description: In the past few decades, observations have revealed signatures of metals polluting the atmospheres of white dwarfs. The diffusion timescale for metals to sink from the atmosphere of a white dwarf is of the order of days for a hydrogen-dominated atmosphere. Thus, there must be a continuous supply of metal-rich material accreting onto these white dwarfs. We investigate the role of secular resonances that excite the eccentricity of asteroids allowing them to reach star-grazing orbits leading them to tidal disruption and the formation of a debris disc. Changes in the planetary system during the evolution of the star lead to a change in the location of secular resonances. In our Solar System, the engulfment of the Earth will cause the $ν_6$ resonance to shift outwards which will force previously stable asteroids to undergo secular resonant perturbations. With analytic models and $N$--body simulations we show that secular resonances driven by two outer companions can provide a source of continuous pollution. Secular resonances are a viable mechanism for the pollution of white dwarfs in a variety of exoplanetary system architectures.

Galactic Gamma Halo by Heavy Neutrino annihilations?

description: The diffused gamma halo around our Galaxy recently discovered by EGRET could be produced by annihilations of relic neutrinos N (of fourth generation), whose mass is within a narrow range (Mz /2 < M < Mz). Neutrino annihilations in the halo may lead to either ultrarelativistic electron pairs whose inverse Compton Scattering on infrared or optical galactic photons could be the source of the observed GeV gamma rays, or to prompt 100 MeV- 1 GeV photons (due to neutral pion secondaries) born by N - anti N --> Z--> quark pairs reactions. The consequent gamma flux (10 ^(-7)- 10^(-6) cm ^(-2) s^(-1) sr^(-1)) is well comparable to the EGRET observed one and it is also compatible with the narrow window of neutrino mass : 45 GeV < M < 50 GeV recently required to explain the underground DAMA signals. The presence of heavy neutrinos of fourth generation do not contribute much to solve the dark matter problem of the Universe, but it may be easily detectable by outcoming LEP II data.

description: We investigate the reaction $e p \to e PS X$ where PS denotes a pseudoscalar meson $π^0, η, η'$, or $η_c$ and X either a proton or resonance or continuum states into which the proton can go by diffractive excitation. At high energies photon and odderon exchange contribute to the reaction. The photon exchange contribution is evaluated exactly using data for the total virtual photon-proton absorption cross section. The odderon exchange contribution is calculated in nonperturbative QCD, using functional integral techniques and the model of the stochastic vacuum. For the proton we assume a quark-diquark structure as suggested by the small odderon amplitude in $pp$ and $p \bar{p}$ forward scattering. We show that odderon exchange leads to a much larger inelastic than elastic PS production cross section. Observation of our reaction at HERA would establish the soft odderon as an exchange object on an equal footing with the soft pomeron and would give us valuable insight into both the nucleon structure and the mechanism of high energy diffractive scattering.

description: Theoretical models for the liquid-vapor and metal-nonmetal transitions of alkali fluids are investigated. Mean-field models are considered first but shown to be inadequate. An alternate approach is then studied in which each statistical configuration of the material is treated as inhomogeneous, with the energy of each ion being determined by its local environment. Nonadditive interactions, due to valence electron delocalization, are a crucial feature of the model. This alternate approach is implemented within a lattice-gas approximation which takes into account the observed mode of expansion in the materials of interest and which is able to treat the equilibrium density fluctuations. We have carried out grand canonical Monte Carlo simulations, for this model, which allow a unified, self-consistent, study of the structural, thermodynamic, and electronic properties of alkali fluids. Applications to Cs, Rb, K, and Na yield results in good agreement with observations.

