those $SL(2,R)$ transformations which act linearly on all fields leave the action invariant. The resulting four-dimensional theory is related to the bosonic part of the usual formulation of $N=4$ supergravity coupled to matter by a duality transformation.

description: The luminosity function is a fundamental observable for characterizing how galaxies form and evolve throughout the cosmic history. One key ingredient to derive this measurement from the number counts in a survey is the characterization of the completeness and redshift selection functions for the observations. In this paper we present GLACiAR, an open python tool available on GitHub to estimate the completeness and selection functions in galaxy surveys. The code is tailored for multiband imaging surveys aimed at searching for high-redshift galaxies through the Lyman Break technique, but it can be applied broadly. The code generates artificial galaxies that follow Sersic profiles with different indexes and with customizable size, redshift and spectral energy distribution properties, adds them to input images, and measures the recovery rate. To illustrate this new software tool, we apply it to quantify the completeness and redshift selection functions for J-dropouts sources (redshift z~10 galaxies) in the Hubble Space Telescope Brightest of Reionizing Galaxies Survey (BoRG). Our comparison with a previous completeness analysis on the same dataset shows overall agreement, but also highlights how different modelling assumptions for artificial sources can impact completeness estimates.

Development of analytical methods for characterizing metallurgical coke and the injectant coal chars, tars and soots formed during blast furnace operation
Creators: name: Dong, Shanning
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2008

description: Blast furnace operation with coal injection at rates greater than 200 kg coal/tonne of hot metal, a rate less than the theoretical limit, has been often found problematic. The present study aims to gain a better understanding of the fate of injectant coal in the blast furnace by means of characterizing samples extracted from working BFs and pilot-scale rigs. The NMP (1-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone) solvent has been used to extract carbons relevant to BF operation, and comparison of the Size Exclusion Chromatographic patterns of the extracts has indicated that injectant coal is not able to completely combust or even completely pyrolyze during its journey from the tuyere nose through to and out of the “raceway”, and that the secondary reactions e.g. dehydrogenation and repolymerization, of coal tars are closely associated with the formation of the “soot-like” material. This has been confirmed by combined results from analyses using Ultraviolet-fluorescence, FT-IR spectroscopy and Transmission Electron Microscope. In addition, an attempt has been made to use FT-Raman spectroscopy as a relatively rapid technique to characterize various NMP-extracted carbon samples, with the aim to differentiate between carbons from different regions of the blast furnace. Two Raman spectral ratios, i.e.ID/IG ( intensity ratio of D to G band) and IV/IG(intensity ratio of the valley between D and G band to G band), have been found to be suitable parameters to indicate the size of the graphitic crystallites and the overall homogeneity of the carbon structures, respectively. Raman spectroscopy has been found to be able to closely estimate the composition of synthetic carbon mixtures, to indicate the different time-temperature histories that carbons had experienced at tuyere level. Finally, the ID/IG vs. IV/IG mapping has demonstrated its great potential as a reliable method based on Raman spectroscopy to differentiate between various types of carbons.

description: The $B\toππ,πK$ system offers a powerful laboratory to probe strong and weak interactions. Using the isospin symmetry, we determine hadronic $B\toππ$ parameters from data where new measurements of direct CP violation in $B^0_d\toπ^0π^0$ resolve a discrete ambiguity. With the help of the $SU(3)$ flavour symmetry, the $B\toππ$ parameters can be converted into their $B\toπK$ counterparts, thereby allowing us to make predictions of observables. A particularly interesting decay is $B^0_d\toπ^0 K_{\rm S}$ as it exhibits mixing-induced CP violation. Using an isospin relation, complemented with a robust $SU(3)$ input, we calculate correlations between the direct and mixing-induced CP asymmetries of $B^0_d\toπ^0 K_{\rm S}$, which are the theoretically cleanest $B\toπK$ probes. Interestingly, they show tensions with respect to the Standard Model. Should this $B\toπK$ puzzle originate from New Physics, electroweak penguins offer an attractive scenario for new particles to enter. We present a strategy to determine the parameters characterising these topologies and obtain the state-of-the-art picture from current data. In the future, this method will allow us to reveal the $B\toπK$ dynamics and to obtain insights into the electroweak penguin sector with unprecedented precision.

description: We recast the quaternionic Gursey-Tze solution, which is a fourfold quasi-periodic self-dual Yang-Mills field with a unit instanton number per Euclidean spacetime cell, into an ordinary coordinate formulation. After performing the sum in the Euclidean time direction, we use an observation by Rossi which suggests the solution represents an arrangement with a BPS monopole per space lattice cell. This may provide a concrete realization of a monopole condensate in pure Yang-Mills theory.

