The Raman spectrum of N2 isolated in an argon matrix at 4.2[...]K was obtained using single photon counting techniques and a CW argon ion laser. Attempts at measuring the vibrational relaxation (VR) time for N2 were made by monitoring the Raman intensity from upper vibrational levels as a function of time. Stimulating the Raman process using a rhodamine 6G jet stream dye laser tuned to the Stoke's frequency while simultaneously irradiating with the argon ion laser, was also attempted in an effort to improve Raman intensity. Although an accurate measurement of the VR time awaits a more efficient excitation process (or a more powerful laser), our results indicate a VR time as long as a few minutes is possible for N2 in this environment.

description: We study nonequilibrium thermodynamics of complex information flows induced by interactions between multiple fluctuating systems. Characterizing nonequilibrium dynamics by causal networks (i.e., Bayesian networks), we obtain novel generalizations of the second law of thermodynamics and the fluctuation theorem, which include an informational quantity characterized by the topology of the causal network. Our result implies that the entropy production in a single system in the presence of multiple other systems is bounded by the information flow between these systems. We demonstrate our general result by a simple model of biochemical adaptation.

An experimental investigation of heat transfer rates on a blunt body in hypersonic flow
Creators: name: Richards, Homer K.
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 1957
Subjects: Aeronautics

description: An experimental investigation was made in the GALCIT hypersonic wind tunnel, leg number 1, at a nominal Mach number of 5.8 to determine the heat transfer rate and temperature distributions on a water-cooled, ellipsoid-cone at angles of yaw of 0, 4 and 8 degrees, respectively. The Reynolds number per inch based on free stream conditions was [...].

The experimental means employed was a steady-state technique developed by Mr. F. W. Hartwig at GALCIT during the past several years. This technique utilizes a heat transducer or heat meter of very small size. The primary advantage of this method is that it obviates the necessity of correcting for axial temperature gradients in the model.

Surface pressure distributions were also studied on a model of identical geometry for angles of yaw of 0, 4, 8 and 12 degrees, respectively. The primary interest here was to obtain data necessary for the theoretical calculation of the heat transfer rate distributions using laminar flow theory.

The investigation showed that the heat meters were very reliable. The data obtained from independent wind tunnel runs were repeatable within [plus or minus] 1.5 per cent. It was found that the local heat transfer rate and the local pressure coefficient vary linearly with angle of yaw. The agreement of the experimentally determined stagnation heat transfer rate and the theoretically calculated one was good. Further refinement of the calibration technique appears to be the logical direction of effort for subsequent investigators.

description: As direct and indirect dark matter detection experiments continue to place stringent constraints on WIMP masses and couplings, it becomes imperative to expand the scope of the search for particle dark matter by looking in new and exotic places. One such place may be the core of active galactic nuclei where the density of dark matter is expected to be extremely high. Recently, several groups have explored the possibility of observing signals of dark matter from its interactions with the high-energy jets emanating from these galaxies. In this work, we build upon these analyses by including the other components of the WIMP-induced gamma ray spectrum of active galactic nuclei; namely, (1) the continuum from WIMP annihilation into light standard model states which subsequently radiate and/or decay into photons and (2) the direct (loop-induced) decay into photons. We work in the context of models of universal extra dimensions (in particular, a model with two extra dimensions) and compute all three components of the gamma ray spectrum and compare with current data. We find that the model with two extra dimensions exhibits several interesting features which may be observable with the Fermi gamma ray telescope. We also show that, in conjunction with other measurements, the gamma ray spectrum from AGN can be an invaluable tool for restricting WIMP parameter space.

description: Geology of a Section of the Palos Verdes Sea Coast:

The area in which this work was done is located in the San Pedro Hills Quadrangle. It can be reached by following the Roosevelt Highway south from Redondo, California, then following the branch off this highway along the coast. The area begins about one eight mile south of San Vicente Lighthouse at Long Point, extends southeast for a little over four miles along the coast.

The area includes the sea cliffs along the ocean. It does not constitute a true area because no extension back from the coast was studied.

The area was investigated on foot, there being only two places accessible by car, one at Abalone Cove and the other at Portuguese Bend.

