Strength of reduced two-body spin-orbit interaction from chiral three-nucleon force

Subjects: subject: Nuclear Theory (nucl-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The contribution of a chiral three-nucleon force to the strength of an effective spin-orbit coupling is estimated. We first construct a reduced two-body interaction by folding one-nucleon degrees of freedom of the three-nucleon force in nuclear matter. The spin-orbit strength is evaluated by a Scheerbaum factor obtained by the $G$-matrix calculation in nuclear matter with the two-nucleon interaction plus the reduced two-nucleon interaction. The problem of the insufficiency of modern realistic two-nucleon interactions to account for the empirical spin-orbit strength is resolved. It is also indicated that the spin-orbit coupling is weaker in the neutron-rich environment. Because the spin-orbit component from the three-nucleon force is determined by the low-energy constants fixed in the two-nucleon sector, there is little uncertainty in the present estimation.

description: Despite the increasing popularity of metaheuristics, many crucially important questions remain unanswered. There are two important issues: theoretical framework and the gap between theory and applications. At the moment, the practice of metaheuristics is like heuristic itself, to some extent, by trial and error. Mathematical analysis lags far behind, apart from a few, limited, studies on convergence analysis and stability, there is no theoretical framework for analyzing metaheuristic algorithms. I believe mathematical and statistical methods using Markov chains and dynamical systems can be very useful in the future work. There is no doubt that any theoretical progress will provide potentially huge insightful into meteheuristic algorithms.

description: One of the fundamental properties of the quark-gluon plasma (QGP), the equation of state, is a subject of extensive studies in lattice QCD and an essential requirement for the correct hydrodynamic modeling of heavy-ion collisions. Lattice QCD provides first-principle calculations for the physics in the non-perturbative regime. In this contribution, we report on recent progress by the HotQCD collaboration in studying the 2+1 flavor equation of state on lattices with the temporal extent N_tau=6, 8, 10 and 12 in Highly Improved Staggered Quarks (HISQ) discretization scheme. Comparisons with equation of state calculations with different fermion actions are also discussed.

description: We investigate the dust-to-gas mass ratio and the environmental effects on the various components of the interstellar medium for a spatially resolved sample of Virgo spirals. We have used the IRAM-30m telescope to map over their full extent NGC 4189, NGC 4298, NGC 4388, and NGC 4299 in the 12CO(1-0) and the 12CO(2-1) lines. We observed the same lines in selected regions of NGC 4351, NGC 4294, and NGC 4424. The CO observations are combined with Herschel maps in 5 bands between 100-500 μm from the HeViCS survey, and with HI data from the VIVA survey, to obtain spatially resolved dust and gas distributions. We studied the environmental dependencies by adding to our sample eight galaxies with 12CO(1-0) maps from the literature. We estimate the integrated mass of molecular hydrogen for the galaxies observed in the CO lines. We find molecular-to-total gas mass fractions between 0.04 \leq fmol \leq 0.65, with the lowest values for the dimmest galaxy in the B-band. The integrated dust-to-gas ratio ranges between 0.011 and 0.004. For the 12 mapped galaxies we derive the radial distributions of the atomic gas, molecular gas, and dust. We also study the effect of different CO-to-H2 conversion factors. Both the molecular gas and the dust distributions show steeper radial profiles for HI-deficient galaxies and the average dust-to-gas ratio for these galaxies increases or stays radially constant. On scales of \sim 3 kpc, we find a strong correlation between the molecular gas and the 250 micron surface brightness that is tighter than average for non-deficient galaxies. The correlation becomes linear if we consider the total gas surface mass density. However, the inclusion of atomic hydrogen does not improve the statistical significance of the correlation. The environment can modify the distributions of molecules and dust within a galaxy, although these components are more tightly bound than the atomic gas.