description: On February 13th, 2023, 43-year-old Anthony Dwayne McRae entered the Michigan State University (MSU) campus with two handguns and proceeded to kill three students and critically wound five others [1]. The following police investigation found that McRae has had a history of mental health issues and has previously been arrested for illegally owning a firearm in 2019, being charged with a felony. As part of a plea deal, McRae pled guilty to a misdemeanor charge of owning a loaded weapon in a vehicle so that prosecutors would dismiss the felony charge [2]. McRae was on probation for 18 months with his firearm possession ban ending in May 2021. Since his mother passed away in 2020, McRae quit his job and spent his days in his bedroom. His father, whom McRae lived with, said that he quickly became “evil angry” and would refuse to get help from a doctor. “He began to really let himself go. His teeth were falling out. He stopped cutting his hair. He looked like a wolf man” said McRae’s father [3] McRae’s father believes his son obtained another firearm and hid it following his probation [3]. Officials are now trying to learn whether McRae’s firearms were legally obtained as Michigan state law prohibits high-class misdemeanor criminals from purchasing firearms [4]. Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer has already assured that she and the Democratic-controlled state legislature would take action [4]. However, students have already begun protesting at the Michigan Capitol in collaboration with activist groups such as March For Our Lives [5]. As the investigation continues, both officials and the public are left with the questions of how McRae managed to acquire two firearms following his probation, and what reason he had to target MSU [4].

description: Electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) is a well-established method of characterisation for crystalline materials. This technique can rapidly acquire and index diffraction patterns to provide phase and orientation information about the crystals on the material surface. The conventional analysis method uses signal processing based on a Hough/Radon transform to index each diffraction pattern. This method is limited to the analysis of simple geometric features and ignores subtle characteristics of diffraction patterns, such as variations in relative band intensities. A second method, developed to address the shortcomings of the Hough/Radon transform, is based on template matching of a test experimental pattern with a large library of potential patterns. In the present work, the template matching approach has been refined with a new cross correlation function that allows for a smaller library and enables a dramatic speed up in pattern indexing. Refinement of the indexed orientation is performed with a follow-up step to allow for small alterations to the best match from the library search. The orientation is further refined with rapid measurement of misorientation using whole pattern matching. The refined template matching approach is shown to be comparable in accuracy, precision and sensitivity to the Hough based method, even exceeding it in some cases, via the use of simulations and experimental data collected from a silicon single crystal and a deformed α-iron sample. The drastic speed up and pattern refinement approaches should increase the widespread utility of pattern matching approaches.

New York State Rifle and Pistol Association v. Bruen
Creators: name: Anshutz, Lainey
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023
Subjects: classificationCode: 48
subject: Law and legal studies

description: Introduction:
On June 23rd, the New York State Rifle and Pistol Association v. Bruen case saw the Supreme Court rule, 6-3, that a century-old New York law preventing some people from carrying concealed weapons in public places is unconstitutional, weakening regulations on gun ownership nationwide [1]. This decision was the first significant SCOTUS gun ruling in more than a decade. Justice Clarence Thomas previously complained that the high court permitted the Second Amendment be treated as a “disfavored right” [2]
The Case and Question:
A person must demonstrate proper cause, as defined by New York law, in order to obtain a concealed carry permit for a handgun under the requirements in New York Penal Law Section 400.00. Two men, Robert Nash and Brandon Koch challenged this law as their conceal carry license got rejected due to not having a “deemable cause” [3]. The question of whether the Second Amendment was broken when the State rejected petitioners’ requests for concealed carry permits for self-defense. The district court dismissed petitioners’ complaint and the Court of Appeals affirmed. During the court case, The District of Columbia v. Heller and McDonald v. Chicago, were brought up and examined by the judges as both cases paralleled the idea of being able to carry a gun for self defense beyond home in a public setting [4].
Ruling:
The court overturned the lower courts’ rulings, concluding that the Second and Fourteenth Amendments protected a person’s freedom to carry a pistol for self-defense outside the home and that New York State’s licensing system was unconstitutional. No other constitutional right requires a demonstration of “proper-cause” to use it. Only when there has been a history of such regulation in the United States are gun limitations considered to be legal [5]

Настоящая работа направлена на решение этой проблемы. Лабораторные работы на географических факультетах должны сопровождаться открытыми ГИС для эффективной обработки материала в сопровождении тематических карт, атласов, баз данных и литературных источникиов. Эффективность такого подхода основана на фундаментальной объективности ГИС, наглядности картографической семиотики процессов природной среды. На основе выполненного экологического анализа оценки географических ситуаций акваторий студентами могут быть составлены итоговые тематические карты для выпускной работы 4 или 5 курса. Применение методов ГИС при подготовке диплома на географических факультетах является перспективным и обоснованным научно-практическим подходом, обеспечивающим высокий уровень изучения морских и прибрежных экосистем.

