Coarse grained molecular simulation of thermodynamic properties and compatibility of polymer and plastic modified asphalt
Creators: name: Tang, Jin
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied

description: Asphalt binder is produced from crude oil and used as common construction material for pavement surface of roadways, airports, and bridge decks. Asphalt can be modified using polymer to improve engineering properties and promote use of recycled material. This study aims to develop coarse grained models of asphalt binder and conduct molecular simulation to investigate thermodynamic properties and nanostructure of asphalt binder and understand the interaction and compatibility mechanism of polymer/plastic modified asphalt using molecular dynamics (MD) simulation.The scope of work mainly includes: (1) building coarse gained dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) models of 12-components asphalt binder, and validating the model through experimental measurements at the nanoscale; (2) studying stacking behavior of asphaltene, diffusion properties of asphalt components, the relationship between aggregation of asphaltene and relative viscosity of asphalt binder, and colloidal structure of asphalt binders; (3) analyzing the compatibility between asphalt binder with different SARA (asphaltene, aromatic, resin and saturate) fractions and SBS (styrene–butadiene–styrene) polymers with different chain structures; (4) developing the generalized coarse grained molecular dynamic model for three-component asphalt binder and validating the model through density and viscosity; and (5) analyzing the effect of polyethylene (PE) structures on storage stability and self-healing potential of PE modified asphalt binder.The results of coarse grained simulation were found reasonably consistent with the laboratory data and experimental findings. Coarse grained simulation is allowed to build a greater simulation system with less computing resource and fast computing speed as compared to traditional all-atom simulation. The thermodynamic properties and compatibility of polymer/plastic modified asphalt binders can be well represented from both dissipative particle dynamics and coarse grained MD, which can help material design of modified asphalt using an integrated computational and experimental approach. Besides, coarse grained simulation can be used to observe the micro-structures inner the greater-size asphalt binder, such as asphaltene aggregation behavior, the colloidal structure of asphalt binders, confirmation of polymer chains, and so on. This study suggests that coarse grained simulation is a helpful and useful technique to investigate the fundamental chemo-physical properties of polymer modified asphalt binders at the mesoscale.

description: In this paper, we wish to investigate certain observable effects in the recently obtained wormhole solution of the EiBI theory, which generalizes the zero mass Ellis-Bronnikov wormhole of general relativity. The solutions of EiBI theory contain an extra parameter $κ$ having the inverse dimension of the cosmological constant $Λ$, and is expected to modify various general relativistic observables such as the masses of wormhole mouths, tidal forces and light deflection. A remarkable result is that a non-zero $κ$ could prevent the tidal forces in the geodesic orthonormal frame from becoming arbitrarily large near a small throat radius $(r_0 \sim {0})$ contrary to what happens near a small Schwarzschild horizon radius $(M \sim 0)$. The role of $κ$ in the flare-out and energy conditions is also analysed, which reveals that the energy conditions are violated. We show that the exotic matter in the EiBI wormhole cannot be interpreted as phantom $(ω=(p_{r}/ ρ)

description: We present technical results required for the description and understanding of correlations and fluctuations of the empirical density and current as well as diverse time-integrated and time-averaged thermodynamic currents of diffusion processes with a general time dependence on all time scales. In particular, we generalize the results from arXiv:2105.10483 (Phys. Rev. Lett., article in press), arXiv:2204.06553 (Phys. Rev. Research, article in press), and arXiv:2206.04034 to additive functionals with explicit time dependence and transient or non-ergodic overdamped diffusion. As an illustration we apply the results to two-dimensional harmonically confined overdamped diffusion in a rotational flow evolving from a non-stationary initial distribution.

description: Reducing the number of measurements required to estimate the expectation value of an observable is crucial for the variational quantum eigensolver to become competitive with state-of-the-art classical algorithms. To measure complicated observables such as a molecular electronic Hamiltonian, one of the common strategies is to partition the observable into linear combinations (fragments) of mutually commutative Pauli products. The total number of measurements for obtaining the expectation value is then proportional to the sum of variances of individual fragments. We propose a method that lowers individual fragment variances by modifying the fragments without changing the total observable expectation value. Our approach is based on adding Pauli products ("ghosts") that are compatible with members of multiple fragments. The total expectation value does not change because a sum of coefficients for each "ghost" Pauli product introduced to several fragments is zero. Yet, these additions change individual fragment variances because of the non-vanishing contributions of "ghost" Pauli products within each fragment. The proposed algorithm minimizes individual fragment variances using a classically efficient approximation of the quantum wavefunction for variance estimations. Numerical tests on a few molecular electronic Hamiltonian expectation values show several-fold reductions in the number of measurements in the "ghost" Pauli algorithm compared to those in the other recently developed techniques.

