description: The safety improvement project for a section of US 119 across Pine Mountain in Letcher County was initiated as an interim effort to address safety issues related to roadway geometrics and specific problems related to truck traffic. The project involves sections of the road being improved over a 7.2-mile length at a cost of approximately $36 million.  The Transportation Center at the University of Kentucky was requested to perform an evaluation of the safety improvement project on US 119 to determine whether the types of improvements undertaken have affected the overall safety of the roadway. Specific objectives were as follows; 1) to determine the effects of a ban on truck traffic that was implemented in March 2001, 2) to determine if the types of improvements undertaken as part of the project are applicable to other locations, and 3) to determine if the use of flexible design was successful by allowing the Transportation Cabinet to remove the truck restriction by permitting trucks with dimensions up to the WB-50 design to travel across the mountain and be able to track within their own lane. This interim report documents crash data prior to and after implementation of the truck ban and during construction.  The section of US 119 where the truck ban was placed had a crash rate of 430C/100MVM prior to the start of the truck ban with a critical rate factor (CRF) of 1.31 for this type of road and traffic volume. The adjacent section of US 119, which has a similar cross section but less grade and sharp curvature, had a rate of 161 C/100MVM which is less than the statewide average. The injury crash rate for the truck ban section was 91 C/100MVM which is almost identical to the statewide average. There were no fatal crashes in this section. About 61 percent of the crashes in this section have involved a truck (compared to a statewide percentage of about 7 percent). Over the study period about 59 percent of the truck crashes have involved an opposite direction sideswipe with about 37 percent a single vehicle crash. The truck ban reduced the total number of crashes by about 38 percent and the number of truck crashes by 55 percent in the two years after the start of the ban. The reductions in the first year after the start of the reconstruction, along with the truck ban, were 62 percent in total crashes and 86 percent in truck crashes. There have been 15 truck crashes in the truck ban section after the start of the ban with 10 involving an out-of-state driver. The locations with the highest number of truck crashes were at locations with a sharp curve.

description: We consider a trapped Bose--Einstein condensate (BEC) with a highly quantized vortex. For the BEC with a doubly, triply or quadruply quantized vortex, the numerical calculations have shown that the Bogoliubov--de Gennes equations, which describe the fluctuation of the condensate, have complex eigenvalues. In this paper, we obtain the analytic expression of the condition for the existence of complex modes, using the method developed by Rossignoli and Kowalski [R. Rossignoli and A. M. Kowalski, Phys. Rev. A 72, 032101 (2005)] for the small coupling constant. To derive it, we make the two-mode approximation. With the derived analytic formula, we can identify the quantum number of the complex modes for each winding number of the vortex. Our result is consistent with those obtained by the numerical calculation in the case that the winding number is two, three or four. We prove that the complex modes always exist when the condensate has a highly quantized vortex.

description: We report on a deep Suzaku observation of the stellar-mass black hole GX 339-4 in outburst. A clear, strong, relativistically-shaped iron emission line from the inner accretion disk is observed. The broad-band disk reflection spectrum revealed is one of the most sensitive yet obtained from an accreting black hole. We fit the Suzaku spectra with a physically-motivated disk reflection model, blurred by a new relativistic line function in which the black hole spin parameter is a variable. This procedure yielded a black hole spin parameter of a = 0.89 +/- 0.04. Joint modeling of these Suzaku spectra and prior XMM-Newton spectra obtained in two different outburst phases yields a spin parameter of a = 0.93 +/- 0.01. The degree of consistency between these results suggests that disk reflection models allow for spin measurements that are not strongly biased by scattering effects. We suggest that the best value of the black hole spin parameter is a = 0.93 +/- 0.01 (statistical) +/- 0.04 (systematic). Although preliminary, these results represent the first direct measurement of non-zero spin in a stellar-mass black hole using relativistic line modeling.

