description: We study a generalization of the XY model with an additional nematic-like term through extensive numerical simulations and finite-size techniques, both in two and three dimensions. While the original model favors local alignment, the extra term induces angles of $2π/q$ between neighboring spins. We focus here on the $q=8$ case (while presenting new results for other values of $q$ as well) whose phase diagram is much richer than the well known $q=2$ case. In particular, the model presents not only continuous, standard transitions between Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless (BKT) phases as in $q=2$, but also infinite order transitions involving intermediate, competition driven phases absent for $q=2$ and 3. Besides presenting multiple transitions, our results show that having vortices decoupling at a transition is not a suficient condition for it to be of BKT type.

Evidence for the Secondary Emission as the Origin of Hard Spectra in TeV Blazars

Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena (astro-ph.HE)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We develop a model for a possible origin of hard very high energy spectra from a distant blazar. In the model, both the primary photons produced in the source and secondary photons produced outside the source contribute to the observed high energy $γ$-rays emission. That is, the primary photons are produced in the source through the synchrotron self-Compton (SSC) process, and the secondary photons are produced outside the source through high energy protons interaction with the background photons along the line of sight. We apply the model to a characteristic case was the very high energy (VHE) $γ$-ray emissions in distant blazar 1ES 1101-232. Assuming a suitable electron and proton spectra, we obtain excellent fits to observed spectra of distant blazar 1ES 1101-232. This indicated that the surprisingly low attenuation of high energy $γ$-rays, especially for the shape of the very high energy $γ$-rays tail of the observed spectra, can be explained by secondary $γ$-rays produced in interactions of cosmic-ray protons with background photons in the intergalactic space.

description: We study boundary renormalization group flows between boundary conformal field theories in $1+1$ dimensions using methods of quantum information theory. We define an entropic $g$-function for theories with impurities in terms of the relative entanglement entropy, and we prove that this $g$-function decreases along boundary renormalization group flows. This entropic $g$-theorem is valid at zero temperature, and is independent from the $g$-theorem based on the thermal partition function. We also discuss the mutual information in boundary RG flows, and how it encodes the correlations between the impurity and bulk degrees of freedom. Our results provide a quantum-information understanding of (boundary) RG flow as increase of distinguishability between the UV fixed point and the theory along the RG flow.

description: Creating arbitrary light patterns finds applications in various domains including lithography, beam shaping, metrology, sensing and imaging. We study the formation of high-contrast light patterns that are obtained by transmission through an ordered optical element based on self-imaging.By applying the phase-space method, we explain phenomena such as the Talbot and the angular Talbot effects. We show that the image contrast is maximum when the source is either a plane wave or a point source, and it has a minimum for a source with finite spatial extent. We compare these regimes and address some of their fundamental differences. Specifically, we prove that increasing the source divergence reduces the contrast for the plane wave illumination but increases it for the point source. Also, we show that to achieve high contrast with a point source, tuning the source size and its distance to the element is crucial.We furthermore indicate and explore the possibility of realizing highly complex light patterns by using a periodic transmission element. These patterns can have more spots in the far field than the number of diffraction orders of the periodic element. We predict that the ultimate image contrast is smaller for a point source compared to a plane wave. Our simulations confirm that the smallest achievable spot size in the image is imposed by diffraction regardless of the imaging regime. Our research can be applied to similar domains e.g. quantum systems.

