description: Dieser Beitrag erörtert die praktischen und begrifflichen Zusammenhänge zwischen der Archäologie postindustrieller Gesellschaften und dem Prozess des Reverse Engineering. Das Augenmerk hierbei liegt auf den diesen Feldern gemeinsamen Themen, wie dem Verlust technischer Expertise und dem zunehmenden Problem der Obsoleszenz bei der technologischen Infrastruktur und der Aufbewahrung digitaler Daten. Zur Ausleuchtung der Zusammenhänge werden mehrere Fallbeispiele herangezogen, unter anderem die impliziten Anwendungen von Reverse Engineering in der Archäologie – zum Beispiel die chemische Analyse ägyptischer Mummifizierungsprozesse und alchemistischer Gerätschaften – sowie der Gebrauch archäologischer Konzepte und Terminologie im Bereich des Reverse Engineering. Die Auffassung der Archäologie als Prozess des Reverse Engineering wird anhand von Militärflugzeugen, postindustriellen Landschaften und sogenannten „non-places“ untersucht. Hierbei wird demonstriert, wie schwierig der Folgeschluss von der Technologie der Vergangenheit auf vergangene Formen menschlicher Aktivität und menschlichen Wissens ist, vor allem wenn es sich um implizites oder „stilles“ Wissen handelt. Der Schlussteil des Beitrags bespricht die Möglichkeiten und die Grenzen der Zusammenarbeit zwischen dem Bereich des Reverse Engineering und der Archäologie der modernen Welt und wirft Fragen zur weiteren Debatte auf.

description: Preeclampsia is clinically defined by hypertension and proteinuria, with or without pathologic edema that occurs after 20 weeks' gestation, but can also present up to 4-6 weeks post-partum. Worldwide, incidence of preeclampsia is 5-14 percent of all pregnancies, while severe preeclampsia can develop to about 25 percent of all cases of preeclampsia. Severe preeclampsia is a pathology characterized by endothelial dysfunction that can often be complicated, and thus may lead to liver and renal failure, disseminated intravascular coagulopathy (DIC), and central nervous system (CNS) abnormalities. Worldwide, preeclampsia and eclampsia is responsible for about 14 percent of maternal deaths per year. We present a case, from our clinic, which has had serious complications after birth and that ended with the death of the patient. Despite the adequate management with the timely diagnosis and therapy, patient died ten days after Caesarean delivery.

description: Tri-bimaximal neutrino mixing may arise from see-saw models based on family symmetry which is spontaneously broken by flavons with particular vacuum alignments. However recent analyses hint that tri-bimaximal mixing may be insensitive to the precise form of vacuum alignment. In this paper we derive approximate analytic results which express the deviations from tri-bimaximal neutrino mixing due to vacuum misalignment. We also relate vacuum misalignment to departures from form dominance, corresponding to deviations from the real orthogonal $R$ matrix, where such corrections are necessary to allow for successful leptogenesis. The analytic results show that the corrections to tri-bimaximal mixing and form dominance depend on the pattern of the vacuum misalignment, with the two effects being uncorrelated.

Quark and lepton mixing angles with a dodeca-symmetry

description: The discrete symmetry D_12 at the electroweak scale is used to fix the quark and lepton mixing angles. At the leading order, the Cabbibo angle theta_C is 15^o, and the PMNS matrix is of a bi-dodeca-mixing form giving the Solar-neutrino angle theta_sol=30^o. Thus, there results the relation theta_sol+theta_C ~ 45^o. Out of discrete vacua, a certain vacuum is chosen for this assignment to be consistent with the dodeca-symmetry. A shift of theta_C from 15^o to 13.14^o might arise from a small breaking of the dodeca-symmetry. The spontaneous breaking leading to the required electroweak vacuum is made possible by introducing an additional parity in an effective field approach or by realizing the electroweak dodeca-symmetry explicitly at a high energy scale. At the vacuum we chose Arg.Det.M_q is nonzero, and hence a solution of the strong CP problem invites a very light axion at a high energy scale. We also comment how the next level corrections can fit the mixing angles to the observed values.

