description: The control of the charge state of nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamond is of primary importance for the stabilization of their quantum-optical properties, in applications ranging from quantum sensing to quantum computing. To this purpose, in this work current-injecting micro-electrodes were fabricated in bulk diamond for NV charge state control. Buried (i.e. 3 μm in depth) graphitic micro-electrodes with spacing of 9 μm were created in single-crystal diamond substrates by means of a 6 MeV C scanning micro-beam. The high breakdown field of diamond was exploited to electrically control the variation in the relative population of the negative (NV-) and neutral (NV0) charge states of sub-superficial NV centers located in the inter- electrode gap regions, without incurring into current discharges. Photoluminescence spectra acquired from the biased electrodes exhibited an electrically induced increase up to 40% in the NV- population at the expense of the NV0 charge state. The variation in the relative charge state populations showed a linear dependence from the injected current at applied biases smaller than 250 V, and was interpreted as the result of electron trapping at NV sites, consistently with the Space Charge Limited Current interpretation of the abrupt current increase observed at 300 V bias voltage. In correspondence of such trap-filling-induced transition to a high-current regime, a strong electroluminescent emission from the NV0 centers was observed. In the high-current-injection regime, a decrease in the NV- population was observed, in contrast with the results obtained at lower bias voltages. These results disclose new possibilities in the electrical control of the charge state of NV centers located in the diamond bulk, which are characterized by longer spin coherence times.

description: The present study was aimed at evaluating the adsorption of phosphate ions using Punica granatum shells (PGS) as an environmentally friendly and economical sorbent material. The PGS powder was characterized by several techniques including BET, pHpzc, SEM, and FTIR, as well as its adsorption capacity evaluated with the sorption of PO43− from water. To achieve adequate removal of PO43− from water, a chemometric method based on the Box–Behnken design was applied to optimize the influence of the main operating factors such as the PGS amount (0.10–1 g L−1), medium pH (3–9), and PO43− initial concentration (10–100 mg L−1) on the adsorption processes. Noteworthy, the best adsorption amount (29.31 mg g−1) was obtained at a pollutant dose of 72.72 mg L−1, an adsorbent quantity of 1 g L−1 in medium acid pH 3 at 25 °C. The modeling study suggests that the process of PO43− uptake follows the pseudo-second-order model with a maximum adsorbent quantity of 32.25 mg g−1.

description: A suitable way of quantifying work for microscopic quantum systems has been constantly debated in the field of quantum thermodynamics. One natural approach is to measure the average increase in energy of an ancillary system, called the battery, after a work extraction protocol. The quality of energy extracted is usually argued to be good by quantifying higher moments of the energy distribution, or by restricting the amount of entropy to be low. This limits the amount of heat contribution to the energy extracted, but does not completely prevent it. We show that the definition of "work" is crucial. If one allows for a definition of work that tolerates a non-negligible entropy increase in the battery, then a small scale heat engine can possibly exceed the Carnot efficiency. This can be achieved even when one of the heat baths is finite in size.

description: We report a fast, safe, and efficient procedure for the synthesis of phosphorylated derivatives of piperazines through a multicomponent reaction (MCR) strategy. Our key reagents were the piperazines 1-(2-methoxyphenyl) piperazine and 3-(4- (2-methoxyphenyl) piperazin-1-yl) propan-1-amine which reacted with five different phosphorous chlorides. A total of ten new derivatives were obtained, all confirmed by NMR spectroscopy (1H, 13C, and 31P) and mass spectrometry. Then, the reactivity profile of our new compounds was characterized through the new theoretical framework of the Local Electronic Temperature of Atoms in Molecules (LT-AIMs), from which we identified the most reactive sites of each of our derivatives. Furthermore, some of the quantities defined within this context were used to reproduce trends observed in our NMR records. A brief discussion about the advantages of performing a combined experimental and theoretical chemical characterization of recently synthesized compounds is also presented, particularly for those compounds with potential therapeutic features.

