description: A long operational lifetime is required for the use of solar cells in real-life photovoltaic applications. The optimization of operational lifetimes is achieved through understanding the inherent degradation phenomena in solar cells. In this study, graphene/Si Schottky-junction solar cells were produced, utilizing liquid-phase-exfoliated graphene as an active surface. The operational and interface stability of these solar cells over a period of 5 years in ambient conditions (following ISOS-D protocols: dark storage/shelf life) was examined, and the origin of their degradation was reported. It was found that the dominant degradation mechanism could be attributed to the degradation of silver contacts. This was indicated by a decrease in shunt resistance, an increase in the ideality factor (due to a higher carrier recombination), and a constant defect density in graphene films for up to 4 years. Measurements across the solar cell's active area during the 5-year period revealed neither significant spatial inhomogeneity, nor shunt channel defects.

description: We examine whether the magnetorotational instability (MRI) can serve as a mechanism of angular momentum transport in circumplanetary disks. For the MRI to operate the ionization degree must be sufficiently high and the magnetic pressure must be sufficiently lower than the gas pressure. We calculate the spatial distribution of the ionization degree and search for the MRI-active region where the two criteria are met. We find that there can be thin active layers at the disk surface depending on the model parameters, however, we find hardly any region which can sustain well-developed MRI turbulence; when the magnetic field is enhanced by MRI turbulence at the disk surface layer, a magnetically dominated atmosphere encroaches on a lower altitude and a region of well-developed MRI turbulence becomes smaller. We conclude that if there are no angular momentum transfer mechanisms other than MRI in gravitationally stable circumplanetary disks, gas is likely to pile up until disks become gravitationally unstable, and massive disks may survive for a long time.

description: Active galactic nuclei (AGN) feedback models are generally calibrated to reproduce galaxy observables such as the stellar mass function and the bimodality in galaxy colors. We use variations of the AGN feedback implementations in the IllustrisTNG (TNG) and Simba cosmological hydrodynamic simulations to show that the low redshift Lyman-$α$ forest can provide constraints on the impact of AGN feedback. We show that TNG over-predicts the number density of absorbers at column densities $N_{\rm HI} < 10^{14}$ cm$^{-2}$ compared to data from the Cosmic Origins Spectrograph (in agreement with previous work), and we demonstrate explicitly that its kinetic feedback mode, which is primarily responsible for galaxy quenching, has a negligible impact on the column density distribution (CDD) of absorbers. In contrast, we show that the fiducial Simba model which includes AGN jet feedback is the preferred fit to the observed CDD of the $z = 0.1$ Lyman-$α$ forest across five orders of magnitude in column density. We show that the Simba results with jets produce a quantitatively better fit to the observational data than the Simba results without jets, even when the UVB is left as a free parameter. AGN jets in Simba are high speed, collimated, weakly-interacting with the interstellar medium (via brief hydrodynamic decoupling) and heated to the halo virial temperature. Collectively these properties result in stronger long-range impacts on the IGM when compared to TNG's kinetic feedback mode, which drives isotropic winds with lower velocities at the galactic radius. Our results suggest that the low redshift Lyman-$α$ forest provides plausible evidence for long-range AGN jet feedback.

description: We construct a supergravity model whose scalar degrees of freedom arise from a chiral superfield and are solely a scalaron and an axion that is very heavy during the inflationary phase. The model includes a second chiral superfield $X$, which is subject however to the constraint $X^2=0$ so that it describes only a Volkov - Akulov goldstino and an auxiliary field. We also construct the dual higher - derivative model, which rests on a chiral scalar curvature superfield ${\cal R}$ subject to the constraint ${\cal R}^2=0$, where the goldstino dual arises from the gauge - invariant gravitino field strength as $γ^{mn} {\cal D}_m ψ_n$. The final bosonic action is an $R+R^2$ theory involving an axial vector $A_m$ that only propagates a physical pseudoscalar mode.