description: We present Herschel SPIRE FTS spectroscopy of the nearby luminous infrared galaxy NGC 6240. In total 20 lines are detected, including CO J=4-3 through J=13-12, 6 H2O rotational lines, and [CI] and [NII] fine-structure lines. The CO to continuum luminosity ratio is 10 times higher in NGC 6240 than Mrk 231. Although the CO ladders of NGC 6240 and Mrk 231 are very similar, UV and/or X-ray irradiation are unlikely to be responsible for the excitation of the gas in NGC 6240. We applied both C and J shock models to the H2 v=1-0 S(1) and v=2-1 S(1) lines and the CO rotational ladder. The CO ladder is best reproduced by a model with shock velocity v_s=10 km s^-1 and a pre-shock density n_H=5 * 10^4 cm^-3. We find that the solution best fitting the H2 lines is degenerate: The shock velocities and number densities range between v_s = 17 - 47 km s^-1 and n_H=10^7 - 5 * 10^4 cm^-3, respectively. The H2 lines thus need a much more powerful shock than the CO lines. We deduce that most of the gas is currently moderately stirred up by slow (10 km s^-1) shocks while only a small fraction (< 1 percent) of the ISM is exposed to the high velocity shocks. This implies that the gas is rapidly loosing its highly turbulent motions. We argue that a high CO line-to-continuum ratio is a key diagnostic for the presence of shocks.

description: Excerpts from the report Preface: The purpose of this study was to suggest directions toward which U.S. cotton growers might move to remain viable in face of the threat posed by declining Government assistance, rising off-farm costs, and competition from synthetic fibers. The examination of organizational options open to producers was limited to those within the boundaries of present Government policies and legislation. Efforts were made to determine whether producers could link their operations more directly with those of domestic and foreign mills in ways that would be mutually advantageous and more efficient than present organizational arrangements. Consideration was given to how the industry could attain improved order and flow in cotton marketing processes and better price and supply stability. The primary source of information for this study was unstructured personal interviews with key people in each major segment of the cotton industry: producers, ginners, warehousemen, merchant-shippers, and mill buyers. These informal meetings were designed to explore and evaluate ideas and concepts of the various groups that might serve as an information base on which to render judgment.

description: The objective of this paper is to analyse the relationship between income inequality and environmental innovation. We use a complexity-based algorithm to compute an index of green inventive capacity in a panel of 57 countries over the period 1970–2010. The empirical analysis reveals that, on average, inequality is detrimental to countries’ capacity to engage complex green technologies knowledge bases. Using non-parametric methods allows us to further articulate this general finding and to uncover interesting non-linearities in the relationship between innovation and inequality.

Glass compositions with praseodymium molar concentrations up to 5% were obtained with good optical quality. Thermal, optical, and luminescence properties are investigated. Judd-Ofelt analysis is used to determine radiative lifetime and emission cross-section of the orange transition originating from the 3P0 level. We find that these glasses are good candidates for the realization of blue diode laser pumped orange lasers for quantum information processing applications.

description: Focusing events are sudden, striking large-scale occurrences that attract political attention. However, not all potential focusing events appear on the agenda. Combining data from multiple sources, this study conducts an analysis of the determinants of prioritisation of external focusing events in the European Council over a period longer than two decades. The results demonstrate that decisions regarding the placement of crises on the agenda are underscored by exogenous (humanitarian) and endogenous (geopolitical interest) considerations. Those events with a higher likelihood of agenda access include manmade incidents (versus natural disasters), events with larger death tolls and crises in the neighbourhood. Stronger competition between potential focusing events across time and space reduces the chances of access. The level of attention each event receives depends on purely strategic interests. Focusing events in neighbouring countries gain a higher portion of attention, as do occurrences in states having a larger trade exchange with the European Union. © 2015 Cambridge University Press.