description: To study the impact of active galactic nuclei (AGN) feedback on the galactic ISM, we present Magellan long-slit spectroscopy of 12 luminous nearby type 2 AGN (L_bol~10^{45.0-46.5} erg/s, z~0.1). These objects are selected from a parent sample of spectroscopically identified AGN to have high [OIII]λ5007 and WISE mid-IR luminosities and extended emission in the SDSS r-band images, suggesting the presence of extended [OIII]λ5007 emission. We find spatially resolved [OIII] emission (2-35 kpc from the nucleus) in 8 out of 12 of these objects. Combined with samples of higher luminosity type 2 AGN, we confirm that the size of the narrow-line region (R_NLR) scales with the mid-IR luminosity until the relation flattens at ~10 kpc. Nine out of 12 objects in our sample have regions with broad [OIII] linewidths (w_80>600 km/s), indicating outflows. We define these regions as the kinematically-disturbed region (KDR). The size of the KDR (R_KDR) is typically smaller than R_NLR by few kpc but also correlates strongly with the AGN mid-IR luminosity. Given the unknown density in the gas, we derive a wide range in the energy efficiency η=dot{E}/L_bol=0.01%-30%. We find no evidence for an AGN luminosity threshold below which outflows are not launched. To explain the sizes, velocity profiles, and high occurrence rates of the outflows in the most luminous AGN, we propose a scenario in which energy-conserving outflows are driven by AGN episodes with ~10^8-year durations. Within each episode the AGN flickers on shorter timescales, with a cadence of ~10^6 year active phases separated by ~10^7 years.

description: We present a new design of a Fourier Domain Mode Locked laser (FDML laser), which provides a new record in sweep range at ~1um center wavelength: At the fundamental sweep rate of 2x417 kHz we reach 143nm bandwidth and 120nm with 4x buffering at 1.67MHz sweep rate. The latter configuration of our system is characterized: The FWHM of the point spread function (PSF) of a mirror is 5.6um (in tissue). Human in vivo retinal imaging is performed with the MHz laser showing more details in vascular structures. Here we could measure an axial resolution of 6.0um by determining the FWHM of specular reflex in the image. Additionally, challenges related to such a high sweep bandwidth such as water absorption are investigated.

In this paper, we completely classify the cubic Cayley graphs on $D_{2p}$ up to isomorphism by means of spectral method. By the way, we show that two cubic Cayley graphs on $D_{2p}$ are isomorphic if and only if they are cospectral. Moreover, we obtain the number of isomorphic classes of cubic Cayley graphs on $D_{2p}$ by using Gauss' celebrated law of quadratic reciprocity.

Surveying the diversity of Rubisco activase genes in Australian wild crop relatives
Creators: name: Phillips, Aaron L.
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: Rubisco activase (RCA) is the regulatory partner of Rubisco – the enzyme that fixes CO2 into sugars. RCA removes inhibitory compounds from the active sites of Rubisco. Thus, RCA can reactivate Rubisco, increasing the efficiency of biomass accumulation in plants. Under heat stress the association between RCA and Rubisco breaks down and plant productivity declines. However,wild crop relatives that occur in hot environments have divergent RCA isoforms that can function during heat stress. Because average daily temperatures are increasing, RCA has garnered interest for transgenic studies. This study aimed to characterise the heat response of photosynthesis and RCA abundance, and the sequence diversity of RCA in domestic and wild species of cotton (Gossypium) and tobacco (Nicotiana) and three populations of kangaroo grass (Themeda triandra). I found that wild species’ photosynthetic rates demonstrate a range of responses to increased temperature. I identified four isoforms of RCA in both Gossypium and Nicotiana species, and one isoform in Themeda as well as three RCA mutant isoforms in Gossypium and one in Nicotiana. This study showed that while the total RCA content of each of these species did not change in response to heat, thermotolerant species of both genera demonstrated unique patterns of RCA accumulation, indicating the importance of RCA stoichiometry in thermotolerance. Finally, I report the occurrence of polymorphisms in RCA from Gossypium, Nicotiana, and T. triandra which may contribute to changes in RCA rigidity but which do not fit with current ideas about RCA thermostability.

description: The microscopic physics behind the lattice thermal conductivity of NiTiSn is investigated using first-principles-based anharmonic lattice dynamics. The calcu lated lattice thermal conductivity of bulk materials (5.3 W/m.K) is in good agreement with the experimental value at the optimal working temper ature (700 K), but is overestimated below this temperature. The calculated values can be strongly affected by the size of the crystalline grains. We show tha t the lattice thermal conductivity is dominated by the acoustic (transverse and mostly longitudinal) modes with no contribution from the optical modes. The a coustic phonons are located below 150 cm-1 and involve mainly the tin atoms. The calculated mean free path of the most heat carrying phonons is around f ifty nanometers with a maximum life time of approx. 100 ps. These theoretical results are a step forward in developing the experimental design of low thermal conductivity NiTiSn Heusler based materials.

