description: With bichromatic fields it is possible to deterministically produce entangled states of trapped ions. In this paper we present a unified analysis of this process for both weak and strong fields, for slow and fast gates. Simple expressions for the fidelity of creating maximally entangled states of two or an arbitrary number of ions under non-ideal conditions are derived and discussed.

description: In this paper and a companion paper we present the DIRTY model, a Monte Carlo radiative transfer code, self-consistently including dust heating and emission, and accounting for the effects of the transient heating of small grains. The code is completely general; the density structure of the dust, the number and type of heating sources, and their geometric configurations can be specified arbitrarily within the model space. Source photons are tracked through the scattering and absorbing medium using Monte Carlo techniques and the effects of multiple scattering are included. The dust scattering, absorbing, and emitting properties are calculated from realistic dust models derived by fitting observed extinction curves in Local Group galaxies including the Magellanic Clouds and the Milky Way. The dust temperature and the emitted dust spectrum are calculated self consistently from the absorbed energy including the effects of temperature fluctuations in small grains. Dust self-absorption is also accounted for, allowing the treatment of high optical depths, by treating photons emitted by the dust as an additional heating source and adopting an iterative radiative transfer scheme. As an illustrative case, we apply the DIRTY radiative transfer code to starburst galaxies wherein the heating sources are derived from stellar evolutionary synthesis models. Within the context of the starburst model, we examine the dependence of the UV to FIR SED, dust temperatures, and dust masses predicted by DIRTY on variations of the input parameters.

description: The Madala hypothesis postulates a new heavy scalar, H, which explains several independent anomalous features seen in ATLAS and CMS data simultaneously. It has already been discussed and constrained in the literature by Run 1 results, and its underlying theory has been explored under the interpretation of a two Higgs doublet model coupled with a scalar singlet, $S$. When applying the hypothesis to Run 2 results, it can be shown that the constraints from the data are compatible with those obtained using Run 1 results.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Fishing disturbance is changing community properties in marine ecosystems worldwide. The Mediterranean basin is not only heavily exploited by fisheries but also witnessing the rapid spreading of alien species, enhanced by the connection with tropical waters provided by the Suez Canal. Thus, both size-structure and species composition of Mediterranean fish communities are presently changing and should be monitored. Size-spectra (the distribution of a community metric across individual body size classes) provide a simple modelling method to capture aspects of marine communities such as trophic structure and energy flow. Furthermore, biomass size-spectra parameters have often been proposed as indicators of fishing exploitation (Kerr and Dickie, 2001). However, biomass size structure, being a highly conservative property of communities, is not always sensitive to disturbance. It is also not informative of changes in species composition. But species diversity and size structure may not be independent within fish communities. In fact, since fish change diet and spatial patterns as they grow in size, different ecological constraints may be determining the number of species coexisting (species richness) and the relative proportion of species abundances (species evenness) at different fish size ranges. These aspects can be explored by means of diversity size-spectra (the distribution of a diversity metric (evenness, richness) across individual body size classes) (Rice and Gislason, 1996). To test the effects of fishing on both size and trait-based aspects of demersal fish communities of the Aegean, we made a spatial comparison between heavily fished and lightly fished areas, having habitat characteristics as similar as possible. In particular, we contrasted the patterns of biomass and species diversity across body size of fish communities in Northern Crete and Cyclades Islands
Phase-field model of vapor-liquid-solid nanowire growth

description: We present a multi-phase-field model to describe quantitatively nanowire growth by the vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) process. The free-energy functional of this model depends on three non-conserved order parameters that distinguish the vapor, liquid, and solid phases. The evolution equations for those order parameters describe basic kinetic processes including the rapid (quasi-instantaneous) equilibration of the liquid catalyst to a droplet shape with constant mean curvature, the slow incorporation of growth atoms at the droplet surface, and crystallization within the droplet. The standard constraint that the sum of the phase fields equals unity and the conservation of the number of catalyst atoms, which relates the catalyst volume to the concentration of growth atoms inside the droplet, are handled via separate Lagrange multipliers. An analysis of the model is presented that rigorously maps the phase-field equations to a desired set of sharp-interface equations for the evolution of the phase boundaries under the constraint of force-balance at three-phase junctions given by the Young-Herring relation that includes torque term related to the anisotropy of the solid-liquid and solid-vapor interface excess free energies. Numerical examples of growth in two dimensions are presented. The simulations reproduce many of the salient features of nanowire growth observed experimentally, including growth normal to the substrate with tapering of the side walls, transitions between different growth orientations, and crawling growth along the substrate.
Evading Representation: The Literature of Contemporary U.S. Anarchism
Creators: name: Hines, Francis
Publisher: name: University of Westminster
Year: 2021

