The free boundary equilibrium problem for helically symmetric plasmas
Creators: name: Gardner, Henry James
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1986
Subjects: subject: Plasma confinement
subject: Green's functions
subject: Plasma (Ionized gases)

description: An iterative technique is described for solving the helically symmetric plasma equilibrium equations with a free boundary. The method involves an application of Green’s theorem , and has been formulated for the geometry of a heliac. Provision is made to incorporate the field of the external solenoid into the model, and the limits of applicability of the conventional Fourier-Bessel series representation of th a t field are investigated. The free boundary model is implemented as p art of an inverse equilibrium version of the PEST code and is applied to the SHEILA heliac. Mercier and ballooning stability are examined for fixed and free boundary equilibria as a function of pressure and a deformation parameter which is taken to be the current in an extra helical winding near the centre of the configuration. The free boundary stability properties depend almost entirely on the existence of a vacuum magnetic well.

description: Wurtzite-type ferroelectrics are highly promising for next-generation microelectronic devices due to their ferroelectric properties and integration with exiting semiconductors. However, their high coercive fields, which are close to breakdown electric fields, need to be lowered. To deal with this issue and secure device reliability, much effort has been devoted to exploring novel wurtzite compounds with lower polarization switching barriers and implementing doping strategies. Here, we report first-principles calculations on polarization switching in cation-vacancy ordered wurtzite α-Al2S3, unveiling its uniaxial quadruple-well ferroelectricity and moderate switching barrier, 51 meV/cation, which is much lower than that of conventional wurtzite ferroelectrics. There are three important features relevant to the Al vacancies leading to the uncommon quadruple-well ferroelectricity and the moderate switching barrier: mitigation of cation-cation repulsion, structural flexibility that alleviates an in-plane lattice expansion, and formation of σ-like bonding states consisting of Al 3pz and S 3pz orbitals. Biaxial compressive strain and Ga doping lower the switching barriers by up to 40%. This study encourages experimental investigation of the ferroelectric properties for defective wurtzite α-Al2S3 as a new promising material with unconventional and intriguing ferroelectricity and suggests a potential strategy for reducing switching barriers in wurtzite ferroelectrics: introducing cation vacancies.

Arms control and disarmament : negotiations in the United Nations

Subjects: subject: United Nations

description: Arms control and disarmament issues figured prominently in the UN in the late 1970s and early 1980s, along with other regional and international security issues. This occurred in the wake of the General Assembly’s first special session on disarmament in mid-1978, which was also attended by numerous non-governmental organisations involved in related issues. The special session was held largely at the non-aligned group’s urging and also because of general concern that the United Nations had not focused on disarmament issues since the late 1950s. The non-aligned states sought to reduce the dominance of the superpowers by promoting a greater role for the UN in maintaining international security and in influencing the pace and pattern of global arms control. The multilateral diplomacy that ensued however proved quite unproductive and deepened the sense of crisis regarding the UN’s future. The distinctive approach of the non-aligned states compounded the problem posed by the lack of progress in arms control in US-Soviet relations. The superpowers displayed little enthusiasm for any significant multilateral control, either over military competition or over armed conflicts between states. The Soviet Union seemed to be even less interested than the United States. The numerical majority of the non-aligned group in the UN probably reinforced the superpowers’ preference for the existing bilateral structure for dealing with international security issues. In any case, the imbroglio in multilateral diplomacy and obstacles in bilateral relations between the superpowers indicated that there were serious difficulties in the way of any significant arms control progress and that its prospects would remain limited, especially in the absence of progress in pursuit of other international security goals.

description: Recent evidence suggests that individuals generate written words based on both spelling and sound. The present study used event-related potentials (ERPs) to examine the relative time course of orthographic and phonological activation. We adopted Chinese as a target language in which spelling and sound are largely dissociated. Native speakers of Chinese Mandarin were presented with coloured pictures and wrote down colour and picture names as adjective–noun phrases. Colour and picture names were either phonologically related, orthographically related, or unrelated. EEG revealed phonological effects in the 200–500 ms time window, starting at 206 ms after picture onset, and orthographic effects in the 300–400 ms time window, starting at 298 ms. The results of our study suggest that activation of phonological codes takes place approximately 100 ms earlier than access to orthographic codes, which provides evidence for phonological encoding as early sources of constraint in written word production.

