description: We calculate the Casimir forces in two configurations, namely, three parallel dielectric slabs and a dielectric slab between two perfectly conducting plates, where the dielectric materials are dispersive and inhomogeneous in the direction perpendicular to the interfaces. A renormalization scheme is proposed consisting of subtracting the effect of one interface with a single inhomogeneous medium. Some examples are worked out to illustrate this scheme. Our method always gives finite results and is consistent with the principle of virtual work; it extends the Dzyaloshinskii-Lifshitz-Pitaeveskii force to inhomogeneous media.

description: $^{75}$As nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) measurements have been carried out to investigate the magnetic and electronic properties of the filled skutterudite metallic compound SrFe$_4$As$_{12}$. The temperature dependence of Knight shift $K$ determined by the NQR spectrum under a small magnetic field ($\le$ 0.5 T) shows the similar temperature dependence of the magnetic susceptibility $χ$ which exhibits a broad maximum at $T^\ast$ $\sim$ 50 K. The nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rate divided by temperature, 1/$T_1T$, increases with decreasing temperature and exhibits a broad maximum at $T$ $\sim$ 70 K, similar to the case of $χ$. The temperature dependence of $K$ and $1/T_1T$ is reasonably explained by a simple model where we assume a concave-shaped band structure near the Fermi energy. Based on a Korringa ratio analysis using the $T_1$ and $K$ data, ferromagnetic spin fluctuations are found to exist in SrFe$_4$As$_{12}$. These results indicate that SrFe$_4$As$_{12}$ can be characterized to be a metal with ferromagnetic correlations and also the peculiar band structure responsible for the suppression of $1/T_1T$ and $K$ at low temperatures.

description: By periodical two-step modulation, we demonstrate that the dynamics of multilevel system can still evolve even in multiple large detunings regime, and provide the effective Hamiltonian (of interest) for this system. We then illustrate this periodical modulation in quantum state engineering, including achieving direct transition from the ground state to the Rydberg state or the desired superposition of two Rydberg states without satisfying two-photon resonance condition, switching between Rydberg blockade regime and Rydberg antiblockade regime, stimulating distinct atomic transitions by the same laser field, and implementing selective transitions in the same multilevel system. Particularly, it is robust against perturbation of control parameters. Another advantage is that the waveform of laser field has simple square-wave form which is readily implemented in experiments. Thus, it offers us a novel method of quantum state engineering in quantum information processing.

description: A two-component Coulomb gas confined by walls made of ideal dielectric material is considered. In two dimensions at the special inverse temperature $β= 2$, by using the Pfaffian method, the system is mapped onto a four-component Fermi field theory with specific boundary conditions. The exact solution is presented for a semi-infinite geometry of the dielectric wall (the density profiles, the correlation functions) and for the strip geometry (the surface tension, a finite-size correction of the grand potential). The universal finite-size correction of the grand potential is shown to be a consequence of the good screening properties, and its generalization is derived for the conducting Coulomb gas confined in a slab of arbitrary dimension $\ge 2$ at any temperature.

description: We continue to see increasingly widespread deployment of IoT devices, with apparent intent to embed them in our built environment likely to accelerate if smart city and related programmes succeed. In this paper we are concerned with the ways in which current generation IoT devices are being designed in terms of their ill-considered dependencies on network connectivity and services. Our hope is to provide evidence that such dependencies need to be better thought through in design, and better documented in implementation so that those responsible for deploying these devices can be properly informed as to the impact of device deployment (at scale) on infrastructure resilience. We believe this will be particularly relevant as we feel that commodity IoT devices are likely to be commonly used to retrofit `smart' capabilities to existing buildings, particularly domestic buildings. To the existing body of work on network-level behaviour of IoT devices, we add \one~a protocol-level breakdown and analysis of periodicity, \two~an exploration of the service and infrastructure dependencies that will implicitly be taken in `smart' environments when IoT devices are deployed, and \three~examination of the robustness of device operation when connectivity is disrupted. We find that many devices make use of services distributed across the planet and thus appear dependent on the global network infrastructure even when carrying out purely local actions. Some devices cease to operate properly without network connectivity (even where their behaviour appears, on the face of it, to require only local information, e.g.,~the Hive thermostat). Further, they exhibit quite different network behaviours, typically involving significantly more traffic and possibly use of otherwise unobserved protocols, when connectivity is recovered after some disruption.