description: Anarchist movements have been a prominent feature of the twenty-first-century political landscape, providing the basis for modes of political engagement that foreground the necessity of unmediated direct action and horizontal organisation, in pursuit of the eradication of all forms of domination. This thesis frames contemporary anarchist movements and subcultures in the United States as sites of literary production, and examines the texts produced in these spaces in terms of their literary functions, resonances and inheritances. It proposes as a theoretical orientation an anarchist literary instrumentalism, which draws extensively on Deleuze and Guattari’s work on representation and the possibilities of a non-representational philosophy. This approach takes anarchism’s critique of representation as the basis for a new approach to texts which casts them as tools in political struggle. Anarchist texts are read for the political effects they produce, and the ways representation is negotiated and, to differing extents, evaded.
In subsequent chapters, attention is turned to a series of formal and generic orientations in contemporary U.S. anarchist literature. First, anarcha-feminist “consent zines” are considered: do-it-yourself texts that develop responses to abuse and interpersonal violence, and in so doing develop an account of an anarchist domesticity. Second, the thesis looks at communiqués and report-backs produced by anarchists during the anti-globalisation movement of the late 1990s and early 2000s: narrative and reflective texts that describe, in terms that manifest the preoccupations of contemporary literature with embodiment and temporality, the experience of collective action on the streets. Finally, the thesis turns to texts associated with nomadic anarchist “dropout cultures”. These texts, including several published by the CrimethInc. collective, are marked by a preoccupation with problems of hypocrisy and complicity: how, they ask, can one live an authentically anarchist life amidst the excesses of American consumer culture? This thesis contends that an instrumentalist approach which, in terms suggested by Deleuze and Guattari, follows texts’ effects rather than seeking to evaluate them, is both a necessary orientation for comprehending contemporary U.S. anarchist literature, and one that is capable of reflecting upon and responding to anarchist political commitments.

description: We show how the Riemann surface $Σ$ of $N=2$ Yang-Mills field theory arises in type II string compactifications on Calabi-Yau threefolds. The relevant local geometry is given by fibrations of ALE spaces. The $3$-branes that give rise to BPS multiplets in the string descend to self-dual strings on the Riemann surface, with tension determined by a canonically fixed Seiberg-Witten differential $λ$. This gives, effectively, a dual formulation of Yang-Mills theory in which gauge bosons and monopoles are treated on equal footing, and represents the rigid analog of type II-heterotic string duality. The existence of BPS states is essentially reduced to a geodesic problem on the Riemann surface with metric $|λ|^2$. This allows us, in particular, to easily determine the spectrum of {\it stable} BPS states in field theory. Moreover, we identify the six-dimensional space $\IR^4\times Σ$ as the world-volume of a five-brane and show that BPS states correspond to two-branes ending on this five-brane.

description: We address the problem of bootstrapping language acquisition for an artificial system similarly to what is observed in experiments with human infants. Our method works by associating meanings to words in manipulation tasks, as a robot interacts with objects and listens to verbal descriptions of the interactions. The model is based on an affordance network, i.e., a mapping between robot actions, robot perceptions, and the perceived effects of these actions upon objects. We extend the affordance model to incorporate spoken words, which allows us to ground the verbal symbols to the execution of actions and the perception of the environment. The model takes verbal descriptions of a task as the input and uses temporal co-occurrence to create links between speech utterances and the involved objects, actions, and effects. We show that the robot is able form useful word-to-meaning associations, even without considering grammatical structure in the learning process and in the presence of recognition errors. These word-to-meaning associations are embedded in the robot's own understanding of its actions. Thus, they can be directly used to instruct the robot to perform tasks and also allow to incorporate context in the speech recognition task. We believe that the encouraging results with our approach may afford robots with a capacity to acquire language descriptors in their operation's environment as well as to shed some light as to how this challenging process develops with human infants.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.By-catch from the shrimp trawl fishery operating in the Colombian Caribbean Sea (CCS) reaches 93%; around 80% of this is discarded. Due to the shallowness (12 to 65 m depth) of the fishing grounds, this discard produces an important energy input to the benthic system that is reflected in an important increase in scavenger abundance. We analyzed the size structure of the benthic and demersal communities that are heavily affected by fishing activity in the northern and southern zones of the CCS. Data were obtained by observers on board the commercial fishing fleet between August 2004 and July 2005. The two zones are very different from taxonomic and environmental standpoints. Normalized biomass size spectra (NBSS) slope values ranged from -0.71 to -1.52. No significant differences (p

