description: We present new numerical relativity results of neutron star mergers with chirp mass $1.188M_\odot$ and mass ratios $q=1.67$ and $q=1.8$ using finite-temperature equations of state (EOS), approximate neutrino transport and a subgrid model for magnetohydrodynamics-induced turbulent viscosity. The EOS are compatible with nuclear and astrophysical constraints and include a new microphysical model derived from ab-initio calculations based on the Brueckner-Hartree-Fock approach. We report for the first time evidence for accretion-induced prompt collapse in high-mass-ratio mergers, in which the tidal disruption of the companion and its accretion onto the primary star determine prompt black hole formation. As a result of the tidal disruption, an accretion disc of neutron-rich and cold matter forms with baryon masses ${\sim}0.15M_\odot$, and it is significantly heavier than the remnant discs in equal-masses prompt collapse mergers. Massive dynamical ejecta of order ${\sim}0.01M_\odot$ also originate from the tidal disruption. They are neutron rich and expand from the orbital plane with a crescent-like geometry. Consequently, bright, red and temporally extended kilonova emission is predicted from these mergers. Our results show that prompt black hole mergers can power bright electromagnetic counterparts for high-mass-ratio binaries, and that the binary mass ratio can be in principle constrained from multimessenger observations.

description: Objective: Curiosity promotes engagement in novel situations and the accruement of resources that promote well-being. An open question is the extent to which curiosity lability, the degree to which curiosity fluctuates over short timescales, impacts well-being. Method: We use data from a 21-day daily diary as well as trait measures in 167 participants (mean age = 25.37 years, SD = 7.34) to test (a) the importance of curiosity lability for depression, flourishing, and life satisfaction, (b) day-to-day associations among curiosity and happiness, depressed mood, anxiety, and physical activity, and (c) the role of day's mood as a mediator between physical activity and curiosity. Results: We observe positive associations among curiosity lability and depression, as well as negative associations among curiosity lability and both life satisfaction and flourishing. Curiosity is higher on days of greater happiness and physical activity, and lower on days of greater depressed mood. We find evidence consistent with day's depressed mood and happiness being mediators between physical activity and curiosity. Conclusions: Greater consistency in curiosity is associated with well-being. We identify several potential sources of augmentation and blunting of curiosity in daily life and provide support for purported mechanisms linking physical activity to curiosity via mood.

description: During the cold winter time, UBC buildings must provide a warm environment to staff, students, and faculties. However, individual thermal comfort differs in age, metabolic rate, gender, and many other factors. Personal heaters are commonly used in offices and workplaces to address the problem. A typical convection heater needs 1500 W to operate, which is equal to fifteen 100 W light bulbs operating at the same time in a single room. Nevertheless, these heaters can overload the power grid, trip the breaker, and confuse the building HVAC sensors which will trigger cooling system, causing more discomfort among the personnel. A triple bottom line analysis is used to evaluate the environmental impact, social acceptance, and economic profit of an energy efficient convection heater model. The primary investigation includes the market field trip, scholar journal, sustainability survey, and product reviews by UBC members, which were used to determine the heater model. Survey results and user feedback showed that UBC members care about campus sustainability and are willing to try efficient convection heaters. Supplementary investigation such as online research, online product review, and manufacturing background information will help further understand the sustainability of the product. The manufacturer of the suggested heater model was found to be very self-sustainable. Almost no ground or water pollution was produced in the process. This project focuses on the efficient convection heaters available in Vancouver. As the result, a heater model that is energy efficient, safe, quality ensured, user friendly, and economic profitable should be recommended to future workplace use. It was concluded that the suggested convection heater with temperature control would fit the requirement above. A trade-in program could be done in the future to improve the campus sustainability.

description: Within the framework of the hard thermal loop effective theory we derive a system of Boltzmann-like kinetic equations taking into account the simplest processes of nonlinear interaction of soft fermionic and bosonic QCD plasma excitations: elastic scattering of soft-(anti)quark excitations off soft-gluon and soft-quark excitations, pair production of soft quark-antiquark excitations, annihilation into two soft-gluon excitations. The matrix elements of these processes to leading order in the coupling constant $g$ are obtained. The iterative method of calculation of the matrix elements for the higher processes of soft-mode interactions is proposed. The most general expression for the emitted radiant power induced by the effective currents and effective sources in a quark-gluon plasma (QGP) taking into account an existence of fermion sector of plasma excitations is defined. The explicit form of the linearized Boltzmann equation accounting for scattering of color(less) plasminos off color(less) plasmons is written out.