Effective lattice Polyakov loop theory vs. full SU(3) Yang-Mills at finite temperature

description: A three-dimensional effective theory of Polyakov loops has recently been derived from Wilson's Yang-Mills lattice action by means of a strong coupling expansion. It is valid in the confined phase up to the deconfinement phase transition, for which it predicts the correct order and gives quantitative estimates for the critical coupling. In this work we study its predictive power for further observables like correlation functions and the equation of state. We find that the effective theory correctly reproduces qualitative features and symmetries of the full theory as the continuum is approached. Regarding quantitative predictions, we identify two classes of observables by numerical comparison as well as analytic calculations: correlation functions and their associated mass scales cannot be described accurately from a truncated effective theory, due to its inherently non-local nature involving long-range couplings. On the other hand, phase transitions and bulk thermodynamic quantities are accurately reproduced by the leading local part of the effective theory. In particular, the effective theory description is numerically superior when computing the equation of state at low temperatures or the properties of the phase transition.

description: We present Hamilton's equations for the teleparallel equivalent of general relativity (TEGR), which is a reformulation of general relativity based on a curvatureless, metric compatible, and torsionful connection. For this, we consider the Hamiltonian for TEGR obtained through the vector, antisymmetric, symmetric and trace-free, and trace irreducible decomposition of the phase space variables. We present the Hamiltonian for TEGR in the covariant formalism for the first time in the literature, by considering a spin connection depending on Lorentz matrices. We introduce the mathematical formalism necessary to compute Hamilton's equations in both Weitzenbock gauge and covariant formulation, where for the latter we must introduce new fields: Lorentz matrices and their associated momenta. We also derive explicit relations between the conjugate momenta of the tetrad and the conjugate momenta for the metric that are traditionally defined in GR, which are important to compare both formalisms.

description: We present a quantum algorithm for implementing $ϕ^4$ lattice scalar field theory on qubit computers. The field is represented in the discretized field amplitude basis. The number of qubits and elementary gates required by the implementation of the evolution operator is proportional to the lattice size. The algorithm allows efficient $ϕ^4$ state preparation for a large range of input parameters in both the normal and broken-symmetry phases. The states are prepared using a combination of variational and adiabatic evolution methods. First, the ground state of a local Hamiltonian, which includes the $ϕ^4$ self-interaction, is prepared using short variational circuits. Next, this state is evolved by switching on the coupling between the lattice sites adiabatically. The parameters defining the local Hamiltonian are adjustable and constitute the input of our algorithm. We present a method to optimize these parameters in order to reduce the adiabatic time required for state preparation. For preparing broken-symmetry states, the adiabatic evolution problems caused by crossing the phase transition critical line and by the degeneracy of the broken-symmetry ground state can be addressed using an auxiliary external field which gradually turns off during the adiabatic process. We show that the time dependence of the external field during the adiabatic evolution is important for addressing the broken-symmetry ground state degeneracy. The adiabatic time dependence on the inverse error tolerance can be reduced from quadratic to linear by using a field strength that decreases exponentially in time relative to one that decreases linearly.

description: This collection of presentations is from the mini-symposium entitled "Systems Science and Health: Using Analytical Approaches to Evaluate Healthcare Policy Decisions." The focus of this symposium is on systems science applications to health research. Systems science is a collection of analytical computer simulation techniques which are used to evaluate optimize and improve healthcare delivery processes. These techniques account for the complexity of the healthcare system and healthcare processes by modeling nonlinear relationships between variables, the feedback effects, delays and soft variables. The analysis stresses heterogeneity of agents, resistance to change, potential unintended consequences, and behavioral emergence in complex systems. Such models use historical data to simulate the operations of healthcare systems providing an approximation of future outcomes. The presenters will discuss several different types of simulations methods, highlight recent advances, and describe funding opportunities from the National Institutes of Health. Examples from chronic disease patient chains, physician incentive redesign, clinic staffing and Emergency Department redesign will be discussed.

