Minority spin dynamics in non-homogeneous Ising model: diverging timescales and exponents
Creators: name: Mullick, Pratik

Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)

description: We investigate the dynamical behaviour of the Ising model under a zero temperature quench with the initial fraction of up spins $0\leq x\leq 1$. In one dimension, the known results for persistence probability are verified; it shows algebraic decay for both up and down spins asymptotically with different exponents. It is found that the conventional finite size scaling is valid here. In two dimensions however, the persistence probabilities are no longer algebraic; in particular for $x\leq 0.5$, persistence for the up (minority) spins shows the behaviour $P_{min}(t) \sim t^{-γ}\exp(-(t/τ)^δ)$ with time $t$, while for the down (majority) spins, $P_{maj}(t)$ approaches a finite value. We find that the timescale $τ$ diverges as $(x_c-x)^{- λ}$, where $x_c=0.5$ and $λ\simeq2.31$. The exponent $γ$ varies as $θ_{2d}+c_0(x_c-x)^β$ where $θ_{2d}\simeq0.215$ is very close to the persistence exponent in two dimensions; $β\simeq1$. The results in two dimensions can be understood qualitatively by studying the exit probability, which for different system size is found to have the form $E(x) = f\big[(\frac{x-x_c}{x_c})L^{1/ν}\big]$, with $ν\approx 1.47$. This result suggests that $τ\sim L^{\tilde{z}}$, where $\tilde{z} = \fracλν = 1.57 \pm 0.11$ is an exponent not explored earlier.
description: The results presented in this paper have been later improved by generating new data especially closer to x = 0.5. A re-analysis of the scaling collapse leads to the value 1.269 for $\nu$. The estimate of $\tilde{z}$ using this value is $\simeq$ 1.82. Hence it can not be strongly stated that $\tilde{z}$ is different from 2
Socio-Economic Analysis of Cost and Returns of Yam Production Among Small Holder Farmers in Delta State, Nigeria

Publisher: name: gjrpublication
Year: 2024

description: The study investigated socio-economic analysis of costs and returns of yam production among small holder farmers in Delta State, Nigeria. Multistage, purposive and simple random sampling techniques were used to select 120 respondents for the study. Well structured questionnaires were used to obtain data. Out of the 120 questionnaires administered, one questionnaire was rejected due to unacceptable errors. Descriptive statistics and net farm income were used in analyzing the data. Results revealed that majority (75.6%) were males, 45.4% were within the age range of 26 years and 35 years, 68.9% were married, 37.8% had 6 - 10 years of farming experience and the majority (42.9%) of the respondents had secondary school education. Out of the 15 variables investigated as regards to the determinants of yam production in Delta State, only seven (7) variables were found to be statistically related to the factors influencing the determinants of yam production in the study area. Those variables were family size (p<0.009), farming experience (p<0.000), income (p<0.000), educational level (p<0.000), access to credit (0.003), farm size (p<0.001) and age (p<0.000). The enterprise was profitable based on the positive values of gross margin (₦3,502,575), net farm income (₦2,904,575) and net return on investment (₦1.53k). This implies that yam production is a profitable enterprise in the study area since RNI was greater than one. The constraints were; high cost of labour, pests/disease attack, low knowledge of improved yam, poor extension services, inadequate finance, poor road network and high cost of local seed respectively. The paper therefore, recommends that farmers should be encouraged to join cooperative society in order to pool their resources together to take advantage of economies of scale purchase, thereby reducing cost of production.

description: Human paraoxonase 2 (PON2), which is a member of the paraoxonase family, possesses unique properties that distinguish it from PON1 and PON3. PON2 is ubiquitously expressed in many different tissue types and is highly expressed in the vital organs, such as the heart and lungs. Early research revealed that PON2 is exclusively intracellularly found, wherein it functions as an anti-oxidative protein by reducing intracellular and local oxidative stress. Studies in the last five years have demonstrated that PON2 protects against atherosclerosis by preventing low-density lipoprotein (LDL) oxidation, reversing the oxidation of mildly oxidised LDL, inhibiting monocyte chemotaxis, and increasing cholesterol efflux. Recently, emerging evidence has proposed that PON2 is an anti-atherosclerotic and may be associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD). The number of investigations concerning the relationship between two common PON2 polymorphisms and CVD among different ethnic groups and regions is rapidly growing. Here, we briefly review the developments in PON2 research by focusing on past and recent findings.

