description: The mass, radius and crustal fraction of moment of inertia in neutron stars are calculated using $β$-equilibrated nuclear matter obtained from Skyrme effective interaction. The transition density, pressure and proton fraction at the inner edge separating the liquid core from the solid crust of the neutron stars are determined from the thermodynamic stability conditions using the KDE0v1 set. The neutron star masses obtained by solving the Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff equations using neutron star matter obtained from this set is able to describe highly massive compact stars $\sim$2$M_{\odot}$. The crustal fraction of the moment of inertia can be extracted from studying pulsar glitches. This fraction is highly dependent on the core-crust transition pressure and corresponding density. These results for pressure and density at core-crust transition together with the observed minimum crustal fraction of the total moment of inertia provide a limit for the radius of the Vela pulsar:$R\geq$ 3.69+3.44 M/$M_{\odot}$. Present calculations suggest that the crustal fraction of the total moment of inertia can be at most 3.6% due to crustal entrainment caused by Bragg reflection of unbound neutrons by lattice ions.

Why Iran Should Not Get the Bomb, and Neither Should Israel: The Case for Nuclear Disarmament
Creators: name: Bowles, Vivian
Publisher: name: University of Chicago
Year: 2022

description: This thesis explores the question of how, why, and under what conditions states give up their nuclear weapons. There are four examples of denuclearization: Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Belarus, and South Africa. I conduct case studies of these four historical examples, positing South Africa as a model for nuclear disarmament with potential to be replicated in the future. Of the nine current nuclear states, Israel shares the most commonalities with pre-disarmament apartheid South Africa. I argue that Israeli denuclearization is not only possible under the South African model, but it is preferable for the state’s long-term security interests, including but not limited to its relations with Iran. I conclude with the broader implications for regional and international security, specifically what this might mean for other nuclear states.

description: Modification of calcium carbonate particles with surfactant significantly improves the properties of the calcium carbonate coating on paper. Unmodified and CTAB and oleate-modified calcium carbonate nanoparticles were prepared using the wet carbonation technique for paper coating. CTAB (cationic surfactant) and sodium oleate (anionic surfactant) were used to modify the size, morphology, and surface properties of the precipitated nanoparticles. The obtained particles were characterized by XRD, FT-IR spectroscopy, zeta potential measurements, TGA and TEM. Coating colors were formulated from the prepared unmodified and modified calcium carbonates and examined by creating a thin coating layer on reference paper. The effect of calcium carbonate particle size and surface modification on paper properties, such as coating thickness, coating weight, surface roughness, air permeability, brightness, whiteness, opacity, and hydrophobicity, were investigated and compared with GCC calcium carbonate-coated papers. The obtained calcium carbonate nanoparticles are in the calcite phase. The morphology of the prepared calcium carbonate nanoparticles is rhombohedral, and the average particle diameter is <100 nm. Compared to commercial GCC, the use of unmodified and CTAB- and oleate-modified calcium carbonate nanoparticles in paper coating improves the properties of paper. The highest measured paper properties were observed for paper coated with oleate-modifed nanoparticles, where an increase in smoothness (decrease in paper roughness) (+23%), brightness (+1.3%), whiteness (+2.8%), and opacity (+2.3%) and a decrease in air permeability (-26%) was obtained with 25% less coat weight. The WCA at 10 min was about 112° for the paper coated with oleate-modified nanoparticles and 42° for paper coated with CTAB-modified nanoparticles compared to 104° for GCC-coated paper.

description: We develop a framework for computing the total valuation adjustment (XVA) of a European claim accounting for funding costs, counterparty credit risk, and collateralization. Based on no-arbitrage arguments, we derive backward stochastic differential equations (BSDEs) associated with the replicating portfolios of long and short positions in the claim. This leads to the definition of buyer's and seller's XVA, which in turn identify a no-arbitrage interval. In the case that borrowing and lending rates coincide, we provide a fully explicit expression for the unique XVA, expressed as a percentage of the price of the traded claim, and for the corresponding replication strategies. In the general case of asymmetric funding, repo and collateral rates, we study the semilinear partial differential equations (PDE) characterizing buyer's and seller's XVA and show the existence of a unique classical solution to it. To illustrate our results, we conduct a numerical study demonstrating how funding costs, repo rates, and counterparty risk contribute to determine the total valuation adjustment.