description: Reinforcement learning is applied to solve actual complex tasks from high-dimensional, sensory inputs. The last decade has developed a long list of reinforcement learning algorithms. Recent progress benefits from deep learning for raw sensory signal representation. One question naturally arises: how well do they perform concerning different robotic manipulation tasks? Benchmarks use objective performance metrics to offer a scientific way to compare algorithms. In this paper, we present RMBench, the first benchmark for robotic manipulations, which have high-dimensional continuous action and state spaces. We implement and evaluate reinforcement learning algorithms that directly use observed pixels as inputs. We report their average performance and learning curves to show their performance and stability of training. Our study concludes that none of the studied algorithms can handle all tasks well, soft Actor-Critic outperforms most algorithms in average reward and stability, and an algorithm combined with data augmentation may facilitate learning policies. Our code is publicly available at https://github.com/xiangyanfei212/RMBench-2022, including all benchmark tasks and studied algorithms.

description: Large-scale continuous variable (CV) cluster state is necessary in quantum information processing based on measurement-based quantum computing (MBQC). Specially, generating large-scale CV cluster state multiplexed in time domain is easier to implement and has strong scalability in experiment. Here one-dimensional (1D) large-scale dual-rail CV cluster states multiplexed both in time and frequency domains are parallelly generated, which can be further extended to three-dimensional (3D) CV cluster state by combining two time-delay NOPA systems with beamsplitters. It is shown that the number of parallel arrays depends on the corresponding frequency comb lines and the partite number of each array can be very large (million), and scale of the 3D cluster state can be ultra-large. This scheme provides some special-structured CV cluster states, which will be valuable for quantum computing of hybrid domains.

description: We present a high-precision mass model of the galaxy cluster MACSJ0416.1-2403, based on a strong-gravitational-lensing analysis of the recently acquired Hubble Space Telescope Frontier Fields (HFF) imaging data. Taking advantage of the unprecedented depth provided by HST/ACS observations in three passbands, we identify 51 new multiply imaged galaxies, quadrupling the previous census and bringing the grand total to 68, comprising 194 individual lensed images. Having selected a subset of the 57 most securely identified multiply imaged galaxies, we use the Lenstool software package to constrain a lens model comprised of two cluster-scale dark-matter halos and 98 galaxy-scale halos. Our best-fit model predicts image positions with an $RMS$ error of 0.68'', which constitutes an improvement of almost a factor of two over previous, pre-HFF models of this cluster. We find the total projected mass inside a 200~kpc aperture to be $(1.60\pm0.01)\times 10^{14}\ M_\odot$, a measurement that offers a three-fold improvement in precision, reaching the percent level for the first time in any cluster. Finally, we quantify the increase in precision of the derived gravitational magnification of high-redshift galaxies and find an improvement by a factor of $\sim$2.5 in the statistical uncertainty. Our findings impressively confirm that HFF imaging has indeed opened the domain of high-precision mass measurements for massive clusters of galaxies.

description: In this paper, we analyze the Hawking radiation (HR) of a non-asymptotically flat (NAF) dyonic black hole (dBH) in four-dimensional (4D) Einstein-Maxwell-Dilaton (EMD) gravity by using one of the semiclassical approaches which is the so-called Hamilton-Jacobi (HJ) method. We particularly motivate on the isotropic coordinate system (ICS) of the dBH in order to highlight the ambiguity to be appeared in the derivation of the Hawking temperature (T_{H}) via the HJ method. Besides, it will be shown that the ICS allows us to write the metric of the dBH in form of the Fermat metric, which renders possible of identification of the refractive index (n) of the dBH. It is unraveled that the value of n and therefore the gravitational lensing effect is decisive on the the tunneling rate of the HR. We also uncloak how one can resolve the discrepancy about the T_{H} of the dBH in spite of that lensing effect.