description: The single-band current-dipole Kubo formula for the dynamical conductivity of heavily doped graphene from Kupčić [Phys. Rev. B 91, 205428 (2015)] is extended to a two-band model for conduction $π$ electrons in lightly doped graphene. Using a posteriori relaxation-time approximation in the two-band quantum transport equations, with two different relaxation rates and one quasi-particle lifetime, we explain a seemingly inconsistent dependence of the dc conductivity $σ^{\rm dc}_{αα}$ of ultraclean and dirty lightly doped graphene samples on electron doping, in a way consistent with the charge continuity equation. It is also shown that the intraband contribution to the effective number of conduction electrons in $σ^{\rm dc}_{αα}$ vanishes at $T=0$ K in the ultraclean regime, but it remains finite in the dirty regime. The present model is shown to be consistent with a picture in which the intraband and interband contributions to $σ^{\rm dc}_{αα}$ are characterized by two different mobilities of conduction electrons, the values of which are well below the widely accepted value of mobility in ultraclean graphene. The dispersions of Dirac and $π$ plasmon resonances are reexamined to show that the present, relatively simple expression for the dynamical conductivity tensor can be used to study simultaneously single-particle excitations in the dc and optical conductivity and collective excitations in energy loss spectroscopy experiments.

description: In this work, we study the inflationary cosmology in modified gravity theory $f(R, T) = R + 2 λT$ ($λ$ is the modified gravity parameter) with three distinct class of inflation potentials (i) $ϕ^p e^{-αϕ}$, (ii) $(1-ϕ^p)e^{-αϕ}$ and (iii) $\frac{αϕ^2}{1+αϕ^2}$ where $α$, $p$ are the potential parameters. We have derived the Einstein equation, potential slow-roll parameters, the scalar spectral index $n_s$, tensor to scalar ratio $r$, and tensor spectral index $n_T$ in modified gravity theory. We obtain the range of $λ$ using the spectral index constraints in the parameter space of the potentials. Comparing our results with PLANCK 2018 data and WMAP data, we found out the modified gravity parameter $λ$ lies between $-0.37<λ<1.483$.

description: It has been proposed that during the early steps in the origin of life, small droplets could have formed via the segregation of molecules from complex mixtures by phase separation. These droplets could have provided chemical reaction centers. However, whether these droplets could divide and propagate is unclear. Here we examine the behavior of droplets in systems that are maintained away from thermodynamic equilibrium by an external supply of energy. In these systems, droplets grow by the addition of droplet material generated by chemical reactions. Surprisingly, we find that chemically driven droplet growth can lead to shape instabilities that trigger the division of droplets into two smaller daughters. Therefore, chemically active droplets can exhibit cycles of growth and division that resemble the proliferation of living cells. Dividing active droplets could serve as a model for prebiotic protocells, where chemical reactions in the droplet play the role of a prebiotic metabolism.

description: Symmetric product orbifold theories are valuable due to their universal features at large $N$. Here we will demonstrate that they have features that are not as pervasive: we provide evidence of strange behaviour under deformations within their moduli space. To this end, we consider the symmetric product orbifold of tensor products of $\mathcal{N}=2$ super-Virasoro minimal models, and classify them according to two criteria. The first criterion is the existence of a single-trace twisted exactly marginal operator that triggers the deformation. The second criterion is a sparseness condition on the growth of light states in the elliptic genera. In this context we encounter a strange variety: theories that obey the first criterion but the second criterion falls into a Hagedorn-like growth. We explain why this may be counter-intuitive and discuss how it might be accounted for in conformal perturbation theory. We also find a new infinite class of theories that obey both criteria, which are necessary conditions for each moduli space to contain a supergravity point.

On the Dependency Heaviness of CRAN/Bioconductor Ecosystem

description: The R package ecosystem is expanding fast and dependencies among packages in the ecosystem are becoming more complex. In this study, we explored the package dependencies from a new aspect. We applied a new metric named "dependency heaviness" which measures the number of additional strong dependencies that a package uniquely contributes to its child or downstream packages. It also measures the total reduced dependencies in the ecosystem when the role of a package is changed from a strong parent to a weak parent. We systematically studied how the dependency heaviness spreads from parent to child packages, and how it further spreads to remote downstream packages in the CRAN/Bioconductor ecosystem. We extracted top packages and key paths that majorly transmit heavy dependencies in the ecosystem. Additionally, the dependency heaviness analysis on the ecosystem has been implemented as a web-based database that provides comprehensive tools for querying dependencies of individual R packages.

