Gas-liquid phase equilibrium in ionic fluids: Coulomb versus non-Coulomb interactions
Creators: name: Patsahan, O.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Using the collective variables theory, we study the effect of competition between Coulomb and dispersion forces on the gas-liquid phase behaviour of a model ionic fluid, i.e. a charge-asymmetric primitive model with additional short-range attractive interactions. Both the critical parameters and the coexistence envelope are calculated in a one-loop approximation as a function of the parameter $α$ measuring the relative strength of the Coulomb to short-range interactions. We found the very narrow region of $α$ bounded from the both sides by tricritical points which separates the models with "nonionic" and "Coulombic" phase behaviour. This is at variance with the result of available computer simulations where no tricritical point is found for the finely-discretized lattice version of the model.

On Polar Magnetic Field Reversal and Surface Flux Transport During Solar Cycle 24

description: As each solar cycle progresses, remnant magnetic flux from active regions (ARs) migrates poleward to cancel the old-cycle polar field. We describe this polarity reversal process during Cycle 24 using four years (2010.33--2014.33) of line-of-sight magnetic field measurements from the Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager. The total flux associated with ARs reached maximum in the north in 2011, more than two years earlier than the south; the maximum is significantly weaker than Cycle 23. The process of polar field reversal is relatively slow, north-south asymmetric, and episodic. We estimate that the global axial dipole changed sign in October 2013; the northern and southern polar fields (mean above 60$^\circ$ latitude) reversed in November 2012 and March 2014, respectively, about 16 months apart. Notably, the poleward surges of flux in each hemisphere alternated in polarity, giving rise to multiple reversals in the north. We show that the surges of the trailing sunspot polarity tend to correspond to normal mean AR tilt, higher total AR flux, or slower mid-latitude near-surface meridional flow, while exceptions occur during low magnetic activity. In particular, the AR flux and the mid-latitude poleward flow speed exhibit a clear anti-correlation. We discuss how these features can be explained in a surface flux transport process that includes a field-dependent converging flow toward the ARs, a characteristic that may contribute to solar cycle variability.

description: We use perturbed relativistic coupled-cluster (PRCC) theory to compute the electric dipole polarizabilities $α$ of Zn, Cd and Hg. The computations are done using the Dirac-Coulomb-Breit Hamiltonian with Uehling potential to incorporate vacuum polarization corrections. The triple excitations are included perturbatively in the PRCC theory, and in the unperturbed sector, it is included non-perturbatively. Our results of $α$, for all the three elements, are in excellent agreement with the experimental data. The other highlight of the results is the orbital energy corrections from Breit interactions. In the literature we could only get the data of Hg {E. Lindroth et al., J. Phys. B 22, 2447 (1989)} and are near perfect match with our results. We also present the linearized equations of the cluster amplitudes, including the triple excitations, with the angular factors.

description: We introduce Wasserstein-like dynamical transport distances between vector-valued densities on the real line. The mobility function from the scalar theory is replaced by a mobility matrix, that is subject to positivity and concavity conditions. Our primary motivation is to cast certain systems of nonlinear parabolic evolution equations into the variational framework of gradient flows. In the first part of the paper, we investigate the structural properties of the new class of distances like geodesic completeness. The second part is devoted to the identification of $λ$-geodesically convex functionals and their $λ$-contractive gradient flows. One of our results is a generalized McCann condition for geodesic convexity of the internal energy. In the third part, the existence of weak solutions to a certain class of degenerate diffusion systems with drift is shown. Even if the underlying energy function is not geodesically convex w.r.t. our new distance, the construction of a weak solution is still possible using de Giorgi's minimizing movement scheme.

title: Mathematical modelling of gene regulation network governing biofilm formation in Bacillus subtilis
titleType: Other
Creators: name: Alharbi, Yamen
Publisher: name: University of Dundee
Year: 2022

description: Bacteria normally live in closed communities called biofilms. Living within a biofilm can be beneficial for the bacteria. It can protect them from harmful environ- mental conditions and from toxic substrates such as antibiotics. Within the biofilm, identical cells perform different tasks ranging from building extracellular matrix to forming spore cells. These tasks can be performed and processed by complex gene regulation networks. The formation of biofilm is governed by a complex gene reg- ulation network. In this thesis, we examine the interaction of three proteins: SinI, SinR and SlrR which govern biofilm formation in Bacillus subtilis. In the analysis, we use deterministic and stochastic mathematical models, bifurcation analysis and numerical simulations for a better understanding of the biofilm formation process. Our results reveal that SlrR locks the system into the matrix producing state by repressing SinR leading to the initiation of biofilm.