Electric and thermoelectric transport in graphene and helical metal in finite magnetic fields

Year: 2011

description: We study electrical and thermoelectric transport properties of the surface state of the topological insulator and graphene in the presence of randomly distributed impurities. For finite impurity strength, the dependence of the transport coefficients as a function of gate voltage, magnetic field and impurity potential, are obtained numerically. In the limit of zero impurities (clean limit), analytic results for the peak values of the magneto-oscillations in thermopower are derived. Analogous with the conventional two dimensional electron gas, the peak values are universal in the clean limit. Unlike graphene, in topological insulators the coupling of the electron spin to its momentum leads to a dependence of the transport coefficients on the gyromagnetic ratio ($g$). We compare our results with data on graphene and identify unique signatures expected in topological insulators due to the magnetoelectric coupling.

description: In this article, we investigate the next-to-leading order contribution of the higher-twist Feynman diagrams to the large-$p_T$ inclusive pion production cross section in proton-proton collisions and present the general formulae for the higher-twist differential cross sections in the case of the running coupling and frozen coupling approaches. We compared the resummed next-to-leading order higher-twist cross sections with the ones obtained in the framework of the frozen coupling approach and leading-twist cross section. The structure of infrared renormalon singularities of the higher twist subprocess cross section and it's resummed expression (the Borel sum) are found. It is shown that the resummed result depends on the choice of the meson wave functions used in the calculations. We discuss the phenomenological consequences of possible higher-twist contributions to the meson production in proton-proton collisions in next-to-leading order at RHIC.

Explicit algorithms are presented for the preparation of the state of a neutron or a proton as resulting from the composition of their quark constituents. We estimate the computational resources required for such a simulation and design a photonic network for its implementation. Moreover, we highlight that current work on three-body interactions in lattices of interacting qubits, combined with the measurement-based paradigm for quantum information processing, may also be suitable for the implementation of these nucleonic spin states.

Coarsening Kinetics of a Two Dimensional O(2) Ginzburg-Landau Model: Effect of Reversible Mode Coupling

description: We investigate, via numerical simulations, the phase ordering kinetics of a two- dimensional soft-spin O(2) Ginzburg-Landau model when a reversible mode cou- pling is included via the conserved conjugate momentum of the spin order parameter (the model E). Coarsening of the system, when quenched from a dis- ordered state to zero temperature, is observed to be enhanced by the existence of the mode coupling terms. The growth of the characteristic length scale L(t) exhibits an effective super-diffusive growth exponent that can be interpreted as a positive logarithmic-like correction to a diffusive growth, i.e., L(t) ~ (t ln t)^{1/2}. In order to understand this behavior, we introduced a simple phenomenological model of coarsening based on the annihilation dynamics of a vortex-antivortex pair, incorporating the effect of vortex inertia and logarithmically divergent mobility of the vortex. With a suitable choice of the parameters, numerical solutions of the simple model can fit the full simulation results very adequately. The effective growth exponent in the early time stage is larger due to the effect of the vortex inertia, which crosses over into late time stage characterized by positive logarithmic correction to a diffusive growth. We also investigated the non-equilibrium autocorrelation function from which the so called λ exponent can be extracted. We get λ = 1.99(2) which is distinctively larger than the value of λ = 1.17 for the purely dissipative model-A dynamics of non-conserved O(2) models.

Scaffold-mediated Nucleation of Protein Signaling Complexes: Elementary Principles

Year: 2011
Subjects: subject: Molecular Networks (q-bio.MN)

description: Proteins with multiple binding sites play important roles in cell signaling systems by nucleating protein complexes in which, for example, enzymes and substrates are co-localized. Proteins that specialize in this function are called by a variety names, including adapter, linker and scaffold. Scaffold-mediated nucleation of protein complexes can be either constitutive or induced. Induced nucleation is commonly mediated by a docking site on a scaffold that is activated by phosphorylation. Here, by considering minimalist mathematical models, which recapitulate scaffold effects seen in more mechanistically detailed models, we obtain analytical and numerical results that provide insights into scaffold function. These results elucidate how recruitment of a pair of ligands to a scaffold depends on the concentrations of the ligands, on the binding constants for ligand-scaffold interactions, on binding cooperativity, and on the milieu of the scaffold, as ligand recruitment is affected by competitive ligands and decoy receptors. For the case of a bivalent scaffold, we obtain an expression for the unique scaffold concentration that maximally recruits a pair of monovalent ligands. Through simulations, we demonstrate that a bivalent scaffold can nucleate distinct sets of ligands to equivalent extents when the scaffold is present at different concentrations. Thus, the function of a scaffold can potentially change qualitatively with a change in copy number. We also demonstrate how a scaffold can change the catalytic efficiency of an enzyme and the sensitivity of the rate of reaction to substrate concentration. The results presented here should be useful for understanding scaffold function and for engineering scaffolds to have desired properties.

