description: We investigate $ϕ^{2n+1}$ deformations of the generalized free theory in the $ε$ expansion, where the canonical kinetic term is generalized to a higher-derivative version. For $n=1$, we use the conformal multiplet recombination method to determine the leading anomalous dimensions of the fundamental scalar operator $ϕ$ and the bilinear composite operators $\mathcal J$. Then we extend the $n=1$ analysis to the Potts model with $S_{N+1}$ symmetry and its higher-derivative generalization, in which $ϕ$ is promoted to an $N$-component field. We further examine the Chew-Frautschi plots and their $N$ dependence. However, for each integer $n>1$, the leading anomalous dimensions of $ϕ$ and $ \mathcal{J}$ are not fully determined and contain one unconstrained constant, which in the canonical cases can be fixed by the results from the traditional diagrammatic method. In all cases, we verify that the multiplet-recombination results are consistent with crossing symmetry using the analytic bootstrap methods.

description: Photoproduction of mesons is an excellent tool for the study of nucleon resonances. Complementary to pion induced reactions, photoproduction on the free proton contributes to the determination of the basic properties of nucleon resonances like excitation energy, decay widths, spin, and the coupling to the photon. Photoproduction from light nuclei, in particular from the deuteron, reveals the isospin structure of the electromagnetic excitation of the nucleon. During the last few years, progress in this field has been substantial. New accelerator facilities combined with state-of-the-art detector technologies have pushed the experiments to unprecedented sensitivity and precision. The experimental progress has been accompanied by new developments for the reaction models, necessary to extract the properties of the nucleon states, and for modern hadron models which try to connect these properties to QCD. The emphasis of this review lies on the experimental side and focuses on experiments aiming at precise studies of the low-lying nucleon resonances.

description: Driven by the recent experimental hints of lepton-flavor-universality violation in the bottom-quark sector, we consider a simple extension of the Standard Model (SM) with an additional vector leptoquark $V_{\rm LQ}({\bf 3},{\bf 1},2/3)$ and a scalar diquark $S_{\rm DQ}({\bf 6},{\bf 1},4/3)$ under the SM gauge group $SU(3)_c\times SU(2)_L\times U(1)_Y$, in order to simultaneously explain the $b \to s \ell^+ \ell^-$ (with $\ell=e,μ$) and $b \to c l^- \bar ν_l$ (with $l=e,μ,τ$) flavor anomalies, as well as to generate small neutrino masses through a two-loop radiative mechanism. We perform a global fit to all the relevant and up-to-date $b \to s \ell^+ \ell^-$ and $b \to c l^- \bar ν_l$ data under the assumption that the leptoquark couples predominantly to second and third-generation SM fermions. We then look over the implications of the allowed parameter space on lepton-flavor-violating $B$ and $τ$ decay modes, such as $B_s \to l^+_i l^-_j, \ B \to K^{(*)} l^+_i l^-_j, \ B_s \to ϕl^+_i l^-_j$, $Υ(nS) \to μτ$ and $τ\to μγ$, $τ\to μϕ(η^{(\prime)})$, respectively. Minimally extending this model by adding a fermion singlet $χ({\bf 1},{\bf 1},0)$ also explains the ANITA anomalous upgoing events. Furthermore, we provide complementary constraints on leptoquark and diquark couplings from high-energy collider and other low-energy experiments to test this model.

description: We reinvestigate the thermodynamics of black objects (holes and strings) in four-dimensional braneworld models that are originally constructed by Emparan, Horowitz and Myers based on the anti-de Sitter (AdS) C-metric. After proving the uniqueness of slicing the AdS C-metric, we derive thermodynamic quantities of the black objects by means of the Euclidean formulation and find that we have no necessity of requiring any regularization to calculate their classical action. We show that there exist the Bekenstein-Hawking law and the thermodynamic first law. The thermodynamic mass of the localized black hole on a flat brane is negative, and it differs from the one previously derived. We discuss the thermodynamic stabilities and show that the BTZ black string is more stable than the localized black holes in a canonical ensemble, except for an extreme case. We also find a braneworld analogue of the Hawking-Page transition between the BTZ black string and thermal AdS branes. The localized black holes on a de Sitter brane is discussed by considering Nariai instanton, comparing the study of "black cigar" in the five-dimensional braneworld model.