description: Multiple methods for deriving the energy-momentum tensor for a physical theory exist in the literature. The most common methods are to use Noether's first theorem with the 4-parameter Poincaré translation, or to write the action in a curved spacetime and perform variation with respect to the metric tensor, then return to a Minkowski spacetime. These are referred to as the Noether and Hilbert (metric/ curved space/ variational) energy-momentum tensors, respectively. In electrodynamics and other simple models, the Noether and Hilbert methods yield the same result. Due to this fact, it is often asserted that these methods are generally equivalent for any theory considered, and that this gives physicists a freedom in using either method to derive an energy-momentum tensor depending on the problem at hand. $\dots$ For spin-2, the ideal candidate to check this equivalence for a more complicated model, there exist many energy-momentum tensors in the literature, none of which are gauge invariant, so it is not clear which expression one hopes to obtain from the Noether and Hilbert approaches unlike in the case of e.g. electrodynamics. It has been shown, however, that the linearized Gauss-Bonnet gravity model (second order derivatives, second rank tensor potential) has an energy-momentum tensor that is unique, gauge invariant, symmetric, conserved, and trace-free when derived from Noether's first theorem (all the same properties of the physical energy-momentum tensor of electrodynamics). This makes it the ideal candidate to check if the Noether and Hilbert methods coincide for a more complicated model. It is proven here using this model as a counterexample, by direct calculation, that the Noether and Hilbert energy-momentum tensors are not, in general, equivalent.

description: Assuming a resonant origin of the quasiperiodic oscillations observed in the X-ray neutron star binary systems, we apply a genetic algorithm method for selection of neutron star models. It was suggested that pairs of kilo-Hertz peaks in the X-ray Fourier power density spectra of some neutron stars reflect a non-linear resonance between two modes of accretion disk oscillations. In several specific models, the two modes are related to physically plausible combinations of Keplerian, vertical and radial frequencies of geodesic orbital motion. We investigate this concept for a specific neutron star source, a fixed pair of modes and various neutron star equations of state. Each neutron star model is characterized by the equation of state (EOS), rotation frequency ($Ω$) and central energy density ($ρ_\mathrm c$). These determine the spacetime structure governing geodesic motion and position dependent radial and vertical epicyclic oscillations related to the stable circular geodesics. When the parameters of neutron star model are fixed, the two considered modes imply a frequency-frequency relation which can be compared to the observation in order to eliminate the unsatisfactory sets (KR,$ρ_\mathrm c, Ω$, EOS). For the elimination we use the advanced genetic algorithm. Genetic algorithm comes out from the method of natural selection when subjects with the best adaptation to assigned conditions have best chances to survive. The chosen genetic algorithm with sexual reproduction contains one chromosome with restricted lifetime, uniform crossing and genes of type 3/3/5. For encryption of physical description (KR,$ρ_\mathrm c, Ω$, EOS) into chromosome we use the Gray code. As a fitness function we use correspondence between the observed and calculated pairs of eigenfrequencies.

description: The Landau problem on the flag manifold ${\bf F}_2 = SU(3)/U(1)\times U(1)$ is analyzed from an algebraic point of view. The involved magnetic background is induced by two U(1) abelian connections. In quantizing the theory, we show that the wavefunctions, of a non-relativistic particle living on ${\bf F}_2$, are the SU(3) Wigner ${\cal D}$-functions satisfying two constraints. Using the ${\bf F}_2$ algebraic and geometrical structures, we derive the Landau Hamiltonian as well as its energy levels. The Lowest Landau level (LLL) wavefunctions coincide with the coherent states for the mixed SU(3) representations. We discuss the quantum Hall effect for a filling factor $ν=1$. where the obtained particle density is constant and finite for a strong magnetic field. In this limit, we also show that the system behaves like an incompressible fluid. We study the semi-classical properties of the system confined in LLL. These will be used to discuss the edge excitations and construct the corresponding Wess-Zumino-Witten action.

description: Ability to read-out the state of a single confined spin lies at the heart of solid-state quantum information processing. While all-optical spin measurements using Faraday rotation has been successfully implemented in ensembles of semiconductor spins, read-out of a single semiconductor spin has only been achieved using transport measurements based on spin-charge conversion. Here, we demonstrate an all-optical dispersive measurement of the spin-state of a single electron trapped in a semiconductor quantum dot. We obtain information on the spin state through conditional Faraday rotation of a spectrally detuned optical field, induced by the polarization- and spin-selective trion (charged quantum dot) transitions. To assess the sensitivity of the technique, we use an independent resonant laser for spin-state preparation. An all-optical dispersive measurement on single spins has the important advantage of channeling the measurement back-action onto a conjugate observable, thereby allowing for repetitive or continuous quantum nondemolition (QND) read-out of the spin-state. We infer from our results that there are of order unity back-action induced spin-flip Raman scattering events within our measurement timescale. Therefore, straightforward improvements such as the use of a solid-immersion lens and higher efficiency detectors would allow for back-action evading spin measurements, without the need for a cavity.

