Energy thresholds for discrete breathers

Subjects: subject: Pattern Formation and Solitons (nlin.PS)

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Discrete breathers are time-periodic, spatially localized solutions of the equations of motion for a system of classical degrees of freedom interacting on a lattice. An important issue, not only from a theoretical point of view but also for their experimental detection, are their energy properties. We considerably enlarge the scenario of possible energy properties presented by Flach, Kladko, and MacKay [Phys. Rev. Lett. 78, 1207 (1997)]. Breather energies have a positive lower bound if the lattice dimension is greater than or equal to a certain critical value d_c. We show that d_c can generically be greater than two for a large class of Hamiltonian systems. Furthermore, examples are provided for systems where discrete breathers exist but do not emerge from the bifurcation of a band edge plane wave. Some of these systems support breathers of arbitrarily low energy in any spatial dimension.

description: In order to utilize the full potential of tailored flows of electromagnetic energy at the nanoscale, we need to understand its general behaviour given by its generic representation of interfering random waves. For applications in on-chip photonics as well as particle trapping, it is important to discern the topological features in the flow field between the commonly investigated cases of fully vectorial light fields and their 2D equivalents. We demonstrate the distinct difference between these cases in both the allowed topology of the flow-field and the spatial distribution of its singularities, given by their pair correlation function g(r). Specifically, we show that a random field confined to a 2D plane has a divergence-free flow-field and exhibits a liquid-like correlation, whereas its freely propagating counterpart has no clear correlation and features a transverse flow-field with the full range of possible 2D topologies around its singularities.

description: Acromyrmex octospinosus is the only Attine species present in Guadeloupe. It is an important phytophagous pest of food crops. In prospect of a selection of resistant cultivars, we have undertaken the study of some Dioscoreaceae forsaken by the leaf cutting ant during the selection of plant material to cut out. Biochemical and ethological investigations arc undertaken to determine the causes of this Attine inapperence to these plants. This natural resistance is of chemical kind and the cansing marcers are extractible with methanol. The preliminary analysis in thin layer chromatography allows linking them up 10 the saponin group. This point seems to be confirmed by the saponin quantitative analysis in the five studied Dioscoreaceae species.

description: Farming systems research/extension (FSR/E) embodies a systematic methodology beginning with problem identification and ending with dissemination of appropriate technology. Farming systems research (FSR) is a relatively recent approach dating back to the early 1970's (Collinson, 1972; Ruthenberg, 1971). Work initiated at ICTA in 1973 represents one of the first attempts to institutionalize FSR/E (Hildebrand, 1981). During the past 10 years, this methodology was more fully conceptualized and put into practice. Importation reductions were achieved for corn, beans, rice, and sorghum, with beans now an export crop. These results were achieved through application of FSR/E methodology with a focus on small-farm producers. Based on the farming systems methodology developed in Guatemala, the University of Florida initiated a FSR/E pilot program in 1981. The program is directed at technology generation for small farmers of north Florida and has emphasized improved grain and forage systems. On-farm reserach has proven critical in rapid problem identification and solution testing and is key to strengthening the farmer-extension-research connection.

description: We consider random walks on the surface of the sphere $S_{n-1}$ ($n \geq 2$) of the $n$-dimensional Euclidean space $E_n$, in short a hypersphere. By solving the diffusion equation in $S_{n-1}$ we show that the usual law $ \varpropto t $ valid in $E_{n-1}$ should be replaced in $S_{n-1}$ by the generic law $ \varpropto \exp(-t/τ)$, where $θ$ denotes the angular displacement of the walker. More generally one has $ \varpropto \exp(-t/ τ(L,n))$ where $C^{n/2-1}_{L}$ a Gegenbauer polynomial. Conjectures concerning random walks on a fractal inscribed in $S_{n-1}$ are given tentatively.

description: A preliminary classification is presented as a working document for development agents on the agricultural extension staff. The research work for this classification is based on interviews conducted by F.T.C. staff with the assistance of other agents from 1981 to 1984. An attempt is made to place farmers in homogenous groups to allow more relevant interventions to be proposed for each group. This is hypothesized to increase the chances for adoption of new ideas and practices. Other applications include (1) identifying target groups for training and for work elements; and (2) identifying relevant interest groups of farmers. The classification, subject to refinement, includes five main elements: (1) "Petit Planteur"; (2) the progressive farmer; (3) diversified farmers (3 categories); (4) part-time farmers; and (5) limited agricultural income farmers (four sub-categories).

