description: We study the phase behavior of a symmetric binary polymer blend which is confined into a thin film. The film surfaces interact with the monomers via short range potentials. We calculate the phase behavior within the self-consistent field theory of Gaussian chains. Over a wide range of parameters we find strong first order wetting transitions for the semi-infinite system, and the interplay between the wetting/prewetting behavior and the phase diagram in confined geometry is investigated. Antisymmetric boundaries, where one surface attracts the A component with the same strength than the opposite surface attracts the B component, are applied. The phase transition does not occur close to the bulk critical temperature but in the vicinity of the wetting transition. For very thin films or weak surface fields one finds a single critical point at $ϕ_c=1/2$. For thicker films or stronger surface fields the phase diagram exhibits two critical points and two concomitant coexistence regions. Only below a triple point there is a single two phase coexistence region. When we increase the film thickness the two coexistence regions become the prewetting lines of the semi-infinite system, while the triple temperature converges towards the wetting transition temperature from above. The behavior close to the tricritical point, which separates phase diagrams with one and two critical points, is studied in the framework of a Ginzburg-Landau ansatz. Two-dimensional profiles of the interface between the laterally coexisting phases are calculated, and the interfacial and line tensions analyzed. The effect of fluctuations and corrections to the self-consistent field theory are discussed.

description: To trace the origin of time-reversal symmetry breaking (TRSB) in Re-based superconductors, we performed comparative muon-spin rotation/relaxation ($μ$SR) studies of superconducting noncentrosymmetric Re$_{0.82}$Nb$_{0.18}$ ($T_c = 8.8$ K) and centrosymmetric Re ($T_c = 2.7$ K). In Re$_{0.82}$Nb$_{0.18}$, the low temperature superfluid density and the electronic specific heat evidence a fully-gapped superconducting state, whose enhanced gap magnitude and specific-heat discontinuity suggest a moderately strong electron-phonon coupling. In both Re$_{0.82}$Nb$_{0.18}$ and pure Re, the spontaneous magnetic fields revealed by zero-field $μ$SR below $T_c$ indicate time-reversal symmetry breaking and thus unconventional superconductivity. The concomitant occurrence of TRSB in centrosymmetric Re and noncentrosymmetric Re$T$ ($T$ = transition metal), yet its preservation in the isostructural noncentrosymmetric superconductors Mg$_{10}$Ir$_{19}$B$_{16}$ and Nb$_{0.5}$Os$_{0.5}$, strongly suggests that the local electronic structure of Re is crucial for understanding the TRSB superconducting state in Re and Re$T$. We discuss the superconducting order parameter symmetries that are compatible with the observations.

description: We develop mean-field kinetic equations for a lattice gas model of a binary alloy with vacancies (ABv model) in which diffusion takes place by a vacancy mechanism. These equations are applied to the study of phase separation of finite portions of an unstable mixture immersed in a stable vapor. Due to a larger mobility of surface atoms, the most unstable modes of spinodal decomposition are localized at the vapor-mixture interface. Simulations show checkerboard-like structures at the surface or surface-directed spinodal waves. We determine the growth rates of bulk and surface modes by a linear stability analysis and deduce the relation between the parameters of the model and the structure and length scale of the surface patterns. The thickness of the surface patterns is related to the concentration fluctuations in the initial state.

Interpolating the Stage of Exponential Expansion in the Early Universe: a possible alternative with no reheating

description: In the standard picture, the inflationary universe is in a supercooled state which ends with a short time, large scale reheating period, after which the universe goes into a radiation dominated stage. An alternative is proposed here in which the radiation energy density smoothly decreases all during an inflation-like stage and with no discontinuity enters the subsequent radiation dominated stage. The scale factor is calculated from standard Friedmann cosmology in the presence of both radiation and vacuum energy density. A large class of solutions confirm the above identified regime of non-reheating inflation-like behavior for observationally consistent expansion factors and not too large a drop in the radiation energy density. One dynamical realization of such inflation without reheating is from warm inflation type scenarios. However the solutions found here are properties of the Einstein equations with generality beyond slow-roll inflation scenarios. The solutions also can be continuously interpolated from the non-reheating type behavior to the standard supercooled limit of exponential expansion, thus giving all intermediate inflation-like behavior between these two extremes. The temperature of the universe and the expansion factor are calculated for various cases. Implications for baryongenesis are discussed. This non-reheating, inflation-like regime also appears to have some natural features for a universe that is between nearly flat and open.