Pharmaceuticals Found in Chicago Waterways Originating From Treated Wastewater
Creators: name: Kearney, Hannah E
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2023

description: While it was originally hypothesized that drugs and contaminants that were not fully removed from treated wastewater would degrade in the water over time and disperse throughout the larger bodies of water, it has been discovered that this is not accurate. While the concentration of drugs present in the treated wastewater likely greatly decrease due to the large volume of water they are being introduced into, it does not seem that they degrade over time. Conducted studies have shown that not only can these drugs remain for many years in the water and sediment, but can be found in the aquatic life. A study was conducted regarding a city that drains treated wastewater into Lake Michigan. This study found that the drugs could be found in detectable levels up to two miles away from the chosen effluent site. With the possibility that many cities are draining their contaminated wastewater into the lake in hopes of further cleaning and disposing of the water, there could be many drugs present. One of the largest cities in the country lies along the shore of Lake Michigan that has yet to be studied regarding their possible contribution to the solution of the lake with drugs. This is the city of Chicago in the state of Illinois. Chicago, in efforts to reduce pollution of the lake, reversed the flow of the Chicago River to direct the river water away from the lake. So while Chicago does not directly drain into Lake Michigan, contaminants from nearby cities could have dispersed all the way to the Chicago shores. To prevent possible contamination of the lake from the wastewater, Chicago drains effluent wastewater into nearby rivers. Samples from the Chicago River, DesPlaines River, and Lake Michigan were collected near wastewater treatment plants. Samples were collected every half of a mile up to two miles away from the treatment plant. Three samples were collected at each sampling location. Each sample was then analyzed using LC-QQQ for drugs. Both drug screenings and THC quantitation screenings were performed on the samples collected. While there was little THC found, which indicates that the treatment methods currently utilized effectively remove the cannabinoid metabolite, other drugs were confirmatively identified. Many of the drugs detected were commonly prescribed drugs including anti-depressants and mood stabilizers.bThis indicates that many people are taking these drugs within the area. This leads to a high quantity of the drug being present in the wastewater, which makes it more difficult to fully remove. Other drugs taken as illicit, recreational drugs were also found within the some of the samples. These results indicate that while some of the drugs are being removed, drugs can remain in large enough amounts to be detectable.

description: We study a possible superconductivity in quasiperiodic systems, by portraying the issue within the attractive Hubbard model on a Penrose lattice. Applying a real-space dynamical mean-field theory to the model consisting of 4181 sites, we find a superconducting phase at low temperatures. Reflecting the nonperiodicity of the Penrose lattice, the superconducting state exhibits an inhomogeneity. According to the type of the inhomogeneity, the superconducting phase is categorized into three different regions which cross over each other. Among them, the weak-coupling region exhibits spatially extended Cooper pairs, which are nevertheless distinct from the conventional pairing of two electrons with opposite momenta.

description: The fully self-consistent GW approximation is an established method for electronic structure calculations. Its most serious deficiency is known to be an incorrect prediction of the dielectric response. In this work we examine the GW approximation for the homogeneous electron gas and find that problems with the dielectric response are solved by enforcing the particle-number conservation law in the polarization function. Previously reported data for the ground-state energy were plainly contradicting each other well outside of reported error bounds. Some of these results created a false impression of how accurate the fully self-consistent GW approximation is. We resolve this controversy by confirming that only Ref. [15] was reporting correct energy data, and present values for other key Fermi-liquid properties.
Decentralized Clustering and Linking by Networked Agents

description: We consider the problem of decentralized clustering and estimation over multi-task networks, where agents infer and track different models of interest. The agents do not know beforehand which model is generating their own data. They also do not know which agents in their neighborhood belong to the same cluster. We propose a decentralized clustering algorithm aimed at identifying and forming clusters of agents of similar objectives, and at guiding cooperation to enhance the inference performance. One key feature of the proposed technique is the integration of the learning and clustering tasks into a single strategy. We analyze the performance of the procedure and show that the error probabilities of types I and II decay exponentially to zero with the step-size parameter. While links between agents following different objectives are ignored in the clustering process, we nevertheless show how to exploit these links to relay critical information across the network for enhanced performance. Simulation results illustrate the performance of the proposed method in comparison to other useful techniques.

Here, the continuum energy density is given by the Cauchy-Born rule. The models considered allow for general finite range interactions. To control the stability of large deformations we also prove a new atomistic Gårding inequality.