Geology of a Portion of the Adelanto Hills:

The Adelanto Hills are a low range of folded limestone hills, situated about five miles northwest of Adelanto, California.  The limestone is a dark blue, finely crystalline banded type, which has been hydrothermally altered in places to a white crystalline limestone, or to a fine-grained, highly altered brown limestone.  The alteration is indistinctly associated with faulting and minor intrusions in the area.  The main igneous body in the area is a large granodiorite body that apparently has been faulted into its present position.  A complementary association of a fine-grained dark intrusion and numerous pegmatite dikes occur in the northwestern part of the area.  Several large, light colored acidic dikes intrude the limestone, and their relationships to the other intrusions cannot be determined.  The area is cut by a large fault tending N65 W and by numerous smaller faults trending about N20 W.  The structure on either side of the main fault is roughly parallel.  Mineralization of the area is mainly a contact-metamorphic type, containing lead, zinc, and silver.  Considerable oxidation in the area has occurred, resulting in some secondary enrichment, especially of silver.  Some scheelite is mined at the present time from a contact zone between porphyry and limestone.

description: The outcomes of tourism development are both a matter of profound inducement and deeper concern to not only the stakeholders but also to the general population owing to the intense impacts of far-reaching consequences it precipitates over a period of time in the destinations. The future of many a tourism destination is heavily dependent on highly responsible game changing practices that can reduce poverty, offset adverse ecological impacts, and enhance quality of living of local communities. In this backdrop, destinations across the globe have welcomed the widely acclaimed responsible tourism initiatives that have gained immense traction mainly due to the sustainable propositions. The approaches are well-laid out delineating the roles and responsibilities of each and every stakeholder involved, either directly or indirectly. Responsible tourism practices are part and parcel of the alternative forms of tourism. The tangible and intangible advantages propped-up by responsible tourism comprises among other novel ventures and experiences; knowledge sharing, increased urge for experimentation, social stability, peoples’ empowerment, cultural revival, and sustainable environmental management. This paper analyses the socio-economic and environmental responsibility perspectives vis-à-vis the model initiatives in vogue in Africa which can be adopted in some of the Indian destinations keeping in view the parity and similarities. Furthermore, the scope of this work encompasses the efficacy of such programmes mooted in Reserves, Parks, and other tourism centres in Africa as part of the responsible tourism agenda namely capacity building, water management, organic farming, renewable energy mechanisms, innovative design and planning, resource management, restoration and conservation efforts, scientific research, waste management, habitat protection, environmental education, and landscaping, that can add teeth to the efforts taken by the destination planners in India. The challenges that pose impediments in the path of idealistic tourism promotion like museumisation of culture are also dealt with in this work.

Turbulence Induced Collision Velocities and Rates between Different Sized Dust Grains

Subjects: subject: Earth and Planetary Astrophysics (astro-ph.EP)

description: We study the collision rates and velocities for point-particles of different sizes in turbulent flows. We construct fits for the collision rates at specified velocities (effectively a collisional velocity probability distribution) for particle stopping time ratios up to four; already by that point the collisional partners are very poorly correlated and so the results should be robust for even larger stopping time ratios. Significantly, we find that while particles of very different masses have approximately Maxwellian collisional statistics, as the mass ratio shrinks the distribution changes dramatically. At small stopping time ratios, the collisional partners are highly correlated and we find a population of high number density (clustered), low relative-velocity particle pairs. Unlike in the case of identical stopping time collisional partners, this low relative-velocity clustered population is collisional, but the clustering is barely adequate to trigger bulk effects such as the streaming instability. We conclude our analysis by constructing a master fit to the collisional statistics as a function only of the stopping time ratio. Together with our previous work for identical stopping time particle pairs, this provides a recipe for including collisional velocity probability distributions in dust coagulation models for protoplanetary disks. We also include our recipe for determining particle collisional diagnostics from numerical simulations.

Stress, Distribution in Two Circular Cylinders Intersecting at Right Angles Under the Influence of Internal Pressure

Aeronautical engineering

description: This investigation is an experimental study of the stress distribution in two circular cylinders intersecting at right angles and acted on by internal pressure.  Two specimens of the thick-wall category were tested to rupture and a strain gage analysis was made of critical points.  The specifications of the specimens tested were so chosen that this investigation would be the logical beginning of an overall study of intersecting cylinders under the influence of internal pressure.

