Trajectory-based approaches to vibronic spectroscopy of molecular systems
Creators: name: Karsten, Sven
Publisher: name: Universität Rostock
Year: 2018
Subjects: subject: 530 Physics

description: The goal of this thesis is to bridge the gap between the two standard theoretical approaches to vibronic spectroscopy via trajectory-based methods. As the starting point, a generalized time-correlation function is introduced and the ring-polymer molecular dynamics method is generalized to vibronic transitions, yielding an improvement over known classical approximations. Further, the vibronic spectrum is evaluated via the Matsubara dynamics. Employing an ad-hoc modification, the sign problem of the Matsubara method can be circumvented and the spectra of model systems are adequately simulated.

description: We analyze the average fidelity (say, F) and the fidelity deviation (say, D) in noisy-channel quantum teleportation. Here, F represents how well teleportation is performed on average and D quantifies whether the teleportation is performed impartially on the given inputs, that is, the condition of universality. Our analysis results prove that the achievable maximum average fidelity ensures zero fidelity deviation, that is, perfect universality. This structural trait of teleportation is distinct from those of other limited-fidelity probabilistic quantum operations, for instance, universal-NOT or quantum cloning. This feature is confirmed again based on a tighter relationship between F and D in the qubit case. We then consider another realistic noise model where F decreases and D increases due to imperfect control. To alleviate such deterioration, we propose a machine-learning-based algorithm. We demonstrate by means of numerical simulations that the proposed algorithm can stabilize the system. Notably, the recovery process consists solely of the maximization of F, which reduces the control time, thus leading to a faster cure cycle.

description: We report the optical polarization of a gamma ray burst (GRB) afterglow, obtained 203 seconds after the initial burst of gamma rays from GRB 060418, using a ring polarimeter on the robotic Liverpool Telescope. Our robust (2-sigma) upper limit on the percentage of polarization, less than 8%, coincides with the fireball deceleration time at the onset of the afterglow. The combination of the rate of decay of the optical brightness and the low polarization at this critical time constrains standard models of GRB ejecta, ruling out the presence of a large-scale ordered magnetic field in the emitting region.

description: Randomization of quantum states is the quantum analogue of the classical one-time pad. We present an improved, efficient construction of an approximately randomizing map that uses O(d/epsilon^2) Pauli operators to map any d-dimensional state to a state that is within trace distance epsilon of the completely mixed state. Our bound is a log d factor smaller than that of Hayden, Leung, Shor, and Winter (2004), and Ambainis and Smith (2004). Then, we show that a random sequence of essentially the same number of unitary operators, chosen from an appropriate set, with high probability form an approximately randomizing map for d-dimensional states. Finally, we discuss the optimality of these schemes via connections to different notions of pseudorandomness, and give a new lower bound for small epsilon.

Plato’s Parmenides, part two : a suggestion /
Creators: name: Schmidt, Louise Mireille (Poudrier)
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2008

description: Contemporary interpretations of the second part of Plato's Parmenides have excluded consideration of a pro-Eleatic intent, on Plato's part, on the grounds that Eleaticism advocates a monism inconsistent with the pluralism implicit in this part of the dialogue. Some recent interpreters of Eleaticism have suggested interpretations of the Parmenidean doctrine that are accommodating of pluralism, in varying degrees. If such interpretations are viable, then the way is cleared for a Pro- Eleatic Interpretation of the second part of Plato's Parmenides. There is historical evidence for the existence of a Pro-Eleatic Interpretation of Part Two in the early part of the present millennium. A review of the text of the Parmenides reveals that it is consistent with, and in places suggests, the adoption of a pro- Eleatic frame of reference for the interpretation of the second part. From these and further considerations, I will conclude that sufficient evidence exists to warrant a full examination of the viability of a pro-Eleatic intent in the second part of the Parmenides, in the light of an alternate understanding of the "Way of Truth" of Parmenides of Elea.

