description: We have studied the distribution patterns of lateral density, arrival time and angular position of Cherenkov photons generated in Extensive Air Showers (EASs) initiated by $γ$-ray, proton and iron primaries incident with various energies and at various zenith angles. This study is the extension of our earlier work \cite{Hazarika} to cover a wide energy range of ground based $γ$-ray astronomy with a wide range of zenith angles ($\le 40^\circ$) of primary particles, as well as the extension to study the angular distribution patterns of Cherenkov photons in EASs. This type of study is important for distinguishing the $γ$-ray initiated showers from the hadronic showers in the ground based $γ$-ray astronomy, where Atmospheric Cherenkov Technique (ACT) is being used. Importantly, such study gives an insight on the nature of $γ$-ray and hadronic showers in general. In this work, the CORSIKA 6.990 simulation code is used for generation of EASs. Similarly to the case of Ref.\cite{Hazarika}, this study also revealed that, the lateral density and arrival time distributions of Cherenkov photons vary almost in accordance with the functions: $ρ_{ch}(r) = ρ_{0}\;e^{-βr}$ and $t_{ch}(r) = t_{0}e^{Γ/r^λ}$ respectively by taking different values of the parameters of functions for the type, energy and zenith angle of the primary particle. The distribution of Cherenkov photon's angular positions with respect to shower axis shows distinctive features depending on the primary type, its energy and the zenith angle.

description: Connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) can plan and actuate control that explicitly considers performance, system safety, and actuation constraints in a manner more efficient than their human-driven counterparts. In particular, eco-driving is enabled through connected exchange of information from signalized corridors that share their upcoming signal phase and timing (SPaT). This is accomplished in the proposed control approach, which follows first principles to plan a free-flow acceleration-optimal trajectory through green traffic light intervals by Pontryagin's Minimum Principle in a feedback manner. Urban conditions are then imposed from exogeneous traffic comprised of a mixture of human-driven vehicles (HVs) - as well as other CAVs. As such, safe disturbance compensation is achieved by implementing a model predictive controller (MPC) to anticipate and avoid collisions by issuing braking commands as necessary. The control strategy is experimentally vetted through vehicle-in-the-loop (VIL) of a prototype CAV that is embedded into a virtual traffic corridor realized through microsimulation. Up to 36% fuel savings are measured with the proposed control approach over a human-modelled driver, and it was found connectivity in the automation approach improved fuel economy by up to 26% over automation without. Additionally, the passive energy benefits realizable for human drivers when driving behind downstream CAVs are measured, showing up to 22% fuel savings in a HV when driving behind a small penetration of connectivity-enabled automated vehicles.

Flavored Gauge Mediation with Discrete Non-Abelian Symmetries

Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: We explore the model-building and phenomenology of flavored gauge mediation models of supersymmetry breaking in which the electroweak Higgs doublets and the SU(2) messenger doublets are connected by a discrete non-Abelian symmetry. The embedding of the Higgs and messenger fields into representations of this non-Abelian Higgs-messenger symmetry results in specific relations between the Standard Model Yukawa couplings and the messenger-matter Yukawa interactions. Taking the concrete example of an S(3) Higgs-messenger symmetry, we demonstrate that while the minimal implementation of this scenario suffers from a severe mu/B_mu problem that is well-known from ordinary gauge mediation, expanding the Higgs-messenger field content allows for the possibility that mu and B_mu can be separately tuned, allowing for the possibility of phenomenologically viable models of the soft supersymmetry breaking terms. We construct toy examples of this type that are consistent with the observed 125 GeV Higgs boson mass.

Cosmological evolution of a complex scalar field with repulsive or attractive self-interaction

description: We study the cosmological evolution of a complex scalar field with a self-interaction potential $V(|φ|^2)$, possibly describing self-gravitating Bose-Einstein condensates, using a fully general relativistic treatment. We generalize the hydrodynamic representation of the Klein-Gordon-Einstein equations in the weak field approximation developed in our previous paper. We establish the general equations governing the evolution of a spatially homogeneous complex scalar field in an expanding background. We show how they can be simplified in the fast oscillation regime and derive the equation of state of the scalar field in parametric form for an arbitrary potential. We explicitly consider the case of a quartic potential with repulsive or attractive self-interaction and determine the phase diagram of the scalar field. We show that the transition between the weakly self-interacting regime and the strongly self-interacting regime depends on how the scattering length of the bosons compares with their effective Schwarzschild radius. We also constrain the parameters of the scalar field from astrophysical and cosmological observations. Numerical applications are made for ultralight bosons without self-interaction (fuzzy dark matter), for bosons with repulsive self-interaction, and for bosons with attractive self-interaction (QCD axions and ultralight axions).

