description: To obtain deeper understanding of QCD properties at finite temperature, we consider the Fourier decomposition of the grand-canonical partition function based on the canonical ensemble method via the imaginary chemical potential. Expectation values are, then, represented by summation over each canonical sector. We point out that the modified Polyakov-loop can play an important role in the canonical ensemble; for example, the Polyakov-loop paradox which is known in the canonical ensemble method can be evaded by considering the quantity. In addition, based on the periodicity issue of the modified Polyakov-loop at finite imaginary chemical potential, we can construct the systematic way to compute the dual quark condensate which has strong unclearness in its foundation in the presence of dynamical quarks so far.

description: The collective evolution of produced matter in heavy-ion collisions is effectively described by hydrodynamics from time scales greater than the inverse of the temperature, $τ\gtrsim 1/T$. In the context of the Gubser solution, I show that the hydrodynamization condition $τ\, T \gtrsim 1$ is translated into an allowed domain in the spatial system size and the final multiplicity for hydrodynamics applicability. It turns out that the flow measurements in pp collisions are inside the domain of validity. I predict that by approaching the boundaries of the allowed domain the hydrodynamic response to the initial ellipticity changes its sign. I follow a rather model-independent approach for the initial state where, instead of modeling the initial energy density of individual events, the initial system size and ellipticity event-by-event fluctuation are modeled. The model, initial state fluctuation+Gubser solution+Cooper-Frye freeze-out, describes the multiplicity and transverse momentum dependence of two-point and four-point correlation functions ($c_2\{2\}$ and $c_2\{4\}$) in an accurate agreement with pp collision experimental measurements. In particular, the sign of the four-point correlation function is the same as the observation, which failed to be described correctly in previous studies. I also predict a signal for the sign change in the hydrodynamic response that can be inspected in future experimental measurements of two-point and four-point correlation functions at lower multiplicities.

Three applications of scaling to inhomogeneous, anisotropic turbulence

Subjects: subject: Chaotic Dynamics (nlin.CD)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The energy spectrum in three examples of inhomogeneous, anisotropic turbulence, namely, purely mechanical wall turbulence, the Bolgiano-Obukhov cascade and helical turbulence, is analyzed. As one could expect, simple dimensional reasoning leads to incorrect results and must be supplemented by informations on the dynamics. In the case of wall turbulence, an hypothesis of Kolmogorov cascade, starting locally from the gradients in the mean flow, produces an energy spectrum which obeys the standard $k^{-{5\over 3}}$ law only for $kx_3>1$, with $x_3$ the distance from the wall, and an inverse power law for $kx_3<1$. An analysis of the energy budget for turbulence in stratified flows, shows the unrealizability of an asymptotic Bolgiano scaling. Simulation with a GOY model, leads instead to a $k^{-α}$ spectrum for both temperature and velocity, with $α\simeq 2$, and a cross-correlation between the two vanishing at large scales. In the case of not reflection invariant turbulence, closure analysis suggests that a purely helical cascade, associated with a $k^{-{7\over 3}}$ energy spectrum cannot take place, unless external forcing terms are present at all scales in the Navier-Stokes equation.

Hydrostatic Equilibrium of a Perfect Fluid Sphere with Exterior Higher-Dimensional Schwarzschild Spacetime

Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)

description: We discuss the question of how the number of dimensions of space and time can influence the equilibrium configurations of stars. We find that dimensionality does increase the effect of mass but not the contribution of the pressure, which is the same in any dimension. In the presence of a (positive) cosmological constant the condition of hydrostatic equilibrium imposes a lower limit on mass and matter density. We show how this limit depends on the number of dimensions and suggest that $Λ> 0$ is more effective in 4D than in higher dimensions. We obtain a general limit for the degree of compactification (gravitational potential on the boundary) of perfect fluid stars in $D$-dimensions. We argue that the effects of gravity are stronger in 4D than in any other number of dimensions. The generality of the results is also discussed.

description: Effective theory arguments are used to derive the most general energy-momentum tensor of a relativistic viscous fluid with an arbitrary equation of state (in the absence of other conserved currents) that is first-order in the derivatives of the energy density and flow velocity and does not include extended variables such as in Mueller-Israel-Stewart-like theories. This energy-momentum tensor leads to a causal theory, provided one abandons the usual conventions for the out-of-equilibrium hydrodynamic variables put forward by Landau-Lifshitz and Eckart. In particular, causality requires nonzero out-of-equilibrium energy density corrections and heat flow. Conditions are found to ensure linear stability around equilibrium in flat space-time. We also prove local existence and uniqueness of solutions to the equations of motion. Our causality, existence, and uniqueness results hold in the full nonlinear regime, without symmetry assumptions, in four space-time dimensions, with or without coupling to Einstein's equations, and are mathematically rigorously established. Furthermore, a kinetic theory realization of this energy-momentum tensor is also provided.