description: Entanglement phase transitions in quantum chaotic systems subject to projective measurements and in random tensor networks have emerged as a new class of critical points separating phases with different entanglement scaling. We propose a mean-field theory of such transitions by studying the entanglement properties of random tree tensor networks. As a function of bond dimension, we find a phase transition separating area-law from logarithmic scaling of the entanglement entropy. Using a mapping onto a replica statistical mechanics model defined on a Cayley tree and the cavity method, we analyze the scaling properties of such transitions. Our approach provides a tractable, mean-field-like example of an entanglement transition. We verify our predictions numerically by computing directly the entanglement of random tree tensor network states.

description: Population balance models are tools for the study of dispersed systems, such as granular materials, polymers, colloids and aerosols. They are applied with increasing frequency across a wide range of disciplines, including chemical engineering, aerosol physics, astrophysics, polymer science, pharmaceutical sciences, and mathematical biology. Population balance models are used to track particle properties and their changes due to aggregation, fragmentation, nucleation and growth, processes that directly affect the distribution of particle sizes. The population balance equation is an integro-partial differential equation whose domain is the line of positive real numbers. This poses challenges for the stability and accuracy of the numerical methods used to solve for size distribution function and in response to these challenges several different methodologies have been developed in the literature. This review provides a critical presentation of the state of the art in numerical approaches for solving these complex models with emphasis in the algorithmic details that distinguish each methodology. The review covers finite volume methods, Monte Carlo method and sectional methods; the method of moments, another important numerical methodology, is not covered in this review.

description: We study threefolds $Y$ fibred by $A_m$-surfaces over a curve $S$ of positive genus. An ideal triangulation of $S$ defines, for each rank $m$, a quiver $Q(Δ_m)$, hence a $CY_3$-category $(C,W)$ for any potential $W$ on $Q(Δ_m)$. We show that for $ω$ in an open subset of the Kähler cone, a subcategory of a sign-twisted Fukaya category of $(Y,ω)$ is quasi-isomorphic to $(C,W_{[ω]})$ for a certain generic potential $W_{[ω]}$. This partially establishes a conjecture of Goncharov concerning `categorifications' of cluster varieties of framed $PGL_{m+1}$-local systems on $S$, and gives a symplectic geometric viewpoint on results of Gaiotto, Moore and Neitzke.

description: We discuss microscopic aspects of odd-parity triplet pair in orbital degenerate systems. From the concept of off-diagonal long-range order, a pair state is unambiguously defined as the eigenstate with the maximum eigenvalue of pair correlation function. Performing this scheme by a numerical technique, we clarify that the odd-parity triplet pair occurs as an out-of-phase combination of local triplets induced by Hund's rule coupling for the lattice including two sites in the unit cell.

description: This paper discusses a general class of ladder resummation inspired hadronic approximations. It is found that this approach naturally reproduces many successes of single meson per channel saturation models (e.g. VMD) and NJL based models. In particular the existence of a constituent quark mass and a gap equation follows naturally. We construct an approximation that satisfies a large set of QCD short-distance and large $N_c$ constraints and reproduces many hadronic observables. We show how there exists in general a problem between QCD short-distance constraints for Green Functions and those for form factors and cross-sections following from the quark-counting rule. This problem while expected for Green functions that do not vanish in purely perturbative QCD also persists for many Green functions that are order parameters.

description: Code summarization generates brief natural language description given a source code snippet, while code retrieval fetches relevant source code given a natural language query. Since both tasks aim to model the association between natural language and programming language, recent studies have combined these two tasks to improve their performance. However, researchers have yet been able to effectively leverage the intrinsic connection between the two tasks as they train these tasks in a separate or pipeline manner, which means their performance can not be well balanced. In this paper, we propose a novel end-to-end model for the two tasks by introducing an additional code generation task. More specifically, we explicitly exploit the probabilistic correlation between code summarization and code generation with dual learning, and utilize the two encoders for code summarization and code generation to train the code retrieval task via multi-task learning. We have carried out extensive experiments on an existing dataset of SQL and Python, and results show that our model can significantly improve the results of the code retrieval task over the-state-of-art models, as well as achieve competitive performance in terms of BLEU score for the code summarization task.

