description: Plasmon-exciton polaritons provide exciting possibilities to control light-matter interactions at the nanoscale by enabling closer investigation of quantum optical effects and facilitating novel technologies based, for instance, on Bose-Einstein condensation and polaritonic lasing. Nevertheless, observing and visualising polaritons is challenging, and traditional optical microscopy techniques often lead to ambiguities regarding the emergence and strength of the plasmon-exciton coupling. Electron microscopy offers a more robust means to study and verify the nature of plexcitons, but is still hindered by instrument limitations and resolution. A simple theoretical description of electron beam-excited plexcitons is therefore vital to complement ongoing experimental efforts. Here we apply analytic solutions for the electron-loss and photon-emission probabilities to evaluate plasmon-exciton coupling studied either with the recently adopted technique of electron energy-loss spectroscopy, or with the so-far unexplored in this context cathodoluminescence spectroscopy. Foreseeing the necessity to account for quantum corrections in the plasmonic response, we extend these solutions within the framework of general nonlocal hydrodynamic descriptions. As a specific example we study core-shell spherical emitter-molecule hybrids, going beyond the standard local-response approximation through the hydrodynamic Drude model for screening and the generalised nonlocal optical response theory for nonlocal damping. We show that electron microscopies are extremely powerful in describing the interaction of emitters with the otherwise weakly excited by optical means higher-order plasmonic multipoles, a response that survives when quantum-informed models are considered.

description: Numerical simulations show that the migration of growing planetary cores may be dominated by turbulent fluctuations in the protoplanetary disk, rather than by any mean property of the flow. We quantify the impact of this stochastic core migration on the formation time scale and core mass of giant planets at the onset of runaway gas accretion. For standard Solar Nebula conditions, the formation of Jupiter can be accelerated by almost an order of magnitude if the growing core executes a random walk with an amplitude of a few tenths of an au. A modestly reduced surface density of planetesimals allows Jupiter to form within 10 Myr, with an initial core mass below 10 Earth masses, in better agreement with observational constraints. For extrasolar planetary systems, the results suggest that core accretion could form massive planets in disks with lower metallicities, and shorter lifetimes, than the Solar Nebula.

description: This study evaluates the reporting of income as taxpayers may attempt to take advantage of the difference between the tax rates on personal and corporate income. In deriving the estimable equation, this analysis models regional economic activity within a dynamic macroecononomic framework with various government revenue sources and multiple expenditure categories. In addition, the model incorporates income shifting with convex adjustment costs. The sample includes the 48 contiguous U.S. states with annual observations ranging from 1977 through 2008. The findings suggest state personal income as a share of output grows the fastest when taxing personal income at a lower top marginal rate than corporate income and as the degree of income tax integration diminishes. The findings are consistent with the hypothesis that tax rate differentials induce economic agents to shift reported income into the relatively low taxed income.

description: Hyperbolic umbilic (HU) is a point singularity of the gravitational lens equation, giving rise to a ring-shaped image formation made of four highly magnified images, off-centred from the lens centre. Recent observations have revealed new strongly lensed image formations near HU singularities, and many more are expected in ongoing and future observations. Like fold/cusp, image formations near HU also satisfy magnification relation ($R_{\rm hu}$), i.e., the signed magnification sum of the four images equals zero. Here, we study how $R_{\rm hu}$ deviates from zero as a function of area ($A_{\rm hu}$) covered by the image formation near HU and the distance ($d$) of the central maxima image (which is part of the HU image formation) from the lens centre for ideal single- and double-component cluster-scale lenses. For lens ellipticity values $\geq0.3$, the central maxima image will form sufficiently far from the lens centre ($d\gtrsim5''$), similar to the observed HU image formations with $R_{\rm hu}\simeq0$. We also find that, in some cases, double-component and actual cluster-scale lenses can lead to large cross-sections for HU image formations for sources at $z\gtrsim5$, effectively increasing the chances to observe HU image formation at high redshifts. Finally, we study the time delay distribution in the observed HU image formations, finding that not only are these images highly magnified, but the relative time delay between various pairs of HU characteristic image formation has a typical value of $\sim100$ days, an order of magnitude smaller than generic five-image formations in cluster lenses, making such image formations optimal targets for time delay cosmography studies.

