description: We report on studies of degradation mechanisms of tetraphenyl butadiene (TPB) coatings of the type used in neutrino and dark matter liquid argon experiments. Using gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry we have detected the ultraviolet-blocking impurity benzophenone (BP). We monitored the drop in performance and increase of benzophenone concentration in TPB plates with exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light, and demonstrate the correlation between these two variables. Based on the presence and initially exponential increase in the concentration of benzophenone observed, we propose that TPB degradation is a free radical-mediated photooxidation reaction, which is subsequently confirmed by displaying delayed degradation using a free radical inhibitor. Finally we show that the performance of wavelength-shifting coatings of the type envisioned for the LBNE experiment can be improved by 10-20%, with significantly delayed UV degradation, by using a 20% admixture of 4-tert-Butylcatechol.

description: We study heavy quark energy loss and thermalization in hot and dense nuclear medium. The diffusion of heavy quarks is calculated via a Langevin equation, both for a static medium as well as for a quark-gluon plasma (QGP) medium generated by a (3+1)-dimensional hydrodynamic model. We investigate how the initial configuration of the QGP and its properties affect the final state spectra and elliptic flow of heavy flavor mesons and non-photonic electrons. It is observed that both the geometric anisotropy of the initial profile and the flow profile of the hydrodynamic medium play important roles in the heavy quark energy loss process and the development of elliptic flow. Within our definition of the thermalization criterion and for reasonable values of the diffusion constant, we observe thermalization times that are longer than the lifetime of the QGP phase.

description: This presentation was given during the 2022 AGU Fall Meeting in Chicago, IL. Abstract: Modern water supply networks are complex 'systems of systems' in which hydrologic, engineered, and institutional systems interact across a range of spatiotemporal scales. Advances in watershed process representation, data assimilation, and distributed computing have improved hydrologic modeling in recent years, but it remains a challenge to account for human factors such as water demand, reservoir operations, regulatory institutions, infrastructure investment, and risk management. Human systems emerge through dynamic, adaptive, and distributed decision-making processes subject to conflicting management objectives and high levels of uncertainty. Water management activities often bridge spatiotemporal scales; e.g., assessing the value of groundwater recharge facilities requires modeling the fast dynamics (daily timestep or less) of high-flow events and infrastructure capacity constraints as well as the slow dynamics (multidecadal) of persistent extreme droughts, water supply/demand trends, and water users’ financial health. Water management networks are increasingly interconnected, so that decisions by individual water suppliers, users, or governing bodies can have complex effects that propagate through the network. Better representation of these factors provides a major opportunity to improve the relevance of models and results for decision-makers, but also a significant conceptual and computational challenge. This presentation will highlight efforts to address these challenges by combining detailed hydrologic-engineered-institutional system simulation models with ensemble-based exploratory modeling workflows that facilitate the discovery of high-performing and robust management policies, multi-objective tradeoffs, and consequential uncertainties. The presentation will draw first from recent research on water supply portfolios and infrastructure planning in the Central Valley of California, using the open-source California Food-Energy-Water System (CALFEWS) simulation model. We will then demonstrate how these lessons are being applied to an ongoing translational research collaboration with the USGS to understand how hydrologic and human uncertainties could impact future water availability and drought vulnerability in the Delaware River Basin.

description: New data on proton and pion production in p+C interactions from the CERN PS and SPS accelerators are used in conjunction with other available data sets to perform a comprehensive survey of backward hadronic cross sections. This survey covers the complete backward hemisphere in the range of lab angles from 10 to 180 degrees, from 0.2 to 1.4 GeV/c in lab momentum and from 1 to 400 GeV/c in projectile momentum. Using the constraints of continuity and smoothness of the angular, momentum and energy dependences a consistent description of the inclusive cross sections is established which allows the control of the internal consistency of the nineteen available data sets.

description: We review and explain an infinite-dimensional counterpart of the Hurwitz theory realization of algebraic open-closed string model a la Moore and Lizaroiu, where the closed and open sectors are represented by conjugation classes of permutations and the pairs of permutations, i.e. by the algebra of Young diagrams and bipartite graphes respectively. An intriguing feature of this Hurwitz string model is coexistence of two different multiplications, reflecting the deep interrelation between the theory of symmetric and linear groups S_\infty and GL(\infty).