description: Dada a forte divulgação e crescente adesão à criação e utilização de imagens HDR (High Dynamic Range), quer de fotografias do mundo real quer imagens geradas por computador através de software específico, tornase necessário permitir a sua adequada visualização nos dispositivos de visualização convencionais, incluindo os pequenos e limitados, mas amplamente difundidos, dispositivos com ecrã pequeno (DEP) como os Personal Digital Assistants (PDA). Apesar do considerável esforço na melhoria destes dispositivos, as suas limitações continuam a ser notórias, salientando-se o reduzido tamanho, resolução e gama de cores disponíveis. Conforme demonstrámos em experiências anteriores, este tipo de dispositivos necessitam de um operador de mapeamento de tons (Tone Mapping Operator - TMO) adequado que maximize a percepção de imagens HDR. Neste artigo expomos o estado actual do desenvolvimento deste novo TMO para DEP.

description: We solve the attractive Hubbard model for arbitrary interaction strengths within dynamical mean-field theory. We compute the transition temperature for superconductivity and analyze electron pairing in the normal phase. The normal state is a Fermi liquid at weak coupling and a non-Fermi liquid state with a spin gap at strong coupling. Away from half-filling, the quasi-particle weight vanishes discontinuously at the transition between the two normal states.

description: Although the effects and the underlying mechanism of sympathetic stimulation on cardiac Ca handling are relatively well established both in health and disease, the modes of action and mechanisms of parasympathetic modulation are poorly defined. Here, we demonstrate that parasympathetic stimulation initiates a novel mode of excitation–contraction coupling that enhances the efficiency of cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca store utilization. This efficient mode of excitation–contraction coupling involves reciprocal changes in the phosphorylation of ryanodine receptor 2 at Ser-2808 and Ser-2814. Specifically, Ser-2808 phosphorylation was mediated by muscarinic receptor subtype 2 and activation of PKG (protein kinase G), whereas dephosphorylation of Ser-2814 involved activation of muscarinic receptor subtype 3 and decreased reactive oxygen species–dependent activation of CaMKII (Ca/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II). The overall effect of these changes in phosphorylation of ryanodine receptor 2 is an increase in systolic Ca release at the low sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca content and a paradoxical reduction in aberrant Ca leak. Accordingly, cholinergic stimulation of cardiomyocytes isolated from failing hearts improved Ca cycling efficiency by restoring altered ryanodine receptor 2 phosphorylation balance.
Multi-Chain Mean-Field Theory of Quasi One-Dimensional Quantum Spin Systems

description: A multi-chain mean-field theory is developed and applied to a two-dimensional system of weakly coupled S=1/2 Heisenberg chains. The environment of a chain C_0 is modeled by a number of neighbor chains C_d, d = +/-1,...,+/-n, with the edge chains (d=+/-n) coupled to a staggered field. Using a quantum Monte Carlo method, the effective (2n+1)-chain Hamiltonian is solved self-consistently for $n$ up to 4. The results are compared with simulation results for the original Hamiltonian on large rectangular lattices. Both methods show that the staggered magnetization M for small interchain couplings alpha behaves as M=A*alpha^1/2 enhanced by a multiplicative logarithmic correction.

PYTHIA and the preoccupied proton

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2018
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The PYTHIA Monte Carlo (PMC) has been applied broadly to simulations of high-energy $p$-$p$ and $p$-$\bar p$ collisions. The PMC is based on several assumptions, such as that most hadrons result from jet production (multiple parton interactions or MPIs), that $p$-$p$ centrality is relevant and that color reconnection (CR) strongly influences fragmentation to jets. An alternative description is provided by the two-component (soft + hard) model (TCM) of hadron production. TCM analysis of $p$-Pb ensemble-mean-$p_t$ data reveals centrality trends quite different from those estimated via a geometric Glauber model based on the eikonal approximation. Glauber estimates of binary-collision number are three times TCM estimates. Detailed study of $p$-Pb data conflicts with a basic Glauber assumption -- that a projectile proton may interact simultaneously with multiple target nucleons. Instead, in both $p$-$p$ and $p$-A collisions, a $p$-N collision once initiated is exclusive of other possible interactions (during that collision), and within the collision any pair of participant partons may interact -- a $p$-N collision is thus "all or nothing." In this presentation the PMC is challenged by an assortment of contradictory data, and evidence for $p$-N exclusivity is reviewed to make a case for the "preoccupied proton" of the title.

description: The time and size distribution of the waves of topplings in the Abelian sandpile model are expressed as the first arrival at the origin distribution for a scale invariant, time inhomogeneous Fokker-Planck equation. Assuming a linear conjecture for the the time inhomogeneity exponent as function of loop erased random walk (LERW) critical exponent, suggested by numerical results, this approach allows to estimate the lower critical dimension of the model and the exact value of the critical exponent for LERW in three dimension. The avalanche size distribution in two dimensions is found to be the difference between two closed power laws.