description: Context: the observation of young stars with circumstellar disks suggests that the disks are dissipated, starting from the inner region, by the radiation of the central star and eventually by the formation of rocky planetesimals, over a time scale of several million years. It was also shown that strong UV radiation emitted by nearby massive stars can heat a circumstellar disk up to some thousand degrees, inducing the photoevaporation of the gas. This process strongly reduces the dissipation time scale. Aims: we study whether there exists a correlation between the spatial distribution of stars with circumstellar disks and the position of massive stars with spectral class earlier than B5, in the open cluster NGC 6611. Methods: we created a multiband catalog of the cluster, down to V~23, using optical data from a WFI observation at 2.2m of ESO in the BVI bands, the 2MASS public point source catalog and an archival X-ray observation made with CHANDRA/ACIS. We selected the stars with infrared excess (due to the emission of a circumstellar disk) using suitable color indices independent of extinction, and studied their spatial distribution. Results: the spatial distribution of the stars with K band excess (due to the presence of a circumstellar disk) is anti correlated with that of the massive stars: the disks are more frequent at large distances from these stars. We argue that this is in agreement with the hypothesis that the circumstellar disks are heated by the UV radiation from the massive stars and photoevaporated.

description: Removal of rain streaks from a single image is an extremely challenging problem since the rainy images often contain rain streaks of different size, shape, direction and density. Most recent methods for deraining use a deep network following a generic "encoder-decoder" architecture which captures low-level features across the initial layers and high-level features in the deeper layers. For the task of deraining, the rain streaks which are to be removed are relatively small and focusing much on global features is not an efficient way to solve the problem. To this end, we propose using an overcomplete convolutional network architecture which gives special attention in learning local structures by restraining the receptive field of filters. We combine it with U-Net so that it does not lose out on the global structures as well while focusing more on low-level features, to compute the derained image. The proposed network called, Over-and-Under Complete Deraining Network (OUCD), consists of two branches: overcomplete branch which is confined to small receptive field size in order to focus on the local structures and an undercomplete branch that has larger receptive fields to primarily focus on global structures. Extensive experiments on synthetic and real datasets demonstrate that the proposed method achieves significant improvements over the recent state-of-the-art methods.

description: Strongly quantum-confined 2D colloidal PbS nanoplatelets (NPLs) are highly interesting materials for near-infrared optoelectronic applications. Here, we use ultrafast transient optical absorption spectroscopy to study the characteristics and dynamics of photoexcited excitons in ultrathin PbS NPLs with a cubic (rock-salt) structure. The NPLs are synthesized at near room temperature from lead oleate and thiourea precursors and show an optical absorption onset at 680 nm (1.8 eV) as well as photoluminescence at 720 nm (1.7 eV). By treating PbS NPLs with CdCl2 in a post-synthetic step, their photoluminescence quantum yield is strongly enhanced from 1.4 % to 19.4 %. The surface treatment leads to an increased lead to sulfur ratio in the structures and associated reduced non-radiative recombination. Exciton-phonon interactions in pristine and CdCl2 treated PbS NPLs at frequencies of 1.8 and 2.2 THz are apparent from coherent oscillations in the measured transient absorption spectra. This study is an important step forward in unraveling and controlling the optical properties of IV-VI semiconductor NPLs.

description: In this paper we explore various interconnections between rich words, Sturmian words, and trapezoidal words. Rich words, first introduced in arXiv:0801.1656 by the second and third authors together with J. Justin and S. Widmer, constitute a new class of finite and infinite words characterized by having the maximal number of palindromic factors. Every finite Sturmian word is rich, but not conversely. Trapezoidal words were first introduced by the first author in studying the behavior of the subword complexity of finite Sturmian words. Unfortunately this property does not characterize finite Sturmian words. In this note we show that the only trapezoidal palindromes are Sturmian. More generally we show that Sturmian palindromes can be characterized either in terms of their subword complexity (the trapezoidal property) or in terms of their palindromic complexity. We also obtain a similar characterization of rich palindromes in terms of a relation between palindromic complexity and subword complexity.