description: We present the current results from the development of a wide integral field infrared spectrograph (WIFIS). WIFIS offers an unprecedented combination of etendue and spectral resolving power for seeing-limited, integral field observations in the 0.9-1.8 um range and is most sensitive in the 0.9-1.35 um range. Its optical design consists of front-end re-imaging optics, an all-reflective image slicer-type, integral field unit (IFU) called FISICA, and a long-slit grating spectrograph back-end that is coupled with a HAWAII 2RG focal plane array. The full wavelength range is achieved by selecting between two different gratings. By virtue of its re-imaging optics, the spectrograph is quite versatile and can be used at multiple telescopes. The size of its field-of-view is unrivalled by other similar spectrographs, offering a 4.5" x 12" integral field at a 10-meter class telescope (or 20" x 50" at a 2.3-meter telescope). The use of WIFIS will be crucial in astronomical problems which require wide-field, two-dimensional spectroscopy such as the study of merging galaxies at moderate redshift and nearby star/planet-forming regions and supernova remnants. We discuss the final optical design of WIFIS, and its predicted on-sky performance on two reference telescope platforms: the 2.3-m Steward Bok telescope and the 10.4-m Gran Telescopio Canarias. We also present the results from our laboratory characterization of FISICA. IFU properties such as magnification, field-mapping, and slit width along the entire slit length were measured by our tests. The construction and testing of WIFIS is expected to be completed by early 2013. We plan to commission the instrument at the 2.3-m Steward Bok telescope at Kitt Peak, USA in Spring 2013.

description: Excerpts from the report: Cooling cottonseed as it comes from the gin, often at temperatures of 90 to 100 F, and maintaining the stored mass under conditions that will prevent hot spots and moisture buildup are necessary to avoid quality loss. High temperatures encourage mold growth, contribute to poor oil quality by increasing free fatty acid content, and decrease the viability of seed to be used for planting. The most economical means available for maintaining cottonseed at safe temperatures in storage is aeration by an efficient fan and duct system. The information in this report applies specifically to design, equipment selection, and installation for aeration systems in commercial cottonseed storage. The information should be useful to design engineers, equipment suppliers, storage operators, and others who may be involved in designing, selecting, and installing equipment. Storage operators who may want to make their own improvements will find the data on operating procedures of value whether they already have aeration systems or plan to install them.

description: The study of regularity and complete intersection of a tensor product of commutative algebras possessing the same property started with Grothendieck in 1965 and has continued until today. Surprisingly, the homology theory of Andre and Quillen, developed by these authors in 1967, has never been used for this study. With the help of this theory, we can (slightly) generalize the results known up to now. But more important, we hope to convince the reader that this homology theory is the adequate tool to handle these problems: the proofs are very short and (assuming some flatness hypothesis) it allows to see clearly what extra hypotheses we need.

This work, the first demonstration of lasing action from GaN microdisk cavities with QDs in the active layer, provides a critical step for the nitrides in realizing low threshold photonic devices with efficient coupling between QDs and an optical cavity.
title: Challenging the similarity rule of visual crowding: When detrimental clutter becomes beneficial uniformity
Creators: name: Rummens, Koen
Publisher: name: Universität Bern
Year: 2023
Subjects: subject: 150 Psychology

description: In real life, objects are seldomly encountered in isolation but are more often than not surrounded by other items. Context has been shown to strongly modulate whether and how objects are perceived. In visual crowding, nearby items (‘flankers’) prevent the accurate perception of a target object. One of the central crowding rules concerns its dependence on target-flanker similarity, with usually weak crowding when target and flankers differ on a given feature. For instance, the similarity rule predicts the ‘polarity advantage’: the superior identification of a crowded target when flanked by opposite rather than same contrast polarity items. The usual benefit of low target-flanker similarity is well explained by grouping: when the target is easily segmented from its flankers, such weak target-flanker grouping typically yields mild crowding. Here, in three studies, I demonstrate strong limitations to the generality of the similarity rule. In the first study, it was revealed that the usual benefit of low target-flanker similarity did not transfer to peripheral word recognition. In particular, word recognition deteriorated when word parts – either syllables or non-syllables - alternated in contrast polarity compared to words consisting of all same contrast polarity parts. In the second study, the similarity rule –typically shown with regard to a single crowded target – was reversed when multiple crowded targets were task-relevant. When neighboring trigram letters had the same versus opposite contrast polarity, performance was worse when reporting the central letter only but surprisingly superior when reporting all letters. In the third study, I show that interactions between two features - contrast polarity and orientation – can break the similarity rule of crowding. When discriminating the central line tilt within a line triplet, the usual advantage of opposite compared to same contrast polarity flankers (relative to the target) depended on flanker orientations. The polarity advantage was found with upright (||) and bidirectional (\/ or /\) flankers, but was absent with unidirectional flankers (\\ or //). Taken together, the current findings strongly challenge the generality of the similarity rule. I propose that attentional and configural factors can overcome the usual cost of strong grouping of target and flankers, revealing benefits of stimulus uniformity instead.

