description: We analyze the dynamics of two coupled identical populations of quadratic integrate-and-fire neurons, which represent the canonical model for class I neurons near the spiking threshold. The populations are heterogeneous; they include both inherently spiking and excitable neurons. The coupling within and between the populations is global via synapses that take into account the finite width of synaptic pulses. Using a recently developed reduction method based on the Lorentzian ansatz, we derive a closed system of equations for the neuron's firing rates and the mean membrane potentials in both populations. The reduced equations are exact in the infinite-size limit. The bifurcation analysis of the equations reveals a rich variety of non-symmetric patterns, including a splay state, antiphase periodic oscillations, chimera-like states, also chaotic oscillations as well as bistabilities between various states. The validity of the reduced equations is confirmed by direct numerical simulations of the finite-size networks.

description: In high energy heavy-ion collisions the magnetic field is very strong right after the nuclei penetrate each other and a non-equilibrium system of quarks and gluons builds up. Even though quarks might not be very abundant initially, their dynamics must necessarily be influenced by the Lorentz force. Employing the 3+1d partonic cascade BAMPS we show that the circular Larmor movement of the quarks leads to a strong positive anisotropic flow of quarks at very soft transverse momenta. We explore the regions where the effect is visible, and explicitly show how collisions damp the effect. As a possible application we look at photon production from the flowing non-equilibrium medium.

description: Bovine respiratory disease (BRD) is the most prevalent and costly illness in feedlot cattle. A limiting factor in efforts to reduce BRD is the poor accuracy of the usual diagnostic approach, pen rider detection of animals with depression, anorexia, respiratory changes, and temperature elevation (DART). The relationship between DART-identified individuals and those with definitive BRD only has an estimated specificity and sensitivity of 63% and 62%, respectively. Limited monitoring (e.g. 2x/d), human presence, and handling may contribute to DART’s poor accuracy. Continuous, automated monitoring of fever and anorexia is more effective than DART for BRD detection. Both fever and anorexia are part of the generalized sickness response, a collection of physiological and behavioral changes associated with inflammation. This response also includes a reduction in grooming behavior, but this behavior has not been studied in the context of BRD and may be another candidate for improved, automated detection. Our objective was to further characterize the BRD sickness response, especially those components that may be monitored automatically. We hypothesized that BRD-challenged cattle would have fever, anorexia, and less grooming in comparison to healthy controls, and that the magnitude of these changes would reflect the extent of gross lung lesions (%LUNG).

Electronic Properties, Screening and Efficient Carrier Transport in NaSbS2

description: NaSbS2 is a semiconductor that was recently shown to have remarkable efficacy as a solar absorber indicating efficient charge collection even in defected material. We report first principles calculations of properties that show (1) an indirect gap only slightly smaller than the direct gap, which may impede recombination of photoexcited carriers, (2) highly anisotropic electronic and optical properties reflecting a layered crystal structure, (3) a pushed up valence band maximum due to repulsion from the Sb 5s states and (4) cross-gap hybridization between the S p derived valence bands and the Sb 5p states. This latter feature leads to enhanced Born effective charges that can provide local screening and therefore defect tolerance. These features are discussed in relation to the performance of the compound as a semiconductor with efficient charge collection.

description: We predict a discriminatory interaction between a chiral molecule and an achiral molecule which is mediated by a chiral body. To achieve this, we generalize the van der Waals interaction potential between two ground-state molecules with electric, magnetic and chiral response to non-trivial environments. The force is evaluated using second-order perturbation theory with an effective Hamiltonian. Chiral media enhance or reduce the free interaction via many-body interactions, making it possible to measure the chiral contributions to the van der Waals force with current technology. The van der Waals interaction is discriminatory with respect to enantiomers of different handedness and could be used to separate enantiomers. We also suggest a specific geometric configuration where the electric contribution to the van der Waals interaction is zero, making the chiral component the dominant effect.

description: Bovine respiratory disease (BRD) is an important economic disease of cattle in modern production systems. Control of BRD in calves is especially important because calfhood infections lead to reduced weight gain and productivity. Accurate detection of animals affected with BRD remains a significant hurdle for control and treatment. Several clinical scoring systems for BRD diagnosis have been proposed. One scoring system proposed by researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison (WI system, McGuirk, 2008) uses 5 clinical signs, each partitioned into 4 levels of severity. A second system (BRD3 system, Love et al, 2014) was developed at the University of California, Davis, to create a system that required less qualitative categorization of clinical signs and reduced calf handling. The BRD3 system used 6 clinical signs each classified as normal or abnormal. The goal of this study was to estimate and compare the diagnostic accuracy of these 2 clinical scoring systems.