Rigidity of Free Boundary Surfaces in Compact 3-Manifolds with Strictly Convex Boundary

Subjects: subject: Differential Geometry (math.DG)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: In this paper we obtain an analogue of Toponogov theorem in dimension 3 for compact manifolds $M^3$ with nonnegative Ricci curvature and strictly convex boundary $\partial M$. Here we obtain a sharp upper bound for the length $L(\partialΣ)$ of the boundary $\partialΣ$ of a free boundary minimal surface $Σ^2$ in $M^3$ in terms of the genus of $Σ$ and the number of connected components of $\partialΣ$, assuming $Σ$ has index one. After, under a natural hypothesis on the geometry of $M$ along $\partial M$, we prove that if $L(\partialΣ)$ saturates the respective upper bound, then $M^3$ is isometric to the Euclidean 3-ball and $Σ^2$ is isometric to the Euclidean disk. In particular, we get a sharp upper bound for the area of $Σ$, when $M^3$ is a strictly convex body in $\mathbb R^3$, which is saturated only on the Euclidean 3-balls (by the Euclidean disks). We also consider similar results for stationary stable surfaces.

Constraints on the optical depth of galaxy groups and clusters

description: Future data from galaxy redshift surveys, combined with high-resolutions maps of the cosmic microwave background, will enable measurements of the pairwise kinematic Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (kSZ) signal with unprecedented statistical significance. This signal probes the matter-velocity correlation function, scaled by the average optical depth ($τ$) of the galaxy groups and clusters in the sample, and is thus of fundamental importance for cosmology. However, in order to translate pairwise kSZ measurements into cosmological constraints, external constraints on $τ$ are necessary. In this work, we present a new model for the intra-cluster medium, which takes into account star-formation, feedback, non-thermal pressure, and gas cooling. Our semi-analytic model is computationally efficient and can reproduce results of recent hydrodynamical simulations of galaxy cluster formation. By calibrating the model using recent X-ray measurements of gas density profiles of clusters and $M_{\mathrm{gas}}-M$ relations of groups and clusters, we show that the integrated $τ$ is constrained to better than 6% (with a confidence level of 95%), which sets the tightest constraints on the external prior on the optical depth of groups and clusters reported in the literature to date. Our strong prior on $τ$ should significantly improve cosmological constraints derived from future pairwise kSZ measurements and shed new insights into the nature of dark energy, modified gravity, and neutrino mass.

description: Laser-based searches of the yet unobserved vacuum birefringence might be sensitive for very light hypothetical particles carrying a tiny fraction of the electron charge. We show that, with the help of contemporary techniques, polarimetric investigations driven by an optical laser pulse of moderate intensity might allow for excluding regions of the parameter space of these particle candidates which have not been discarded so far by laboratory measurement data. Particular attention is paid to the role of a Gaussian wave profile. It is argued that, at energy regimes in which the vacuum becomes dichroic due to these minicharges, the transmission probability of a probe beam through an analyzer set crossed to the initial polarization direction will depend on both the induced ellipticity as well as the rotation of the initial polarization plane. The weak and strong field regimes, relative to the attributes of these minicharged particles, and the relevance of the polarization of the strong field are investigated.

description: Multi-Weyl semimetals are new types of Weyl semimetals which have anisotropic non-linear energy dispersion and a topological charge larger than one, thus exhibiting a unique quantum response. Using a unified lattice model, we calculate the optical conductivity numerically in the multi-Weyl semimetal phase and in its neighboring gapped states, and obtain the characteristic frequency dependence of each phase analytically using a low-energy continuum model. The frequency dependence of longitudinal and transverse optical conductivities obeys scaling relations that are derived from the winding number of the parent multi-Weyl semimetal phase and can be used to distinguish these electronic states of matter.