description: This thesis discusses the memory of the Shoah in Thessaloniki in contemporary German and Greek literature. There are two literary works examined: the novel “Lebt” (2014) by the German writer of Turkish origin, Orkun Ertener, and the novel “Uncle Abraham is always here” (2016) by Elena Chouzouri. This dissertation consists of two parts. The first part thoroughly examines the historic facts of the German occupation in Thessaloniki and the mass extermination of the Hebrew population of the city, as well as the generational memory in the Greek and German memory culture. The second part analyses the generational memory in the two novels. More specifically, this dissertation examines how the past is concealed and how it turns into a family ghost that is passed on from generation to generation. Finally, this dissertation explores “the Media” by which the memory - the ghost of the past - is passed on and how this memory becomes a transgenerational heritage

Τα δύο λογοτεχνικά έργα που εξετάζονται είναι το μυθιστόρημα «Lebt» (2014) του γερμανού συγγραφέα τουρκικής καταγωγής Orkun Ertener και «Ο θείος Αβραάμ μένει πάντα εδώ» (2016) της Έλενας Χουζούρη. Η εργασία διαρθρώνεται σε δύο μέρη: στο πρώτο παρουσιάζονται σε αδρές γραμμές αφενός τα ιστορικά γεγονότα της γερμανικής κατοχής στη Θεσσαλονίκη και η εξόντωση των Εβραίων της πόλης και αφετέρου η λειτουργία της μνήμης των γενεών (Generationengedaechtnis) στην ελληνική και γερμανική «κουλτούρα μνήμης» (Erinnerungskultur) αντίστοιχα. Στο δεύτερο μέρος πραγματοποιείται η ανάλυση της μνήμης των γενεών στα δύο έργα. Πιο συγκεκριμένα, εξετάζεται η αποσιώπηση του παρελθόντος και ο τρόπος με τον οποίο αυτή μετατρέπεται σε οικογενειακό φάντασμα που μεταφέρεται από γενιά σε γενιά.

description: It is shown in this paper that for open systems, states which are localized in space, discrete in energy, and embedded in the continuum of extended states, can be sustained by low-dimensional and channeled leads. These states have an origin different from that of analogous states discussed by J. von Neumann and E. Wigner [Phys. Z., vol. 30, 465 (1929)]. A few representative systems are discussed. These states cause, for example, infinitely sharp Fano resonance in transport when they are marginally destroyed.

description: Raspberry, the fruit of Rubus Chingji Hu, is a widely distributed economic staple food in China. It has long been used as a traditional medicine in mainland China to treat kidney enuresis, nocturnal emission and premature ejaculation in clinic. In this paper, six known compounds (1 – 6) were purified from the fruits of Rubus chingji. Their structures were elucidated as (16α)-16,17-dihydroxy-ent-kauran-2-one17-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (1), (16R) -16,17-dihydroxy-ent-kaurane-2-one (2), 3,3′-di-O-methylellagic acid 4-(5′′-acetyl)-α-L-arabinofuranoside (3), quercilicoside A (4), esculetine (5) and ethyl-β-D-glucoside (6). All the compounds were isolated from Rubus Chingji Hu for the first time. Compounds 3 and 5 shown distinctive free radical scavenging activities in DPPH and FRAP assays. In addition, no cytotoxicity was observed for compounds 3 and 5 against different cancer cells, suggesting that they might be useful as potential antioxidant agents against various reactive oxygen species.

description: The density, spin and isospin correlation functions in nuclear matter with a neutron-proton ($np$) condensate are calculated to study the possible signatures of the BEC-BCS crossover in the low-density region. It is shown that the criterion of the crossover (Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 95}, 090402 (2005)), consisting in the change of the sign of the density correlation function at low momentum transfer, fails to describe correctly the density-driven BEC-BCS transition at finite isospin asymmetry or finite temperature. As an unambiguous signature of the BEC-BCS transition, there can be used the presence (BCS regime) or absence (BEC regime) of the singularity in the momentum distribution of the quasiparticle density of states.

