Beyond mean-field properties of binary dipolar Bose mixtures at low temperatures
Creators: name: Pastukhov, Volodymyr
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Quantum Gases (cond-mat.quant-gas)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We rigorously analyze the low-temperature properties of homogeneous three-dimensional two-component Bose mixture with dipole-dipole interaction. For such a system the effective hydrodynamic action that governs the behavior of low-energy excitations is derived. The infrared structure of the exact single-particle Green's functions is obtained in terms of macroscopic parameters, namely the inverse compressibility and the superfluid density matrices. Within one-loop approximation we calculate the anisotropic superfluid and condensate densities and give the beyond mean-field stability condition for the binary dipolar Bose gas. A brief variational derivation of the coupled equations that describe macroscopic hydrodynamics of the system in the external non-uniform potential at zero temperature is presented.

description: In this paper we present a comparative study in order to specify the influence of equalization enhanced phase noise (EEPN) for pre- and post-compensation of chromatic dispersion in high capacity and high constellation systems. This is - to our knowledge - the first detailed study in this area for pre-compensation systems. Our main results show that the local oscillator phase noise determines the EEPN influence in post-compensation implementations whereas the transmitter laser determines the EEPN in pre-compensation implementations. As a result of significance for the implementation of practical longer-range systems it is to be emphasized that the use of chromatic dispersion equalization in the optical domain - e.g. by the use of dispersion compensation fibers - eliminates the EEPN entirely. Thus, this seems a good option for such systems operating at high constellations in the future.

description: The synthesis of heavy, proton rich isotopes in the astrophysical gamma-process proceeds through photodisintegration reactions. For the improved understanding of the process, the rates of the involved nuclear reactions must be known. The reaction 128Ba(g,a)124Xe was found to affect the abundance of the p nucleus 124Xe. Since the stellar rate for this reaction cannot be determined by a measurement directly, the aim of the present work was to measure the cross section of the inverse 124Xe(a,g)128Ba reaction and to compare the results with statistical model predictions. Of great importance is the fact that data below the (a,n) threshold was obtained. Studying simultaneously the 124Xe(a,n)127Ba reaction channel at higher energy allowed to further identify the source of a discrepancy between data and prediction. The 124Xe + alpha cross sections were measured with the activation method using a thin window 124Xe gas cell. The studied energy range was between E = 11 and 15 MeV close above the astrophysically relevant energy range. The obtained cross sections are compared with statistical model calculations. The experimental cross sections are smaller than standard predictions previously used in astrophysical calculations. As dominating source of the difference, the theoretical alpha width was identified. The experimental data suggest an alpha width lower by at least a factor of 0.125 in the astrophysical energy range. An upper limit for the 128Ba(g,a)124Xe stellar rate was inferred from our measurement. The impact of this rate was studied in two different models for core-collapse supernova explosions of 25 solar mass stars. A significant contribution to the 124Xe abundance via this reaction path would only be possible when the rate was increased above the previous standard value. Since the experimental data rule this out, they also demonstrate the closure of this production path.

description: The use of an asymmetric broadening in the transport distribution, a characteristic of resonant structures, is proposed as a route to engineer a decrease in electronic thermal conductivity thereby enhancing the electronic figure of merit in nanostructured thermoelectrics. Using toy models, we first demonstrate that a decrease in thermal conductivity resulting from such an asymmetric broadening may indeed lead to an electronic figure of merit well in excess of 1000 in an idealized situation and in excess of 10 in a realistic situation. We then substantiate with realistic resonant structures designed using graphene nano-ribbons by employing a tight binding framework with edge correction that match density functional theory calculations under the local density approximation. The calculated figure of merit exceeding 10 in such realistic structures further reinforces the concept and sets a promising direction to use nano-ribbon structures to engineer a favorable decrease in the electronic thermal conductivity.

