description: We present a new `supercalibration' technique for measuring systematic distortions in the wavelength scales of high resolution spectrographs. By comparing spectra of `solar twin' stars or asteroids with a reference laboratory solar spectrum, distortions in the standard thorium--argon calibration can be tracked with $\sim$10 m s$^{-1}$ precision over the entire optical wavelength range on scales of both echelle orders ($\sim$50--100 Å) and entire spectrographs arms ($\sim$1000--3000 Å). Using archival spectra from the past 20 years we have probed the supercalibration history of the VLT--UVES and Keck--HIRES spectrographs. We find that systematic errors in their wavelength scales are ubiquitous and substantial, with long-range distortions varying between typically $\pm$200 m s$^{-1}$ per 1000 Å. We apply a simple model of these distortions to simulated spectra that characterize the large UVES and HIRES quasar samples which previously indicated possible evidence for cosmological variations in the fine-structure constant, $α$. The spurious deviations in $α$ produced by the model closely match important aspects of the VLT--UVES quasar results at all redshifts and partially explain the HIRES results, though not self-consistently at all redshifts. That is, the apparent ubiquity, size and general characteristics of the distortions are capable of significantly weakening the evidence for variations in $α$ from quasar absorption lines.

Code optimization, frozen glassy phase and improved decoding algorithms for low-density parity-check codes

description: The statistical physics properties of low-density parity-check codes for the binary symmetric channel are investigated as a spin glass problem with multi-spin interactions and quenched random fields by the cavity method. By evaluating the entropy function at the Nishimori temperature, we find that irregular constructions with heterogeneous degree distribution of check (bit) nodes have higher decoding thresholds compared to regular counterparts with homogeneous degree distribution. We also show that the instability of the mean-field calculation takes place only after the entropy crisis, suggesting the presence of a frozen glassy phase at low temperatures. When no prior knowledge of channel noise is assumed (searching for the ground state), we find that a reinforced strategy on normal belief propagation will boost the decoding threshold to a higher value than the normal belief propagation. This value is close to the dynamical transition where all local search heuristics fail to identify the true message (codeword or the ferromagnetic state). After the dynamical transition, the number of metastable states with larger energy density (than the ferromagnetic state) becomes exponentially numerous. When the noise level of the transmission channel approaches the static transition point, there starts to exist exponentially numerous codewords sharing the identical ferromagnetic energy.

Many-faced cells and many-edged faces in 3D Poisson-Voronoi tessellations

description: Motivated by recent new Monte Carlo data we investigate a heuristic asymptotic theory that applies to n-faced 3D Poisson-Voronoi cells in the limit of large n. We show how this theory may be extended to n-edged cell faces. It predicts the leading order large-n behavior of the average volume and surface area of the n-faced cell, and of the average area and perimeter of the n-edged face. Such a face is shown to be surrounded by a toroidal region of volume n/lambda (with lambda the seed density) that is void of seeds. Two neighboring cells sharing an n-edged face are found to have their seeds at a typical distance that scales as n^{-1/6} and whose probability law we determine. We present a new data set of 4*10^9 Monte Carlo generated 3D Poisson-Voronoi cells, larger than any before. Full compatibility is found between the Monte Carlo data and the theory. Deviations from the asymptotic predictions are explained in terms of subleading corrections whose powers in n we estimate from the data.

description: In the framework of the soft-wall model of AdS/QCD we calculated the $ρ$ meson nucleon coupling constant. Bulk-to boundary propagators for the free vector and spinor fields are presented, whose boundary values correspond to $ρ$ meson and to the nucleon respectively. The interaction Lagrangian between these fields is written in the bulk of AdS space and includes magnetic type interactions as well. Using the AdS/CFT correspondence from the bulk interaction action we derived the $g_{ρNN}$ coupling constant in the boundary QCD. We found that the soft-wall model result for the $g_{ρNN}$ constant is more close to empirical values than the one obtained in the hard-wall model.

description: The Weyl semimetal surface is modeled by applying the Bogolyubov boundary conditions, in which the quasiparticles have an infinite Dirac mass outside the semimetal. For a Weyl semimetal shaped as a slab of finite thickness, we derive an exact spectral equation for the quasiparticle states and obtain the spectrum of the bulk as well as surface Fermi arc modes. We also show that, in the presence of the magnetic field, the separation between Weyl nodes in momentum space and the length of the Fermi arcs in the reciprocal space are affected by the interactions. As a result, we find that the period of oscillations of the density of states related to closed magnetic orbits involving Fermi arcs has a nontrivial dependence on the orientation of the magnetic field projection in the plane of the semimetal surface. We conclude that the momentum space separation between Weyl nodes and its modification due the interaction effects in the magnetic field can be measured in the experimental studies of quantum oscillations.