description: New constraints are presented on the spin-dependent WIMP-nucleon interaction from the PandaX-II experiment, using a data set corresponding to a total exposure of 3.3$\times10^4$ kg-days. Assuming a standard axial-vector spin-dependent WIMP interaction with $^{129}$Xe and $^{131}$Xe nuclei, the most stringent upper limits on WIMP-neutron cross sections for WIMPs with masses above 10 GeV/c$^{2}$ are set in all dark matter direct detection experiments. The minimum upper limit of $4.1\times 10^{-41}$ cm$^2$ at 90\% confidence level is obtained for a WIMP mass of 40 GeV/c$^{2}$. This represents more than a factor of two improvement on the best available limits at this and higher masses. These improved cross-section limits provide more stringent constraints on the effective WIMP-proton and WIMP-neutron couplings.

description: We study the dynamical generation of entanglement for a two-body interacting system, starting from a separable coherent state. We show analytically that in the quasiclassical regime the entanglement growth rate can be simply computed by means of the underlying classical dynamics. Furthermore, this rate is given by the Kolmogorov-Sinai entropy, which characterizes dynamical complexity of classical motion. Our results, illustrated by numerical simulations on a model of coupled rotators, establish in the quasiclassical regime a link between the generation of entanglement, a purely quantum phenomenon, and classical complexity.

description: Young's classic double-slit experiment demonstrates the reality of interference when waves and particles travel simultaneously along two different spatial paths. Here, we propose a double-slit experiment in momentum space, realized in the free-space elastic scattering of vortex electrons. We show that this process proceeds along two paths in momentum space, which are well localized and well separated from each other. For such vortex beams, the (plane-wave) amplitudes along the two paths acquire adjustable phase shifts and produce interference fringes in the final angular distribution. We argue that this experiment can be realized with the present day technology. We show that it gives experimental access to the Coulomb phase, a quantity which plays an important role in all charged particle scattering but which usual scattering experiments are insensitive to.

description: Here in, we describe the development of vibrational micro-spectroscopy techniques such as infrared spectroscopy and Synchrotron Far IR spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy for the characterization of platinum (IV) and (II) complexes, which are used as anti-cancer drugs. A translational approach utilising the latest development in spectroscopic techniques is developed to understand chemotherapeutic interactions with DNA and cell cultures. The efficacy of using platinum (IV) and (II) based complexes has been examined by spectroscopically monitoring the accumulation of the drug in cells with the application of multivariate analysis. In addition, computational calculations were performed for a range of platinum complexes to understand their vibrational spectra.

It is characterized under which conditions these forms can be computed by structure-preserving unitary transformations. The main results combines and generalizes the two well-known results from the literature that on the one hand any normal matrix can be unitarily diagonalized and on the other hand a Hamiltonian matrix can be transformed to Hamiltonian Schur form via a unitary similarity transformation if and only if its purely imaginary eigenvalues satisfy certain conditions that involve the sign characteristic of the matrix under consideration.

description: We define a new notion of thin position for a graph in a 3-manifold which combines the ideas of thin position for manifolds first originated by Scharlemann and Thompson with the idea of thin position for knots first originated by Gabai. This thin position has the property that connect summing annuli and pairs-of-pants show up as thin levels. In a forthcoming paper, this new thin position allows us to define two new families of invariants of knots, links, and graphs in 3-manifolds. The invariants in one family are similar to bridge number and the invariants in the other family are similar to Gabai's width for knots in the 3-sphere. The invariants in both families detect the unknot and are additive under connected sum and trivalent vertex sum.

description: This talk is an overview of a project which will be based at Leiden University over the coming 36 months. Livestock is a central cultural theme in the pastoral societies of Africa. The languages of pastoralists have incredibly complex expressions to refer to the colours and patterns of the animal coats. These expressions are important for cultural and ritual purposes, but they also reflect the indigenous knowledge of animal categorization and breeding. Loss of biodiversity however is endangering the traditional knowledge linked to livestock. Animal biology studies have demonstrated how cultural preferences and indigenous knowledge have shaped breed selection and preserved cattle biodiversity in African countries. In spite of the rich ethnographic and zoological literature on cattle colour, no empirical studies have been conducted to investigate how this subsistence economy (pastoralism) influences the language and its categorization systems. Fundamentally, the question of how cattle colours are categorized and expressed in languages is yet to be answered. What categories exist in the languages of pastoralists? Do these semantic concepts reflect universal or languagespecific tendencies? What (environment? culture?) governs the similarities (or the differences) attested crosslinguistically in cattle colour systems? The project will document the ethno-taxonomies of three languages of East Africa: Hamar, Oromo and Maasai. A cattle-talk corpus will be compiled, which will include natural linguistic and social interactions, and cattle related genres. An ethnographic approach will be combined with methods of anthropological and cognitive linguistics to better understand colour and pattern categorization. This investigation is relevant to all kind of cattle research. Beyond colour science, the study will bring important insights into the linguistic history of East African pastoralists: cattle representation is prominent in the rock art of the region and coat-colour polymorphism (and cattle appearance) is taken as diagnostic for determining cattle domestication and the spread of pastoralism in Africa. Understanding cattle colour expressions can moreover clarify the relation between pastoral indigenous knowledge and the genetics of cattle colour.

