Hydrodynamic approach to the evolution of cosmological structures
Creators: name: Dominguez, Alvaro
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2000
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A hydrodynamic formulation of the evolution of large-scale structure in the Universe is presented. It relies on the spatially coarse-grained description of the dynamical evolution of a many-body gravitating system. Because of the assumed irrelevance of short-range (``collisional'') interactions, the way to tackle the hydrodynamic equations is essentially different from the usual case. The main assumption is that the influence of the small scales over the large-scale evolution is weak: this idea is implemented in the form of a large-scale expansion for the coarse-grained equations. This expansion builds a framework in which to derive in a controlled manner the popular ``dust'' model (as the lowest-order term) and the ``adhesion'' model (as the first-order correction). It provides a clear physical interpretation of the assumptions involved in these models and also the possibility to improve over them.

How can Organisations take a data-driven approach to Research Security?
Creators: name: Smee, Elizabeth
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: Research security programs have become increasingly vital for academic organisations worldwide. In response to the growing emphasis from global research organisations, funders, and regulatory bodies on the importance of building secure and trusted international collaborations, organisations are actively seeking solutions to increase transparency and safeguard research integrity.

During this presentation, we will explore how to use an extensive range of data sources, such as publication and funding history, to verify the credentials of researchers and identify potential conflicts of interest. We will discuss how to leverage a data-driven approach to address compliance objectives, encompassing risk profiling, ethics assessment, and the disclosure of foreign influence. Additionally, we will explore trust markers that organisations can use to foster transparent and ethical research management.
Wolf Space Coset Spectrum in the Large ${\cal N}=4$ Holography

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: After reviewing the four eigenvalues (the conformal dimension, two $SU(2)$ quantum number, and $U(1)$ charge) in the minimal (and higher) representations in the Wolf space coset where the ${\cal N}=4$ superconformal algebra is realized by $11$ currents in nonlinear way, these four eigenvalues in the higher representations up to three boxes (of Young tableaux) are examined in detail. The eigenvalues associated with the higher spin-$1,2,3$ currents in the (minimal and) higher representations up to two boxes are studied. They are expressed in terms of the two finite parameters $(N, k)$ where the Wolf space coset contains the group $SU(N+2)$ and the affine Kac-Moody spin $1$ current has the level $k$. Under the large $(N,k)$ 't Hooft-like limit, they are simply linear combinations of the eigenvalues in the minimal representations. For the linear case where the ${\cal N}=4$ superconformal algebra is realized by $16$ currents in linear way, the eigenvalues, corresponding to the spin $2$ current and the higher spin $3$ current, which are the only different quantities (compared to the nonlinear case), are also obtained at finite $(N,k)$. They coincide with the results for the nonlinear case above after the large $(N,k)$ 't Hooft-like limit is taken. As a by product, the three-point functions of the higher spin currents with two scalar operators can be determined at finite $(N,k)$.

Electromagnetic field correlations near a surface with a nonlocal optical response

description: The coherence length of the thermal electromagnetic field near a planar surface has a minimum value related to the nonlocal dielectric response of the material. We perform two model calculations of the electric energy density and the field's degree of spatial coherence. Above a polar crystal, the lattice constant gives the minimum coherence length. It also gives the upper limit to the near field energy density, cutting off its $1/z^3$ divergence. Near an electron plasma described by the semiclassical Lindhard dielectric function, the corresponding length scale is fixed by plasma screening to the Thomas-Fermi length. The electron mean free path, however, sets a larger scale where significant deviations from the local description are visible.

description: The icy satellites around Jupiter are considered to have formed in a circumplanetary disk. While previous models focused on the formation of satellites starting from satellitesimals, the question of how satellitesimals form from smaller dust particles has not been addressed so far. In this work, we study the possibility that satellitesimals form in situ in a circumplanetary disk. We calculate the radial distribution of the surface density and representative size of icy dust particles that grow by colliding with each other and drift toward the central planet in a steady circumplanetary disk with a continuous supply of gas and dust from the parent protoplanetary disk. The radial drift barrier is overcome if the ratio of the dust to gas accretion rates onto the circumplanetary disk, $\dot{M}_{\mathrm{d}}/\dot{M}_{\mathrm{g}}$, is high and the strength of turbulence, $α$, is not too low. The collision velocity is lower than the critical velocity of fragmentation when $α$ is low. Taken together, we find that the conditions for satellitesimal formation via dust coagulation are given by $\dot{M}_{\mathrm{d}}/\dot{M}_{\mathrm{g}}\ge1$ and $10^{-4}\leα<10^{-2}$. The former condition is generally difficult to achieve, suggesting that the in-situ satellitesimal formation via particle sticking is viable only under an extreme condition. We also show that neither satellitesimal formation via the collisional growth of porous aggregates nor via streaming instability is viable as long as $\dot{M}_{\mathrm{d}}/\dot{M}_{\mathrm{g}}$ is low.