Universal Method to Estimate Quantum Coherence

Publisher: name: arXiv

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

description: Coherence is a defining property of quantum theory that accounts for quantum advantage in many quantum information tasks. Although many coherence quantifiers have been introduced in various contexts, the lack of efficient methods to estimate them restricts their applications. In this paper, we tackle this problem by proposing one universal method to provide measurable bounds for most current coherence quantifiers. Our method is motivated by the observation that the distance between the state of interest and its diagonal parts in reference basis, which lies at the heart of the coherence quantifications, can be readily estimated by disturbance effect and uncertainty of the reference measurement. Thus, our method of bounding coherence provides a feasible and broadly applicable avenue for detecting coherence, facilitating its further practical applications.

description: Chemically or optically powered active matter plays an increasingly important role in materials design but its computational potential has yet to be explored systematically. The competition between energy consumption and dissipation imposes stringent physical constraints on the information transport in active flow networks, facilitating global optimization strategies that are not well understood. Here, we combine insights from recent microbial experiments with concepts from lattice-field theory and non-equilibrium statistical mechanics to introduce a generic theoretical framework for active matter logic (AML). Highlighting conceptual differences with classical and quantum computation, we demonstrate how the inherent non-locality of incompressible active flow networks can be utilized to construct universal logical operations, Fredkin gates and memory storage in SR latches through the synchronized self-organization of many individual network components. Our work lays the conceptual foundation for developing autonomous microfluidic transport devices driven by bacterial fluids, active liquid crystals or chemically engineered motile colloids.

description: We revisit the inflationary dynamics in detail for theories with Gauss-Bonnet gravity coupled to scalar functions, in light of the Planck data. Considering the chaotic inflationary scenario, we constrain the parameters of two models involving inflaton-Gauss-Bonnet coupling by current Planck data. For non zero inflaton-Gauss-Bonnet coupling $β$, an inflationary analysis provides us a big cosmologically viable region in the space of $(m,β)$, where $m$ is the mass of inflaton. However, we study further on constraining $β$ arising from reheating considerations and unitarity of tree-level amplitude involving we have studied the constraints on $β$ arising from reheating considerations and unitarity of tree level amplitude involving $2$ graviton $\rightarrow 2$ graviton ($h h\rightarrow hh$) scattering. Our analysis, particularly on reheating significantly reduces the parameter space of $(m,β)$ for all models. he quadratic Gauss-Bonnet coupling parameter turns out to be more strongly constrained than that of the linear coupling. For the linear Gauss-Bonnet coupling function, we obtain $β\lesssim 10^3$, with the condition $β(m/M_P)^2 \simeq 10^{-4}$. However, study of the Higgs inflation scenario in the presence of Gauss-Bonnet term turned out to be strongly disfavored.

description: Correlated Equilibrium is a solution concept that is more general than Nash Equilibrium (NE) and can lead to outcomes with better social welfare. However, its natural extension to the sequential setting, the \textit{Extensive Form Correlated Equilibrium} (EFCE), requires a quadratic amount of space to solve, even in restricted settings without randomness in nature. To alleviate these concerns, we apply \textit{subgame resolving}, a technique extremely successful in finding NE in zero-sum games to solving general-sum EFCEs. Subgame resolving refines a correlation plan in an \textit{online} manner: instead of solving for the full game upfront, it only solves for strategies in subgames that are reached in actual play, resulting in significant computational gains. In this paper, we (i) lay out the foundations to quantify the quality of a refined strategy, in terms of the \textit{social welfare} and \textit{exploitability} of correlation plans, (ii) show that EFCEs possess a sufficient amount of independence between subgames to perform resolving efficiently, and (iii) provide two algorithms for resolving, one using linear programming and the other based on regret minimization. Both methods guarantee \textit{safety}, i.e., they will never be counterproductive. Our methods are the first time an online method has been applied to the correlated, general-sum setting.

