description: We present a real-time diagrammatic theory for transport through interacting quantum dots tunnel coupled to normal and superconducting leads. Our formulation describes both the equilibrium and non-equilibrium superconducting proximity effect in a quantum dot. We study a three-terminal transistor geometry, consisting of a single-level quantum dot tunnel coupled to two phase-biased superconducting leads and one voltage-biased normal lead. We compute both the Josephson current between the two superconductors and the Andreev current in the normal lead, and analyze their switching on and off as well as transitions between 0- and $π$-states as a function of gate and bias voltage. For the limit of large superconducting gaps in the leads, we describe the formation of Andreev bound states within an exact resummation of all orders in the tunnel coupling to the superconducting leads, and discuss their signature in the non-equilibrium Josephson- and Andreev- current and the quantum-dot charge.

description: Application of thermodynamics to driven systems is discussed. As particular examples, simple traffic flow models are considered. On a microscopic level, traffic flow is described by Bando's optimal velocity model in terms of accelerating and decelerating forces. It allows to introduce kinetic, potential, as well as total energy, which is the internal energy of the car system in view of thermodynamics. The latter is not conserved, although it has certain value in any of two possible stationary states corresponding either to fixed point or to limit cycle in the space of headways and velocities. On a mesoscopic level of description, the size n of car cluster is considered as a stochastic variable in master equation. Here n=0 corresponds to the fixed-point solution of the microscopic model, whereas the limit cycle is represented by coexistence of a car cluster with n>0 and free flow phase. The detailed balance holds in a stationary state just like in equilibrium liquid-gas system. It allows to define free energy of the car system and chemical potentials of the coexisting phases, as well as a relaxation to a local or global free energy minimum. In this sense the behaviour of traffic flow can be described by equilibrium thermodynamics. We find, however, that the chemical potential of the cluster phase of traffic flow depends on an outer parameter - the density of cars in the free-flow phase. It allows to distinguish between the traffic flow as a driven system and purely equilibrium systems.

description: The authors report surface-acoustic-wave-driven luminescence from a lateral p-n junction formed by molecular beam epitaxy regrowth of a modulation doped GaAs/AlGaAs quantum well on a patterned GaAs substrate. Surface-acoustic-wave-driven transport is demonstrated by peaks in the electrical current and light emission from the GaAs quantum well at the resonant frequency of the transducer. This type of junction offers high carrier mobility and scalability. The demonstration of surface-acoustic-wave luminescence is a significant step towards single-photon applications in quantum computation and quantum cryptography.

Toleration, collective identity and quests for social justice
Creators: name: Williams, Kim
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Modern liberal democracies are a composition of multi-ethnic and multi-cultural groups vying for recognition and political participation. The challenge faced by liberalism today remains the question of difference. How to articulate, respond to and incorporate difference within the liberal polity. The liberal concept of toleration is thought to be a solution to the conflict generated by difference; arising out of social circumstances involving disapproval, toleration ensures that diapproval by those in a positon to act upon it, refrain from interference. But is the practice of toleration, with its emphasis on individual action and conduct an appropriate response to difference acted out within the social struggle that is liberal politics? An emerging group of social movements, bringing their voices to the public sphere of liberal politics, are refusing to leave their cultural, ethnic, linguistic and gendered differences outside the realm of political negotiation. These movements encompass current struggles for equality and social justice, and as such, theirs are demands requiring more than the practice of toleration. Beginning with the argument for religious toleration articulated by John Locke, followed by the argument for liberty of John Stuart Mill, I trace the origins of a current model of toleration in contemporary liberal democracies. Toleration and its focus on individualism in keeping with the liberal tradition, is justified by the liberal principles of impartiality and pluralism. This individualist conception promotes and encourages a specific, liberal subjectivity, placing the justifications of state neutrality and pluralism in question. Analyzing the concept of a 'social movement', the composition and goals which make it a movement as such, lead to the question of justice and what that encompasses. Does toleration as a response to group difference lead to a just and equitable society? The emergence of new political subjects requires a new articulation of the principles and practices upholding a liberal democratic polity. Toleration as the liberal reaction to difference is an inadequate response to demands for recognition, participation and equality.

Through canonical transformations, we find the off-shell, local, gauge-covariant action up to 3-point terms, satisfying the usual field theory gauge transformations. Perturbatively, it can be extended to higher-point terms. It also gives a new gauge condition in field theory which corresponds to the Feynman-Siegel gauge on the world-sheet.

description: Little research has been conducted regarding social support programs (SSPs) for

young adults with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM). Formative research was conducted

including: in-depth interviews with individuals who have organized or lead SSPs, a

survey of young adults with T1DM, and forming a community advisory board to develop

themes and discussion points for a SSP.