description: It is suggested that quantum mechanics is not fundamental but emerges from classical information theory applied to causal horizons. The path integral quantization and quantum randomness can be derived by considering information loss of fields or particles crossing Rindler horizons for accelerating observers. This implies that information is one of the fundamental roots of all physical phenomena. The connection between this theory and Verlinde's entropic gravity theory is also investigated.

description: The semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering of electrons off the deuteron ($^2H \equiv D$) and $^3He$ with detection of slow protons and deuterons, respectively, i.e. the processes $D(e,e'p)X$ and $^3He(e,e'D)X$, are calculated within the spectator mechanism, taking into account the final state interaction of the hadronizing quark with the detected protons and deuterons, respectively. It is shown that by a proper choice of the kinematics the origin of the EMC effect and the details of the interaction between the hadronizing quark and the nuclear medium can be investigated at a level which cannot be reached by inclusive deep inelastic scattering. A comparison of our calculations with recently available experimental data on the process $D(e,e'p)X$ shows a good agreement in the backward hemisphere of the emitted nucleons. Theoretical predictions at the energies thyat will be available at the upgraded Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facilty are presented, and the possibility to investigate the proposed semi-inclusive processes at electron-ion colliders is briefly discussed.

description: Employing analytical methods and quantum transport simulations we investigate the relaxation of quasiparticle spins in graphene proximitized by an s-wave superconductor in the presence of resonant magnetic and spin-orbit active impurities. Off resonance, the relaxation increases with decreasing temperature when electrons scatter off magnetic impurities—the Hebel-Slichter effect—and decreases when impurities have spin-orbit coupling. This distinct temperature dependence (not present in the normal state) uniquely discriminates between the two scattering mechanisms. However, we show that the Hebel-Slichter picture breaks down at resonances. The emergence of Yu-Shiba-Rusinov bound states within the superconducting gap redistributes the spectral weight away from magnetic resonances. The result is opposite to the Hebel-Slichter expectation: the spin relaxation decreases with decreasing temperature. Our findings hold for generic s-wave superconductors with resonant magnetic impurities, but also, as we show, for resonant magnetic Josephson junctions.

Drivers of biodiversity conservation in sacred groves : a comparative study of three sacred groves in South-west Nigeria
Creators: name: Adeyanju, Samuel Oluwanisola
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2020

description: Globally, sacred groves represent a traditional form of community-based conservation, recognized for their capacity to preserve areas that are of cultural and religious importance to local people. In most cases, the entire community takes on a watchdog role to guard against encroachment and unauthorized access either by its members or outsiders who might desecrate such sites. This thesis investigates the effects of different governance arrangements of three sacred groves in south-west Nigeria-Osun Osogbo Sacred Grove (UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2005), Idanre Hills (Nigerian National Monument) and Igbo Olodunmare (local cultural site)-on their religio-cultural, socio-economic and ecological benefits and contribution to biodiversity conservation. Using a mixed-method design of semi-structured questionnaires (n=167), key informant interviews (n=2), and focus groups (n=7), I collected data from local community members, traditional priests, sacred grove devotees and tourism officials. The results identified that varying religio-cultural benefits serve as the primary motivation to preserve the sacred groves, although they differ from grove to grove. Economic gains from tourism (employment provision and income generation activities associated with the groves) also emerged as a significant driver for conserving biodiversity in sacred groves. I found that the management of the groves as a result of government involvement (assigning staff to the sites, special laws, and regulations) and international designation (UNESCO World Heritage Site) had positive impacts on levels of protection. I conclude that the co-existence of community-based conservation through a system of established traditional norms and prohibitions, as well as formal government legislation and management, offers assurance for long-term preservation of sacred groves and their biodiversity. I discuss the implications of these observations and offer suggestions to improve community engagement, uphold traditional ecological knowledge, develop ecotourism and Payment for Ecosystem Services (PES) schemes within the groves.