In this paper, based on the shortcuts to adiabaticity (STA), we propose a scheme to construct a three-qubit nonadiabatic holonomic gate in a cavity quantum electrodynamics system. In the scheme, the three-qubit holonomic gate is implemented in a single step. Besides, numerical simulations show that the constructed holonomic quantum gate holds the characteristics of high-fidelity, decoherence-resistance and error-immunity.

description: In the standard rebound theory of earthquakes, elastic deformation energy is progressively stored in the crust until a threshold is reached at which it is suddenly released in an earthquake. We review three important paradoxes, the strain paradox, the stress paradox and the heat flow paradox, that are difficult to account for in this picture, either individually or when taken together. Resolutions of these paradoxes usually call for additional assumptions on the nature of the rupture process (such as novel modes of deformations and ruptures) prior to and/or during an earthquake, on the nature of the fault and on the effect of trapped fluids within the crust at seismogenic depths. We review the evidence for the essential importance of water and its interaction with the modes of deformations. Water is usually seen to have mainly the mechanical effect of decreasing the normal lithostatic stress in the fault core on one hand and to weaken rock materials via hydrolytic weakening and stress corrosion on the other hand. We also review the evidences that water plays a major role in the alteration of minerals subjected to finite strains into other structures in out-of-equilibrium conditions. This suggests novel exciting routes to understand what is an earthquake, that requires to develop a truly multidisciplinary approach involving mineral chemistry, geology, rupture mechanics and statistical physics.

description: A constrained experimental region (CER) involving mixture variables or nonmixture variables is generally specified by lower and/or upper bounds on the variables and possibly by lower and/or upper bounds on linear combinations of the variables. Additionally, the proportions of mixture variables typically are constrained to sum to unity. In some cases, an experimental design generated to explore the CER may contain unacceptable points (e.g., infeasible points or points with undesirable response values). This may not be discovered until after the experiment has been completed. In such cases, it can be desirable to repair the experimental design and the CER so that they contain only acceptable points. Two approaches for performing such repairs are discussed. The first approach repairs the CER to exclude unacceptable subregions, then uses existing optimal design methodology to select design points to repair the design. The new second approach (i) replaces each unacceptable design point with an acceptable design point and (ii) adds one new constraint associated with each replacement design point to repair the CER. Both approaches are illustrated with a three-component mixture experiment example that permits visualization. A 15-component mixture experiment example is also used to illustrate the new second approach, which is reasonable for experiments with many variables. Finally, an example involving three nonmixture variables is provided in supplementary material. Applying the approaches for repairing experimental designs and CERs to problems with both mixture and nonmixture variables is briefly discussed.

description: We develop a general technique to calculate the probability of transitions over the barriers in spin-glasses in the framework of the dynamical theory. We use Lagrangian formulation of the instanton dynamics in which the transitions are represented by instantons. We derive the full set of the equations that determine the instantons but instead of solving them directly we prove that an instanton process can be mapped into a usual process going back in time which simplifies the problem significantly. We apply this general considerations to a simple example of the spherical Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model and we find the probability of the transition between the metastable states which is in agreement with physical expectations.

description: We report the molecular beam epitaxial growth, structure, and electronic measurements of single-crystalline LaAuSb films on Al$_2$O$_3$ (0001) substrates. LaAuSb belongs to a broad family of hexagonal $ABC$ intermetallics in which the magnitude and sign of layer buckling have strong effects on properties, e.g., predicted hyperferroelecticity, polar metallicity, and Weyl and Dirac states. Scanning transmission electron microscopy reveals highly buckled planes of Au-Sb atoms, with strong interlayer Au-Au interactions and a doubling of the unit cell. This buckling is four times larger than the buckling observed in other $ABC$s with similar composition, e.g. LaAuGe and LaPtSb. Photoemission spectroscopy measurements and comparison with theory suggest an electronic driving force for the Au-Au dimerization, since LaAuSb, with a 19-electron count, has one more valence electron per formula unit than most stable $ABC$s. Our results suggest that the electron count, in addition to conventional parameters such as epitaxial strain and chemical pressure, provides a powerful means for tuning the layer buckling in ferroic $ABC$s.

