description: Developing networks of neural systems can exhibit spontaneous, synchronous activities called neural bursts, which can be important in the organization of functional neural circuits. Before the network matures, the activity level of a burst can reverberate in repeated rise-and-falls in periods of hundreds of milliseconds following an initial wave-like propagation of spiking activity, while the burst itself lasts for seconds. To investigate the spatiotemporal structure of the reverberatory bursts, we culture dissociated, rat cortical neurons on a high-density multi-electrode array to record the dynamics of neural activity over the growth and maturation of the network. We find the synchrony of the spiking significantly reduced following the initial wave and the activities become broadly distributed spatially. The synchrony recovers as the system reverberates until the end of the burst. Using a propagation model we infer the spreading speed of the spiking activity, which increases as the culture ages. We perform computer simulations of the system using a physiological model of spiking networks in two spatial dimensions and find the parameters that reproduce the observed resynchronization of spiking in the bursts. An analysis of the simulated dynamics suggests that the depletion of synaptic resources causes the resynchronization. The spatial propagation dynamics of the simulations match well with observations over the course of a burst and point to an interplay of the synaptic efficacy and the noisy neural self-activation in producing the morphology of the bursts.

Canonical transfer and multiscale energetics for primitive and quasi-geostrophic atmospheres

Subjects: subject: Atmospheric and Oceanic Physics (physics.ao-ph)

description: The past years have seen the success of a novel multiscale energetic formalism in a variety of ocean and engineering fluid applications. In a self-contained way, this study introduces it to the atmospheric dynamical diagnostics, with important theoretical updates. Multiscale energy equations are derived using a new analysis apparatus, namely, multiscale window transform, with respect to both the primitive equation and quasi-geostrophic models. A reconstruction of the "atomic" energy fluxes on the multiple scale windows allows for a natural and unique separation of the in-scale transports and cross-scale transfers from the intertwined nonlinear processes. The resulting energy transfers bear a Lie bracket form, reminiscent of the Poisson bracket in Hamiltonian mechanics, we hence would call them "canonical". A canonical transfer process is a mere redistribution of energy among scale windows, without generating or destroying energy as a whole. By classification, a multiscale energetic cycle comprises of available potential energy (APE) transport, kinetic energy (KE) transport, pressure work, buoyancy conversion, work done by external forcing and friction, and the cross-scale canonical transfers of APE and KE which correspond respectively to the baroclinic and barotropic instabilities, among others, in geophysical fluid dynamics. A buoyancy conversion takes place in an individual window only, bridging the two types of energy namely KE and APE, it does not involve any processes among different scale windows, and is hence basically not related to instabilities. This formalism is exemplified with a preliminary application to the Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO) study.

A Deterministic Mathematical Model for Bidirectional Excluded Flow with Langmuir Kinetics

description: In many important cellular processes, including mRNA translation, gene transcription, phosphotransfer, and intracellular transport, biological "particles" move along some kind of "tracks". The motion of these particles can be modeled as a one-dimensional movement along an ordered sequence of sites. The biological particles (e.g., ribosomes, RNAPs, phosphate groups, motor proteins) have volume and cannot surpass one another. In some cases, there is a preferred direction of movement along the track, but in general the movement may be two-directional, and furthermore the particles may attach or detach from various regions along the tracks (e.g. ribosomes may drop off the mRNA molecule before reaching a stop codon). We derive a new deterministic mathematical model for such transport phenomena that may be interpreted as the dynamic mean-field approximation of an important model from mechanical statistics called the asymmetric simple exclusion process (ASEP) with Langmuir kinetics. Using tools from the theory of monotone dynamical systems and contraction theory we show that the model admits a unique globally asymptotically stable equilibrium. This means that the occupancy in all the sites along the lattice converges to a steady-state value that depends on the parameters but not on the initial conditions. We also show that the model entrains (or phase locks) to periodic excitations in any of its forward, backward, attachment, or detachment rates. We demonstrate an application of this phenomenological transport model for analyzing the effect of ribosome drop off in mRNA translation. One may perhaps expect that drop off from a jammed site may increase the total flow by reducing congestion. Our results show that this is not true. Drop off has a substantial effect on the flow, yet always leads to a reduction in the steady-state protein production rate.