description: Consider a joint quantum state of a system and its environment. A measurement on the environment induces a decomposition of the system state. Using algorithmic information theory, we define the preparation information of a pure or mixed state in a given decomposition. We then define an optimal decomposition as a decomposition for which the average preparation information is minimal. The average preparation information for an optimal decomposition characterizes the system-environment correlations. We discuss properties and applications of the concepts introduced above and give several examples.

description: Analysis of the completely determined genomes of the plant-derived Acholeplasma brassicae strain O502 and A. palmae strain J233 revealed that the circular chromosomes are 1,877,792 and 1,554,229 bp in size, have a G + C content of 36 and 29%, and encode 1,690 and 1,439 proteins, respectively. Comparative analysis of these sequences and previously published genomes of A. laidlawii strain PG-8, ‘Candidatus Phytoplasma asteris' strains, ‘Ca. P. australiense' and ‘Ca. P. mali' show a limited shared basic genetic repertoire. The acholeplasma genomes are characterized by a low number of rearrangements, duplication and integration events. Exceptions are the unusual duplication of rRNA operons in A. brassicae and an independently introduced second gene for a single-stranded binding protein in both genera. In contrast to phytoplasmas, the acholeplasma genomes differ by encoding the cell division protein FtsZ, a wide variety of ABC transporters, the F₀F1 ATP synthase, the Rnf-complex, SecG of the Sec-dependent secretion system, a richly equipped repertoire for carbohydrate metabolism, fatty acid, isoprenoid and partial amino acid metabolism. Conserved metabolic proteins encoded in phytoplasma genomes such as the malate dehydrogenase SfcA, several transporters and proteins involved in host-interaction, and virulence-associated effectors were not predicted for the acholeplasmas.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.The natural mortality of exploited fish populations is notoriously difficult to estimate. It is therefore often inferred from Pauly's equation using estimates of growth parameters and ambient temperature. However, contrary to the results derived from multispecies and size-spectra models, Pauly's equation assumes that natural mortality is independent of individual size. This assumption has large implications for size-based fish population models and for the success of size-dependent management measures such as mesh-size regulations. Here we reanalyze the existing empirical estimates of natural mortality using a model where individual size, growth characteristics and ambient temperatures are all accounted for. We find natural mortality to scale significantly with individual body size, asymptotic size, and the von Bertalanffy growth parameter K, and our parameter estimates are not significantly different from those derived from a sizebased fish-community model.

description: Quantum spaces with $\frak{su}(2)$ noncommutativity can be modelled by using a family of $SO(3)$-equivariant differential $^*$-representations. The quantization maps are determined from the combination of the Wigner theorem for $SU(2)$ with the polar decomposition of the quantized plane waves. A tracial star-product, equivalent to the Kontsevich product for the Poisson manifold dual to $\mathfrak{su}(2)$ is obtained from a subfamily of differential $^*$-representations. Noncommutative (scalar) field theories free from UV/IR mixing and whose commutative limit coincides with the usual $ϕ^4$ theory on $\mathbb{R}^3$ are presented. A generalization of the construction to semi-simple possibly non simply connected Lie groups based on their central extensions by suitable abelian Lie groups is discussed.