description: We are developing a Lumped Element Kinetic Inductance Detector (LEKID) array able to operate in the W-band (75-110 GHz) in order to perform ground-based Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) and mm-wave astronomical observations. The W-band is close to optimal in terms of contamination of the CMB from Galactic synchrotron, free-free, and thermal interstellar dust. In this band, the atmosphere has very good transparency, allowing interesting ground-based observations with large (>30 m) telescopes, achieving high angular resolution (<0.4 arcmin). In this work we describe the startup measurements devoted to the optimization of a W-band camera/spectrometer prototype for large aperture telescopes like the 64 m SRT (Sardinia Radio Telescope). In the process of selecting the best superconducting film for the LEKID, we characterized a 40 nm thick Aluminum 2-pixel array. We measured the minimum frequency able to break CPs (i.e. $hν=2Δ\left(T_{c}\right)=3.5k_{B}T_{c}$) obtaining $ν=95.5$ GHz, that corresponds to a critical temperature of 1.31 K. This is not suitable to cover the entire W-band. For an 80 nm layer the minimum frequency decreases to 93.2 GHz, which corresponds to a critical temperature of 1.28 K; this value is still suboptimal for W-band operation. Further increase of the Al film thickness results in bad performance of the detector. We have thus considered a Titanium-Aluminum bi-layer (10 nm thick Ti + 25 nm thick Al, already tested in other laboratories), for which we measured a critical temperature of 820 mK and a cut-on frequency of 65 GHz: so this solution allows operation in the entire W-band.

description: Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) successfully perform object detection tasks, and the Con- volutional Neural Network (CNN) backbone is a commonly used feature extractor before secondary tasks such as detection, classification, or segmentation. In a DNN model, the relationship between the features learned by the model from the training data and the features leveraged by the model during test and deployment has motivated the area of feature interpretability studies. The work presented here applies equally to white-box and black-box models and to any DNN architecture. The metrics developed do not require any information beyond the feature vector generated by the feature extraction backbone. These methods are therefore the first methods capable of estimating black-box model robustness in terms of latent space complexity and the first methods capable of examining feature representations in the latent space of black box models.This work contributes the following four novel methodologies and results. First, a method for quantifying the invariance and/or equivariance of a model using the training data shows that the representation of a feature in the model impacts model performance. Second, a method for quantifying an observed domain gap in a dataset using the latent feature vectors of an object detection model is paired with pixel-level augmentation techniques to close the gap between real and synthetic data. This results in an improvement in the model’s F1 score on a test set of outliers from 0.5 to 0.9. Third, a method for visualizing and quantifying similarities of the latent manifolds of two black-box models is used to correlate similar feature representation with increase success in the transferability of gradient-based attacks. Finally, a method for examining the global complexity of decision boundaries in black-box models is presented, where more complex decision boundaries are shown to correlate with increased model robustness to gradient-based and random attacks.

description: We study the complex formation between one long polyanion chain and many short oligocation chains by computer simulations. We employ a coarse-grained bead-spring model for the polyelectrolyte chains, and model explicitly the small salt ions. We systematically vary the concentration and the length of the oligocation, and examine how the oligocations affects the chain conformation, the static structure factor, the radial and axial distribution of various charged species, and the number of bound ions in the complex. At low oligocation concentration, the polyanion has an extended structure. Upon increasing the oligocation concentration, the polyanion chain collapses and forms a compact globule, but the complex still carries a net negative charge. Once the total charge of the oligocations is equal to that of the polyanion, the collapse stops and is replaced by a slow expansion. In this regime, the net charge on the complexes is positive or neutral, depending on the microion concentration in solution. The expansion can be explained by the reduction of the oligocation bridging. We find that the behavior and the structure of the complex are largely independent of the length of oligocations, and very similar to that observed when replacing the oligocations by multivalent salt cations, and conclude that the main driving force keeping the complex together is the release of monovalent counterions and coions. We speculate on the implications of this finding for the problem of controlled oligolyte release and oligolyte substitution.

description: A city park has been built from the organic urban settlement in the Cikapundung River, Bandung, Indonesia. While the aim for the development is the revitalization of the river for being unhealthy from the waste coming from the settlement. A study on how Indonesian people, in general, treating water source, like river, lake, and ocean is revisited. Throwing waste into the river has actually become paradox with the collective mental understanding about water among Indonesians. Two scenarios of agent-based simulation is presented, to see the dynamics of organic settlement and life of the city park after being opened for public. The simulation is delivered upon the imagery of landscape taken from the satellite and drone. While experience for presented problems gives insights, the computational social laboratory also awaits for further theoretical explorations and endeavors to sharpen good policymaking.