description: Virtual machines and virtualized hardware have been around for over half a century. The commoditization of the x86 platform and its rapidly growing hardware capabilities have led to recent exponential growth in the use of virtualization both in the enterprise and high performance computing (HPC). The startup time of a virtualized environment is a key performance metric for high performance computing in which the runtime of any individual task is typically much shorter than the lifetime of a virtualized service in an enterprise context. In this paper, a methodology for accurately measuring the startup performance on an HPC system is described. The startup performance overhead of three of the most mature, widely deployed cloud management frameworks (OpenStack, OpenNebula, and Eucalyptus) is measured to determine their suitability for workloads typically seen in an HPC environment. A 10x performance difference is observed between the fastest (Eucalyptus) and the slowest (OpenNebula) framework. This time difference is primarily due to delays in waiting on networking in the cloud-init portion of the startup. The methodology and measurements presented should facilitate the optimization of startup across a variety of virtualization environments.

description: We explore the classical dynamics of two interacting rotating dipoles that are fixed in the space and exposed to an external homogeneous electric field. Kinetic energy transfer mechanisms between the dipoles are investigated varying both the amount of initial excess kinetic energy of one of them and the strength of the electric field. In the field-free case, and depending on the initial excess energy an abrupt transition between equipartition and non-equipartition regimes is encountered. The study of the phase space structure of the system as well as the formulation of the Hamiltonian in an appropriate coordinate frame provide a thorough understanding of this sharp transition. When the electric field is turned on, the kinetic energy transfer mechanism is significantly more complex and the system goes through different regimes of equipartition and non-equipartition of the energy including chaotic behavior.

description: Motivated by the recent experimental report of a possible light-induced superconductivity in A3C60 at high temperature [Mitrano et al., Nature 530, 451 (2016)], we investigate theoretical mechanisms for enhanced superconductivity in A3C60 fullerenes. We find that an `interaction imbalance' corresponding to a smaller value of the Coulomb matrix element for two of the molecular orbitals in comparison to the third one, efficiently enhances superconductivity. Furthermore, we perform first-principle calculations of the changes in the electronic structure and in the screened Coulomb matrix elements of A3C60, brought in by the deformation associated with the pumped T1u intra-molecular mode. We find that an interaction imbalance is indeed induced, with a favorable sign and magnitude for superconductivity enhancement. The physical mechanism responsible for this enhancement consists in a stabilisation of the intra-molecular states containing a singlet pair, while preserving the orbital fluctuations allowing for a coherent inter-orbital delocalization of the pair. Other perturbations have also been considered and found to be detrimental to superconductivity. The light-induced deformation and ensuing interaction imbalance is shown to bring superconductivity further into the strong-coupling regime.

Dynamical Properties Of Bars: Internal vs. External Mechanisms

description: talk at GalacticBar2023 in Granada Galaxy bars can form via internal instability or tidal perturbations by other galaxies. We quantitatively compare the dynamical properties of bars formed through the two mechanisms, aiming to find reliable criteria to distinguish which mechanism is more likely to be responsible for individual bars. We perform a series of N-body simulations to systematically investigate the formation and growth of bars under both internal and external mechanisms. In isolated simulations, varying the galaxy models, we find that increasing the velocity dispersion/halo concentration/bulge fraction/bulge compactness delays or suppresses the bar formation. The stability of the central region is critical to bar formation. While in tidal interaction scenarios, we set the galaxy to interact with a perturber of different mass ratios on hyperbolic orbits with different impact parameters. Tidal perturbation promotes bar formation. An intermediate bulge mass fraction (B/T) suppresses bar formation in isolated evolution but is less likely to do so in interaction scenarios, which makes bulge fraction an important parameter that is worth further investigation. It is hard to distinguish bars formed via internal or external mechanisms by their maximum bar strength or A_2-Ω_p relation regardless of the interaction strength. However, the angular moment (AM) exchange differs under different mechanisms: the AM lost by the inner disk are mainly redistributed to the outer disk in isolated cases while these AM mainly go to the halo and the perturber in strong interaction simulations. We also find different evolution trends in the velocity dispersion, faster change in the inner region, and fine structures in the outer disk in strong tidal interaction (prograde/perpendicular perturber) compared with the secular evolution. We will further experiment with the dissipative gas component as well as sub-resolution physics to examine the criteria with more realistic models and study the lifetime of tidally induced bars. Our research helps further understand the formation and evolution of barred galaxies.