As an application, we study the preheating phase after inflation for the above potential with K=0 and arbitrary $λ,μ>0$. For certain values of the coupling constant between the inflaton and the matter fields, we calculate the instability intervals and the characteristic exponents in closed form.

Ecological risk assessment for a mine pit lake, Nevada, USA

description: Closure of an open pit gold mine in central Nevada, USA, will result in cessation of dewatering at the mine and formation of a pit lake. The future pit lake will occur in a desert shrub community and have no surface water inflows or outflows. An ecological risk assessment far the pit lake was conducted as part of an environmental impact statement required for expansion of mine facilities. Because the pit lake does not yet exist, ecological risks were estimated from the results of predictive water quality models and measurement of chemical concentrations in the rock wall of the pit. The exposure of birds and mammals to individual metals through food and water ingestion was estimated on the basis of concentrations of metals in water and bioconcentration factors and through sediment ingestion was estimated from concentrations of metals in wall rock. Exposure estimates, which were expressed as daily rates of intake of individual metals, were compared to no-effects and lowest-effects doses reported in the literature for those metals. Results of the risk assessment demonstrated minimal risks to dabbling ducks from exposure to zinc and no risk to other wildlife from chemical exposures.

description: We describe our recent calculation of two-loop corrections to the expansion rate of an initially inflating universe on the manifold $T^3 \times \Re$. If correct, our result proves that quantum gravitational effects slow the rate of inflation by an amount which becomes non-perturbatively large at late times. In a preliminary discussion of basic issues we show that the expansion rate is a gauge invariant, and that our ultraviolet regulator does not introduce spurious time dependence. We also derive a sharp bound on the maximum strength of higher loop effects.

description: We study the largest Lyapunov exponent $λ$ and the finite size effects of a system of N fully-coupled classical particles, which shows a second order phase transition. Slightly below the critical energy density $U_c$, $λ$ shows a peak which persists for very large N-values (N=20000). We show, both numerically and analytically, that chaoticity is strongly related to kinetic energy fluctuations. In the limit of small energy, $λ$ goes to zero with a N-independent power law: $λ\sim \sqrt{U}$. In the continuum limit the system is integrable in the whole high temperature phase. More precisely, the behavior $λ\sim N^{-1/3}$ is found numerically for $U > U_c$ and justified on the basis of a random matrix approximation.

Quality ratings showed: healthcare received was closest to very good (mean= 4.68; min=1, max=6, SD=1.205); care received from primary care provider was between very good and excellent (mean=4.54; min=1, max=6, SD=1.174); providers’ sensitivity/cultural competence for sexual orientation was closest to very good (mean=4.70; min=1, max=6, SD=1.182); providers’ sensitivity/cultural competence for race was between good to very good (mean=4.57; min=1, max=6, SD=1.178); and providers’ openness to hearing about/accepting sexual orientation was closest to very open (mean=3.77; min=1, max=5, SD=0.937). The majority (71.2% (n=84) experienced discrimination in the healthcare system—for being Black (64.4%, n=76), a woman (48.4%, n=57), overweight/obese (31.4%, n=54), or appearance (29.7%, n=35).Findings for performing 9 behaviors for healthy aging showed: 1-stages of change mean=4.283 (min=1.44, max=5, SD=0.663) was closest to action stage; 2-self-efficacy mean=5.171 (min=3, max=6, SD=0.703) was 80% confident; 3-knowledge mean = 5.811 (min=3.22, max=7, SD=0.916) was closest to a high level of knowledge; and, 4-motivation mean=5.57 (min=3.44, max=7, SD=0.935) was between moderate and high. They had moderately high: satisfaction with life (SWLS-3 mean=5.223, min=1.33, max=7, SD=1.272); overall life satisfaction (LSS-1, mean=7.50, min=2, max=10, SD=1.834); and harmony in life (mean=5.407; min=2, max=7, SD=1.184). Backwards stepwise regression, controlling for social desirability, indicated higher Satisfaction with Life (SWLS-3) was significantly predicted by: Higher harmony in life (B=0.714, p=0.000); Higher annual household income (B=0.155, p=0.004); Higher provider sensitivity/cultural competence to their patient being Black (B=0.208, p=0.002)—with 62.4% of variance explained (R2=0.615, adjusted R2=0.624; F=25.483, p=.000) by the model.