The results of two tests are insufficient to indicate trends or establish facts as conclusive.  The conclusions reached as a result of this investigation are, therefore, of such a nature as to require confirmation by subsequent continuation of this study.  These conclusions are:

1. The maximum stresses present in specimens of the type tested are in the plans of intersection and tangent to the ellipse of intersection at a point approximately fifteen degrees from the crotch.

2. Additional resistance to the high stresses at the plans of intersection is necessary over that required in the wall of a straight pipe.

3. Bending associated with the stressing of this type of intersection by the application of internal pressure is of minor importance in specimens in the thick wall range.

All the tests were made in collaboration with Lieutenant Commander Vernon E. Teig, U.S. Navy in the Structures Laboratory, Guggenheim Aeronautical Laboratory, California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, California, during the school year 1948-1949.

Contributions to the glaciology of the Seward Ice Field, Canada, and the Malaspina Glacier, Alaska
Creators: name: Leighton, Freeman Beach
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 1949
Subjects: subject: Geology
subject: FOS: Earth and related environmental sciences

description: Certain phenomena of the Seward Ice Field and the Malspina Glacier as observed in the summer of 1948 are interpreted in the light of glaciologic literature.

Inferences on glacier regimen are drawn from accumulation and ablation measurements. The efficacy of the ablation  factors is discussed and analogies are deduced by comparing ablation and meteorological data with those collected by Scandinavian glaciologists on the Vatnajokull,
Iceland. The meteorological factors play an overwhelmingly important part in ablation on the ma1uspina Glacier and probably retain their advantage over radiation at a higher elevation on the Seward Ice Field.

Distinctions are made between indirect, internal, net end gross ablation. The formation of a glacier water table, and the incidence and dissipation of the winter cold wave on the Seward are discussed.

Two contrasting types of differential melt-depressions were noted on the Seward, inclined underwater ice wells and vertical wells not under water. Previous theories of ice- well formation are critically analyzed. The deepening of the ice wells beyond the depth at which the depression is shaded from the sun is believed to be produced by diffuse radiation, with reflected direct radiation playing a minor role. Experiments with artificial ice blocks attest to the
importance of vertical gravity settling of debris in ice wells and fail to account for the inclination of the underwater ice wells.

Melt-water movement studies were undertaken during a period in July and August. The quantities of melt-water percolating through the firn were measured at various depths and are compared to the ablation record, the meteorological record, and to the time of day in this paper. There is little correlation between the daily melt-water record and the daily sunshine and ablation records. Air temperature is the most significant index of melt-water production.  However, the average maximum temperature was reached between 11 and 12 A.M and the average hourly maximum melt-water collected was recorded between 5 and 6 P.M. The fact that the upper firm layers produced less water than deeper firn layers is evidently due to the greater capillary flow and less concentration of melt-water in the upper firn.

description: We present the theory of a supersymmetric ghost condensate coupled to N=1 supergravity. This is accomplished using a general formalism for constructing locally supersymmetric higher-derivative chiral superfield actions. The theory admits a ghost condensate vacuum in de Sitter spacetime. Expanded around this vacuum, the scalar sector of the theory is shown to be ghost-free with no spatial gradient instabilities. By direct calculation, the fermion sector is found to consist of a massless chiral fermion and a massless gravitino. By analyzing the supersymmetry transformations, we find that the chiral fermion transforms inhomogeneously, indicating that the ghost condensate vacuum spontaneously breaks local supersymmetry with this field as the Goldstone fermion. Although potentially able to get a mass through the super-Higgs effect, the vanishing superpotential in the ghost condensate theory renders the gravitino massless. Thus local supersymmetry is broken without the super-Higgs effect taking place. This is in agreement with, and gives an explanation for, the direct calculation.

description: Landauer's principle states that the erasure of information must be a dissipative process. In this paper, we carefully analyze the recording and erasure of information on a physical memory. On the one hand, we show that in order to record some information, the memory has to be driven out of equilibrium. On the other hand, we derive a differential version of Landauer's principle: We link the rate at which entropy is produced at every time of the erasure process to the rate at which information is erased.

The thermal Rayleigh problem in perfect and ionized gases
Creators: name: Navarro-Cantero, Carlos
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 1967
Subjects: Aeronautics

description: The problem of a heated gas at rest in contact with a cold wall has applications in shock tubes when a shock wave reflects at the end wall. A boundary layer arises that can be solved for constant conditions outside the boundary layer. In this paper, this condition is relaxed and the gas is permitted to undergo variations of pressure.