description: Abstract:
Construction and testing of a double-beam absorption spectrographic analysis system using a d. c. arc multielement source has been conducted. An optical system design which brings analytical and reference beams together to illuminate the upper and lower portions of the spectrograph slit has been shown to be functional. However, ad. c. arc will not serve as a multielement source for the intended purposes because of excessive thermal broadening of emission lines.
A direct excitation d. c. arc method was reviewed which can be used for the rapid determination of some cations in water.

description: The magnetic dipole-dipole interaction does not prevent existence of half-quantum vortices in the polar phase of superfluid He-3 which can be stable in uniaxial anisotropic aerogel. Here we discus this exotic possibility. After developing a phenomenological theory of phase transition from the normal to polar superfluid state and then to axipolar superfluid state we calculate the NMR properties of such type superfluids at the rest or under rotation filled by an array either single quantum or half quantum vortices.

description: We propose an application of quantum temporal imaging to restoring the indistinguishability of the signal and the idler photons produced in type-II spontaneous parametric down-conversion with a pulsed broadband pump. It is known that in this case, the signal and the idler photons have different spectral and temporal properties. This effect deteriorates their indistinguishability and the visibility of the Hong-Ou-Mandel interference, respectively. We demonstrate that inserting a time lens in one arm of the interferometer and choosing properly its magnification factor restores perfect indistinguishability of the signal and the idler photons and provides 100\% visibility of the Hong-Ou-Mandel interference in the limit of high focal group delay dispersion of the time lens.

description: We present an experimental technique to generate and measure a temperature bias in the quantum Hall effect of GaAs/AlGaAs Corbino samples. The bias is generated by injecting an electrical current at a central resistive heater and the resulting radial temperature drop is determined by conductance measurements at internal and external concentric rings. The experimental results agree with the predictions of numerical simulations of the heat flow through the substrate. We also compare these results with previous predictions based on the thermoelectric response of these devices

description: We perform accurate calculations of the energy-, momentum-, and charge-emission rates of a charged scalar field in the background of the Kerr-Newman black hole at the range of parameters for which the effect is not negligibly small and, at the same time, the semiclassical regime is, at least marginally, valid. For black holes with charge below or not much higher than the charge accretion limit $Q \sim μM/e$ (where $e$ and $μ$ are the electron's mass and charge), the time between the consequent emitting of two charged particles is very large. For primordial black holes the transition between the increasing and decreasing of the ratio $Q/M$ occurs around the charge accretion limit. The rotation increases the intensity of radiation up to three orders, while the effect of the field's mass strongly suppresses the radiation.

Magnetic instability in AdS/CFT : Schwinger effect and Euler-Heisenberg Lagrangian of Supersymmetric QCD

description: To reveal the Schwinger effect for quarks, i.e., pair creation process of quarks and antiquarks, we derive the vacuum decay rate at strong coupling using AdS/CFT correspondence. Magnetic fields, in addition to the electric field responsible for the pair creation, causes prominent effects on the rate, and is important also in experiments such as RHIC/LHC heavy ion collisions. In this paper, through the gravity dual we obtain the full Euler-Heisenberg Lagrangian of N=2 supersymmetric QCD and study the Schwinger mechanism with not only a constant electric field but also a constant magnetic field as external fields. We determine the quark mass and temperature dependence of the Lagrangian. In sharp contrast with the zero magnetic field case, we find that the imaginary part, and thus the vacuum decay rate, diverges in the massless zero-temperature limit. This may be related to a strong instability of the QCD vacuum in strong magnetic fields. The real part of the Lagrangian serves as a generating function for non-linear electro-magnetic responses, and is found such that the Cotton-Mouton effect vanishes. Interestingly, our results of the Schwinger / Cotton-Mouton effects coincide precisely with those of N=2 supersymmetric QED.