description: In analogy to cavity optomechanics, enhancing specific sidebands of a Raman process with narrowband optical resonators would allow for parametric amplification, entanglement of light and molecular vibrations, and reduced transduction noise. We report on the demonstration of waveguide-addressable sideband-resolved surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). We realized a hybrid plasmonic-photonic resonator consisting of a 1D photonic crystal cavity decorated with a sub-20 nm gap dimer nanoantenna. Hybrid resonances in the near-IR provide designer Q-factors of 1000, and $Q/V=(λ^3/10^6)^{-1}$, with SERS signal strength on par with levels found in state-of-the-art purely plasmonic systems. We evidence Fano-lineshapes in the SERS enhancement of organic molecules, and quantitatively separate out the pump enhancement and optical reservoir contributions.

description: Autonomous driving systems (ADSs) must be tested thoroughly before they can be deployed in autonomous vehicles. High-fidelity simulators allow them to be tested against diverse scenarios, including those that are difficult to recreate in real-world testing grounds. While previous approaches have shown that test cases can be generated automatically, they tend to focus on weak oracles (e.g. reaching the destination without collisions) without assessing whether the journey itself was undertaken safely and satisfied the law. In this work, we propose LawBreaker, an automated framework for testing ADSs against real-world traffic laws, which is designed to be compatible with different scenario description languages. LawBreaker provides a rich driver-oriented specification language for describing traffic laws, and a fuzzing engine that searches for different ways of violating them by maximising specification coverage. To evaluate our approach, we implemented it for Apollo+LGSVL and specified the traffic laws of China. LawBreaker was able to find 14 violations of these laws, including 173 test cases that caused accidents.

description: We investigate a cyclic game system where organisms face an epidemic beyond being threatened by natural enemies. As a survival strategy, individuals of one out of the species usually safeguard themselves by approaching the enemies of their enemies and performing social distancing to escape contamination when an outbreak affects the neighbourhood. We simulate how the survival movement strategy to local epidemic surges must adapt if a pathogen mutation makes the disease deadlier. We study the spatial distribution of local outbreaks and observe the influence of disease mortality on individuals' spatial organisation. We show that adapting the survival movement strategy for a high mortality disease demands an altruistic behaviour of the organisms since their death risk increases. Despite weakening the disease transmission chain, which benefits the species, abandoning refuges provided by safeguarding social interaction increases the vulnerability to being eliminated in the cyclic game. Considering that not all individuals exhibit altruism, we find the relative growth in the species density as a function of the proportion of individuals behaving altruistically. Our results may be helpful for biologists and data scientists to understand how adaptive altruistic processes can affect population dynamics in complex systems.

description: Super- and subradiance are usually described in the framework of Dicke collective states, which is an ``atomic picture'' in which the electromagnetic field only provides an effective interaction between the atoms. Here, we discuss a complementary picture, in which we describe the propagation and scattering of light in the atomic medium, which provides a complex susceptibility and scatterers. This ``optical picture'' is valid in the linear-optics regime for disordered samples and is mainly relevant at low density, when the susceptibility and scattering cross-section can be computed from simple textbook formulas. In this picture, superradiance is a dispersion effect due to a single scattering event dressed by an effective refractive index, whereas subradiance is due to multiple scattering. We present numerical and experimental data supporting our interpretation.

description: After a brief introduction of formal and phenomenological progresses in the study of the high-energy limit of perturbative QCD, we present arguments supporting the statement that the inclusive emission of Higgs bosons or heavy-flavored hadrons acts as fair stabilizer of high-energy resummed differential distributions. We come out with the message that the hybrid high-energy and collinear factorization, built in term of the next-to-leading logarithmic resummation \emph{à la} BFKL and supplemented by collinear parton distributions and fragmentation functions, is a valid and powerful tool to gauge the feasibility of precision analyses of QCD in its high-energy limit.

description: Random walks simulate the randomness of objects, and are key instruments in various fields such as computer science, biology and physics. The counter part of classical random walks in quantum mechanics are the quantum walks. Quantum walk algorithms provide an exponential speedup over classical algorithms. Classical and quantum random walks can be applied in social network analysis, and can be used to define specific centrality metrics in terms of node occupation on single-layer and multilayer networks. In this paper, we applied these new centrality measures to three real criminal networks derived from an anti-mafia operation named Montagna and a multilayer network derived from them. Our aim is to (i) identify leaders in our criminal networks, (ii) study the dependence between these centralities and the degree, (iii) compare the results obtained for the real multilayer criminal network with those of a synthetic multilayer network which replicates its structure.