An approximate relation between CP-violating rate differences in $B^0/\bar{B}^0 \to K^{\pm}π^{\mp}$ and $B^{\pm} \to K^{\pm}π^0$ is used to combine these rate differences to reduce upper limits on the two CP asymmetries. These rates and asymmetries are used to update bounds on the CKM phase $γ$.

Normalisation for Negative Free Logics without and with Definite Descriptions

description: This paper proves normalisation theorems for intuitionist and classical negative free logic, without and with the $\invertediota$ operator for definite descriptions. Rules specific to free logic give rise to new kinds of maximal formulas additional to those familiar from standard intuitionist and classical logic. When $\invertediota$ is added it must be ensured that reduction procedures involving replacements of parameters by terms do not introduce new maximal formulas of higher degree than the ones removed. The problem is solved by a rule that permits restricting these terms in the rules for $\forall$, $\exists$ and $\invertediota$ to parameters or constants. A restricted subformula property for deductions in systems without $\invertediota$ is considered. It is improved upon by an alternative formalisation of free logic building on an idea of Jaśkowski's. In the classical system the rules for $\invertediota$ require treatment known from normalisation for classical logic with $\lor$ or $\exists$. The philosophical significance of the results is also indicated.
title: The Development of Gardening as a Leisure Activity in Nineteenth Century Britain and the Establishment of Horticultural Periodicals
Creators: name: Wilkinson, Anne
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2003

description: The thesis is in two parts. The first part looks at the reasons for the growth of gardening and how amateur gardening emerged as a separate concept. It explains the development of the nursery trade and the importance of florists' societies. It concludes that amateur gardening developed partly out of necessity when urban gardeners could not find suitable professional gardeners nor obtain appropriate advice, but also became a popular leisure pursuit related to natural history and the accumulation of 'consumer' products to enhance the home. Rural gardening in the form of cottage gardens and allotments, and the establishment of public parks and horticultural societies are also considered, as well as women and clergymen as amateur gardeners. The second part of the thesis examines the development of horticultural periodicals. It explains how the earliest magazines were started for professional gardeners and florists to fulfil a need for topical information against the background of the existing publications of botanical magazines and horticultural manuals. Weekly horticultural papers began in the context of the explosion of popular publishing in the early part of the century. It is explained that several attempts were made to sell a paper to amateurs before the first successful amateur paper was established in the 1850s. It goes on to trace the development of the papers to the end of the century, by which time the market was dominated by weekly papers for amateurs. The lives and backgrounds of the major editors and writers are considered in order to explain their influence and the markets they were writing for. The thesis includes a cross-referenced digest of the gardening magazines of the nineteenth century and their contributors, and forty-five pages of illustrations.
Scalar anomaly cancellation reveals the hidden superalgebraic structure of the quantum chiral SU(2/1) model of leptons and quarks
Creators: name: Thierry-Mieg, Jean
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: At the classical level, the SU(2/1) superalgebra offers a natural description of the elementary particles: leptons and quarks massless states, graded by their chirality, fit the smallest irreducible representations of SU(2/1). Our new proposition is to pair the left/right space-time chirality with the superalgebra chirality and to study the model at the one-loop quantum level. If, despite the fact that they are non-Hermitian, we use the odd matrices of SU(2/1) to minimally couple an oriented complex Higgs scalar field to the chiral Fermions, novel anomalies occur. They affect the scalar propagators and vertices. However, these undesired new terms cancel out, together with the Adler-Bell-Jackiw vector anomalies, because the quarks compensate the leptons. The unexpected and striking consequence is that the scalar propagator must be normalized using the antisymmetric super-Killing metric and the scalar-vector vertex must use the symmetric d_aij structure constants of the superalgebra. Despite this extraordinary structure, the resulting Lagrangian is actually Hermitian.
description: A new anomaly free SU(2/1) superalgebra QFT model with a surprising super covariant scalar Lagrangian is presented. 12 pages, 30 references, plus 9 annexes giving in extenso all the matrices of SU(2/1) for leptons, quarks and the three families indecomposable representations. In v2, some citations were modified. In v3, relative to the version published in JHEP, we fixed a sign in equation H.3
Covalent bonding and the nature of band gaps in some half-Heusler compounds