Efficient estimation of Pauli channels

Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Pauli channels are ubiquitous in quantum information, both as a dominant noise source in many computing architectures and as a practical model for analyzing error correction and fault tolerance. Here we prove several results on efficiently learning Pauli channels, and more generally the Pauli projection of a quantum channel. We first derive a procedure for learning a Pauli channel on $n$ qubits with high probability to a relative precision $ε$ using $O\bigl(ε^{-2} n 2^n\bigr)$ measurements, which is efficient in the Hilbert space dimension. The estimate is robust to state preparation and measurement errors which, together with the relative precision, makes it especially appropriate for applications involving characterization of high-accuracy quantum gates. Next we show that the error rates for an arbitrary set of $s$ Pauli errors can be estimated to a relative precision $ε$ using $O\bigl(ε^{-4} \log s\log s/ε\bigr)$ measurements. Finally, we show that when the Pauli channel is given by a Markov field with at most $k$-local correlations, we can learn an entire $n$-qubit Pauli channel to relative precision $ε$ with only $O_k\bigl(ε^{-2} n^2 \log n \bigr)$ measurements, which is efficient in the number of qubits. These results enable a host of applications beyond just characterizing noise in a large-scale quantum system: they pave the way to tailoring quantum codes, optimizing decoders, and customizing fault tolerance procedures to suit a particular device.

Investigation of Plastic Strain Recovery and Creep in Thin Film Nanocrystalline Metals

Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Mechanical engineering
subject: FOS: Mechanical engineering

description: In this study an automatically controlled plane-strain bulge test system is used to characterized
      the mechanical behavior of nanocrystalline thin film samples. The free-standing
      thin film of copper with average grain size of 35nm is fabricated with thermal evaporation or
      sputtering. The tests are performed to measure Young's modulus, determine the strain rate
      for creep and monitor plastic strain recovery at room temperature and at 100°C Based on
      the experimental strain rate during the creep, The value for diffusion coefficient of copper is
      obtained. This value is in agreement with the diffusion coefficient resulted from numerical
      simulation for nanocrystalline copper film in another work and is about 4 orders of magnitude
      more than the value for conventional coarse grain one. By monitoring the plastic
      strain recovery, it is observed that it occurs in two rates, a fast temporary one follow by a
      slower rate. This phenomena can be explained due to grain boundary based deformation
      mechanisms for this grain size.
      We also develop a continuum model to prescribe grain boundary diffusion as the dominant
      deformation mechanism for nanocrystalline thin film with a preexisting void. The
      model is implemented using FEA software Abaqus. The numerical result indicates that plastic
      strain recovery occurs and it has two rates. A parametric study on different factors which
      can affect the recovery is performed and the strain recovery rates obtained from each parameter
      are compared with the experimental one.
Cleaning up metal and hydrocarbon contaminated soils using the ChemTech soil treatment process
Creators: name: Stephenson, Robert John
name: Yan, Vita
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The ChemTech soil treatment system differs substantially from the present commercial approaches to soil remediation. Rather than the "no-tech" approach of land filling or the apparent "bio-tech" route of bioremediation, the ChemTech process configures chemical engineering and mineral processing unit operations to deliver a comprehensive, rapid, flexible and economic treatment to a range of contaminated soils. The soil treatment process is a portable treatment system which effectively removes both metals and petroleum hydrocarbons from soils or sediments. Its chemical and power cost is in the order of $20 to 25 per tonne, pricing remediation below the cost of landfilling in many jurisdictions. The treatment does not generate important quantities of solid wastes, contaminated liquid effluent, or air emissions. A mobile pilot plant is trailer mounted for on-site demonstration, requiring only a supply of fresh water, compressed air, and electrical power. The patent pending process uses the turbulent mixing of a continuously fed three phase fluidized bed with soil contaminant chemistry to separate the feed soil into coarse (clean) and fine (contaminated) fractions. Extremely high air flow velocities in the turbulent zone of the continuously fed fluidized bed provides for slurrying, wetting, and scouring of the soil particle surface to result in removal of the adhered contaminants. The continuously fed fluidized bed effectively encapsulates a number of the concepts of tar sands extraction in a single unit and does so in an physically intense but mechanically simple manner. The result is a flexible, high capacity system with attractive operating and capital costs, well suited to environmental cleanup of a range of soil and sediment types. The process has been verified at bench and pilot scales using a number of industrially contaminated soils to segregate metal and petroleum hydrocarbon contaminants from soil or sediments. The results obtained indicate that decontamination of soils can be achieved in a rapid (nominally 5 minute residence time) and effective manner with a minimum of inputs. Identifying the operating conditions would be performed at a bench scale for each soil prior to on-site demonstration and commercial scale remediation.

description: The graviton tadpole has recently been computed at two loops in a locally de Sitter background. We apply intermediate results of this work to exhibit the graviton self-energy at one loop. This quantity is interesting both to check the accuracy of the first calculation and to understand the relaxation effect it reveals. In the former context we show that the self-energy obeys the appropriate Ward identity. We also show that its flat space limit agrees with the flat space result obtained by Capper in what should be the same gauge.