The equation has been derived for the boundary layer under those conditions, and a similarity solution was found for isentropic variations of a perfect gas outside the boundary layer. This solution is only valid for a temperature of the gas much greater than the temperature of the wall, unless the latter would follow a determined variation with time. Two cases were studied; one with thermal conductivity of the gas proportional to a power of the temperature, and the other with conductivity proportional to temperature. In the first case, an integral method has to be used, which gives an excellent approximation. For the second case, the solution is worked out either by similarity procedures or by series expansions.

Heat transfer and temperature in the boundary layer are seen to depend on the pressure, which acts like a weighting factor on time.

For ionized gases, two cases were considered; frozen and equilibrium flow. Similarity solutions do not exist for variable pressure outside the boundary layer unless the variations of pressure with time are small enough. In this case, pressure acts again like a weighting factor on time, although the variations outside the boundary layer cannot be assumed isentropic anymore. At the same time, new equations for the equilibrium boundary layer were derived, in which the excited state of ions and atoms is taken into account.

The effect of the weighting factor of the pressure is applied to explain the experimental results obtained at the end wall of a shock tube, giving explanation to certain differences between experiment and theory.

Then we adapt the circuit model of symmetrical PCs for the case of asymmetrical PCs. The circuit model shows how the slope of field distribution is changed by rotating the asymmetrical PCs and illustrates that the asymmetrical PCs have the same effect as the symmetrical ones in stabilization.

We put forth some ideas on how to extend the failure criterion of the above restricted case to a more general one of multidirectional composites.
The failure criterion proposed is based on an energy argument similar to that proposed by Griffith for isotropic solids. For the purpose of stress analysis the material under consideration is assumed to be homogeneous and orthotropic. Lekhnitskii's complex variable method
of stress analysis of the two dimensional elasticity problems for anisotropic bodies is used in the theoretical investigation.

description: The recent growth in oil production from offshore flelds has stimulated demand for improvements in the analysis and prediction of foundation pile behavior. The traditional, empirical means of determining pile behavior under load, on-site load testing, is prohibitively expensive offshore. Moreover, extrapolation from experience with pile performance on land is liable to significant error, both because of the relatively diverse load-bearing requirements placed on piles by ocean structures, and the great size of these piles. Several classes of modeling and analytical techniques which have received extensive attention in the geotechnical literature of the past decade are described and evaluated.

Pile load tests in the fleld have been simulated using centrifugal modeling. Procedures and results are reported of six load tests on cylindrical steel piles embedded to depths ranging from 54 to 183 feet in dry and saturated sand and saturated silt soils. The strain gauge-instrumented piles were subjected to extensive sequences of axial loading, including loading to bearing capacity failure and cyclic loading. Graphs showing the distribution of axial force in the pile were produced for all tests, and soil-pile interaction was interpreted by means of "t-z diagrams", i.e., graphs of soil-pile shear stress versus pile axial displacement at particular depths along the pile. The accuracy of the model test results is assessed by comparing them with the published results of a matching full-scale test.

The work demonstrates the feasibility of using centrifugal modeling to investigate the behavior of large piles under a broad range of axial loadings.

description: This review provides an in-depth analysis of Tumor Treating Fields (TTFields) in the management of high-grade gliomas, specifically glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). TTFields, a non-invasive therapeutic modality, have gained recognition for their role in disrupting mitosis through the application of alternating electric fields. The EF-14 clinical trial demonstrated that combining TTFields with temozolomide significantly improved progression-free and overall survival in glioblastoma patients. This review summarizes current evidence, evaluates the mechanism of action, discusses clinical applications, and addresses the challenges of implementing TTFields, including patient compliance and cost. Furthermore, it explores future research directions in combining TTFields with novel therapies, improving device technology, and expanding the treatment's applicability to other cancer types.