description: Half-Heusler compounds \textit{XYZ}, also called semi-Heusler compounds, crystallize in the MgAgAs structure, in the space group $F\bar43m$. We report a systematic examination of band gaps and the nature (covalent or ionic) of bonding in semiconducting 8- and 18- electron half-Heusler compounds through first-principles density functional calculations. We find the most appropriate description of these compounds from the viewpoint of electronic structures is one of a \textit{YZ} zinc blende lattice stuffed by the \textit{X} ion. Simple valence rules are obeyed for bonding in the 8-electron compound. For example, LiMgN can be written Li$^+$ + (MgN)$^-$, and (MgN)$^-$, which is isoelectronic with (SiSi), forms a zinc blende lattice. The 18-electron compounds can similarly be considered as obeying valence rules. A semiconductor such as TiCoSb can be written Ti$^{4+}$ + (CoSb)$^{4-}$; the latter unit is isoelectronic and isostructural with zinc-blende GaSb. For both the 8- and 18-electron compounds, when \textit{X} is fixed as some electropositive cation, the computed band gap varies approximately as the difference in Pauling electronegativities of \textit{Y} and \textit{Z}. What is particularly exciting is that this simple idea of a covalently bonded \textit{YZ} lattice can also be extended to the very important \textit{magnetic} half-Heusler phases; we describe these as valence compounds \textit{ie.} possessing a band gap at the Fermi energy albeit only in one spin direction. The \textit{local} moment in these magnetic compounds resides on the \textit{X} site.

description: Dairy production in the eastern Caribbean is severely limited by environment, animal production units, lack of knowledge and marketing systems. The U.S. Virgin Islands import 50% of the fluid milk requirements and all of the milk product requirements, resulting in economic hardship. Low production and infertility as identified by DH1A records account for the low milk yield, (3,650-7,848 lbs/cow/year in 1981). An evaluation made in 1982 revealed problems of nutritional deficiency, leptospirosis and infertility. Improvements in milk production and reproduction were seen as a result of changes in management and immunization recommendations (413,002 lbs of milk increase, 1.1 month decrease in calving interval in 1983). These improvements resulted in 1148,875 increase in gross revenue. A major Caribbean dairy management research study is being developed using the St. Croix dairy cooperative herds as a model to study the problems of milk production in the Caribbean. The major components of this study are nutrition, genetic improvement, herd health programs, forage development, and water conservation.

description: We perform a numerical study on the two-dimensional nonequilibrium exciton-polariton systems driven by incoherent pumping based on the stochastic generalized Gross-Pitaevskii equation. We calculate the density fluctuation, coherence function, and scaling function. It is found that the correlations at short range agree with the Bogoliubov linear theory. While at large distance, both static and dynamic correlations are characterized by the nonlinear scaling behaviors of Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) universality class, especially when the interaction is weak. In this regime, scaling analyses are crucial to capture the universal KPZ scaling features. In addition, the interaction between vortices is modified in the strong KPZ regime and leads to complex nonequilibrium vortex patterns.

description: The purpose of this descriptive-correlation study was to investigate effective factors on rural people’s non-participation of Mahabad’s dam catchment in Watershed Management Projects. The research instrument was structural questionnaire with close-ended questions, which its validity confirmed by panel of academic staff and reliability of questionnaire was confirmed. The target population of this study consisted of all householders who lived in Mahabad’s dam catchment (N=2458) out of them, according to Cochran's formula 175 people were selected by using cluster sampling in a simple randomization method (n=175). The descriptive results showed lack of financial ability for participating in watershed management, lack of awareness about watershed management efficiency, the long- term rate of return on the investment attracted in watershed management were the main variables related to rural people’s non participation in watershed management. By applying Factor Analysis Explanatory Technique, effective factors on rural people’s non-participation in watershed management were reduced to five factors namely weakness of agricultural extension services, getting watershed management out of governmental control, no achieving success to implement another rural projects by government, and no considering local individuals or organization by government. These five factors expressed 84% of the total variance of the non-participation people on Mahabad’s dam catchment in watershed management projects. Therefore points to these factors could solve the barriers of non-participation people on Mahabad’s dam catchment in watershed management projects.

description: We report $^{51}$V nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and inelastic neutron scattering (INS) measurements on a quasi-1D antiferromagnet BaCo$_2$V$_2$O$_8$ under transverse field along the [010] direction. The scaling behavior of the spin-lattice relaxation rate above the Néel temperatures unveils a 1D quantum critical point (QCP) at $H_c^{1D}\approx 4.7$ T, which is masked by the 3D magnetic order. With the aid of accurate analytical analysis and numerical calculations, we show that the zone center INS spectrum at $H_c^{1D}$ is precisely described by the pattern of the 1D quantum Ising model in a magnetic field, a class of universality described in terms of the exceptional $E_8$ Lie algebra. These excitations keep to be non-diffusive over a certain field range when the system is away from the 1D QCP. Our results provide an unambiguous experimental realization of the massive $E_8$ phase in the compound, and open new experimental route for exploring the dynamics of quantum integrable systems as well as physics beyond integrability.