description: Topological superconductors (TSC) become a focus of research due to the accompanying Majorana fermions. However, the experimentally reported TSC are extremely rare. The recent experiments reported the kagome TSC AV$_{3}$Sb$_{5}$ (A=K, Rb, Cs), which exhibit unique superconductivity, topological surface states (TSS), and Majorana bound states. More recently, the first titanium-based kagome superconductor CsTi$ _{3} $Bi$ _{5} $ with nontrivial topology was successfully synthesized as a perspective TSC. Given that Cs contributes little to the electronic structures of CsTi$ _{3} $Bi$ _{5} $ and binary compounds may be easier to be synthesized, here, by density functional theory calculations, we predict five stable non-magnetic kagome compounds Ti$ _{6} $X$ _{4} $ (X = Bi, Sb, Pb, Tl, In) which exhibit superconductivity with critical temperature Tc = 3.8$ - $5.1 K, nontrivial $\mathbb{Z}$$_2$ band topology, and TSS close to the Fermi level. In addition, the large intrinsic spin Hall effect is obtained in Ti$ _{6} $X$ _{4} $, which is caused by gapped Dirac nodes and nodal lines due to a strong spin-orbit coupling. This work offers new platforms for TSC and spintronic devices.

description: Redox Flow Batteries are a promising option for large-scale stationary energy storage. The vanadium redox flow battery is the most widely commercialized system thanks to its chemical stability and performance. This work aims to optimize the scheduling of a vanadium flow battery that stores energy produced by a renewable power plant, keeping into account a thorough characterization of the battery performance, with variable efficiencies and capacity fade effects. A detailed characterization of the battery performance improves the calculation of the optimal number of cycles and revenue associated with the battery use if compared to the results obtained using simpler models, which take into account constant efficiencies and no capacity fade effects. The presented problem is nonlinear due to the functions of the battery efficiency, which depend upon charging and discharging powers and state of charge with nonlinear, non-convex correlations. The problem is linearized using convex hulls. The optimization program also calculates the progressive battery capacity fade due to undesired secondary electrochemical reactions and the economic impact of capacity restoration through periodic maintenance. The final problem is solved as a Mixed-Integer Linear Program (MILP) to guarantee the global optimality of the linearized problem. The proposed optimization model has been applied to two different case studies: a case of energy arbitrage and a case of load-shifting. The optimization results have been compared to those obtained with constant battery efficiency models, which do not consider the capacity fade effects. Results show that simpler models overestimate the optimal number of cycles of the battery and the revenue by up to 15% if they do not take into account the degradation model of the battery, and respectively up to 32% and 42% if they also assume constant efficiency for the battery.