description: Cerium-doped Cs$_2$LiYCl$_6$ (CLYC) and Cs$_2$LiLaBr$_x$Cl$_{6-x}$ (CLLBC) are scintillators in the elpasolite family that are attractive options for resource-constrained applications due to their ability to detect both gamma rays and neutrons within a single volume. Space-based detectors are one such application, however, the radiation environment in space can over time damage the crystal structure of the elpasolites, leading to degraded performance. We have exposed 4 samples each of CLYC and CLLBC to 800 MeV protons at the Los Alamos Neutron Science Center. The samples were irradiated with a total number of protons of 1.3$\times$10$^{9}$, 1.3$\times$10$^{10}$, 5.2$\times$10$^{10}$, and 1.3$\times$10$^{11}$, corresponding to estimated doses of 0.14, 1.46, 5.82, and 14.6 kRad, respectively on the CLYC samples and 0.14, 1.38, 5.52, and 13.8 kRad, respectively on the CLLBC samples. We report the impact these radiation doses have on the light output, activation, gamma-ray energy resolution, pulse shapes, and pulse-shape discrimination figure of merit for CLYC and CLLBC.

When college ends and she has no plan, Anna stumbles her way into a convent, the last place she expected to find herself for the rest of her life. But convent life is not the escape she thought it might be, and before long, Anna is harassed by her anxiety and by a mysterious voice that invades her thoughts. Less than a year later, she is back at her childhood home, a place she thought she’d left forever. As she takes a job at her local parish and tries to rebuild a life she thought she had buried for good, Anna must come to terms with abuse in her past, with a family who refuses to acknowledge reality, and—perhaps—with a demonic battle she never asked for.

Gauge and gravitational instantons: From 3-forms and fermions to Weak Gravity and flat axion potentials

description: We investigate the role of gauge and gravitational instantons in the context of the Swampland program. Our focus is on the global symmetry breaking they induce, especially in the presence of fermions. We first recall and make more precise the description of the dilute instanton gas through a 3-form gauge theory. In this language, the familiar suppression of instanton effects by light fermions can be understood as the decoupling of the 3-form. Even if all fermions remain massive, such decoupling may occur on the basis of an explicitly unbroken but anomalous global symmetry in the fermionic sector. This should be forbidden by quantum gravity, which leads us to conjecture a related, cutoff-dependent lower bound on the induced axion potential. Finally, we note that the gravitational counterpart of the above are K3 instantons. These are small fluctuations of Euclidean spacetime with K3 topology, which induce fermionic operators analogous to the 't Hooft vertex in gauge theories. Although Planck-suppressed, they may be phenomenologically relevant if accompanied by other higher-dimension fermion operators or if the K3 carries appropriate gauge fluxes.

description: The BayFish–Bac Lieu model presented in this chapter is a Bayesian model that aims to identify optimal water control regimes and trade-offs between water uses in order to improve management of water-dependent resources in the inland coastal area of Bac Lieu Province, Mekong Delta, Vietnam. The model was developed between 2004 and 2007 and integrated local databases, outputs from the Vietnam River Systems and Plains (VRSAP) model and stakeholder consultations. The model facilitates analyses of the consequences of different water management scenarios (quantitative and qualitative) on rice, fish, crab and shrimp production in the province. However, beyond production, trade-offs between household income, food security or environmental protection were also identified during the model development process. Subsequently, the BayFish–Bac Lieu model allows detailing of: (i) annual production probabilities in the case of a baseline scenario; (ii) outcomes of four different sluice gate operation modes; and (iii) trade-offs between household income, food security and environment outcomes for each scenario. The model shows that through improved shrimp farming and fish production, total household income benefits directly from open sluice gates allowing saline intrusion. However, this has the opposite effect on rice production, and on food security. Results suggest that a suitable compromise involving at least one sluice gate open at all times should be adopted for optimized outcomes.