Eight interviews were conducted. The perceived benefits of and barriers to

attending a SSP, the perceived barriers to managing a SSP, and topics important for

young adults were described. 38 individuals completed the survey and were included in

the analysis. The survey identified ever attended a SSP as significant in the perception of

tangible and affectionate support. Two CAB meetings resulted in six themes and

discussion points to be used as a framework for a proposed SSP.

This study suggests the benefit of SSPs for young adults and provides insight into

the role of SSPs in managing T1DM.

description: Neural text generation (data- or text-to-text) demonstrates remarkable performance when training data is abundant which for many applications is not the case. To collect a large corpus of parallel data, heuristic rules are often used but they inevitably let noise into the data, such as phrases in the output which cannot be explained by the input. Consequently, models pick up on the noise and may hallucinate--generate fluent but unsupported text. Our contribution is a simple but powerful technique to treat such hallucinations as a controllable aspect of the generated text, without dismissing any input and without modifying the model architecture. On the WikiBio corpus (Lebret et al., 2016), a particularly noisy dataset, we demonstrate the efficacy of the technique both in an automatic and in a human evaluation.

description: MOdified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND) is an interesting alternative to dark matter in extragalactic systems. We here examine the possibility that mild or even strong MOND behavior may become evident well inside the solar system, in particular near saddle points of the total gravitational potential. Whereas in Newtonian theory tidal stresses are finite at saddle points, they are expected to diverge in MOND, and to remain distinctly large inside a sizeable oblate ellipsoid around the saddle point. We work out the MOND effects using the nonrelativistic limit of the T$e$V$e$S theory, both in the perturbative nearly Newtonian regime and in the deep MOND regime. While strong MOND behavior would be a spectacular ``backyard'' vindication of the theory, pinpointing the MOND-bubbles in the setting of the realistic solar system may be difficult. Space missions, such as the LISA Pathfinder, equipped with sensitive accelerometers, may be able to explore the larger perturbative region.

description: Massive star evolution at low metallicity is closely connected to many fields in high-redshift astrophysics, but poorly understood. The Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) is a unique laboratory to study this because of its metallicity of 0.2 Zsol, its proximity, and because it is currently forming stars. We used a spectral type catalog in combination with GAIA magnitudes to calculate temperatures and luminosities of bright SMC stars. By comparing these with literature studies, we tested the validity of our method, and using GAIA data, we estimated the completeness of stars in the catalog as a function of luminosity. This allowed us to obtain a nearly complete view of the most luminous stars in the SMC. When then compared with stellar evolution predictions. We also calculated the extinction distribution, the ionizing photon production rate, and the star formation rate. Our results imply that the SMS hosts only 30 very luminous main-sequence stars (M > 40 Msol; L > 10^5 Lsol), which are far fewer than expected from the number of stars in the luminosity range 3*10^4 < L/Lsol < 3*10^5 and from the typically quoted star formation rate in the SMC. Even more striking, we find that for masses above M > 20 Msol, stars in the first half of their hydrogen-burning phase are almost absent. This mirrors a qualitatively similar peculiarity that is known for the Milky Way and Large Magellanic Cloud. This amounts to a lack of hydrogen-burning counterparts of helium-burning stars, which is more pronounced for higher luminosities. We argue that a declining star formation rate or a steep initial mass function are unlikely to be the sole explanations for the dearth of young bright stars. Instead, many of these stars might be embedded in their birth clouds, although observational evidence for this is weak. We discuss implications for cosmic reionization and the top end of the initial mass function.

The scaling power for the s-dependence of the cross section at fixed center of mass angle was found to be 8.0 +/ 0.2, strongly inconsistent with the prediction of perturbative QCD. The observed cross-section values are in fair agreement with the calculations using the handbag mechanism, in which the external photons couple to a single quark.