These peaks rise from a depth of almost 5000m to less than 40m and extend in a SW-NE direction 125 nm off Cabo de S. Vicente, SW coast of Portugal. Underwater surveys by divers on extreme environments such as these offshore seamounts are very unusual- given the importance of these oceanic features for understanding marine biodiversity patterns, a preliminary ichthyofauna assemblage survey was carried out.
A complete dichotomy for complex-valued Holant^c

description: Holant problems are a family of counting problems on graphs, parametrised by sets of complex-valued functions of Boolean inputs. Holant^c denotes a subfamily of those problems, where any function set considered must contain the two unary functions pinning inputs to values 0 or 1. The complexity classification of Holant problems usually takes the form of dichotomy theorems, showing that for any set of functions in the family, the problem is either #P-hard or it can be solved in polynomial time. Previous such results include a dichotomy for real-valued Holant^c and one for Holant^c with complex symmetric functions. Here, we derive a dichotomy theorem for Holant^c with complex-valued, not necessarily symmetric functions. The tractable cases are the complex-valued generalisations of the tractable cases of the real-valued Holant^c dichotomy. The proof uses results from quantum information theory, particularly about entanglement.

Rectifying the output of vibrational piezoelectric energy harvester using quantum dots
Creators: name: Li, Lijie
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics (cond-mat.mes-hall)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Piezoelectric energy harvester scavenges mechanical vibrations and generates electricity. Researchers have strived to optimize the electromechanical structures and to design necessary external power management circuits, aiming to deliver high power and rectified outputs ready for serving as batteries. Complex deformation of the mechanical structure results in charges with opposite polarities appearing on same surface, leading to current loss in the attached metal electrode. External power management circuits such as rectifiers comprise diodes that consume power and have undesirable forward bias. To address the above issues, we devise a novel integrated piezoelectric energy harvesting device that is structured by stacking a layer of quantum dots (QDs) and a layer of piezoelectric material. We find that the QD can rectify electrical charges generated from the piezoelectric material because of its adaptable conductance to the electrochemical potentials of both sides of the QDs layer, so that electrical current causing energy loss on the same surface of the piezoelectric material can be minimized. The QDs layer has the potential to replace external rectification circuits providing a much more compact and less power-consumption solution.

Optimal work extraction from quantum batteries based on the expected utility hypothesis

description: Work extraction in quantum finite systems is an important issue in quantum thermodynamics. The optimal work extracted is called ergotropy, and it is achieved by maximizing the average work extracted over all the unitary cycles. However, an agent that is non-neutral to risk is affected by fluctuations and should extract work by following the expected utility hypothesis. Thus, we investigate the optimal work extraction performed by a risk non-neutral agent by maximizing the average utility function over all the unitary cycles. We mainly focus on initial states that are incoherent with respect to the energy basis, achieving a probability distribution of work. In this case we show how the optimal work extraction will be performed with an incoherent unitary transformation, namely a permutation of the energy basis, which depends on the risk aversion of the agent. We give several examples, in particular also the work extraction from an ensemble of quantum batteries is examined. Furthermore, we also investigate how work extraction is affected by the presence of initial quantum coherence in the energy basis by considering a quasiprobability distribution of work.

Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.

description: A ring system consisting of two dense narrow rings has been discovered around Centaur Chariklo. The existence of these rings around a small object poses various questions, such as their origin, stability, and lifetime. In order to understand the nature of Chariklo's rings, we perform global $N$-body simulations of the self-gravitating collisional particle rings for the first time. We find that Chariklo should be denser than the ring material to avoid the rapid diffusion of the rings. If Chariklo is denser than the ring material, fine spiral structures called self-gravity wakes occur in the inner ring. These wakes accelerate the viscous spreading of the ring significantly and they typically occur on timescales of about $100\,\mathrm{years}$ for m-sized ring particles, which is considerably shorter than the timescales suggested in previous studies. The existence of these narrow rings implies smaller ring particles or the existence of shepherding satellites.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.The investigation showed that the Great Meteor Seamount is a littoral habitat which despite its isolation by a permanent circular current and being surrounded by soft deep-sea bottoms, harbours an astonishingly diverse interstitial meiofauna. Studies of the Loricifera resulted in the discovery of 14 new species on the plateau of the Great Meteor Seamount. Apart from two new taxa all known genera are represented in the material (Nanaloricus, Pliciloricus and Rugiloricus). The study revealed that: (1) loriciferans are not a rare meiobenthic group on the seamount. (2) species of the deep sea do not occur on the plateau and vice versa. (3) larval instars make up 97% of all specimens found, which may be related to a newly discovered paedogenetic life cycle.