description: We propose an adaptive importance sampling scheme for the simulation of rare events when the underlying dynamics is given by a diffusion. The scheme is based on a Gibbs variational principle that is used to determine the optimal (i.e. zero-variance) change of measure and exploits the fact that the latter can be rephrased as a stochastic optimal control problem. The control problem can be solved by a stochastic approximation algorithm, using the Feynman-Kac representation of the associated dynamic programming equations, and we discuss numerical aspects for high-dimensional problems along with simple toy examples.

description: A search for heavy long-lived multi-charged particles is performed using the ATLAS detector at the LHC. Data with an integrated luminosity of 36.1 fb$^{-1}$ collected in 2015 and 2016 from proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV are examined. Particles producing anomalously high ionization, consistent with long-lived massive particles with electric charges from |q|=2e to |q|=7e, are searched for. No events are observed, and 95% confidence level cross-section upper limits are interpreted as lower mass limits for a Drell-Yan production model. Multi-charged particles with masses between 50 GeV and 980-1220 GeV (depending on their electric charge) are excluded.

description: Let $B=\{ B_{t}\} _{t\ge 0}$ be a one-dimensional standard Brownian motion, to which we associate the exponential additive functional $A_{t}=\int _{0}^{t}e^{2B_{s}}ds,\,t\ge 0$. Starting from a simple observation of generalized inverse Gaussian distributions with particular sets of parameters, we show, with the help of a result by Matsumoto--Yor (2000), that for every $x\in \mathbb{R}$ and for every finite stopping time $τ$ of the process $\{ e^{-B_{t}}A_{t}\} _{t\ge 0}$, there holds the identity in law \begin{align*} \left( e^{B_τ}\!\sinh x+β(A_{τ}), \, Ce^{B_τ}\!\cosh x+\hatβ(A_{τ}), \, e^{-B_{τ}}\!A_{τ} \right) \stackrel{(d)}{=} \left( \sinh (x+B_{τ}), \, C\cosh (x+B_{τ}), \, e^{-B_{τ}}\!A_{τ} \right) , \end{align*} which extends an identity due to Bougerol (1983) in several aspects. Here $β=\{ β(t)\} _{t\ge 0}$ and $\hatβ=\{ \hatβ(t)\} _{t\ge 0}$ are one-dimensional standard Brownian motions, $C$ is a standard Cauchy variable, and $B$, $β$, $\hatβ$ and $C$ are independent. Using an argument relevant to derivation of the above identity, we also present some invariance formulae for Cauchy variable involving an independent Rademacher variable.

description: Using the CLEO II detector we have performed the first search for $CP$ violation in tau lepton decay. CP violation in lepton decay does not occur in the minimal standard model but can occur in extensions such as the multi-Higgs doublet model. It appears as a characteristic difference between the $τ^+$ and $τ^-$ decay angular distributions for the semi-leptonic decay modes such as $τ^- \to K^0 π^- ν$. We define an observable asymmetry to exploit this and find no evidence for any CP violation.