description: Understanding terrestrial water storage (TWS) dynamics and associated drivers (e.g., climate variability, vegetation change, and human activities) across climate zones is essential for designing water resources management strategies in a changing environment. This study estimated TWS anomalies (TWSAs) based on the corrected Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) gravity satellite data and derived driving factors for 214 watersheds across six climate zones in China. We evaluated the long-term trends and stationarities of TWSAs from 2004 to 2014 using the Mann–Kendall trend test and Augmented Dickey-Fuller stationarity test, respectively, and identified the key driving factors for TWSAs using the partial correlation analysis. The results indicated that increased TWSAs were observed in watersheds in tropical and subtropical climate zones, while decreased TWSAs were found in alpine and warm temperate watersheds. For tropical watersheds, increases in TWS were caused by increasing water conservation capacity as a result of large-scale plantations and the implementation of natural forest protection programs. For subtropical watersheds, TWS increments were driven by increasing precipitation and forestation. The decreasing tendency in TWS in warm temperate watersheds was related to intensive human activities. In the cold temperate zone, increased precipitation and soil moisture resulting from accelerated and advanced melting of frozen soils outweigh the above-ground evapotranspiration losses, which consequently led to the upward tendency in TWS in some watersheds (e.g., Xiaoxing’anling mountains). In the alpine climate zone, significant declines in TWS were caused by declined precipitation and soil moisture and increased evapotranspiration and glacier retreats due to global warming, as well as increased agriculture activities. These findings can provide critical scientific evidence and guidance for policymakers to design adaptive strategies and plans for watershed-scale water resources and forest management in different climate zones.

description: We consider the space-time variation of gauge couplings in brane-world models induced by the coupling to a bulk scalar field. A variation is generated by the running of the gauge couplings with energy and a conformal anomaly while going from the Jordan to the Einstein frame. We indicate that the one-loop corrections cancel implying that one obtains a variation of the fine structure constant by either directly coupling the gauge fields to the bulk scalar field or having bulk scalar field dependent Yukawa couplings. Taking into account the cosmological dynamics of the bulk scalar field, we constrain the strength of the gauge coupling dependence on the bulk scalar field and relate it to modifications of gravity at low energy.

We benchmark our simulator by probing a ferromagnetic to paramagnetic dynamical phase transition in the Lipkin-Meshkov-Glick (LMG) model, a collective XXZ model plus additional transverse and longitudinal fields, via Rabi spectroscopy. We experimentally reconstruct the boundary between the dynamical phases, which is in good agreement with mean-field theoretical predictions. Our work introduces new possibilities in quantum simulation of anisotropic spin-spin interactions and quantum metrology enhanced by many-body entanglement.

description: Surface electromyography (EMG) serves as a pivotal tool in hand gesture recognition and human-computer interaction, offering a non-invasive means of signal acquisition. This study presents a novel methodology for classifying hand gestures using EMG signals. To address the challenges associated with feature extraction where, we explored 23 distinct morphological, time domain and frequency domain feature extraction techniques. However, the substantial size of the features may increase the computational complexity issues that can hinder machine learning algorithm performance. We employ an efficient feature selection approach, specifically an extra tree classifier, to mitigate this. The selected potential feature fed into the various machine learning-based classification algorithms where our model achieved 97.43\% accuracy with the KNN algorithm and selected feature. By leveraging a comprehensive feature extraction and selection strategy, our methodology enhances the accuracy and usability of EMG-based hand gesture recognition systems. The higher performance accuracy proves the effectiveness of the proposed model over the existing system. \keywords{EMG signal, machine learning approach, hand gesture recognition.

description: Low-dimensional materials have attracted significant attentions over the past decade. To discover new low-dimensional materials, high-throughout screening methods have been applied in different materials databases. For this purpose, the reliability of dimensionality identification is therefore highly important. In this work, we find that the existence of self-penetrating nets may lead to incorrect results by previous methods. In stead of this, we use the quotient graph to analysis the topologies of structures and compute their dimensionalities. Based on the quotient graph, we can calculate not only the dimensionality but also the multiplicity of self-penetrating structures. As a demonstration, we screened the Crystallography Open Database using our method and found hundreds of structures with different dimensionalities and high multiplicities up to eleven.

