description: Based on first-principles calculations we performed a systematic study of the energetic stability, structural characterization, and electronic properties of the fully oxidized $A_{2}B$, electrenes, with the following combinations, (i) $A$=Ca, Sr, and Ba for $B$=N; (ii) $A$=Sr and Ba for $B$=P; and Y$_{2}$C, and Ba$_{2}$As. We have considered one side oxidation of single layer electrenes $(O/A_{2}B)$, and two side oxidation of bilayer electrenes $(O/(A_{2}B)_{2}/O)$. We show that the hexagonal lattice of the pristine host is no longer the ground state structure in the oxidized systems. Our total energy results reveal an exothermic structural transition from hexagonal to tetragonal (h$\rightarrow$t) geometry, resulting in layered tetragonal structures [$(AOAB)^{t}$, and $(AO(AB)_{2}AO)^{t}$]. Phonon spectra calculations and molecular dynamic simulations show that the $O/A_{2}B$, and $O/(A_{2}B)_{2}/O$ systems, with $A$=Ba, Ca, Sr, and $B$=N, become dynamically and structurally stable upon such a h$\rightarrow$t transition. Further structural characterizations were performed based on simulations of the near edge X-ray absorption spectroscopy at the nitrogen K-edge. Finally, the electronic structure calculations and transport calculations reveal the formation of half-metallic bands spreading out through the $A$N layers, which are shielded by oxide $A$O sheets. These findings indicate that $(AOAB)^{t}$, and $(AO(AB)_{2}AO)^{t}$, (with $B$=N) are quite interesting platforms for application in spintronics; since the half-metallic channels along the $A$N or $(A\text{N})_2$ layers (core) are protected against the environment conditions by the oxidized $A\text{O}$ sheets (cover shells).

 Comment: Recorded from only a handful of localities in Angola (Boulenger 1907; Poynton and Haacke 1993). Species delineation in the genus is problematic and often dependent upon vocalization and chromosome number. We assign our material conservatively as specimens may represent either T. tandyi, T. cryptotis or even further cryptic diversity.

description: The operator-product expansion(OPE) could be employed to obtain the lowest-order, nonlocal quark scalar condensate component of gluon vacuum polarization. In particular, nonlocal quark scalar condensate can be calculated by solving Dyson-Schwinger Equation(DSE) of QCD. Then, field-theoretic aspects of the gluon vacuum polarization and nonperturbative gluon propagator will be considered in the Landau gauge of the Lorentz gauge fixing. The gluon propagator we obtained is finite in the infrared domain where the single gluon mass $m_g$ can be determined. Our results of the ratio $m_{g}/Λ_{QCD}$ the range of that from 1.33 to 1.39 agree with previous determinations for this ratio. Besides, the analytic structure of the gluon propagators from the OPE's result is explored. Our numerical analysis of the gluon' Schwinger function finds clear evidence of the positivity violations in the gluon propagator. In addition, a new method for obtaining the chemical potential dependence of the gluon vacuum polarization and the dressed gluon propagator is developed.

description: A thermoelectric generator converts a temperature difference into electrical energy. Its energy conversion efficiency is determined by the steady-state temperature distribution inside the generator. By assuming the thermoelectric material in the generator has a temperature-independent Seebeck coefficient and the generator is one-dimensional, we show that the second-order integro-differential equation describing the inside temperature distribution has a unique solution for any given ratio of external load resistance to the internal resistance. Hence the efficiency is well defined. Furthermore, we show the efficiency has an explicit formula in terms of the temperature-dependent thermal conductivity and electrical resistivity of the thermoelectric material. On the other hand, if we impose an external load resistance value, not the ratio, then the integro-differential equation can have multiple solutions.