Identification of physiological substrate for a newly identified serine/threonine/tyrosine protein kinase
Creators: name: Ho, Hooi Ling
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Protein phosphorylation is a post-translational modification process in which an amino acid residue in a protein is covalently modified by addition of a phosphate group involving an enzyme known as protein kinase. Many studies demonstrated prominent roles of protein kinases in the regulation of cell differentiation, growth and development. Protein kinases are also implicated in different signal transduction pathways in the abiotic and biotic stresses. By identifying substrates of the protein kinases, wide assessment on how the intact cell regulates cell growth and responses to external stimuli could be disclosed. Thus, the main objective of the study is to identify in vivo physiological substrate for a newly isolated serine/threonine/tyrosine protein kinase from Arabidopsis thaliana (designated as AtSTYK) and thereafter to uncover the role of AtSTYK in plant system. AtSTYK gene was assessed for the protein expression study in yeast system. SDS-PAGE analysis revealed molecular weight of the oligohistidine fusion AtSTYK protein was 49 kDa, indicating the recombinant gene was expressed in eukaryotic system. Thereafter, Western blot confirmed protein expression of AtSTYK in yeast system. The growth profile of recombinant bacteria and yeast was also determined. The study was undertaken to assess growth behavior and stability of recombinant vectors in the hosts. Higher growth rate of wild type was observed compared to recombinant strains during logarithmic phase. Plasmid stability studies revealed AtSTYK gene was able to retain in recombinant hosts after prolonged culturing. PCR screening and nucleotide sequencing analyses proved AtSTYK was present and amplified in many generations without any nucleotide changes. What is the physiological substrate for this AtSTYK to transfer a phosphate group? To address this, protein-protein interaction via yeast two-hybrid system was used to detect positive interactors of AtSTYK. The results showed that OBERON1 (OBE1) with its paralog, OBERON2 (OBE2) genes were detected as the most frequent interacting partners for AtSTYK. Taken together, the research findings suggest that OBE1 and OBE2 genes encode for plant homeodomain (PHD) finger proteins could be phosphorylated by AtSTYK. These results suggest AtSTYK plays a putative role in the maintenance and establishment of apical meristems as well as preservation of stem cells population within the apical meristems region. The maintenance of meristems is achieved through an equilibrium attained between propagation of pluripotent stem cells occurred at the center and organogenesis initiated on the flanks of the meristems.

description: We report on the existence of a new type of cosmic string solutions in the Witten model with U(1)xU(1) symmetry. These solutions are superconducting with radially excited condensates that exist for both gauge and ungauged currents. Our results suggest that these new configurations can be macroscopically stable, but microscopically unstable to radial perturbations. Nevertheless, they might have important consequences for the network evolution and particle emission. We discuss these effects and their possible signatures. We also comment on analogies with non-relativistic condensed matter systems where these solutions may be observable.

description: Two graphs $G$ and $H$ are hypomorphic if there exists a bijection $φ\colon V(G) \rightarrow V(H)$ such that $G - v \cong H - φ(v)$ for each $v \in V(G)$. A graph $G$ is reconstructible if $H \cong G$ for all $H$ hypomorphic to $G$. It is well known that not all infinite graphs are reconstructible. However, the Harary-Schwenk-Scott Conjecture from 1972 suggests that all locally finite trees are reconstructible. In this paper, we construct a counterexample to the Harary-Schwenk-Scott Conjecture. Our example also answers four other questions of Nash-Williams, Halin and Andreae on the reconstruction of infinite graphs.

Active responsive colloids driven by intrinsic dichotomous noise

description: We study the influence of intrinsic noise on the structure and dynamics of responsive colloids (RCs) which actively change their size and mutual interactions. The colloidal size is explicitly resolved in our RC model as an internal degree of freedom (DOF) in addition to the particle translation. A Hertzian pair potential between the RCs leads to repulsion and shrinking of the particles, resulting in an explicit responsiveness of the system to self-crowding. To render the colloids active, their size is internally driven by a dichotomous noise, randomly switching ('breathing') between growing and shrinking states with a predefined rate, as motivated by recent experiments on synthetic active colloids. The polydispersity of this dichotomous active responsive colloid (D-ARC) model can be tuned by the parameters of the noise. Utilizing stochastic computer simulations, we study crowding effects on the spatial distributions, relaxation times, and self-diffusion of dense suspensions of the D-ARCs. We find a substantial influence of the 'built-in' intrinsic noise on the system's behavior, in particular, transitions from unimodal to bimodal size distributions for an increasing colloid density as well as intrinsic noise-modified diffusive translational dynamics. We conclude that controlling the noise of internal DOFs of a macromolecule or cell is a powerful tool for active colloidal materials to enable autonomous changes in the system's collective structure and dynamics towards the adaption of macroscopic properties to external perturbations.

Volatility in the black-scholes and other formulas
Creators: name: Mah, Olivia
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This thesis examines the compatibility between the Black-Scholes formula and stock price models with non-constant implied volatility. Our implied volatility is assumed to be a (possibly random) function of time t. Our main result shows that if the price of a call option is given by the Black-Scholes formula for finitely many strike prices, then the implied volatility is not necessarily a constant but will approach a constant if the number of strike prices increases. Moreover, our results provide us with sets of constraints limiting the acceptable values of the implied volatility parameters. We show that the more maturities we have, the more refined our constraints on the implied volatility would be. Since we do not place any assumptions on the underlying stock price process, the implied volatility process or how they are related, our results are model-free. In addition, we extend our investigation on the compatibility issue by using a more general formula than the Black-Scholes for our implied volatility. Under this more general framework, we obtain the same conclusion, namely, that implied volatility is not necessarily a constant but will approach a constant if the number of strike prices increases. We show this for the cases of three maturities and multiple maturities.
A fractional elliptic problem in $\mathbb{R}^n$ with critical growth and convex nonlinearities