description: Two tragedies by Euripides (Helen and The Trojan Women) and a comedy by Aristophanes (Lysistrata) were presented at the 55th Festival of Greek Theatre at Syracuse (10 May-6 July 2019) on the theme ‘women and war’. The productions of the three plays were not, however, equally successful from an artistic point of view. Davide Livermore, a director whose main field is opera, was able, with his staging of Helen, to create a spectacle both ground-breaking and courageous, by projecting Euripides’ original work into a visionary and fantastic cosmos where different literary genres (tragedy, comedy, melodrama, opera buffa), different temporal dimensions and sensory perceptions mingle and overlap. The staging of The Trojan Women by the French director Muriel Mayette-Holtz (too great a distance between scenography and original text) and that of Lysistrata by Tullio Solenghi (overstated didacticism) were not as artistically effective.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.These results resemble those found for other meiofauna taxa, e.g. Loricifera, identifying the Great Meteor Seamount as a littoral habitat with a highly diverse interstitial meiofauna. Fifteen samples were examined which yielded 17 species of Epsilonematidae and 15 species of Draconematidae. Most of these species are new to science. Three species belong to new genera, and five genera were recorded for the first time from the Atlantic and from a non-coastal habitat. The general results of this study support the meiofauna paradox, which refers to the distribution of so many genera of meiofauna taxa in completely divergent areas. The map presented here gives an overview of the species present on top of the Great Meteor Seamount and where their next congeners have been found. For example, Tenuidraconema fiersi Decramer, 1984 belonging to the Draconematidae, which shows a highly modified body, to date was known only from Papua New Guinea. A very similar (or the same?) species was found on the Great Meteor Seamount.

description: Quantum discord refers to an important aspect of quantum correlations for bipartite quantum systems. In our earlier works we have shown that corresponding to every graph (combinatorial) there are quantum states whose properties are reflected in the structure of the corresponding graph. Here, we attempt to develop a graph theoretic study of quantum discord that corresponds to a necessary and sufficient condition of zero quantum discord states which says that the blocks of density matrix corresponding to a zero quantum discord state are normal and commute with each other. These blocks have a one to one correspondence with some specific subgraphs of the graph which represents the quantum state. We obtain a number of graph theoretic properties representing normality and commutativity of a set of matrices which are indeed arising from the given graph. Utilizing these properties we define graph theoretic measures for normality and commutativity that results a formulation of graph theoretic quantum discord. We identify classes of quantum states with zero discord using the said formulation.

description: Veterinarians and nutritionists should discuss diet formulation, feeding management, and health issues regarding transition cows with one another to help dairy herd managers achieve their goals. By working together and providing different perspectives and experiences, they can help identify areas of opportunity or provide solutions to problems in the transition program. Some areas of transition nutrition to focus on, based on recent research, include intake of fermentable carbohydrates, physically effective fiber, and energy and supply of metabolizable protein and limiting amino acids. Too frequently, transition nutrition failures result from poor delivery of the formulated diet(s) or non-nutritional stressors such as overcrowding, inappropriate moving or grouping of cows, or environmental stress. Veterinarians and nutritionists working together should be able to help motivate farmers to make management changes to achieve transition goals.

description: In this work we study slow-roll inflation for a vector-tensor model with massive vector fields non-minimally coupled to gravity. The model under consideration has arbitrary parameters for each geometrical coupling. Taking into account a spatially flat FRW type universe and a general vector fields (with temporal and spatial components), we get the general expressions for equation of motion and the total energy momentum tensor. In this scenario, the isotropy of expansion is guaranteed considering a triplet of orthogonal vector fields, but the effective mass of the vector field is of the order of the Hubble scale and the inflationary regime is difficult to realize with this model. However, for suitable values (or constraints) of model parameters, it is possible to overcome this issue. In this sense, two cases were analyzed. In the first case, a regime with slow-roll inflation was obtained, and for the second case the vector field behaves as a constant, and it drives a quasi de Sitter expansion, hence that slow-roll takes place and inflation occurs.

description: We investigate the quantum dynamics of two interacting bosonic atoms confined in a one-dimensional anharmonic trap. The tunneling rate, an experimentally measurable parameter of the system, was calculated as a function of the effective coupling interatomic constant $g$ from the ground (n=N=0) and first excited atomic states in the trap with respect to relative (n=2,N=0) and center-of-mass (n=0,N=2) atomic motion. This allows to investigate the initial population and pair correlation, as well as the effective coupling constant $g$, of the system by comparing the calculated tunneling rate with the experimental one. We have observed that the only possible tunneling scenario is a sequential particle tunneling in the cases we considered. We have also analyzed a rearrangement $(0,2)\rightleftarrows(2,0)$ of the spectrum in the limit $g\rightarrow \pm 0$ of noninteracting atoms.