description: Pelodytidae BONAPARTE, 1850   Pelodytidae are a small family that includes a single extant genus, Pelodytes BONAPARTE, 1838. The genus inhabits disjunct areas, i.e. southwestern Europe and the Caucasus region. An extinct species, P. arevacus SANCHIZ, 1978, was described from the Miocene of Spain (Sanchiz 1978, 1998). The family is known also from North America where it is represented by Miopelodytes gilmorei TAYLOR, 1941 from the middle Miocene of Nevada, U.S.A. (Taylor 1941, Sanchiz 1998). Moreover, a stem pelodytid (Aerugoamnis paulus HENRICI, BÁEZ et GRANDE, 2013) was described from the early Eocene of Wyoming, the U.S.A. (Henrici et al. 2013).
 Pelodytids were reported from the Phosphorites, but no species was described. All specimens suggest a taxon similar to Pelodytes, if not Pelodytes itself. They were referred to as cf. Pelodytes (Crochet et al. 1981, Rage 1984a, 1988, 2006, Duffaud 2000). In the Phosphorites, cf. Pelodytes was recovered only from Eocene localities. The identification of this taxon was more or less questioned by Henrici et al. (2013), therefore description of the specimens, including a recently recovered tibiale-fibulare, is warranted.

description: We compute for the first time very highly damped quasinormal modes of the (rotating) Kerr black hole. Our numerical technique is based on a decoupling of the radial and angular equations, performed using a large-frequency expansion for the angular separation constant_{s}A_{l m}. This allows us to go much further in overtone number than ever before. We find that the real part of the quasinormal frequencies approaches a non-zero constant value which does not depend on the spin s of the perturbing field and on the angular index l: ω_R=m\varpi(a). We numerically compute \varpi(a). Leading-order corrections to the asymptotic frequency are likely to be of order 1/ω_I. The imaginary part grows without bound, the spacing between consecutive modes being a monotonic function of a.

description: We introduce a nonlinear Schroedinger equation (NLSE) which combines the pseudo-stimulated-Raman-scattering (pseudo-SRS) term, i.e., a non-conservative cubic one with the first spatial derivative, and an external potential, which helps to stabilize solitons against the pseudo-SRS effect. Dynamics of solitons is addressed by means of analytical and numerical methods. The quasi-particle approximation (QPA) for the solitons demonstrates that the SRS-induced downshift of the soliton's wavenumber may be compensated by a potential force, producing a stable stationary soliton. Three physically relevant potentials are considered: a harmonic-oscillator (HO) trap, a spatially periodic cosinusoidal potential, and the HO trap subjected to periodic temporal modulation. Both equilibrium positions of trapped pulses (solitons) and their regimes of motion with trapped and free trajectories are accurately predicted by the QPA and corroborated by direct simulations of the underlying NLSE. In the case of the time-modulated HO trap, a parametric resonance is demonstrated, in the form of motion of the driven soliton with an exponentially growing amplitude of oscillations.

Next, the model was revised by the expert panel of the study into a seven-factor model with 58 variables. Then, this revised model was transformed into a questionnaire. Once the expert panel studied, revised and at last confirmed the questionnaire, it was submitted to the subjects, around 234 university teachers of agricultural sciences selected randomly from some main universities in Iran. In order to run Explanatory Factor Analysis (EFA), the obtained data were analyzed by SPSS software (version 16.00). Consequently, EFA explained three factors such as naturalness, eloquentness and emotionalness as the main effective ones on teaching agriculture in the universities of Iran. Finally, it is worth mentioning that naturalness comprised six variables, eloquentness was consisted of eight variables and emotionalness concerned three variables.