description: The effective restoration and development of cocoa orchards depends in large part on the growth and health of young cocoa trees in the nursery. Our work aims to investigate possibilities for improving the quality of cocoa tree seedlings in nurseries by investigating the impact of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) in combination with cocoa pod husk biochar and pig manure on the growth performance and health status of cocoa seedlings. The experiment was carried out in a farming environment in Nkolandom, (Southern Cameroon region). A two factors completely randomized block design was used. Treatments resulted from the combination of two factors: the presence or absence of mycorrhizal fungi and the type of organic fertilizer added to the substrate (simple substrate, substrate + 9 g of biochar per kg of soil, and substrate + 30 g of pig manure per kg of soil). The growth of cocoa seedlings was significantly (p < 0.05) improved by biochar and the mycorrhizae-biochar combination, which showed the best results in terms of height (26.62 and 24.63 cm respectively), stem circumference (1.7 and 1.6 cm), leaf area (743.51 and 532.98 cm2), fresh biomass and seedling vigor index compared to the control and pig manure after twelve weeks in the nursery. Evaluation of health status revealed that mycorrhizal and non-mycorrhizal plants, in combination with biochar, were the least susceptible to the observed symptoms (leaf necrosis and stem lesions) in contrast to pig manure treated plants and the control. The results imply that mycorrhizal fungi and cocoa pod husk biochar can positively improve the growth and health status of cocoa trees in the nursery, which is an important basis for promoting the adaptability of transplanted cocoa trees in their future agro-ecosystem.

description: A formally exact Bethe-Salpeter-like equation for the linear-response function is introduced with a kernel which depends only on the one frequency of the applied field. This is in contrast with the standard Bethe-Salpeter equation (BSE) which involves multiple-frequency integrals over the kernel and response functions. From the one-frequency kernel, known approximations are straightforwardly recovered. However, the present formalism lends itself to more powerful approximations. This is demonstrated with the exact analytical solution of the Hubbard molecule. Similarities and differences of the $GW$+BSE approach with the self-consistent random-phase approximation (RPA) is also discussed.

description: Recent developments in string theory have brought forth a considerable interest in time-dependent hair on extended objects. This novel new hair is typically characterized by a wave profile along the horizon and angular momentum quantum numbers $l,m$ in the transverse space. In this work, we present an extensive treatment of such oscillating black objects, focusing on their geometric properties. We first give a theorem of purely geometric nature, stating that such wavy hair cannot be detected by any scalar invariant built out of the curvature and/or matter fields. However, we show that the tidal forces detected by an infalling observer diverge at the `horizon' of a black string superposed with a vibration in any mode with $l \ge 1$. The same argument applied to longitudinal ($l=0$) waves detects only finite tidal forces. We also provide an example with a manifestly smooth metric, proving that at least a certain class of these longitudinal waves have regular horizons.

Shearing-box simulations of MRI-driven turbulence in weakly collisional accretion discs

description: We present a systematic shearing-box investigation of MRI-driven turbulence in a weakly collisional plasma by including the effects of an anisotropic pressure stress, i.e. anisotropic (Braginskii) viscosity. We constrain the pressure anisotropy ($Δp$) to lie within the stability bounds that would be otherwise imposed by kinetic microinstabilities. We explore a broad region of parameter space by considering different Reynolds numbers and magnetic-field configurations, including net vertical flux, net toroidal-vertical flux and zero net flux. Remarkably, we find that the level of turbulence and angular-momentum transport are not greatly affected by large anisotropic viscosities: the Maxwell and Reynolds stresses do not differ much from the MHD result. Angular-momentum transport in Braginskii MHD still depends strongly on isotropic dissipation, e.g., the isotropic magnetic Prandtl number, even when the anisotropic viscosity is orders of magnitude larger than the isotropic diffusivities. Braginskii viscosity nevertheless changes the flow structure, rearranging the turbulence to largely counter the parallel rate of strain from the background shear. We also show that the volume-averaged pressure anisotropy and anisotropic viscous transport decrease with increasing isotropic Reynolds number (${\rm Re}$); e.g., in simulations with net vertical field, the ratio of anisotropic to Maxwell stress ($α_{\rm A} / α_{\rm M}$) decreases from $\sim 0.5$ to $\sim 0.1$ as we move from ${\rm Re} \sim 10^3$ to ${\rm Re} \sim 10^4$. Anisotropic transport may thus become negligible at high ${\rm Re}$. Anisotropic viscosity nevertheless becomes the dominant source of heating at large ${\rm Re}$, accounting for $\gtrsim 50 \%$ of the plasma heating. We conclude by briefly discussing the implications of our results for RIAFs onto black holes.