description: Quantum spin Hall insulators (QSHIs), also known as two-dimensional topological insulators, have emerged as an unconventional class of quantum states with insulating bulk and conducting edges originating from nontrivial inverted band structures, and have been proposed as a platform for exploring spintronics applications and exotic quasiparticles related to the spin-helical edge modes. Despite theoretical proposals for various materials, however, experimental demonstrations of QSHIs have so far been limited to two systems--HgTe/CdTe and InAs/GaSb--both of which are lattice-matched semiconductor heterostructures. Here we report transport measurements in yet another realization of a band-inverted heterostructure as a QSHI candidate--InAs/In$_{x}$Ga$_{1-x}$Sb with lattice mismatch. We show that the compressive strain in the In$_{x}$Ga$_{1-x}$Sb layer enhances the band overlap and energy gap. Consequently, high bulk resistivity, two orders of magnitude higher than for InAs/GaSb, is obtained deep in the band-inverted regime. The strain also enhances bulk Rashba spin-orbit splitting, leading to an unusual situation where the Fermi level crosses only one spin branch for electronlike and holelike bands over a wide density range. These properties make this system a promising platform for robust QSHIs with unique spin properties and demonstrate strain to be an important ingredient for tuning spin-orbit interaction.

description: We use idealized 3D hydrodynamic simulations to study the dynamics and thermal structure of the circumgalactic medium (CGM). Our simulations quantify the role of cooling, stellar feedback driven galactic winds and cosmological gas accretion in setting the properties of the CGM in dark matter haloes ranging from $10^{11}$ to $10^{12}$ M$_\odot$. Our simulations support a conceptual picture in which the properties of the CGM, and the key physics governing it, change markedly near a critical halo mass of M$_{\rm crit} \approx 10^{11.5}$ M$_\odot$. As in calculations without stellar feedback, above M$_{\rm crit}$ halo gas is supported by thermal pressure created in the virial shock. The thermal properties at small radii are regulated by feedback triggered when $t_{\rm cool}/t_{\rm ff}\lesssim10$ in the hot gas. Below M$_{\rm crit}$, however, there is no thermally supported halo and self-regulation at $t_{\rm cool}/t_{\rm ff}\sim10$ does not apply. Instead, the gas is out of hydrostatic equilibrium and largely supported against gravity by bulk flows (turbulence and coherent inflow/outflow) arising from the interaction between cosmological gas inflow and outflowing galactic winds. In these lower mass haloes, the phase structure depends sensitively on the outflows' energy per unit mass and mass-loading, which may allow measurements of the CGM thermal state to constrain the nature of galactic winds. Our simulations account for some of the properties of the multiphase halo gas inferred from quasar absorption line observations, including the presence of significant mass at a wide range of temperatures, and the characteristic OVI and CIV column densities and kinematics. However, we underpredict the neutral hydrogen content of the $z\sim0$ CGM.

description: Of late, there has been an upsurge of interest in studying the sequential sharing of various forms of quantum correlations, viz., nonlocality, preparation contextuality, coherence, and entanglement. In this work, we explore the sequential sharing of nonlocality in a quantum network. We first consider the simplest case of the two-input bilocality scenario that features two independent sources and three parties, including two edge parties and a central party. We demonstrate that in the symmetric case when the sharing is considered for both the edge parties, the nonlocality can be shared by at most two sequential observers per edge party. However, in the asymmetric case, when the sharing across one edge party is considered, we show that at most, six sequential observers can share the nonlocality in the network. We extend our investigation to the two-input $n$-local scenario in the star-network configuration that features an arbitrary $n$ number of edge parties and one central party. In the asymmetric case, we demonstrate that the network nonlocality can be shared by an unbounded number of sequential observers across one edge party for a suitably large value of $n$. Further, we generalize our study for an arbitrary $m$ input $n$-local scenario in the star-network configuration. We show that even for an arbitrary $m$ input scenario, the nonlocality can be shared by an unbounded number of sequential observers. However, increasing the input $m$, one has to employ more number of edge parties $n$ than that of the two-input case to demonstrate the sharing of an unbounded number of sequential observers.

