description: In this work, we consider two kinds of model reduction techniques to simulate blood flow through the largest systemic arteries, where a stenosis is located in a peripheral artery i.e. in an artery that is located far away from the heart. For our simulations we place the stenosis in one of the tibial arteries belonging to the right lower leg (right post tibial artery). The model reduction techniques that are used are on the one hand dimensionally reduced models (1-D and 0-D models, the so-called mixed-dimension model) and on the other hand surrogate models produced by kernel methods. Both methods are combined in such a way that the mixed-dimension models yield training data for the surrogate model, where the surrogate model is parametrised by the degree of narrowing of the peripheral stenosis. By means of a well-trained surrogate model, we show that simulation data can be reproduced with a satisfactory accuracy and that parameter optimisation or state estimation problems can be solved in a very efficient way. Furthermore it is demonstrated that a surrogate model enables us to present after a very short simulation time the impact of a varying degree of stenosis on blood flow, obtaining a speedup of several orders over the full model.

description: The Verwey phase transition in magnetite has been analyzed using the group theory methods. It is found that two order parameters with the symmetries $X_3$ and $Δ_5$ induce the structural transformation from the high-temperature cubic to the low-temperature monoclinic phase. The coupling between the order parameters is described by the Landau free energy functional. The electronic and crystal structure for the cubic and monoclinic phases were optimized using the {\it ab initio} density functional method. The electronic structure calculations were performed within the generalized gradient approximation including the on-site interactions between 3d electrons at iron ions -- the Coulomb element $U$ and Hund's exchange $J$. Only when these local interactions are taken into account, the phonon dispersion curves, obtained by the direct method for the cubic phase, reproduce the experimental data. It is shown that the interplay of local electron interations and the coupling to the lattice drives the phonon order parameters and is responsible for the opening of the gap at the Fermi energy. Thus, it is found that the metal-insulator transition in magnetite is promoted by local electron interactions, which significantly amplify the electron-phonon interaction and stabilize weak charge order coexisting with orbital order of the occupied $t_{2g}$ states at Fe ions. This provides a scenario to understand the fundamental problem of the origin of the Verwey transition in magnetite.

description: We discuss in detail the coupled-channels approach for the large-angle quasi-elastic scattering in massive systems, where many degrees of freedom may be involved in the reaction. We especially investigate the effects of single, double and triple phonon excitations on the quasi-elastic scattering for $^{48}$Ti,$^{54}$Cr,$^{56}$Fe,$^{64}$Ni and $^{70}$Zn$+^{208}$Pb systems, for which the experimental cross sections have been measured recently. We show that the present coupled-channels calculations well account for the overall width of the experimental barrier distribution for these systems. In particular, it is shown that the calculations taking into account single quadrupole phonon excitations in $^{48}$Ti and triple octupole phonon excitations in $^{208}$Pb reasonably well reproduce the experimental quasi-elastic cross section and barrier distribution for the $^{48}$Ti$+^{208}$Pb reaction. On the other hand, $^{54}$Cr,$^{56}$Fe,$^{64}$Ni and $^{70}$Zn$+^{208}$Pb systems seem to require the double quadrupole phonon excitations in the projectiles in order to reproduce the experimental data.

description: We solve, numerically, the massless spin-2 equations, written in terms of a gauge based on the properties of conformal geodesics, in a neighbourhood of spatial infinity using spectral methods in both space and time.

Moreover, we use the convergence rates of the numerical solutions to read-off their regularity properties.