Geometric signatures of tissue surface tension in a three-dimensional model of confluent tissue

description: In dense biological tissues, cell types performing different roles remain segregated by maintaining sharp interfaces. To better understand the mechanisms for such sharp compartmentalization, we study the effect of an imposed heterotypic tension at the interface between two distinct cell types in a fully 3D model for confluent tissues. We find that cells rapidly sort and self-organize to generate a tissue-scale interface between cell types, and cells adjacent to this interface exhibit signature geometric features including nematic-like ordering, bimodal facet areas, and registration, or alignment, of cell centers on either side of the two-tissue interface. The magnitude of these features scales directly with the magnitude of imposed tension, suggesting that biologists can estimate the magnitude of tissue surface tension between two tissue types simply by segmenting a 3D tissue. To uncover the underlying physical mechanisms driving these geometric features, we develop two minimal, ordered models using two different underlying lattices that identify an energetic competition between bulk cell shapes and tissue interface area. When the interface area dominates, changes to neighbor topology are costly and occur less frequently, which generates the observed geometric features.

The relationship between intelligence and attention in kindergarten children
Creators: name: Carter, John D.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2008

description: The purpose of this study was to compare two conflicting theoretical perspectives on the relationship between intelligence and sustained attention. The cognitive resources theory assumes that lower IQ subjects are required to allocate greater amounts of their limited attentional resources during information-processing tasks than higher IQ subjects. The arousal theory assumes that there is an optimal level of arousal associated with task performance, and that an increase or decrease in arousal produces impairment in performance. Additionally the arousal theory predicts that increased time on task leads to a decrement in arousal as a function of IQ levels. Signal detection theory applications were used to operationalize and compare the two theories. Specifically, the signal detection parameters of sensory acuity ( d’), the decision criterion (a), correct detections, and false alarms were used to determine subject performance across three time periods ( 2, 4, and 6 mm.) on a visual continuous performance task. Twenty-nine teacher-nominated at-risk for learning difficulties and twenty-nine normally achieving kindergarten students were adminstered the Stanford-Binet:Fourth Edition (SB:FE) and the Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence-Revised (WPPSI.R), as well as the Gordon Diagnostic System (GDS) Vigilance Task. The GDS is a standardized behaviour-based measure of sustained attention. The results of this study were interpreted as suggesting that ability group differences reflect attentional capacity. Two findings were important in this interpretation. First, regardless of IQ, the groups varied on the signal detection discrimination index. Second, these measures did not vary over time in either group. Thus, the arousal theory was not supported. IQ and attention intercorrelation patterns were higher for the at-risk group compared to the normally achieving group. Exploratory maximum-likelihood factor analyses indicated that intelligence plays a greater role in relation to vigilance for the at-risk for learning difficulties group than the normal achieving group.

description: We have recently constructed a many-body theory for composite excitons, in which the possible carrier exchanges between $N$ excitons can be treated exactly through a set of dimensionless ``Pauli scatterings'' between two excitons. Many-body effects with excitons turn out to be rather simple because excitons are the exact one-electron-hole-pair eigenstates of the semiconductor Hamiltonian, thus forming a complete orthogonal set for one-pair states. It can however be of interest to extend this new many-body theory to more complicated composite bosons, \emph{i. e.}, ``cobosons'', which are not necessarily the one-pair eigenstates of the system Hamiltonian, nor even orthogonal. The purpose of this paper is to derive the ``Pauli scatterings'' and the ``interaction scatterings'' of these cobosons formally, \emph{i. e.}, just in terms of their wave functions and the interaction potentials which exist between the fermions from which they are constructed. We also explain how to derive many-body effects in this very general system of composite bosons.

description: It is argued that the dominant contribution to the interaction of quark gluon plasma at moderate $T\geq T_c$ is given by the nonperturbative vacuum field correlators. Basing on that nonperturbative equation of state of quark-gluon plasma is computed and in the lowest approximation expressed in terms of absolute values of Polyakov lines for quarks and gluons $L_{fund} (T); L_{adj}(T)=(L_{fund})^{9/4}$known from lattice and analytic calculations. Phase transition at any $μ$ is described as a transition due to vanishing of one of correlators, $ D^E(x)$, which implies the change of gluonic condensate $ΔG_2$. Resulting transition temperature $T_c(μ)$ is calculated in terms of $Δ$$G_2$ and $L_{fund}(T_c)$. The phase curve $T_c(μ)$ is in good agreement with lattice data. In particular $T_c(0)=0.27; 0.19; 0.17$ GeV for $n_f=0,2,3$ and fixed $ΔG_2=0.0035$ GeV$^4$.