description: The Reionization Era Bright Emission Line Survey (REBELS) is a cycle-7 ALMA Large Program (LP) that is identifying and performing a first characterization of many of the most luminous star-forming galaxies known in the z>6.5 universe. REBELS is providing this probe by systematically scanning 40 of the brightest UV-selected galaxies identified over a 7-deg**2 area for bright 158-micron [CII] and 88-micron [OIII] lines and dust-continuum emission. Selection of the 40 REBELS targets was done by combining our own and other photometric selections, each of which is subject to extensive vetting using three completely independent sets of photometry and template-fitting codes. Building on the observational strategy deployed in two pilot programs, we are increasing the number of massive interstellar medium (ISM) reservoirs known at z>6.5 by ~4-5x to >30. In this manuscript, we motivate the observational strategy deployed in the REBELS program and present initial results. Based on the 60.6 hours of ALMA observations taken in the first year of the program (November 2019 to January 2020), 18 highly significant >~7sigma [CII] lines have already been discovered, the bulk of which (13/18) also show >~3.3 sigma dust-continuum emission. These newly discovered lines more than triple the number of bright ISM-cooling lines known in the z>6.5 universe, such that the number of ALMA-derived redshifts at z>6.5 already rival Lya redshift discoveries. An analysis of the completeness of our search results vs. star formation rate (SFR) suggests an ~79% efficiency in scanning for [CII] when the SFR(UV+IR) is in excess of 28 M_sol/yr. These new LP results further demonstrate ALMA's efficiency as a "redshift machine", particularly in the epoch of reionization.

Charged Defects and Phonon Hall Effects in Ionic Crystals

description: It has been known for decades that a magnetic field can deflect phonons as they flow in response to a thermal gradient, producing a thermal Hall effect. Several recent experiments have revealed ratios of the phonon Hall conductivity to the phonon longitudinal conductivity in oxide dielectrics that are larger than $10^{-3}$ when phonon mean-free-paths exceed phonon wavelengths. At the same time $κ_{H}/κ_{L}$ is not strongly temperature dependent. We argue that these two properties together imply a mechanism related to phonon scattering from defects that break time-reversal symmetry, and we show that Lorentz forces acting on charged defects produce substantial skew-scattering amplitudes, and related thermal Hall effects that are consistent with recent observations.

description: Abstract:
Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) Project Managers bear responsibility for preparing all phases of highway projects, from initial concept to letting, while Section Engineers manage all phases of highway construction projects, from letting to completion. To perform the activities for which they are responsible, these stakeholders require knowledge of best practices for leveraging current surveying methodologies and equipment. With survey technologies having advanced significantly over the past 15-20 years, staff attrition at the Cabinet depleting its in-house surveying expertise, and contractors frequently undertaking their own surveying, acquiring this knowledge has become increasingly difficult. Drawing on a series of interviews with KYTC district and Central Office personnel, this report discusses current surveying practices at the Cabinet and the challenges many district personnel face in their efforts to procure survey data. Common difficulties encountered at the district level include equipment shortages, lack of trained survey technicians, misalignments between KYTC- and contractor-generated digital terrain models, and a dearth of Cabinet-specific training opportunities focused on surveying. Based on this review of the state of surveying practice at KYTC, this report offers numerous recommendations the Cabinet should consider for strengthening its approach to surveying. Recommendations include developing design-specific guidance, improving the in-house production of digital terrain models, creating survey training tailored to the Cabinet’s needs, acquiring additional surveying equipment, and working to improve software compatibility between KYTC and its contractors. Additionally, the report outlines current training needs and includes high-level training course outlines to address them, provides guidance Project Managers can use when determining what survey services are needed on a project, and summarizes — by district — KYTC’s current survey equipment inventory.

description: (Oral talk at the MSE 2024 conference in Darmstadt, Germany, September 2024) Research on phase separation in metallic glasses (MGs) is motivated by a fundamental interest in the structure and properties of disordered materials and their potential for structural and functional applications. The structure and physical properties of phase separated MGs have characteristics different from those of other MGs. Recent reports have demonstrated successful achievements in the preparation of phase-separated MGs, which offer a unique opportunity to design composites or alloys with hierarchical microstructures at different length scales.