Participants were paired in an online environment to play a drawing-based reference game. On each trial, both participants were shown the same four objects, but in different locations. The sketcher's goal was to draw one of these objects so that the viewer could select it from the array. On `close' trials, objects belonged to the same basic-level category, whereas on `far' trials objects belonged to different categories. We found that people exploited shared information to efficiently communicate about the target object: on far trials, sketchers achieved high recognition accuracy while applying fewer strokes, using less ink, and spending less time on their drawings than on close trials. We hypothesized that humans succeed in this task by recruiting two core faculties: visual abstraction, the ability to perceive the correspondence between an object and a drawing of it; and pragmatic inference, the ability to judge what information would help a viewer distinguish the target from distractors. To evaluate this hypothesis, we developed a computational model of the sketcher that embodied both faculties, instantiated as a deep convolutional neural network nested within a probabilistic program. We found that this model fit human data well and outperformed lesioned variants. Together, this work provides the first algorithmically explicit theory of how visual perception and social cognition jointly support contextual flexibility in visual communication.

description: The goal of this dissertation is not only to present works completed and projects initiated and accomplished, but to also attempt to teach some of the material to readers who have limited exposure to condensed matter. I will offer an introduction to two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenide materials (2D TMDCs) and the mathematics required to understand the research conducted. Some effort will be given on explaining the experimental setups and preparations. Projects that required elaborate sample fabrication and the yielded results will be summarized. These results have heavy implications for the science behind bound electron-hole pairs, the effects of magnetic fields on such pairs, and extracting the useful optical properties from the material systems in which these pairs reside. Specialized fabrication techniques of samples for longer term projects that I led will also be presented, namely those of constructing heterostructures by stacking various 2D TMDCs for exploring the modulated properties of these novel arrangements. The latter portion of this dissertation will cover the nanoscopic dynamics of TMDC heterostructures. The Kramers-Kronig relations will be derived and discussed in detail.
      Data and results regarding the electronic structure of these materials, their heterostructures, and their custom alloys measured via scanning tunneling microscopy will be presented. Coupled with the measured optical  properties, significant numerical quantities that characterize these materials are extracted. There will be several appendices that offer some supplementary information and basic summaries about all the projects that were initiated.

description: Runaway solutions can be avoided in fourth order gravity by a doubling of the matter operator algebra with a symmetry constraint with respect to the exchange of observable and hidden degrees of freedom together with the change in sign of the ghost and the dilaton fields. The theory is classically equivalent to Einstein gravity, while its non-unitary Newtonian limit is shown to lead to a sharp transition, around $10^{11}$ proton masses, from the wavelike properties of microscopic particles to the classical behavior of macroscopic bodies, as well as to a trans-Planckian regularization of collapse singularities. A unified reading of ordinary and black hole entropy emerges as entanglement entropy with hidden degrees of freedom. The emergent picture gives a substantial agreement with B-H entropy and Hawking temperature.

description: Clock synchronisation relies on time-frequency transfer procedures which involve quantum fields. We use the conformal symmetry of such fields to define as quantum operators the time and frequency exchanged in transfer procedures and to describe their transformation under transformations to inertial or accelerated frames. We show that the classical laws of relativity are changed when brought in the framework of quantum theory.

description: We discuss several aspects of D-brane moduli spaces and BPS spectra near orbifold points. We give a procedure to determine the decay products on a line of marginal stability, and we define the algebra of BPS states in terms of quivers. These issues are illustrated in detail in the case of type IIA theory on C^2/Z_N. We also show that many of these results can be extended to arbitrary points in the compactification moduli space using Pi-stability.