description: Context: Software development is a complex socio-technical endeavor that involves coordinating different disciplines and skill sets. Practitioners experiment with and adopt processes and practices with a goal of making their work more effective. Objective: To observe, describe, and analyze software development processes and practices in an industrial setting. Our goal is to generate a descriptive theory of software engineering development, which is rooted in empirical data. Method: Following Constructivist Grounded Theory, we conducted a 2.5 year participant-observation of eight software projects at Pivotal, a software development company. We interviewed 33 software engineers, interaction designers, and product managers, and analyzed one year of retrospection topics. We iterated between data collection, data analysis and theoretical sampling until achieving theoretical saturation and generating a descriptive theory. Results: 1) This research introduces a descriptive theory of Sustainable Software Development. The theory encompasses principles, policies, and practices aiming at removing knowledge silos and improving code quality, hence leading to development sustainability. 2) At the heart of Sustainable Software Development is team code ownership. This research widens our understanding of team code ownership. Developers achieve higher team code ownership when they understand the system context, have contributed to the code in question, perceive code quality as high, believe the product will satisfy the user needs, and perceive high team cohesion. 3) This research introduces the first evidence-based waste taxonomy, identifying eight wastes along with causes and tensions, and compares it with Lean Software Development’s waste taxonomy. Conclusion: The Sustainable Software Development theory refines and extends our understanding of Extreme Programming by adding principles, policies, and practices (including Overlapping Pair Rotation) and aligning them with the business goal of sustainability. One key aspect of the theory is team code ownership, which is rooted in numerous cognitive, emotional, contextual and technical factors and cannot be achieved simply by policy. Another key dimension is waste identification and elimination, which has led to a new taxonomy of waste. Overall, this research contributes to the field of software engineering by providing new insights, rooted in empirical data, into how a software organization leverages and extends Extreme Programming to achieve software sustainability.

description: We introduce a new jet substructure technique called Recursive Soft Drop, which generalizes the Soft Drop algorithm to have multiple grooming layers. Like the original Soft Drop method, this new recursive variant traverses a jet clustering tree to remove soft wide-angle contamination. By enforcing the Soft Drop condition N times, Recursive Soft Drop improves the jet mass resolution for boosted hadronic objects like W bosons, top quarks, and Higgs bosons. We further show that this improvement in mass resolution persists when including the effects of pileup, up to large pileup multiplicities. In the limit that N goes to infinity, the resulting groomed jets formally have zero catchment area. As an alternative approach, we present a bottom-up version of Recursive Soft Drop which, in its local form, is similar to Recursive Soft Drop and which, in its global form, can be used to perform event-wide grooming.

Solving Virasoro Constraints on Integrable Hierarchies via the Kontsevich-Miwa Transform
Creators: name: Semikhatov, A. M.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1992
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We solve Virasoro constraints on the KP hierarchy in terms of minimal conformal models. The constraints we start with are implemented by the Virasoro generators depending on a background charge $Q$. Then the solutions to the constraints are given by the theory which has the same field content as the David-Distler-Kawai theory: it consists of a minimal matter scalar with background charge $Q$, dressed with an extra `Liouville' scalar. The construction is based on a generalization of the Kontsevich parametrization of the KP times achieved by introducing into it Miwa parameters which depend on the value of $Q$. Under the thus defined Kontsevich-Miwa transformation, the Virasoro constraints are proven to be equivalent to a master equation depending on the parameter $Q$. The master equation is further identified with a null-vector decoupling equation. We conjecture that $W^{(n)}$ constraints on the KP hierarchy are similarly related to a level-$n$ decoupling equation. We also consider the master equation for the $N$-reduced KP hierarchies. Several comments are made on a possible relation of the generalized master equation to {\it scaled} Kontsevich-type matrix integrals and on the form the equation takes in higher genera.

Interaction Domain of Digital Device Adoption
Creators: name: Shim, Lorraine Sohee
Publisher: name: Carnegie Mellon University
Year: 2016
Subjects: Design