This workshop seeks to walk through the 2021 National Security Presidential Memo 33 (NSPM-33) ,the 2022 OSTP Public Access Memo and share how use of persistent identifiers (PIDs) are key to ensuring compliance. We’ll share PID aspects of the implementation guidance provided for NSPM-33, timelines and next steps for the Public Access Memo, and implementation options for both memos. Moving to the technical side, we’ll discuss how the various persistent identifiers function in ensuring trustworthy metadata by from other systems via the API, specifically affiliation metadata (ROR), publication and grant metadata (Crossref) and author and contributing author metadata (ORCID). Finally, we’ll ensure time for interaction and discussion to ensure that research institutions, research administrators, repository managers, are familiar with how their landscape as well as that of funders and publishers will change and how to ensure their community is well-prepared.

description: Context. The mass loss from massive stars is not understood well. Eta Car is a unique object for studying the massive stellar wind during the LBV phase. It is also an eccentric binary with a period of 5.54 yr. The nature of both stars is uncertain, although we know from X-ray studies that there is a wind-wind collision whose properties change with orbital phase. Methods. Observations of Eta Car were carried out with the ESO VLTI and the AMBER instrument between approximately five and seven months before the August 2014 periastron passage. Velocity-resolved aperture-synthesis images were reconstructed from the spectrally dispersed interferograms. Interferometric studies can provide information on the binary orbit, the primary wind, and the wind collision. Results. We present velocity-resolved aperture-synthesis images reconstructed in more than 100 different spectral channels distributed across the Br Gamma 2.166 micrometer emission line. The intensity distribution of the images strongly depends on wavelength. At wavelengths corresponding to radial velocities of approximately -140 to -376 km/s measured relative to line center, the intensity distribution has a fan-shaped structure. At the velocity of -277 km/s, the position angle of the symmetry axis of the fan is ~ 126 degree. The fan-shaped structure extends approximately 8.0 mas (~ 18.8 au) to the southeast and 5.8 mas (~ 13.6 au) to the northwest, measured along the symmetry axis at the 16% intensity contour. The shape of the intensity distributions suggests that the obtained images are the first direct images of the innermost wind-wind collision zone. Therefore, the observations provide velocity-dependent image structures that can be used to test three-dimensional hydrodynamical, radiative transfer models of the massive interacting winds of Eta Car.

description: Genomic phenotypes, such as DNA methylation and chromatin accessibility, can be used to characterize the transcriptional and regulatory activity of DNA within a cell. Recent technological advances have made it possible to measure such phenotypes very densely. This density often results in spatial structure, in the sense that measurements at nearby sites are very similar. In this paper, we consider the task of comparing genomic phenotypes across experimental conditions, cell types, or disease subgroups. We propose a new method, Joint Adaptive Differential Estimation (JADE), which leverages the spatial structure inherent to genomic phenotypes. JADE simultaneously estimates smooth underlying group average genomic phenotype profiles, and detects regions in which the average profile differs between groups. We evaluate JADE's performance in several biologically plausible simulation settings. We also consider an application to the detection of regions with differential methylation between mature skeletal muscle cells, myotubes and myoblasts.

description: Organic semiconductors find increasing importance in spin transport devices due to the modulation and control of their properties through chemical synthetic versatility. The organic materials are used as interlayers between two ferromagnet (FM) electrodes in organic spin valves (OSV), as well as for magnetic spin manipulation of metal-organic complexes at the molecular level. In the latter, specifically, the substrate-induced magnetic switching in a paramagnetic molecule has been evoked extensively, but studied by delicate surface spectroscopies. Here we present evidence of the substantial magnetic switching in a nanosized thin film of the paramagnetic molecule, tris(8-hydroxyquinoline)iron(III) (Feq3) deposited on a FM substrate, using the magnetoresistance response of electrical spin-injection in an OSV structure, and the inverse-spin-Hall effect induced by state-of-art pulsed microwave spin-pumping. We show that interfacial spin control at the molecular level may lead to a macroscopic organic spin transport device, thus, bridging the gap between organic spintronics and molecular spintronics.

description: We study various classical aspects of the Weyl transverse (WTDiff) gravity in a general space-time dimension. First of all, we clarify a classical equivalence among three kinds of gravitational theories, those are, the conformally-invariant scalar tensor gravity, Einstein's general relativity and the WTDiff gravity via the gauge fixing procedure. Secondly, we show that in the WTDiff gravity the cosmological constant is a mere integration constant as in unimodular gravity, but it does not receive any radiative corrections unlike the unimodular gravity. A key point in this proof is to construct a covariantly conserved energy-momentum tensor, which is achieved on the basis of this equivalence relation. Thirdly, we demonstrate that the Noether current for the Weyl transformation is identically vanishing, thereby implying that the Weyl symmetry existing in both the conformally-invariant scalar tensor gravity and the WTDiff gravity is a "fake" symmetry. We find it possible to extend this proof to all matter fields, i.e. the Weyl invariant scalar, vector and spinor fields. Fourthly, it is explicitly shown that in the WTDiff gravity the Schwarzshild black hole metric and a charged black hole one are classical solutions to the equations of motion only when they are expressed in the Cartesian coordinate system. Finally, we consider the Friedmann-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) cosmology and provide some exact solutions.