New Model of One-dimensional Completed Scattering and the Problem of Quantum Nonlocality

Year: 2006
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The origin of nonlocality in quantum mechanics (QM) is analyzed from the viewpoint of our new model of a one-dimensional (1D) completed scattering. Our study of quantum nonlocality complements those carried out by Volovich and Khrennikov. They pointed to an unphysical character of nonlocality in Bell's theorem whose context does not contain the very structure of the space-time. However, there is another reason leading to nonlocality in QM. The existing model of a 1D completed scattering evidences that QM, as it stands, even with a proper space-time context, contradicts special relativity. By our model this scattering process represents an entanglement of two coherently evolved alternative sub-processes, transmission and reflection; whose characteristics are measured well after the scattering event. Quantum nonlocality appears in this problem due to the inconsistency of the superposition principle with the corpuscular properties of a particle. It can take part only in one of the sub-processes. However the superposition principle allows introducing observables common for them. In the fresh wording, this principle must forbid introducing observables for entangled states.

The pressures in all spaces are proportional to the density: p_i = w_i ρ, i = 0,...,n. Solutions with accelerated expansion of our 3-space M_0 and small enough variation of the gravitational constant G are found. These solutions exist for two branches of the parameter w_0. The first branch describes superstiff matter with w_0 > 1, the second one may contain phantom matter with w_0 < - 1, e.g., when G grows with time.

description: The single-particle and interaction effects on the cohesion, electronic transport, and some magnetic properties of metallic nanocylinders have been studied at finite voltages by using a generalized mean-field electron model. The electron-electron interactions are treated in the self-consistent Hartree approximation. Our results show the single-particle effect is dominant in the cohesive force, while the nonzero magnetoconductance and magnetotension coefficients are attributed to the interaction effect. Both single-particle and interaction effects are important to the differential conductance and magnetic susceptibility.

description: Properties of $n(\ge 5)$-dimensional static wormhole solutions are investigated in Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity with or without a cosmological constant $Λ$. We assume that the spacetime has symmetries corresponding to the isometries of an $(n-2)$-dimensional maximally symmetric space with the sectional curvature $k=\pm 1, 0$. It is also assumed that the metric is at least $C^{2}$ and the $(n-2)$-dimensional maximally symmetric subspace is compact. Depending on the existence or absence of the general relativistic limit $α\to 0$, solutions are classified into general relativistic (GR) and non-GR branches, respectively, where $α$ is the Gauss-Bonnet coupling constant. We show that a wormhole throat respecting the dominant energy condition coincides with a branch surface in the GR branch, otherwise the null energy condition is violated there. In the non-GR branch, it is shown that there is no wormhole solution for $kα\ge 0$. For the matter field with zero tangential pressure, it is also shown in the non-GR branch with $kα<0$ and $Λ\le 0$ that the dominant energy condition holds at the wormhole throat if the radius of the throat satisfies some inequality. In the vacuum case, a fine-tuning of the coupling constants is shown to be necessary and the radius of a wormhole throat is fixed. Explicit wormhole solutions respecting the energy conditions in the whole spacetime are obtained in the vacuum and dust cases with $k=-1$ and $α>0$.

description: This letter explores covariance matching-based adaptive robust cubature Kalman filter (CMRACKF). In this method, the innovation sequence is used to determine the covariance matrix of measurement noise that can overcome the limitation of conventional CKF. In the proposed algorithm, weights are adaptively adjusted and used for updating the measurement noise covariance matrices online. It can also enhance the adaptive capability of the ACKF. The simulation results are illustrated to evaluate the performance of the proposed algorithm.