description: The depletion interaction between two parallel repulsive walls confining a dilute solution of long and flexible polymer chains is studied by field-theoretic methods. Special attention is paid to self-avoidance between chain monomers relevant for polymers in a good solvent. Our direct approach avoids the mapping of the actual polymer chains on effective hard or soft spheres. We compare our results with recent Monte Carlo simulations [A. Milchev and K. Binder, Eur. Phys. J. B 3, 477 (1998)] and with experimental results for the depletion interaction between a spherical colloidal particle and a planar wall in a dilute solution of nonionic polymers [D. Rudhardt, C. Bechinger, and P. Leiderer, Phys. Rev. Lett. 81, 1330 (1998)].

description: We start by reviewing some interesting results in mesoscopic physics illustrating nontrivial insights on Quantum Mechanics. We then review the general principles of dephasing (sometimes called "decoherence") of Quantum-Mechanical interference by coupling to the environment degrees of freedom. A particular recent example of dephasing by a current-carrying (nonequilibrium) system is then discussed in some detail. This system is itself a manifestly Quantum Mechanical one and this is another illustration of detection without the need for "classical observers" etc. We conclude by describing briefly a recent problem having to do with the orbital magnetic response of conduction electrons (another manifestly Quantum Mechanical property): The magnetic response of a normal layer (N) coating a superconducting cylinder (S). Some recent very intriguing experimental results on a giant paramagnetic component of this response are explained using special states in the normal layer. It is hoped that these discussions illustrate not only the vitality and interest of mesoscopic physics\cite{book} but also its extreme relevance to fundamental issues in Quantum Mechanics.

description: Chiral plasmonic nanostructures will be of increasing importance for future applications in the field of nano optics and metamaterials. Their sensitivity to incident circularly polarized light in combination with the ability of extreme electromagnetic field localization renders them ideal candidates for chiral sensing and for all-optical information processing. Here, the resonant modes of single plasmonic helices are investigated. We find that a single plasmonic helix can be efficiently excited with circularly polarized light of both equal and opposite handedness relative to that of the helix. An analytic model provides resonance conditions matching the results of full-field modeling. The underlying geometric considerations explain the mechanism of excitation and deliver quantitative design rules for plasmonic helices being resonant in a desired wavelength range. Based on the developed analytical design tool, single silver helices were fabricated and optically characterized. They show the expected strong chiroptical response to both handednesses in the targeted visible range. With a value of 0.45 the experimentally realized dissymmetry factor is the largest obtained for single plasmonic helices in the visible range up to now.

description: We report up to ten-fold enhancement of the photoresponsivity of monolayer MoS$_2$ by treatment with O$_2$:Ar (1:3) plasma. We characterize the surface of plasma-exposed MoS$_2$ by TEM, Raman and PL mapping and discuss the role of MoO$_x$ in improving the photocurrent generation in our devices. At the highest tested laser power of 0.1 mW, we find ten-fold enhancements to both the output current and carrier field-effect mobility under the illumination wavelength of 488 nm. We suggest that the improvement of electrical performance is due to the surface presence of MoO$_x$ resulting from the chemical conversion of MoS$_2$ by the oxygen-containing plasma. Our results highlight the beneficial role of plasma treatment as a fast and convenient way of improving the properties of synthetic 2D MoS$_2$ devices for future consideration in optoelectronics research.

description: Introduction:Gloriosa superba is a flowering plant that contains colchicine. Deliberate self-poisoning with this plant in Sri Lanka is common and potentially fatal. The objective of this study was to describe the epidemiology, toxicokinetics and selected biomarkers in these patients. Materials and methods: The study consisted of three parts; epidemiologic and outcome data (n = 297), concentrations and toxicokinetics (n = 72), evaluation of urinary and serum biomarkers (n = 45). Plasma colchicine levels were measured by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). We also measured serum biomarkers: creatinine (sCr), cystatin C (sCysC) and creatine kinase (CK), and urinary biomarkers: creatinine, kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM – 1), clusterin, albumin, beta-2-microglobulin (β2M), cystatin C, neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), osteopontin (OPN) and trefoil factor 3 (TFF3). Results: The case fatality was 10% (29/297), and death was much more common in older patients. Median concentrations of colchicine were higher in those over 65 [median 4.7 ng/mL (IQR: 1.7–6.6) vs. 1.2 (IQR: 0.2–2.7) for those <35]. Admission colchicine concentrations were highly correlated with a fatal outcome [median 7.8 ng/ml (IQR: 5.8–18.7) vs 1.2 (0–2.3) in survivors]. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC-ROC) for uncorrected admission colchicine level was highly predictive of a fatal outcome, and this improved even further with two methods we developed to correct for the expected change with time. The best method had an AUC-ROC of 0.98 (95%CI 0.94–1.00) in predicting death, with 100% sensitivity and 96% specificity at the best cut-point. Discussion: Fatal outcomes and high concentrations were both much more common in the elderly following poisoning with Gloriosa superba. Our findings are consistent with kinetic data after medicinal colchicine ingestion. Conclusions:Gloriosa superba self-poisoning causes significant mortality. High concentration of colchicine is highly predictive of a fatal outcome. Ingestion of Gloriosa superba caused only mild acute kidney injury (AKI) and rhabdomyolysis.
A novel search for gravitationally lensed radio sources in wide-field VLBI imaging from the mJIVE-20 survey