description: We present solutions describing supersymmetric configurations of 2 or 3 orthogonally intersecting 2-branes and 5-branes of D=11 supergravity. The configurations which preserve 1/4 or 1/8 of maximal supersymmetry are 2+2, 5+5, 2+5, 2+2+2, 5+5+5, 2+2+5 and 2+5+5 (2+2 stands for orthogonal intersection of two 2-branes over a point, etc.; p-branes of the same type intersect over (p-2)-branes). There exists a simple rule which governs the construction of composite supersymmetric p-brane solutions in D=10 and 11 with a separate harmonic function assigned to each constituent 1/2-supersymmetric p-brane. The resulting picture of intersecting p-brane solutions complements their D-brane interpretation in D=10 and seems to support possible existence of a D=11 analogue of D-brane description. The D=11 solution describing intersecting 2-brane and 5-brane reduces in D=10 to a type II string solution corresponding to a fundamental string lying within a solitonic 5-brane (which further reduces to an extremal D=5 black hole). We also discuss a particular D=11 embedding of the extremal D=4 dyonic black hole solution with finite area of horizon.

description: In stochastic thermodynamics, the entropy production of a thermodynamic system is defined by the irreversibility measured by the logarithm of the ratio of the path probabilities in the forward and reverse processes. We derive the relation between the irreversibility and the entropy production starting from the deterministic equations of motion of the whole system consisting of a physical system and a surrounding thermal environment. The physical system is driven by a nonconservative force. The derivation assumes the Markov approximation that the environmental degrees of freedom equilibrate instantaneously. Our approach concerns the irreversibility of the whole system not only the irreversibility of the physical system only. This approach provides a guideline for the choice of the proper reverse process to a given forward process. We demonstrate our idea with an example of a charged particle in the presence of a time-varying magnetic field.

description: The highly infectious Tomato brown rugose fruit virus (ToBRFV) is a new viral threat to tomato production worldwide. In production, the very easy mechanical transmissibility combined with the high resistance in vitro is of great concern. We tested: (i) whether household cleaning products, commercial agricultural detergents, and an authorized plant protectant are suitable for cleaning contaminated clothing, and (ii) whether infectious viruses remain in the resulting cleaning water. The evaluation of the sanitation effect was performed using bioassays, by counting ToBRFV-associated necrotic local lesions on Nicotiana tabacum cv. Xanthi NN. For this purpose, leaves were mechanically inoculated with treated fabrics and cleaning solutions which would normally be discharged to the sewer system. The detergents Fadex H+ (FH) and Menno Hortisept Clean Plus, as well as the disinfectant Menno Florades (MF), led to an almost complete removal of ToBRFV from contaminated fabrics, corresponding to a reduction in local lesions by 99.94–99.96%. In contrast, common household cleaning products (Spee ActivGel (SAG), Vanish Oxi Action Gel (VO) did not effectively remove the pathogen from the fabric, where the reduction was 45.1% and 89.7%, respectively. In particular, cleaning solutions after the use of household cleaners were highly contaminated with ToBRFV. After a 16-h treatment with the disinfectant MF, infectious ToBRFV was no longer present in VO, FH, and MF cleaning solutions, as demonstrated by extensive bioassays.

Then, we derive necessary conditions for a state to be distillable as well as to be activable. These conditions turn out to be also sufficient for a certain family of multi-qubit states. We use these results to explicitely to construct states displaying novel properties related to bound entanglement and its activation.

description: Development of efficient catalytic methods for the hydrolysis of cellulose is a major research challenge in sustainable biofuel and polymer areas. In this study five hydroxy sulfonic acids were studied as simple model compounds for cellulase enzyme for the hydrolysis of cellulose. The catalytic activities were measured by analysis of total reducing sugar (TRS) yields produced in a series of reactions carried out at 150–190 °C using 0.050 M aqueous hydroxy sulfonic acid solutions. The highest catalytic activity was observed with isethionic acid, producing 62.7% TRS yield at 180 °C after 4 hr. In the second phase of the work, Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations were used to study the interactions between hydroxy sulfonic acids and cellulose model compound D-cellobiose to supplement the experimental results. The D-cellobiose – hydroxy sulfonic binding energies and the distance between glycosidic oxygen and -SO3H acidic H were evaluated and the -SO3H to glycosidic oxygen distance was identified as the more important parameter co-related to the catalytic activity. The isethionic acid with highest cellulose hydrolysis activity showed the shortest -SO3H to glycosidic oxygen distance of 1.744 Å.

description: We consider a game in which each player must find a compromise between more daring strategies that carry a high risk for him to be eliminated, and more cautious ones that, however, reduce his final score. For two symmetric players this game was originally formulated in 1961 by Dresher, who modeled a duel between two opponents. The game has also been of interest in the description of athletic competitions. We extend here the two-player game to an arbitrary number $N$ of symmetric players. We show that there is a mixed-strategy Nash equilibrium and find its exact analytic expression, which we analyze in particular in the limit of large $N$, where mean-field behavior occurs. The original game with $N=2$ arises as a singular limit of the general case.