description: The recent generative AI models' capability of creating realistic and human-like content is significantly transforming the ways in which people communicate, create and work. The machine-generated content is a double-edged sword. On one hand, it can benefit the society when used appropriately. On the other hand, it may mislead people, posing threats to the society, especially when mixed together with natural content created by humans. Hence, there is an urgent need to develop effective methods to detect machine-generated content. However, the lack of aligned multimodal datasets inhibited the development of such methods, particularly in triple-modality settings (e.g., text, image, and voice). In this paper, we introduce RU-AI, a new large-scale multimodal dataset for robust and effective detection of machine-generated content in text, image and voice. Our dataset is constructed on the basis of three large publicly available datasets: Flickr8K, COCO and Places205, by adding their corresponding AI duplicates, resulting in a total of 1,475,370 instances. In addition, we created an additional noise variant of the dataset for testing the robustness of detection models. We conducted extensive experiments with the current SOTA detection methods on our dataset. The results reveal that existing models still struggle to achieve accurate and robust detection on our dataset. We hope that this new data set can promote research in the field of machine-generated content detection, fostering the responsible use of generative AI.

description: The present study discusses the attitudes, as well as the changes in and the diversities of opinion among Islamic leaders in Indonesia regarding family planning from the 1950's to the 1980's. In the earliest period i.e. from the 1950's to the early 1960's, most Islamic leaders were opposed to family planning. In the late 1960's, however, Islamic elites as well as Islamic organizations began to support family planning programme, which at this time was adopted by the Government, and by the 1980's they had even started promoting family planning amongst the masses by explaining the advantages of the norm of a small happy family (NKKBS) which is the main objective of the programme. The Islamic leaders of Indonesia, however, maintain their opposition to the use of several contraceptive methods such as sterilization and abortion. This makes the programme different from those in Bangladesh, China or India. Family planning in Indonesia is more successful than in India or in other Islamic countries such as Pakistan because religious leaders, especially Islamic leaders, have not maintained a significant resistance to the programme; rather, they have come to support it.

Neutrino masses from operator mixing

description: We show that in theories that reduce, at the Fermi scale, to an extension of the standard model with two doublets, there can be additional dimension five operators giving rise to neutrino masses. In particular there exists a singlet operator which can not generate neutrino masses at tree level but generates them through operator mixing. Under the assumption that only this operator appears at tree level we calculate the neutrino mass matrix. It has the Zee mass matrix structure and leads naturally to bimaximal mixing. However, the maximal mixing prediction for solar neutrinos is very sharp even when higher order corrections are considered. To allow for deviations from maximal mixing a fine tuning is needed in the neutrino mass matrix parameters. However, this fine tuning relates the departure from maximal mixing in solar neutrino oscillations with the neutrinoless double beta decay rate.

 Diagnosis. Hydroniscus with cephalic rostral lobe broad, apically truncated and extending beyond the anterolateral angles of the cephalon. Pleotelson without any posterolateral projection. Uropods lacking. In ventral view, anal plates show crenulated edges at apex, and infra-uropodal spines are distinct.
 Material examined. Holotype: female, length 2.9 mm, width 0.9 mm. USNM Cat. No. 138682.
 Type locality. R / V Eastward Sta. G-6228, site Sigma over the Carolina continental rise. Also collected from the following stations: R / V Eastward Sta. G-7813 at site Beta over the Carolina lower slope, three female specimens; R / V Eastward Sta. G-7814 at site Beta over the Carolina lower slope, two female specimens; R / V Eastward Sta. G-6228 at site Sigma over the Carolina continental rise, two female specimens; R / V Eastward Sta. G-7798 at site Alpha-A at the base of the west side of the Bermuda Pedestal, north-west Atlantic, one female specimen.
 Etymology. This new species is named in honour of the American carcinologist Prof. Les Watling of Darling Marine Laboratories, University of Maine.
 Description. Body about three times as long as wide. Cephalon with a large rostral lobe, truncated anteriorly. Posterolateral angles of cephalon produced to half the length of the rostral lobe. Cephalon as long as the anterior two pereonites combined. First pereonite longer than the second. Pereonite 4 one-third longer than pereonite 3. Pereonites 5–7 fused with the pleotelson, with slight indication of fusion at the lateral extremities. Pleotelson conical in shape, apex somewhat truncated.
Antenna 1 with a flagellum of five articles. Antenna 2 about twice the length of antenna 1, with flagellum composed of nine articles. Uropods absent.
 Remarks. This new species exhibits a close morphological similarity with a northern species H. abyssi Hansen, 1916 which was collected from the Davis Strait south-west of Greenland at 3520–3610 m during the Danish Ingolf expedition. Both species lack a sharp posterolateral angle or projection to the pleotelson, the anal cavity is separated from the branchial chamber, they lack uropods and have infrauropodal spines. However, these two species are clearly differentiated in several characters, such as the anterolateral angles of the cephalon, which are rounded and prominent in H. watlingi but with a minute conical spine in H. abyssi; posterolateral extremities of pereonite 5 projecting in H. watlingi but coalesced in H. abyssi, and the pleonal apex is truncated in H. watlingi but rounded in H. abyssi.