description: The Luxembourg agreement of 2005 marked a new direction for EU agriculture with the decoupling of direct support payments for production. Under the CAP reform of 2013, Member States had the option to retain an element of coupled support for agriculture. Building on a previous study from Jansson et al. (2018), this study analyses the regional effects for beef production resulting from a redistribution of voluntary coupled supports (VCS) through area payments in the national budgets. The redistribution of VCS payments is projected to result in a modest reduction in the income from beef production, the EU beef herd size as well as the total Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions form EU beef production. However, these impacts vary across EU regions with some regions marginally increasing their beef production levels while other regions are projected to significantly reduce their beef meat activities. Especially Member States which had retained some form of VCS, a reduction in beef herd size and income is likely while those countries that had opted to fully decouple payments in 2005 are projected to show a slight increase in herd size and income. Generally, this leads to a decrease of the total GHG emissions, yet, an increase in GHG emission per livestock unit is seen due to a change in herd composition, production or feed intensity. From the results, it can be inferred that VCS payments for the beef sector have the potential to encourage beef production in regions where it may be less profitable to do so (negative income before the redistribution of VCS in the national budgets). Therefore, the decoupling of the remaining coupled supports within the CAP would likely lead to a minor restructuring of beef production within the EU.

description: In an earlier paper of the authors it was shown that the sheaf theoretically based recently developed abstract differential geometry of the first author can in an easy and natural manner incorporate singularities on arbitrary closed nowhere dense sets in Euclidean spaces, singularities which therefore can have arbitrary large positive Lebesgue measure. As also shown, one can construct in such a singular context a de Rham cohomology, as well as a short exponential sequence, both of which are fundamental in differential geometry. In this paper, these results are significantly strengthened, motivated by the so called space-time foam structures in general relativity, where singularities can be dense. In fact, this time one can deal with singularities on arbitrary sets, provided that their complementaries are dense, as well. In particular, the cardinal of the set of singularities can be larger than that of the nonsingular points.
Complex sliding flows of yield-stress fluids

Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Fluid Dynamics (physics.flu-dyn)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A theoretical and numerical study of complex sliding flows of yield-stress fluids is presented. Yield-stress fluids are known to slide over solid surfaces if the tangential stress exceeds the {\it sliding yield stress}. The sliding may occur due to various microscopic phenomena such as the formation of a infinitesimal lubrication layer of the solvent and/or elastic deformation of the suspended soft particles in the vicinity of the solid surfaces. This leads to a `stick-slip' law which complicates the modelling and analysis of the hydrodynamic characteristics of the yield-stress fluid flow. In the present study, we formulate the problem of sliding flow beyond one-dimensional rheometric flows. Then, a numerical scheme based on the augmented Lagrangian method is presented to attack these kind of problems. Theoretical tools are developed for analysing the flow/no-flow limit. The whole framework is benchmarked in planar Poiseuille flow and validated against analytical solutions. Then two more complex physical problems are investigated: slippery particle sedimentation and pressure-driven sliding flow in porous media. The {\it yield limit} is addressed in detail for both flow cases. In the particle sedimentation problem, method of characteristics---slipline method---in the presence of slip is revisited from the perfectly-plastic mechanics and used as a helpful tool in addressing the yield limit. Finally, flows through model and randomized porous media are studied. The randomized configuration is chosen to capture more sophisticated aspects of the yield-stress fluid flows in porous media at the yield limit---channelization.

The effects of different chain lengths and concentrations of the cationic surfactant CnTAB on the performance of CnTAB–SiO₂ nanofluids are examined to gain a comprehensive understanding of their ability to stabilize foam. The results indicate enhanced foam stability in the presence of SiO₂ nanoparticles. These findings help to better understand foam stabilization and its potential in various industrial applications such as enhanced oil recovery and foam-based separation processes.

description: Decay or annihilation products of superheavy dark matter (SHDM) could be responsible for the end of the Ultra-High Energy Cosmic Ray (UHECR) spectrum. In this case, the south array of the Pierre Auger Observatory should observe in the future a significant anisotropy of UHECR arrival directions towards the galactic center. Here we use the already existing data of the SUGAR array to test this possibility. If decaying SHDM is distributed according a Navarro-Frenk-White (NFW) dark matter profile with core radius R_c=15 kpc and is responsible only for UHECRs above 6*10^{19} eV, i.e. the AGASA excess, then the arrival directions measured by the SUGAR array have a probability of ~10% to be consistent with this model. By contrast, the model of annihilating SHDM is disfavoured at least at 99% CL by the SUGAR data, if the smooth component of the DM dominates the signal.

description: The Great Plains—that huge tier of counties extending from Texas to Montana and North Dakota—continues its decades-long decline in population. Changes in agriculture together with a lack of economic alternatives and many of the amenities that drive rural population growth today are responsible. As a result, community services become more expensive to provide, the region’s population ages, and future prosperity becomes even more difficult to achieve. Turning the situation around and making the Plains sustainable will require addressing economic, environmental, and social concerns.