description: Extensive optical and near-infrared (NIR) observations of the type IIb supernova 2008ax are presented, covering the first year after the explosion. The light curve is mostly similar in shape to that of the prototypical type IIb SN 1993J, but shows a slightly faster decline rate at late phases and lacks the prominent narrow early-time peak of SN 1993J. From the bolometric light curve and ejecta expansion velocities, we estimate that about 0.07-0.15 solar masses of 56Ni were produced during the explosion and that the total ejecta mass was between 2 and 5 solar masses, with a kinetic energy of at least 10^51 erg. The spectral evolution of SN 2008ax is similar to that of the type Ib SN 2007Y, exhibiting high-velocity Ca II features at early phases and signs of ejecta-wind interaction from H-alpha observations at late times. NIR spectra show strong He I lines similar to the type Ib SN 1999ex, and a large number of emission features at late times. Particularly interesting are the strong, double-peaked He I lines in late NIR spectra, which - together with double-peaked [O I] emission in late optical spectra - provide clues for asymmetry and large-scale Ni mixing in the ejecta.

description: Space resolved concentrations of helium He metastable atoms in an atmospheric pressure radio-frequency micro-plasma jet were measured using tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy. The spatial profile of metastable atoms in the volume between the electrodes was deduced for various electrode gap distances. Density profiles reveal the sheath structure and reflect the plasma excitation distribution, as well as the dominance of the alpha-mode discharge. Gap width variations show the transition from a normal glow plasma to a pure sheath discharge. In order to analyze and verify the experimentally observed profiles of the metastable atoms a 2-dimensional simulation model was set up. Applying an appropriate He/N2/O2 chemistry model the correlation between the metastable profiles and the underlying excitation mechanisms was obtained.

description: We show theoretically that the sudden application of an appropriate ac field to correlated lattice fermions flips the band structure and effectively switches the interaction from repulsive to attractive. The nonadiabatically driven system is characterized by a negative temperature with a population inversion. We numerically demonstrate the converted interaction in an ac-driven Hubbard model with the nonequilibrium dynamical mean-field theory solved by the continuous-time quantum Monte Carlo method. Based on this, we propose an efficient ramp-up protocol for ac fields that can suppress heating, which leads to an effectively attractive Hubbard model with a temperature below the superconducting transition temperature of the equilibrium system.

description: We present an interferometric study of the continuum surface of the red supergiant star Betelgeuse at 11.15 microns wavelength, using data obtained with the Berkeley Infrared Spatial Interferometer each year between 2006 and 2010. These data allow an investigation of an optically thick layer within 1.4 stellar radii of the photosphere. The layer has an optical depth of ~1 at 11.15 microns, and varies in temperature between 1900 K and 2800 K and in outer radius between 1.16 and 1.36 stellar radii. Electron-hydrogen atom collisions contribute significantly to the opacity of the layer. The layer has a non-uniform intensity distribution that changes between observing epochs. These results indicate that large-scale surface convective activity strongly influences the dynamics of the inner atmosphere of Betelgeuse, and mass-loss processes.

description: Recently Lewis Bowen introduced a notion of entropy for measure-preserving actions of a countable sofic group on a standard probability space admitting a generating partition with finite entropy. By applying an operator algebra perspective we develop a more general approach to sofic entropy which produces both measure and topological dynamical invariants, and we establish the variational principle in this context. In the case of residually finite groups we use the variational principle to compute the topological entropy of principal algebraic actions whose defining group ring element is invertible in the full group C*-algebra.