Gabriela Simonetti-Grez” (CPGG).
Original reference: First record of this species for the Isla Riesco.
Comments: This species is distributed in Chile between Coyhaique and Magallanes provinces. It is also known to have been recorded in Argentina (González 2006).
Summary: There are no endemic species of Coccinellidae in Isla Riesco, while the few existing species have wide distribution on the Magallanes region, extending even to the further south latitudes of Chile and Argentina. Due to the extension and climatic variability of the island, it is possible that many of the species from the provinces of Última Esperanza and Magallanes would also be present.

Generalized $n$-locality inequalities in linear-chain network for arbitrary inputs scenario and their quantum violations

description: Multipartite nonlocality in a network is conceptually different from standard multipartite Bell nonlocality. In recent times, network nonlocality has been studied for various topologies. We consider a linear-chain topology of the network and demonstrate the quantum nonlocality (the non-$n$-locality). Such a network scenario involves $n$ number of independent sources and $n+1$ parties, two edge parties (Alice and Charlie), and $n-1$ central parties (Bobs). It is commonly assumed that each party receives only two inputs. In this work, we consider a generalized scenario where the edge parties receive an arbitrary $n$ number of inputs (equals to a number of independent sources), and each of the central parties receives two inputs. We derive a family of generalized $n$-locality inequalities for a linear-chain network for arbitrary $n$ and demonstrate the optimal quantum violation of the inequalities. We introduce an elegant sum-of-squares approach enabling the derivation of the optimal quantum violation of aforesaid inequalities \emph{without} assuming the dimension of the system. We show that the optimal quantum violation requires the observables of edge parties to mutually anticommuting. For $n=2$ and $3$, the optimal quantum violation can be obtained when each edge party shares a two-qubit entangled state with central parties. We further argue that for $n\geq 2$, a single copy of a two-qubit-entangled state may not be enough to exhibit the violation of $n$-locality inequality, but multiple copies of it can activate the quantum violation.

description: Fossils of Cretaceous sea turtles adapted to an open marine lifestyle remain rare finds to date. Furthermore, the relationships between extant sea turtles, chelonioids, and other Mesozoic marine turtles are still contested, with one key species being Santanachelys gaffneyi Hirayama, 1998, long considered the earliest true sea turtle. The species is an Early Cretaceous member of Protostegidae, a controversial clade either placed within or closely related to Chelonioidea or, alternatively, along the stem lineage of hidden-neck turtles (Cryptodira) and representing an independent open marine radiation. Santanachelys gaffneyi is one of the most completely preserved early protostegids and is therefore critical for establishing the global phylogenetic position of the group. However, the single known specimen of this taxon is yet to be described in detail. Here we describe a second specimen of Santanachelys gaffneyi from its type horizon, the Romualdo Formation (late Aptian) of the Santana Group of the Araripe basin, NE Brazil. The skeletal elements preserved include the posterior part of the skull, neck vertebrae, shoulder girdle, anterior-most and left/central part of the carapace with few peripherals, and plastron lacking most of the hyoplastra. The remaining part of the carapace was apparently completed by fossil dealers using an anterior part of the pleurodiran Araripemydidae, tentatively identified as a shell portion of cf. Araripemys barretoi, a more common Santana fossil turtle, among other indeterminate turtle shell fragments. The purpose of this paper is to report the repatriation of the specimen to Brazil and to provide a preliminary description.

description: In this article, we present a bouncing cosmology inspired by a family of regular black holes. This scale-dependent cosmology deviates from the cosmological principle by means of a scale factor which depends on the time and the radial coordinate as well. The model is isotropic but not perfectly homogeneous. That is, this cosmology describes a universe almost homogeneous only for large scales, such as our observable universe.