Regulation of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae transcriptional activator STE12 by phosphorylation
Creators: name: Hung, Wesley Lap-Yan
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The transcriptional activator STE12 controls different developmental processes of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Different environmental signals represented by mating pheromone in haploids and nitrogen starvation in diploids initiate various signal transduction pathways, which activate the common target STE12 in the nucleus. Phosphorylation of STE12 has previously been demonstrated to accompany an increase in STE12 activity in response to mating pheromone. In this study, the phosphorylation state of STE12 was examined in cells growing in various physiological conditions. In haploid yeast, STE12 was found to be heavily phosphorylated in the absence of mating pheromone. Upon pheromone treatment of haploids, STE12 acquires two additional phosphorylations and activates expression of genes necessary for mating. The pheromone-dependent phosphorylations require an intact pheromone response pathway and nuclear localization of STE12. However, the appearance of these phosphorylations does not require the DNA binding ability of STE12, suggesting they are not a consequence of transcriptional activation. Seastar MAPK can phosphorylate recombinant STE12 specifically on most of the sites which are phosphorylated in vivo. Using this approach, I localized most of the phosphorylation sites on STE12 between amino acids 216-473, and 2 phosphorylations within the C-terminal 215 amino acids. By analyzing phosphorylation of recombinant STE12 proteins I identified phosphorylation sites at threonine525, serine261 and serine226. Phosphorylation of serine261 specifically inhibits STE12 in haploid cells and in diploid cells under normal growth conditions. Upon nitrogen starvation, serine261 becomes dephosphorylated and expression of nitrogen-starvation responsive genes is enhanced. Phosphorylation of serine226 may control cell cycle dependent regulation of pheromoneresponsive genes. An alanine mutation at serine226 increases induction of the pheromone responsive gene, FUS1 and cells carrying this mutation recover at a slower rate from pheromone-induced Gl cell cycle arrest. Phosphorylation at serine226 is dependent on the activity of the cdk CDC28 and causes instability of STE12 at Gl/S boundary of the cell division cycle. These experiments demonstrate that STE12 activity is influenced by multiple signals through specific phosphorylations.

Two candidate events pass our final selection criteria, consistent with the standard model expectation. We set upper limits on the cross section sigma(~t_1 ~tbar_1)*beta^2 as a function of the stop mass m(~t_1). Assuming beta=1, we set a 95% confidence level limit m(~t_1)>153 GeV/c^2. The limits are also applicable to the case of a third generation scalar leptoquark (LQ_3) decaying LQ_3 -> tau b.

Based on the mechanism of generating the curvature perturbations at the end of inflation, a new brane inflation paradigm was developed. The conditions for making a sufficiently large enough number of e-foldings and for generating the curvature perturbations without producing dangerous relics were also examined. Benefits of our scenario are subsequently discussed in detail.

description: Episturmian morphisms constitute a powerful tool to study episturmian words. Indeed, any episturmian word can be infinitely decomposed over the set of pure episturmian morphisms. Thus, an episturmian word can be defined by one of its morphic decompositions or, equivalently, by a certain directive word. Here we characterize pairs of words directing a common episturmian word. We also propose a way to uniquely define any episturmian word through a normalization of its directive words. As a consequence of these results, we characterize episturmian words having a unique directive word.

description: The reflectance of a particulate surface depends on the phase angle at which it is observed. This is true for laboratory measurements on powders of natural materials as well as remote observations of Solar System surfaces. Here, we measured the dependences of reflectance spectra with phase angles, of a suite of 72 meteorites in the 400-2600 nm range. The 10-30° phase angle range is investigated in order to study the contribution of Shadow Hiding Opposition Effect to the phase behavior. The behavior is then extrapolated to phase angle of 0° using a polynomial fit, in order to provide grounds for comparison across meteorite groups (enabling to remove the contribution of shadows to reflectance) as well as to provide equivalent albedo values that should be comparable to geometric albedo values derived for small bodies. We find a general behavior of increasing strength of the SHOE with lower reflectance values (whether between samples or for a given samples with absorption features). This trend provides a first order way to correct any reflectance spectra of meteorite powders measured under standard conditions (g=30) from the contribution of shadows. The g=0 degre calculated reflectance and equivalent albedos are then compared to typical values of albedos for main-belt asteroids. This reveals that among carbonaceous chondrites only Tagish Lake group, CI, and CM chondrites have equivalent albedo compatible with C- and D-type asteroids. On the other hand equivalent albedo derived with CO, CR and CK chondrites are compatible with L- and K-type asteroids. The equivalent albedo derived for ordinary chondrites is related to petrographic types, with low-grade petrographic type (type 3.6 and less) being generally darker that higher petrographic types. This works provides a framework for further understanding of the asteroids meteorite linkage when combining with colors and spectroscopy.