description: The 21st century is interwoven with technological innovation and expanding networks. In the midst of such change, some designers have advocated that we pause and assess the objects with which we been surround ourselves. Erik Stolterman and his colleagues wrote in Device Landscapes that “The number of interactive digital artifacts is growing surrounding personal lives, and individuals have an increasing need to describe, analyze, and interpret what it means to own, use, and live with a large number of interactive artifacts” (Stolterman et al., 2013). With the emergence and rapid proliferation of technology devices, the divide between tangible and intangible things has been questioned as information and data have emerged as important extensions of personal devices. A sea of informational artifacts, therefore, poses a challenge for users to fully adopt them into their daily interactions. In response, I conducted an inquiry-driven investigation into the domain of device adoption and highlighted seven key themes in the context of current and speculative technology. The exploration was designed on a iterative model of areal definition and research to outline the greater territory. For the sake of a sensible scope, I have limited my target users to millennials who I describe as a unique generation of early adapters that are both active participants and architects of technological change. To present the research outcome, I propose an annotated portfolio-styled exhibition that curates ideations and explorative concepts that have emerged from each round of research. The exhibited concepts simulate a range of device experiences and encourage pedagogic discourse around current and future models of device interactions. They are designed to induce informed reflection and discussion over innovation of digital devices and on how to build true agency over objects that are constantly evolving and changing.

description: We reconsider the problem of the origin of Low-Surface-Brightness (LSB) galaxies within the standard Cold Dark Matter (CDM) cosmological model ($Ω=1, h=0.5$). Taking into account the effect of substructure on the collapse times of low overdensity peaks, we show that the abundance of these peaks is larger than previously expected because of the dragging caused by dynamical friction induced by the presence of small-scale substructure. The number density of these shallow, low-density peaks turns out to be in good agreement with the observed overdensity of the blue LSB galaxies found during recent surveys.

description: The radiation emitted by horizonless exotic compact objects (ECOs), such as wormholes, 2-2-holes, fuzzballs, gravastars, boson stars, collapsed polymers, superspinars etc., is expected to be strongly suppressed when compared to the radiation of black holes. If large primordial curvature fluctuations collapse into such objects instead of black holes, they do not evaporate or evaporate much slower than black holes and could thus constitute all of the dark matter with masses below $M < 10^{-16}M_\odot.$ We reevaluate the relevant experimental constraints for light ECOs in this mass range and show that very large new parameter space down to ECO masses $M\sim 10\,{\rm TeV}$ opens up for light primordial dark matter. A new dedicated experimental program is needed to test this mass range of primordial dark matter.

description: Using first-principles calculations, we investigate the photogalvanic effect in the Weyl semimetal material TaAs. We find colossal photocurrents caused by the Weyl points in the band structuure in a wide range of laser frequency. Our calculations reveal that the photocurrent is predominantly contributed by the three-band transition from the occupied Weyl band to the empty Weyl band via an intermediate band away from the Weyl cone, for excitations both by linearly and circularly polarized lights. Therefore, it is significant to sum over all three-band transitions by considering a full set of Bloch bands (both Weyl bands and trivial bands) in the first-principles band structure while it does not suffice to only consider the two-band direct transition within a Weyl cone. Calculated photoconductivities are well consistent with recent experiment measurements. Our work provides the first first-principles calculation on nonlinear optical phenomena of Weyl semimetals and serves as a deep understanding of the photogalvanic effects in complexed materials.

Surfactant Mediated Tipstreaming as a Tool for Designed Production of Sub-Micron Sized Droplets

description: Microscale tipstreaming is a hydrodynamic phenomenon capable of producing submicron sized droplets within a microfluidic device. Tipstreaming is the ejection of small drops from a liquid thread formed by interfacial tension gradients and convective transport of surfactant. To use tipstreaming in potential applications, including nanoparticle synthesis, chemical detection and separation, occlusion therapy, and others, it is necessary to understand and be able to control the thread formation process. However, there are many technical challenges restricting successful implementation of microscale tipstreaming. This thesis provides several tools and solutions to overcome these technical challenges. Modeling the tipstreaming phenomenon has allowed for prediction of conditions where tipstreaming is expected to occur for an arbitrary oil-water-surfactant system. This facilitates the use of tipstreaming to quickly estimate conditions where thread formation will be observed, reducing the need for experimentally determining the tipstreaming operating diagram. The key component of the model is the reliance on interfacial shape observations to simplify the fluid flow and surfactant transport equations. An active feedback control loop developed in this work is capable of eliminating the production of primary droplets and producing a continuous thread, and therefore a continuous droplet stream. Lastly, droplet size is characterized as a function of the surfactant concentration and liquid flow rates of the two phases leading to control over the size of the droplets being produced. Applying these tools to enhance tipstreaming is crucial in aiding its use in applications.