description: We present a simple holographic model of an insulator. Unlike most previous holographic insulators, the zero temperature infrared geometry is completely nonsingular. Both the low temperature DC conductivity and the optical conductivity at zero temperature satisfy power laws with the same exponent, given by the scaling dimension of an operator in the IR. Changing a parameter in the model converts it from an insulator to a conductor with a standard Drude peak.

description: We study tree level scattering amplitudes of four massless states in the double scaled little string theory, and compare them to perturbative loop amplitudes in six-dimensional super-Yang-Mills theory. The little string amplitudes are computed from correlators in the cigar coset CFT and in N=2 minimal models. The results are expressed in terms of integrals of conformal blocks and evaluated numerically in the alpha' expansion. We find striking agreements with up to 2-loop scattering amplitudes of massless gluons in 6D SU(k) SYM at a Z_k invariant point on the Coulomb branch. We comment on the issue of UV divergence at higher loop orders in the gauge theory and discuss the implication of our results.

description: We study the relaxation of an electron spin qubit in a Si quantum dot due to electrical noise. In particular, we clarify how the presence of conduction-band valleys influences spin relaxation. In single-valley semiconductor quantum dots, spin relaxation is through the mixing of spin and envelope orbital states via spin-orbit interaction. In Si, the relaxation could also be through the mixing of spin and valley states. We find that the additional spin relaxation channel, via spin-valley mixing and electrical noise, is indeed important for an electron spin in a Si quantum dot. By considering both spin-valley and intravalley spin-orbit mixings and Johnson noise in a Si device, we find that the spin relaxation rate peaks at the hot spot, where the Zeeman splitting matches the valley splitting. Furthermore, because of a weaker field dependence, the spin relaxation rate due to Johnson noise could dominate over phonon noise at low magnetic fields, which fits well with recent experiments.

description: Recent years have seen the world become a closely connected society with the emergence of different types of social networks. Online social networks have provided a way to bridge long distances and establish numerous communication channels which were not possible earlier. These networks exhibit interesting behavior under intentional attacks and random failures where different structural properties influence the resilience in different ways. In this paper, we perform two sets of experiments and draw conclusions from the results pertaining to the resilience of social networks. The first experiment performs a comparative analysis of four different classes of networks namely small world networks, scale free networks, small world-scale free networks and random networks with four semantically different social networks under different attack strategies. The second experiment compares the resilience of these semantically different social networks under different attack strategies. Empirical analysis reveals interesting behavior of different classes of networks with different attack strategies.

description: In the quasistatic regime, generic modifications to gravity can give rise to novel scale-dependence of the gravitational field equations. Crucially, the detectability of the new scale-dependent terms hinges upon the existence of an effective mass scale or length scale at which corrections to General Relativity become relevant. Starting from only a few basic principles, we derive the general form of this scale-dependence. Our method recovers results previously known in the specific case of Horndeski gravity, but also shows that they are valid more generally, beyond the regime of scalar field theories. We forecast the constraints that upcoming experiments will place on the existence of a new fundamental mass scale or length scale in cosmology.

Рост растительных продуктов обусловлен популярностью форм питания «веганство» и «вегетарианство», которые стали трендом на мировом рынке. Вегетарианство и веганство – это не диеты, а образы жизни, основанные, как говорят приверженцы, на «осознанном» отношении к себе и окружающему миру. Причиной отказа может являться то, что растительное сырье по сравнению с животным дешевле и легче по усвояемости, поэтому люди не видят нужды доплачивать за мясное сырье. Целью

description: Electrical communication between cardiomyocytes can be perturbed during arrhythmia, but these perturbations are not captured by conventional electrocardiographic metrics. We developed a theoretical framework to quantify electrical communication using information theory metrics in 2-dimensional cell lattice models of cardiac excitation propagation. The time series generated by each cell was coarse-grained to 1 when excited or 0 when resting. The Shannon entropy for each cell was calculated from the time series during four clinically important heart rhythms: normal heartbeat, anatomical reentry, spiral reentry, and multiple reentry. We also used mutual information to perform spatial profiling of communication during these cardiac arrhythmias. We found that information sharing between cells was spatially heterogeneous. In addition, cardiac arrhythmia significantly impacted information sharing within the heart. Entropy localized the path of the drifting core of spiral reentry, which could be an optimal target of therapeutic ablation. We conclude that information theory metrics can quantitatively assess electrical communication among cardiomyocytes. The traditional concept of the heart as a functional syncytium sharing electrical information cannot predict altered entropy and information sharing during complex arrhythmia. Information theory metrics may find clinical application in the identification of rhythm-specific treatments which are currently unmet by traditional electrocardiographic techniques.