description: We present de Haas-van Alphen and resistivity data on single crystals of the delafossite PdCoO2. At 295 K we measure an in-plane resistivity of 2.6 μΩ-cm, making PdCoO2 the most conductive oxide known. The low-temperature in-plane resistivity has an activated rather than the usual T^5 temperature dependence, suggesting a gapping of effective scattering that is consistent with phonon drag. Below 10 K, the transport mean free path is 20 \mum, approximately 10^5 lattice spacings and an astoundingly high value for flux-grown crystals. We discuss the origin of these properties in light of our data.

description: We investigate the charge transport properties of planar amorphous graphene that is fully topologically disordered, in the form of sp2 three-fold coordinated networks consisting of hexagonal rings, but also including many pentagons and heptagons distributed in a random fashion. Using the Kubo transport methodology and the Lanczos method, the density of states, mean free paths and semiclassical conductivities of such amorphous graphene membranes are computed. Despite a large increase in the density of states close to the charge neutrality point, all electronic properties are dramatically degraded, evidencing an Anderson insulating state caused by topological disorder alone. These results are supported by Landauer-Buttiker conductance calculations, which show a localization length as short as 5 nanometers

description: Quantum computation that combines the coherence stabilization virtues of decoherence-free subspaces and the fault tolerance of geometric holonomic control is of great practical importance. Some schemes of adiabatic holonomic quantum computation in decoherence-free subspaces have been proposed in the past few years. However, non-adiabatic holonomic quantum computation in decoherence-free subspaces, which avoids long run-time requirement but with all the robust advantages, remains an open problem. Here, we demonstrate how to realize non-adiabatic holonomic quantum computation in decoherence-free subspaces. By using only three neighboring physical qubits undergoing collective dephasing to encode one logical qubit, we realize a universal set of quantum gates.

description: The concept of Form-Based Code is of central importance in American New Urbanism. There is an increasing concern on Form-Based Code’s components and adoptions in cities and countries in the USA. This paper aims to extend Form-Based Code’s study to high-density cities of Asia. It explores the methodology of embedding parametric thinking into the multi-scenario evaluation of Form-Based Code. The methodology framework is developed by taking advantage of parametric modelling instruments which visualizes the coding procedure on software interfaces. Using Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong as the experimental site, the paper concludes with a parametric evaluation system towards a walkable and accessible environment in the volumetric urban morphology of high-density cities.

description: The concurrent foundation failure of telecommunication masts in Nigeria and all over the world which endanger the lives and properties of residents situated within the fall distance of the telecommunication mast are a thing of great concern. In this study, a GSM mast that underwent foundation failure at Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria was critically examined with a view to providing engineering solution. The soil investigation at the global system for mobile communications (GSM) telecommunication tower comprised of laboratory tests: sieve analysis, Atterberg limits and moisture content tests were carried out on the soil samples obtained while Dutch cone penetrometer test was performed on the site to a depth of refusal to determine the allowable bearing pressure at various depths of the soil. The application of Boussineq's and Westergard's formulae for point loads using Java programme to simulate and compute the stress distribution at various predetermined depths showed the stress distribution pattern beneath the failed foundation of the structure. The stress distribution pattern revealed that the soil strength was lower than the imposed loadings from the structure thereby resulting in differential settlements and cracks at the foundation. A variety of engineering solutions were recommended to improve the soil strength and thus prevent such occurrences in future.

description: Background: Exercise is crucial to maintaining one's well being and has been shown to help manage the symptoms of ADHD. Sports participation in particular could be an appealing form of physical activity for youth, as sports can make exercise more enjoyable. Given the importance of exercise on the lives of youth, we seek to examine the effect of ADHD on youth engagement in physical activity and sports.
Methods and Analysis: We propose a retrospective observational study comparing 647 youth with ADHD with 647 youth without ADHD. The primary outcome is frequency of physical activity. We utilize matching followed by regression-based covariance adjustment to control for potential confounders. We will also analyze the secondary outcome of youth sports participation, and plan to conduct subgroup analyses, stratified by sex and by age group, for both outcomes of interest.