In this presentation, we will discuss the results of our recent research work on the design of new Zr-based MG composition with nanoscale phase separation for future biocompatible applications. The microstructure and thermal property analysis indicate that the glasses exhibit a typical liquid phase separation-induced two-glassy phase with droplet-like microstructures in the form of nano-amorphous domains. The microstructure of phase separated nano-amorphous domains has been confirmed by sophisticated experimental characterization techniques including transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and atom probe tomography (APT). The spatial atomic distribution analysis by APT revealed discontinuities for the main elements and the formation of nanometer size clusters suggesting the occurrence of phase separation in these glasses.
Capillary condensation of saturated vapor in a corner formed by two intersecting walls
Creators: name: Benilov, E. S.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2021
Subjects: subject: Soft Condensed Matter (cond-mat.soft)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The dynamics of saturated vapor between two intersecting walls is examined. It is shown that, if the angle $ϕ$ between the walls is sufficiently small, the vapor becomes unstable, and spontaneous condensation occurs in the corner, similar to the so-called capillary condensation of vapor into a porous medium. As a result, an ever-growing liquid meniscus develops near the corner. The diffuse-interface model and the lubrication approximation are used to demonstrate that the meniscus grows if and only if $ϕ+2θ<π$, where $θ$ is the contact angle corresponding to the fluid/solid combination under consideration. This criterion has a simple physical explanation: if it holds, the meniscus surface is concave -- hence, the Kelvin effect causes condensation. Once the thickness of the condensate exceeds by an order of magnitude the characteristic interfacial thickness, the volume of the meniscus starts to grow linearly with time. If the near-vertex region of the corner is smoothed, the instability can be triggered off only by finite-size perturbations, such that include enough liquid to cover the smoothed aria by a microscopically-thin liquid film.
Integrating CRASH, Hospital, and Roadway Data to Investigate the Effect of Cable Median Barriers on Injury Severity

description: Executive Summary
In median-involved crashes, the odds of a police-reported injury were estimated to be 42% lower on road segments with a cable median barrier (CMB) than on road segments with a concrete median barrier, and the difference was statistically significant [odds ratio 0.58, 95% confidence interval (0.43, 0.78)].
In median-involved crashes, the odds of having an injury severity score of 8 or greater were estimated to be 34% higher on road segments with a CMB than on road segments with a concrete median barrier; however, the difference was not statistically significant [odds ratio 1.34, 95% confidence interval (0.67, 2.66).
In median-involved crashes, the odds of having a police-reported injury were estimated to be 48% lower on road segments with a CMB than on road segments with a no median barrier; however, the difference was not statistically significant [odds ratio 0.52, 95% confidence interval (0.20, 1.31).
In median-involved crashes, the odds of having an injury severity score of 4 or greater were estimated to be 65% lower on road segments with a CMB than on road segments with a no median barrier; however, the difference was not statistically significant [odds ratio 0.35, 95% confidence interval (0.04, 3.02).
Sample size (numbers of vehicles and occupants involved in median-involved crashes for each median barrier type) was smaller than anticipated, resulting in low statistical power to assess differences in injury risk for different median barrier types.
The findings raise the possibility that in some cases conclusions based on physician-based injury severity measures differ from conclusions based on police-reported injury severity measures
The question of differences in police- vs. physician-reported injury severity measures bears further investigation using approaches that address lessons learned from this pilot study.
This study did not address the question of which type of median barrier is most effective at preventing crashes altogether; it only assessed the risk of injury in crashes that occurred and were reported by police

description: We develop a description of defect loops in three-dimensional active nematics based on a multipole expansion of the far-field director and show how this leads to a self-dynamics dependent on the loop's geometric type. The dipole term leads to active stresses that generate a global self-propulsion for splay and bend loops. The quadrupole moment is non-zero only for non-planar loops and generates a net `active torque', such that defect loops are both self-motile and self-orienting. Our analysis identifies right- and left-handed twist loops as the only force and torque free geometries, suggesting a mechanism for generating an excess of twist loops. Finally, we determine the Stokesian flows created by defect loops and describe qualitatively their hydrodynamics.