Gravitational Wave Solutions to Linearized Jordan-Brans-Dicke Theory on a Cosmological Background
Creators: name: Dunya, Onder

Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Approximate vacuum solutions of Jordan-Brans-Dicke theory for perturbed scalar field and perturbed Robertson-Walker metric, are found. Solutions for the scale factor and the scalar field in unperturbed JBD theory are dependent on the $ω$ parameter which determines how the scalar field is coupled to geometry of space-time. After adding a metric perturbation to Robertson-Walker metric and a perturbation to the scalar field, we solved the linearized JBD equations and found the scale factor and the scalar field as $a\propto t$ and $ϕ\propto t^{-2}$ with $ω=$-3/2. The results are necessary conditions for ordinary and scalar gravitational waves to exist in the vacuum case. Despite omega is a large positive number for current solar system environment observations, this value of omega makes JBD theory conformally invariant and fits recent supernovae type Ia data. We also looked for the value of omega for the case which has nonzero spatial curvature parameter.

These data reveal both a long-term modulation at P = 420.8 +/- 0.8 d and a short-term modulation at 16.6510 +/- 0.0022 d which, within errors, confirms the previously found orbital period. Furthermore, the orbital activity is only seen at certain phases of the 421 d cycle suggesting that the long-term modulation is related to variations in the Be star envelope.

Insensitivity of The Distance Ladder Hubble Constant Determination to Cepheid Calibration Modeling Choices

description: Recent determination of the Hubble constant via Cepheid-calibrated supernovae by \citet{riess_2.4_2016} (R16) find $\sim 3σ$ tension with inferences based on cosmic microwave background temperature and polarization measurements from $Planck$. This tension could be an indication of inadequacies in the concordance $Λ$CDM model. Here we investigate the possibility that the discrepancy could instead be due to systematic bias or uncertainty in the Cepheid calibration step of the distance ladder measurement by R16. We consider variations in total-to-selective extinction of Cepheid flux as a function of line-of-sight, hidden structure in the period-luminosity relationship, and potentially different intrinsic color distributions of Cepheids as a function of host galaxy. Considering all potential sources of error, our final determination of $H_0 = 73.3 \pm 1.7~{\rm km/s/Mpc}$ (not including systematic errors from the treatment of geometric distances or Type Ia Supernovae) shows remarkable robustness and agreement with R16. We conclude systematics from the modeling of Cepheid photometry, including Cepheid selection criteria, cannot explain the observed tension between Cepheid-variable and CMB-based inferences of the Hubble constant. Considering a `model-independent' approach to relating Cepheids in galaxies with known distances to Cepheids in galaxies hosting a Type Ia supernova and finding agreement with the R16 result, we conclude no generalization of the model relating anchor and host Cepheid magnitude measurements can introduce significant bias in the $H_0$ inference.

The plant defensin NaD1 is a potent antifungal molecule that also targets tumor cells with a high efficiency. We examined the features of NaD1 that contribute to these two activities by producing a series of chimeras with NaD2, a defensin that has relatively poor activity against fungi and no activity against tumor cells. All plant defensins have a common tertiary structure known as a cysteine-stabilized α-β motif which consists of an α helix and a triple-stranded β-sheet stabilized by four disulfide bonds. The chimeras were produced by replacing loops 1 to 7, the sequences between each of the conserved cysteine residues on NaD1, with the corresponding loops from NaD2. The loop 5 swap replaced the sequence motif (SKILRR) that mediates tight binding with phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate [PI(4,5)P2] and is essential for the potent cytotoxic effect of NaD1 on tumor cells. Consistent with previous reports, there was a strong correlation between PI(4,5)P2 binding and the tumor cell killing activity of all of the chimeras. However, this correlation did not extend to antifungal activity. Some of the loop swap chimeras were efficient antifungal molecules, even though they bound poorly to PI(4,5)P2, suggesting that additional mechanisms operate against fungal cells. Unexpectedly, the loop 1B swap chimera was 10 times more active than NaD1 against filamentous fungi. This led to the conclusion that defensin loops have evolved as modular components that combine to make antifungal molecules with variable mechanisms of action and that artificial combinations of loops can increase antifungal activity compared to that of the natural variants.

description: Consider the graph $\mathbb{H}(d)$ whose vertex set is the hyperbolic plane, where two points are connected with an edge when their distance is equal to some $d>0$. Asking for the chromatic number of this graph is the hyperbolic analogue to the famous Hadwiger-Nelson problem about colouring the points of the Euclidean plane so that points at distance $1$ receive different colours. As in the Euclidean case, one can lower bound the chromatic number of $\mathbb{H}(d)$ by $4$ for all $d$. Using spectral methods, we prove that if the colour classes are measurable, then at least $6$ colours are are needed to properly colour $\mathbb{H}(d)$ when $d$ is sufficiently large.