The structure of shock waves as a test of Brenner's modifications to the Navier-Stokes equations
Creators: name: Greenshields, Christopher J.
name: Reese, Jason M.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2006
Subjects: subject: Fluid Dynamics (physics.flu-dyn)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Brenner has recently proposed modifications to the Navier-Stokes equations that are based on theoretical arguments but supported only by experiments having a fairly limited range. These modifications relate to a diffusion of fluid volume that would be significant for flows with high density gradients. So the viscous structure of shock waves in gases should provide an excellent test case for this new model. In this paper we detail the shock structure problem and propose exponents for the gas viscosity-temperature relation based on empirical viscosity data that is independent of shock experiments. We then simulate shocks in the range Mach 1.0-12.0 using the Navier-Stokes equations, both with and without Brenner's modifications. Initial simulations showed Brenner's modifications display unphysical behaviour when the coefficient of volume diffusion exceeds the kinematic viscosity. Our subsequent analyses attribute this behaviour to both an instability to temporal disturbances and a spurious phase velocity-frequency relationship. On equating the volume diffusivity to the kinematic viscosity, however, we find the results with Brenner's modifications are significantly better than those of the standard Navier-Stokes equations, and broadly similar to those from the family of extended hydrodynamic models that includes the Burnett equations. Brenner's modifications add only two terms to the Navier-Stokes equations, and the numerical implementation is much simpler than conventional extended hydrodynamic models, particularly in respect of boundary conditions. We recommend further investigation and testing on a number of different benchmark non-equilibrium flow cases.
Laplace pressure as a surface stress in fluid vesicles

description: Consider a surface, enclosing a fixed volume, described by a free-energy depending only on the local geometry; for example, the Canham-Helfrich energy quadratic in the mean curvature describes a fluid membrane. The stress at any point on the surface is determined completely by geometry. In equilibrium, its divergence is proportional to the Laplace pressure, normal to the surface, maintaining the constraint on the volume. It is shown that this source itself can be expressed as the divergence of a position-dependent surface stress. As a consequence, the equilibrium can be described in terms of a conserved `effective' surface stress. Various non-trivial geometrical consequences of this identification are explored. In a cylindrical geometry, the cross-section can be viewed as a closed planar Euler elastic curve. With respect to an appropriate centre the effective stress itself vanishes; this provides a remarkably simple relationship between the curvature and the position along the loop. In two or higher dimensions, it is shown that the only geometry consistent with the vanishing of the effective stress is spherical. It is argued that the appropriate generalization of the loop result will involve `null' stresses.

We derive the geometry for a selection of pulsars which show interpulse emission. We point out that, in several cases, these radio pulsars should also be seen in $γ$-rays but that improved radio timing is required to aid the high-energy detection. We discuss the relationship between the width of the radio profile and its high-energy detectability. Finally, we reflect on the correlation between the spin-down energy and the radio polarisation fraction and the implications this may have for $γ$-ray emission.

description: Higgs-boson production in association with bottom quarks is an important discovery channel for supersymmetric Higgs particles at hadron colliders for large values of tan(beta). We present the complete O(alpha) electroweak and O(alpha_s) strong corrections to associated bottom-Higgs production through bb fusion in the MSSM and improve this next-to-leading-order prediction by known two-loop contributions to the Higgs self-energies, as provided by the program FeynHiggs. Choosing proper renormalization and input-parameter schemes, the bulk of the corrections (in particular the leading terms for tan(beta)) can be absorbed into an improved Born approximation. The remaining non-universal corrections are typically of the order of a few per cent. Numerical results are discussed for the benchmark scenarios SPS 1b and SPS 4.

description: Creating information systems that sense and respond to the physical environment is a complex activity, requiring technical skills from disparate areas of practice, such as computer programming and electronic circuitry. Although recent tools have lowered barriers to creating such systems, they tend to be too technical and constraining for creating systems to be a feasible everyday activity. These tools often rely on traditional interaction techniques and draw makers’ attention away from the system being built, thereby limiting makers’ physical movement, removing systems from their use context, and preventing contextualized experimentation with system designs. This thesis explores techniques for designing tools with support for making systems a more feasible everyday activity. I present the novel design and evaluation of such a tool called Pixel designed to let makers use intuitive knowledge derived from experience with the physical world, rather than technical expertise, in creating custom information systems in the course of everyday life.

description: BiHermitian geometry, discovered long ago by Gates, Hull and Rocek, is the most general sigma model target space geometry allowing for (2,2) world sheet supersymmetry. In this paper, we work out supersymmetric quantum mechanics for a biHermitian target space. We display the full supersymmetry of the model and illustrate in detail its quantization procedure. Finally, we show that the quantized model reproduces the Hodge theory for compact twisted generalized Kaehler manifolds recently developed by Gualtieri. This allows us to recover and put in a broader context the results on the biHermitian topological sigma models obtained by Kapustin and Li.