Flux Phase in Bilayer $t-J$ Model

description: In order to study the time-reversal symmetry (${\cal T}$) breaking near a (110) surface of a high-$T_C$ cuprate YBCO, we consider the flux phase in a bilayer $t-J$ model. Although the stable solution in the bulk is the $d_{x^2-y-2}$-wave superconducting (SC) state, free energy of the flux phase is close to it, and thus the flux phase may occur when the SC order is disturbed by inhomogeneity, e.g., surface or impurity. It is found that, depending on the doping rate, the flux phase in which spontaneous magnetic fields in two layers have opposite signs may be stabilized. This may lead to a surface state with local ${\cal T}$ violation but without local magnetic field.

description: The jet fragmentation function of inclusive jets with transverse momentum pt above 100 GeV in PbPb collisions has been measured using reconstructed charged particles with pt above 1 GeV in a cone of radius 0.3 around the jet axis. A data sample of PbPb collisions collected in 2011 at a nucleon-nucleon center-of-mass energy of sqrt(s[NN]) = 2.76 TeV corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 150 inverse microbarns is used. The results for PbPb collisions as a function of collision centrality and jet transverse momentum are compared to reference distributions based on pp data collected at the same center-of-mass energy in 2013, with an integrated luminosity of 5.3 inverse picobarns. A centrality-dependent modification of the fragmentation function is found. For the most central collisions, a significant enhancement is observed in the PbPb / pp fragmentation function ratio for charged particles with pt less than 3 GeV. This enhancement is observed for all jet pt bins studied.

description: Excerpts from the report Summary: The economy of Appalachia in the 1950's experienced acute adjustments. Two structurally important basic industries--agriculture and mining--contracted much more rapidly in the region than in the Nation. Manufacturing, trade, services, and other activities expanded, but at less than national rates. The net effect was that growth in total employment and population in Appalachia lagged considerably behind the Nation. High residual proportions of the unemployed and the lower income in 1960 in the region than in the Nation were a byproduct of the lag in growth. Small-center rural areas typically had sizable losses in both total employment and population. In 1960, rates of unemployment and proportions of families with low incomes were much higher in small- than in large-center areas of the region. The relative and perhaps absolute needs of small-center areas for some type of economic adjustment were greater than those of the large center areas.

description: The mechanical and electronic properties of nanoscale materials are studied using the molecular dynamics (MD) and lattice Green's function (LGF) methods. The strength and fracture properties are investigated for the nanoscale materials, quantum wires and carbon related materials like graphenes and nanotubes using the first principles O(N) molecular dynamics method. We compare the mechanical properties of nanoscale materials with those of the corresponding bulk-size materials. For the study of the defect properties in the nanocrystals like graphene sheets and nanographites, we also use the LGF method, which allows us to perform the analytic and accurate calculations. We calculate the Green function for the defective lattice, with dislocation and cracks, by solving the Dyson equation, appropriate for absolute zero temperature. After the lattice Green functions of the absolute zero temperature have been determined, the lattice parameters and interatomic force constants are adjusted to fit to materials at finite temperature T, using the statistical moment method.

description: In this letter we address the issue of generating appropriate tiny neutrino masses within the framework of a particular $SU(3)_{c}\otimes SU(3)_{L}\otimes U(1)_{X}$ gauge model by adding three singlet exotic Majorana neutrinos to the ones included in the three lepton triplet representations. The theoretical device is the general method of treating gauge models with high symmetries $SU(3)_{c}\otimes SU(N)_{L}\otimes U(1)_{X}$ proposed by Cotăescu more than a decade ago. When it is worked-out in the 3-3-1 model it supplies a unique free parameter ($a$) to be tuned in order to get a realistic mass spectrum for both the boson and charged-fermion sectors. Its most appealing feature (of special interest here) is that it contains all the needed ingredients to realize the inverse seesaw mechanism for neutrinos. The mandatory couplings leading to the lepton number soft violation in pure Majorana terms result without invoking any element outside the model (such as GUT scales, as one usually does in the literature). The overall breaking scale in this particular model can be set around 1 TeV so its phenomenology is quite testable at present facilities.