description: We apply the Velocity Distribution Function (VDF) to a sample of Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ)-selected clusters, and we report preliminary cosmological constraints in the $σ_8$-$Ω_m$ cosmological parameter space. The VDF is a forward-modeled test statistic that can be used to constrain cosmological models directly from galaxy cluster dynamical observations. The method was introduced in Ntampaka et al. (2017) and employs line-of-sight velocity measurements to directly constrain cosmological parameters; it is less sensitive to measurement error than a standard halo mass function approach. The method is applied to the Hectospec Survey of Sunyaev-Zeldovich-Selected Clusters (HeCS-SZ) sample, which is a spectroscopic follow up of a Planck-selected sample of 83 galaxy clusters. Credible regions are calculated by comparing the VDF of the observed cluster sample to that of mock observations, yielding $\mathcal{S}_8 \equiv σ_8 \left(Ω_m/0.3\right)^{0.25} = 0.751\pm0.037$. These constraints are in tension with the Planck Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) TT fiducial value, which lies outside of our 95% credible region, but are in agreement with some recent analyses of large scale structure that observe fewer massive clusters than are predicted by the Planck fiducial cosmological parameters.

description: In and around urban areas pollution of natural water bodies is on the rise. As a result, wastewater irrigation is an increasingly common reality around most cities in the developing world. For reasons of technical capacity or economics, effective treatment may not be available for years to come; therefore, international guidelines to safeguard farmers and consumers must be practical and offer feasible riskmanagement options. This chapter provides an introduction to microbiological hazards. These can be addressed best in a step-wise risk assessment and management approach starting with wastewater treatment where possible, and supported by different pathogen barriers from farm to fork. A major change in the most recent WHO Guidelines for the safe use of wastewater, excreta and greywater in agriculture and aquaculture (WHO, 2006) agriculture is the focus on a holistic approach to achieving health-based targets, instead of prescribing irrigation waterquality threshold levels that are often unattainable. The health-based targets should not be read as absolute values but as goals to be attained in the short, medium or long term depending on the country’s technical capacity and institutional or economic conditions. Local standards and actual implementation should progressively develop as the country moves up the sanitation ladder. While healthrisk assessments are recommended to identify entry points for risk reduction and health-based targets, the Guidelines also offer shortcuts in situations where research capacities and data are constrained.

It is confirmed that a Lorentz force from spatial component of the vector field provides an important contribution to the in-medium kaon dynamics and strongly counterbalances the influence of the vector potential on the $K^+$ in-plane flow. The FOPI data can be reasonably described using in-medium kaon potentials based on effective chiral models. The information on the in-medium $K^+$ potential extracted from kaon flow is consistent with the knowledge from other sources.

description: Two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals (vdW) materials provide the possibility of realizing heterostructures with coveted properties. Here, we report a theoretical investigation of the vdW magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) based on VSe2/MoS2 heterojunction, where the VSe2 monolayer acts as the ferromagnet with the room-temperature ferromagnetism. We propose the concept of spin-orbit torque (SOT) vdW MTJ with reliable reading and efficient writing operations. The non-equilibrium study reveals a large tunneling magnetoresistance (TMR) of 846 % at 300 Kelvin, identifying significantly its parallel and anti-parallel states. Thanks to the strong spin Hall conductivity of MoS2, SOT is promising for the magnetization switching of VSe2 free layer. Quantum-well states come into being and resonances appear in MTJ, suggesting that the voltage control can adjust transport properties effectively. The SOT vdW MTJ based on VSe2/MoS2 provides desirable performance and experimental feasibility, offering new opportunities for 2D spintronics.