Logarithmic correction to black hole entropy in universal low-energy string theory models

description: We calculate the logarithmic correction to the entropy of asymptotically flat and AdS black holes (rotating, non-rotating, charged, and uncharged) embedded in Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton (EMD) theories with $U(1)$-charged. The leading quantum gravitational corrections are achieved in both extremal and non-extremal limits of black hole temperature by designing a common Euclidean gravity setup that evaluates the "logarithmic term" from one-loop effective actions via heat kernel method-based calculations. EMD theories are universal building blocks of compactified string theory or supergravity models in 4D. For a concrete example, we generalize the entire setup and calculate logarithmic corrections for black holes in $U(1)^2$-charged EMD models intersecting with $\mathcal{N}=4$ ungauged and gauged bosonic supergravity. In contrast to flat backgrounds, all the AdS$_4$ results are found to be non-topological, providing a wider "infrared window" into the microscopic degrees of freedom of black holes in string theory.

description: We mapped five massive star forming regions with the SCUBA-2 camera on the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (JCMT). Temperature and column density maps are obtained from the SCUBA-2 450 and 850 $μ$m images. Most of the dense clumps we find have central temperatures below 20 K with some as cold as 8 K, suggesting that they have no internal heating due to the presence of embedded protostars. This is surprising, because at the high densities inferred from these images and at these low temperatures such clumps should be unstable, collapsing to form stars and generating internal heating. The column densities at the clump centres exceed 10$^{23}$ cm$^{-2}$, and the derived peak visual extinction values are from 25-500 mag for $β$ = 1.5-2.5, indicating highly opaque centres. The observed cloud gas masses range from $\sim$ 10 to 10$^{3}$ M$_{\odot}$. The outer regions of the clumps follow an $r^{-2.36\pm0.35}$ density distribution and this power-law structure is observed outside of typically 10$^{4}$ AU. All these findings suggest that these clumps are high-mass starless clumps and most likely contain high-mass starless cores.

title: Prospective Relations between Red Blood Cell ω-6 and ω-3 Fatty Acid Composition and Cognitive Function among Older Puerto Rican Adults

description: Objectives: To examine the association between red blood cell (RBC) ω-6 and ω-3 fatty acid (FA) composition and cognitive function over 2-y follow-up among older U.S. mainland Puerto Ricans.

Methods: Data are from the Boston Puerto Rican Health Study (74% female; 57±8 y). RBC membrane FA status was ascertained at baseline. Individual FA were expressed as a percentage of total FA identified. Cognitive function was measured at baseline and at 2-y using the Mini-Mental State Exam (MMSE), where a higher score ranging from 0-30 indicates better function. Cognitive impairment was defined as MMSE scores ≤21, ≤23, and ≤24 for those with less than a 9th grade education, a 9th to 12th grade education, and some college education or higher, respectively. Relations between FA and MMSE scores were examined in 946 participants and incidence of cognitive impairment among those considered to be cognitively normal at baseline (n=639).

Results: In multivariate models additionally adjusted for baseline MMSE, total ω-6 FA (quartiles) were associated with lower MMSE score at 2-y (P-trend=0.003). Total ω-3 FA were positively (P-trend=0.04) and the ω-6:ω-3 ratio inversely (P-trend=0.007) related to 2-y MMSE, but these relationships attenuated with adjustment for baseline score. The incidence of cognitive impairment at follow-up was 22%. In multivariate models, a 1% increase in total ω-6 FA related to a 9% greater incidence of cognitive impairment [RR=1.09 (95% CI: 1.00, 1.18), P=0.04]. Total ω-3 FA were inversely related to incident cognitive impairment [RR=0.92 (0.81 to 1.05), P=0.21], whereas the ω-6:ω-3 ratio was positively associated [RR=1.12 (95% CI: 0.98, 1.26), P=0.08].

Conclusions: An objective biomarker of ω-6 FA consumption was associated with poorer cognitive function and incidence of cognitive impairment over 2-y follow-up, suggesting that greater intakes of food sources of ω-6 FA may play a role in cognitive decline among older U.S. mainland Puerto Ricans.