description: Excerpts from the report Preface: Local tax concessions and public industrial financing programs are gaining popular acceptance as ways State and local governments can promote economic development. They are of special interest as catalysts for development in rural areas where small new firms may need financial assistance. If effective means of promoting development of rural areas are to be found, information on the effects of these programs is badly needed. Studies of the effects of these programs on local industrial development have been reported in a wide variety of publications, many of which are not readily available either to research workers or to the general public. Although some of the studies cited were made some time ago, these studies are still the basic sources of information on the effects of taxation on industrialization for planners and economists. This report brings together and summarizes the results and conclusions of a number of these studies. The report, however, offers no judgments-- other than those contained in the studies cited--about the usefulness of either tax incentives or industrial financing programs for promoting local industrial development.

description: We analyze the equilibration process between two either fermionic or bosonic reservoirs containing ultracold atoms with a fixed total number of particles that are weakly connected via a few-level quantum system. We allow for both the temperatures and particle densities of the reservoirs to evolve in time. Subsequently, linearizing the resulting equations enables us to characterize the equilibration process and its time scales in terms of equilibrium reservoir properties and linear-response transport coefficients. Additionally, we investigate the use of such a device as particle transistor or particle capacitor and analyze its efficiency.

description: The recent PSI Lamb shift experiment and the controversy about proton size revived the interest in measuring the hyperfine splitting in muonic hydrogen as an alternative possibility for comparing ordinary and muonic hydrogen spectroscopy data on proton electromagnetic structure. This measurement critically depends on the energy dependence of the muon transfer rate to heavier gases in the epithermal range. The available data provide only qualitative information, and the theoretical predictions have not been verified. We propose a new method by measurements of the transfer rate in thermalized target at different temperatures, estimate its accuracy and investigate the optimal experimental conditions.

No evidence for new narrow states is found, and upper limits are set on the product of the $X_b$ cross section and branching fraction, relative to those of the $Υ(2 \rm S)$, at the 95% confidence level using the CL$_S$ approach. These limits range from 0.8% to 4.0%, depending on mass. For masses above 10.1 GeV, the expected upper limits from this analysis are the most restrictive to date. Searches for production of the $Υ(1^3 \rm{D}$$_J)$, $Υ(10860)$, and $Υ(11020)$ states also reveal no significant signals.

description: A realistic quantum many-body system, characterized by a generic microscopic Hamiltonian, is accessible only through approximation methods. The mean field theories, as the simplest practices of approximation methods, commonly serve as a powerful tool, but unfortunately often violate the symmetry of the Hamiltonian. The conventional BCS theory, as an excellent mean field approach, violates the particle number conservation and completely erases quantumness characterized by concurrence and quantum discord between different modes. We restore the symmetry by using the projected BCS theory and the exact numerical solution and find that the lost quantumness is synchronously reestablished. We show that while entanglement remains unchanged with the particle numbers, quantum discord behaves as an extensive quantity with respect to the system size. Surprisingly, discord is hardly dependent on the interaction strengths. The new feature of discord offers promising applications in modern quantum technologies.

description: The $D^0$ decay into $K^0_s$ and a scalar resonance, $f_0(500)$, $f_0(980)$, $a_0(980)$, is studied obtaining the scalar resonances from final state interaction of a pair of mesons produced in a first step in the $D^0$ decay into $K^0_s$ and the pair of pseudoscalar mesons. This weak decay is very appropriate for this kind of study because it allows to produce the three resonances in the same decay in a process that is Cabibbo allowed, hence the rates obtained are large compared to those of $\bar{B}^0$ decays into $J/ψ$ and a scalar meson that have at least one Cabibbo suppressed vertex. Concretely the $a_0(980)$ production is Cabibbo allowed here, while it cannot be seen in the $\bar{B}^0_s$ decay into $J/ψa_0(980)$ and is doubly Cabibbo suppressed in the $\bar{B}^0$ decay into $J/ψa_0(980)$ and has not been identified there. The fact that the three resonances can be seen in the same reaction, because there is no isospin conservation in the weak decays, offers a unique opportunity to test the ideas of the chiral unitary approach where these resonances are produced from the interaction of pairs of pseudoscalar mesons.