In order to do this, we use the free sum on convex polytopes. This operation allows the determination of the limit of generic Newton polygons for the sum $Δ=Δ_1\oplus Δ_2$ when we know the limit of generic Newton polygons for each factor. To our knowledge, these are the first results concerning the asymptotic behaviour of Newton polygons for multivariable polynomials.

description: The John A. Roebling suspension bridge, formerly the Covington-Cincinnati suspension bridge over the Ohio River was completed in 1867 and is still serving the Northern Kentucky community. The objective of this study is to assess the bridge load capacity via the dynamics-based technique. The scope of research includes finite element modeling and modal analysis, field ambient vibration testing, finite element model calibration to field test results, and bridge load-capacity evaluation. It is demonstrated that stress stiffening of cable elements plays an important role in both static and dynamic analyses of the Roebling suspension bridge. Large deflection behavior has been shown to have a limited effect on the member forces and deflections. Dominant vibration modes in the low frequency range are shown to be in the transverse direction. Higher free vibration modes of the bridge are coupled. In the structural evaluation under dead loading, the main cable area is reduced by 10% to 40% to simulate deterioration and corrosion of the cables. It is observed that the safety margin of the main cables remains fair (larger than one) even for the conservative 40% cable area reduction and extreme live loading pattern that equals 40% of uniform dead loading. Similarly, the truss member forces are within the maximum capacity.  The current load limit posting for the Roebling bridge is adequate. In case the load limit will be increased in the future, it is recommended that a detailed study be conducted to evaluate the need to strengthen the top chord truss members in order to increase the loading capacity of the truss.
WChPT analysis of twisted mass lattice data

description: We perform a Wilson Chiral Perturbation Theory (WChPT) analysis of quenched twisted mass lattice data. The data were generated by two independent groups with three different choices for the critical mass. For one choice, the so-called pion mass definition, one observes a strong curvature for small quark masses in various mesonic observables (''bending phenomenon''). Performing a combined fit to the next-to-leading (NLO) expressions, we find that WChPT describes the data very well and the fits provide very reasonable values for the low-energy parameters.

description: This deliverable presents the second version of the tools and services for Research Objects (ROs) management, resulting from the WP5 tasks. In particular, such tools and services include the latest release of ROHub platform, the services for FAIR assessment and quality assessment of Research Objects and their integration in ROHub, the extended Research Objects evolution mechanism adapted to EOSC scenarios and their implemented in ROHub, the integration of services from WP3 (text mining) and WP4 (data cubes) in ROHub, the integration of other external EOSC services in ROHub, and the latest user interfaces of ROHub. An important input for this deliverable and for the work carried out in the implementation of WP5 services is the vocabulary specification that is used in RELIANCE for the representation of the Research Objects, which has been implemented as an RO-crate profile, and which is described in D5.1. A key characteristic of the proposed RO specification is regarding the data-cube centric Research Object, as a fundamental differentiating principle of the Earth Science communities that are supported by RELIANCE. As described in D4.1, Data Cubes are becoming a reference service to provide a data access infrastructure and a reference set of tools for geospatial data management, mostly related to the access and exploitation of large collections of multi-temporal, multi-resolution satellite imagery at national/international scale. RELIANCE leverages data cubes to provide earth scientists with an efficient and scalable structured data access and discovery. Scientists are able to aggregate and describe data cubes in their Research Objects, and connect them with related resources (e.g., products generated, methods used for processing, publications generated, infrastructures used, etc.), in line with FAIR and open science principles. This document is the second version describing the design, implementation and deployment of Research Object services. This is an updated version of deliverable D5.2, therefore it includes content from D5.2 regarding previous results, plus the new content describing the results during this second period.