Computational Study of Inertial Migration of Prolate Particles in a Straight Rectangular Channel
Creators: name: Lauricella, Giuseppe
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2023

description: Inertial migration of spherical particles has been investigated extensively using experiments, theory, and computational modeling. Yet, a systematic investigation of the effect of particle shape on inertial migration is still lacking. Herein, we numerically mapped the migration dy- namics of a prolate particle in a straight rectangular microchannel using smoothed particles hydrodynamics (SPH), at moderate Reynolds number flows. After validations, we applied our model to 2:1 and 3:1 shape aspect ratio particles at multiple confinement ratios. Their effects on the final focusing position, rotational behavior, and transitional dynamics were studied. In addition to the commonly reported tumbling motion, for the first time, we identified a new logrolling behavior of a prolate ellipsoidal particle in the confined channel. This new behavior occurs when the confinement ratio is above a threshold value of K = 0.72. Microfluidic experi- ments using cell aggregates with similar shape aspect ratio and confinement ratio confirmed this new predicted logrolling motion. We also found that the same particle can undergo different rotational modes, including kayaking behavior, depending on its initial cross-sectional position and orientation. Furthermore, we examined the migration speed, angular velocity, and rotation period, as well as their dependence on both particle shape aspect ratio and confinement ratio. The computational model we developed in the present work can be extended to study other shapes, channel geometries, and flow conditions. Our findings are especially relevant to the applications where particle shape and alignment are used for sorting and analysis, such as the use of barcoded particles for biochemical assays through optical reading, or the shape-based enrichment of microalgae, bacteria, and chromosomes.

Analysis of the experimental data enables us to extract the non-coherent background contribution for each species, and indicates the need for a full density matrix treatment of the problem.

Da die Existenz klassischer Lösungen des Anfangs- und Randwertproblems von den Anfangswerten und Eintrittstemperaturen abhängt, werden Bedingungen für die Existenz solcher klassischer Lösungen formuliert. Da diese Bedingungen in der Regel nicht erfüllt sein werden, wird eine verallgemeinerte Formulierung von Lösungen entwickelt. Diese verallgemeinerte Formulierung benötigt nur die Stetigkeit einer Lösung. Existenz und Eindeutigkeit solcher verallgemeinerter Lösungen werden bewiesen mit Hilfe eines geeigneten Integral-Operators und des Banachschen Fixpunktsatzes.

description: Density functional theory has been an essential analysis tool for both theoretical and experimental chemists since accurate hybrid functionals were developed. Here we propose a local hybrid method derived from the optimized effective potential (OEP) method and compare its distinct features with conventional nonlocal ones from the Hartree-Fock (HF) exchange operator. Both are formally exact for ground states and thus show similar accuracy for atomization energies and reaction barrier heights. For excited states, the local version yields virtual orbitals with N-electron character, while those of the nonlocal version have mixed characters between N- and (N+1)-electron orbitals. As a result, the orbital energy gaps from the former well approximate excitation energies with a small mean absolute error (MAE = 0.40 eV) for the Caricato benchmark set. The correction from time-dependent density functional theory with a simple local density approximation kernel further improves its accuracy by incorporating multi-configurational effects, resulting in the total MAE of 0.27 eV that outperforms conventional functionals except for MN15.

Adolescent Cigarette Smoking, Emotion Regulation, and Arrest
Creators: name: Rosenblum, Marika
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2023