description: We construct a nonperturbative nonequilibrium theory for graphene electrons interacting via the instantaneous Coulomb interaction by combining the functional renormalization group method with the nonequilibrium Keldysh formalism. The Coulomb interaction is partially bosonized in the forward scattering channel resulting in a coupled Fermi-Bose theory. Quantum kinetic equations for the Dirac fermions and the Hubbard-Stratonovich boson are derived in Keldysh basis, together with the exact flow equation for the effective action and the hierarchy of one-particle irreducible vertex functions, taking into account a possible non-zero expectation value of the bosonic field. Eventually, the system of equations is solved approximately under thermal equilibrium conditions at finite temperature, providing results for the renormalized Fermi velocity and the static dielectric function, which extends the zero-temperature results of Bauer~\textit{et~al.}, Phys.\ Rev.\ B {\bf 92}, 121409 (2015).

description: Sensing static or slowly varying magnetic fields with high sensitivity and spatial resolution is critical to many applications in fundamental physics, bioimaging and materials science. Several versatile magnetometry platforms have emerged over the past decade, such as electronic spins associated with Nitrogen Vacancy (NV) centers in diamond. However, their high sensitivity to external fields also makes them poor sensors of DC fields. Indeed, the usual method of Ramsey magnetometry leaves them prone to environmental noise, limiting the allowable interrogation time to the short dephasing time T2*. Here we introduce a hybridized magnetometery platform, consisting of a sensor and ancilla, that allows sensing static magnetic fields with interrogation times up to the much longer T2 coherence time, allowing significant potential gains in field sensitivity. While more generally applicable, we demonstrate the method for an electronic NV sensor and a nuclear ancilla. It relies on frequency upconversion of transverse DC fields through the ancilla, allowing quantum lock-in detection with low-frequency noise rejection. In our experiments, we demonstrate sensitivities better than 6uT/vHz, comparable to the Ramsey method, and narrow-band signal noise filtering better than 64kHz. With technical optimization, we expect more than an one order of magnitude improvement in each of these parameters. Since our method measures transverse fields, in combination with the Ramsey detection of longitudinal fields, it ushers in a compelling technique for sensitive vector DC magnetometry at the nanoscale.

description: The success of SQL, NoSQL, and NewSQL databases is a reflection of their ability to provide significant functionality and performance benefits for specific domains, such as financial transactions, internet search, and data analysis. The BigDAWG polystore seeks to provide a mechanism to allow applications to transparently achieve the benefits of diverse databases while insulating applications from the details of these databases. Associative arrays provide a common approach to the mathematics found in different databases: sets (SQL), graphs (NoSQL), and matrices (NewSQL). This work presents the SQL relational model in terms of associative arrays and identifies the key mathematical properties that are preserved within SQL. These properties include associativity, commutativity, distributivity, identities, annihilators, and inverses. Performance measurements on distributivity and associativity show the impact these properties can have on associative array operations. These results demonstrate that associative arrays could provide a mathematical model for polystores to optimize the exchange of data and execution queries.

Subjects: HF Doppler shift, ionospheric layer height

description: The HamSCI community has been studying apparent frequency shifts in the reception of HF skywave signals from radio station WWV in Ft. Collins, CO. Causes for frequency shifts in the received signal are recognized as complex and varied. Leading candidates are Doppler shifts resulting from dynamic changes in refraction layer height and the behavior of modes at incidence angles at the cusp between escape into space and refraction back to earth. Observations have shown the most radical frequency disturbances occur during the diurnal transitions between night and day, with the morning transitions exhibiting more radical behavior than evening. Other changes in solar radiation such as passage of an eclipse shadow or solar flares produce similar results. In all cases the frequency swings were found to follow the rate of change of propagation path length. Specific behaviors studied include mode splitting, where the Doppler shift diverges into multiple overtone-related tracks, modes that abruptly manifest and disappear during the transition, and asymptotic behavior where Doppler tracks exhibit a rapid frequency change followed by extinction. This paper describes experiments and analytical procedures devised to better understand these phenomena that include 1. Development of a virtual height geometric model to relate path length to layer height, 2. The complimentary processes of calculating Doppler shifts from layer height changes and layer height changes from Doppler shifts, and 3. Analysis of intermittent low-Doppler shift modes and correlation with with ionosonde data to help identify E layer modes.. Plausible explanations for several aspects of observed frequency swings are postulated.

description: Pure SrTiO3 in bulk form is known to be an incipient ferroelectric where the quantum fluctuations of lattice positions prevent long range ferroelectric ordering at a finite temperature. We show evidence and identify the origin of ferroelectric relaxation up to nearly room temperature in single crystalline SrTiO3. Strikingly, the origin of the observed ferroelectric switching is intrinsic which is the coherent switching of surface nanopolar regions and not due to the nucleation and growth of domains, as described by the Kolmogorov-Avrami-Ishibashi Model.