description: We examine the influence of the superconducting proximity effect on the transport properties of a T-shaped double quantum dot strongly coupled to two normal, nonmagnetic or ferromagnetic leads. We show that the two-stage Kondo screening may be suppressed or enhanced by the presence of pairing correlations, depending on the specific geometric arrangement of the device. We explain our results by invoking effective decrease of Coulomb interactions by proximity effect and find qualitatively correct description in many cases, although spin-filtering effect stemming from spin-dependent Fano-Kondo interference occurs to be surprisingly fragile to the presence of induced pairing. The results are obtained within the numerical renormalization group framework in the limit of large superconducting gap, which allows for a reliable examination of the low-temperature sub-gap properties of the considered system. Nevertheless, finite temperature effects are also taken into account.

Surface Plasmon Hybridization in Novel Plasmonic Phenomena

Publisher: name: Carnegie Mellon University
Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: Mechanical Engineering
subject: FOS: Mechanical engineering

description: We explore the effects of surface plasmon hybridization in graphene nanostructures and silver nanoparticles as applied to novel plasmonic phenomena. The analysis is based on the theory of surface plasmon hybridization under the boundary charges method. This method, which is based in the electrostatic approximation, has been largely used to predict the resonant frequencies in strongly coupled nanoparticle clusters. Here, we extend this formalism to analyze novel plasmonic phenomena such as the blueshift of modes in graphene plasmonics, near-field radiation, thermal transport and plasmon-induced hot carrier generation in silver nanoparticles. Furthermore, we develop analytical solutions for graphene nanodisks and metallic spheres that allow for fast and accurate modeling. The analytic models provide the basis to derive a large number of results, including prediction of hybrid eigenmodes and bandstructures, far-field response, and near-field response under thermally induced fluctuations. We predict that the strong near-filed coupling in graphene nanodisk stacks can induce a blueshift in the resonant frequencies up to the near-infrared part of the spectrum. We find that the strong near-filed coupling between disks can also lead to large values of radiative thermal conductance when thermally induced fluctuations are included. In this regard, an enhancement over the blackbody limit of up to two and four orders of magnitude was observed for co-planar and co-axial disk configurations. The strong coupling between coplanar disks was also explored for the development of plasmonic waveguides by considering long co-planar disk arrays. It was observed that the array posseses great potential for plasmonic waveguiding, with a strong degree of confinement for disks smaller than 200 nm. Thermal activation of the guided modes showed a thermal conductivity of up to 4.5 W/m K and thermal diffusivity of up to 1:4 x 10-3 m2/s. The large values of thermal diffusivity suggest the potential of graphene disk waveguides for thermotronic interconnects. The plasmon-induced hot carrier generation in silver nanosphere dimers was also studied. The modeling considered analytical solution for metallic nanospheres, from which the electrostatic potential of each sphere was obtained. Using these results, the hot carrier generation was explored under the basis of the Fermi golden rule. The results show a large number of hot carriers at the low frequency modes. This values exceed the number of generated hot carriers on a single sphere. The energy distribution of photogenerated electrons and holes showed a large energy gap that can be explored in photocatalysis and photovoltaic energy conversion.

description: In this paper we introduce and analyze a class of diffusion type equations related to certain non-Markovian stochastic processes. We start from the forward drift equation which is made non-local in time by the introduction of a suitable chosen memory kernel K(t). The resulting non-Markovian equation can be interpreted in a natural way as the evolution equation of the marginal density function of a random time process l(t). We then consider the subordinated process Y(t)=X(l(t)) where X(t) is a Markovian diffusion. The corresponding time evolution of the marginal density function of Y(t) is governed by a non-Markovian Fokker-Planck equation which involves the memory kernel K(t). We develop several applications and derive the exact solutions. We consider different stochastic models for the given equations providing path simulations.