Supersymmetric solutions from N=5 gauged supergravity

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: We study a large class of supersymmetric solutions in four-dimensional $N=5$ gauged supergravity with $SO(5)$ gauge group. There is only one $N=5$ supersymmetric $AdS_4$ vacuum preserving the full $SO(5)$ symmetry dual to an $N=5$ SCFT in three dimensions. We give a number of domain walls interpolating between this $AdS_4$ fixed point and singular geometries in the IR with $SO(4)$ and $SO(3)$ symmetries. These solutions describe RG flows from the $N=5$ SCFT to non-conformal field theories driven by mass deformations. The $SO(4)$ solutions are precisely in agreement with the previously known mass deformations within the dual $N=5$ SCFT. We also find supersymmetric Janus solutions describing two-dimensional conformal defects in the $N=5$ SCFT with $N=(4,1)$ and $N=(1,1)$ supersymmetries on the defects. Finally, we study supersymmetric solutions of the form $AdS_2\times Σ^2$, with $Σ^2=S^2,H^2$ being a Riemann surface, corresponding to near horizon geometries of $AdS_4$ black holes. We consider both magnetic and dyonic solutions and find that there exists a class of magnetic $AdS_2\times H^2$ solutions with $SO(2)$ symmetry. It is rather remarkable that a complete analytic solution interpolating between $AdS_4$ and $AdS_2\times H^2$ with a running scalar can be obtained. The solution corresponds to a twisted compactification of $N=5$ SCFT to superconformal quantum mechanics. We also show that no purely magnetic or dyonic black holes with $AdS_2\times Σ^2$ horizon from $SO(2)\times SO(2)$ twist exist in $N=5$, $SO(5)$ gauged supergravity.

description: Faraday rotation of the polarization plane in magnetized thermal plasma provides one of the most efficient methods to deduce regular magnetic fields from radio astronomical observations. Since the Faraday rotation measure RM is proportional to an integral, along the line of sight, of magnetic field weighted with thermal electron density, RM is believed to yield the regular magnetic field averaged over large volume. Here we show that this is not the case in a turbulent medium where fluctuations in magnetic field and electron density are not statistically independent, and so contribute to RM. For example, in the case of pressure equilibrium, magnetic field can be anticorrelated with plasma density to produce a negative contribution. As a result, the strength of the regular magnetic field obtained from RM can be underestimated if the fluctuations in electron density and magnetic field are neglected. The anticorrelation also reduces the standard deviation of RM. We further discuss the effect of the positive correlations where the standard treatment of RM leads to an overestimated magnetic field. Because of the anisotropy of the turbulent magnetic field, the regular magnetic fields strength, obtained from synchrotron emission using standard formulae, can be overestimated. A positive correlation between cosmic-ray number density and magnetic field leads to an overestimate of the strengths of the regular and total fields. These effects can explain the difference between the strengths of the regular Galactic magnetic field as indicated by RM and synchrotron emissivity data and reconcile the magnetic field strength in the Solar vicinity with typical strength of regular magnetic fields in external galaxies.

description: La paura della morte, ultima fra le “cose ultime” (ἔσχατα) a resistere al naufragio della metafisica. Il timore dell’ignoto – lo stesso che ha spinto gli antichi a crearsi i propri dèi – capace di annichilire l’intelletto ai limiti della paralisi, oppure di ottunderlo in una sorta di trance estatica. Lo spavento che può cogliere chi fissa in volto la bellezza. E i terrori della notte, quando capita che il buio e la memoria trasfigurino un banale scorcio di campagna in un crocicchio dell’antica Tessaglia: quelle paure senza appello, inaccessibili alla verbalizzazione, che tormentano e a volte uccidono i bambini piccoli, ritrovati morti tra le convulsioni.
Il tema della paura attraversa l’opera di Leopardi in maniera asistematica ma costante, finendo per lambire questioni profonde di quell’età incerta – post-rivoluzionaria, pre-risorgimentale, romantica – in cui la paura diviene una formidabile chiave di lettura per comprendere l’assoluta novità del presente.
Alle consuete schede lessicali, questo volume affianca quattro saggi che esplorano altrettanti volti della paura nell’opera leopardiana: il timor vichiano, il raccapriccio della tradizione sepolcrale, il rapporto con la bellezza e il desiderio e i “terrori della notte”.