description: Proton captures on Mg isotopes play an important role in the Mg-Al cycle active in stellar H-burning regions. In particular, low-energy nuclear resonances in the $^{25}$Mg(p,$γ$)$^{26}$Al reaction affect the production of radioactive $^{26}$Al$^{gs}$ as well as the resulting Mg/Al abundance ratio. Reliable estimations of these quantities require precise measurements of the strengths of low-energy resonances. Based on a new experimental study performed at LUNA, we provide revised rates of the $^{25}$Mg(p,$γ$)$^{26}$Al$^{gs}$ and the $^{25}$Mg(p,$γ$)$^{26}$Al$^{m}$ reactions with corresponding uncertainties. In the temperature range 50 to 150 MK, the new recommended rate of the $^{26}$Al$^{m}$ production is up to 5 times higher than previously assumed. In addition, at T$=100$ MK, the revised total reaction rate is a factor of 2 higher. Note that this is the range of temperature at which the Mg-Al cycle operates in an H-burning zone. The effects of this revision are discussed. Due to the significantly larger $^{25}$Mg(p,$γ$)$^{26}$Al$^{m}$ rate, the estimated production of $^{26}$Al$^{gs}$ in H-burning regions is less efficient than previously obtained. As a result, the new rates should imply a smaller contribution from Wolf-Rayet stars to the galactic $^{26}$Al budget. Similarly, we show that the AGB extra-mixing scenario does not appear able to explain the most extreme values of $^{26}$Al/$^{27}$Al, i.e. $>10^{-2}$, found in some O-rich presolar grains. Finally, the substantial increase of the total reaction rate makes the hypothesis of a self-pollution by massive AGBs a more robust explanation for the Mg-Al anticorrelation observed in Globular-Cluster stars.

description: We introduce a general, efficient method to completely describe the topology of individual grains, bubbles, and cells in three-dimensional polycrystals, foams, and other multicellular microstructures. This approach is applied to a pair of three-dimensional microstructures that are often regarded as close analogues in the literature: one resulting from normal grain growth (mean curvature flow) and another resulting from a random Poisson-Voronoi tessellation of space. Grain growth strongly favors particular grain topologies, compared with the Poisson-Voronoi model. Moreover, the frequencies of highly symmetric grains are orders of magnitude higher in the the grain growth microstructure than they are in the Poisson-Voronoi one. Grain topology statistics provide a strong, robust differentiator of different cellular microstructures and provide hints to the processes that drive different classes of microstructure evolution.

description: The study examined Effect of reward management on employee's job satisfaction in Euro global foods and distilleries limited. The problem of this study asserted that poor performances, low staff morale and high employee turnover are due to the extremely poor reward management system in the organisation. The objectives of the study were to establish the level in which extrinsic and intrinsic rewards has affected the job satisfaction of employee's in Euro Global Foods And Distilleries Limited. The population of the study was 156 workers in Euro Global Foods And Distilleries Limited and complete enumeration was used to get the sample size for the study, The study adopted a survey research design, which process has to do with sending out copies of questionnaires to the respondent which is then statistically analysed to draw meaningful research conclusions. The study used primary source data which was the questionnaire and the questionnaire response rate was 80%. The correlation and regression analysis were used to find relationships and to analysis the hypothesis. The findings revealed, extrinsic rewards indices possess significant and effective effect on job satisfaction of employees. The study found out that employees are the most important part of service industries, and it is very important for managers to make sure they are happy. It is recommended that top management should pay attention to the intrinsic reward practice of the organisation, since it affects the employee's job satisfaction. It also recommended that extrinsic reward (as indicated in this study) should be administered efficiently.