description: We study the black hole information problem within a semiclassically gravitating AdS$_d$ black hole coupled to and in equilibrium with a $d$-dimensional thermal conformal bath. We deform the bath state by a relevant scalar deformation, triggering a holographic RG flow whose "trans-IR" region deforms from a Schwarzschild geometry to a Kasner universe. The setup manifests two independent scales which control both the extent of coarse-graining and the entanglement dynamics when counting Hawking degrees of freedom in the bath. In tuning either, we find nontrivial changes to the Page time and Page curve. We consequently view the Page curve as a probe of the holographic RG flow, with a higher Page time manifesting as a result of increased coarse-graining of the bath degrees of freedom.

description: The Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) universality class describes the coarse-grained behavior of a wealth of classical stochastic models. Surprisingly, it was recently conjectured to also describe spin transport in the one-dimensional quantum Heisenberg model. We test this conjecture by experimentally probing transport in a cold-atom quantum simulator via the relaxation of domain walls in spin chains of up to 50 spins. We find that domain-wall relaxation is indeed governed by the KPZ dynamical exponent $z = 3/2$, and that the occurrence of KPZ scaling requires both integrability and a non-abelian SU(2) symmetry. Finally, we leverage the single-spin-sensitive detection enabled by the quantum-gas microscope to measure a novel observable based on spin-transport statistics, which yields a clear signature of the non-linearity that is a hallmark of KPZ universality.

Brain over Brawn: Using a Stereo Camera to Detect, Track, and Intercept a Faster UAV by Reconstructing the Intruder's Trajectory

description: This paper presents our approach to intercepting a faster intruder UAV, inspired by the MBZIRC 2020 Challenge 1. By utilizing a priori knowledge of the shape of the intruder's trajectory, we can calculate an interception point. Target tracking is based on image processing by a YOLOv3 Tiny convolutional neural network, combined with depth calculation using a gimbal-mounted ZED Mini stereo camera. We use RGB and depth data from the camera, devising a noise-reducing histogram-filter to extract the target's 3D position. Obtained 3D measurements of target's position are used to calculate the position, orientation, and size of a figure-eight shaped trajectory, which we approximate using a Bernoulli lemniscate. Once the approximation is deemed sufficiently precise, as measured by the distance between observations and estimate, we calculate an interception point to position the interceptor UAV directly on the intruder's path. Our method, which we have significantly improved based on the experience gathered during the MBZIRC competition, has been validated in simulation and through field experiments. Our results confirm that we have developed an efficient, visual-perception module that can extract information describing the intruder UAV's motion with precision sufficient to support interception planning. In a majority of our simulated encounters, we can track and intercept a target that moves 30% faster than the interceptor. Corresponding tests in an unstructured environment yielded 9 out of 12 successful results.

Two-player quantum games: When player strategies are via directional choices

description: We propose a scheme for a quantum game based on performing an EPR type experiment and in which each player's spatial directional choices are considered as their strategies. A classical mixed-strategy game is recovered by restricting the players' choices to specific spatial trajectories. We show that for players' directional choices for which the Bell-CHSH inequality is violated, the players' payoffs in the quantum game have no mapping within the classical mixed-strategy game. The scheme provides a more direct link between classical and quantum games.

description: Ultrasonic cavitation is being used in medical applications as a way to influence matter, such as tissue or drug vehicles, on a micro-scale. Oscillating or collapsing cavitation bubbles provide transient mechanical force fields, which can, e.g., fractionate soft tissue or even disintegrate solid objects such as calculi. Our recent study demonstrates that an ultrasonically actuated medical needle can create cavitation phenomena inside water. However, the presence and behavior of cavitation and related bioeffects in diagnostic and therapeutic applications with ultrasonically actuated needles are not known. Using simulations, we demonstrate numerically and experimentally the cavitation phenomena near ultrasonically actuated needles. We define the cavitation onset within a liver tissue model with different total acoustic power levels. We directly visualize and quantitatively characterize cavitation events generated by the ultrasonic needle in thin fresh bovine liver sections enabled by high speed imaging. On a qualitative basis, the numerical and experimental results show a close resemblance in threshold and spatial distribution of cavitation. These findings are crucial for developing new methods and technologies employing ultrasonically actuated fine-needles such as ultrasound-enhanced fine-needle biopsy, drug delivery and histotripsy.