Subjects: subject: High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena (astro-ph.HE)

description: Jet breaks in gamma ray burst (GRB) afterglows provide a direct probe of their collimation angle. Modeling a jet break requires an understanding of the "jet spreading" process, whereby the jet transitions from a collimated outflow into the spherical Sedov-Taylor solution at late times. Currently, direct numerical calculations are the most accurate way to capture the deceleration and spreading process, as analytical models have previously given inaccurate descriptions of the dynamics. Here (in paper I) we present a new, semi-analytical model built empirically by performing relativistic numerical jet calculations and measuring the relationship between Lorentz factor and opening angle. We then calculate the Lorentz factor and jet opening angle as a function of shock radius and compare to the numerical solutions. Our analytic model provides an efficient means of computing synthetic GRB afterglow light curves and spectra, which is the focus of paper II.

Sensitive data integration services using shared data environments
Creators: name: Samarage, Rajeev
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: The amount of data from secondary sources available for research is increasing due to recent changes in legislation and regulation around data sharing. Given the changing threat landscape (as evidenced by recent high profile data breaches in the country) and the changing requirements of researchers to undertake deeper analyses using sensitive data, there is now an ever-growing need for sensitive data environments within the existing infrastructure made available for research.

The Integrated Research Infrastructure for Social Sciences (IRISS) project is working towards providing a new foundation for integrating data, analysis, and platforms for social science research in Australia. One of its core components is the demonstration of how sensitive data environments can support and uplift existing data analytics practices while maintaining data confidentiality and the trust of data custodians. This project leverages the Melbourne Institute's data expertise and their dedicated sensitive environment, the Melbourne Institute Data Lab, to showcase existing IRISS services can work within a high security setting. Our work for the IRISS project aims to showcase how sensitive data can be managed and incorporated into curation pipelines that enable the creation of 'research ready' versions of the data. These data enable faster research while contributing to a digital community of practice, the shared data environment – where data assets, documentation and program code can be shared with approved users inside the secure environment.

This presentation is intended to be delivered as a part of a session on the Integrated Research Infrastructure for Social Science (IRISS) project.

description: This work presents the evolution of a solution for predictive maintenance to a Big Data environment. The proposed adaptation aims for predicting failures on wind turbines using a data-driven solution deployed in the cloud and which is composed by three main modules. (i) A predictive model generator which generates predictive models for each monitored wind turbine by means of Random Forest algorithm. (ii) A monitoring agent that makes predictions every 10 minutes about failures in wind turbines during the next hour. Finally, (iii) a dashboard where given predictions can be visualized. To implement the solution Apache Spark, Apache Kafka, Apache Mesos and HDFS have been used. Therefore, we have improved the previous work in terms of data process speed, scalability and automation. In addition, we have provided fault-tolerant functionality with a centralized access point from where the status of all the wind turbines of a company localized all over the world can be monitored, reducing O&M costs.

An electromagnetic field with general time-dependence is considered. The outcome is compared with previously published results. In the absence of losses, agreement with the general result for the energy density in a dispersive material is obtained. The formulae are verified using the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) numerical method. The applicability of two commonly used permeability models to the problem of calculating the energy stored in an array of split-ring resonators is discussed.

Neutrinos and the Highest Energy Cosmic Rays

description: Observation of Ultra High Energy Cosmic Rays (UHECR) -whose energy exceeds $10^20$eV- is still a puzzle for modern astrophysics. The transfer of more than 16 Joules to a microscopic particle can hardly be achieved, even in the most powerful cosmic accelerators such as AGN's, GRB's or FR-II radio galaxy lobes. Potential sources must also lie within 100 Mpc of the Earth as the interaction length of protons, nuclei or photons is less than 10Mpc. However no visible counterpart of those sources has been observed. Calling upon new physics such as Topological Defect interactions or Super Massive Relic Particle decays is therefore very tempting, but such objects are yet to be proven to exist. Due to the very low flux of UHECR only very large dedicated experiments, such as the Auger observatories, will allow to shed some light on the origin of those cosmic rays. In this quest neutrinos, if they can be detected, are an invaluable messengers of the nature of the sources.