description: The academic achievement of students has been a focus of social research for decades. Yet little attention has been paid to social capital and its importance as a university context factor for academic success. We examine whether social capital has effects on students’ academic achievement. The population of this study consisted of all senior agricultural students of Razi University at Iran (N=257), that 154 of them were selected as the sample using the proportionate stratified sampling method. The main instrument in this study was a questionnaire which its validity was confirmed by a panel of experts and its reliability was established by Cronbach's Alpha coefficient (α>0.70). Data was analyzed by SPSS Win22 and LISREL 8.80 software in two phases of descriptive and inferential statistics. Results of structural equation modeling indicated that social capital was the main predictor of agricultural students’ academic achievement. Findings of this study can have practical implications concerning agricultural students’ academic achievement for higher agricultural education mangers, planners and educators.
Single Photon Signals for Warped Quantum Gravity at a Linear e+-e- Collider

description: We study the `single photon' process e+- e- -> gamma nu nubar with contributions due to exchange of massive gravitons in the Randall- Sundrum model of low-scale quantum gravity. It is shown that for significant regions in the parameter space, this process unambiguously highlights the resonance structure of the graviton sector. Even in the non-resonant part of the parameter space, we show that comparison with the benchmark process e+- e- -> mu+- mu- can clearly distinguish signals for warped gravity from similar signals for large extra dimensions.

description: Antibiotics and other emerging contaminants are removed by wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) to a certain extent. However, the removal mechanism is not well understood due to the fact that the majority of the WWTPs only focus on the occurrence of these contaminants in the influents and effluents and sometimes in the sludge. Understanding the removal pathway is therefore difficult. This study is aimed at investigating the removal pathways of selected veterinary antibiotics from wastewater. A laboratory scale upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactor was employed to treat synthetic wastewater to explore the removal efficiencies of five veterinary antibiotics with an initial concentration of 50 µg/L. In a like manner, batch reactors were further used to evaluate the removal routes of the antibiotics. The UASB reactor was operated continuously under mesophilic conditions to evaluate its performance with regards to the removal of organics and at the same time monitor biogas production. Organic loading rate (OLR) was varied from 8 to 9.2 kg.COD.m-3 .d-1while keeping the hydraulic retention time (HRT) constant at 12 h. A COD removal efficiency higher than 75% was achieved at an OLR of 9 kg.COD.m-3 .d-1 , with a HRT of 12 hours. About 80% of the antibiotics were removed during the continuous processes, however, a distinctive pattern of removal was not observed. The kinetic studies using batch reactors showed that the removal route for the antibiotics was majorly adsorption to the sludge. Biodegradation occurred alongside adsorption but to a lesser degree. The kinetic data showed that the antibiotics followed a first order kinetic model with half-lives that ranged from 6 to 77 days.

description: In this research, the energy flow and production energy indices of canola cultivation in Trakya province of Turkey, Golestan and Mazandaran provinces of Iran were compared. Diesel fuel and chemical fertilizer inputs were the highest consumer of energy in the production of canola in these three regions. The results indicated that despite the higher energy use of machinery in Trakya province of Turkey, the energy use of diesel fuel in this province is less than the energy consumed in the two northern provinces of Iran, which could be due to available old machines for the production of canola in Mazandaran and Golestan provinces. Total greenhouse gas emissions of canola production for these regions were computed 562.85, 652.86 and 887.30 kgCO 2 eq ha -1 , respectively. The inputs of chemical fertilizer and diesel fuel in canola production produced the highest percentage of gas emissions in these three areas. Energy consumption for potential feedstock production for one kg production of biodiesel fuel in these provinces was calculated as 14.76, 20.66 and 37.77 MJ, respectively. The amounts of greenhouse gas emissions for potential feedstock production for one kg production of biodiesel were obtained 0.45, 0.76 and 1.17 kgCO 2 eq for Trakya, Golestan and Mazandaran provinces, respectively.

description: Even though irreversibility is one of the major hallmarks of any real life process, an actual understanding of irreversible processes remains still mostly semiempirical. In this paper we formulate a thermodynamic uncertainty principle for irreversible heat engines operating with an ideal gas as a working medium. In particular, we show that the time needed to run through such an irreversible cycle multiplied by the irreversible work lost in the cycle, is bounded from below by an irreducible and process-dependent constant that has the dimension of an action. The constant in question depends on a typical scale of the process and becomes comparable to Planck's constant at the length scale of the order Bohr-radius, i.e., the scale that corresponds to the smallest distance on which the ideal gas paradigm realistically applies.

description: Named Entity Recognition (NER) and Entity Linking (EL) play an essential role in voice assistant interaction, but are challenging due to the special difficulties associated with spoken user queries. In this paper, we propose a novel architecture that jointly solves the NER and EL tasks by combining them in a joint reranking module. We show that our proposed framework improves NER accuracy by up to 3.13% and EL accuracy by up to 3.6% in F1 score. The features used also lead to better accuracies in other natural language understanding tasks, such as domain classification and semantic parsing.