description: Motivated primarily by the large uncertainties in the thermonuclear rate of the $^{30}$P$(p,γ)^{31}$S reaction that limit our understanding of classical novae, we carried out lifetime measurements of $^{31}$S excited states using the Doppler Shift Lifetimes (DSL) facility at the TRIUMF Isotope Separator and Accelerator (ISAC-II) facility. The $^{31}$S excited states were populated by the $^{3}$He$(^{32}$S$,α)^{31}$S reaction. The deexcitation $γ$ rays were detected by a clover-type high-purity germanium detector in coincidence with the $α$ particles detected by a silicon detector telescope. We have applied modern Markov chain Monte Carlo-based Bayesian methods to perform lineshape analyses of Doppler-shift attenuation method $γ$-ray data for the first time. We have determined the lifetimes of the two lowest-lying $^{31}$S excited states. First experimental upper limits on the lifetimes of four higher-lying states have been obtained. The experimental results were compared to shell-model calculations using five universal $sd$-shell Hamiltonians. Evidence for $γ$ rays originating from the astrophysically important $J^π=3/2^+$, 260-keV $^{30}$P$(p,γ)^{31}$S resonance has also been observed, although strong constraints on the lifetime will require better statistics.
Formation and composition of planets around very low mass stars

description: The recent detection of planets around very low mass stars raises the question of the formation, composition and potential habitability of these objects. We use planetary system formation models to infer the properties, in particular their radius distribution and water content, of planets that may form around stars ten times less massive than the Sun. Our planetary system formation and composition models take into account the structure and evolution of the protoplanetary disk, the planetary mass growth by accretion of solids and gas, as well as planet-planet, planet-star and planet-disk interactions. We show that planets can form at small orbital period in orbit about low mass stars. We show that the radius of the planets is peaked at about 1 rearth and that they are, in general, volatile rich especially if proto-planetary discs orbiting this type of stars are long-lived. Close-in planets orbiting low-mass stars similar in terms of mass and radius to the ones recently detected can be formed within the framework of the core accretion paradigm as modeled here. The properties of protoplanetary disks, and their correlation with the stellar type, are key to understand their composition.

description: Nested multilayer mirrors are commonly used in X-ray telescope structures to increase the collecting area. To balance the difficulty and cost of producing these mirrors, the classical Wolter-I structure has previously been replaced with a conical Wolter-I structure, but it can lead to significantly poorer angular resolution. In this paper, we consider changing one of the mirror shapes (paraboloid or hyperboloid) of the Wolter-I structure to a conical mirror shape, while the other mirror shape remains a quadric surface-type structure, which could thus ensure the imaging quality. Based on a theoretical analysis and the results of simulations, the cone-hyperboloid and paraboloid-cone structures are found to provide the best angular resolutions, and the cone-hyperboloid structure is shorter than the paraboloid-cone structure at the focal length. The cone-hyperboloid structure is then nested to obtain the best on-axis angular resolution and off-axis images.

description: Nonreciprocity of spin wave propagation is a well-known consequence of antisymmetric exchange contributions possible in magnetic spin systems that lack inversion symmetry. In this case, it is possible for the energy of a state to depend on the sign of its momentum as ω(k) ${\neq}$ ω(-k). We discuss here the consequences of this nonreciprocity on counterpropagating travelling spin wave states. In a confined geometry we find states with well-defined nodes but with amplitudes that are modulated such that inversion symmetry of the mode profile is lost. This feature leads to the suggestion that additional features may become visible in, for example, ferromagnetic resonance studies of ferromagnetic micro-elements with DMI, allowing a quantification of the amplitude and direction of the DMI. Moreover, this interference between nonreciprocal modes forms the basis for a generalized concept of mode confinement.