This subsumes the sharp Hausdorff-Young inequality on such groups. In particular, we identify the region in $(p,q)$-space where the norm is infinite, generalizing a result of Fournier, and setting up a contrast with the case of finite abelian groups, where the norm was determined by Gilbert and Rzeszotnik. As an application, uncertainty principles on such groups expressed in terms of Rényi entropies are discussed.

description: This thesis examines the anti-nuclear movement in the United States from the mid-1970s to the mid-1980s, and assesses how activists within that movement demonstrated an ambivalent relationship to the legacies of the 1960s. Different activists, groups and organizations mobilizing against the threats posed by nuclear power and nuclear weapons, in the process promoting very different ideas about the efficacy of protest, the nature of the nuclear threat, and the meaning of "the sixties." Responding to a mixed legacy of activism and radical thought in the years since the 1960s, activists in the wider anti-nuclear movement both challenged and embraced the role of activism on the left in the midst of the conservative revival of the 1970s and 1980s. -- The popular cultural idea of "the sixties" as a time of hippie rebellion and destructive revolutionary movements affected progressive social movements in the 1970s and 1980s as they attempted to define themselves in response to popular memories of the 1960s. Oppositional social movements in the wake of the 1960s experimented with different styles of protest, on the one hand attempting to influence public policy, and on the other, satisfying personal philosophies of resistance. The "turn to the right" in local and national politics during the 1970s and 1980s meant that activists needed to redefine their role as harbingers of social change, without diminishing their appeal by advocating ideological or tactical radicalism. At the same time, however, many activists, groups, and organizations refused to compromise their identities in order to join a broad-based antinuclear movement; instead, they reaffirmed their radical stance on social change, in the process ensuring that the legacies of New Left and countercultural radicalism from the 1960s would be characterized by their mixed reception amongst anti-nuclear activists in later years. It is this process of - alternately - reaffirming, negotiating, and rejecting the legacies of the New Left and the counterculture in the anti-nuclear movement of the 1970s and 1980s that is the central theme of this thesis.

description: The conservation of lepton number is assumed to be associated with a general Yang-Mills symmetry. New transformations involve (Lorentz) vector gauge functions and characteristic phase functions, and they form a group. General Yang-Mills fields are associated with new fourth-order equations and linear potentials. Lepton self-masses turn out to be finite and proportional to the inverse of lepton masses, which implies that neutrinos should have non-zero masses. Thus, general Yang-Mills symmetry could provide an understanding of neutrino oscillations and suggests that neutrinos with masses and very weak leptonic force may play a role in dark matter.

Minimalistic analytical approach to non-Markovian open quantum systems

description: The dynamics of finite dimension open quantum systems is studied with the help of the simplest possible form of projection operators, namely the ones which project only onto one dimensional subspaces. The simplicity of the action of the projection operators always leads to an analytical solution of the dynamical master equation, even in the non-Markovian case, in any perturbative order. The analytical solution correctly reproduces the short-time dynamics, and can be used to recursively recover the dynamics for an arbitrary time interval with arbitrary precision. The necessary number of relevant degrees of freedom to completely characterise an open quantum system is $(n-1)(n+2)/2,$ where $n$ is the dimension of the Hilbert space of the open system. The method is illustrated by two examples, the relaxation of a qubit in a thermal bath and the dynamics of two interacting qubits in a common environment.

Asymmetric Dark Matter Models in SO(10)

description: We systematically study the possibilities for asymmetric dark matter in the context of non-supersymmetric SO(10) models of grand unification. Dark matter stability in SO(10) is guaranteed by a remnant $\mathbb{Z}_2$ symmetry which is preserved when the intermediate scale gauge subgroup of SO(10) is broken by a ${\bf 126}$ dimensional representation. The asymmetry in the dark matter states is directly generated through the out-of-equilibrium decay of particles around the intermediate scale, or transferred from the baryon/lepton asymmetry generated in the Standard Model sector by leptogenesis. We systematically classify possible asymmetric dark matter candidates in terms of their quantum numbers, and derive the conditions for each case that the observed dark matter density is (mostly) explained by the asymmetry of dark matter particles.