description: Fundamentally, action potentials in the squid axon are consequence of the entrance of sodium ions during the depolarization of the rising phase of the spike mediated by the outflow of potassium ions during the hyperpolarization of the falling phase. Perfect metabolic efficiency with a minimum charge needed for the change in voltage during the action potential would confine sodium entry to the rising phase and potassium efflux to the falling phase. However, because sodium channels remain open to a significant extent during the falling phase, a certain overlap of inward and outward currents is observed. In this work we investigate the impact of ion overlap on the number of the adenosine triphosphate (ATP) molecules and energy cost required per action potential as a function of the temperature in a Hodgkin-Huxley model. Based on a recent approach to computing the energy cost of neuronal AP generation not based on ion counting, we show that increased firing frequencies induced by higher temperatures imply more efficient use of sodium entry, and then a decrease in the metabolic energy cost required to restore the concentration gradients after an action potential. Also, we determine values of sodium conductance at which the hydrolysis efficiency presents a clear minimum.

description: Systems with long-range interactions (LRI) display unusual thermodynamical and dynamical properties that stem from the non-additive character of the interaction potential. We focus in this work on the lack of relaxation to thermal equilibrium when a LRI system is started out-of-equilibrium. Several attempts have been made at predicting the so-called quasi-stationary state (QSS) reached by the dynamics and at characterizing the resulting transition between magnetized and non-magnetized states. We review in this work recent theories and interpretations about the QSS. Several theories exist but none of them has provided yet a full account of the dynamics found in numerical simulations.

The Experience of Relationship Dissolution During Counselling Psychology Training – a Thematic Analysis
Creators: name: Basra, Richa
Publisher: name: University of East London
Year: 2019

description: Most studies addressing the experiences of trainees in the field of counselling psychology have focused on the different components and stresses of the profession; the literature has rarely explored trainees’ intimate partner relationships. This study, however, looks at the experience of a relationship dissolution during counselling psychology training. Drawing on transformative learning theory and models of relationship dissolution, the following research questions are explored: (1) How do trainees experience a relationship dissolution during counselling psychology training? And (2) how does training influence the relationship dissolution? Semi-structured interviews were conducted with ten participants in British Psychological Society (BPS) accredited counselling psychology courses from across the United Kingdom. Thematic Analysis (TA) using a dual inductive-deductive approach was applied to capture both the theoretical framework and the subjective experiences of the participants. Four themes and six subthemes developed; “I can feel the change day by day”, “the course indirectly influenced the break-up”, “the blurring of personal and professional boundaries”, and lastly, “the paradox of endings”. The findings are discussed in terms of their theoretical and clinical implications: firstly, adding possible new insights into the model of breakdown, and secondly, providing suggestions on how to support trainees and prospective trainees to the BPS, the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC), and those involved in the training process.
CMB Anisotropy Due to Filamentary Gas: Power Spectrum and Cosmological Parameter Bias

description: Hot gas in filamentary structures induces CMB aniostropy through the SZ effect. Guided by results from N-body simulations, we model the morphology and gas properties of filamentary gas and determine the power spectrum of the anisotropy. Our treatment suggests that power levels can be an appreciable fraction of the cluster contribution at multipoles $\ell\lesssim 1500$. Its spatially irregular morphology and larger characteristic angular scales can help to distinguish this SZ signature from that of clusters. In addition to intrinsic interest in this most extended SZ signal as a probe of filaments, its impact on cosmological parameter estimation should also be assessed. We find that filament `noise' can potentially bias determination of $A_s$, $n_s$, and $w$ (the normalization of the primordial power spectrum, the scalar index, and the dark energy equation of state parameter, respectively) by more than the nominal statistical uncertainty in Planck SZ survey data. More generally, when inferred from future optimal cosmic-variance-limited CMB experiments, we find that virtually all parameters will be biased by more than the nominal statistical uncertainty estimated for these next generation CMB experiments.