Molecular mechanisms of neuronal death in glaucoma: development of a gene therapy approach for neuroprotection
Creators: name: Chitranshi, Nitin
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: In glaucoma, loss of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) and axons leads to blindness; preservation of RGC neurons is therefore a major therapeutic goal. Increasing pressure (intraocular pressure, IOP) is a major risk factor in primary open angle glaucoma (POAG). Therapeutic lowering of IOP has been shown to be protective against glaucoma. However, despite IOP lowering many patients continue to demonstrate progressive glaucomatous neuropathy thus warranting additional intervention strategies. Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and its high affinity receptor tropomyosin receptor kinase B (TrkB) are reported to play important role in preservation of RGCs. In this thesis, I have investigated BDNF-TrkB signaling in neuronal cells and have explored the binding pattern of agonist and antagonist to the neurotrophin receptors. I have also investigated TrkB activity by modulating Shp2 phosphatase (PTPN11) in SH-SY5Y cells, in both healthy rodents and an experimental glaucoma animal model, using viral vector gene therapy. The results show that BDNF regulates the GSK3β activity in RGC-5, PC-12 and animal RGCs. Shp2 modulation regulates TrkB phosphorylation and endoplasmic stress response in SH-SY5Y and in the RGCs of both healthy and experimental glaucoma animal models. Shp2 overexpression in SH-SY5Y cells and animal retina, was associated with TrkB antagonism, reduced neuritogenesis, loss of retinal structural & functional integrity and enhanced ER stress response leading to apoptotic changes. Conversely, Shp2 knock down in an animal model of elevated IOP resulted in protection of the retinal structural and functional integrity. These observations correlated with enhanced TrkB phosphorylation in RGCs in response to genetic knockdown of Shp2 expression in experimental animal glaucoma model. The current findings reinforce the role played by Shp2 in regulating signaling in neuronal cells and highlight that Shp2 dysregulation is detrimental for the inner retina. Based on these observations we propose that selective targeting of Shp2 in RGCs may be a promising therapeutic strategy in glaucoma.

description: The results of accurate quantum reactive scattering calculations for the D + HD($v=4$, $j=0$) $\to$ D + HD($v'$, $j'$), D + HD($v=4$, $j=0$) $\to$ H + D$_2$($v'$, $j'$) and H + D$_2$($v=4$, $j=0$) $\to$ D + HD($v'$,$j'$) reactions are presented for collision energies between $1\,μ{\rm K}$ and $100\,{\rm K}$. The ${\it ab\ initio}$ BKMP2 PES for the ground electronic state of H$_3$ is used and all values of total angular momentum between $J=0-4$ are included. The general vector potential approach is used to include the geometric phase. The rotationally resolved, vibrationally resolved, and total reaction rate coefficients are reported as a function of collision energy. Rotationally resolved differential cross sections are also reported as a function of collision energy and scattering angle. Large geometric phase effects appear in the ultracold reaction rate coefficients which result in a significant enhancement or suppression of the rate coefficient (up to $3$ orders of magnitude) relative to calculations which ignore the geometric phase. The results are interpreted using a new quantum interference mechanism which is unique to ultracold collisions. Significant effects of the geometric phase also appear in the rotationally resolved differential cross sections which lead to a very different oscillatory structure in both energy and scattering angle. Several shape resonances occur in the $1$ - $10\,{\rm K}$ energy range and the geometric phase is shown to significantly alter the predicted resonance spectrum. The geometric phase effects depend sensitively on the nuclear spin which may provide experimentalists with the ability to control the reaction by the selection of a particular nuclear spin state.

description: Instance-level image retrieval in fashion is a challenging issue owing to its increasing importance in real-scenario visual fashion search. Cross-domain fashion retrieval aims to match the unconstrained customer images as queries for photographs provided by retailers; however, it is a difficult task due to a wide range of consumer-to-shop (C2S) domain discrepancies and also considering that clothing image is vulnerable to various non-rigid deformations. To this end, we propose a novel multi-scale and multi-granularity feature learning network (MMFL-Net), which can jointly learn global-local aggregation feature representations of clothing images in a unified framework, aiming to train a cross-domain model for C2S fashion visual similarity. First, a new semantic-spatial feature fusion part is designed to bridge the semantic-spatial gap by applying top-down and bottom-up bidirectional multi-scale feature fusion. Next, a multi-branch deep network architecture is introduced to capture global salient, part-informed, and local detailed information, and extracting robust and discrimination feature embedding by integrating the similarity learning of coarse-to-fine embedding with the multiple granularities. Finally, the improved trihard loss, center loss, and multi-task classification loss are adopted for our MMFL-Net, which can jointly optimize intra-class and inter-class distance and thus explicitly improve intra-class compactness and inter-class discriminability between its visual representations for feature learning. Furthermore, our proposed model also combines the multi-task attribute recognition and classification module with multi-label semantic attributes and product ID labels. Experimental results demonstrate that our proposed MMFL-Net achieves significant improvement over the state-of-the-art methods on the two datasets, DeepFashion-C2S and Street2Shop.