description: Η εξωτερική πολιτική που ασκεί η Ελλάδα επηρεάζεται σημαντικά από την γεωπολιτική της θέση. Καθώς η χώρα αποτελεί τμήμα της ευρύτερης και εύφλεκτης περιοχής των Βαλκανίων, η σχέση που αναπτύσσει με τα γειτονικά κράτη είναι καθοριστικής σημασίας για τον ρόλο που αναλαμβάνει να διαδραματίσει στην περιφέρειά της. Ύστερα από την διάλυση της Γιουγκοσλαβίας προέκυψαν νέα κράτη στα βόρεια σύνορα της χώρας. Ο ρόλος που αναλαμβάνει η Ελλάδα στο νέο πολιτικό περιβάλλον που δημιουργείται στην γειτονιά της επηρεάζεται από την ανακίνηση του Μακεδονικού Ζητήματος με την Πρώην Γιουγκοσλαβική Δημοκρατία της Μακεδονίας. Παρά τις πρόσκαιρες παλινωδίες, η Ελλάδα επιλέγει να ακολουθήσει τον δρόμο του πολιτικού ρεαλισμού πετυχαίνοντας το μέγιστο όφελος για την ίδια την χώρα και τα συμφέροντά της.
description: Foreign policy Greece is significantly influenced by its geopolitical position. As the country is part of the wider and combustible in the Balkan region, the relationship that develops with neighboring States is crucial to the role that takes to play in the region. After the breakup of Yugoslavia emerged new States on the northern border of the country. The role undertaken by Greece in the new political environment created in the neighborhood affected by the shaking of the Macedonian issue in the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia. Despite the occasional retractions, Greece chooses to follow the road of political realism, achieving the maximum benefit for the country and its interests.

description: This paper gives a simple and original presentation of various coronagraphs inherited from the Lyot coronagraph. We first present the Lyot and Roddier phase mask coronagraphs and study their properties as a function of the focal mask size. We show that the Roddier phase mask can be used to produce an apodization for the star. Optimal coronagraphy can be obtained from two main approaches, using prolate spheroidal pupil apodization and a finite-size focal mask, or using a clear aperture and an infinite mask of variable transmission.

description: This paper presents the numerical solution of immiscible two-phase flows in porous media, obtained by a first-order finite element method equipped with mass-lumping and flux up-winding. The unknowns are the physical phase pressure and phase saturation. Our numerical experiments confirm that the method converges optimally for manufactured solutions. For both structured and unstructured meshes, we observe the high-accuracy wetting saturation profile that ensures minimal numerical diffusion at the front. Performing several examples of quarter-five spot problems in two and three dimensions, we show that the method can easily handle heterogeneities in the permeability field. Two distinct features that make the method appealing to reservoir simulators are: (i) maximum principle is satisfied, and (ii) mass balance is locally conserved.

description: Lawyers and judges spend a large amount of time researching the proper legal authority to cite while drafting decisions. In this paper, we develop a citation recommendation tool that can help improve efficiency in the process of opinion drafting. We train four types of machine learning models, including a citation-list based method (collaborative filtering) and three context-based methods (text similarity, BiLSTM and RoBERTa classifiers). Our experiments show that leveraging local textual context improves recommendation, and that deep neural models achieve decent performance. We show that non-deep text-based methods benefit from access to structured case metadata, but deep models only benefit from such access when predicting from context of insufficient length. We also find that, even after extensive training, RoBERTa does not outperform a recurrent neural model, despite its benefits of pretraining. Our behavior analysis of the RoBERTa model further shows that predictive performance is stable across time and citation classes.

