Using excited states and degeneracies to enhance the electric polarizability and first hyperpolarizability

description: We investigate the efficacy of boosting the nonlinear-optical response by using novel systems such as those in an excited state or with a degenerate ground state. By applying the Three Level Ansatz (TLA) and using the Thomas-Reiche-Kuhn (TRK) sum rules as constraints, we find the electric polarizability and first hyperpolarizability of excited state systems to be bounded, but larger than those derived for a system in the ground state. It is shown that a system with a degenerate ground state can have divergent intrinsic polarizabilities and that such divergences are real and not relics of a pathology in the perturbation theory. Furthermore, we demonstrate that these divergences only occur on time scales short compared to the relaxation time of the population difference to an equilibrium value. Such systems provide a way to get ultra-large nonlinear optical response. We discuss examples of huge enhancements in molecules and double quantum dots using a double quantum well as a model.
Novel azoheteroaryl photoswitches and their applications
Creators: name: Weston, Claire Elizabeth
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2016

description: Photoswitchable compounds have diverse applications, from photopharmacology to optical data storage. Azobenzenes are one of the most commonly used photoswitches, with a wealth of research focused on improving the photoconversion achieved upon irradiation and increasing the thermal stability of the Z-isomer. This work reports the development, study, and applications of the understudied azoheteroaryl photoswitches. A new class of azoheteroarenes, the arylazopyrazoles, have been developed. These photochromic compounds undergo very slow Z-E thermal isomerisation compared to the azobenzenes and achieve good to quantitative photoswitching between the two isomers. The conformation of the Z-isomers of these azoheteroarenes, and hence their spectral properties, can be tuned by altering the substitution pattern on the heteroaryl ring. Building on the initial work reported, a wider range of arylazoheteroarenes have also been studied, in order to fully investigate their properties and identify factors that control their thermal isomerisation rates. The azoheteroaryl photoswitches have been employed in two applications. The first, is the development of photoswitchable histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors for use in photopharmacology, using either arylazopyrazoles or azobenzenes. Assays were carried out on human HDACs and bacterial homologues; sub-micromolar IC50 values were obtained for the bacterial HDACs and up to a 9-fold difference in activity between E- and Z-isomers was observed. Several tethered photoswitchable HDAC inhibitors were also developed – such compounds have potential use in industrial applications. The inhibitor-enzyme conjugates had reduced enzyme activity relative to the unbound enzyme, however no difference in activity was seen between the E- and Z-isomers. The second application was the development of an azobisimidazole photoswitchable base. This compound exhibited a difference in basicity between the E- and Z-isomers of 1.3 pKa units. The difference in basicity is due to the additional proton stabilisation in the protonated Z isomer, which is facilitated by the basic imidazole nitrogens, and can be used to reversibly control solution pH.

description: Atmospheric fluorescence is usually neglected in the reconstruction of the signals registered by Cherenkov telescopes, both IACTs and wide-angle detector arrays. In this paper we quantify the fluorescence contribution to the total light recorded in typical observational configurations. To this end we have implemented the production and tracking of fluorescence light in the CORSIKA code. Both the Cherenkov and fluorescence light distributions on ground (2200 m a.s.l.) have been simulated for gamma-ray showers in a wide energy range ($10^{-1} - 10^3$ TeV). The relative fluorescence contribution has been evaluated as a function of the shower energy and zenith angle. Our results indicate that at distances from the impact point smaller than 200 m the fluorescence contamination is negligible in both types of telescopes. However, at about 1000 m, the contamination in IACTs is around 5%. At these core distances, the signals recorded by wide-angle detectors contain around 45% of atmospheric fluorescence in the PeV region.

description: ROSAT observations of a homogeneous sample of radio--selected BL Lac objects are presented. Results of a detailed spectral analysis in the soft 0.1-2.0 keV energy range are discussed and compared with similar previously published results. The X--ray spectral shape is discussed in relation to the overall energy distribution with particular emphasys on the high energy gamma--ray emission recently detected by CGRO--EGRET for about half of the objects in the sample. Dividing the objects in our sample on the basis of the radio to X--ray flux ratio (alpha_rx) we show that objects with alpha_rx > 0.75 have flatter X--ray spectra and are likely to be stronger gamma--ray emitters than objects with alpha_rx < 0.75. Moreover we note that the value of the peak energy of the synchrotron component, in a E * F(E) plot, correlates with alpha_rx and alpha_x.