Manifold Coherence: Rethinking Biological Complexity in Health and Disease
Creators: name: Todd, Ian
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2025

description: Traditional approaches to biological complexity have largely focused on quanti- tative measures that fail to capture the qualitative nature of biological organization. This paper proposes a theoretical reframing of biological complexity as manifold coher- ence within hyperdimensional information spaces. Rather than measuring complexity through component counts, we argue that the essence of biological complexity lies in the coherent organization of information across multiple interacting dimensions. The endocrine system provides compelling evidence for this framework: in metabolic syndrome, for example, disrupted coherence between insulin, glucagon, and cortisol rhythms—rather than simply abnormal levels of any single hormone—drives pathol- ogy. We provide mathematical formalizations using phase coherence analysis, differ- ential geometry, and topological data analysis to quantify manifold coherence, explore its clinical applications, and outline testable hypotheses. This framework offers new perspectives on health, disease, and adaptation with significant implications for clinical practice, particularly in endocrinology.

In addition to a nearly isotropic phonon heat transport, we find a quasi one-dimensional excess thermal conductivity along the chain direction, most likely associated with spin excitations (spinons). The spinon energy current is limited mainly by scattering on defects and phonons. Analyzing the specific heat data, the intrachain magnetic exchange $J/k_{B}$ is estimated to be 2650 K.

description: The effects of a surfactant on two-dimensional pattern formation in epitaxial growth are explored theoretically using a simple model, in which an adatom becomes immobile only after overcoming a large energy barrier as it exchanges positions with a surfactant atom, and subsequent growth from such a seed is further shielded. Within this model, a fractal-to-compact island shape transition can be induced by either decreasing the growth temperature or increasing the deposition flux. This and other intriguing findings are in excellent qualitative agreement with recent experiments.

description: We consider a fractional quantum Hall bilayer system with an interface between quantum Hall states of filling fractions $(ν_{\text{top}},ν_{\text{bottom}})=(1,1)$ and $(1/3,2)$, motivated by a recent approach to engineering artificial edges~\cite{2018NatPh..14..411R}. We show that random tunneling and strong repulsive interactions within one of the layers will drive the system to a stable fixed point with two counterpropagating charge modes which have attractive interactions. As a result, slowly decaying correlations on the edge become predominantly superconducting. We discuss the resulting observable effects, and derive general requirements for electron attraction in Abelian quantum Hall states. The broader interest in fractional quantum Hall edge with quasi-long range superconducting order lies in the prospects of hosting exotic anyonic boundary excitations, that may serve as a platform for topological quantum computation.

description: This article presents an exhaustive classification of metric-affine theories according to their scale symmetries. First it is clarified that there are three relevant definitions of a scale transformation. These correspond to a projective transformation of the connection, a rescaling of the orthonormal frame, and a combination of the two. The most general second order quadratic metric-affine action, including the parity-violating terms, is constructed in each of the three cases. The results can be straightforwardly generalised by including higher derivatives, and implemented in the general metric-affine, teleparallel, and symmetric teleparallel geometries.

description: We propose a new version of the hybrid inflation scenario that produces a significantly tilted n>1 spectrum of curvature perturbations. This may happen in supersymmetric models where the inflaton field acquires a mass proportional to the Hubble constant, and in the models where this field non-minimally couples to gravity. A large tilt of the spectrum in this scenario is often accompanied by a considerable contribution of tensor perturbations to the temperature anisotropies. We also show that under certain conditions the spectrum of density perturbations in this scenario may have a minimum on an intermediate length scale.

