description: The fluctuations of two-dimensional extended objects membranes is a rich and exciting field with many solid results and a wide range of open issues. We review the distinct universality classes of membranes, determined by the local order, and the associated phase diagrams. After a discussion of several physical examples of membranes we turn to the physics of crystalline (or polymerized) membranes in which the individual monomers are rigidly bound. We discuss the phase diagram with particular attention to the dependence on the degree of self-avoidance and anisotropy. In each case we review and discuss analytic, numerical and experimental predictions of critical exponents and other key observables. Particular emphasis is given to the results obtained from the renormalization group epsilon-expansion. The resulting renormalization group flows and fixed points are illustrated graphically. The full technical details necessary to perform actual calculations are presented in the Appendices. We then turn to a discussion of the role of topological defects whose liberation leads to the hexatic and fluid universality classes. We finish with conclusions and a discussion of promising open directions for the future.

description: Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are a potential tool to probe high-redshift universe. However, the circularity problem enforces people to find model-independent methods to study the luminosity correlations of GRBs. Here, we present a new method which uses gravitational waves as standard sirens to calibrate GRB luminosity correlations. For the third-generation ground-based GW detectors (i.e., Einstein Telescope), the redshifts of gravitational wave (GW) events accompanied electromagnetic counterparts can reach out to $\sim 4$, which is more distant than type Ia supernovae ($z\lesssim 2$). The Amati relation and Ghirlanda relation are calibrated using mock GW catalogue from Einstein Telescope. We find that the $1σ$ uncertainty of intercepts and slopes of these correlations can be constrained to less than 0.2\% and 8\% respectively. Using calibrated correlations, the evolution of dark energy equation of state can be tightly measured, which is important for discriminating dark energy models.

description: Water simulation, and more generically fluid simulation, is an important research topic in computer graphics. In 3D Eulerian Navier-Stokes-based water simulations, surface tracking and rendering are two delicate problems. The existing solutions to these problems (i.e., implicit surfaces-based approaches, height-fields, ray-tracing), are either to computationally intensive for real-time scenarios, or present bulge water surfaces (i.e., blobby water surfaces). In this paper, we propose a novel tracking algorithm for rendering water surfaces. Instead of tracking the flow of water using either level sets or height-fields, each cell of an 3D grid density value is directly measured in order to determine if it is either water, air, or water-air contact surface. The information in each cell is later used for the water surface splat rendering, using OpenGL vertex buffer objects.

description: In this paper we introduce a method for designing a class of engineering structures, namely suspension bridges. These bridges are ubiquitous in the industrialized countries, often appearing in known city landscapes, yet they are complex enough that hand-based modeling is tedious and time consuming. We present a method that finds the right proportions for such a structure through an optimization method that tries to distribute the tower positions while maintaining cable width to be a finite number. By simultaneously optimizing the span and sag of the cables of a bridge, we optimize the geometry and soundness of the structure. We present the details of our technique together with examples illustrating its use, including comparisons with real structures.

description: We report results of numerical studies of the integer quantum Hall effect in a tight binding model on a two-dimensional square lattice with non-interacting electrons, in the presence of a random potential as well as a uniform magnetic field applied perpendicular to the lattice. We consider field magnitudes such that the area per flux quantum is commensurate with the lattice structure. Topological properties of the single electron wave functions are used to identify current carrying states that are responsible for the quantized Hall conductance. We study the interplay between the magnetic field and the disorder, and find a universal pattern with which the current carrying states are destroyed by increasing disorder strength, and the system driven into an insulating state. We also discuss how to interpolate results of lattice models to the continuum limit. The relationship to previous theoretical and experimental studies of quantum Hall-insulator transitions in strongly disordered systems at low magnetic fields is discussed.

description: Introduction: Current guidelines recommend patients with thoracic aortic disease (TAD) including inherited aortopathies to avoid heavy exercise. However, evidence supporting the negative advice on exercise is scarce. We aimed to provide an up-to-date systematic review of the available evidence on risks and benefits of exercise and sports participation in TAD patients. Areas covered: A systematic search was performed in Medline, Embase and Web of Science: thoracic aortic aneurysm or thoracic aortic dissection or inheritable aortopathies including Marfan Syndrome (MFS), Loeys-Dietz syndrome, Turner Syndrome, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) and sports, exercise or athletes. The resulting 1,652 manuscripts were reviewed by two independent observers. Eventually, 26 studies and 12 case-reports were included, reporting on thoracic aortic dimensions in athletes, exercise related acute aortic dissections, and exercise in BAV and MFS patients. Expert opinion: Blood pressure elevation during exercise may be associated with an increased risk of acute aortic dissection; however, no controlled trials have longitudinally evaluated the effect of exercise on survival or the risk of aortic dissection in TAD patients. Mouse-model studies suggest beneficial effects of exercise in the setting of a dilated aorta in MFS. There is a clear need for prospective research in this field.