Insomnia
Quality of life

description: Older adults who move from their own homes to a retirement community, or to assisted living, and in many cases, again to long-term care or a nursing home, pass through a trajectory of increasing dependence reflected in their living situation. Disordered sleep or insomnia is frequently a key factor when older adults move down this trajectory of dependence, either as a primary cause or as a symptom of worsening physical or cognitive function, but how and why this happens has not been explored. Insomnia in older adults has been linked to increased incidence of falls, depression and anxiety, suicide attempts, cognitive impairment, institutionalization and overall mortality, but traditional sleep assessment instruments, designed for the general adult population, fail to capture many of the experiences and precipitating factors that are unique to older adults. This qualitative descriptive study elicited self-report and open narratives from 18 older adults at two different points along the trajectory of dependence about their own sleep behaviors, their knowledge of good sleep hygiene, and their thoughts and beliefs about the relationships between sleep, daily functioning and quality of life. The interviews were supplemented with five self-report instruments and a sleep diary. Conventional content analysis of the participants’ narratives revealed the overriding theme of Insomnia Is Exhausting, which exemplifies the physical and emotional strain this chronic condition creates, and four categories: A Bad Night, Self-Management, Stoicism and Consequences. By employing qualitative methods that captured a more holistic and nuanced experience of insomnia, this study demonstrated the negative effects that insomnia has on older adults’ quality of life and daily functioning. This study has implications for nursing education and practice, research and policy.

description: A central tenet of theoretical cryptography is the study of the minimal assumptions required to implement a given cryptographic primitive. One such primitive is the one-time memory (OTM), introduced by Goldwasser, Kalai, and Rothblum [CRYPTO 2008], which is a classical functionality modeled after a non-interactive 1-out-of-2 oblivious transfer, and which is complete for one-time classical and quantum programs. It is known that secure OTMs do not exist in the standard model in both the classical and quantum settings. Here, we propose a scheme for using quantum information, together with the assumption of stateless (i.e., reusable) hardware tokens, to build statistically secure OTMs. Via the semidefinite programming-based quantum games framework of Gutoski and Watrous [STOC 2007], we prove security for a malicious receiver making at most 0.114n adaptive queries to the token (for n the key size), in the quantum universal composability framework, but leave open the question of security against a polynomial amount of queries. Compared to alternative schemes derived from the literature on quantum money, our scheme is technologically simple since it is of the "prepare-and-measure" type. We also give two impossibility results showing certain assumptions in our scheme cannot be relaxed.

description: The NJL model is formulated on the light cone. Using the 1/N expansion to solve the fermionic constraint, an effective 4-fermi lagrangian is derived. Pionic properties are investigated using this lagrangian, and the formal equivalence to the equal-time formulation is demonstrated. Two regularization schemes in terms of light-cone variables are discussed: An extension of the 'invariant mass cut-off scheme', and a transverse momentum cut-off scheme. It is shown that the first one is equivalent to the covariant 3-momentum cut-off (dispersion cut-off) scheme in the equal-time formulation. As an application the structure function of the pion is studied in both regularization schemes.

description: Symplectic schemes are powerful methods for numerically integrating Hamiltonian systems, and their long-term accuracy and fidelity have been proved both theoretically and numerically. However direct applications of standard symplectic schemes to relativistic charged particle dynamics result in implicit and electromagnetic gauge-dependent algorithms. In the present study, we develop explicit high-order gauge-independent noncanonical symplectic algorithms for relativistic charged particle dynamics using a Hamiltonian splitting method in the 8D phase space. It also shown that the developed algorithms can be derived as variational integrators by appropriately discretizing the action of the dynamics. Numerical examples are presented to verify the excellent long-term behavior of the algorithms.

description: The scaling properties of self-avoiding tethered membranes at the tricritical point (theta-point) are studied by perturbative renormalization group methods. To treat the 3-body repulsive interaction (known to be relevant for polymers), new analytical and numerical tools are developped and applied to 1-loop calculations. These technics are a prerequisite to higher order calculations for self-avoiding membranes. The cross-over between the 3-body interaction and the modified 2-body interaction, attractive at long range, is studied through a new double epsilon-expansion. It is shown that the latter interaction is relevant for 2-dimensional membranes at the theta-point.

description: We prove the full covariance of the heavy-to-light weak current matrix elements based on the Bakamjian-Thomas construction of relativistic quark models, in the heavy mass limit for the parent hadron and the large energy limit for the daughter one. Moreover, this quark model representation of the heavy-to-light form factors fulfills the general relations that were recently argued to hold in the corresponding limit of QCD, namely that there are only three independent form factors describing the B -> pi (rho) matrix elements, as well as the factorized scaling law sqrt(M)z(E) of the form factors with respect to the heavy mass M and large energy E. These results constitute another good property of the quark models à la Bakamjian-Thomas, which were previously shown to exhibit covariance and Isgur-Wise scaling in the heavy-to-heavy case.