description: We present the results of UV spectroscopy of AGNs with double-peaked Balmer emission lines. In 2/3 of the objects, the far-UV resonance lines are strong, with single-peaked profiles resembling those of Seyfert galaxies. The Mg II line is the only UV line with a double-peaked profile. In the remaining objects, the far-UV resonance lines are relatively weak but still single-peaked. The latter group also displays prominent UV absorption lines, indicative of a low-ionization absorber. We interpret the difference in the profiles of the emission lines as resulting from two different regions: a dense, low-ionization accretion disk (the predominant source of the Balmer and Mg II lines), and a lower density, higher-ionization wind (the predominant source of the far-UV resonance lines). These results suggest a way of connecting the double-peaked emitters with the greater AGN population: in double-peaked emitters the accretion rate onto the black hole is low, making the wind feeble and allowing the lines from the underlying disk to shine through. This scenario also implies that in the majority of AGNs, the wind is the source of the broad emission lines.

description: Several important proposals to use semiconductor quantum dots in quantum information technology rely on the control of the dark exciton ground states, such as dark exciton based qubits with a $μ$s life time. In this paper, we present an efficient way to occupy the dark exciton ground state by a single short laser pulse. The scheme is based on an optical excitation with a longitudinal field component featured by, e.g., radially polarized beams or certain Laguerre-Gauss or Bessel beams. Utilizing this component, we show within a configuration interaction approach that high-energy exciton states composed of light-hole excitons and higher dark heavy-hole excitons can be addressed. When the higher exciton relaxes, a dark exciton in its ground state is created.

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The discovery of diffuse synchrotron radio emission and, more recently, of the hard X-ray (HXR) tails have triggered a growing interest about non-thermal phenomena in galaxy clusters. After a brief review of the most important evidences for non-thermal emission, I will focus on the origin of the emitting particles and of the hadronic component. In particular I will describe the particle-injection and -acceleration mechanisms at work in the intra-cluster medium (ICM) and, at the same time, discuss the possibility to test current modellings of these phenomena with future radio, HXR, and gamma rays observatories.

description: We introduce a simple method of an MgB2 film preparation using sequential electron-beam evaporation of B-Mg two-layer (followed by in-situ annealing) on the NbN buffered Si(100) substrate. The Transmission Electron Microscopy analyses confirm a growth of homogeneous nanogranular MgB2 films without the presence of crystalline MgO. A sensitive measurement of temperature dependence of microwave losses shows a presence of intergranular weak links close the superconducting transition only. The MgB2 films obtained, about 200 nm thick, exhibit a maximum zero resistance critical temperature of 36 K and critical current density of 3x10^7 A/cm^2 at 13.2 K

description:  Aquatic ecosystems are classified into freshwater, transitional, and marine systems, each supporting distinct species and ecological functions. Freshwater ecosystems, including rivers, lakes, and ponds, are shaped by physical, chemical, and biological factors studied under limnology. The River Continuum Concept explains how changes in river structure, from upper to lower reaches, influence aquatic communities and biodiversity. Key factors like hydrology, land use, geology, and vegetation impact stream morphology and habitat conditions. Riparian buffer zones provide critical ecological services, stabilizing banks and reducing pollution. Understanding these systems is essential for maintaining ecological balance and managing water resources sustainably.
Spin Polarization and Color Superconductivity in Quark Matter

description: A coexistent phase of spin polarization and color superconductivity in high-density QCD is investigated using a self-consistent mean-field method at zero temperature. The axial-vector current stemming from the Fock exchange term of the one-gluon-exchange interaction has a central role to cause spin polarization. The magnitude of spin polarization is determined by the coupled Schwinger-Dyson equation with a superconducting gap function. As a significant feature the Fermi surface is deformed by the axial-vector self-energy and then rotational symmetry is spontaneously broken. The gap function is also taken to be anisotropic in accordance with the deformation. As a result of numerical calculation, it is found that spin polarization barely conflicts with color superconductivity, but almost coexists with it.