description: Single-layer transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) can adopt two distinct structures corresponding to different coordination of the metal atoms. TMDCs adopting the T-type structure exhibit a rich and diverse set of phenomena, including charge density waves (CDW) in a $\sqrt{13}\times\sqrt{13}$ supercell pattern in TaS$_2$ and TaSe$_2$, and a possible excitonic insulating phase in TiSe$_2$. These properties make the T-TMDCs desirable components of layered heterostructure devices. In order to predict the emergent properties of combinations of different layered materials, one needs simple and accurate models for the constituent layers which can take into account potential effects of lattice mismatch, relaxation, strain, and structural distortion. Previous studies have developed ab initio tight-binding Hamiltonians for H-type TMDCs [arXiv:1709.07510]. Here we extend this work to include T-type TMDCs. We demonstrate the capabilities of our model using three example systems: a 1-dimensional sinusoidal ripple, the 2$\times$2 CDW in TiSe$_2$, and the $\sqrt{13}\times\sqrt{13}$ CDW in TaS$_2$. Using the technique of band unfolding we compare the electronic structure of the distorted crystals to the pristine band structure and find excellent agreement with direct DFT calculations, provided the magnitude of the distortions remains in the linear regime.

description: We present 7-mm continuum observations of 14 low-mass pre-main-sequence stars in the Taurus-Auriga star-forming region obtained with the Very Large Array with ~1.5" resolution and ~0.3 mJy rms sensitivity. For 10 objects, the circumstellar emission has been spatially resolved. The large outer disk radii derived suggest that the emission at this wavelength is mostly optically thin. The millimetre spectral energy distributions are characterised by spectral indices alpha = 2.3 to 3.2. After accounting for contribution from free-free emission and corrections for optical depth, we determine dust opacity indices beta in the range 0.5 to 1.6, which suggest that millimetre-sized dust aggregates are present in the circumstellar disks. Four of the sources with beta > 1 may be consistent with submicron-sized dust as found in the interstellar medium. Our findings indicate that dust grain growth to millimetre-sized particles is completed within less than 1 Myr for the majority of circumstellar disks.

description: This article analysis differential equations which represents damped and fractional oscillators. First, it is shown that prior to using physical quantities in fractional calculus, it is imperative that they are turned dimensionless. Afterwards, approximated expressions that relate the two equations parameters for the case that the fractional order is close to an integer number are presented. Following, a numerical regression is made using power series expansion, and, also from fractional calculus, the fact that both equations cannot be equivalent is concluded. In the end, from the numerical regression data, the analytical approximated expressions that relate the two equations' parameters are refined.

description: In this paper we analyse the transport mode and route preferences of Irish manufacturers/exporters when shipping goods to Continental Europe. We use an efficient discrete choice experiment to model the impact of various transport attributes on the final Irish manufacturers’ choice of shipping mode/route. In particular, we consider the decision to be made between two routes; one in which goods are shipped to the continent via the UK landbridge and the other in which goods are shipped direct to the continent without UK passage. Generally, these two routes are associated with contrasting levels of service in terms of reliability. The degree to which exporters are willing to make trade-offs in terms of variation in service attribute is of particular interest in this study, as it is envisaged that increased congestion and emissions levies within the UK are likely to reduce the competitiveness of the UK landbridge option, and increase demand on the direct service route. Results from this study contribute to the understanding of the demand for international freight transport services in Ireland to continental Europe and will assist in estimating the potential impact of road-freight taxation on the logistics competitiveness of the export sector in Ireland.

description: Despite the increasing interest in enhancing perception systems for autonomous vehicles, the online calibration between event cameras and LiDAR - two sensors pivotal in capturing comprehensive environmental information - remains unexplored. We introduce MULi-Ev, the first online, deep learning-based framework tailored for the extrinsic calibration of event cameras with LiDAR. This advancement is instrumental for the seamless integration of LiDAR and event cameras, enabling dynamic, real-time calibration adjustments that are essential for maintaining optimal sensor alignment amidst varying operational conditions. Rigorously evaluated against the real-world scenarios presented in the DSEC dataset, MULi-Ev not only achieves substantial improvements in calibration accuracy but also sets a new standard for integrating LiDAR with event cameras in mobile platforms. Our findings reveal the potential of MULi-Ev to bolster the safety, reliability, and overall performance of event-based perception systems in autonomous driving, marking a significant step forward in their real-world deployment and effectiveness.