Model membrane structure and morphology studied by atomic force microscopy
Creators: name: Parsons, Edward Stephan
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2016

description: The plasma membrane is comprised of a complex mixture of lipids and proteins that most simply acts to compartmentalise the cells interior from its external environment. The structure of the membrane adopts that of the lipid bilayer motif that acts as a supporting matrix in which integral and peripheral membrane proteins can diffuse. This results in a heterogeneous and dynamic environment that has a direct impact upon biomolecular function. An understanding such a complex system is often sought through minimal models that mimic the behaviour(s) of the native membrane but with a greatly reduced number of molecular components. Despite their relative simplicity, they can yield an insight in to the key driving forces of specific membrane processes. This thesis is concerned with the study of the structure and morphology adopted by model membrane systems, with atomic force microscopy providing a nanoscale view of the given membranes surface. Four distinct systems are studied: (i) By constructing phase-separated supported lipid bilayers with a systematic height mismatch between domains, it is demonstrated how height mismatch increases line tension, and drives the formation of smaller, more circular domains. (i) The sphingomyelin ripple phase is shown to be disrupted by cholesterol and ceramide dopants via two very different mechanisms, with cholesterol ‘melting’ the gel-like regions with little increase in ripple periodicity, whilst ceramide adds to the gel and elongates the periodicity. (iii) Thin films of inverse lipid phases are prepared and visualized, with the terminating lattice observable for the bicontinuous cubic phase of pure monoolein, although imaging of other inverse lattices remains elusive. (iv) It is shown that cholesterol is not required for collapse of the intermedilysin pre-pore complex prior to perforation, thus uncovering this collapse as a distinct mechanistic step. Each of these systems studied demonstrate the power of model systems in revealing the physicochemical behaviour that underpins membrane processes.

description: Structure plays a key role in learning performance. In centralized computational systems, hyperparameter optimization and regularization techniques such as dropout are computational means to enhance learning performance by adjusting the deep hierarchical structure. However, in decentralized deep learning by the Internet of Things, the structure is an actual network of autonomous interconnected devices such as smart phones that interact via complex network protocols. Self-adaptation of the learning structure is a challenge. Uncertainties such as network latency, node and link failures or even bottlenecks by limited processing capacity and energy availability can signif- icantly downgrade learning performance. Network self-organization and self-management is complex, while it requires additional computational and network resources that hinder the feasibility of decentralized deep learning. In contrast, this paper introduces a self-adaptive learning approach based on holarchic learning structures for exploring, mitigating and boosting learning performance in distributed environments with uncertainties. A large-scale performance analysis with 864000 experiments fed with synthetic and real-world data from smart grid and smart city pilot projects confirm the cost-effectiveness of holarchic structures for decentralized deep learning.

description: Magnetized inertial fusion experiments are approaching regimes where the radial transport is dominated by collisions between magnetized ions, providing an opportunity to exploit effects usually associated with steady-state magnetic fusion. In particular, the low-density hotspot characteristic of magnetized liner inertial fusion results in diamagnetic and thermal frictions which can demix thermalized ash from fuel, accelerating the fusion reaction. For reactor regimes in which there is substantial burnup of the fuel, increases in the fusion energy yield on the order of 5% are possible.

description: Many nearby galaxies contain optical signatures of nuclear activity in the form of LINER nuclei. LINERs may be the weakest and most common manifestation of the quasar phenomenon. The physical origin of this class of objects, however, has been ambiguous. I draw upon a number of recent observations to argue that a significant fraction of LINERs are low-luminosity active galactic nuclei.

description: We construct modified cosmological scenarios through the application of the first law of thermodynamics in the universe horizon, but using the generalized, nonextensive Tsallis entropy instead of the usual Bekenstein-Hawking one. We result to modified cosmological equations that possess the usual ones as a particular limit, but which in the general case contain extra terms that appear for the first time, that constitute an effective dark energy sector quantified by the nonextensive parameter $δ$. When the matter sector is dust, we extract analytical expressions for the dark energy density and equation-of-state parameters, and we extend these solutions to the case where radiation is present too. We show that the universe exhibits the usual thermal history, with the sequence of matter and dark-energy eras, and according to the value of $δ$ the dark-energy equation-of-state parameter can be quintessence-like, phantom-like, or experience the phantom-divide crossing during the evolution. Even in the case where the explicit cosmological constant is absent, the scenario at hand can very efficiently mimic $Λ$CDM cosmology, and is in excellent agreement with Supernovae type Ia observational data.