description: Perspectives and value systems inform our views of antenatal care and childbirth, influencing how they are understood and how care is organised. Professional, academic, institutional and cultural views all influence what we consider maternity care to be, how it should be delivered, and how experiences and outcomes associated with it are measured. The objective of this study was to analyse women's lived experiences of antenatal care within NHS England during the COVID-19 pandemic. In particular, I sought to understand how the continuity of the care women received influenced women’s experiences, with the aim of identifying areas for improvement with respect to well-being and satisfaction with care. I conducted semi-structured interviews with 6 women who had given birth up to 24 months prior. I analysed transcribed texts using a reflexive thematic approach, undertaken through a social constructionist lens. I developed three themes in the analysis. These were: the impacts of poor communication, the impacts of not being heard, and fear of the unknown. Participants emphasised the need for a person-centred care model and more specifically, a midwife-led continuity of care model. Early antenatal care and late antenatal care were identified as two critical periods of care when women require the greatest levels of advocacy and support. Based on this analysis,the NHS maternity framework could make improvements to information organisation and sharing, the encouragement of active patient participation in care, and the promotion of shared decision-making. Greater attention to how holistic perspectives and medical perspectives could be blended to broaden understandings of what successful birth experiences could be, is required to validate women's antenatal needs and subsequently improve maternity care outcomes.

description: Complex coupled thermo-hydromechanical (THM) loading paths are expected to occur in clay rocks which serve as host formations for geological radioactive waste repositories. Exothermic waste packages heat the rock, causing thermal strains and temperature induced pore pressure build-up. The drifts are designed in such a way as to limit these effects. One has to anticipate failure and fracturing of the material, should pore pressures exceed the tensile resistance of the rock. To characterise the behaviour of the Callovo-Oxfordian claystone (COx) under effective tension and to quantify the tensile failure criterion, a laboratory program is carried out in this work. THM loading paths which correspond to the expected in situ conditions are recreated in the laboratory. To this end, a special triaxial system was developed, which allows the independent control of radial and axial stresses, as well as of pore pressure and temperature of rock specimens. More importantly, the device allows one to maintain axial effective tension on a specimen. Saturated cylindrical claystone specimens were tested in undrained conditions under constrained lateral deformation and under nearly constant axial stress. The specimens were heated until the induced pore pressures created effective tensile stresses and ultimately fractured the material. The failure happened at average axial effective tensile stresses around 3.0 MPa. Fracturing under different lateral total stresses allows one to describe the failure with a Hoek-Brown or Fairhurst's generalized Griffith criterion. Measured axial extension strains are analysed based on a transversely isotropic thermo-poroelastic constitutive model, which is able to satisfactorily reproduce the observed behaviour.

description: Human activities have caused biodiversity to decline at an alarming rate in recentdecades, with land and sea use changes, overexploitation of natural resources,pollution, invasive alien species and climate change as the main drivers (IPBES, 2019).The resulting numbers speak for themselves: 75% of the Earth’s surface has beensignificantly altered, global wildlife populations have declined by 69% in the last fiftyyears, and pollution is threatening all ecosystems, for instance, 90% of ocean speciesthat were assessed are adversely affected by plastic pollution (Tekman et al., 2022;WWF, 2022).To address the triple planetary crisis, and to put nature on a path to recovery,governments adopted the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF) inDecember 2022. Amongst the several provisions of the document, Target 3 calls forthe protection and effective conservation of at least 30% of the planet by 2030, whileTarget 1 calls for all areas to be under participatory, integrated and biodiversity inclusivespatial planning and/or effective management processes (CBD, 2022).Protected areas have become the cornerstone for biodiversity conservation worldwide.They need to protect key habitats and species, and simultaneously support naturalprocesses across various landscapes. However, with humans present and invested inmost land- and seascapes, protected areas need to be compatible with many differentcircumstances and surroundings (Hughes & Grumbine, 2023; IPBES, 2019). Here iswhere RECONNECT can contribute with key insights and support the implementationof the Global Biodiversity Framework.