Plasma flows and sound-speed perturbations in the average supergranule

description: Supergranules create a peak in the spatial spectrum of photospheric velocity features. They have some properties of convection cells but their origin is still being debated in the literature. The time-distance helioseismology constitutes a method that is suitable for investigating the deep structure of supergranules. Our aim is to construct the model of the flows in the average supergranular cell using fully consistent time-distance inverse methodology. We used the Multi-Channel Subtractive Optimally Localised Averaging inversion method with regularisation of the cross-talk. We combined the difference and the mean travel-time averaging geometries. We applied this methodology to travel-time maps averaged over more than 10000 individual supergranular cells. These cells were detected automatically in travel-time maps computed for 64 quiet days around the disc centre. The ensemble averaging method allows us to significantly improve the signal-to-noise ratio and to obtain a clear picture of the flows in the average supergranule. We found near-surface divergent horizontal flows which quickly and monotonously weakened with depth; they became particularly weak at the depth of about 7 Mm, where they even apparently switched sign. To learn about the vertical component, we integrated the continuity equation from the surface. The derived estimates of the vertical flow depicted a sub-surface increase from about 5 m/s at the surface to about 35 m/s at the depth of about 3 Mm followed by a monotonous decrease to greater depths. The vertical flow remained positive (an upflow) and became indistinguishable from the background at the depth of about 15 Mm. We further detected a systematic flow in the longitudinal direction. The course of this systematic flow with depth agrees well with the model of the solar rotation in the sub-surface layers.

It was found that the Green function of the time-fractional diffusion-wave equation can be represented in terms of the Wright function. Furthermore, extending the methods of Lie groups in partial differential equations to the partial differential equations of fractional order it was shown that some of the group-invariant solutions of these equations can be given in terms of the Wright and the generalized Wright functions.Finally, we discuss recent results about distribution of zeros of the Wright function, its order, type and indicator function.

description: Research attention on decentralized autonomous energy systems has increased exponentially in the past three decades, as demonstrated by the absolute number of publications and the share of these studies in the corpus of energy system modelling literature. This paper shows the status quo and future modelling needs for research on local autonomous energy systems. A total of 359 studies are roughly investigated, of which a subset of 123 in detail. The studies are assessed with respect to the characteristics of their methodology and applications, in order to derive common trends and insights. Most case studies apply to middle-income countries and only focus on the supply of electricity in the residential sector. Furthermore, many of the studies are comparable regarding objectives and applied methods. Local energy autonomy is associated with high costs, leading to levelized costs of electricity of 0.41 $/kWh on average. By analysing the studies, many improvements for future studies could be identified: the studies lack an analysis of the impact of autonomous energy systems on surrounding energy systems. In addition, the robust design of autonomous energy systems requires higher time resolutions and extreme conditions. Future research should also develop methodologies to consider local stakeholders and their preferences for energy systems.

description: We generalize the definition of localization length to disordered systems driven by a time-periodic potential using a Floquet-Green function formalism. We study its dependence on the amplitude and frequency of the driving field in a one-dimensional tight-binding model with different amounts of disorder in the lattice. As compared to the autonomous system, the localization length for the driven system can increase or decrease depending on the frequency of the driving. We investigate the dependence of the localization length with the particle's energy and prove that it is always periodic. Its maximum is not necessarily at the band center as in the non-driven case. We study the adiabatic limit by introducing a phenomenological inelastic scattering rate which limits the delocalizing effect of low-frequency fields.

description: In the interaction of two electric quadrupoles, there is at short distances a contact term proportional to the second derivative of a delta function. This contact term contributes to the hyperfine splitting of bound states of two particles with spin one or higher-for example the bound states of Omega minus and a nucleus of spin one.The contact hyperfine splitting occurs in states with orbital angular momentum one(p-wave), in contrast to the Fermi contact interaction which is in s-states.We find that these contact splittings will be observable with Omega minus atoms and help measure the quadrupole moment and charge radius of the hyperon.

description: The analysis of events with isolated leptons and missing transverse momentum in the H1 experiment is discussed for the electron, muon and tau channels. In the Standard Model (SM) framework, production of real W-bosons gives rise to such topologies. Contributions to the background are dominated by QCD processes. An excess of observed signal over background presents a chance of the discovery of new physics. The results using the HERA 1994-2006 data set corresponding to 341 pb^-1 are presented. While the e- p sample shows good agreement between data and SM expectation, in e+ p collisions an excess over the SM expectation with 3.4 sigma significance is observed at high hadronic transverse momentum.