description: We construct a holographic dual of the Schwinger-Keldysh effective action for the dissipative low-energy dynamics of relativistic charged matter at strong coupling in a fixed thermal background. To do so, we use a mixed signature bulk spacetime whereby an eternal asymptotically anti-de Sitter black hole is glued to its Euclidean counterpart along an initial time slice in a way to match the desired double-time contour of the dual field theory. Our results are consistent with existing literature and can be regarded as a fully-ab initio derivation of a Schwinger-Keldysh effective action. In addition, we provide a simple infrared effective action for the near horizon region that drives all the dissipation and can be viewed as an alternative to the membrane paradigm approximation.

description: A detailed study of pion production in central Mg-Mg collisions at a momentum of 4.3 GeV/c per incident nucleon was carried out with use of the setup GIBS. The average kinematical characteristics of pions (multiplicity n_, momentum P, transverse momentum P_{T}, emission angle Q, rapidity Y) and corresponding distributions have been obtained. The experimental results have been compared with the predictions of the Quark Gluon String Model (QGSM) and satisfactory agreement between the experimental data and the model has been found. The QGSM reproduces also the dependence of average P_{T} on n_{-}. The temperatures of pi^{-} mesons have been estimated in the rapidity interval of 0.5<=Y<=2.1. A satisfactory fit for pi^{-} mesons has been achieved by using a form involving two temperatures T_{1} and T_{2}. It was found that the QGSM underestimates T_{2} by (10-15)%. The data have been analyzed using the transverse momentum technique. The observed dependence of the on Y shows the S-shape behaviour. The slope at midrapidity F had been determined. The QGSM reproduces the distribution satisfactorily, but underestimates the parameter F.

description: In production environment, grinding is often the last step along the process chain. At this step, the main share of the value chain is already manufactured. Correspondingly, the process result of this step directly influences the product quality. Thus, the avoidance of process induced damages is a major challenge in grinding. The major limiting factor in grinding is the thermal load on the workpiece, which leads to grinding burn and tensile residual stresses. This thermal load can be reduced, as previous fundamental studies have shown, by means of using microstructured grinding wheels. In this paper, the patterning process of profile grinding wheels is investigated with regard to the resulting geometry and the resulting grinding wheel topography. In detail, an analytical model is established and evaluated that enables a design of the patterning process of profile grinding wheels. The presented formulas describe the local depth and width of a pattern over its length of engagement. The influence of the inclination angle of the patterning tool and the profile angle of the grinding wheel on the resulting width and length of one pattern is investigated. Further influencing parameters on the size of a pattern that are investigated are e.g. the radius of the grinding wheel, the radius of the patterning tool, the corner radius of the patterning edge and the speed ratio between the grinding wheel and the patterning tool. In addition, grinding experiments were conducted to validate the process design. The results show a high correlation between the calculated and the resulting patterns on the grinding wheel as well as that a decrease in cutting forces can be achieved by this approach. When maintaining the workpiece and grinding wheel load, the productivity of the profile grinding process can be increased in this way.

description: In this study, twenty samples of fermented cassava was randomly collected from food stuff vendors at Nwakpu, Echara Junction and Agubia  all located in Ikwo L.G.A. The samples were collected in ice-cubed box and transported to the Microbiology Laboratory of Alex Ekwueme Federal University, Ebonyi State for analysis. Serial dilution of each of the samples was made and 0.1ml of the sample homogenate was plated on De Man Ragosa Sharpe agar and incubated at 37oC for 24 hours. The colonies were identified by their morphology and biochemical tests. Eight  isolates were obtained which were of three major different species of lactic acid bacteria such as Lactococcus sp, Streptococcus sp and  Lactobacillus sp. For cholesterol assimilation potential, at 10% cholesterol concentration, the range was from 9.8% for A-1 to 29.8% for BOD 10-2 and ANW10-2. At 40% cholesterol concentration, the assimilation range was from 9.8% for A 10-1 to 64.6% for ANW10-2. For 10% bile salt assimilation, the maximum assimilation potential was for isolate B-2 with 79.9% followed by AOD-1 with bile salt assimilation of 70.9%. The acid tolerance test on the isolates all showed positive results with growth at pH 3.0, pH 4.0 and pH 5.0. All the isolates were negative to alpha hemolysis and beta hemolysis. Out of the eight isolates, all were negative to beta and alpha hemolysis while all isolates were positive to gamma hemolysis except two isolates that showed negative results. The results further demonstrates that the isolates have good probiotic potentials since lactic acid bacteria survival in low pH is a very important characteristic property for their survival in the stomach. This study provides a fundamental knowledge for the selection of good probiotics and microbes that are suitable candidates for use in functional food products.