description: We experimentally realize indirect coupling between two cavity modes via strong coupling with the ferromagnetic resonance in Yttrium Iron Garnet (YIG). We find that some indirectly coupled modes of our system can have a higher microwave transmission than the individual uncoupled modes. Using a coupled harmonic oscillator model, the influence of the oscillation phase difference between the two cavity modes on the nature of the indirect coupling is revealed. These indirectly coupled microwave modes can be controlled using an external magnetic field or by tuning the cavity height. This work has potential for use in controllable optical devices and information processing technologies.
Tailoring radiation pressure on infinite slab using pair of non-collinear plane waves

description: The electromagnetic field exerts radiation pressure on the matter and tends to move it either in the backward or forward direction due to net optical pulling or pushing force, respectively. In this work, we reveal an interesting phenomenon of a local positive and negative radiation pressure on a dielectric (chiral) slab by using two linearly (circularly) polarized plane waves. In this regard, we develop for the first time, a theory to describe the local radiation pressure appearing due to the interference between the two obliquely impinging (non-collinear) light sources. Under this {situation}, the radiation pressure strongly depends on the angle of incidence, the polarization of the electromagnetic field and the chirality parameters of the slab (in the case of chiral medium). Our numerical analysis shows that the radiation pressure, exerted on a dielectric or a chiral slab due to the two incident plane waves, is constant over the slab for normal incidence, and it varies locally for an oblique incidence, which indeed follows the conservation laws at all incident angles. It is expected that the results may find fruitful applications in optical manipulation of soft matters, for instance, cell membranes, chiral surfaces and other soft materials

On break-away forces in actuated motion systems with nonlinear friction

description: The phenomenon of so-called break-away forces, as maximal actuation forces at which a sticking system begins to slide and thus passes over to a steady (macro) motion, is well known from engineering practice but still less understood in its cause-effect relationship. This note analyzes the break-away behavior of systems with nonlinear friction, which is analytically well-described by combining the Coulomb friction law with rate-independent presliding transitions and, when necessary, Stribeck effect of the velocity-weakening steady-state curve. The break-away conditions are harmonized with analytic form of the system description and shown to be in accord with a relationship between the varying break-away force and actuation force rate -- well known from the experiments reported in several independently published works.

description: We present the results of VLT-MUSE integral field spectroscopy of SECCO1, a faint, star-forming stellar system recently discovered as the stellar counterpart of an Ultra Compact High Velocity Cloud (HVC274.68+74.0), very likely residing within a substructure of the Virgo cluster of galaxies. We have obtained the radial velocity of a total of 38 individual compact sources identified as HII regions in the main and secondary body of the system, and derived the metallicity for 18 of them. We provide the first direct demonstration that the two stellar bodies of SECCO1 are physically associated and that their velocities match the HI velocities. The metallicity is quite uniform over the whole system, with a dispersion sigma_12+log(O/H/)=0.08, lower than the uncertainty on individual metallicity estimates. The mean abundance, 12+log(O/H)=8.44, is much higher than the typical values for local dwarf galaxies of similar stellar mass. This strongly suggests that the SECCO~1 stars were born from a pre-enriched gas cloud, possibly stripped from a larger galaxy. Using archival HST images we derive a total stellar mass of ~1.6 X 10^5 M_sun for SECCO1, confirming that it has a very high HI to stellar mass ratio for a dwarf galaxy, M_HI/M_*~ 100. The star formation rate, derived from the H_alpha flux is a factor of more than 10 higher than in typical dwarf galaxies of similar luminosity.