Year: 2012
Subjects: subject: Optimization and Control (math.OC)

description: Nature-inspired algorithms are among the most powerful algorithms for optimization. In this study, a new nature-inspired metaheuristic optimization algorithm, called bat algorithm (BA), is introduced for solving engineering optimization tasks. The proposed BA is based on the echolocation behavior of bats. After a detailed formulation and explanation of its implementation, BA is verified using eight nonlinear engineering optimization problems reported in the specialized literature. BA has been carefully implemented and carried out optimization for eight well-known optimization tasks. Then, a comparison has been made between the proposed algorithm and other existing algorithms. The optimal solutions obtained by the proposed algorithm are better than the best solutions obtained by the existing methods. The unique search features used in BA are analyzed, and their implications for future research are also discussed in detail.

description: Large biological datasets are being produced at a rapid pace and create substantial storage challenges, particularly in the domain of high-throughput sequencing (HTS). Most approaches currently used to store HTS data are either unable to quickly adapt to the requirements of new sequencing or analysis methods (because they do not support schema evolution), or fail to provide state of the art compression of the datasets. We have devised new approaches to store HTS data that support seamless data schema evolution and compress datasets substantially better than existing approaches. Building on these new approaches, we discuss and demonstrate how a multi-tier data organization can dramatically reduce the storage, computational and network burden of collecting, analyzing, and archiving large sequencing datasets. For instance, we show that spliced RNA-Seq alignments can be stored in less than 4% the size of a BAM file with perfect data fidelity. Compared to the previous compression state of the art, these methods reduce dataset size more than 20% when storing gene expression and epigenetic datasets. The approaches have been integrated in a comprehensive suite of software tools (http://goby.campagnelab.org) that support common analyses for a range of high-throughput sequencing assays.

Pyroelectric origin of the carrier density modulation at graphene-ferroelectric interface

description: Using continuous approximation we study the static and high-frequency heat dissipation in multi-layer graphene on a ferroelectric. We demonstrate that the Joule heating effect, caused by a high-frequency ac electric current in graphene, creates a pronounced temperature gradient in a ferroelectric substrate. The pyroelectric effect transforms the gradient into the spontaneous polarization gradient.. Therefore, the high-frequency depolarizing electric field occurs and penetrates in the multi-layer graphene. Free charges in graphene immediately screen the electric field and thus their density oscillates at high-frequency. Performed calculations had proved that the pyroelectric effect can modify essentially the free carrier density at the graphene-ferroelectric interface and consequently the conductivity of multi-layer graphene channel. So, pyroelectric mechanism can be critical for understanding of the complex physical thermal and electrical processes taking place across and along graphene-ferroelectric interfaces at terahertz frequencies.

description: We present GobyWeb, a web-based system to facilitate the management and analysis of high-throughput sequencing (HTS) projects. The software provides integrated support for a broad set of HTS analyses and offers a simple plugin extension mechanism. Analyses currently supported include quantification of gene expression for messenger and small RNA sequencing, estimation of DNA methylation (i.e., reduced bisulfite sequencing and whole genome methyl-seq), or the detection of pathogens in sequenced data. In contrast to many analysis pipelines developed for analysis of HTS data, GobyWeb requires significantly less storage space, runs analyses efficiently on a parallel grid, scales gracefully to process tens or hundreds of multi-gigabyte samples, yet can be used effectively by researchers who are comfortable using a web browser. GobyWeb can be obtained at http://gobyweb.campagnelab.org and is freely available for non-commercial use.