description: We consider a channel of an incompressible fractional-quantum-Hall-effect (FQHE) liquid containing an island of another FQHE liquid. It is predicted that the resistance of this channel will be periodic in the flux through the island, with the period equal to an odd integer multiple of the fundamental flux quantum, $ϕ_{0}=hc/e$. The multiplicity depends on the quasiparticle charges of the two FQHE liquids.

description: Despite decades of research into developing abstract security advice and improving interfaces, users still struggle to make passwords. Users frequently create passwords that are predictable for attackers or make other decisions (e.g., reusing the same password across accounts) that harm their security. In this thesis, I use data-driven methods to better understand how users choose passwords and how attackers guess passwords. I then combine these insights into a better password-strength meter that provides real-time, data-driven feedback about the user’s candidate password. I first quantify the impact on password security and usability of showing users different passwordstrength meters that score passwords using basic heuristics. I find in a 2,931-participant online study that meters that score passwords stringently and present their strength estimates visually lead users to create stronger passwords without significantly impacting password memorability. Second, to better understand how attackers guess passwords, I perform comprehensive experiments on password-cracking approaches. I find that simply running these approaches in their default configuration is insufficient, but considering multiple well-configured approaches in parallel can serve as a proxy for guessing by an expert in password forensics. The third and fourth sections of this thesis delve further into how users choose passwords. Through a series of analyses, I pinpoint ways in which users structure semantically significant content in their passwords. I also examine the relationship between users’ perceptions of password security and passwords’ actual security, finding that while users often correctly judge the security impact of individual password characteristics, wide variance in their understanding of attackers may lead users to judge predictable passwords as sufficiently strong. Finally, I integrate these insights into an open-source password-strength meter that gives users data-driven feedback about their specific password. I evaluate this meter through a ten-participant laboratory study and 4,509-participant online study.

description: Access conditions for full suppression of Edge Localised Modes (ELMs) by Magnetic Perturbations (MP) in low density high confinement mode (H-mode) plasmas are studied in the ASDEX Upgrade tokamak. The main empirical requirements for full ELM suppression in our experiments are: 1. The poloidal spectrum of the MP must be aligned for best plasma response from weakly stable kink-modes, which amplify the perturbation, 2. The plasma edge density must be below a critical value, $3.3 \times 10^{19}$~m$^{-3}$. The edge collisionality is in the range $ν^*_i = 0.15-0.42$ (ions) and $ν^*_e = 0.15-0.25$ (electrons). However, our data does not show that the edge collisionality is the critical parameter that governs access to ELM suppression. 3. The pedestal pressure must be kept sufficiently low to avoid destabilisation of small ELMs. This requirement implies a systematic reduction of pedestal pressure of typically 30\% compared to unmitigated ELMy H-mode in otherwise similar plasmas. 4. The edge safety factor $q_{95}$ lies within a certain window. Within the range probed so far, $q_{95}=3.5-4.2$, one such window, $q_{95}=3.57-3.95$ has been identified. Within the range of plasma rotation encountered so far, no apparent threshold of plasma rotation for ELM suppression is found. This includes cases with large cross field electron flow in the entire pedestal region, for which two-fluid MHD models predict that the resistive plasma response to the applied MP is shielded.

description: We diagonalize the anti-ferroelectric XXZ-Hamiltonian directly in the thermodynamic limit, where the model becomes invariant under the action of affine U_q( sl(2) ). Our method is based on the representation theory of quantum affine algebras, the related vertex operators and KZ equation, and thereby bypasses the usual process of starting from a finite lattice, taking the thermodynamic limit and filling the Dirac sea. From recent results on the algebraic structure of the corner transfer matrix of the model, we obtain the vacuum vector of the Hamiltonian. The rest of the eigenvectors are obtained by applying the vertex operators, which act as particle creation operators in the space of eigenvectors. We check the agreement of our results with those obtained using the Bethe Ansatz in a number of cases, and with others obtained in the scaling limit --- the $su(2)$-invariant Thirring model.