description: The expansion of a magnetized high-pressure plasma into a low-pressure ambient medium is examined with particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations. The magnetic field points perpendicularly to the plasma's expansion direction and binary collisions between particles are absent. The expanding plasma steepens into a quasi-electrostatic shock that is sustained by the lower-hybrid (LH) wave. The ambipolar electric field points in the expansion direction and it induces together with the background magnetic field a fast E cross B drift of electrons. The drifting electrons modify the background magnetic field, resulting in its pile-up by the LH shock. The magnetic pressure gradient force accelerates the ambient ions ahead of the LH shock, reducing the relative velocity between the ambient plasma and the LH shock to about the phase speed of the shocked LH wave, transforming the LH shock into a nonlinear LH wave. The oscillations of the electrostatic potential have a larger amplitude and wavelength in the magnetized plasma than in an unmagnetized one with otherwise identical conditions. The energy loss to the drifting electrons leads to a noticable slowdown of the LH shock compared to that in an unmagnetized plasma.

description: This volume contains the proceedings of the Combined 23nd International Workshop on Expressiveness in Concurrency and the 13th Workshop on Structural Operational Semantics (EXPRESS/SOS 2016) which was held on 22 August 2016 in Québec City, Canada, as an affiliated workshop of CONCUR 2016, the 27th International Conference on Concurrency Theory. The EXPRESS workshops aim at bringing together researchers interested in the expressiveness of various formal systems and semantic notions, particularly in the field of concurrency. Their focus has traditionally been on the comparison between programming concepts (such as concurrent, functional, imperative, logic and object-oriented programming) and between mathematical models of computation (such as process algebras, Petri nets, event structures, modal logics, and rewrite systems) on the basis of their relative expressive power. The EXPRESS workshop series has run successfully since 1994 and over the years this focus has become broadly construed. The SOS workshops aim at being a forum for researchers, students and practitioners interested in new developments, and directions for future investigation, in the field of structural operational semantics. One of the specific goals of the SOS workshop series is to establish synergies between the concurrency and programming language communities working on the theory and practice of SOS. Since 2012, the EXPRESS and SOS communities have organized an annual combined EXPRESS/SOS workshop on the expressiveness of mathematical models of computation and the formal semantics of systems and programming concepts.

description: High-pressure phase of boron oxide, orthorhombic \b{eta}-B2O3, has been studied in situ by synchrotron X-ray diffraction to 22 GPa and Raman scattering to 46 GPa at room temperature. The bulk modulus of \b{eta}-B2O3 has been found to be 169(3) GPa that is in good agreement with our ab initio calculations. Raman and IR spectra of \b{eta}-B2O3 have been measured at ambient pressure, all experimentally observed bands have been attributed to the theoretically calculated ones, and the mode assignment has been performed. Based on the data on Raman shift as a function of pressure, combined with equation-of-state data, the Grüneisen parameters of all experimentally observed Raman bands have been calculated. \b{eta}-B2O3 enriched by 10B isotope has been synthesized, and the effect of boron isotopic substitution on Raman spectra has been studied.

description: A multiresolution analysis for solving stochastic conservation laws is proposed. Using a novel adaptation strategy and a higher dimensional deterministic problem, a discontinuous Galerkin (DG) solver is derived. A multiresolution analysis of the DG spaces for the proposed adaptation strategy is presented. Numerical results show that in the case of general stochastic distributions the performance of the DG solver is significantly improved by the novel adaptive strategy. The gain in efficiency is validated in computational experiments.

description: Spectrum sharing has long been considered as method to improve spectrum resource utilization. Centralized geolocation database approach has been accepted globally for commercial applications. Recently blockchain has been considered as a platform to support spectrum sharing in a distributed manner. Like other commodities, spectrum or right of spectrum usage can be exchanged through blockchain. However, this leads to changes of the location where a particular frequency channel is utilized which brings potential interference. In this paper, we present the interference based consensus and smart contract for blockchain based spectrum sharing. We will also introduce the other aspects of blockchain such as cross train transaction, cross tier spectrum coordination and incentive mechanism that need to be studied for spectrum sharing applications.