description: Livelihood diversification by agricultural households in sub-Saharan Africa contributes significantly to household income. Over the last three decades there has been increased interest in literature on the subject. However, little has been done on the determinants of choice of alternative sets of strategies by households as well as the livelihood strategies chosen by resettled households. This study fills this gap in knowledge. This is important because it will guide policy makers in coming up with policies, programs and projects, that enable resettled households to easily reconstruct their livelihoods. The study addressed two objectives; first, it described the livelihood activities carried out by households in Solio, a resettlement scheme in central Kenya. Secondly, it evaluated the factors that influence the choice of alternative sets of livelihood strategies in the study area. To achieve the first objective, descriptive statistics were used to characterize the resettlement scheme using data collected through a semi-structured questionnaire and focus group discussions. The second objective was achieved by running a negative binomial regression model using data collected through a semi-structured questionnaire involving 196 respondents. The study found that households had diversified livelihoods from agriculture, where off-farm activities contribute over 67.4% of total household income. Age of the household head and possession of a technical skill were found to positively influence the number of livelihood strategies a household was involved in. Time taken to a water source was found to negatively influence the number of livelihood strategies a household was involved in. The study recommended, first, the improvement of access to water for domestic purposes as well as irrigation for crop production to supplement the low rainfall in the study area. Secondly, vi improvement of access to technical skills and training, and increased funding to village vocational training centers, for them to be better equipped to offer technical skills training which positively influence livelihood diversification. Such programs will positively influence livelihood diversification in rural areas and therefore curb the problems of food insecurity and youth unemployment.

Fact and Fantasy in Soviet Records: The Documentation of Soviet Party and Secret Police Investigations as Historical Evidence

description: When we use Soviet documentation of political and secret police investigations to write history, to what extent are we vulnerable to the biases and inventions of the investigators? The problem is framed as one of principal and agent. It is argued that Soviet principals allowed their agents scope to manipulate facts and bias interpretations, not freely, but within strict limits that were laid down from above and varied from time to time. These limits were set by the leader’s “revolutionary insight,” the communist equivalent of what passes in more open societies today as “truthiness.” An understanding of the Soviet truthiness of the particular time is the best guide we have to interpreting the documentary records of that time. Evaluating them in this light, we see that Soviet historical documents are little different from the records of any other time and place.

description: We measure the thermoelectric response of Corbino structures in the quantum Hall effect regime and compare it with a theoretical analysis. The measured thermoelectric voltages are qualitatively and quantitatively simulated based upon the independent measurement of the conductivity indicating that they originate predominantly from the electron diffusion. Electron-phonon interaction does not lead to a phonon-drag contribution in contrast to earlier Hall-bar experiments. This implies a description of the Onsager coefficients on the basis of a single transmission function, from which both thermovoltage and conductivity can be predicted with a single fitting parameter. It furthermore let us predict a figure of merit for the efficiency of thermoelectric cooling which becomes very large for partially filled Landau levels (LL) and high magnetic fieldse of merit can be estimated which becomes very large for partially filled Landau levels and high magnetic fields.

Mixture of scalar bosons and two-color fermions in one dimension: Superfluid-insulator transitions

description: Superfluid-insulator transitions in a one-dimensional mixture of two-color fermions and scalar bosons are studied within the framework of the Bose-Fermi-Hubbard model. Zero-temperature phase diagrams are constructed for repulsive intraspecies interactions and attractive or repulsive interspecies couplings. In addition to the trivial Mott insulator phases, we report the emergence of new non-trivial insulator phases that depend on the sign of the boson-fermion interaction. These non-trivial insulator phases satisfy the conditions $ρ_B\pmρ_F=n$ and $ρ_B\pm \tfrac{1}{2}ρ_F=n$, with the plus (minus) sign for repulsive (attractive) interactions and $n$ an integer. Far from fermionic half-filling, the boson-fermion interaction drives a gapless-gapped transition in the spin sector. Our findings could be observed experimentally in state-of-the-art cold-atom setups.