description: Additive manufacturing has revolutionized the building of materials direct from design, allowing high resolution rapid prototyping in complex 3D designs with many materials. 3D printing hasenabled high strength damage-tolerant structures, bioprinted artificial organs and tissues, ultralight metals, medicine, education, prosthetics, architecture, consumer electronics,and as a prototyping tool for engineers and hobbyists alike. 3D printing has emerged as a useful tool for complex electrode and material assembly method for batteries and supercapacitors in recent years. The field initially grew from extrusion-based methods such as fused deposition modelling, and evolved to photopolymerization printing of intricate composites, while supercapacitor technologies less sensitive to solvents more often involved material jetting processes. Underpinning every part of a 3D printable battery and many other devices is the printing method and the nature of the feed material. Material purity, printing fidelity, accuracy, complexity, and the ability to form conductive, ceramic, glassy, or solvent-stable plastics relies on the nature of the feed material or composite to such an extent, that the future of 3D printable batteries and electrochemical energy storage devices will depend on materials and printing methods that are co-operatively informed by the requirements of the device and how it is fabricated. In this Perspective, we address the materials and methods requirements in 3D printable batteries and supercapacitors and outline requirements for the future of the field by linking existing performance limitations to the requirements of printable energy storage materials, casing materials and the direct printing of electrodes and electrolytes. We also look to the future by taking inspiration from additive manufacturing, to posit links between materials and printing methods to allow new form factor cells.

description: The Great Plains will be affected by the 1996 farm legislation in important ways. The transition to the new law could increase demands for farm inputs and services in the Great Plains by $1.2 to $1.4 billion per year (3.8 to 4.6 percent)—enough to make the difference between decline and growth for many farm-related sectors. The residual returns to the farm sector may decline under the 1996 law if demands for agricultural products continue to grow at their historical rates. But residual returns to the sector could increase if demands grow at slightly more than their historical rates, as is likely with the progressive implementation of the North American Free Trade Agreement and World Trade Organization pacts liberalizing trade in agricultural products. Increasing the rate of growth of farm product demands by an average of 1.4 percent per year over less than 4 years would restore longrun net returns to the favorable levels of the 1995 base year.

description: After long arguments between positivism and falsificationism, the verification of universal hypotheses was replaced with the confirmation of uncertain major premises. Unfortunately, Hemple discovered the Raven Paradox (RP). Then, Carnap used the logical probability increment as the confirmation measure. So far, many confirmation measures have been proposed. Measure F among them proposed by Kemeny and Oppenheim possesses symmetries and asymmetries proposed by Elles and Fitelson, monotonicity proposed by Greco et al., and normalizing property suggested by many researchers. Based on the semantic information theory, a measure b* similar to F is derived from the medical test. Like the likelihood ratio, b* and F can only indicate the quality of channels or the testing means instead of the quality of probability predictions. And, it is still not easy to use b*, F, or another measure to clarify the RP. For this reason, measure c* similar to the correct rate is derived. The c* has the simple form: (a-c)/max(a, c); it supports the Nicod Criterion and undermines the Equivalence Condition, and hence, can be used to eliminate the RP. Some examples are provided to show why it is difficult to use one of popular confirmation measures to eliminate the RP. Measure F, b*, and c* indicate that fewer counterexamples' existence is more essential than more positive examples' existence, and hence, are compatible with Popper's falsification thought.

description: We describe a technique to derive constraints on the differential emission measure (DEM) distribution, a measure of the temperature distribution, of collisionally ionized hot plasmas from their X-ray emission line spectra. This technique involves fitting spectra using a number of components, each of which is the entire X-ray line emission spectrum for a single ion. It is applicable to high-resolution X-ray spectra of any collisionally ionized plasma and particularly useful for spectra in which the emission lines are broadened and blended such as those of the winds of hot stars. This method does not require that any explicit assumptions about the form of the DEM distribution be made and is easily automated.

description: Agricultural restructuring has dramatically redistributed population in the Great Plains. The region’s few counties with large urban centers have grown while the majority of counties, mostly rural, have declined. Prolonged outmigration of young families has distorted the age distribution in many counties and further perpetuated population loss by creating high proportions of elderly and by increasing natural decline.