description: © 2016 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. Plant defensins interact with phospholipids in bilayers as part of their cytotoxic activity. Solanaceous class II defensins with the loop 5 sequence pattern "S-[KR]-[ILVQ]-[ILVQ]-[KR]-[KR]" interact with PI(4,5)P2. Here, the prototypical defensin of this class, NaD1, is used to characterise the biophysical interactions between these defensins and phospholipid bilayers. Binding of NaD1 to bilayers containing PI(4,5)P2 occurs rapidly and the interaction is very strong. Dual polarisation interferometry revealed that NaD1 does not dissociate from bilayers containing PI(4,5)P2. Binding of NaD1 to bilayers with or without PI(4,5)P2 induced disorder in the bilayer. However, permeabilisation assays revealed that NaD1 only permeabilised liposomes with PI(4,5)P2 in the bilayer, suggesting a role for this protein-lipid interaction in the plasma membrane permeabilising activity of this defensin. No defensins in the available databases have the PI(4,5)P2 binding sequence outside the solanaceous class II defensins, leading to the hypothesis that PI(4,5)P2 binding co-evolved with the C-terminal propeptide to protect the host cell against the effects of the tight binding of these defensins to their cognate lipid as they travel along the secretory pathway. This data has allowed us to develop a new model to explain how this class of defensins permeabilises plasma membranes to kill target cells.

description: Stabilizer codes are a simple and successful class of quantum error-correcting codes. Yet this success comes in spite of some harsh limitations on the ability of these codes to fault-tolerantly compute. Here we introduce a new metric for these codes, the disjointness, which, roughly speaking, is the number of mostly non-overlapping representatives of any given non-trivial logical Pauli operator. We use the disjointness to prove that transversal gates on error-detecting stabilizer codes are necessarily in a finite level of the Clifford hierarchy. We also apply our techniques to topological code families to find similar bounds on the level of the hierarchy attainable by constant depth circuits, regardless of their geometric locality. For instance, we can show that symmetric 2D surface codes cannot have non-local constant depth circuits for non-Clifford gates.

Friedel oscillations, impurity scattering and temperature dependence of resistivity in graphene

description: We show that Friedel oscillations (FO) in grapehene are strongly affected by the chirality of electrons in this material. In particular, the FO of the charge density around an impurity show a faster, $1/r^3$, decay than in conventional 2D electron systems and do not contribute to a linear temperature-dependent correction to the resistivity. In contrast, the FO of the exchange field which surrounds atomically sharp defects breaking the hexagonal symmetry of the honeycomb lattice lead to a negative linear T dependence of the resistivity.

subject: dairy farmers
subject: attitudes
subject: Northeast

description: A survey of northeastern dairy farmers showed most dairy farmers who either shifted their dairy cooperative membership or quit marketing their milk through a cooperative did so because of special assessments imposed by the cooperative. Most current members gave high marks to the way cooperative management performs. Members by and large also gave high ratings to their cooperative in such areas as obtaining good prices for milk, providing high-quality services, and keeping members informed on cooperative matters. Most members want their dairy cooperative to stick strictly to milk marketing and exclude associated services. Most members think dairy cooperatives must handle and process more members’ milk for greater efficiency; however, they do not think this should be done either through merger or more member financing to build additional facilities.
A Cloud Native Framework for Efficient Data Management in the Great Barrier Reef Conservation
Creators: name: Klein Salas, Eduardo
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: A fit-for-purpose Data Management System is critical to the success of the Reef2050 Monitoring and Reporting Program (RIMReP) and Great Barrier Reef (GBR) management. The complexity and maturity associated with +160 datasets from +60 providers impose a challenge in organising and delivering usable data and metadata to the user.

We developed a Cloud Native infrastructure capable of handling Analysis-Ready, Cloud-Optimised data using standards and open-source technologies. A set of data-agnostic harvesting pipelines collects data from the providers and transforms it into Zarr (gridded data) or geoParquet (tabular data) formats. The collections are exposed through a data API (pygeoapi) and metadata API (STAC-fastAPI). The data can be discovered and explored using keywords, geographical and temporal filters in the metadata catalogue browser or API. The catalogue provides a link to access the data through the data API, the collection's URI in an S3 bucket for direct access, and a link to the metadata point-of-truth.