description: Background and Aims: Arrest during adolescence is associated with myriad negative outcomes, such as increased likelihood of future arrest and decreased likelihood of graduating high school. The goal of this study was to examine whether cigarette use and negative mood regulation during adolescence are associated with likelihood of arrest at two time points: mid adolescence (~age 15) and young adulthood (~age 22). Though alcohol and cannabis use are well established risk factors for arrest during adolescence, cigarette use is often ignored or combined with other substance use. Methods: Participants were recruited from 9th and 10th graders from 16 high schools in the greater Chicago area and were oversampled for ever-smoking a cigarette. Measures, assessed at baseline and at year 7, included past 30 day use of cigarettes, alcohol, and cannabis; the Negative Mood Regulation scale (NMR); the Adolescent Alcohol and Drug Involvement Scale (AADIS); and GPA at baseline. Results: Over a third of participants (36.0%, N = 453) reported arrest at some point during this study (N = 185 arrested at baseline; N = 268 arrested between baseline and year 7). Compared to white participants, participants who identified as Black, Hispanic, and other race/ethnicity were arrested at higher rates than whites (19.2%, 19.4%, 15.2%, and 12.5% respectively at baseline; 34.1%, 28.0%, 33.9%, and 22.1% respectively between baseline and year 7). Arrest at baseline was significantly associated with being male (p < .001, OR = 3.15), having a lower GPA (M = 3.38, SD = 0.76), and reporting alcohol use (p < .001, OR = 2.78), cannabis use (p < .001, OR = 3.10), and cigarette use (p < .001, OR = 2.59). Arrest between baseline and year 7 was associated with being male (p < .001, OR = 2.36), having a lower GPA (M = 3.52, SD = 0.72), and reporting alcohol use (p < .001, OR = 2.27), cannabis use (p < .001, OR = 2.57), and cigarette use (p < .001, OR = 2.13). Emotion regulation (NMR Score) was not significantly associated with arrest at either time point (p = 0.71 at baseline; p = 0.36 between baseline and year 7). Conclusions: Taken together, findings suggest that race, gender, grade point average (GPA), and substance use are strong independent prospective predictors of arrest at both age 15 and age 22. Results underscore the need for substance use prevention efforts among high school students from both a public health and juvenile justice perspective.
Computation of NLO Processes Involving Heavy Quarks Using Loop-Tree Duality

description: We present a new method to compute higher-order corrections to physical cross-sections, at Next-to-Leading Order and beyond. This method, based on the Loop Tree Duality, leads to locally integrable expressions in four dimensions. By introducing a physically motivated momentum mapping between the momenta involved in the real and the virtual contributions, infrared singularities naturally cancel at integrand level, without the need to introduce subtraction counter-terms. Ultraviolet singularities are dealt with by using dual representations of suitable counter-terms, with some subtleties regarding the self-energy contributions. As an example, we apply this method to compute the $1\to2$ decay rate in the context of a scalar toy model with massive particles.

description: Our goals within the inDICEs project are, first of all, to provide an in-depth overview of the IP legal framework which is relevant for the activities of CHIs. Secondly, we aim at delivering a comprehensive assessment of the current and upcoming framework for CHIs. Third, our ultimate goal is to evaluate whether the current framework impedes or enhances the CHIs’ activities in the Digital Single Market while providing recommendations to policy and lawmakers. Our two first deliverables focused on providing an overview - D2.1 ‘Mapping of the relevant European IP legal framework’ – and a comparative analysis in selected Member States - D2.2 ‘Legal comparative analysis for multi-level relationship involving CHIs’, of the current relevant IP rules that impact CHIs’ activities in the Digital Single Market. Both deliverables are embedded in Task 2.1: Comparative analysis of the applicable European IP legal framework to CHIs in the DSM. In these deliverables we review the IP provisions relevant for the activities of CHIs at the EU level and within the following jurisdictions: Belgium, France, Lithuania, Poland, Spain and Sweden. Special attention has been given to the recently adopted CDSM Directive, provisions of which are being currently implemented by EU Member States.

description: In the symmetric string fragmentation recipe adopted by PYTHIA for jet simulations, the transverse momenta of successive quarks are uncorrelated. This is a simplification but has no theoretical reason. Transverse momentum correlations are naturally expected, for instance, in a covariant multiperipheral model of quark hadronization. We propose a simple recipe of string fragmentation which lead to such correlations. The definition of the jet axis and its relation with the primordial transverse momentum of the quark is also discussed.

description: Background: Type II shell evolution has recently been identified as a microscopic cause for nuclear shape coexistence. Purpose: Establish a low-lying rotational band in 96-Zr. Methods: High-resolution inelastic electron scattering and a relative analysis of transition strengths are used. Results: The B(E2; 0_1^+ -> 2_2^+) value is measured and electromagnetic decay strengths of the secdond 2^+ state are deduced. Conclusions: Shape coexistence is established for 96-Zr. Type II shell evolution provides a systematic and quantitative mechanism to understand deformation at low excitation energies.