NLRB overturns non-disclosure rules in employee severance agreements
Creators: name: Locher, Ryan
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023
Subjects: classificationCode: 48
subject: Law and legal studies

description: In February, the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) ruled that it is illegal for companies to require laid-off workers to sign confidentiality clauses in severance agreements, overturning two Trump-era rulings from the board that held such agreements were not illegal. The plaintiffs behind the case involved a Michigan Hospital that laid off unionized employees during the pandemic. In McLaren Macomb and Local 40 RN Staff Council, OPEIU, AFL–CIO, 372 N.L.R.B. No. 58 (2023), the board held that the hospital violated the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) by pushing employees to sign agreements including vaguely-worded confidentiality and non-disparagement clauses to collect severance compensation. The NLRA asserts employee rights to engage in “concerted activity”, which includes the right to make public statements about working conditions and file complaints with the NLRB. Employers are banned from interfering, influencing, or impeding employees that exercise their rights under the act. “It’s long been understood by the board and the courts that employers cannot ask individual employees to choose between receiving benefits and exercising their rights,” NLRB chairman, Lauren McFerran said in a statement. With the ruling reversing two previous decisions in 2020, the board, with its new Biden appointees, has continued its pro-worker direction. This comes at a time of new labor movement in America marked by unionization campaigns and strikes across various industries from Starbucks stores to College campuses. While the 23-page decision only weighs severance agreements, similar reasoning could be applied to settlement agreements too, having implications on contracts seeking to prevent employees from going public about sexual harassment or sexual assault accusations.

In this paradigm, a single bottle of 20% (v/v) alcohol was presented as the sole liquid source for 2 or 4 h starting 3 h into the dark cycle. For 3 consecutive days mice had access to alcohol for 2 h followed by a 4th day of 4 h access and 3 intervening days where alcohol was not offered. We followed this regime for 5 weeks. For most strains, 2 or 4 h alcohol intake increased over the 5-week period, with some strains demonstrating greatly increased intake. There was considerable and heritable genetic variation in alcohol consumption upon initial early and sustained weekly exposure. Two different mapping algorithms were used to identify QTLs associated with alcohol intake and only QTLs detected by both methods were considered further. Multiple suggestive QTLs for alcohol intake on chromosomes (Chrs) 2, 6, and 12 were identified for the first 4 h exposure. Suggestive QTLs for sustained intake during later weeks were identified on Chrs 4 and 8. Thirty high priority candidate genes, including Entpd2, Per3, and Fto were nominated for early and sustained alcohol intake QTLs. In addition, a suggestive QTL on Chr 15 was detected for change in 2 h alcohol intake over the duration of the study and Adcy8 was identified as a strong candidate gene. Bioinformatic analyses revealed that early and sustained alcohol intake is likely driven by genes and pathways involved in signaling, and/or immune and metabolic function, while a combination of epigenetic factors related to alcohol experience and genetic factors likely drives progressive alcohol intake.

description: We investigate the possibility of measuring the pion dispersion relation in nuclear matter through the anomalous coupling in the reaction γ- γ' π_0. It is shown that this reaction permits the study of pionic modes for space-like momenta. If the pion is softened in nuclear matter due to mixing with the delta-hole state, significant strength for this reaction is expected to move into the space-like region. Competing background processes are evaluated, and it is concluded that useful insight can be obtained experimentally, but only through a difficult exclusive measurement.

description: Recently, it has been shown how to perform the quantum hamiltonian reduction in the case of general $sl(2)$ embeddings into Lie (super)algebras, and in the case of general $osp(1|2)$ embeddings into Lie superalgebras. In another development it has been shown that when $H$ and $H'$ are both subalgebras of a Lie algebra $G$ with $H'\subset H$, then classically the $W(G,H)$ algebra can be obtained by performing a secondary hamiltonian reduction on $W(G,H')$. In this paper we show that the corresponding statement is true also for quantum hamiltonian reduction when the simple roots of $H'$ can be chosen as a subset of the simple roots of $H$. As an application, we show that the quantum secondary reductions provide a natural framework to study and explain the linearization of the $W$ algebras, as well as a great number of new realizations of $W$ algebras.