description: Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has negative impacts on general health of the population, social isolation can contribute to the emergence of various dysfunctions. Objective: To investigate the association musculoskeletal pain, sleep quality and migraine with the level of physical activity during the COVID-19 pandemic in college students. Method: Data were collected through a sociodemographic questionnaire containing questions regarding sample characterization, the Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire (NMQ), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Migraine Disability Assessment (MIDAS) and the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ). Results: In the correlation made between the data at the beginning of the pandemic, there was a direct relationship between PSQI and the number of days with pain (p < 0.001), the Initial MIDAS score (p < 0.001) and the initial pain intensity (p < 0.001). There was a direct relationship between PSQI scores and age (p ¼ 0.044), MIDAS (p < 0.001) and pain intensity (p < 0.001). We identified a direct relationship between MIDAS and the number of days with pain (p < 0.001) and pain intensity (p < 0.001). Conclusion: Social isolation, during the COVID-19 pandemic, probably potentiated painful symptoms in various parts of the body, worsening sleep quality and migraine. In addition, there is a strong evidence that the decrease in physical activity during the pandemic is associated with sleep quality, with the number of days with musculoskeletal pain and migraine.

description: We calculate spin transport in two-dimensional waveguides in the presence of spatially modulated Zeeman-split energy bands. We show that in a regime where the spin evolution is predominantly adiabatic the spin backscattering rate can be tuned via diabatic Landau-Zener transitions between the spin-split bands [C. Betthausen et. al., Science 337, 324 (2012)]. This mechanism is tolerant against spin-independent scattering processes. Completely spin-polarized systems show full spin backscattering, and thus current switching. In partially spin-polarized systems a spatial sequence of Landau-Zener transition points enhances the resistance modulation via reoccupation of backscattered spin-polarized transport modes. We discuss a possible application as a spin transistor.

Employing the Taylor expansion method we proposed earlier, we estimate the radius of convergence of the series for the baryonic susceptibility by using terms up to eighth order. Together with our earlier results, corresponding to the same physical parameters but on coarser lattices at respectively 1.33 times and twice the lattice cut-off (a), we were able to attempt a march towards the continuum limit.

We modify the current Langevin algorithm such that apart from quasi-elastic scattering, medium-induced radiative energy loss is incorporated as well by treating gluon radiation as an extra force term. We find a significant effect of gluon radiation on heavy quark energy loss at LHC energies. Our calculation provides a good description of the D meson suppression measured by ALICE experiment, and makes a prediction for B meson suppression and flow.

description: Based on dynamical cavity method, we propose an approach to the inference of kinetic Ising model, which asks to reconstruct couplings and external fields from given time-dependent output of original system. Our approach gives an exact result on tree graphs and a good approximation on sparse graphs, it can be seen as an extension of Belief Propagation inference of static Ising model to kinetic Ising model. While existing mean field methods to the kinetic Ising inference e.g., na\" ive mean-field, TAP equation and simply mean-field, use approximations which calculate magnetizations and correlations at time $t$ from statistics of data at time $t-1$, dynamical cavity method can use statistics of data at times earlier than $t-1$ to capture more correlations at different time steps. Extensive numerical experiments show that our inference method is superior to existing mean-field approaches on diluted networks.

description: We present Swarm-NG, a C++ library for the efficient direct integration of many n-body systems using highly-parallel Graphics Processing Unit (GPU), such as NVIDIA's Tesla T10 and M2070 GPUs. While previous studies have demonstrated the benefit of GPUs for n-body simulations with thousands to millions of bodies, Swarm-NG focuses on many few-body systems, e.g., thousands of systems with 3...15 bodies each, as is typical for the study of planetary systems. Swarm-NG parallelizes the simulation, including both the numerical integration of the equations of motion and the evaluation of forces using NVIDIA's "Compute Unified Device Architecture" (CUDA) on the GPU. Swarm-NG includes optimized implementations of 4th order time-symmetrized Hermite integration and mixed variable symplectic integration, as well as several sample codes for other algorithms to illustrate how non-CUDA-savvy users may themselves introduce customized integrators into the Swarm-NG framework. To optimize performance, we analyze the effect of GPU-specific parameters on performance under double precision. Applications of Swarm-NG include studying the late stages of planet formation, testing the stability of planetary systems and evaluating the goodness-of-fit between many planetary system models and observations of extrasolar planet host stars (e.g., radial velocity, astrometry, transit timing). While Swarm-NG focuses on the parallel integration of many planetary systems,the underlying integrators could be applied to a wide variety of problems that require repeatedly integrating a set of ordinary differential equations many times using different initial conditions and/or parameter values.