description: I review my work together with Piljin Yi on the spectrum of BPS-saturated states in N = 2 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theories. In an M-theory description, such states are realized as certain two-brane configurations. We first show how the central charge of the N = 2 algebra arises from the two-form central charge of the eleven-dimensional supersymmetry algebra, and derive the condition for a two-brane configuration to be BPS-saturated. We then discuss how the topology of the two-brane determines the type of BPS-multiplet. Finally, we discuss the phenomenon of marginal stability and show how it is related to the mutual non-locality of states.

description: Anelastic light scattering is computed numerically for model disordered systems (linear chains and 2-dimensional site and bond percolators), with and without electrical disorder. A detailed analysis of the vibrational modes and of their Raman activity evidences that two extreme mechanisms for scattering may be singled out. One of these resembles scattering from finite size systems, while the other mechanisms originates from spatial fluctuations of the polarizability and is such that modes in even small frequency intervals may have very different Raman activities. As a consequence, the average coupling coefficient $C(ω)$ is the variance of a zero-average quantity. Our analysis shows that for both linear chains and 2-dimensional percolators the second mechanism dominates over the first, and therefore Raman scattering from disordered systems is essentially due to spatial fluctuations.

Estimates for the corrections to the usual calculation of observables within quantum field theory are used to put very stringent limits, in some cases, on the characteristic scale of the additional compactified dimensions. Implications for the cosmological constant problem are also discussed.

description: Topological insulator (TI) materials are exciting candidates for integration into next-generation memory and logic devices because of their potential for efficient, low-energy-consumption switching of magnetization. Specifically, the family of bismuth chalcogenides offers efficient spin-to-charge conversion because of its large spin-orbit coupling and spin-momentum locking of surface states. However, a major obstacle to realizing the promise of TIs is the thin-film materials' quality, which lags behind that of epitaxially grown semiconductors. In contrast to the latter systems, the Bi-chalcogenides form by van der Waals epitaxy, which allows them to successfully grow onto substrates with various degrees of lattice mismatch. This flexibility enables the integration of TIs into heterostructures with emerging materials, including two-dimensional materials. However, understanding and controlling local features and defects within the TI films is critical to achieving breakthrough device performance. Here, we report observations and modeling of large-scale structural defects in (Bi,Sb)$_2$Te$_3$ films grown onto hexagonal BN, highlighting unexpected symmetry-breaking rotations within the films and the coexistence of a second phase along grain boundaries. Using first-principles calculations, we show that these defects could have consequential impacts on the devices that rely on these TI films, and therefore they cannot be ignored.

description: We present an in-depth study of the problem of multiple-shot discrimination of von Neumann measurements in finite-dimensional Hilbert spaces. Specifically, we consider two scenarios: minimum error and unambiguous discrimination. In the case of minimum error discrimination, we focus on discrimination of measurements with the assistance of entanglement. We provide an alternative proof of the fact that all pairs of distinct von Neumann measurements can be distinguished perfectly (i.e. with the unit success probability) using only a finite number of queries. Moreover, we analytically find the minimal number of queries needed for perfect discrimination. We also show that in this scenario querying the measurements gives the optimal strategy, and hence any possible adaptive methods do not offer any advantage over the parallel scheme. In the unambiguous discrimination scenario, we give the general expressions for the optimal discrimination probabilities with and without the assistance of entanglement. Finally, we show that typical pairs of Haar-random von Neumann measurements can be perfectly distinguished with only two queries.

description: We look for similarity transformations which yield mappings between different one-dimensional reaction-diffusion processes. In this way results obtained for special systems can be generalized to equivalent reaction-diffusion models. The coagulation (A + A -> A) or the annihilation (A + A -> 0) models can be mapped onto systems in which both processes are allowed. With the help of the coagulation-decoagulation model results for some death-decoagulation and annihilation-creation systems are given. We also find a reaction-diffusion system which is equivalent to the two species annihilation model (A + B ->0). Besides we present numerical results of Monte Carlo simulations. An accurate description of the effects of the reaction rates on the concentration in one-species diffusion-annihilation model is made. The asymptotic behavior of the concentration in the two species annihilation system (A + B -> 0) with symmetric initial conditions is studied.