description: We propose a new mechanism for formation of topological defects in a U(1) model with a local gauge symmetry. This mechanism leads to definite predictions, which are qualitatively different from those of the Kibble-Zurek mechanism of global theories. We confirm these predictions in numerical simulations, and they can also be tested in superconductor experiments. We believe that the mechanism generalizes to more complicated theories.

description: Transport through a Hubbard chain of size N (=1,2,3,...) connected to reservoirs is studied at T = 0 in an electron-hole symmetric case based on the second-order perturbation theory in U. The result shows a typical even-odd property corresponding to a Kondo or Mott-Hubbard physics. In this report, specifically, we study the dependence of the conductance on the coupling between the chain and reservoirs, which was not examined in detail in our previous report [Phy. Rev. B 59, 12240 (1999)].

description: We perform the numerical field evolution for the collision of two Abelian type I cosmic strings. We present evidence that, for collisions at small but characteristic relative velocities and angles, these cosmic strings do not exchange ends and separate. Rather, local higher winding number bound states are formed close to the collision point, which promote multiple local scatterings at right angles and prevent intercommutation from happening. This constitutes the simplest example of the breakdown of the intercommutation rule, usually assumed in the construction of effective models for cosmic string network evolution.

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: Contributions from gluon interactions, which are non-leading in high-energy semi-hard processes, are studied and represented in terms of reggeon exchanges. Unlike the leading gluonic reggeon, related to the BFKL pomeron, the non-leading reggeons are sensitive to the spin and transverse momentum distributions of scattering partons. There are several gluonic reggeons with poles in the vicinity of angular momentum $j=0$ contributing to the perturbative Regge asymptotics of QCD. We extend the high-energy effective action including sub-leading terms which describe these reggeons and their interactions with scattering quarks and gluons in the multi-Regge approximation.

Production of pi+, K+, K0, K*0, phi, p and Lambda-0 in Hadronic Z0 Decays

description: We have measured the differential production cross sections as a function of scaled momentum x_p=2p/E_cm of the identified hadron species pi+, K+, K0, K*0, phi, p, Lambda0, and of the corresponding antihadron species in inclusive hadronic Z0 decays, as well as separately for Z0 decays into light (u, d, s), c and b flavors. Clear flavor dependences are observed, consistent with expectations based upon previously measured production and decay properties of heavy hadrons. These results were used to test the QCD predictions of Gribov and Lipatov, the predictions of QCD in the Modified Leading Logarithm Approximation with the ansatz of Local Parton-Hadron Duality, and the predictions of three fragmentation models. Ratios of production of different hadron species were also measured as a function of x_p and were used to study the suppression of strange meson, strange and non-strange baryon, and vector meson production in the jet fragmentation process. The light-flavor results provide improved tests of the above predictions, as they remove the contribution of heavy hadron production and decay from that of the rest of the fragmentation process. In addition we have compared hadron and antihadron production as a function of x_p in light quark (as opposed to antiquark) jets. Differences are observed at high x_p, providing direct evidence that higher-momentum hadrons are more likely to contain a primary quark or antiquark. The differences for pseudoscalar and vector kaons provide new measurements of strangeness suppression for high-x_p fragmentation products.