description: This paper presents a new real-time method to model and render how sprayed concrete is spread on a surface. The method not only models and renders deposits sprayed from any angle, any distance and with any concrete flow, but it is also able to compute the amount of deposited volume taking into account the percentage of material that rebounds. The proposed method has been developed for a real-time training simulator for concrete spraying machinery, where most of the algorithm is parallelised and computed in the GPU, leaving the CPU free for other computations. In this research, the method has been validated for its use on plain surfaces and tunnel walls, but it can be extended to other types of surfaces.

description: We extend a Gaussian model for the internal electrical potential of a two-dimensional Coulomb gas by a non-Gaussian measure term, which singles out the physically relevant configurations of the potential. The resulting Hamiltonian, expressed as a functional of the internal potential, has a surprising large-scale limit: The additional term simply counts the number of maxima and minima of the potential. The model allows for a transparent derivation of the divergence of the correlation length upon lowering the temperature down to the Kosterlitz-Thouless transition point.

 Body color yellow with head and abdominal segments IX and X brown; sclerotized blotches brown in unwashed specimens.Antennal segment III with setae much shorter than the length of the segment (Fig. 11). Dorsal setae minute with acute apex. Head setae D1 inserted anteriorly to setae D4. Pronotum with sclerotized blotches. Abdominal tergite II with no spiracles; segment X with six minute anal setae. Spiracles with facets with one pore (Fig. 30). Immatures of this species have been collected from banana fruits in the state of Santa Catarina (Lima & Milanez 2013) (CHNUFPI). We were not able to find reliable characters to distinguish available specimens of E. brevisetis and Hoodothrips lineatus. Larva II of this species is also similar to Hercinothrips spp., but does not have spiracles on abdominal tergite II, and setae on tergites IX–X do not emerge from robust tubercles. Setae D1 on abdominal tergite IX are less robust than in H. bicinctus, and more similar to H. femoralis. However, segment IX is completely sclerotized as in H. bicinctus.

description: Traditional content creation for computer games is a costly process. In particular, current techniques for authoring destructible behaviour are often limited to a single object basis. In this paper, we build on previous research results to develop a novel method for designing reusable destructible behaviour which can be applied in real-time to a variety of objects. To separate the destructible behaviour from particular objects, we introduce the concept of destructible materials: where the material of an object usually defines the way an object looks, a destructible material will determine how it breaks. Destructible materials provide a reusable definition and intuitive way of designing and tweaking destructible behaviour of objects in game development, which can then be applied in real-time.

description: As a realization of the quantum Zeno effect, we consider electron tunneling between two quantum dots with one of the dots coupled to a quantum point contact detector. The coupling leads to decoherence and to the suppression of tunneling. When the detector is driven with an ac voltage, a parametric resonance occurs which strongly counteracts decoherence. We propose a novel experiment with which it is possible to observe both the quantum Zeno effect and the parametric resonance in electric transport.

description: A new asymptotic theory is proposed for the peripheral sub- and above-barrier transfer $A$($x$, $y$)$B$ reaction within the three-body ($A$, $a$ and $y$) model, where $ x$= $y$ + $a$, $B$= $A$ + $a$ and $ a$ is a transferred particle. In the asymptotic theory, the allowance of the contribution of the three-body ($A$, $a$ and $y$) Coulomb dynamics of the transfer mechanism to the peripheral partial amplitudes for the partial wave $l_i>>$ 1 and of the Coulomb-nuclear distorted effects in the entrance and exit channels is done in a correct manner within the framework of the dispersion theory and the conventional distorted-wave Born approximation (DWBA), respectively. It is shown that the proposed asymptotic theory makes it possible to test the accuracy of taking into account the the three-body Coulomb dynamics of the transfer mechanism in the modified DWBA. The results of the analysis of the differential cross sections of the specific proton and triton transfer reactions at above- and sub-barrier energies are presented. New estimates and their uncertainties are obtained for values of the asymptotic normalization coefficients for ${\rm{^9Be}} \,+p \to\,{\rm{^{10}B}}$, ${\rm{^{11}B}}\,+\,p\to\,{\rm{^{12}C}}$, ${\rm{^{16}O}} \,+\,p \to\, {\rm{^{17}F}}$ and ${\rm{^{19}F}}\to\, {\rm{^{16}O}} \,+\,t$ as well as for the direct astrophysical $S$ factors at stellar energy of the radiative capture ${\rm{^9Be(}}p,\,γ{\rm{)^{10}B}} $, ${\rm{^{11}B(}}p,\,γ{\rm{)^{12}C}} $ and ${\rm{^{16}O(}}p,\,γ{\rm{)^{17}F}}$ reactions.