description: Residual symmetry $G_ν$ of neutrino mass matrix with a massless neutrino and embedding of $G_ν$ and the residual symmetry $G_l$ of the charged lepton mass matrix into finite discrete groups $G$ is discussed. Massless neutrino results if $G_ν$ and hence $G$ are subgroups of $U(3)$ rather than of $SU(3)$. Structure of the resulting leptonic mixing matrix $U_{PMNS}$ is discussed in three specific examples based on groups (a) $Σ(3N^3)$, (b) $Σ(2N^2)$ and (c) $S_4(2) \equiv A_4\rtimes Z_4$. $Σ(3N^3)$ groups are able to reproduce either the second or the third column of $U_{PMNS}$ correctly. $Σ(2N^2)$ groups lead to prediction $θ_{13}=0$, $θ_{23}=\fracπ{4}$ for the reactor and atmospheric mixing angles respectively if neutrino mass hierarchy is inverted. Solar angle remains undetermined in this case. This also gets determined when $G=S_4(2)$ which can give bi-maximal mixing for inverted hierarchy. Examples (b) and (c) provide a good zeroth order approximation to realistic leptonic mixing with a massless neutrino. We also present an example of the specific model based on $S_4(2)$ symmetry in which a massless neutrino and viable leptonic mixing angles are obtained.

description: Many different classes of X-ray sources contribute to the Galactic landscape at high energies. Although the nature of the most luminous X-ray emitters is now fairly well understood, the population of low-to-medium X-ray luminosity (Lx = 10^27-10^34 erg/s) sources remains much less studied, our knowledge being mostly based on the observation of local members. The advent of wide field and high sensitivity X-ray telescopes such as XMM-Newton now offers the opportunity to observe this low-to-medium Lx population at large distances. We report on the results of a Galactic plane survey conducted by the XMM-Newton Survey Science Centre (SSC). Beyond its astrophysical goals, this survey aims at gathering a representative sample of identified X-ray sources at low latitude that can be used later on to statistically identify the rest of the serendipitous sources discovered in the Milky Way. The survey is based on 26 XMM-Newton observations, obtained at |b| < 20 deg, distributed over a large range in Galactic longitudes and covering a summed area of 4 deg2. The flux limit of our survey is 2 x 10-15 erg/cm^2/s in the soft (0.5 - 2 keV) band and 1 x 10^-14 erg/cm^2/s in the hard (2 - 12 keV) band. We detect a total of 1319 individual X-ray sources. Using optical follow-up observations supplemented by cross-correlation with a large range of multi-wavelength archival catalogues we identify 316 X-ray sources. This constitutes the largest group of spectroscopically identified low latitude X-ray sources at this flux level. The majority of the identified X-ray sources are active coronae with spectral types in the range A - M at maximum distances of ~ 1 kpc. The number of identified active stars increases towards late spectral types, reaching a maximum at K. (abridged)

description: Unconventional superconductivity induced by the magnetic moments in a conventional spin-singlet s-wave superconductor is theoretically studied. By choosing the spin directions of these moments, one can design spinless pairing states appearing within the s-wave superconducting energy gap. It is found that the helix spins produce px + py-wave state while the skyrmion crystal configuration px + ipy-wave like state. Nodes in the energy gap and the zero energy flat band of Majorana edge states exist in the former one, while the chiral Majorana channels along edges of the sample and the zero energy Majorana bound state at the core of the vortex appear in the latter case.

Millijansky Radio Variability in SDSS Stripe 82

description: We report on a blind survey for extragalactic radio variability that was carried out by comparing two epochs of data from the FIRST survey with a third epoch from a new 1.4 GHz survey of SDSS Stripe 82. The three epochs are spaced seven years apart and have an overlapping area of 60 deg^2. We uncover 89 variable sources down to the millijansky level, 75 of which are newly-identified, and we find no evidence for transient phenomena. This new sample of variable sources allows us to infer an upper limit to the mean characteristic timescale of AGN radio variability of 14 years. We find that only 1% of extragalactic sources have fractional variability f_var >3, while 44% of Galactic sources vary by this much. The variable sample contains a larger fraction of quasars than a comparable non-variable control sample, though the majority of the variable sources appear to be extended galaxies in the optical. This implies that either quasars are not the dominant contributor to the variability of the sample, or that the deep optical data allow us to detect the host galaxies of some low-z quasars. We use the new, higher resolution data to report on the morphology of the variable sources. Finally, we show that the fraction of sources that are variable remains constant or increases at low flux densities. This may imply that next generation radio surveys with telescopes like the Australian Square Kilometer Array Pathfinder and MeerKAT will see a constant or even increasing fraction of variable sources down into the submillijansky regime.