It takes less than 20s to compute water temperature averages on a 30-year, +150 million rows dataset containing records for more than 300 sites in the GBR. Similarly, extracting a time series from a single pixel across +18,000 layers of satellite-derived sea surface temperature takes less than 12s when accessing the Zarr collection from an AWS S3 bucket.

Providing a unique access point that delivers the most relevant data for the GBR in standard formats eliminates "data fishing" and reduces data wrangling significantly. The proposed system will dramatically improve the creation and management of decision support systems.
Upper bound on the Abelian gauge coupling from asymptotic safety

description: We explore the impact of asymptotically safe quantum gravity on the Abelian gauge coupling in a model including a charged scalar, confirming indications that asymptotically safe quantum fluctuations of gravity could trigger a power-law running towards a free fixed point for the gauge coupling above the Planck scale. Simultaneously, quantum gravity fluctuations balance against matter fluctuations to generate an interacting fixed point, which acts as a boundary of the basin of attraction of the free fixed point. This enforces an upper bound on the infrared value of the Abelian gauge coupling. In the regime of gravity couplings which in our approximation also allows for a prediction of the top quark and Higgs mass close to the experimental value [1], we obtain an upper bound approximately 35% above the infrared value of the hypercharge coupling in the Standard Model.

Valley Splitting Theory of SiGe/Si/SiGe Quantum Wells

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2006
Subjects: subject: Materials Science (cond-mat.mtrl-sci)

description: We present an effective mass theory for SiGe/Si/SiGe quantum wells, with an emphasis on calculating the valley splitting. The theory introduces a valley coupling parameter, $v_v$, which encapsulates the physics of the quantum well interface. The new effective mass parameter is computed by means of a tight binding theory. The resulting formalism provides rather simple analytical results for several geometries of interest, including a finite square well, a quantum well in an electric field, and a modulation doped two-dimensional electron gas. Of particular importance is the problem of a quantum well in a magnetic field, grown on a miscut substrate. The latter may pose a numerical challenge for atomistic techniques like tight-binding, because of its two-dimensional nature. In the effective mass theory, however, the results are straightforward and analytical. We compare our effective mass results with those of the tight binding theory, obtaining excellent agreement.

description: We consider the problem of performing predecessor searches in a bounded universe while achieving query times that depend on the distribution of queries. We obtain several data structures with various properties: in particular, we give data structures that achieve expected query times logarithmic in the entropy of the distribution of queries but with space bounded in terms of universe size, as well as data structures that use only linear space but with query times that are higher (but still sublinear) functions of the entropy. For these structures, the distribution is assumed to be known. We also consider individual query times on universe elements with general weights, as well as the case when the distribution is not known in advance.

description: The imprint of neutrino oscillations on the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) anisotropy and polarization power spectra is evaluated in a $Λ$CHDM model with two active neutrino flavors, consistent with the structure formation models and the atmospheric neutrino oscillations data.

description: Iterative projection algorithms are successfully being used as a substitute of lenses to recombine, numerically rather than optically, light scattered by illuminated objects. Images obtained computationally allow aberration-free diffraction-limited imaging and the possibility of using radiation for which no lenses exist. The challenge of this imaging technique is transfered from the lenses to the algorithms. We evaluate these new computational ``instruments'' developed for the phase retrieval problem, and discuss acceleration strategies.

Leapfrogging to the Future: Transforming Otago University's Research Landscape
Creators: name: Milnes, John
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: In 2021 Otago University launched the ORIS project to provide a new Research Management System. In 2022 Otago also launched the Research Outputs Management project to replace its outdated current institutional digital repository.
These two projects brought into high relief how outdated Otago's research systems are, but also enabled Otago to forge ahead of early adopters to embrace the benefits of data-driven decision making. Internal and external drivers have provided the opportunity to demonstrate what can be achieved by using the data captured as part of research administration.
This presentation will encompass three discrete areas.
1. The ORIS journey. This will be a joint presentation with Brisbane-based Endpoint IQ. The talk will chart how ORIS developed, selection of EPIQ, and our journey together. It will also examine the project's many benefits.
2. A case study in the use of research data to help guide senior leadership decision making. It will focus on Otago's desire to identify its research strengths to better target funders. The case study sees the linkage of data from research administration, Library, outputs, and commercialisation. It will explain why this approach was taken, the dataset's advantages and disadvantages, and how it is used.
3. Digital transformation of the University's research landscape. This talk will focus on Otago as a case study where the initial decisions to replace two systems surfaced the need for an integrated research digital domain plan. It will chart our journey digital transformation in Research domain that is focusing on people, processes, and technology.