Using the affordances of weblogs to support a social-constructivist learning environment
Creators: name: Poole, William Bishop

Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: Weblogs are becoming an increasingly popular tool for creating socio-constructive learning environments. However, little is known regarding which aspects of the tool students consider most useful for achieving specific learning outcomes. In addition, there is little empirical evidence regarding the usefulness of weblogs for nurturing the establishment of a community of learners. This study examined a first semester university course in English literature. In this course the instructor used Internet-hosted weblogs in a blended course delivery strategy. In addition to traditional face-to-face instruction, the students were encouraged to teach each other in an online environment, where they shared their own creative writhing, and their critiques of the creative writing of others. Specifically, the study addressed the following research questions: 1. In what ways do weblogs influence the achievement of students' learning outcomes in creative writing and literary analysis? 2. How do students understand and employ the affordances offered by weblogs in achieving their learning outcomes? 3. Is there evidence that weblogs assist in the development and nurturing of communities of learners? Engeström's (1987) activity system was applied to the use of the weblogs to understand how this tool interacted with its social and technical environment to mediate the achievement of learning outcomes and the establishment and nurturing of communities of learners. Mixed research methods, both qualitative and quantitative, as well as multiple data sources were used to identify trends as they related to the students' use of specific weblog affordances. This study identifies six areas an instructor might consider when designing and implementing a course that incorporates a weblog learning environment and explores the effect particular pedagogical certain choices may have on the achievement of different learning outcomes. These six areas are the online hosting strategy, the size of any communities of learners, the task design and scaffolding, assessment strategies, the use and training of online tutors (including the instructor), and student training.

description: In this paper, we use singularity theory to study the entanglement nature of pure three-qutrit systems. We first consider the algebraic variety $X$ of separable three-qutrit states within the projective Hilbert space $\mathbb{P}(\mathcal{H}) = \mathbb{P}^{26}$. Given a quantum pure state $|φ\rangle\in \mathbb{P}(\mathcal{H})$ we define the $X_φ$-hypersuface by cutting $X$ with a hyperplane $H_φ$ defined by the linear form $\langleφ|$ (the $X_φ$-hypersurface of $X$ is $X\cap H_φ\subset X$). We prove that when $|φ\rangle$ ranges over the SLOCC entanglement classes, the "worst" possible singular $X_φ$-hypersuface with isolated singularities, has a unique singular point of type $D_4$.

description: In the present paper and the companion paper [9] a probabilistic (statistical-mechanical) approach to the construction of canonical metrics on a complex algebraic varieties X is introduced, by sampling "temperature deformed" determinantal point processes. The main new ingredient is a large deviation principle for Gibbs measures with singular Hamiltonians, which is proved in the present paper. As an application we show that the unique Kahler-Einstein metric with negative Ricci curvature on a canonically polarized algebraic manifold X emerges in the many particle limit of the canonical point processes on X. In the companion paper [9] the extension to algebraic varieties X with positive Kodaira dimension is given and a conjectural picture relating negative temperature states to the existence problem for Kahler-Einstein metrics with positive Ricci curvature is developed.

Automated bar detection in local disc galaxies from the SDSS - The colors of bars
Creators: name: Consolandi, Guido
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics of Galaxies (astro-ph.GA)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: This paper describes an automatic isophotal fitting procedure that succeeds, without the support of any visual inspection of neither the images nor the ellipticity/P.A. radial profiles, at extracting a fairly pure sample of barred LTGs among thousands of optical images from the SDSS. The procedure relies on the methods described in Consolandi et al. (2016) to robustly extract the photometrical properties of a large sample of local SDSS galaxies and is tailored to extract bars on the basis of their well-known peculiarities in their P.A. and ellipticity profiles. It has been run on a sample of 5853 galaxies in the Coma and Local supercluster. The procedure extracted for each galaxy a color, an ellipticity and a position angle radial profile of the ellipses fitted to the isophotes. Examining automatically the profiles of 922 face-on late-type galaxies (B/A >0.7) the procedure found that ~ 36 % are barred. The local bar fraction strongly increases with stellar mass. The sample of barred galaxies is used to construct a set of template radial color profiles in order to test the impact of the barred galaxy population on the average color profiles shown by Consolandi et al. (2016) and to test the bar-quenching scenario proposed in Gavazzi et al. (2015). The radial color profile of barred galaxy shows that bars are on average redder than their surrounding disk producing an outside-in gradient toward red in correspondence of their corotation radius. The distribution of the extension of the deprojected length of the bar suggests that bars have strong impacts on the gradients of averaged color profiles. The dependence of the profiles on the mass is consistent with the bar-quenching scenario, i.e. more massive barred galaxies have redder colors (hence older stellar population and suppressed star formation) inside their corotation radius with respect to their lower mass counterparts.