description: Remarkable research activities and major advances have been occurred over the past decade in multiuser multiple-input multiple-output (MU-MIMO) systems. Several transmission technologies and precoding techniques have been developed in order to exploit the spatial dimension so that simultaneous transmission of independent data streams reuse the same radio resources. The achievable performance of such techniques heavily depends on the channel characteristics of the selected users, the amount of channel knowledge, and how efficiently interference is mitigated. In systems where the total number of receivers is larger than the number of total transmit antennas, user selection becomes a key approach to benefit from multiuser diversity and achieve full multiplexing gain. The overall performance of MU-MIMO systems is a complex joint multi-objective optimization problem since many variables and parameters have to be optimized, including the number of users, the number of antennas, spatial signaling, rate and power allocation, and transmission technique. The objective of this literature survey is to provide a comprehensive overview of the various methodologies used to approach the aforementioned joint optimization task in the downlink of MU-MIMO communication systems.

description: We present spectra of the extreme polar AR Ursae Majoris (AR UMa) which display a clear Al I absorption doublet, alongside spectra taken less than a year earlier in which that feature is not present. Re-examination of earlier SDSS spectra indicates that the Al I absorption doublet was also present $\approx$8 years before our first non-detection. We conclude that this absorbing material is unlikely to be on the surface of either the white dwarf (WD) or the donor star. We suggest that this Al I absorption feature arises in circumstellar material, perhaps produced by the evaporation of asteroids as they approach the hot WD. The presence of any remaining reservoir of rocky material in AR UMa might help to constrain the prior evolution of this unusual binary system. We also apply spectral decomposition to find the stellar parameters of the M dwarf companion, and attempt to dynamically measure the mass of the WD in AR UMa by considering both the radial velocity curves of the H$_β$ emission line and the Na I absorption line. Thereby we infer a mass range for the WD in AR UMa of 0.91 $M_{\odot}$ $

description: Condensate clouds fundamentally impact the atmospheric structure and spectra of exoplanets and brown dwarfs but the connections between surface gravity, cloud structure, dust in the upper atmosphere, and the red colors of some brown dwarfs remain poorly understood. Rotational modulations enable the study of different clouds in the same atmosphere, thereby providing a method to isolate the effects of clouds. Here we present the discovery of high peak-to-peak amplitude (8%) rotational modulations in a low-gravity, extremely red (J-Ks=2.55) L6 dwarf WISEP J004701.06+680352.1 (W0047). Using the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) time-resolved grism spectroscopy we find a best-fit rotational period (13.20$\pm$0.14 hours) with a larger amplitude at 1.1 micron than at 1.7 micron. This is the third largest near-infrared variability amplitude measured in a brown dwarf, demonstrating that large-amplitude variations are not limited to the L/T transition but are present in some extremely red L-type dwarfs. We report a tentative trend between the wavelength dependence of relative amplitude, possibly proxy for small dust grains lofted in the upper atmosphere, and the likelihood of large-amplitude variability. By assuming forsterite as haze particle, we successfully explain the wavelength dependent amplitude with submicron-sized haze particles sizes of around 0.4 μm. W0047 links the earlier spectral and later spectral type brown dwarfs in which rotational modulations have been observed, the large amplitude variations in this object make this a benchmark brown dwarf for the study of cloud properties close to the L/T transition.

description: Wannier-Mott excitons in a semiconductor layered superlattice (SL) of period much smaller than the 2D exciton Bohr radius in the presence of a longitudinal external dc electric field directed parallel to the SL axis are investigated analytically. The exciton states and the optical absorption coefficient are derived in the tight-binding and adiabatic approximations. Strong and weak electric fields providing spatially localized and extended electron and hole states, respectively, are studied. The dependencies of the exciton states and the exciton absorption spectrum on the SL parameters and the electric field strength are presented in an explicit form. We focus on the fine structure of the ground quasi-2D exciton level formed by the series of closely spaced energy levels adjacent for higher frequencies. These levels are related to the adiabatically slow relative exciton longitudinal motion governed by the potential formed by the in-plane exciton state. It is shown that the external electric fields compress the fine structure energy levels, decrease the intensities of the corresponding optical peaks and increase the exciton binding energy. A possible experimental study of the fine structure of the exciton electroabsorption is discussed.