TRIM2 is Essential for the Proper Neurological Functioning and it is Antiviral Against Arenaviruses

description: Arenaviruses are single-stranded RNA viruses that can infect and cause disease in humans. It is important to study arenavirus biology as hemorrhagic fever-causing arenavirus infection is associated with a high mortality rate and can lead to neurological complications in infected humans. A siRNA screen previously performed in our lab identified novel antiviral host factors that may play a role in viral entry. Importantly, one factor identified in the RNAi screen, TRIM2 (Tripartite Motif Containing 2), was shown to be antiviral against New World Arenaviruses (NWAs) when tested with murine leukemia virus (MLV) pseudotyped with glycoproteins from NWAs and with the replication-competent Junín virus vaccine strain Candid 1 (JUNV C1). In vitro and in vivo studies carried out in our lab using Trim2-knockout mice showed that TRIM2, at minimum, requires its Filamin domain for its antiviral activity. Trim2-knockout mice carried an ataxic phenotype and the underlying neurological conditions were investigated in this mouse model which can be used to study Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease (a degenerative nerve disease that may be related to TRIM2). TRIM2 was investigated by using several different strains of arenaviruses. It was found that it plays a role in restricting NWAs but does not affect the Old World Arenaviruses (OWAs). The results found by using replication-competent viruses overlapped with the results found by using the pseudotyped viruses. The other two factors found in the screen were CLDN2 (Claudin-2) and SSU72 (SSU72 Homolog, RNA Polymerase II CTD Phosphatase). In this study, CLDN2 and SSU72 were further analyzed for their effects on NWA and OWA infections. They have the potential for being broad antiviral factors. The findings in this study might shed light upon a broader discovery for future studies with a greater range of emerging viruses.
Dynamics of a $^4$He quantum crystal in the superfluid liquid

description: The motion of helium crystals has been experimentally studied when the crystals fall in the superfluid liquid owing to gravity at temperatures above the roughening transitions where the whole crystal surface is in the atomically rough state. The rate of crystal fall at T = 1.25 K is higher than at T = 1.54 K. This is proof of the essential role of the normal component of superfluid helium in the deceleration of crystal motion. The pressure measurements in the container have shown the effect of surface kinetics on the motions of the crystal and its size. The fall of crystals with the low surface mobility at T = 1.54 K does not change the pressure significantly. The high surface mobility at T = 1.25 K results in decreasing the pressure in the container in the course of the fall of a crystal. The pressure drop exceeds the difference in the hydrostatic pressure between the initial and final positions of the crystal. After the stop, the pressure in the container relaxes to the difference mentioned above. This fact demonstrates an additional growth of the crystal in the flow of a superfluid liquid.

description: The Heider theory of cognitive dissonance in social groups, formulated recently in terms of differential equations, is generalized here for the case of asymmetric interpersonal ties. The space of initial states is penetrated by starting the time evolution several times with random initial conditions. Numerical results show the fat-tailed distribution of the time when the dissonance is removed. For small groups (N=3) we found some characteristic patterns of the long-living states. There, mutual relations of one of the pairs differ in sign.

Fully Coherent X-ray Pulses from a Regenerative Amplifier Free Electron Laser

description: We propose and analyze a novel regenerative amplifier free electron laser (FEL) to produce fully coherent x-ray pulses. The method makes use of narrow-bandwidth Bragg crystals to form an x-ray feedback loop around a relatively short undulator. Self-amplified spontaneous emission (SASE) from the leading electron bunch in a bunch train is spectrally filtered by the Bragg reflectors and is brought back to the beginning of the undulator to interact repeatedly with subsequent bunches in the bunch train. The FEL interaction with these short bunches not only amplifies the radiation intensity but also broadens its spectrum, allowing for effective transmission of the x-rays outside the crystal bandwidth. The spectral brightness of these x-ray pulses is about two to three orders of magnitude higher than that from a single-pass SASE FEL.

description: Quantum spin Hall (QSH) effect with great promise for the potential application in spintronics and quantum computing has attracted extensive research interest from both theoretical and experimental researchers. Here, we predict monolayer Ta$_2$Pd$_3$Te$_5$ can be a QSH insulator based on first-principles calculations. The interlayer binding energy in the layered van der Waals compound Ta$_2$Pd$_3$Te$_5$ is 19.6 meV/A$^2$; thus, its monolayer/thin-film structures could be readily obtained by exfoliation. The band inversion near the Fermi level ($E_F$) is an intrinsic characteristic, which happens between Ta-$5d$ and Pd-$4d$ orbitals without spin-orbit coupling (SOC). The SOC effect opens a global gap and makes the system a QSH insulator. With the $d$-$d$ band-inverted feature, the nontrivial topology in monolayer Ta$_2$Pd$_3$Te$_5$ is characterized by the time-reversal topological invariant $\mathbb Z_2=1$, which is computed by the one-dimensional (1D) Wilson loop method as implemented in our first-principles calculations. The helical edge modes are also obtained using surface Green's function method. Our calculations show that the QSH state in Ta$_2M_3$Te$_5$ ($M=$ Pd, Ni) can be tuned by external strain. These monolayers and thin films provide feasible platforms for realizing QSH effect as well as related devices.