description: We study the level spacing statistics $P(s)$ and eigenstate properties of spinless fermions with Coulomb interaction on a two dimensional lattice at constant filling factor and various disorder strength. In the limit of large lattice size, $P(s)$ undergoes a transition from the Poisson to the Wigner-Dyson distribution at a critical total energy independent of the number of fermions. This implies the emergence of quantum ergodicity induced by interaction and delocalization in the Hilbert space at zero temperature.

description: The high frequency of modern travel has led to concerns about a devastating pandemic since a lethal pathogen strain could spread worldwide quickly. Many historical pandemics have arisen following pathogen evolution to a more virulent form. However, some pathogen strains invoke immune responses that provide partial cross-immunity against infection with related strains. Here, we consider a mathematical model of successive outbreaks of two strains—a low virulence (LV) strain outbreak followed by a high virulence (HV) strain outbreak. Under these circumstances, we investigate the impacts of varying travel rates and cross-immunity on the probability that a major epidemic of the HV strain occurs, and the size of that outbreak. Frequent travel between subpopulations can lead to widespread immunity to the HV strain, driven by exposure to the LV strain. As a result, major epidemics of the HV strain are less likely, and can potentially be smaller, with more connected subpopulations. Cross-immunity may be a factor contributing to the absence of a global pandemic as severe as the 1918 influenza pandemic in the century since.This article is part of the theme issue ‘Detection, forecasting and control of infectious disease epidemics: modelling outbreaks in humans, animals and plants Part 1’.

description: We systematically investigate the mode dispersion and spectral weight of the elementary excitation spectra in one-dimensional continuum and lattice electron systems by using the RPA, the Luttinger liquid model, and the Hubbard model. Both charge and spin excitations are studied in details and compared among the theoretical models. For the lattice Hubbard model we use both Bethe-ansatz equations and Lanczos-Gagliano method to calculate dispersion and spectral weight separately. We discuss the theoretically calculated elementary excitation spectra in terms of the experimental inelastic light (Raman) scattering spectroscopy of 1D semiconductor quantum wire systems. Our results show that in the polarized (i.e. non-spin-flip) Raman scattering spectroscopy, only the 1D charge density excitations should show up with observable spectral weight with the single particle excitations (in RPA) or singlet spin excitations (in the Luttinger model and the Hubbard model) having negligible spectral weight. The depolarized (spin-flip) Raman scattering spectra manifest the spin density or the triplet spin excitations. We also provide a qualitative comparison between the continuum and the lattice 1D elementary excitation spectra.

description: A method for diffracting the weak probe beam into unidirectional and higher-order directions is proposed via a novel Rydberg electromagnetically induced grating, providing a new way for the implementations of quantum devices with cold Rydberg atoms. The proposed scheme utilizes a suitable and position-dependent adjustment to the two-photon detuning besides the modulation of the standing-wave coupling field, bringing a in-phase modulation which can change the parity of the dispersion. We observe that when the modulation amplitude is appropriate, a perfect unidirectional diffraction grating can be realized. In addition, due to the mutual effect between the van der Waals (vdWs) interaction and the atom-field interaction length that deeply improves the dispersion of the medium, the probe energy can be counter-intuitively transferred into higher-order diffractions as increasing the vdWs interaction, leading to the realization of a controllable higher-order diffraction grating via strong blockade.