description: Anne McLaren DBE was born into a privileged family, which affected her future in two distinct ways. Her cut-glass accent and social confidence were advantageous reminders of this early privilege, but her unrelenting rejection of it was evident in her left-wing egalitarian political and social views and actions. Anne was among the pioneers of research into mammalian development—her experiments on embryonic and fetal development in mice led indirectly to ‘test tube’ babies and contributed to our understanding of the relative roles of soma and germ cells in generating the two sexes. However, it is not only her science for which she will be remembered; her social, educational, ethical and political activities in the cause of science were paramount. She was an articulate, logical and extraordinarily confident speaker, always unrelentingly focused and thoroughly prepared. These qualities made her a formidable member of the Warnock Committee of enquiry, which generated the internationally influential guidelines on how human-assisted reproduction should be regulated. She served for 10 years with distinction on the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority, the UK regulatory body that resulted from the Warnock enquiry. She was a founder member, and president, of the Association of Women in Science and Engineering. Her interests extended beyond human welfare to that of animals, and she became involved with conservation and biodiversity preservation programmes internationally. She was elected Foreign Secretary of the Royal Society, the first woman to hold this office in its 330 years.

description: The Rome III classification system treats functional constipation (FC) and irritable bowel syndrome with constipation (IBS-C) as distinct disorders, but this distinction appears artificial, and the same drugs are used to treat both. This study’s hypothesis is that FC and IBS-C defined by Rome III are not distinct entities.

description: Mental health and substance abuse (MH/SA) comorbidities are the most oft-cited reasons for deferral from peginterferon (PegIFN) therapy for chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV). We sought to determine whether an integrated care intervention (INT) for patients deferred from PegIFN owing to MH/SA could improve subsequent treatment eligibility rates.

description: The Lynch syndrome (LS) is an inherited cancer syndrome showing a preponderance of colorectal cancer (CRC) in context with endometrial cancer and several other extracolonic cancers, which is due to pathogenic mutations in the mismatch repair (MMR) genes, MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, and PMS2. Some families were found to show a LS phenotype without an identified MMR mutation, although there was microsatellite instability and absence of MSH2 expression by immunohistochemistry. Studies of a subset of these families found a deletion at the 3′ end of the epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EPCAM) gene, causing transcription read-through resulting in silencing of MSH2 through hypermethylation of its promoter. The tumor spectrum of such families appears to differ from classical LS.

description: Anne McLaren DBE was born into a privileged family, which affected her future in two distinct ways. Her cut-glass accent and social confidence were advantageous reminders of this early privilege, but her unrelenting rejection of it was evident in her left-wing egalitarian political and social views and actions. Anne was among the pioneers of research into mammalian development—her experiments on embryonic and fetal development in mice led indirectly to ‘test tube’ babies and contributed to our understanding of the relative roles of soma and germ cells in generating the two sexes. However, it is not only her science for which she will be remembered; her social, educational, ethical and political activities in the cause of science were paramount. She was an articulate, logical and extraordinarily confident speaker, always unrelentingly focused and thoroughly prepared. These qualities made her a formidable member of the Warnock Committee of enquiry, which generated the internationally influential guidelines on how human-assisted reproduction should be regulated. She served for 10 years with distinction on the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority, the UK regulatory body that resulted from the Warnock enquiry. She was a founder member, and president, of the Association of Women in Science and Engineering. Her interests extended beyond human welfare to that of animals, and she became involved with conservation and biodiversity preservation programmes internationally. She was elected Foreign Secretary of the Royal Society, the first woman to hold this office in its 330 years.

description: An early event in the pathogenesis of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is an acid-induced increase in junctional (paracellular) permeability in esophageal epithelium (EE). The molecular events that account for this change are unknown. E-cadherin is a junctional protein important in barrier function in EE. Therefore, defects in barrier function in EE were sought in GERD as well as whether their presence correlated with abnormalities in e-cadherin.