description: Massive stars are the main objects that illuminate H II regions and they evolve quickly to end their lives in core-collapse supernovae (CCSNe). Thus it is important to investigate the association between CCSNe and H II regions. In this paper, we present emission line diagnostics of the stellar populations around nearby CCSNe, that include their host H II regions, from the PMAS/PPAK Integral-field Supernova hosts COmpilation (PISCO). We then use BPASS stellar population models to determine the age, metallicity and gas parameters for H II regions associated with CCSNe, contrasting models that consider either single star evolution alone or incorporate interacting binaries. We find binary-star models, that allow for ionizing photon loss, provide a more realistic fit to the observed CCSN hosts with metallicities that are closer to those derived from the oxygen abundance in O3N2. We also find that type II and type Ibc SNe arise from progenitor stars of similar age, mostly from 7 to 45 Myr, which corresponds to stars with masses < 20 solar mass . However these two types SNe have little preference in their host environment metallicity measured by oxygen abundance or in progenitor initial mass. We note however that at lower metallicities supernovae are more likely to be of type II.

QSO's from Galaxy Collisions with Naked Black Holes

Year: 1995
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: In the now well established conventional view (see Rees [1] and references therein), quasi-stellar objects (QSOs) and related active galactic nuclei (AGN) phenomena are explained as the result of accretion of plasma onto giant black holes which are postulated to form via gravitational collapse of the high density regions in the centers of massive host galaxies. This model is supported by a wide variety of indirect evidence and seems quite likely to apply at least to some observed AGN phenomena. However, one surprising set of new Hubble Space Telescope (HST) observations [2-4] directly challenges the conventional model, and the well known evolution of the QSO population raises some additional, though not widely recognized, difficulties. We propose here an alternative possibility: the Universe contains a substantial independent population of super-massive black holes, and QSO's are a phenomenon that occurs due to their collisions with galaxies or gas clouds in the intergalactic medium (IGM). This hypothesis would naturally explain why the QSO population declines very rapidly towards low redshift, as well as the new HST data.

description: The Tully-Fisher (Tully and Fisher 1977; TF) relation is applied to obtain peculiar velocities of field spirals galaxies and to calculate dipoles of the peculiar velocity field to cz ~ 8000 km/s. The field galaxy sample is spatially co-extensive with and completely independent on a cluster sample, for which dipole characteristics are given in a separate paper. Dipoles of the peculiar velocity field are obtained separately by applying (i) an inverse version of the TF relation and selecting galaxies by redshift windowing and (ii) a direct TF relation, with velocities corrected for the inhomogeneous Malmquist bias, and windowing galaxies by TF distance. The two determinations agree, as they do with the cluster sample. When measured in a reference frame in which the Local Group is at rest, the dipole moment of field galaxies farther than ~4000 km/s is in substantial agreement, both in amplitude and direction, with that exhibited by the Cosmic Microwave Background radiation field.

NEUROIMAGING ITALIAN IRCCS NETWORK SOPS PROTOCOLS (FUNSTAR AND ACR)

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2022

description: RIN - Neuroimaging Network is a national consortium dedicated to identifying disease and subject-specific in-vivo neuroimaging biomarkers of diverse neurological and neuropsychiatric conditions. This ambitious goal needs efforts towards increasing the diagnostic and prognostic power of advanced MRI data. To this aim, 23 Italian Scientific Institutes of Hospitalization and Care (IRCCS), with technological and clinical specialization in the neurological and neuroimaging field, have gathered together. Each IRCCS is equipped with high- or ultra-high field MRI scanners (i.e., ≥3T) for clinical or preclinical research or has established expertise in MRI data analysis and infrastructure. The actions of this Network were defined across several work packages (WP).
 A clinical work package (WP1) defined the guidelines for a minimum standard clinical qualitative MRI assessment for the main neurological diseases. Two neuroimaging technical work packages (WP2 and WP3, for clinical and preclinical scanners) established Standard Operative Procedures (SOPs) for quality controls on phantoms as well as advanced harmonized quantitative MRI protocols for studying the brain of healthy human participants and wild type mice. Under FAIR principles, a web-based e-infrastructure to store and share data across sites was also implemented (WP4). Finally, the RIN translated all these efforts into a large-scale multimodal data collection in patients and animal models with dementia (i.e., case study). In this framework, SOPs for quality control with ACR phantom (ACR large and ACR small) and with FUNSTAR phantom were established including care of the phantom (e.g., refill), its placement within the head coil, implementation of the MRI protocol, and image acquisition.
Photon Splitting in Magnetar Models of Soft Gamma Repeaters

description: The recent association of soft gamma repeaters (SGRs) with counterparts in other wavebands has sparked much interest in these sources. One of the recent models for these objects is that they originate in the environs of neutron stars with fields much stronger than the quantum critical field \teq{B_{cr}=4.413\times 10^{13}} Gauss. Near such neutron stars, dubbed magnetars, the exotic quantum process of magnetic photon splitting becomes prolific. Its principal effect is to degrade photon energies and thereby soften gamma-ray spectra from neutron stars; it has recently been suggested that splitting may be responsible for limiting the hardness of emission in SGRs, if these sources originate in neutron stars with supercritical surface fields. Seed photons in supercritical fields efficiently generate soft gamma-ray spectra, typical of repeaters. In this paper, the influence of the curved dipole field geometry of a neutron star magnetosphere on the photon splitting rate is investigated. The dependence of the attenuation length on the location and angular direction of the seed photons is explored.