description: We present an innovative method for magnetic resonance force microscopy (MRFM) with ultra-low dissipation, by using the higher modes of the mechanical detector as radio frequency (rf) source. This method allows MRFM on samples without the need to be close to an rf source. Furthermore, since rf sources require currents that give dissipation, our method enables nuclear magnetic resonance experiments at ultra-low temperatures. Removing the need for an on-chip rf source is an important step towards a MRFM which can be widely used in condensed matter physics.

description: There is a lack of longitudinal studies of infertile patients with oligo/amenorrhoea examining changes in hormone concentrations and ovarian morphology. In this prospective longitudinal study, women with oligo/amenorrhoea (n = 42) were studied in detail and compared with a weight-matched group of regularly menstruating females (n = 20). Women with oligo/amenorrhoea exhibited an insignificant increase in body weight (BMI) but truncal-abdominal fat (WHR) was significantly higher than that of the control group. The mean basal FSH concentrations were similar in both the groups; E2 and SHBG concentrations were lower, and LH, T and FAI were significantly higher in patients than in controls. The comparison of the mean follicular phase endocrine profile during the 5-week window of observations, showed that the ovary was in a dynamic state, even in the absence of follicular growth and ovulation, and that E2, LH, T and consequently FAI were variable, both between and within patients. The mean follicular phase SHBG concentration was the most stable endocrine variable, and SHBG was also the only endocrine parameter able to distinguish between ovulatory and anovulatory cycles. Significantly higher concentrations of SHBG were found in spontaneously occurring ovulatory cycles of patients in comparison to those in patients who were anovulatory during the period of observation; the former group SHBG levels were compatible with the levels of controls measured in the follicular phase. The dynamic test for measurement of insulin resistance (IR), the SITT, was carried out twice in patients with oligo/amenorrhoea (n = 34) and in controls (n = 20). The SITT yielded similar KITT-values in patients and controls, there was considerable within patient variation and no relationship with anthropometric variables. Fasting I, GLU/INS ratio and FIRI (log10 FIRI) appeared to be better markers of IR than the KITT-value in patients with oligo/amenorrhoea, as they showed the significant expected relationships with anthropometric variables, especially WHR. The differences in IR between the groups appeared to be related to body mass differences as they disappeared after controlling for anthropometric variables. These studies showed that women with oligo/amenorrhoea, showed dynamic changes in ovarian and biochemical / endocrine parameters when examined serially. These changes were independent of ovulation and did not appear to be directly related to any of the metabolic parameters. The only parameter which was significantly linked to ovulation was SHBG. The results of these studies improve our insight into oligo/amenorrhoea and the associated PCOD and mean that in future any investigations performed on such patients should involve serial rather than single observations.

Photovoltaic anomalous Hall effect in line-node semimetals

description: We theoretically study the circularly polarized light-induced Floquet state in line-node semimetals with time-reversal symmetry and inversion symmetry. It is found that the Floquet state can show the photovoltaic anomalous Hall effect when an applied circularly polarized light gaps out the line node in the bulk and leave Weyl point nodes. The Hall conductivity is sensitive to the location of Fermi level: When the Fermi level locates at the node, the Hall conductivity depends on the radius of line node and is nearly independent of the intensity of light. Away from the line node, the Hall conductivity is dependent on the intensity of light. Such a sensitive Fermi-level dependence of the Hall conductivity in the presence of a weak laser intensity can have applications in phototransistors based on thin films of line-node semimetals.

description: The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) aims to spatially resolve the silhouette (or shadow) of the supermassive black holes in the Galactic Centre (Sgr A$^\star$) and M87. The primary scientific objectives are to test general relativity in the strong-field regime and to probe accretion and jet-launch physics at event-horizon scales. This is made possible by the technique of Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) at (sub)millimetre wavelengths, which can achieve angular resolutions of order $\sim10~μ$-arcsec. However, this approach suffers from unique observational challenges, including scattering in the troposphere and interstellar medium; rapidly time-variable source structure in both polarized and total intensity; as well as non-negligible antenna pointing errors. In this, the first paper in a series, we present the MeqSilhouette software package which is specifically designed to accurately simulate EHT observations. It includes realistic descriptions of a number of signal corruptions that can limit the ability to measure the key science parameters. This can be used to quantify calibration requirements, test parameter estimation and imaging strategies, and investigate systematic uncertainties that may be present. In doing so, a stronger link can be made between observational capabilities and theoretical predictions, with the goal of maximising scientific output from the upcoming order of magnitude increase in EHT sensitivity.
