description: Scaling laws for the thrust production and power consumption of a purely pitching hydrofoil in ground effect are presented. For the first time, ground effect scaling laws based on physical insights capture the propulsive performance over a wide range of biologically-relevant Strouhal numbers, dimensionless amplitudes, and dimensionless ground distances. This is achieved by advancing previous scaling laws (Moored & Quinn 2018) with physics-driven modifications to the added mass and circulatory forces to account for ground distance variations. The key physics introduced are the increase in the added mass of a foil near the ground and the reduction in the influence of a wake vortex system due to the influence of its image system. The scaling laws are found to be in good agreement with new inviscid simulations and viscous experiments, and can be used to accelerate the design of bio-inspired hydrofoils that oscillate near a ground plane or two out-of-phase foils in a side-by-side arrangement.

description: Within simulations of molecules deposited on a surface we show that neuroevolutionary learning can design particles and time-dependent protocols to promote self-assembly, without input from physical concepts such as thermal equilibrium or mechanical stability and without prior knowledge of candidate or competing structures. The learning algorithm is capable of both directed and exploratory design: it can assemble a material with a user-defined property, or search for novelty in the space of specified order parameters. In the latter mode it explores the space of what can be made rather than the space of structures that are low in energy but not necessarily kinetically accessible.

description: Special relativity, as postulated by Albert Einstein, transformed our comprehension of space and time, ushering in a paradigm that interconnected these dimensions and challenged the established norms of classical Newtonian physics. The practical ramifications of special relativity are unmistakable, notably in applications such as GPS, where relativistic effects demand consideration for precise navigation. Conversely, the wave function stands as a pivotal concept within quantum mechanics, elucidating the state of a particle. It encapsulates the uncertainty principle, accentuating the inherent unpredictability inherent at the quantum level. The wave function's practical implications extend to technologies like semiconductors and quantum computing, propelling advancements in information processing. In unison, special relativity and the wave function serve as cornerstones in modern physics. Special relativity reforms our perception of the vast cosmos, while the wave function reveals the intricate and probabilistic facets of the microscopic realm. These theories collectively forge paths for groundbreaking technologies, enriching our understanding of the fundamental principles governing the cosmos. However, in this research, we have developed the time-independent equation of the wave function for a single dimension within the scope of relativity, anticipating its significant relevance within the realm of physics.

description: This report summarizes the evaluation of truck route access between the National Highway System and 46 truck generating sites, including intermodal sites, throughout Kentucky (includes 81 routes and 800 miles of highway). Routes were evaluated quantitatively for nine highway features, assigned an overall route rating and recommendations for routine maintenance and re-construction were made. The level and quality of truck access to the NHS varies dramatically throughout the state. Some facilities are between 25 and 50 miles from the NHS. No significant difference in route ratings or other measures was found by geographic location. The different typography throughout the state contributed to differences in grade and curvature quality. Very few non-NHS truck routes have 12-foot lanes along their whole length. The intermodal facility routes in general were found to be of better quality than routes leading to truck only sites. Trucks are not always using the routes they should. Ten of the routes were considered the "best" and required no improvements at this time. Improvements on other routes varied from routine maintenance to the need for complete reconstruction. Routes were prioritized by length and amount of truck traffic to recommend the most critical routes for improvement.

Static strings in global AdS space and quark anti-quark potential

description: We investigate the finite temperature quark anti-quark problem in a compact space $S^{n-1}\times S^1$ by considering static strings in global $AdS_{n+1}$ space with $n\ge 3$. For high temperatures we work in the black hole metric where two possible solutions show up : the big black hole and the small black hole. Using the AdS/CFT correspondence, we calculate the quark anti-quark potential (free energy) as a function of the distance. We show that this potential can be intrepeted as confining for the $AdS$ space and deconfining for the big black hole. We find for the small black hole a confining limit for the potential but this solution is instable following the Hawking-Page criteria. Our results for the free energy reinforce the Witten interpretation of the confinement/deconfinement transition as the dual of the well-known Hawking-Page transition.

description: We extend our previous analysis on the symmetry limit properties of non-leptonic and weak radiative decay amplitudes of hyperons in a scheme of mirror matter admixtures in physical hadrons to include the two-body non-leptonic decays of $Ω^-$ and the two photon and two pion decays of kaons. We show that the so-called parity-conserving amplitudes predicted for all the decays vanish in the strong flavor SU(3) symmetry limit. We also establish the specific conditions under which the corresponding so-called parity-violating amplitudes vanish in the same limit.