description: We prepare a maximally entangled state of two ions and couple both ions to the mode of an optical cavity. The phase of the entangled state determines the collective interaction of the ions with the cavity mode, that is, whether the emission of a single photon into the cavity is suppressed or enhanced. By adjusting this phase, we tune the ion--cavity system from sub- to superradiance. We then encode a single qubit in the two-ion superradiant state and show that this encoding enhances the transfer of quantum information onto a photon.

description: We present a new simulation scheme which allows an efficient sampling of reconfigurable supramolecular structures made of polymeric constructs functionalized by reactive binding sites. The algorithm is based on the configurational bias scheme of Siepmann and Frenkel and is powered by the possibility of changing the topology of the supramolecular network by a non-local Monte Carlo algorithm. Such plan is accomplished by a multi-scale modelling that merges coarse-grained simulations, describing the typical polymer conformations, with experimental results accounting for free energy terms involved in the reactions of the active sites. We test the new algorithm for a system of DNA coated colloids for which we compute the hybridisation free energy cost associated to the binding of tethered single stranded DNAs terminated by short sequences of complementary nucleotides. In order to demonstrate the versatility of our method, we also consider polymers functionalized by receptors that bind a surface decorated by ligands. In particular we compute the density of states of adsorbed polymers as a function of the number of ligand-receptor complexes formed. Such a quantity can be used to study the conformational properties of adsorbed polymers useful when engineering adsorption with tailored properties. We successfully compare the results with the predictions of a mean field theory. We believe that the proposed method will be a useful tool to investigate supramolecular structures resulting from direct interactions between functionalized polymers for which efficient numerical methodologies of investigation are still lacking.

description: The emergence of New Delhi metallo-beta-lactamase-1 (NDM-1) has conferred enteric bacteria resistance to almost all beta-lactam antibiotics. Its capability of horizontal transfer through plasmids, amongst humans, animal reservoirs and the environment, has added up to the totality of antimicrobial resistance control, animal husbandry and food safety. Thus far, there have been no effective drugs for neutralizing NDM-1. This study explores the structure-activity relationship of NDM-1 inhibitors. IC50 values of NDM-1 inhibitors were compiled from both the ChEMBL database and literature. After curation, a final set of 686 inhibitors were used for machine learning model building using the random forest algorithm against 12 sets of molecular fingerprints. Benchmark results indicated that the KlekotaRothCount fingerprint provided the best overall performance with an accuracy of 0.978 and 0.778 for the training and testing set, respectively. Model interpretation revealed that nitrogen-containing features (KRFPC 4080, KRFPC 3882, KRFPC 677, KRFPC 3608, KRFPC 3750, KRFPC 4287 and KRFPC 3943), sulfur-containing substructures (KRFPC 2855 and KRFPC 4843), aromatic features (KRFPC 1566, KRFPC 1564, KRFPC 1642, KRFPC 3608, KRFPC 4287 and KRFPC 3943), carbonyl features (KRFPC 1193 and KRFPC 3025), aliphatic features (KRFPC 2975, KRFPC 297, KRFPC 3224 and KRFPC 669) are features contributing to NDM-1 inhibitory activity. It is anticipated that findings from this study would help facilitate the drug discovery of NDM-1 inhibitors by providing guidelines for further lead optimization.

description: We use an exact solution of the relaxation-time Boltzmann equation in a uniform AC electric field to describe the nonlinear optical response of graphene in the terahertz (THz). The cases of monolayer, bilayer and ABA-stacked trilayer graphene are considered, and the monolayer species is shown to be the most appropriate one to exploit the nonlinear free electron response. We find that a single layer of monolayer graphene shows an optical bistability in the THz range, within the electromagnetic power range attainable in practice. The current associated with the third harmonic generation is also computed.

description: Research on lung cancer automatic detection using deep learning algorithms has achieved good results but, due to the complexity of tumor edge features and possible changes in tumor positions, it is still a great challenge to diagnose patients with lung tumors based on computed tomography (CT) images. In order to solve the problem of scales and meet the requirements of real-time detection, an efficient one-stage model for automatic lung tumor detection in CT Images, called ELCT-YOLO, is presented in this paper. Instead of deepening the backbone or relying on a complex feature fusion network, ELCT-YOLO uses a specially designed neck structure, which is suitable to enhance the multi-scale representation ability of the entire feature layer. At the same time, in order to solve the problem of lacking a receptive field after decoupling, the proposed model uses a novel Cascaded Refinement Scheme (CRS), composed of two different types of receptive field enhancement modules (RFEMs), which enables expanding the effective receptive field and aggregate multi-scale context information, thus improving the tumor detection performance of the model. The experimental results show that the proposed ELCT-YOLO model has strong ability in expressing multi-scale information and good robustness in detecting lung tumors of various sizes.