description: We revisited the spectroscopic characteristics of narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxies (NLS1s) by analysing a homogeneous sample of 296 NLS1s at redshift between 0.028 and 0.345, extracted from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS-DR7) public archive. We confirm that NLS1s are mostly characterized by Balmer lines with Lorentzian profiles, lower black hole masses and higher Eddington ratios than classic broad-line Seyfert 1 (BLS1s), but they also appear to be active galactic nuclei (AGNs) contiguous with BLS1s and sharing with them common properties. Strong Fe II emission does not seem to be a distinctive property of NLS1s, as low values of Fe II/H$β$ are equally observed in these AGNs. Our data indicate that Fe II and Ca II kinematics are consistent with the one of H$β$. On the contrary, O I $λ$8446 seems to be systematically narrower and it is likely emitted by gas of the broad-line region more distant from the ionizing source and showing different physical properties. Finally, almost all NLS1s of our sample show radial motions of the narrow-line region highly-ionised gas. The mechanism responsible for this effect is not yet clear, but there are hints that very fast outflows require high continuum luminosities (> $10^{44}$ erg/s) or high Eddington ratios (log(L$_{\rm bol}$/L$_{\rm Edd}$) > -0.1).

description: Estimating a distance by inverting a parallax is only valid in the absence of noise. As most stars in the Gaia catalogue will have non-negligible fractional parallax errors, we must treat distance estimation as a constrained inference problem. Here we investigate the performance of various priors for estimating distances, using a simulated Gaia catalogue of one billion stars. We use three minimalist, isotropic priors, as well an anisotropic prior derived from the observability of stars in a Milky Way model. The two priors that assume a uniform distribution of stars--either in distance or in space density---give poor results: The root mean square fractional distance error, f_RMS, grows far in excess of 100% once the fractional parallax error, f_true, is larger than 0.1. A prior assuming an exponentially decreasing space density with increasing distance performs well once its single scale length parameter has been set to an appropriate value: f_RMS is roughly equal to f_true for f_true < 0.4, yet does not increase further as f_true increases up to to 1.0. The Milky Way prior performs well except towards the Galactic centre, due to a mismatch with the (simulated) data. Such mismatches will be inevitable (and remain unknown) in real applications, and can produce large errors. We therefore suggest to adopt the simpler exponentially decreasing space density prior, which is also less time-consuming to compute. Including Gaia photometry improves the distance estimation significantly for both the Milky Way and exponentially decreasing space density prior, yet doing so requires additional assumptions about the physical nature of stars.

The BV formalism: theory and application to a matrix model

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Mathematical Physics (math-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We review the BV formalism in the context of $0$-dimensional gauge theories. For a gauge theory $(X_{0}, S_{0})$ with an affine configuration space $X_{0}$, we describe an algorithm to construct a corresponding extended theory $(\tilde{X}, \tilde{S})$, obtained by introducing ghost and anti-ghost fields, with $\tilde{S}$ a solution of the classical master equation in $\mathcal{O}_{\tilde{X}}$. This construction is the first step to define the (gauge-fixed) BRST cohomology complex associated to $(\tilde{X}, \tilde{S})$, which encodes many interesting information on the initial gauge theory $(X_{0}, S_{0})$. The second part of this article is devoted to the application of this method to a matrix model endowed with a $U(2)$-gauge symmetry, explicitly determining the corresponding $\tilde{X}$ and the general solution $\tilde{S}$ of the classical master equation for the model.