description: We have monitored the Neptune-mass exoplanet-hosting M-dwarf Gl 581 with the 1m Swope Telescope at Las Campanas Observatory over two predicted transit epochs. A neutral density filter centered at 550nm was used during the first epoch, yielding 6.33 hours of continuous light curve coverage with an average photometric precision of 1.6 mmags and a cadence of 2.85 min. The second epoch was monitored in B-band over 5.85 hours, with an average photometric precision of 1.2 mmags and 4.28 min cadence. No transits are apparent on either night, indicating that the orbital inclination is less than 88.1 deg for all planets with radius larger than 0.38 R_Nep = 1.48 R_Earth. Because planets of most reasonable interior composition have radii larger than 1.55 R_Earth we place an inclination limit for the system of 88.1 deg. The corresponding minimum mass of Gl 581b remains 0.97 M_Nep = 16.6 M_Earth.

description: We study turbulent flows in a smooth straight pipe of circular cross--section up to $Re_τ \approx 6000$ using direct--numerical-simulation (DNS) of the Navier--Stokes equations. The DNS results highlight systematic deviations from Prandtl friction law, amounting to about $2\%$, which would extrapolate to about $4\%$ at extreme Reynolds numbers. Data fitting of the DNS friction coefficient yields an estimated von Kármán constant $k \approx 0.387$, which nicely fits the mean velocity profile, and which supports universality of canonical wall-bounded flows. The same constant also applies to the pipe centerline velocity, thus providing support for the claim that the asymptotic state of pipe flow at extreme Reynolds numbers should be plug flow. At the Reynolds numbers under scrutiny, no evidence for saturation of the logarithmic growth of the inner peak of the axial velocity variance is found. Although no outer peak of the velocity variance directly emerges in our DNS, we provide strong evidence that it should appear at $Re_τ \gtrsim 10^4$, as a result of turbulence production exceeding dissipation over a large part of the outer wall layer, thus invalidating the classical equilibrium hypothesis.

description: Ο έλεγχος οδικής ασφάλειας (ΕΟΑ) είναι μια διαδικασία κατά την οποία, ένα οδικό τμήμα αξιολογείται για το κατά πόσο είναι σε θέση ή όχι να αποτελεί παράγοντα κινδύνου για την πρόκληση ατυχημάτων. Σε όποιο χρονικό στάδιο της κατασκευής ή της λειτουργίας μιας οδικής υποδομής εκτελείται, περιλαμβάνει καταγραφή των θέσεων που μπορεί να καταστούν επικίνδυνες επειδή εξετάζει μια σειρά από διατάξεις: από τα στοιχεία του οδοστρώματος, τη γεωμετρία χάραξης αλλά και τα στοιχεία εξοπλισμού που επιτυγχάνουν ή θα πρέπει να επιτυγχάνουν τη βέλτιστη λειτουργία της οδού σε διάφορες συνθήκες περιβάλλοντος και κυκλοφορίας. Ως αποτέλεσμα οι ελεγκτές αξιολογούν την βαρύτητα των ευρημάτων τους ως προς την δυνητική συνεισφορά τους στον αριθμό και τη σοβαρότητα των ατυχημάτων. Κατόπιν, ανάλογα με τη χρονική φάση, στην οποία συνέπεσε ο έλεγχος, καθορίζεται η δέσμη παρεμβάσεων: τροποποίηση της μελέτης, μέτρα βελτίωσης της υπάρχουσας προβληματικής υποδομής κλπ. Ως στόχος παραμένει, η εξάλειψη του αριθμού των ατυχημάτων και η μείωση της σοβαρότητας αυτών.
description: During the process of Road Safety Audit, a road section is being assessed on whether could form a possible dangerous factor for causing accidents. No matter when the audit is carried out or which function of the road infrastructure tests, it includes the listing of the perilous spots checking a series of matters: the elements of the road surface, the road alignment and the equipment elements which achieve or should meet the success of optimal function in various environment and traffic conditions. As a result the inspectors assess the importance of their findings according to the role could play in numerous and serious accidents. Consequently, depending on the timeline, a number of changes are being set: modification of the project, improving measures of the existing defective infrastructure etc. The final goal always remains to be the elimination of the accidents’ number and severity.