description: This paper offers a new theory of relationship between corruption and the shadow economy, one that defines it as either collusive – i.e., crony – or non - collusive. Using new estimates of state - level shadow economy size and data on corruption convictions of U.S. public officials for the 48 contiguous states, this study revisits this relationship empirically, controlling for spatial dependence. Additionally, the relationship between entrepreneurship and cronyism is investigated using productive entrepreneurship scores from Wiseman and Young (2014). Findings suggest that corruption and shadow economy size are positively related and both contagious and cross - contagious in the U.S. states. These results are fairly robust to several methods of spatial modeling. Results also reveal that productive entrepreneurship is contagious across states. Finally, this study attempt s to draw a linkage among formal sector entrepreneurial outcomes, corruption, and the shadow economy using spatial GMM/IV modeling in an entrepreneurship regression.

description: We show that a flow (timelike congruence) in any type $B_{1}$ warped product spacetime is uniquely and algorithmically determined by the condition of zero flux. (Though restricted, these spaces include many cases of interest.) The flow is written out explicitly for canonical representations of the spacetimes. With the flow determined, we explore an inverse approach to Einstein's equations where a phenomenological fluid interpretation of a spacetime follows directly from the metric irrespective of the choice of coordinates. This approach is pursued for fluids with anisotropic pressure and shear viscosity. In certain degenerate cases this interpretation is shown to be generically not unique. The framework developed allows the study of exact solutions in any frame without transformations. We provide a number of examples, in various coordinates, including spacetimes with and without unique interpretations. The results and algorithmic procedure developed are implemented as a computer algebra program called GRSource.

The predicted number density of luminous X-ray AGNs (L_X>10^{44.5} erg/s in the 2-10 keV band) peaks at z around 2 with a decline of around 3 dex to z=0; for the low luminosity sources (10^{43}

description: We study the connection between collider and dark matter phenomenology in the singlet extension of the Georgi-Machacek model. In this framework, the singlet scalar serves as a suitable thermal dark matter (DM) candidate. Our focus lies on the region $v_χ<1$ GeV, where $v_χ$ is the common vacuum expectation value of the neutral components of the scalar triplets of the model. Setting bounds on the model parameters from theoretical, electroweak precision and LHC experimental constraints, we find that the BSM Higgs sector is highly constrained. Allowed values for the masses of the custodial fiveplets, triplets and singlet are restricted to the range $140~ {\rm GeV }< M_{H_5} < 350~ {\rm GeV }$, $150~ {\rm GeV }< M_{H_3} < 270 ~{\rm GeV }$ and $145~ {\rm GeV }< M_{H} < 300~ {\rm GeV }$. The extended scalar sector provides new channels for DM annihilation into BSM scalars that allow to satisfy the observed relic density constraint while being consistent with direct DM detection limits. The allowed region of the parameter space of the model can be explored in the upcoming DM detection experiments, both direct and indirect. In particular, the possible high values of BR$(H^0_5\toγγ)$ can lead to an indirect DM signal within the reach of CTA. The same feature also provides the possibility of exploring the model at the High-Luminosity run of the LHC. In a simple cut-based analysis, we find that a signal of about $4σ$ significance can be achieved in final states with at least two photons for one of our benchmark points.

When the dependence between the additive Gaussian noise and the quadratic phase noise is taking into account, the joint statistics of quadratic phase noise and additive Gaussian noise is derived analytically. When the error probability for differential phase-shift keying (DPSK) signals is evaluated, depending on the number of fiber spans, the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) penalty is increased by up to 0.23 dB due to the dependence between the Gaussian noise and the quadratic phase noise.