The algebraic formulation in this 5D space is then implemented in GPU to allow faster parallel computation queries. Results show expected orders of magnitude improvements computing collisions among known mesh models, allowing interactive rates without using optimizations and bounding volume hierarchies.

description: The Quality Management Plan defines the quality policy and plan to be applied in the DIAMOND project. Its purpose is to establish the roles, procedures, metrics, and tools necessary to ensure that the DIAMOND project is implemented smoothly and that all project deliverables are of a high quality and of scientific value and that they are submitted to the EC services in time. Complying with the quality management procedures falls under the responsibility of the Project Coordinator, the Project Manager, the Quality Manager, the Work Package leaders, and the Task leaders. Effective channels of internal communication have been established since Month 1, enabling smooth exchange of all necessary information among project partners. A thorough quality procedure has been established: each project deliverable will be quality-reviewed by two to five internal reviewers (depending on the nature of the deliverable), before being revised accordingly and then reviewed and edited for a final time by an additional member of the management team from ICCS. This will ensure that the submitted deliverables adequately satisfy the quality criteria of clarity, completeness, accuracy, relevance, and technical compliance. Specific performance indicators have been set for which monitoring data will be collected regularly, aimed at fully informed reporting. Finally, a risk management plan has been put into place, consisting of the identification of the technical (research-oriented) and management (project implementation-related) risks.

By means of an hodographic transformation we are able to solve the problem in the case of weak shear thinning while taking into account the non laplacian character of the equation. Our results predict that the finger width decreases towards zero for small values of the surface tension parameter which is inversely proportional to the finger velocity.

description: Is there a general economic pathway recapitulated by individual cities over and over? Identifying such evolution structure, if any, would inform models for the assessment, maintenance, and forecasting of urban sustainability and economic success as a quantitative baseline. This premise seems to contradict the existing body of empirical evidences for path-dependent growth shaping the unique history of individual cities. And yet, recent empirical evidences and theoretical models have amounted to the universal patterns, mostly size-dependent, thereby expressing many of urban quantities as a set of simple scaling laws. Here, we provide a mathematical framework to integrate repeated cross-sectional data, each of which freezes in time dimension, into a frame of reference for longitudinal evolution of individual cities in time. Using data of over 100 millions employment in thousand business categories between 1998 and 2013, we decompose each city's evolution into a pre-factor and relative changes to eliminate national and global effects. In this way, we show the longitudinal dynamics of individual cities recapitulate the observed cross-sectional regularity. Larger cities are not only scaled-up versions of their smaller peers but also of their past. In addition, our model shows that both specialization and diversification are attributed to the distribution of industry's scaling exponents, resulting a critical population of 1.2 million at which a city makes an industrial transition into innovative economies.

description: In this paper, the problem of estimating the level set of a black-box function from noisy and expensive evaluation queries is considered. A new algorithm for this problem in the Bayesian framework with a Gaussian Process (GP) prior is proposed. The proposed algorithm employs a hierarchical sequence of partitions to explore different regions of the search space at varying levels of detail depending upon their proximity to the level set boundary. It is shown that this approach results in the algorithm having a low complexity implementation whose computational cost is significantly smaller than the existing algorithms for higher dimensional search space $\X$. Furthermore, high probability bounds on a measure of discrepancy between the estimated level set and the true level set for the the proposed algorithm are obtained, which are shown to be strictly better than the existing guarantees for a large class of GPs. In the process, a tighter characterization of the information gain of the proposed algorithm is obtained which takes into account the structured nature of the evaluation points. This approach improves upon the existing technique of bounding the information gain with maximum information gain.

description: Higher resolution meshes should be used in graphics applications to make them as realistic as they can. However, they imply a high computational. Several approaches have been built to solve collision detection, although most of them do not take into account this feature. This paper presents a scalable parallel algorithm for collision detection designed for working with high resolution meshes. The algorithm is based on distributed memory architectures taking advantage of their benefits and overcoming their drawbacks.

Year: 2023

description: This report is the DIAMOND project’s initial strategy for the communication, dissemination, and exploitation (CDE) activities to relevant audiences. The report first defines the scope of communication, dissemination, and exploitation in the context of DIAMOND and sets the CDE targets of the project. The overall targets of the project include a tailored approach to convey the project’s key messages and efforts towards inclusive messages and communication means. The report also sets quantifiable indicators for specific activities that will be tracked throughout the duration of the project, such as achieving/publishing at least 10 articles and press releases in the project’s course. Next, the report identifies the project’s target audiences, which include modellers, researchers, policymakers and industries as well as NGOs and civil society. A multi-pronged selection of promotional channels/platforms is\ suggested, in order to more effectively target these varied populations. The promotional channels to reach project audiences include the project’s website, social media channels media (e.g., Twitter, LinkedIn, and Instagram), the I2AM PARIS platform, synergies with other relevant projects, open-access papers, and more. A visual identity and a logo for the project have been developed and have been used in the design of the project website and promotional materials including infographics and presentations. The plan concludes by reporting progress towards CDE indicators and outlining the next steps for improving dissemination. The CDE plan will be further updated in Months 18 and 34.