Nature of the soft ULX in NGC 247: super-Eddington outflow and transition between the supersoft and soft ultraluminous regimes

description: We report on XMM-Newton/Chandra/Swift/HST observations of the ultraluminous X-ray source (ULX) in NGC 247, which is found to make transitions between the supersoft ultraluminous (SSUL) regime with a spectrum dominated by a cool ($\sim 0.1$ keV) blackbody component and the soft ultraluminous (SUL) regime with comparable luminosities shared by the blackbody and power-law components. Multi-epoch observations revealed an anti-correlation between the blackbody radius and temperature, $R_{\rm bb} \propto T_{\rm bb}^{-2.8 \pm 0.3}$, ruling out a standard accretion disk as the origin of the soft X-ray emission. The soft X-ray emission is much more variable on both short and long timescales in the SSUL regime than in the SUL regime. We suggest that the SSUL regime may be an extension of the ultraluminous state toward the high accretion end, being an extreme case of the SUL regime, with the blackbody emission arising from the photosphere of thick outflows and the hard X-rays being emission leaked from the embedded accretion disk via the central low-density funnel or advected through the wind. However, the scenario that the supersoft ULXs are standard ULXs viewed nearly edge-on cannot be ruled out. Flux dips on a timescale of 200 s were observed. The dips cannot be explained by an increase of absorption, but could be due to the change of accretion rate or related to thermal fluctuations in the wind or disk. The optical emission of NGC 247 ULX exhibits a blackbody spectrum at a temperature of 19,000 K with a radius of 20 $R_\odot$, likely arising from an OB supergiant companion star.

Pseudogap phenomena near the BKT transition of a two-dimensional ultracold Fermi gas in the crossover region

description: We investigate strong-coupling properties of a two-dimensional ultracold Fermi gas in the normal phase. In the three-dimensional case, it has been shown that the so-called pseudogap phenomena can be well described by a (non-self-consistent) $T$-matrix approximation (TMA). In the two-dimensional case, while this strong coupling theory can explain the pseudogap phenomenon in the strong-coupling regime, it unphysically gives large pseudogap size in the crossover region, as well as in the weak-coupling regime. We show that this difficulty can be overcome when one improve TMA to include higher order pairing fluctuations within the framework of a self-consistent $T$-matrix approximation (SCTMA). The essence of this improvement is also explained. Since the observation of the BKT transition has recently been reported in a two-dimensional $^6$Li Fermi gas, our results would be useful for the study of strong-coupling physics associated with this quasi-long-range order.

The two-dimensional O(3) model at nonzero density: from dual lattice simulations to repulsive bosons

description: We discuss the thermodynamics of the O(3) nonlinear sigma model in 1+1 dimensions at nonzero chemical potential (equivalent to a magnetic field). In its conventional field theory representation the model suffers from a sign problem. By dualizing the lattice model we present, for the first time, nonzero density data of an asymptotically free theory with dynamical mass-gap. We find a quantum phase transition at zero temperature where as a function of the chemical potential the density assumes a nonzero value. We present evidence for a corresponding dynamical critical exponent z close to 2. The low energy O(3) model is conjectured to be described by a massive boson triplet with repulsive interactions. We confirm the universal square root behavior expected for such a system at low density (and temperature) and compare our data to the results of Bethe ansatz solutions of the relativistic and non-relativistic one-dimensional Bose gas. We also comment on a potential Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless transition at nonzero density.