description: Participants were recruited from the National Health Service England (NHSE) funded Healthier You: National Diabetes Prevention Programme (NDPP). Forty participants took part in the study. Potential participants were approached, by phone call once they were referred and registered on the NHSE NDPP. These programme participants were recruited through healthcare professional referrals (nurses and GPs) and self-referrals. Participants were eligible if aged 18 years and over; had an HbA1c referral reading of between 42-47mmol/mol within the last 12 months; and were registered on the NHSE NDPP. Exclusion criteria included participants with a severe debilitating disease which may have interfered with the study participation, under the age of 18 years, over the age of 65 years and/or pregnant. Participants received a pre-program information pack in conjunction with a SQ (sleep quality) and SD (sleep duration) questionnaire at the end of their 1:1 initial appointments for the NHSE NDPP. Participants were given prepaid envelopes to send their anonymised questionnaires back to the researcher once completed after their 1:1 appointment.

description: It is generally believed that the low energy effective theory of the minimal supersymmetric standard model is the type 2 two Higgs doublet model. We will show that the type 1 two Higgs doublet model can also as the effective of supersymmetry in a specific case with high scale supersymmetry breaking and gauge mediation. If the other electroweak doublet obtain the vacuum expectation value after the electroweak symmetry breaking, the Higgs spectrum is quite different. A remarkable feature is that the physical Higgs boson mass can 125 GeV unlike in the ordinary models with high scale supersymmetry in which the Higgs mass is generally around 140 GeV.

description: The mechanisms responsible for contention of activity in systems represented by networks are crucial in various phenomena, as in diseases such as epilepsy that affects the neuronal networks, and for information dissemination in social networks. The first models to account for contained activity included triggering and inhibition processes, but they cannot be applied to social networks where inhibition is clearly absent. A recent model showed that contained activity can be achieved with no need of inhibition processes provided that the network is subdivided in modules (communities). In this paper, we introduce a new concept inspired in the Hebbian theory through which activity contention is reached by incorporating a dynamics based on a decaying activity in a random walk mechanism preferential to the node activity. Upon selecting the decay coefficient within a proper range, we observed sustained activity in all the networks tested, viz. random, Barabasi-Albert and geographical networks. The generality of this finding was confirmed by showing that modularity is no longer needed if the dynamics based on the integrate-and-fire dynamics incorporated the decay factor. Taken together, these results provide a proof of principle that persistent, restrained network activation might occur in the absence of any particular topological structure. This may be the reason why neuronal activity does not outspread to the entire neuronal network, even when no special topological organization exists.

description: One of the most striking aspects of the 11-year sunspot cycle is that there have been times in the past when some cycles went missing, a most well-known example of this being the Maunder minimum during 1645-1715. Analyses of cosmogenic isotopes (C14 and Be10) indicated that there were about 27 grand minima in the last 11,000 yr, implying that about 2.7% of the solar cycles had conditions appropriate for forcing the Sun into grand minima. We address the question how grand minima are produced and specifically calculate the frequency of occurrence of grand minima from a theoretical dynamo model. We assume that fluctuations in the poloidal field generation mechanism and the meridional circulation produce irregularities of sunspot cycles. Taking these fluctuations to be Gaussian and estimating the values of important parameters from the data of last 28 solar cycles, we show from our flux transport dynamo model that about 1-4% of the sunspot cycles may have conditions suitable for inducing grand minima.

description: A novel approach to implement and control electron injection into the accelerating phase of a laser wakefield accelerator (LWFA) is presented. It utilizes a wire, which is introduced into the flow of a supersonic gas jet creating shock waves and three regions of differing plasma electron density. If tailored appropriately, the laser plasma interaction takes place in three stages: Laser self-compression, electron injection and acceleration in the second plasma wave period. Compared to self-injection by wavebreaking of a nonlinear plasma wave in a constant density plasma, this scheme increases beam charge by up to one order of magnitude in the quasi-monoenergetic regime. Electron acceleration in the second plasma wave period reduces electron beam divergence by approximately 25 %, and the localized injection at the density downramps results in spectra with less than a few percent relative spread.