Atomic antiferromagnetic domain wall propagation beyond the relativistic limit

description: We theoretically investigate the dynamics of atomic domain walls (DWs) in antiferromagnets driven by a spin-orbit field. For a DW with the width of a few lattice constants, we identify a Peierls-like pinning effect, with the depinning field exponentially decaying with the DW width, so that a spin-orbit field moderately larger than the threshold can drive the propagation of an atomic DW in a step-wise manner. For a broad DW, the Peierls pinning is negligibly small. However, the external spin-orbit field can induce a fast DW propagation, accompanied by a significant shrinking of its width down to atomic scales. Before stepping into the pinning region, noticeable spin waves are emitted at the tail of the DW. The spin-wave emission event not only broadens the effective width of the DW, but also pushes the DW velocity over the magnonic barrier, which is generally believed to be the relativistic limit of the DW speed. While the existing dynamic theory based on the continuum approximation fails in the atomic scale, we develop an energy conversion theory to interpret the DW dynamics beyond the relativistic limit.

description: Heliothrips haemorrhoidalis (Bouché)
(Figs 12, 18, 31)
 Body color yellow. Antennal segment III with setae shorter than the length of the segment; segment VII length usually 70 μm (Fig. 12). Dorsal setae simple with blunt to capitate apex (Fig. 18). Pronotum with no sclerotized blotch. Abdominal tergite II with no spiracles; segment IX sclerotized laterally, X completely sclerotized; segment X with six anal setae shorter than the segment length. Spiracles with facets with one to five pores (Fig. 31). In Brazil, this species has been found only recently in the Atlantic Rainforest biome (Lima et al. 2020). Immatures have been collected from Anthurium leaves in the state of São Paulo, Brazil (CHNUFPI). The authors could not find consistent differences between larvae of this species and H. longisensibilis. However, the antennal segments of H. longisensibilis are usually shorter than in H. haemorrhoidalis.

description: The recent identification of a time and temperature dependent spin glass correlation length, $ξ({t_w},T)$, has consequences for samples of finite size. Qualitative arguments are given on this basis for departures from t/{t_w} scaling for the time decay of the thermoremanent magnetization, {M_{TRM}}(t,{t_w},T), where t is the measurement time after a ``waiting time'' t_w, and for the imaginary part of the ac susceptibility, ${χ^{{\prime}{\prime}}}(ω,t)$. Consistency is obtained for a more rapid decay of $M_{TRM}(t,{t_w},T)$ with increasing t_w when plotted as a function of t/{t_w}, for the deviation of the characteristic time for {M_{TRM}}(t,{t_w},T) from a linear dependence upon H^2 at larger values of H, and for the deviation of the decay of ${χ^{{\prime}{\prime}}}(ω,t)$ from $ωt$ scaling upon a change in magnetic field at large values of $ωt$. These departures from scaling can, in principle, be used to extract the particle size distribution for a given spin glass sample.

description: Characters, like other articulated objects and structures, are typically simulated using articulated dynamics algorithms. There are efficient linear-time algorithms for the simulation of open-chain articulated bodies, but complexity grows notably under additional constraints such as joint limits, loops or contact, or if the bodies undergo stiff joint forces. This paper presents a linear-time algorithm for the simulation of open-chain articulated bodies with joint limits and stiff joint forces. This novel algorithm uses implicit integration to simulate stiff forces in a stable manner, and avoids drift by formulating joint constraints implicitly. One additional interesting feature of the algorithm is that its practical implementation entails only small modifications to a popular algorithm.

Measurement of the Diffractive Structure Function F_2^D(4) at HERA
Creators: name: ZEUS Collaboration
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1997
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Experiment (hep-ex)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: This paper presents the first analysis of diffractive photon dissociation events in deep inelastic positron-proton scattering at HERA in which the proton in the final state is detected and its momentum measured. The events are selected by requiring a scattered proton in the ZEUS leading proton spectrometer (LPS) with $\xl>0.97$, where $\xl$ is the fraction of the incoming proton beam momentum carried by the scattered proton. The use of the LPS significantly reduces the contamination from events with diffractive dissociation of the proton into low mass states and allows a direct measurement of $t$, the square of the four-momentum exchanged at the proton vertex. The dependence of the cross section on $t$ is measured in the interval $0.073