description: Although theoretical investigations indicate that the successful combination of graphene and diamond would give interesting properties, only a limited number of reports dealing with the subject have been published. Here, we present a rapid thermal process (RTP) which involves Ni as metal catalyst for a direct growth of graphene on diamond at a temperature of 800 $^{\circ}$C for 1 min. This process operates with a combination of a lower temperature and for a shorter duration than what has previously been reported. Thin Ni films with different thicknesses were deposited on top of (100) single crystalline diamond. After RTP, the coverage of monolayer graphene was found to be around 20% shown by the intensity ratio between the 2D- and G peak using Raman spectroscopy on 50-nm thick Ni films. In addition, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy analysis were conducted for additional investigation. For electrical characterization, Hall-effect measurements were performed at temperatures between 80 and 360 K.
Machine learning light hypernuclei

description: We employ a feed-forward artificial neural network to extrapolate at large model spaces the results of {\it ab-initio} hypernuclear No-Core Shell Model calculations for the $Λ$ separation energy $B_Λ$ of the lightest hypernuclei, $^3_Λ$H, $^4_Λ$H and $^4_Λ$He, obtained in computationally accessible harmonic oscillator basis spaces using chiral nucleon-nucleon, nucleon-nucleon-nucleon and hyperon-nucleon interactions. The overfitting problem is avoided by enlarging the size of the input dataset and by introducing a Gaussian noise during the training process of the neural network. We find that a network with a single hidden layer of eight neurons is sufficient to extrapolate correctly the value of the $Λ$ separation energy to model spaces of size $N_{max}=100$. The results obtained are in agreement with the experimental data in the case of $^3_Λ$H and the $0^+$ state of $^4_Λ$He, although they are off of the experiment by about $0.3$ MeV for both the $0^+$ and $1^+$states of $^4_Λ$H and the $1^+$ state of $^4_Λ$He. We find that our results are in excellent agreement with those obtained using other extrapolation schemes of the No-Core Shell Model calculations, showing this that an ANN is a reliable method to extrapolate the results of hypernuclear No-Core Shell Model calculations to large model spaces.

description: We analyze Chandra X-ray images of a sample of 11 quasars that are known to contain kiloparsec scale radio jets. The sample consists of five high-redshift (z >= 3.6) flat-spectrum radio quasars, and six intermediate redshift (2.1 < z < 2.9) quasars. The dataset includes four sources with integrated steep radio spectra and seven with flat radio spectra. A total of 25 radio jet features are present in this sample. We apply a Bayesian multi-scale image reconstruction method to detect and measure the X-ray emission from the jets. We compute deviations from a baseline model that does not include the jet, and compare observed X-ray images with those computed with simulated images where no jet features exist. This allows us to compute p-value upper bounds on the significance that an X- ray jet is detected in a pre-determined region of interest. We detected 12 of the features unambiguously, and an additional 6 marginally. We also find residual emission in the cores of 3 quasars and in the background of 1 quasar that suggest the existence of unresolved X-ray jets. The dependence of the X-ray to radio luminosity ratio on redshift is a potential diagnostic of the emission mechanism, since the inverse Compton scattering of cosmic microwave background photons (IC/CMB) is thought to be redshift dependent, whereas in synchrotron models no clear redshift dependence is expected. We find that the high-redshift jets have X-ray to radio flux ratios that are marginally inconsistent with those from lower redshifts, suggesting that either the X-ray emissions is due to the IC/CMB rather than the synchrotron process, or that high redshift jets are qualitatively different.

A Method to Detect Quantum Coherent Transport in Memristive Devices

description: While the size of functional elements in memristors becomes of the orders of nano-meters or even smaller, the quantum effects in their dynamics can significantly influence their transport properties, consistent with recent experimental observations of conductance quantisation in memristors. This requires the development of experimentally realizable procedures to detect quantumness of memristors. Here we developed an experimental protocol allowing us to find evidence that the memristor can be in a superposition of states with different memristivities. We simulate the nonlinearity induced in the quantum memristive system via periodic projective measurements, observing how it manifests itself in the emergence of additional spectral components in the response to the harmonic signal. Moreover, the response demonstrates a resonant behaviour when the frequency of the projective measurements commensurates with the frequency of the input. We demonstrate that observation of such harmonic mixing can be used as experimental evidence of quantum effects in memristors.