description: We consider membranes of spherical topology in uncompactified Matrix theory. In general for large membranes Matrix theory reproduces the classical membrane dynamics up to 1/N corrections; for certain simple membrane configurations, the equations of motion agree exactly at finite N. We derive a general formula for the one-loop Matrix potential between two finite-sized objects at large separations. Applied to a graviton interacting with a round spherical membrane, we show that the Matrix potential agrees with the naive supergravity potential for large N, but differs at subleading orders in N. The result is quite general: we prove a pair of theorems showing that for large N, after removing the effects of gravitational radiation, the one-loop potential between classical Matrix configurations agrees with the long-distance potential expected from supergravity. As a spherical membrane shrinks, it eventually becomes a black hole. This provides a natural framework to study Schwarzschild black holes in Matrix theory.

description: Bhabha scattering data recorded at \sqrt{s}=189 GeV by the L3 detector at LEP are used to measure the running of the effective fine-structure constant for spacelike momentum transfers. The results are alpha^-1(-2.1 GeV^2) - alpha^-1(-6.25 GeV^2) = 0.78 +/- 0.26 alpha^-1(-12.25 GeV^2) - alpha^-1(-3434 GeV^2) = 3.80 +/- 1.29, in agreement with theoretical predictions.

description: The present study provides an investigation on the deposition of carbon-related products on different substrates using a high power dielectric barrier discharge fed with helium and saturated hydrocarbon gases. The discharge has been characterized by means of voltage-current measurements, while the neutral species and the dissociation compounds accumulated in the plasma reactor have been analyzed by Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The properties of non-aromatic hydrogenated amorphous carbon (a-C:H) films and 'fluffy' carbon dust deposited onto various substrates are analyzed by FTIR and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The sp2-hybridized fraction of a-C:H films is negligible while for the 'fluffy' dust, does not exceed 10%. The microscopic appearance, the hierarchical organization and the CH2 / CH3 ratio around 2 of the 'fluffy' dust analog are results that supports the current understanding of cosmic carbon dust physico-chemical properties.
Hamiltonian Formulation of Jackiw--Pi 3-Dimensional Gauge Theories

description: A 3-dimensional non-abelian gauge theory was proposed by Jackiw and Pi to create mass for the gauge fields. However, the quadratic action obtained by switching off the non-abelian interactions possesses more gauge symmetries than the original one, causing some difficulties in quantization. Jackiw and Pi proposed another action by introducing new fields, whose gauge symmetries are consistent with the quadratic part. It is shown that all of these theories have the same number of physical degrees of freedom in the hamiltonian framework. Hence, as far as the physical states are considered there is no inconsistency. Nevertheless, perturbation expansion is still problematic. To cure this we propose to modify one of the constraints of the non-abelian theory without altering neither its canonical hamiltonian nor the number of physical states.

description: The demonstration of batch-to-batch consistency is indispensable for quality control of vaccines. We conducted a randomized, double-blind, parallel-controlled trial to evaluate the immunogenicity consistency of a single shot of Ad5-nCoV in healthy adults who had not previously received any COVID-19 vaccine. All eligible participants were randomly assigned equally to receive one of the three consecutive batches of Ad5-nCoV (5 × 1010 viral particles/vial, 0.5 mL). The primary endpoint was geometric mean titers (GMTs) of serum SARS-CoV-2 receptor-binding domain (RBD)-specific IgG on day 28 post-vaccination. One thousand fifty participants were enrolled, with 350 (33%) participants per group. On day 28 post-vaccination, GMTs in three groups were 78.3 binding antibody units (BAU)/mL (95% CI 70.3–87.3), 82.9 BAU/mL (73.9–92.9), and 78.8 BAU/mL (70.2–88.4), respectively. The two-sided 95% CIs for the GMT ratios between each pair of batches were all between 0.67 and 1.5. The highest incidence of solicited adverse reactions within 7 days post-vaccination was reported by batch 3 recipients (23.1% versus 15.1% in batch 1 recipients and 14.6% in bath 2 recipients; p = 0.0039). None of the serious adverse events were related to vaccination. Immunogenicity consistency between consecutive batches of Ad5-nCoV was well established in adults. This trial was registered with ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT05313646).