description: X-ray spectra of accreting pulsars are generally observed to vary with their X-ray luminosity. In particular, the hardness of the X-ray continuum is found to depend on luminosity. In a few sources, the correlation between the energy of the cyclotron resonance scattering feature (CRSF) and the luminosity is clear. Different types (signs) of the correlation are believed to reflect different accretion modes. We analyse two NuSTAR observations of the transient accreting pulsar Cep X-4 during its 2014 outburst. Our analysis is focused on a detailed investigation of the dependence of the CRSF energy and of the spectral hardness on X-ray luminosity, especially on short timescales. To investigate the spectral changes as a function of luminosity within each of the two observations, we used the intrinsic variability of the source on the timescale of individual pulse cycles (tens of seconds), the so-called pulse-to-pulse variability. We find that the NuSTAR spectrum of Cep X-4 contains two CRSFs: the fundamental line at ~30 keV and its harmonic at ~55 keV. We find for the first time that the energy of the fundamental CRSF increases and the continuum becomes harder with increasing X-ray luminosity not only between the two observations, that is, on the long timescale, but also within an individual observation, on the timescale of a few tens of seconds. We investigate these dependencies in detail including their non-linearity. We discuss a possible physical interpretation of the observed behaviour in the frame of a simple one-dimensional model of the polar emitting region with a collisionless shock formed in the infalling plasma near the neutron star surface. With this model, we are able to reproduce the observed variations of the continuum hardness ratio and of the CRSF energy with luminosity.

description: We compute the spectral index of primordial perturbations in a rainbow universe. We allow the Newton constant $G$ to run at (super-)Planckian energies and we consider both vacuum and thermal perturbations. If the rainbow metric is the one associated to a generalized Horava-Lifshitz dispersion relation, we find that only when $G$ tends asymptotically to zero can one match the observed value of the spectral index and solve the horizon problem, both for vacuum and thermal perturbations. For vacuum fluctuations the observational constraints imply that the primordial universe expansion can be both accelerating or decelerating, while in the case of thermal perturbations only decelerating expansion is allowed.

Pairing in Luttinger Liquids and Quantum Hall States

description: We study spinless electrons in a single channel quantum wire interacting through attractive interaction, and the quantum Hall states that may be constructed by an array of such wires. For a single wire the electrons may form two phases, the Luttinger liquid and the strongly paired phase. The Luttinger liquid is gapless to one- and two-electron excitations, while the strongly paired state is gapped to the former and gapless to the latter. In contrast to the case in which the wire is proximity-coupled to an external superconductor, for an isolated wire there is no separate phase of a topological, weakly paired, superconductor. Rather, this phase is adiabatically connected to the Luttinger liquid phase. The properties of the one dimensional topological superconductor emerge when the number of channels in the wire becomes large. The quantum Hall states that may be formed by an array of single-channel wires depend on the Landau level filling factors. For odd-denominator fillings $ν=1/(2n+1)$, wires at the Luttinger phase form Laughlin states while wires in the strongly paired phase form bosonic fractional quantum Hall state of strongly-bound pairs at a filling of $1/(8n+4)$. The transition between the two is of the universality class of Ising transitions in three dimensions. For even-denominator fractions $ν=1/2n$ the two single-wire phases translate into four quantum Hall states. Two of those states are bosonic fractional quantum Hall states of weakly- and strongly- bound pairs of electrons. The other two are non-Abelian quantum Hall states, which originate from coupling wires close to their critical point. One of these non-Abelian states is the Moore-Read state. The transition between all these states are of the universality class of Majorana transitions. We point out some of the properties that characterize the different phases and the phase transitions.

Transition health

description: There is an urgent need for dairy practitioners to become more involved in managing the health of transition dairy cows on many large dairies. Veterinarians can become involved at the level of properly diagnosing and treating disease and at the level of disease prevention. Specific tools that veterinarians can use include objectively monitoring transition-cow health with an emphasis on monitoring early lactation death loss, getting into post-fresh pens to observe disease diagnosis and treatment, evaluating on-farm euthanasia procedures, evaluating handling and care of downer cows, encouraging proper recording and monitoring of transition-cow diseases, using on-farm data to identify risk factors for disease, and intensively monitoring key health outcomes such as hypocalcemia, ketosis, and lameness. The veterinarian’s role in transition cow health monitoring may be enhanced by establishing ongoing monitoring programs, which provide longer-term involvement than troubleshooting only.