description: In fisheries characterised by multiple target species, and in particular those with joint harvesting technologies, managers can inadvertently impact numerous species under management by way of single species focused regulatory measures. By curtailing the capacity of fishers to attain revenues from a particular species, effort is displaced and often directed towards alternative species. Treating fishers as utility maximising agents, in which utility (and thus species targeting effort) is positively associated with expected revenue and negatively associated with revenue variability, this paper employs portfolio theory to analyse fishers’ species targeting choices in the Irish Hake-Monkfish-Megrim and Cod-Haddock-Whiting fisheries. The particular concern is adjustments to targeting decisions when species-specific quota constraints are implemented. The analysis uses the utility maximising assumption in a mean variance optimisation framework to approximate fishers’ objective function. Species targeting behavioural changes, identified as changes in the species composition of fishers’ optimal harvest portfolio, suggest significant displacement of fleet into alternative fisheries occurs when barriers to such alternation do not exist.

Die Unterstützung frühen Spiels ist darum zentraler Inhalt der Heilpädagogischen Früherziehung (HFE) in Familien hörsehbehinderter Kinder. In der Literatur gibt es jedoch kaum Hinweise zur Umsetzung. Zudem ist das Fachpersonal nur selten spezifisch zu Hörsehbehinderung ausgebildet. Darum wird hier den Fragen nachgegangen, welche Bedürfnisse und Ressourcen Eltern diesbezüglich haben und was die HFE dazu anbietet. Die quantitative Fragebogenerhebung bei 12 Elternteilen und 27 Fachpersonen der HFE ergibt, dass ein individuell angepasstes, familienorientiertes Vorgehen sowie die Verbreitung spezifischen Fachwissens benötigt werden. Ausserdem wird der Bedarf an wissenschaftlicher Vertiefung im Bereich Hörsehbehindertenpädagogik deutlich.

description: The fundamental process of detecting and examining the polarization modes of gravitational waves plays a pivotal role in enhancing our grasp on the precise mechanisms behind their generation. A thorough investigation is essential for delving deeper into the essence of gravitational waves and rigorously evaluating and validating the range of modified gravity theories. In this line of interest, a general description of black holes in theories beyond general relativity can serve a meaningful purpose where distinct deviation parameters can be mapped to solutions representing distinct theories. Employing a refined version of the deformed Kerr geometry, which is free from pathological behaviours such as unphysical divergences in the metric, we explore an extreme mass-ratio inspiral system, wherein a stellar-mass object perturbs a supermassive black hole. We compute the effects of deformation parameters on the rate of change of orbital energy and angular momentum, orbital evolution and phase dynamics with leading order post-Newtonian corrections. With the waveform analysis, we assess the plausibility of detecting deviations from general relativity through observations facilitated by the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA), simultaneously constraining the extent of these deviations. Therefore, this analysis provides an understanding while highlighting the essential role of observations in advancing gravitational phenomena beyond general relativity.

description: A difference equation w.r.t. space-time dimension $d$ for $n$-point one-loop integrals with arbitrary momenta and masses is introduced and a solution presented. The result can in general be written as multiple hypergeometric series with ratios of different Gram determinants as expansion variables. Detailed considerations for $2-,3-$ and $4-$point functions are given. For the $2-$ point function we reproduce a known result in terms of the Gauss hypergeometric function $_2F_1$. For the $3-$point function an expression in terms of $_2F_1$ and the Appell hypergeometric function $F_1$ is given. For the $4-$point function a new representation in terms of $_2F_1$, $F_1$ and the Lauricella-Saran functions $F_S$ is obtained. For arbitrary $d=4-2ε$, momenta and masses the $2-,3-$ and $4-$point functions admit a simple one-fold integral representation. This representation will be useful for the calculation of contributions from the $ε-$ expansion needed in higher orders of perturbation theory. Physically interesting examples of $3-$ and $4-$point functions occurring in Bhabha scattering are investigated.

description: For a finite poset $P=(X,\prec)$, let $\mathcal{L}_P$ denote the set of linear extensions of $P$. The sorting probability $δ(P)$ is defined as \[δ(P) \, := \, \min_{x,y\in X} \, \bigl| \mathbf{P} \, [L(x)\leq L(y) ] \ - \ \mathbf{P} \, [L(y)\leq L(x) ] \bigr|\,, \] where $L \in \mathcal{L}_P$ is a uniform linear extension of $P$. We give asymptotic upper bounds on sorting probabilities for posets associated with large Young diagrams and large skew Young diagrams, with bounded number of rows.