description: Optical complex materials offer unprecedented opportunity to engineer fundamental band dispersion which enables novel optoelectronic functionality and devices. Exploration of photonic Dirac cone at the center of momentum space has inspired an exceptional characteristic of zero-index, which is similar to zero effective mass in fermionic Dirac systems. Such all-dielectric zero-index photonic crystals provide an in-plane mechanism such that the energy of the propagating waves can be well confined along the chip direction. A straightforward example is to achieve the anomalous focusing effect without longitudinal spherical aberration, when the size of zero-index lens is large enough. Here, we designed and fabricated a prototype of zero-refractive-index lens by comprising large-area silicon nanopillar array with plane-concave profile. Near-zero refractive index was quantitatively measured near 1.55 um through anomalous focusing effect, predictable by effective medium theory. The zero-index lens was also demonstrated to perform ultralow longitudinal spherical aberration. Such IC compatible device provides a new route to integrate all-silicon zero-index materials into optical communication, sensing, and modulation, and to study fundamental physics on the emergent fields of topological photonics and valley photonics.

description: Counting the number of permutations of a given total displacement is equivalent to counting weighted Motzkin paths of a given area (Guay-Paquet and Petersen, 2014). The former combinatorial problem is still open. In this work, we show that this connection allows to construct efficient algorithms for counting and for sampling such permutations. These algorithms provide a tool to better understand the original combinatorial problem. A by-product of our approach is a different way of counting based on certain building sequences for Motzkin paths, which may be of independent interest.

Gender and subjective agency: transformations of Mulan in Chinese, Sinophone and transnational contexts
Creators: name: Liu, Yu-Chi
Publisher: name: Macquarie University

Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: The main objective of the research is to investigate gender representations of the crossdressing heroine in the Mulan retellings, produced in China and Sinophone regions, namely Hong Kong, Singapore and Taiwan, and in non-Sinophone regions, including the United States, Japan, France and Belgium. The thesis examines the Mulan texts, dating from the 10th century to the year 2009, in a variety of genres: poetry, novel, opera, spoken drama, film, picture book, comics, animation and television serials for both adult and child readers. The study situates the Mulan texts historically and contextually, and explores the transformation of gender images of Mulan in relation to Confucian values, modernity, diaspora, cultural consumption, and more importantly, to female subjective agency. Drawing upon Judith Butler's gender performance theory, this study also aims to investigate the extent to which the heroine is enabled to obtain agency through the instability of gender identities and whether the heroine can escape the Confucian metanarrative of the Mulan story particularly in the modern texts and transnational texts. (Un)surprisingly, the emancipation of the heroine is not in conformity with the feminist movements in modern time; there can be a significant backlash in the gender image of Mulan in some modern texts. Also, most of the transnational texts, though possibly influenced by a western feminist point of view, often adopt an Orientalist view of China and Chineseness, thereby constructing a seemingly subversive but in practice a traditional heroine. However, the most feminist retellings in comparison come from three picture books for young readers. The three feminist texts, one from Asian America, one from Taiwan, the other from China, suggest that the emancipation of the cross-dressing heroine in a patriarchal narrative is possible.

description: Heavy flavor and quarkona production are important hard probes to test the Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) and measure the properties of the Quark Gluon Plasma (QGP) created in high energy heavy ion collisions. The new PHENIX mid- and forward-rapidity silicon vertex detectors provide precise Distance of Closest Approach (DCA) determination, allowing charm and bottom yields identification, and improve di-muon mass resolution for charmonia studies. The relative $ψ(2S)$ over $J/ψ$(1S) yields measured in $p$+$p$, $p$+Al and $p$+Au data at $\sqrt{s}=$200 GeV help us to understand final state effects on the charmonia production. Direct access to B-meson production has been enabled via measurements of non-prompt $J/ψ\to μ^{+} + μ^{-}$ in $p$+$p$ collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 510$ GeV and Cu+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 200$ GeV. The fraction of B-meson decays in J/$ψ$ yields in the $p$+$p$ measurement agrees with higher energy results from Tevatron and LHC. This fraction is enhanced in Cu+Au collisions suggesting the B-meson yield is not modified by the medium whereas J/$ψ$ is strongly suppressed.