description: This dissertation explores how the decisions of the Special Supreme Court of Greece, that decide the constitutionality of a law, bind the rest of the Greek courts. Firstly the dissertation presents the most important cases, in which a law was found in accord with the constitution and later it analyzes the way these cases were applied by the lower courts. In order to draw final conclusions about the binding effects of the Special Supreme Court’s jurisprudence, the dissertation resorts to theoretical approaches that consider jurisprudence a source of law.

description: The problem of photoionization of atomic hydrogen in a white-dwarf-strength magnetic field is revisited to understand the existing discrepancies in the positive-energy spectra obtained by a variety of theoretical approaches reported in the literature. Oscillator strengths for photoionization are calculated with the adiabatic-basis-expansion method developed by Mota-Furtado and O'Mahony [Phys. Rev. A {\bf 76}, 053405 (2007)]. A comparative study is performed between the adiabatic-basis-expansion method and our previously developed coupled-channel theory [Phys. Rev. A {\bf 94}, 033422 (2016)]. A detailed analysis of the positive-energy spectra obtained here and those from other theoretical approaches shows that the adiabatic-basis-expansion method can produce more accurate positive-energy spectra than other reported approaches for low field strengths.

Year: 2008

description: There is accumulating evidence that (fundamental) scalar fields may exist in Nature. The gravitational collapse of such a boson cloud would lead to a boson star (BS) as a new type of a compact object. Similarly as for white dwarfs and neutron stars, there exists a limiting mass, below which a BS is stable against complete gravitational collapse to a black hole. According to the form of the self-interaction of the basic constituents and the spacetime symmetry, we can distinguish mini-, axidilaton, soliton, charged, oscillating and rotating BSs. Their compactness prevents a Newtonian approximation, however, modifications of general relativity, as in the case of Jordan-Brans-Dicke theory as a low energy limit of strings, would provide them with gravitational memory. In general, a BS is a compact, completely regular configuration with structured layers due to the anisotropy of scalar matter, an exponentially decreasing 'halo', a critical mass inversely proportional to constituent mass, an effective radius, and a large particle number. Due to the Heisenberg principle, there exists a completely stable branch, and as a coherent state, it allows for rotating solutions with quantised angular momentum. In this review, we concentrate on the fascinating possibilities of detecting the various subtypes of (excited) BSs: Possible signals include gravitational redshift and (micro-)lensing, emission of gravitational waves, or, in the case of a giant BS, its dark matter contribution to the rotation curves of galactic halos.

Global Well-posedness of Free Interface Problems for the incompressible Inviscid Resistive MHD

description: We consider the plasma-vacuum interface problem in a horizontally periodic slab impressed by a uniform non-horizontal magnetic field. The lower plasma region is governed by the incompressible inviscid and resistive MHD, the upper vacuum region is governed by the pre-Maxwell equations, and the effect of surface tension is taken into account on the free interface. The global well-posedness of the problem, supplemented with physical boundary conditions, around the equilibrium is established, and the solution is shown to decay to the equilibrium almost exponentially. Our results reveal the strong stabilizing effect of the magnetic field as the global well-posedness of the free-boundary incompressible Euler equations, without the irrotational assumption, around the equilibrium is unknown. One of the key observations here is an induced damping structure for the fluid vorticity due to the resistivity and transversal magnetic field. A similar global well-posedness for the plasma-plasma interface problem is obtained, where the vacuum is replaced by another plasma.

description: The equations governing a collisionless obliquely-flowing plasma around an ion-absorbing object in a strong magnetic field are shown to have an exact analytic solution even for arbitrary (two-dimensional) object-shape, when temperature is uniform, and diffusive transport can be ignored. The solution has an extremely simple geometric embodiment. It shows that the ion collection flux density to a convex body's surface depends only upon the orientation of the surface, and provides the theoretical justification and calibration of oblique `Mach-probes'. The exponential form of this exact solution helps explain the approximate fit of this function to previous numerical solutions.