Margulis invariant

description: We introduce higher strip deformations, which give a way of constructing affine deformations of discrete free groups in the image of the irreducible representation PSL₂ R → SO(2n, 2n − 1). We use the Margulis invariant to fnd a properness condition for these deformations, showing that each convex cocompact free group admits affne deformations acting properly on R [superscript 4n−1]. Using our method we can also construct proper affne actions of virtually free groups, which we demonstrate by fnding proper actions of C₂*C₃3 on R⁷.

title: Concetto e struttura della filosofia teoretica. Il commento di san Tommaso al “De Trinitate” di Boezio
Creators: name: Acerbi , Ariberto
Publisher: name: Roma Tre-Press
Year: 2010

description: Il Super Boetium de Trinitate è uno scritto giovanile di san Tommaso, appartenente al primo periodo parigino (databile non oltre il 1259). Il testo apparentemente inconcluso, almeno nel suo progetto iniziale, sorprende per eleganza e per profondità d'impostazione. Tommaso sa ricavare dall'esposizione dello scarno scritto boeziano un'ampia discussione sulla natura della scienza, della teologia e della filosofia. Quest'ultima comprende le discipline teoretiche, secondo la sistemazione aristotelica: la fisica, la matematica e la metafisica. In questo lavoro vogliamo soltanto formulare, dopo una breve presentazione d'insieme della concezione epistemologica sviluppata nel Commento, alcune difficoltà di carattere generale sulla natura del sapere teoretico. A tale proposito ci riferiremo specialmente ai problemi esaminati dall'Aquinate nella questione quinta.

Linear temperature behavior of thermopower and strong electron-electron scattering in thick F-doped SnO$_{2}$ films

description: Both the semi-classical and quantum transport properties of F-doped SnO$_2$ thick films ($\sim$1\,$μ$m) were investigated experimentally. It is found that the resistivity caused by the thermal phonons obeys Bloch-Grüneisen law from $\sim$90 to 300\,K, while only the diffusive thermopower, which varies linearly with temperature from 300 down to 10\,K, can be observed.The phonon-drag thermopower is completely suppressed due to the long electron-phonon relaxation time in the compound. These observations, together with the temperature independent characteristic of carrier concentration, indicate that the conduction electron in F-doped SnO$_2$ films behaves essentially like a free electron. At low temperatures, the electron-electron scattering dominates over the electron-phonon scattering and governs the inelastic scattering process. The theoretical predicated scattering rates for both large- and small-energy-transfer electron-electron scattering processes, which are negligibly weak in three-dimensional disordered conventional conductors, are quantitatively tested in this lower carrier concentration and free-electron-like highly degenerate semiconductor.

description: Introduction: The Covid-19 pandemic has required countries to prepare their health workforce for a rapid increase of patients. This research aims to analyse the planning and health workforce policies in Germany, a country with a largely decentralised workforce governance mechanism. Methods: Systematic search between 18 and 31 May 2020 at federal and 16 states on health workforce action and planning (websites of ministries of health, public health authorities), including pandemic preparedness plans and policies. The search followed World Health Organisation (WHO) Europe's health workforce guidance on Covid-19. Content analysis was performed, informed by the themes of WHO. Results: The pandemic preparedness plans consisted of no or limited information on how to expand and prepare the health workforce during pandemics. The 16 states varied considerably regarding implementing strategies to expand health workforce capacities. Only one state adopted a policy on task-shifting despite a federal law on task-shifting during pandemics. Conclusions: Planning on the health workforce, its capacity and skill-mix during pandemics was limited in the pandemic response plans. Actions during the peak of the pandemic varied considerably across states, were implemented ad hoc and with limited planning. Future action should focus on integrated planning and evaluation of workforce policies.

description: It is well known that for any prime $p\equiv 3$ (mod $4$), the class numbers of the quadratic fields $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{p})$ and $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-p})$, $h(p)$ and $h(-p)$ respectively, are odd. It is natural to ask whether there is a formula for $h(p)/h(-p)$ modulo powers of $2$. We show the formula $h(p) \equiv h(-p) m(p)$ (mod $16$), where $m(p)$ is an integer defined using the "negative" continued fraction expansion of $\sqrt{p}$. Our result solves a conjecture of Richard Guy.