description: We study the breaking of a supersymmetric SO(10) GUT in 6 dimensions by orbifold compactification. In 4 dimensions we obtain a N=1 supersymmetric theory with the standard model gauge group enlarged by an additional U(1) symmetry. The 4-dimensional gauge symmetry is obtained as intersection of the Pati-Salam and the Georgi-Glashow subgroups of SO(10), which appear as unbroken subgroups in the two 5 dimensional subspaces, respectively. The doublet-triplet splitting arises as in the recently discussed SU(5) GUTs in 5 dimensions.

description: Recent evidence points to the important role of embedded word activations in visual word recognition. The present study asked how the reading system prioritises word identification when not just one, but two different words are embedded within the same position. This question was addressed by using a masked primed lexical decision task (Experiment 1) with target words embedded in nonword primes (tea or team in teamaction). Results revealed priming independently of the length, position, or morphological status of the embedded word. However, when primes were used as targets within a word naming task (Experiment 2), participants were more likely to name the longer than the shorter embedded word, independent of morphological status. Our results suggest that the reading system gives priority to longer embedded words, which we discuss in the context of recent theories of visual word recognition.

description: We present the results of a joint XMM-Newton and NuSTAR observation (200 ks) of the galaxy cluster Abell 523 at $z=0.104$. The peculiar morphology of the cluster radio halo and its outlier position in the radio power P(1.4 GHz) - X-ray luminosity plane make it an ideal candidate for the study of radio-X-ray correlations and for the search of inverse Compton (IC) emission. We constructed thermodynamic maps derived from the XMM observations to describe in detail the physical and dynamical state of the ICM. We performed a point-to-point comparison in terms of surface brightness between the X-ray and radio emissions, to quantify their morphological discrepancies. Making use of NuSTAR's hard X-ray focusing capability, we looked for IC emission both globally and locally, after modeling the purely thermal component with a multi-temperature description. The thermodynamic maps suggest the presence of a secondary merging process that could be responsible for the peculiar radio halo morphology. This hypothesis is supported by the comparison between the X-ray and radio surface brightnesses, which shows a broad intrinsic scatter and a series of outliers. The global NuSTAR spectrum can be explained by purely thermal gas emission, and there is no convincing evidence that an IC component is needed. The $3σ$ upper limit on the IC flux in the 20-80 keV band is in the range $\left[2.2 - 4.0\right] \times 10^{-13} \, \mathrm{erg} \, \mathrm{s}^{-1} \, \mathrm{cm}^{-2}$, implying a lower limit on the magnetic field strength in the range $B > [0.23 - 0.31] \, μG$. Locally, we looked for IC emission in the central region of the cluster radio halo finding a $3σ$ upper limit on the 20-80 keV non-thermal flux of $3.17 \times 10^{-14} \, \mathrm{erg} \, \mathrm{s}^{-1} \, \mathrm{cm}^{-2}$, corresponding to a lower limit on the magnetic field strength of $B \gtrsim 0.81 \, μG$.

Dark at the Center

Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst

What are we without the darkness that lurks inside our hearts, our homes, our forests, our deep places where light does not touch? For some, the darkness is overwhelming, overt, obfuscating. For others, it remains a place of balance; there is no shadow without light, after all. In the stories that follow, strange and eerie things rise from the darkness, but none so frightening as loss. What do we do when grief threatens to overwhelm us? Do we tear our way back into the world of the living with tooth and nail? Do we pray for a miracle? Do we take a life to preserve another? What power loss gives us, a vacuum to fill with fear or love or rage. Dark at the Center is an invitation. It invites us, reader and author alike, to look inside at our own dimly-lit places, to stare into a dark mirror and not recoil from what we see. It invites us to search for gods in the rings of trees. It invites us to plumb the depths of oceans and look to the stars for answers. It invites us to laugh with demons and make friends with the ghosts of our pasts. It invites us to discover what we are capable of in times of crisis. How deep does the darkness go, and what long-forgotten things might we find in its expanse?