The Initial Mass Function of Low-mass Stars and Brown Dwarfs in the W3 Complex

description: We have used archival infrared images obtained with the Wide Field Camera 3 on board the Hubble Space Telescope to constrain the initial mass function of low-mass stars and brown dwarfs in the W3 star-forming region. The images cover 438 arcmin$^2$, which encompasses the entire complex, and were taken in the filters F110W, F139M, and F160W. We have estimated extinctions for individual sources in these data from their colors and have dereddened their photometry accordingly. By comparing an area of the images that contains the richest concentration of previously identified W3 members to an area that has few members and is dominated by background stars, we have estimated the luminosity function for members of W3 with masses of 0.03-0.4 $M_\odot$. That luminosity function closely resembles data in typical nearby star-forming regions that have much smaller stellar populations than W3 ($\lesssim$500 vs. several thousand objects). Thus, we do not find evidence of significant variations in the initial mass function of low-mass stars and brown dwarfs with star forming conditions, which is consistent with recent studies of other distant massive star-forming regions.

description: We develop a quantum theory of atomic Rayleigh scattering. Scattering is considered as a relaxation of incident photons from a selected mode of free space to the reservoir of the other free space modes. Additional excitations of the reservoir states which appear are treated as scattered light. We show that an entangled state of the excited atom and the incident photon is formed during the scattering. Due to entanglement, a photon is never completely absorbed by the atom. We show that even if the selected mode frequency is incommensurable with any atomic transition frequency, the scattered light spectrum has a maximum at the frequency of the selected mode. The linewidth of scattered light is much smaller than that of the spontaneous emission of a single atom, therefore, the process can be considered as elastic. The developed theory does not use the phenomenological concept of virtual level.

Specific mass matrices are examined in detail as an illustration.

description: The intrinsic antiferromagnetic topological insulator MnBi$_{2}$Te$_{4}$ undergoes a metamagnetic transition in a c-axis magnetic field. It has been predicted that ferromagnetic MnBi$_{2}$Te$_{4}$ is an ideal Weyl semimetal with a single pair of Weyl nodes. Here we report measurements of quantum oscillations detected in the field-induced ferromagnetic phase of MnBi$_{2-x}$Sb$_{x}$Te$_{4}$, where Sb substitution tunes the majority carriers from electrons to holes. Single frequency Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations were observed in a wide range of Sb concentrations (0.54 $\leq$ x $\leq$ 1.21). The evolution of the oscillation frequency and the effective mass shows reasonable agreement with the Weyl semimetal band-structure of ferromagnetic MnBi$_{2}$Te$_{4}$ predicted by density functional calculations. Intriguingly, the quantum oscillation frequency shows a strong temperature dependence, indicating that the electronic structure sensitively depends on magnetism.
Mirror matter admixtures in K_L to mu^+ mu^-

description: Our previous analysis on the contributions of mirror matter admixtures in ordinary hadrons to K_L to gamma gamma is extended to study the relevance of such contributions to the K_L to mu^+ mu^- rare decay. The mixing angle of the admixtures previously determined to describe the enhancement phenomenon in two body non-leptonic decays of strange hadrons is used, along with recent results for the description of the strong and electromagnetic interaction parts of the transition amplitudes. We find that these admixtures give a significant contribution with a small SU(3) breaking of only 2.8%, we also find a value of \sim -17.9^{\circ} for the eta-eta' mixing angle consistent with some of its determinations in the literature and a preferred negative value around -16 for the local counter-term contribution chi_1 + chi_2 consistent with the existence of a unique counter-term assuming lepton universality. We conclude that those mixings may be relevant in low energy physics and should not be ignored.

description: Nonylphenol ethoxylate (NPE 10) is a non ionic surfactant which is synthesized from alkylphenol ethoxylate. The accumulation of NPE-10 in wastewater will endanger the ecosystem as well as human being. At present, by an advancement of technology NPE 10 can be degraded indirectly by using an electrochemically treatment. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the potential electrodegradation of NPE 10 by mediated electrochemical oxidation (MEO) using Ce(IV) ionic mediator. In addition, the influence of Ag(I) ionic catalyst in the performance of MEO for degradation of NPE 10 was also observed. The potency of MEO technology in degradation NPE 10 was evaluated by voltammetry technique and confirmed by titrimetry and LC-MS analyses. The results showed that in the absence of Ag(I) ionic catalyst, the degradation of NPE 10 by MEO was 85.93 %. Furthermore, when the Ag(I) ionic catalyst was applied, the performance of MEO in degradation of NPE 10 was improved to 95.12 %. The back titration using Ba(OH)2 confirmed the formation of CO2 by 46.79 %. Whereas the redox titration shows the total of degradation organic compounds by 42.50 %, which was emphasized by formation of two new peaks in LC-MS chromatogram. In summary, our results confirm the potential of MEO technology for NPE-10 degradation.