description: Oxygenic photosynthesis dominates global primary productivity ever since its evolution more than three billion years ago. While many aspects of phototrophic growth are well understood, it remains a considerable challenge to elucidate the manifold dependencies and interconnections between the diverse cellular processes that together facilitate the synthesis of new cells. Phototrophic growth involves the coordinated action of several layers of cellular functioning, ranging from the photosynthetic light reactions and the electron transport chain, to carbon-concentrating mechanisms and the assimilation of inorganic carbon. It requires the synthesis of new building blocks by cellular metabolism, protection against excessive light, as well as diurnal regulation by a circadian clock and the orchestration of gene expression and cell division. Computational modeling allows us to quantitatively describe these cellular functions and processes relevant for phototrophic growth. As yet, however, computational models are mostly confined to the inner workings of individual cellular processes, rather than describing the manifold interactions between them in the context of a living cell. Using cyanobacteria as model organisms, this contribution seeks to summarize existing computational models that are relevant to describe phototrophic growth and seeks to outline their interactions and dependencies. Our ultimate aim is to understand cellular functioning and growth as the outcome of a coordinated operation of diverse yet interconnected cellular processes.

title: Microplastics in saltmarshes: developing extraction methods and examining past accumulation
Creators: name: Ball, H
Publisher: name: Liverpool John Moores University

description: Saltmarshes are complex, dynamic environments, which play a vital role in protecting both humans and wildlife, by acting as a natural barrier against coastal erosion and flooding, and providing habitats for a diverse range of biota. However, the sources and accumulation of microplastics on saltmarshes have not yet been subject to detailed research. These environments have the potential to resolve the temporal evolution of plastic pollution since production began, and improve understanding of their fate in the coastal environment. The aim of this study is to develop a suitable extraction methodology to investigate temporal trends in the concentration and type of microplastic pollution in saltmarsh sediments, from the mid-20th century to the present day. Two cores were taken from a radionuclide-dated saltmarsh in NW England, in an attempt to evaluate the relationship between microplastic concentrations and sedimentological parameters. A novel method has been developed to optimise the extraction of microplastics from organic rich, fine grained sediments based on sequential density separations with the added benefit of reducing the use of harmful chemicals. The majority of microplastics were separated at a density range of 1.6 - 1.4 g cm-3. Microplastics were found in both cores, with pellets being the most common type, making up 80 % of the total concentration. The record of accumulation observed in both cores taken from Biggar marsh does not follow the growing historical increase in global plastic production. There is no consistent relationship between mean grain size and microplastic concentrations. Future work should focus on improving chronological control to better constrain sedimentation rates to establish microplastic influx over time.
NLRB overturns non-disclosure rules in employee severance agreements

description: In February, the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) ruled that it is illegal for companies to require laid-off workers to sign confidentiality clauses in severance agreements, overturning two Trump-era rulings from the board that held such agreements were not illegal.
The plaintiffs behind the case involved a Michigan Hospital that laid off unionized employees during the pandemic. In McLaren Macomb and Local 40 RN Staff Council, OPEIU, AFL–CIO, 372 N.L.R.B. No. 58 (2023), the board held that the hospital violated the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) by pushing employees to sign agreements including vaguely-worded confidentiality and non-disparagement clauses to collect severance compensation.
The NLRA asserts employee rights to engage in “concerted activity”, which includes the right to make public statements about working conditions and file complaints with the NLRB. Employers are banned from interfering, influencing, or impeding employees that exercise their rights under the act. “It’s long been understood by the board and the courts that employers cannot ask individual employees to choose between receiving benefits and exercising their rights,” NLRB chairman, Lauren McFerran said in a statement.
With the ruling reversing two previous decisions in 2020, the board, with its new Biden appointees, has continued its pro-worker direction. This comes at a time of new labor movement in America marked by unionization campaigns and strikes across various industries from Starbucks stores to College campuses.
While the 23-page decision only weighs severance agreements, similar reasoning could be applied to settlement agreements too, having implications on contracts seeking to prevent employees from going public about sexual harassment or sexual assault accusations.

description: The wreath product of graphs is a graph composition inspired by the notion of wreath product of groups, with interesting connections with Geometric Group Theory and Probability. This paper is devoted to the description of some degree and distance-based invariants, of large interest in Chemical Graph Theory, for a wreath product of graphs. An explicit formula is obtained for the Zagreb indices, in terms of the Zagreb indices of the factor graphs. A detailed analysis of distances in a wreath product is performed, allowing to describe the antipodal graph and to provide a formula for the Wiener index. Finally, a formula for the Szeged index is obtained. Several explicit examples are given.