description: This study investigated how time to oneself (solitude) is experienced under conditions of extended togetherness with household members during the pandemic. Both structural (living arrangements) and qualitative characteristics (relationship quality, conflict) were examined for their association with solitude desire and daily solitude-affect links. We expected that people living with others and those with more high-quality as well as those with more conflictual relationships would report better affect quality when experiencing solitude. A Canadian adult lifespan sample (N = 141; Mage = 38.43 years, SDage = 17.51; 81 % female; 73% White; data collected from April to August 2020) provided information on household size and relationship characteristics and completed repeated daily life assessments of solitude desire, solitude, and affect. Findings show that living arrangements were not associated with an increased desire for solitude or better affect quality from solitude. Individuals reporting higher relationship quality and individuals reporting more conflict showed more favorable affect quality on days when they had time in solitude than individuals reporting lower quality relationships and lower conflict. Findings add to the growing solitude literature by delineating who and under what conditions seeks and benefits from solitude.

description: This paper seeks to construct a representation of the algebra of angular momentum (SU(2) algebra) in terms of the operator relations corresponding to Gentile statistics in which one quantum state can be occupied by $n$ particles. First, we present an operator realization of Gentile statistics. Then, we propose a representation of angular momenta. The result shows that there exist certain underlying connections between the operator realization of Gentile statistics and the angular momentum (SU(2)) algebra.

Net Migration in the Great Plains Increasingly Linked to Natural Amenities and Suburbanization

Year: 1998
Subjects: Community/Rural/Urban Development

description: Over 90 percent of counties in the Great Plains experienced an upward trend in net migration from the mid-1980’s to the mid- 1990’s, in the form of lower net outmigration, higher net inmigration, or a switch from out- to inmigration. Net outmigration persisted in sparsely settled, isolated areas and in areas where jobs depended on the extraction of energy resources. However, migration in the mid-1990’s was associated less with rural-urban location and employment and more with increased commuting from suburban fringe counties and movement to the few areas in the region with high natural amenities.

description: Atomistic van der Waals heterostacks are ideal systems for high-temperature exciton condensation because of large exciton binding energies and long lifetimes. Charge transport and electron energy-loss spectroscopy showed first evidence of excitonic many-body states in such two-dimensional materials. Pure optical studies, the most obvious way to access the phase diagram of photogenerated excitons have been elusive. We observe several criticalities in photogenerated exciton ensembles hosted in MoSe2-WSe2 heterostacks with respect to photoluminescence intensity, linewidth, and temporal coherence pointing towards the transition to a coherent quantum state. For this state, the occupation is 100 percent and the exciton diffusion length is increased. The phenomena survive above 10 kelvin, consistent with the predicted critical condensation temperature. Our study provides a first phase-diagram of many-body interlayer exciton states including Bose Einstein condensation.

description: We study neutrino-induced nucleon knockout from nuclei. Expressions for the induced polarization are derived within the framework of the independent-nucleon model and the non-relativistic plane-wave approximation. Large dissimilarities in the nucleon polarization asymmetries are observed between neutrino- and antineutrino-induced processes. These asymmetries represent a potential way to distinguish between neutrinos and antineutrinos in neutral-current neutrino-scattering on nuclei. We discuss astrophysical applications of these polarization asymmetries. Our findings are illustrated for neutrino scattering on $^{16}$O and $^{208}$Pb.

description: Manufacturing has been expanding in the rural Great Plains, more rapidly than in the rest of the rural United States, but much of the expansion has been to larger, growing places and much has been in meat packing, which tends to hire low-skill workers—a group in relatively short supply in much of the region. Manufacturers in areas of substantial population loss report problems with finding labor and, even more often, with the attractiveness of the area to managers and professionals. The rural Great Plains seems particularly suited to advanced technology manufacturing, if the problem of attracting managers and professionals could be eased. Manufacturers in the region participate heavily in government programs, but no more so than in other rural regions. Those in areas of decline have tended to receive greater support.

description: We present a GPU solution for exact maximal clique enumeration (MCE) that performs a search tree traversal following the Bron-Kerbosch algorithm. Prior works on parallelizing MCE on GPUs perform a breadth-first traversal of the tree, which has limited scalability because of the explosion in the number of tree nodes at deep levels. We propose to parallelize MCE on GPUs by performing depth-first traversal of independent subtrees in parallel. Since MCE suffers from high load imbalance and memory capacity requirements, we propose a worker list for dynamic load balancing, as well as partial induced subgraphs and a compact representation of excluded vertex sets to regulate memory consumption. Our evaluation shows that our GPU implementation on a single GPU outperforms the state-of-the-art parallel CPU implementation by a geometric mean of 4.9x (up to 16.7x), and scales efficiently to multiple GPUs. Our code has been open-sourced to enable further research on accelerating MCE.