Optical source of individual pairs of color-conjugated photons

description: We demonstrate that Kerr nonlinearity in optical circuits can lead to both resonant four-wave mixing and photon blockade, which can be used for high-yield generation of high-fidelity individual photon pairs with conjugated frequencies. We propose an optical circuit, which, in the optimal pulsed-drive regime, would produce photon pairs at the rate up to $10^5s^{-1}$ (0.5 pairs per pulse) with $g^{(2)}<10^{-2}$ for one of the conjugated frequencies. We show that such a scheme can be utilised to generate color-entangled photons.

Infinitesimal moduli of G2 holonomy manifolds with instanton bundles

description: We describe the infinitesimal moduli space of pairs $(Y, V)$ where $Y$ is a manifold with $G_2$ holonomy, and $V$ is a vector bundle on $Y$ with an instanton connection. These structures arise in connection to the moduli space of heterotic string compactifications on compact and non-compact seven dimensional spaces, e.g. domain walls. Employing the canonical $G_2$ cohomology developed by Reyes-Carrión and Fernández and Ugarte, we show that the moduli space decomposes into the sum of the bundle moduli $H^1_{\check{d}_A}(Y,\mathrm{End}(V))$ plus the moduli of the $G_2$ structure preserving the instanton condition. The latter piece is contained in $H^1_{\check{d}_θ}(Y,TY)$, and is given by the kernel of a map ${\cal\check F}$ which generalises the concept of the Atiyah map for holomorphic bundles on complex manifolds to the case at hand. In fact, the map ${\cal\check F}$ is given in terms of the curvature of the bundle and maps $H^1_{\check{d}_θ}(Y,TY)$ into $H^2_{\check{d}_A}(Y,\mathrm{End}(V))$, and moreover can be used to define a cohomology on an extension bundle of $TY$ by $\mathrm{End}(V)$. We comment further on the resemblance with the holomorphic Atiyah algebroid and connect the story to physics, in particular to heterotic compactifications on $(Y,V)$ when $α'=0$.

Novel Nano-TiO2/ZrO2 Coating on Implant Abutment Surface with Atomic Layer Deposition
Creators: name: Sung, Paul
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2023

description: Titanium abutment as part of superstructure on dental implants has been used for years due to its excellent mechanical property and bio-inert property. However, colonization by oral microbial biofilm on the Titanium (Ti) alloy surface may lead to peri-implantitis as the frequent biological complication. Coating of Ti surfaces has been one of the approach to reduce microbial biofilm formation and colonization. Objectives: To investigate the surface-altering properties of Ti implant abutment material with nano-TiO2/ZrO2 coating using Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) technique.
Some exact solutions of the local induction equation for motion of a vortex in a Bose-Einstein condensate with Gaussian density profile

description: The dynamics of a vortex filament in a trapped Bose-Einstein condensate is considered when the equilibrium density of the condensate, in rotating with angular velocity ${\bfΩ}$ coordinate system, is Gaussian with a quadratic form ${\bf r}\cdot\hat D{\bf r}$. It is shown that equation of motion of the filament in the local induction approximation admits a class of exact solutions in the form of a straight moving vortex, ${\bf R}(β,t)=β{\bf M}(t) +{\bf N}(t)$, where $β$ is a longitudinal parameter, and $t$ is the time. The vortex is in touch with an ellipsoid, as it follows from the conservation laws ${\bf N}\cdot \hat D {\bf N}=C_1$ and ${\bf M}\cdot \hat D {\bf N}=C_0=0$. Equation of motion for the tangent vector ${\bf M}(t)$ turns out to be closed, and it has the integrals ${\bf M}\cdot \hat D {\bf M}=C_2$, $(|{\bf M}| -{\bf M}\cdot\hat G{\bf Ω})=C$, where the matrix $\hat G=2(\hat I \mbox{Tr\,} \hat D -\hat D)^{-1}$. Intersection of the corresponding level surfaces determines trajectories in the phase space.