Exact partition functions for deformed $\mathcal{N}=2$ theories with $N_{f}=4$ flavours

description: We consider the $Ω$-deformed $\mathcal{N}=2$ $SU(2)$ gauge theory in four dimensions with $N_{f}=4$ massive fundamental hypermultiplets. The low energy effective action depends on the deformation parameters $\varepsilon_{1}, \varepsilon_{2}$, the scalar field expectation value $a$, and the hypermultiplet masses ${\bf m}=(m_{1}, m_{2}, m_{3}, m_{4})$. Motivated by recent findings in the $\mathcal{N}=2^{*}$ theory, we explore the theories that are characterized by special fixed ratios $\varepsilon_{2}/\varepsilon_{1}$ and ${\bf m}/\varepsilon_{1}$ and propose a simple condition on the structure of the multi-instanton contributions to the prepotential determining the effective action. This condition determines a finite set $Π_{N}$ of special points such that the prepotential has $N$ poles at fixed positions independent on the instanton number. In analogy with what happens in the $\mathcal{N}=2^{*}$ gauge theory, the full prepotential of the $Π_{N}$ theories may be given in closed form as an explicit function of $a$ and the modular parameter $q$ appearing in special combinations of Eisenstein series and Jacobi theta functions with well defined modular properties. The resulting finite pole partition functions are related by AGT correspondence to special 4-point spherical conformal blocks of the Virasoro algebra. We examine in full details special cases where the closed expression of the block is known and confirms our Ansatz. We systematically study the special features of Zamolodchikov's recursion for the $Π_{N}$ conformal blocks. As a result, we provide a novel effective recursion relation that can be exactly solved and allows to prove the conjectured closed expressions analytically in the case of the $Π_{1}$ and $Π_{2}$ conformal blocks.

description: We present a comparative study of the influence of dispersion induced phase noise for CO-OFDM systems using Tx channel multiplexing and Rx matched filter (analogue hardware based); and FFT multiplexing/IFFT demultiplexing techniques (software based). An RF carrier pilot tone is used to mitigate the phase noise influence. From the analysis, it appears that the phase noise influence for the two OFDM implementations is very similar. The software based system provides a method for a rigorous evaluation of the phase noise variance caused by Common Phase Error (CPE) and Inter-Carrier Interference (ICI) and this, in turns, leads to a BER specification. Numerical results focus on a CO-OFDM system with 1GS/s QPSK channel modulation. Worst case BER results are evaluated and compared to the BER of a QPSK system with the same capacity as the OFDM implementation. Results are evaluated as a function of transmission distance, and for the QPSK system the influence of equalization enhanced phase noise (EEPN) is included. For both types of systems, the phase noise variance increases significantly with increasing transmission distance. An important and novel observation is that the two types of systems have very closely the same BER as a function of transmission distance for the same capacity. For the high capacity QPSK implementation, the increase in BER is due to EEPN, whereas for the OFDM approach it is due to the dispersion caused walk-off of the RF pilot tone relative to the OFDM signal channels. For a total capacity of 400 Gb/s, the transmission distance to have the BER < 10-4 is less than 277 km.

description: Optimum design of efficient nanowire solar cells requires better understanding of light diffusion in a nanowire array. Here we demonstrate that our recently developed ultrafast all-optical shutter can be used to directly measure the dwell time of light in a nanowire array. Our measurements on disordered ZnO nanowire arrays, "nanowire forests," indicate that the photon mean free path and the dwell time of light can be well predicted from SEM images.

Im ersten Teil wird die Geschichte von Chojniki vor und vor allem nach dem Jahr 1986 zusammenfassend geschildert. Anschließend reflektiert die aus dem Rayon Chojniki stammende Germanistin Ekaterina Jadtschenko die aktuelle Lage und ihren eigenen Weg von einer Sympathisantin des Präsidenten Lukaschenka zur Aktivistin der demokratischen Protestbewegung.
Modelling the multi-wavelength emission of flat spectrum radio quasar 3C 279

description: We employ a length-dependent conical jet model for the jet structure and emission properties of flat spectrum radio quasar 3C 279 in the steady state. In the model, ultra-relativistic leptons are injected at the base of jet and propagate along the jet structure, non-thermal photons are produced by both synchrotron emission and inverse Comtpon scattering off synchrotron photons and external soft photons at each segment of jet. We derive the total energy spectra contribution through integrating every segment. We apply the model to the quasi-simultaneous multi-wavelength observed data of two quiescent epoches. Using the observed radio data of source, we determine the length of jet $L\sim 100$ pc, and magnetic field $B_{0}\sim 0.1-1$ G at the base of jet. Assuming a steady geometry of the jet structure and suitable physical parameters, we reproduce the multi-wavelength spectra during two quiescent observed epoches, respectively. Our results show that the initial $γ$-ray emission site takes place at $\sim 0.5$ pc from black hole.