description: The primary focus of this report is two-fold; to provide a literature review on what has been previously learned about highway runoff in relation to karsts aquifers and to characterize a karsts highway site in Kentucky that can be used to evaluate a variety of best management practices. From research findings, the main sources of pollutants in highway runoff came from vehicles, atmospheric fallout, and precipitation. The behavior of pollutants and their interaction with the environment can dictate where they will be found and how to best minimize their effects. Although it would seem that traffic volumes would greatly influence the accumulation of pollutants on roadways, past studies have not proven this. Instead, no clear relationship between traffic and water quality has been reported. Removal processes such as air turbulence (both natural and the result of vehicles) limit the accumulation of solids and other pollutants on road surfaces, thereby obscuring the relationship between the traffic volume and runoff loads. Of the various precipitation characteristics, intensity was found to have the greatest impact on the type and quantity of pollutants found in highway runoff. This was expected due to the greater velocity traveled by runoff during high rain intensity events which does not allow suspended particles a chance to settle out and often results in greater friction along the runoff travel routes. In all experiments previously conducted, highway paving material appears to have minimal impact. Of the best management practices examined, vegetated controls received the highest recommendation because of their wide adaptability, low costs, and minimal maintenance requirements.  Water quality testing results from the location off I-65 South demonstrated very low levels of select pollutants, when compared to national averages. The existing vegetative controls in the highway median and along the drainage paths are considered to be effective at mitigating a large quantity of runoff from reaching the drainage point into sinkhole.

description: We study a two-dimensional semi-totalistic binary cell-state cellular automaton, which imitates a reversible precipitation in an abstract chemical medium. The systems exhibits a non-trivial growth and nucleation. We demonstrate how basic computational operation can be realized in the system when the propagation of the growing patterns is self-restricted by stationary localizations. We show that precipitating patterns of different morphology compete between each other and thus implement serial and non-serial logical gates.

The sacramental art of John Donne’s sermons on the penitential psalms
Creators: name: George, Philip Michael
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: John Donne was indisputably the foremost English preacher of his day. Many studies have focussed on his instructional methods; fewer have concentrated on how he tries to move his hearers. Donne especially liked preaching on the psalms. Since Christian antiquity, the seven psalms known as the penitential psalms have enjoyed a privileged place in church worship. They are central to the sacrament of penance. By Donne's time, changes in the Church of England's sacramental theology had all but eliminated the practice of penance. Nevertheless, Donne considers penance or, as it had become known, repentance, to be a crucial part of believers' lives. With his sermons on the penitential psalms Donne contributes to the vast body of literature surrounding the sacrament of penance, but his contribution is unique. He thinks that since the second person of the Trinity is identified with the Word of God, the institution of preaching God's Word is incarnational. In the sacraments, the priest ushers in the Body of Christ; in the sermon, Donne believes, the preacher's role is similar. For Donne, sermonizing is sacramental in effect. In his sermons he attempts to bring the real presence of God to his listeners. Moreover, his sermons display a "sacramental mimesis": they enact their subject matter by their very words and try to effect change in the listeners as the words are uttered. Further, Donne thinks that since God established all the ordinances of the church, none of them should be ignored. Therefore, Donne's twenty-one sermons on the penitential psalms reveal a preacher who is on the one hand a conservative churchman and on the other a startlingly innovative preacher.

Incomplete quantum process tomography and principle of maximal entropy

Year: 2008
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The main goal of this paper is to extend and apply the principle of maximum entropy (MaxEnt) to incomplete quantum process estimation tasks. We will define a so-called process entropy function being the von Neumann entropy of the state associated with the quantum process via Choi-Jamiolkowski isomorphism. It will be shown that an arbitrary process estimation experiment can be reformulated in a unified framework and MaxEnt principle can be consistently exploited. We will argue that the suggested choice for the process entropy satisfies natural list of properties and it reduces to the state MaxEnt principle, if applied to preparator devices.

description: We estimate exclusive density and asymmetry parameter dependent dispersion relations of various charged states of pions in asymmetric nuclear matter. The possibility of matter induced mixing of $π^0$ with $η$ is clearly exposed with the further mass modification of $π^0$ meson due to mixing. Asymmetry driven mass splitting and mixing amplitude are of the same order as the corresponding values in vacuum. Closed form analytic results for the mass shifts and dispersion relations with and without mixing are presented. Furthermore, we discuss the sensitivity of our results on the scalar mean field within the framework of Quantum Hadrodynamics.