description: We compare environmental effects in two analogous samples of galaxies, one from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) and the other from a semi-analytic model (SAM) based on the Millennium Simulation (MS), to test to what extent current SAMs of galaxy formation are reproducing environmental effects. We estimate the large-scale environment of each galaxy using a Bayesian density estimator based on distances to all ten nearest neighbors and compare broad-band photometric properties of the two samples as a function of environment. The feedbacks implemented in the semi-analytic model produce a qualitatively correct galaxy population with similar environmental dependence as that seen in SDSS galaxies. In detail, however, the colors of MS galaxies exhibit an exaggerated dependence on environment: the field contains too many blue galaxies while clusters contain too many red galaxies, compared to the SDSS sample. We also find that the MS contains a population of highly clustered, relatively faint red galaxies with velocity dispersions comparable to their Hubble flow. Such high-density galaxies, if they exist, would be overlooked in any low-redshift survey since their membership to a cluster cannot be determined due to the "Fingers of God" effect.

A primary objective of this study was to determine average accident statistics for Kentucky highways. Average and critical numbers and rates of accidents were calculated for various types of highways in rural and urban areas. These data can be used in Kentucky's procedure to identify locations that have abnormal rates or numbers of accidents.  The other primary objective of this study was to provide data which can be used in the preparation of the problem identification portion of Kentucky's Annual Highway Safety Plan. County and city accident statistics were analyzed. A summary of results and recommendations in several problem identification areas is presented. These general areas include alcohol involvement, occupant protection, speed, teenage drivers, pedestrians, bicycles, motorcycles, trucks, and vehicle defects. Other areas included in the analysis for which specific recommendations were not made include drug involvement, school bus accidents, and train accidents.

Photon-added coherent states using the continuous-mode formalism
Creators: name: Francis, J. T.
name: Tame, M. S.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The addition of a photon into the same mode as a coherent state produces a nonclassical state that has interesting features, including quadrature squeezing and a sub-Poissonian photon-number distribution. The squeezed nature of photon-added coherent (PAC) states potentially offers an advantage in quantum sensing applications. Previous theoretical works have employed a single-mode treatment of PAC states. Here, we use a continuous-mode approach that allows us to model PAC state pulses. We study the properties of a single-photon and coherent state wavepacket superimposed with variable temporal and spectral overlap. We show that, even without perfect overlap, the state exhibits a sub-Poissonian number distribution, second-order quantum correlations and quadrature squeezing for a weak coherent state. We also include propagation loss in waveguides and study how the fidelity and other properties of PAC state pulses are affected.

GaaP: PSF- and aperture-matched photometry using shapelets
Creators: name: Kuijken, Konrad
Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We describe a new technique for measuring accurate galaxy colours from images taken under different seeing conditions. The method involves two ingredients. First we define the Gaussian-aperture-and-PSF flux, which is the Gaussian-weighted flux a galaxy would have if it were observed with a Gaussian PSF. This theoretical aperture flux is independent of the PSF or pixel scale that the galaxy was observed with. Second we develop a procedure to measure such a `GaaP' flux from observed, pixellated images. This involves modelling source and PSF as a superposition of orthogonal shapelets. A correction scheme is also described, which approximately corrects for any residuals to the shapelet expansions. A series of tests on simulated images shows that with this method it is possible to reduce systematic errors in the matched-aperture fluxes to a percent, which makes it useful for deriving photometric redshifts from large imaging surveys.

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The discovery of pulsars in 1968 heralded an era where the temporal characteristics of detectors had to be reassessed. Up to this point detector integration times would normally be measured in minutes rather seconds and definitely not on sub-second time scales. At the start of the 21st century pulsar observations are still pushing the limits of detector telescope capabilities. Flux variations on times scales less than 1 nsec have been observed during giant radio pulses. Pulsar studies over the next 10 to 20 years will require instruments with time resolutions down to microseconds and below, high-quantum quantum efficiency, reasonable energy resolution and sensitive to circular and linear polarisation of stochastic signals. This chapter is review of temporally resolved optical observations of pulsars. It concludes with estimates of the observability of pulsars with both existing telescopes and into the ELT era.

description: Galaxy disks are characterised by star formation histories that vary systematically along the Hubble sequence. We study global star formation, incorporating supernova feedback, gas accretion and enriched outflows in disks modelled by a multiphase interstellar medium in a fixed gravitational potential. The star formation histories, gas distributions and chemical evolution can be explained in a simple sequence of models which are primarily regulated by the cold gas accretion history.