description: In recent years, the importance of the marine environment has become prevalent, however it still faces many threats. One course of action for effective management of the marine environment requires the adoption of an ecosystem approach, as the topdown management strategy has often proved unsuccessful. The ecosystem based approach considers public perception and encourages agencies to consider the public when making decisions in order to have public participation or ‘buy in’ to the various policies/strategies for the management of the resources. A number of studies on public perceptions of the marine environment have been conducted in line with the ecosystem approach. This dissertation reviews the extensive literature on the public perception studies of the marine environment and provides recommendations for influencing environmentally conscious behaviour in society.

title: An Experimental and Finite Element Study of the Protective Mechanisms of Sports Mouthguards
Creators: name: Paterson, Niall
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2006

description: This work presents a broad investigation into the protective mechanisms and design specifications of sports mouthguards, motivated by the need to standardise testing of these personal protective devices.

A mechanical model in the form of an artificial jaw was developed to allow impact testing of a range of mouthguards in situ. The protective capabilities of different design features were assessed, with thicker larger mouthguards performing best. Various forms of tooth fracture were investigated and the influence of the embedding method was linked to the type of fracture seen.

A user study was also conducted that compared the same range of mouthguards investigated in the impact tests, but in term of user perceptions of comfort prior to fitting the mouthguard, after fitting the mouthguard and after mild exercise. The concept of familiarisation was found to have a significant influence on the perception of comfort. Clear trends could be seen with respect to exercise, user experience, and specific design features such as thin soft material and close fit.

Static 3D and dynamic 2D FE modelling were carried out to investigate the protective mechanisms of idealised mouthguards in simple linear elastic models. The concepts of cushioning and support were defined and explored. Cushioning is the mechanisms by which soft layers reduce impact stresses. Support is the mechanism by which rigid layers share the load over neighbouring teeth. FE modelling showed that bi-layer and tri-layer guards can offer superior protection compared to monolayer guards by combining the requirements of cushioning and support. However, the optimum design parameters of mouthguards depend upon the type of load, and so there is no universal solution for all risks. Hence it is proposed to classify the requirements of any particular mouthguard application in terms of cushioning and support, based on a probability of impact characteristics occurring.

Brane cosmology with a van der Waals equation of state

description: The evolution of a Universe confined onto a 3-brane embedded in a five-dimensional space-time is investigated where the cosmological fluid on the brane is modeled by the van der Waals equation of state. It is shown that the Universe on the brane evolves in such a manner that three distinct periods concerning its acceleration field are attained: (a) an initial accelerated epoch where the van der Waals fluid behaves like a scalar field with a negative pressure; (b) a past decelerated period which has two contributions, one of them is related to the van der Waals fluid which behaves like a matter field with a positive pressure, whereas the other contribution comes from a term of the Friedmann equation on the brane which is inversely proportional to the scale factor to the fourth power and can be interpreted as a radiation field, and (c) a present accelerated phase due to a cosmological constant on the brane.

description: Explicit Riemannian metrics with Euclidean signature and anti-self dual curvature that do not admit any Killing vectors are presented. The metric and the Riemann curvature scalars are homogenous functions of degree zero in a single real potential and its derivatives. The solution for the potential is a sum of exponential functions which suggests that for the choice of a suitable domain of coordinates and parameters it can be the metric on a compact manifold. Then, by the theorem of Hitchin, it could be a class of metrics on $K3$, or on surfaces whose universal covering is $K3$.

description: We determine the inclusive B --> Xc l nu branching fraction, the CKM matrix element |Vcb|, and other heavy-quark parameters from a simultaneous fit to moments of the hadronic-mass and lepton-energy distributions in semileptonic B-meson decays, measured as a function of the lower limit on the lepton energy, using data recorded with the BABAR detector. Using Heavy Quark Expansions (HQEs) to order 1/mb^3, we extract BR_cenu=(10.61 +- 0.16(exp) +- 0.06(HQE))% and |Vcb| = (41.4 +- 0.4(exp) +- 0.4(HQE) +- 0.6(th)) 10^-3. The stated errors refer to the experimental, HQE, and additional theoretical uncertainties.