description: The main objectives of this projects are the manufacturing process of PET bottle preforms for consumable drinks using ‘Grade A’ PET material and also design, and analysis of the strength and quality of the PET bottle preforms for consumable drinks. About 60% of the world’s PET is used in the manufacture of artificial fibers with bottle manufacturing bookkeeping about 30% of global request. Polyethylene terephthalate PET or polyester is the fourth most made polymer after Polyethylene PE, Polypropylene PP and Polyvinyl Chloride PVC. The chemical formula of Polyethylene terephthalate PET or polyester is (C10H8O4)n, having a molar mass between 10-50kg/mol and density of 1.38 g/cm3 at 20 °C, 1.370 g/cm3 (amorphous) and 1.455 g/cm3 (single crystal). It’s melting and boiling points are 250 °C < 260 °C and > 350 °C respectively. It is insoluble in water and has a thermal conductivity of 0.15 to 0.24 W/(m·K) and heat capacity of 1.0 kJ/(kg·K). The resultant bottle preforms yields by the mold is characteristically hygienic and has extraordinary accuracy but infrequent cases of alternating may occur at the bottle seams, where two mold halves meets. In such cases, operators sleek away the glut plastic and add it to the regrind for reuse. The engineering process of the PET plastic bottle water is done using an injection molding machine (for the preform)

description: The superconductor TmNi2B2C possesses a significant four-fold basal plane anisotropy, leading to a square Vortex Lattice (VL) at intermediate fields. However, unlike other members of the borocarbide superconductors, the anisotropy in TmNi2B2C appears to decrease with increasing field, evident by a reentrance of the square VL phase. We have used Small Angle Neutron Scattering measurements of the VL to study the field dependence of the anisotropy. Our results provide a direct, quantitative measurement of the decreasing anisotropy. We attribute this reduction of the basal plane anisotropy to the strong Pauli paramagnetic effects observed in TmNi2B2C and the resulting expansion of vortex cores near Hc2.

description: Soft-mode turbulence (SMT) is the spatiotemporal chaos observed in homeotropically aligned nematic liquid crystals, where non-thermal fluctuations are induced by nonlinear coupling between the Nambu-Goldstone and convective modes. The net and modal relaxations of the disorder pattern dynamics in SMT have been studied to construct the statistical physics of nonlinear nonequilibrium systems. The net relaxation dynamics is well-described by a compressed exponential function and the modal one satisfies a dual structure, dynamic crossover accompanied by a breaking of time-reversal invariance. Because the net relaxation is described by a weighted mean of the modal ones with respect to the wave number, the compressed-exponential behavior emerges as a superposition of the dual structure. Here, we present experimental results of the power spectra to discuss the compressed-exponential behavior and the dual structure from a viewpoint of the harmonic analysis. We also derive a relationship of the power spectra from the evolution equation of the modal autocorrelation function. The formula will be helpful to study non-thermal fluctuations in experiments such as the scattering methods.

Dry minor mergers and size evolution of high-z compact massive early-type galaxies

description: Recent observations show evidence that high-z (z\sim 2 - 3) early-type galaxies (ETGs) are more compact than those with comparable mass at z\sim 0. Such a size evolution is most likely explained by the `Dry Merger Sceanario'. However, previous studies based on this scenario are not able to consistantly explain both the properties of the high-z compact massive ETGs and the local ETGs. We investigate the effect of multiple sequential dry minor mergers on the size evolution of the compact massive ETGs. From an analysis of the Millennium Simulation Database, we show that such minor (stellar mass ratio $M_{2}/M_{1} < 1/4$) mergers are extremely common during hierarchical structure formation. We perform N-body simulations of sequential minor mergers with parabolic and head-on orbits, including a dark matter component and a stellar component. Typical mass ratios of the minor mergers are $1/20 < M_{2}/M_{1} < 1/10$. We show that sequential minor mergers of compact satellite galaxies are the most efficient at promoting size growth and decreasing the velocity dispersion of the compact massive ETGs in our simulations. The change of stellar size and density of the merger remnants is consistent with recent observations. Furthermore, we construct the merger histories of candidates for the high-z compact massive ETGs using the Millennium Simulation Database, and estimate the size growth of the galaxies by the dry minor merger scenario. We can reproduce the mean size growth factor between $z=2$ and $z=0$, assuming the most efficient size growth obtained during sequential minor mergers in our simulations. However, we note that our numerical result is only valid for merger histories with typical mass ratios between 1/20 and 1/10 with parabolic and head-on orbits, and that our most efficient size growth efficiency is likely to an upper limit.