description: Metaheuristics, such as evolutionary algorithms have been proven to be (also theoretically, see works of Vose [1]) universal optimization methods. Skolicki and DeJong [2] researched impact of migration intervals on island models. In this article, we explore different migration intervals and amounts of migrating individuals, complementing Skolicki and DeJong’s research. In our experiments we use different ways of selecting migrants and pave the way for further research, e.g. involving different topologies and neighbourhoods. Besides sketching out the background and presenting the idea of the algorithm we show the experimental results and discuss them in detail.
Why optics needs thickness

description: We show why and when optics needs thickness as well as width or area. Wave diffraction explains the fundamental need for area or diameter of a lens or aperture to achieve some resolution or number of pixels in microscopes and cameras. Now we show that, if we know what the optics is to do, even before design, we can also deduce minimum required thickness. This limit comes from diffraction together with a novel concept called "overlapping non-locality" C that can be deduced rigorously just from the mathematical description of what the device is to do. C expresses how much the input regions for different output regions overlap. This limit applies broadly to optics from cameras to metasurfaces, and to wave systems generally.

description: Binary analysis is an important capability required for many security and software engineering applications. Consequently, there are many binary analysis techniques and tools with varied capabilities. However, testing these tools requires a large, varied binary dataset with corresponding source-level information. In this paper, we present Cornucopia, an architecture agnostic automated framework that can generate a plethora of binaries from corresponding program source by exploiting compiler optimizations and feedback-guided learning. Our evaluation shows that Cornucopia was able to generate 309K binaries across four architectures (x86, x64, ARM, MIPS) with an average of 403 binaries for each program and outperforms Bintuner, a similar technique. Our experiments revealed issues with the LLVM optimization scheduler resulting in compiler crashes ($\sim$300). Our evaluation of four popular binary analysis tools Angr, Ghidra, Idapro, and Radare, using Cornucopia generated binaries, revealed various issues with these tools. Specifically, we found 263 crashes in Angr and one memory corruption issue in Idapro. Our differential testing on the analysis results revealed various semantic bugs in these tools. We also tested machine learning tools, Asmvec, Safe, and Debin, that claim to capture binary semantics and show that they perform poorly (For instance, Debin F1 score dropped to 12.9% from reported 63.1%) on Cornucopia generated binaries. In summary, our exhaustive evaluation shows that Cornucopia is an effective mechanism to generate binaries for testing binary analysis techniques effectively.

description: We consider anisotropic black holes in the context of holographic renormalization group (RG) flows. We construct an $a$-function that is stationary at the boundary and the horizon and prove that it is also monotonic in both the exterior and the interior of the black hole. In spite of the reduced symmetry, we find that the "radial" null energy condition is sufficient to ensure the existence of this monotonic $a$-function. After constructing the $a$-function, we explore a holographic anisotropic $p$-wave superfluid state as a concrete example and numerical testing grounds. In doing so, we find that the $a$-function exhibits nontrivial oscillations in the trans-IR regime while preserving monotonicity. We find evidence that such oscillations appear to drive the trans-IR flow into nontrivial fixed points. We conclude by briefly discussing how our work fits into both the broader program of holographic RG flow and quantum information approaches to probing the black hole interior.

description: Periodically driven quantum many-body systems exhibit novel nonequilibrium states such as prethermalization, discrete time crystals, and many-body localization. Recently, the general mechanism of fractional resonances has been proposed that leads to slowing the many-body dynamics in systems with both $U(1)$ and parity symmetry. Here, we show that fractional resonance is stable under local noise models. To corroborate our finding, we numerically study the dynamics of a small-scale Bose-Hubbard model that can readily be implemented in existing noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) devices. Our findings suggest a possible pathway toward a stable nonequilibrium state of matter, with potential applications of quantum memories for quantum information processing.

description: Drogeninjizierenden Personen wird nicht selten die Freiheit entzogen, woraufhin sie ihren Drogenkonsum nach Möglichkeit fortsetzen. Angesichts der hohen Ansteckungsrate mit HIV und HCV gilt es, Schäden, die mit dem Substanzkonsum verbunden sind, zu vermindern. Eine Massnahme hierfür ist die Abgabe von sterilem Injektionsmaterial (ASIM). Ziel dieser Massnahme ist es auch, das «Äquivalenzprinzip» zwischen den Angeboten in Freiheit und im Vollzug zu wahren.