description: We present a novel pilot search for gravitational lenses in the mJIVE-20 survey, which observed $24\,903$ radio sources selected from FIRST with the VLBA at an angular resolution of 5 mas. We have taken the visibility data for an initial $3\,640$ sources that were detected by the mJIVE-20 observations and re-mapped them to make wide-field images, selecting fourteen sources that had multiple components separated by $\geq100$ mas, with a flux-ratio of $\leq15$:$1$ and a surface brightness consistent with gravitational lensing. Two of these candidates are re-discoveries of gravitational lenses found as part of CLASS. The remaining twelve candidates were then re-observed at 1.4 GHz and then simultaneously at 4.1 and 7.1 GHz with the VLBA to measure the spectral index and surface brightness of the individual components as a function of frequency. Ten were rejected as core-jet or core-hotspot(s) systems, with surface brightness distributions and/or spectral indices inconsistent with gravitational lensing, and one was rejected after lens modelling demonstrated that the candidate lensed images failed the parity test. The final lens candidate has an image configuration that is consistent with a simple lens mass model, although further observations are required to confirm the lensing nature. Given the two confirmed gravitational lenses in the mJIVE-20 sample, we find a robust lensing-rate of $1$:($318\pm225$) for a statistical sample of 635 radio sources detected on mas-scales, which is consistent with that found for CLASS.

description: We present high-precision quantum Monte Carlo results for the S=1/2 XY model on a two-dimensional square lattice, in the ground state as well as at finite temperature. The energy, the spin stiffness, the magnetization, and the susceptibility are calculated and extrapolated to the thermodynamic limit. For the ground state, we test a variety of finite-size scaling predictions of effective Lagrangian theory and find good agreement and consistency between the finite-size corrections for different quantities. The low-temperature behavior of the susceptibility and the internal energy is also in good agreement with theoretical predictions.

description: As interfaces caligráficas apresentam uma forma natural para utilizadores interagirem com aplicações. Dado que o núcleo de uma interface caligráfica é o seu reconhecedor, existe a necessidade de avaliação de diversos reconhecedores antes de optar pela utilização de um. Neste artigo apresentamos uma avaliação de três reconhecedores caligráficos: o reconhecedor de Rubine, o reconhecedor de $1 e o reconhecedor CALI. A avaliação foi realizada com base em amostras caligráficas reais, desenhadas por 32 participantes, com um conjunto de símbolos selecionados para utilização num trabalho futuro. Para além disto, discutimos também alguns aperfeiçoamentos realizados à implementação dos reconhecedores e que ajudaram a obter taxas de reconhecimento superiores. No final, o CALI obteve a melhor taxa de reconhecimento com 94% de sucesso, seguido do reconhecedor de $1 com 87% e finalmente pelo reconhecedor de Rubine com 79%.

Interpreting the relation between the gamma-ray and infrared luminosities of star-forming galaxies

description: It has been found that there is a quasi-linear scaling relationship between the gamma-ray luminosity in GeV energies and the total infrared luminosity of star-forming galaxies, i.e. $L_γ\propto L_{\rm IR}^α$ with $α\simeq 1$. However, the origin of this linear slope is not well understood. Although extreme starburst galaxies can be regarded as calorimeters for hadronic cosmic ray interaction and thus a quasi-linear scaling may hold, it may not be the case for low star-formation-rate (SFR) galaxies, as the majority of cosmic rays in these galaxies are expected to escape. We calculate the gamma-ray production efficiency in star-forming galaxies by considering realistic galaxy properties, such as the gas density and galactic wind velocity in star-forming galaxies. We find that the slope for the relation between gamma-ray luminosity and the infrared luminosity gets steeper for low infrared luminosity galaxies, i.e. $α\rightarrow 1.6$, due to increasingly lower efficiency for the production of gamma-ray emission. We further find that the measured data of the gamma-ray luminosity is compatible with such a steepening. The steepening in the slope suggests that cosmic-ray escape is very important in low-SFR galaxies.