description: Wenn Svetlana Tichanovskaja bei ihrem Auftritt vor den EU-Außenminister*innen in Brüssel am 21. September 2020 sagt: „The Belarus the world has not seen before“, frage ich mich: Hat die Welt Belarus davor überhaupt gesehen? Ich blicke auf eigene Erfahrungen zurück, oft konnten die an meiner Herkunft interessierten Gesprächspartner*innen mit dem Namen „Belarus“ nichts anfangen. In den meisten Fällen bedurfte es einer weiteren Erklärung: Weißrussland. Auch damit konnte man nicht viel assoziieren, wenngleich der Wortteil „Russland“ immerhin eine geographische Orientierung gab. Gleichzeitig wurden wir, Belarus*innen in Deutschland, häufig nicht nur mit der Unkenntnis über Belarus, sondern auch mit einem offensichtlichen, beinahe an Arroganz grenzenden Desinteresse an dem Land konfrontiert. Die Gründe dafür sind vielfältig, ein wesentlicher ist, die durch den Kalten Krieg bedingte Blindheit für Regionen im Osten. So war auch Belarus lange Zeit für die Welt unsichtbar.

description: The special relativistic hydrodynamics with weak gravity is hitherto unknown in the literature. Whether such an asymmetric combination is possible was unclear. Here, the hydrodynamic equations with Poisson-type gravity considering fully relativistic velocity and pressure under the weak gravity and the action-at-a-distance limit are consistently derived from Einstein's general relativity. Analysis is made in the maximal slicing where the Poisson's equation becomes much simpler than our previous study in the zero-shear gauge. Also presented is the hydrodynamic equations in the first post-Newtonian approximation, now under the {\it general} hypersurface condition. Our formulation includes the anisotropic stress.

Παρατηρείται επίσης ότι όσο αναπτύσσονται οι ΤΠΕ τόσο βελτιώνονται οι προσφερόμενες υπηρεσίες των δημόσιων φορέων και απλουστεύονται οι απαιτούμενες από τον πολίτη διαδικασίες. Από την εφαρμογή των πολιτικών της Ευρωπαϊκής Ένωσης για την περιφερειακή ανάπτυξη των χωρών της Ευρώπης και τη χρηματοδότησή τους σχετικά με την ανάπτυξη των ΤΠΕ, συμπεραίνουμε τη σημαντικότητα αυτών για τη βελτίωση των προσφερόμενων δημοσίων υπηρεσιών. Η νομοθέτηση και το κατάλληλο θεσμικό πλαίσιο έχουν τον κεντρικό ρόλο στην εξέλιξη και τη χρήση των ΤΠΕ για τον εκσυγχρονισμό του κράτους και τη συνεχή αναβάθμιση της παροχής υπηρεσιών του προς πολίτες και επιχειρήσεις. Είναι προφανές ότι η κάθε προσπάθεια νομοθέτησης επηρεάζεται και σε μεγάλο βαθμό εξαρτάται, από το δίκαιο της Ευρωπαϊκής Ένωσης, το οποίο επιβάλλεται μέσω των κανονισμών και των οδηγιών στα κράτη – μέλη της και άρα και στην χώρα μας. Στην εργασία που ακολουθεί θα γίνει προσπάθεια καταγραφής της νομοθεσίας της Ευρωπαϊκής Ένωσης και της Ελλάδας αναφορικά με τις ΤΠΕ και το πώς η χρήση τους επηρέασε την απλούστευση των διοικητικών διαδικασιών κυρίως στον δημόσιο τομέα τα τελευταία σαράντα περίπου χρόνια. Στη συνέχεια θα γίνει εκτενής αναφορά στη λειτουργία της Γενικής Γραμματείας Αθλητισμού, Υπηρεσίας του Υπουργείου Πολιτισμού και Αθλητισμού με αποκλειστική αρμοδιότητα την ανάπτυξη του αθλητισμού στη χώρα μας.