A machine learning approach to understanding the effects of climate change and competition on growth of coihue (Nothofagus dombeyi) and lenga (Nothofagus pumilio) species in northern Patagonia, Argentina

description: The ongoing process of a warming climate is impacting forests. A warmer climate scenario alters the availability of growth resources. The more resource availability decreases, the more trees compete, and that additional stress effect on growth pushes trees usually to their survival limits. Competition might act in combination with climate in exacerbating the impacts of climate change on forests. The fact that competition interacts with climate, site and other factors complicate simulation of tree growth responses to climate change with a traditional modeling method. Nevertheless, advances in machine learning algorithms have brought tools with scientific applications, such as algorithmic modeling. Unlike traditional statistical modeling, ML algorithms are more flexible in dealing with nonlinear relationships between variables. In this study, the concept of algorithmic modeling was used to investigate the role of competition on tree growth responses to climate change. Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) algorithms have an upgraded architecture that can retain past information, which helps capture tree growth unidirectional flow. In this regard, I designed the Tree Growth Prediction App to introduce the RNN algorithm as a new modeling technique. To test the App, I decided to study coihue (Nothofagus dombeyi) and lenga (Nothofagus pumilio) growth responses in northern Patagonia, where a warmer climate scenario is being predicted. Results from the RNN tree growth model indicate that the size-asymmetric competition effect is more important than the climate effect on growth. N. dombeyi, as the larger individual species, has a competitive advantage over N. pumilio in wet sites, but N. pumilio might withstand water competition as a result of a shallow root system that can pre-empt water supplies from N. dombeyi with deeper roots. Overall, the results of competition importance to the climate effect on tree growth are essential information to more realistically project forest responses to climate change. Furthermore, the Tree Growth Prediction App is a methodological contribution to a current generation of advanced models that help researchers better understand tree growth responses to climate change.
Spherical Gravitating Condensers in General Relativity

description: By a spherical gravitating condenser we mean two concentric charged shells made of perfect fluids restricted by the condition that the electric field is nonvanishing only between the shells. Flat space is assumed inside the inner shell. By using Israel's formalism we first analyze the general system of N shells and then concentrate on the two-shell condensers. Energy conditions are taken into account; physically interesting cases are summarized in two tables, but also more exotic situations in which, for example, the inner shell may occur below the inner horizon of the corresponding Reissner-Nordström geometry or the spacetime is curved only inside the condenser are considered. Classical limits are mentioned.

description: The question of whether quantum real-time one-counter automata (rtQ1CAs) can outperform their probabilistic counterparts has been open for more than a decade. We provide an affirmative answer to this question, by demonstrating a non-context-free language that can be recognized with perfect soundness by a rtQ1CA. This is the first demonstration of the superiority of a quantum model to the corresponding classical one in the real-time case with an error bound less than 1. We also introduce a generalization of the rtQ1CA, the quantum one-way one-counter automaton (1Q1CA), and show that they too are superior to the corresponding family of probabilistic machines. For this purpose, we provide general definitions of these models that reflect the modern approach to the definition of quantum finite automata, and point out some problems with previous results. We identify several remaining open problems.

description: We study Kustin-Miller unprojections between Calabi-Yau threefolds or more precisely the geometric transitions they induce. We use them to connect many families of Calabi-Yau threefolds with Picard number one to the web of Calabi Yau complete intersections. This enables us to find explicit description of a few known families of Calabi-Yau threefolds in terms of equations. Moreover we find two new examples of Calabi-Yau threefolds with Picard group of rank one, described by Pfaffian equations in weighted projective spaces.

description: This paper presents an optimum technique based on the least squares method for the derivation of the bubble functions to enrich the standard linear finite elements employed in the formulation of Galerkin weighted-residual statements. The element-level linear shape functions are enhanced with supplementary polynomial bubble functions with undetermined coefficients. The best least squares minimization of the residual functional obtained from the insertion of these trial functions into model equations results in an algebraic system of equations whose solution provides the unknown coefficients in terms of element-level nodal values. The normal finite element procedures for the construction of stiffness matrices may then be followed with no extra degree of freedom incurred as a result of such enrichment. The performance of the proposed method has been tested on a number of benchmark linear transport equations with the results compared against the exact and standard linear element solutions. It has been observed that low order bubble enriched elements produce more accurate approximations than the standard linear elements with no extra computational cost despite employing relatively crude mesh. However, for the solution of strongly convection or reaction dominated problems significantly higher order enrichments as well as extra mesh refinements will be required.