Freight Commodity Flow in Kentucky

Publisher: name: Kentucky Transportation Center, University of Kentucky
Year: 1999
Subjects: subject: Transportation Engineering

description: The primary objectives of this project were to further the understanding of freight flows throughout Kentucky and to make recommendations on the potential value of freight commodity flow data as an input for statewide transportation planning models. Freight flow data are difficult to accumulate and to convert to common units for use. However, the data available from Reebie Associates that were developed with the Federal Highway Administration have proved useful. The database itself was found to be consistent with other sources of aggregate freight data for Kentucky except for airports. The data assigned to the highway network was in general agreement with weigh station counts and previous research conducted by Morehead State University. However, modeled truck volumes were found to have poor correspondence with the 1996 KYTC classification counts particularly for non-freeway routes. These errors are attributed to the large zone size (3-digit zip code) used in the model as well as the representation of Tennessee as a single zone. Specific recommendations are made for KYTC's consideration for future freight transportation planning efforts.

description: The systematic trends in structural and electronic properties of perylene diimide (PDI) derived dye molecules have been investigated by DFT calculations based on projector augmented wave (PAW) method including gradient corrected exchange-correlation effects. TDDFT calculations have been performed to study the visible absorbance activity of these complexes. The effect of different ligands and halogen atoms attached to PDI were studied to characterize the light harvesting properties. The atomic size and electronegativity of the halogen were observed to alter the relaxed molecular geometries which in turn influenced the electronic behavior of the dye molecules. Ground state molecular structure of isolated dye molecules studied in this work depends on both the halogen atom and the carboxylic acid groups. DFT calculations revealed that the carboxylic acid ligands did not play an important role in changing the HOMO-LUMO gap of the sensitizer. However, they serve as anchor between the PDI and substrate titania surface of the solar cell or photocatalyst. A commercially available dye-sensitizer, ruthenium bipyridine (RuBpy), was also studied for electronic and structural properties in order to make a comparison with PDI derivatives for light harvesting properties. Results of this work suggest that fluorinated, chlorinated, brominated, and iyodinated PDI compounds can be useful as sensitizers in solar cells and in artificial photosynthesis.

description: Αν και την τελευταία δεκαετία το φαινόμενο της μετανάστευσης έχει απασχολήσει την ελληνική βιβλιογραφία, οι πληθυσμοί με τόπο προέλευσης την Αφρική παραμένουν ερευνητικά αφανείς. Η παρούσα μελέτη ασχολείται με τα ζητήματα της διγλωσσίας, της εκπαίδευσης και της κατάστασης του γραμματισμού των παιδιών των οικογενειών μεταναστών από το Κονγκό στην Ελλάδα. Αναφέρεται στις συνθήκες της μετανάστευσής τους, στα πολιτισμικά μοντέλα που φέρουν από τη χώρα προέλευσής τους και στη σχέση τους με τη γλώσσα και την εκπαίδευση. Ένα σημαντικό εύρημα ανάμεσα στις τέσσερις οικογένειες του δείγματος είναι σε σχέση με την αξία της μητρικής γλώσσας συγκριτικά με τη γλώσσα του κοινωνικού περιβάλλοντος στο σπίτι και στο σχολείο. Η χρήση της μητρικής γλώσσας ως αντικείμενο και ως εργαλείο διδασκαλίας συνεισφέρει στην αυτοαντίληψη του ατόμου και στη μαθησιακή αυτοεκτίμηση.
description: Though the last decade the phenomenon of immigration has been of vast interest in the Greek literature, populations that origin from Africa remain neglected in research. This study is concerned with matters of bilingualism, education and the condition of literacy of children of immigrant families from Congo living in Greece. It refers to the conditions of their migration, the cultural models they hold from their origin society and their relation with language and education. One significant finding amongst the four sample families is in relation with the value of the mother tongue in comparison with the language of the social environment at home and at school. The usage of the mother tongue as an object and as an instrument of instruction contributes to the self-awareness as persons and to the self-esteem as students to the children.