Investigations into a bHLH code for Caenorhabditis elegans somatic gonad regulatory cell fate and function

description: The Caenorhabditis elegans somatic gonad is patterned by the activity of regulatory cell types, which govern its morphology, serve as the germline niche, and pattern its connection to the outside. All regulatory cell types are specified by activity of the basic helix-loop-helix gene hlh-2/E/Daughterless, and differences in how functions are assigned between the regulatory cells in males and hermaphrodites lead directly to their sexually-dimorphic gonads. Here, I present evidence that a code of bHLH genes function together with hlh-2 to promote the specification and function of each regulatory cell type except for the hermaphrodite anchor cell, which is specified by HLH-2 activity alone. Each regulatory cell type expresses an overlapping but distinct set of bHLH genes, which we find are required for its specification and associated functions. Notably, ectopic expression of regulatory cell bHLH complements are sufficient to transform cells with anchor cell potential into the expected regulatory cell, albeit transiently, suggesting that they are master regulators of regulatory cell fate. As all nematode species pattern their gonads through cognate regulatory cells and bHLH genes are highly conserved, we hypothesized that a similar bHLH code might function in specifying the regulatory cells of other species. In some nematode species the anchor cell, which remains stationary in C. elegans, is able to migrate. In C. elegans, the bHLH gene hlh-12 is necessary for proper migration of hermaphrodite distal tip cells and male linker cell, the two migrating regulatory cell types; addition of hlh-12 to the C. elegans anchor cell causes it to become displaced in a manner dependent on the endogenous hermaphrodite distal tip cell and male linker cell machinery, suggesting that the anchor cell gains the ability to migrate with the addition of hlh-12. We thus hypothesized that ectopic expression of an hlh-12 ortholog in these species might have led them to evolve migrating anchor cells. However, phylogenetic analysis of the bHLH genes of several other species, including the ones with migratory anchor cells, suggests that hlh-12 may be novel to the Caenorhabditis genus and does not have orthologs in the species with migrating anchor cells, raising the possibility that either these species use another bHLH gene for migration or that their regulatory cells are specified in a bHLH-independent manner.

description: We consider quantum theoretical effects of the sudden change of the boundary conditions which mimics the occurrence of naked singularities. For a simple demonstration, we study a massless scalar field in $(1 + 1)$-dimensional Minkowski spacetime with finite spatial interval. We calculate the vacuum expectation value of the energy-momentum tensor and explicitly show that singular wave or {\em thunderbolt} appears along the Cauchy horizon. The thunderbolt possibly destroys the Cauchy horizon if its backreaction on the geometry is taken into account, leading to quantum restoration of the global hyperbolicity. The result of the present work may also apply to the situation that a closed string freely oscillating is traveling to a brane and changes itself to an open string pinned-down by the ends satisfying the Dirichlet boundary conditions on the brane.

description: The physical meaning and the geometrical interpretation of causality implementation in classical field theories are discussed. Local causality are kinematical constraints dynamically implemented via solutions of the field equations, but in a limit of zero-distance from the field sources part of these constraints carries a dynamical content that explains old problems of classical electrodynamics away with deep implications to the nature of physical interactions.

Decolonising language education policy: Beyond the imagination of francophones identities

description: Decolonising language education policy: Beyond the imagination of Francophone identities  Key words: Africa, francophone identities, language policy, multilingualism In March 2018, the Macron government launched its language policy "Une ambition pour la langue française et le plurilinguisme", to counter the hegemonic place of English in the world and to boost the standing of French language education. Continuing the French government’s history of promoting French language and culture worldwide, the current policy of the Macron government has as its focus the promotion of ’francophonie’ in African countries: « Il y a bien longtemps que la langue française n’est plus uniquement française. Elle est d’autant, voire davantage africaine que française » (Macron, 20172) This paper is drawn from a larger research project that explores the objectives of this policy, and how teachers of French in various African countries understand, engage with and implement this policy in practice. The focus of this paper are the findings from a policy analysis, including supporting government documents such as media releases and presidential speeches, and corresponding curriculum documents. Engaging the lens of Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), the findings revealed tensions between a conventionally imagined francophone world that continues to be conceptualised as mono-cultural, mono-lingual and mono-ideological; and multilayered perceptions of the place, intention and direction of French language education in a globalised world. This analysis brought to light the complex interplay of neo-colonial discourses of geography, hegemony and internationalisation which frame the document’s approach. It brought to view the ambivalent conditions which frame these language education policies, their engagement with the African speakers’ multilingual and multicultural identities and the teachers and learners from the margin to the ‘centre’. The authors contend that commitment to the ‘future of the francophonie’ and of ‘le plurilinguisme’ be supported by a more reflexive understanding of the interplay between crucial concepts which frame the policy’s approach to French language education (French nationalism, standard language and European French culture) and provide a stronger challenge to the neo-colonial and neoliberal assumptions which are central to its contention.