description: We present a long-term light curve of the precataclysmic variable (CV) V1082 Sgr obtained by the K2-mission over the course of 81 days. We analyze the entire complex light curve as well as explore several sections in detail with a sliding periodogram. The long dataset allows the first detection of the orbital period in the light curve, as well as the confirmation of cyclical variability on a longer timescale of about a month. A portion of the light curve in deep minimum reveals a clean, near-sinusoidal variability attributed to the rotation of the spotted surface of the donor star. We model that portion of the light curve assuming that the donor star grossly under-fills its Roche lobe, has cool spots similar to a chromospherically active, slightly evolved early K-star, and might be irradiated by the X-ray beam from the magnetically accreting white dwarf. The fast variability of the object in the active phases resembles the light curves of magnetic CVs (polars).

description: A simple one-pot hydrothermal synthesis of single crystalline beta-MnO2 nanorods with diameters in the range of 10-40nm is reported. During the synthesis process, the acid molarities were varied from 1.1M down to 0.2M in steps of 0.3M while keeping the other reaction parameters constant, resulting in gradual transformation of the size of beta-MnO2 from micro to the nanoscale dimension. The as-synthesized nanorods exhibit soft ferromagnetic behavior and possess a high catalytic activity with an onset potential of -0.17V in facilitating the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR).

description: This paper is an experience report on migrating an American newspaper company's business-critical IBM mainframe application to Linux servers by automatically translating the application's source code from COBOL to Java and converting the mainframe data store from VSAM KSDS files to an Oracle relational database. The mainframe application had supported daily home delivery of the newspaper since 1979. It was in need of modernization in order to increase interoperability and enable future convergence with newer enterprise systems as well as to reduce operating costs. Testing the modernized application proved to be the most vexing area of work. This paper explains the process that was employed to test functional equivalence between the legacy and modernized applications, the main testing challenges, and lessons learned after having operated and maintained the modernized application in production over the last eight months. The goal of delivering a functionally equivalent system was achieved, but problems remained to be solved related to new feature development, business domain knowledge transfer, and recruiting new software engineers to work on the modernized application.

description: The sum rule approach is used to derive upper bounds for the dispersion law $ω_0(q)$ of the elementary excitations of a Bose superfluid. Bounds are explicitly calculated for the phonon-roton dispersion in superfluid $^4$He, both at equilibrium ($ρ=0.02186$ Å$^{-3}$) and close to freezing ($ρ=0.02622$ Å$^{-3}$). The bound $ω_0(q) \le 2S(q)\midχ(q)\mid^{-1}$, where $S(q)$ and $χ(q)$ are the static structure factor and density response respectively, is calculated microscopically for several values of the wavevector $q$. The results provide a significant improvement with respect to the Feynman approximation $ω_F(q)= q^2(2mS(q))^{-1}$. A further, stronger bound, requiring the additional knowledge of the current correlation function is also investigated. New results for the current correlation function are presented.

description: This article presents an adaptive rationalized Haar function approximation method to solve dynamic optimization with mixed-integer and discontinuous controls. Three measures are taken to deal with the discontinuity. First, the problem is converted into a multi-stage optimization problem by non-uniform control vector parameterization. Secondly, an adaptive strategy is proposed to regulate the interval division and the order of Haar function vectors. Thirdly, a structure detection method is presented to refine the subintervals, in which adjacent arcs with the same input type are merged into one to modify redundant subintervals. During this approximation solution, the mixed-integer restriction is realized by the integer truncation strategy. Combined with the Hamiltonian function, a validation principle is shown to verify the optimality of the solution. Finally, the proposed method is applied to solve the enhanced oil recovery for alkali–surfactant–polymer flooding. The effectiveness of the method is illustrated through simulation.