description: To reduce vehicular emissions, it is crucial to investigate the potential of low-carbon fuels in the operation of commercial vehicles. The current study aims to investigate vehicular performance while operating a typical Indian motorcycle using various ratios of bio-ethanol-blended gasoline (10%, 20%, 55%, and 85% by vol.). Three different test conditions, viz., steady-state engine testing, chassis dynamometer test measurement, and on-road vehicle performance tests, are conducted for a four-stroke motorcycle. The experimental results highlight that the E20 blend (20% ethanol and 80% gasoline by vol.) increased the power and torque output by 2% and 3.4%, respectively, compared to the base gasoline (E0). Further, the tailpipe emissions reduced significantly during assessment using E20 blends. However the performance was deteriorating, while using higher ratios of ethanol-blended gasoline. E55 blend decreased the power and torque by 22.3% and 27.8%, respectively, and an increased acceleration time of 3.1 seconds was observed in comparison to E0. A maximum increase of 38 % in total fuel consumption is observed with E85 and an increase of 34.3% in fuel filter pressure drop compared to E0. The reduced emissions and non-requirement of major modifications to a typical motorcycle's engine indicate that E20 could be an attractive fuel blend.

Experimental Test of Relativistic Quantum State Collapse with Moving Reference Frames

description: An experimental test of relativistic wave-packet collapse is presented. The tested model assumes that the collapse takes place in the reference frame determined by the massive measuring detectors. Entangled photons are measured at 10 km distance within a time interval of less than 5 ps. The two apparatuses are in relative motion so that both detectors, each in its own inertial reference frame, are first to perform the measurement. The data always reproduces the quantum correlations and thus rule out a class of collapse models. The results also set a lower bound on the "speed of quantum information" to 0.66 x 10^7 and 1.5 x 10^4 times the speed of light in the Geneva and the background radiation reference frames, respectively. The very difficult and deep question of where the collapse takes place - if it takes place at all - is considered in a concrete experimental context.

description: We give a formula to calculate a matrix element of a conserved current in the effective quantum mechanics defined by the wave function equivalent potentials proposed by HAL QCD collaboration. As a first step, a non-relativistic field theory with two channel coupling is considered as the original theory, with which a wave function equivalent HAL QCD potential is obtained in a closed analytic form. The external field method is used to derive the formula by demanding that the result should agree with the original theory. With this formula, the matrix element is obtained by sandwiching the effective current operator between the left and the right eigen functions of the effective Hamiltonian associated with the HAL QCD potential. In addition to the naive one-body current, the effective current operator contains an additional two-body term emerging from the degrees of freedom which has been integrated out.

description: We consider models for the generation of the emission line recently discovered in the X-ray afterglow spectrum of several bursts, and especially of GRB 991216 observed by Chandra. These observations suggest the presence of 0.1-1 solar masses of iron in the vicinity of the bursts. We show that there are strong geometrical and kinematical constraints on the line emitting material. We discuss several classes of models, favoring one where the line photons are produced by reflection off the walls of a wide funnel of semi-opening angle 45 degrees, excavated in a young (a few months old) supernova remnant made of ~10 solar masses with radius 6x10^15 cm, and ~1 solar mass of iron, providing strong support for the SupraNova model.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.By means of Conventional Fisheries Science, Geomorphology, Sedimentology and Benthic Ecology, the research developed by Spain under the ECOVUL/ARPA project, has been useful in order to improve the knowledge about the relationship between bottom fisheries (an example of potentially conflicting human use of the seabed in the high-seas) and the benthic habitats. Applying an interdisciplinary approach, this project identified the deep-water bottom trawl fisheries in the Hatton Bank western slope (ICES VIb1 & XIIb), mapped the main fishing grounds and the possible interactions with marine features and cold-water corals habitats. This approach was used to select the spatial limits of a suitable additional area closed to fishing, as a management measure to protect the corals in the framework of the Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries. This paper presents the methods used to collect the data and the last results derived from the study of the Hatton Bank habitats and the related bottom fisheries, and discuss the measures for reducing interactions with sensitive habitats, particularly cold-water corals.