description: By means of a relativistic microscopic approach we calculate the expansion velocity of bubbles generated during a first-order electroweak phase transition. In particular, we use the gradient expansion of the Kadanoff-Baym equations to set up the fluid system. This turns out to be equivalent to the one found in the semi-classical approach in the non-relativistic limit. Finally, by including hydrodynamic deflagration effects and solving the Higgs equations of motion in the fluid, we determine velocity and thickness of the bubble walls. Our findings are compared with phenomenological models of wall velocities. As illustrative examples, we apply these results to three theories providing first-order phase transitions with a particle content in the thermal plasma that resembles the Standard Model.

description: We consider Ge/Si core/shell nanowires with hole states coupled to an $s$-wave superconductor in the presence of electric and magnetic fields. We employ a microscopic model that takes into account material-specific details of the band structure such as strong and electrically tunable Rashba-type spin-orbit interaction and $g$ factor anisotropy for the holes. In addition, the proximity-induced superconductivity Hamiltonian is derived starting from a microscopic model. In the topological phase, the nanowires host Majorana fermions with localization lengths that depend strongly on both the magnetic and electric fields. We identify the optimal regime in terms of the directions and magnitudes of the fields in which the Majorana fermions are the most localized at the nanowire ends. In short nanowires, the Majorana fermions hybridize and form a subgap fermion whose energy is split away from zero and oscillates as a function of the applied fields. The period of these oscillations could be used to measure the dependence of the spin-orbit interaction on the applied electric field and the $g$ factor anisotropy.

description: Excerpts from the report Highlights: Fort Leonard Wood has a direct economic impact on nearly 50,000 people and indirectly affects approximately the same number. The people working or living on the Fort and hence directly affected by Government spending total over 35,000 in the military service, 14,000 civilian employees of the Department of the Army, and about 8,000 military dependents. More difficult to assess is the impact which a public installation such as the Fort has on various segments of the private and nonmilitary public sectors of the local economy. The Fort has little direct impact on the agricultural economy, as little of the agricultural production of the immediate area is consumed at the Fort. However, employment created by the Fort enables some farmers to become part-time farmers and hold full or part-time jobs off the farm. Employment in the agricultural industry has dropped in all counties adjacent to the Fort.

description: The accuracy of three different sets of Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov calculations of nuclear binding energies is systematically evaluated. To emphasize minor fluctuations, a second order, four-point mass relation, which almost completely eliminates smooth aspects of the binding energy, is introduced. Applying this mass relation yields more scattered results for the calculated binding energies. By examining the Gaussian distributions of the non-smooth aspects which remain, structural differences can be detected between measured and calculated binding energies. Substructures in regions of rapidly changing deformation, specifically around $(N,Z)=(60,40)$ and $(90,60)$, are clearly seen for the measured values, but are missing from the calculations. A similar three-point mass relation is used to emphasize odd-even effects. A clear decrease with neutron excess is seen continuing outside the experimentally known region for the calculations.

Phenomenology of SUSY with General Flavour Violation

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

description: We discuss the consequences of relaxing the Minimal Flavour Violation assumption in the up-squark sector on the phenomenology of SUSY models. We study the impact of the off-diagonal entries in the soft SUSY-breaking matrices on the mass of the lightest Higgs scalar and we derive the approximate analytical formulae that quantify this effect. We show that $m_h$ can be enhanced by up to 13-14 GeV in the case of the phenomenological MSSM with the inverted hierarchy of masses in the squark sector and zero stop mixing, and up to 4-5 GeV in GUT-constrained scenarios where the magnitude of the enhancement is mitigated by renormalization group effects. We also perform a global analysis of an inverted hierarchy GFV scenario, taking into account the experimental bounds from the measurements of relic density, EW precision observables and B-physics. We show that the allowed parameter space of the model is strongly constrained by $m_W$, $\sin^2θ_{eff}$ and $BR(B_s \to μ^+μ^-)$, requiring $m_0(3)$<1500 GeV and $m_{1/2}$<1800 GeV, as well as a large non-zero (2,3) entry in the up-squark trilinear matrix.