description: In this paper we prove the existence of a positive solution of the nonlinear and nonlocal elliptic equation in $\mathbb{R}^n$ \[ (-Δ)^s u =\varepsilon h u^q+u^{2_s^*-1} \] in the convex case $1\leq q<2_s^*-1$, where $ 2_s^*={2n}/({n-2s}) $ is the critical fractional Sobolev exponent, $(-Δ)^s$ is the fractional Laplace operator, $\varepsilon$ is a small parameter and $h$ is a given bounded, integrable function. The problem has a variational structure and we prove the existence of a solution by using the classical Mountain-Pass Theorem. We work here with the harmonic extension of the fractional Laplacian, which allows us to deal with a weighted (but possibly degenerate) local operator, rather than with a nonlocal energy. In order to overcome the loss of compactness induced by the critical power we use a Concentration-Compactness principle. Moreover, a finer analysis of the geometry of the energy functional is needed in this convex case.

description: More or less simultaneous with Greenberg’s seminal work on SVO, SOV and VSO typology, Bernd Heine published his typology of African languages suggesting four types, adding his type B, S Aux O V (Other). In this group B we find Mande languages but also Kru. The Cushitic languages of the Tanzanian Rift are under his SOV type. The “Aux” of Mande and Kru languages is very similar to the selector in Tanzanian Rift Cushitic and yet indeed the syntax is different in important ways. I present these commonalities and differences. And then I proceed with a comparison of selectors and similar clitic complexes in the rest of (East) Cushitic.

Flares in the changing look AGN Mrk 590. I: The UV response to X-ray outbursts suggests a more complex reprocessing geometry than a standard disk

description: Mrk 590 is a known changing-look AGN which almost turned off in 2012, and then in 2017 partially re-ignited into a repeat flaring state, unusual for an AGN. Our \emph{Swift} observations since 2013 allow us to characterise the accretion-generated emission and its reprocessing in the central engine of a changing-look AGN. The X-ray and UV variability amplitudes are higher than those typically observed in `steady-state' AGN at similar moderate accretion rates; instead, the variability is similar to that of highly accreting AGN. The unusually strong X-ray to UV correlation suggests that the UV-emitting region is directly illuminated by X-ray outbursts. We find evidence that the X-rays are reprocessed by two UV components, with the dominant one at $\sim$3 days and a faint additional reprocessor at near-zero lag. However, we exclude a significant contribution from diffuse broad line region continuum, known to contribute for bona-fide AGN. A near-zero lag is expected for a standard `lamp-post' disk reprocessing model with a driving continuum source near the black hole. That the overall UV response is dominated by the $\sim$3-day lagged component suggests a complicated reprocessing geometry, with most of the UV continuum not produced in a compact disk, as also found in recent studies of NGC 5548 and NGC 4151. Nonetheless, the observed flares display characteristic timescales of $\sim$100 rest-frame days, consistent with the expected thermal timescale in an accretion disk.

Publisher: name: Universitätsbibliothek Dortmund
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: 020

description: GRACE (Grid Search and Categorization Engine) zielt mit seinem Ansatz einer verteilten Suche auf einen wissenschaftlichen Nutzerkreis. Hierbei sollen nicht nur die bekannten Informationsressourcen des WWW (Websites, Datenbanken, Kataloge etc.) für die Suche zur Verfügung stehen, sondern auch Grid-basierte Datenquellen. Die Ergebnisse der Suche in den erwartungsgemäß stark heterogenen Quellen werden weder in einer einheitlichen Ergebnisliste noch in einer nach Quellen unterschiedenen Ergebnisanzeige dargestellt, sondern nach inhaltlichen Kriterien in Gruppen zusammengefasst (kategorisiert bzw. geclustert). Dublette Ergebnisse sollen hierbei nach Möglichkeit nur innerhalb einer Kategorie eliminiert werden. Die Bezeichnungen der Kategorien werden dabei ad hoc mit Hilfe linguistischer Methoden aus den jeweiligen Ergebnissen generiert. Im Vortrag wird vor allem auf die Aspekte Grid-Computing und Kategoriebildung eingegangen. GRACE wird im Rahmen eines Projektes der Europäischen Union entwickelt. Das Projekt begann im September 2002 und ist mit einer Laufzeit von 30 Monaten ausgestattet (http://www.grace-ist.org/).