description: The Tile Calorimeter is the hadron calorimeter covering the central region of the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider. Approximately 10000 photomultipliers collect light from scintillating tiles acting as the active material sandwiched between slabs of steel absorber. This paper gives an overview of the calorimeter's performance during the years 2008-2012 using cosmic-ray muon events and proton-proton collision data at centre-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV with a total integrated luminosity of nearly 30 fb$^{-1}$. The signal reconstruction methods, calibration systems as well as the detector operation status are presented. The combination of energy calibration methods and time calibration proved excellent performance, resulting in good stability of the calorimeter response under varying conditions during the LHC Run 1. Finally, the Tile Calorimeter response to isolated muons and hadrons as well as to jets from proton-proton collisions is presented. The results demonstrate excellent performance in accord with specifications mentioned in the Technical Design Report.

The Concentration-Density Relation of Galaxies in Las Campanas Redshift Survey

Year: 1998

description: We report the results of the evaluation of the ``concentration-density'' relation of galaxies in the local universe, taking advantage of the very large and homogeneous data set available from the Las Campanas Redshift Survey (Shectman et al. 1996). This data set consists of galaxies inhabiting the entire range of galactic environments, from the sparsest field to the densest clusters, thus allowing us to study environmental variations without combining multiple data sets with inhomogeneous characteristics. Concentration is quantified by the automatically-measured concentration index $C$, which is a good measure of a galaxy's bulge-to-disk ratio. The environment of the sample galaxies is characterized both by the three-space local galaxy density and by membership in groups and clusters. We find that the distribution of C in galaxy populations varies both with local density and with cluster/group membership: the fraction of centrally-concentrated galaxies increases with local galaxy density, and is higher in clusters than in the field. A comparison of the concentration-local density relation in clusters and the field shows that the two connect rather smoothly at the intermediate density regime, implying that the apparent cluster/field difference is only a manifestation of the variation with the local density. We conclude that the structure of galaxies is predominantly influenced by the local density and not by the broader environments characterized by cluster/field memberships.

description: This study explores the responses to ketamine in patients with treatment-resistant depression (TRD) using a wearable forehead electroencephalography (EEG) device. We recruited fifty-five outpatients with TRD who were randomised into three approximately equal-sized groups (A: 0.5 mg/kg ketamine; B: 0.2 mg/kg ketamine; and C: normal saline) under double-blind conditions. The ketamine responses were measured by EEG signals and Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS) scores. At baseline, responders showed a significantly weaker EEG theta power than did non- responders (p < 0.05). Responders exhibited a higher EEG alpha power but lower EEG alpha asymmetry and theta cordance at post-treatment than at baseline (p < 0.05). Furthermore, our baseline EEG predictor classified responders and non-responders with 81.3 +- 9.5% accuracy, 82.1 +- 8.6% sensitivity and 91.9 +- 7.4% specificity. In conclusion, the rapid antidepressant effects of mixed doses of ketamine are associated with prefrontal EEG power, asymmetry and cordance at baseline and early post-treatment changes. The prefrontal EEG patterns at baseline may account for recognising ketamine effects in advance. Our randomised, double- blind, placebo-controlled study provides information regarding clinical impacts on the potential targets underlying baseline identification and early changes from the effects of ketamine in patients with TRD.

description: We have performed numerical simulations of the interplanetary transport of solar cosmic rays. The particles form a coherent pulse within $\sim0.01$ AU after their injection. The gradual decrease of a pulse's speed and anisotropy can be understood in terms of an equilibrium between pitch-angle scattering and focusing. The results should be useful for estimating times of particle injection.

description: The open ocean hosts an inconceivable wealth of marine life. Most of it remains unseen and unknown. Actually, the international community has agreed to develop a new legally binding agreement for the conservation and sustainable use of marine biodiversity by 2020. It aims to respond to the global ocean crisis caused by overfishing, pollution with plastics, ocean acidification, climate change, and other stressors from human activities. At the same time, States are also working on the legal framework for deep seabed mining – a considerable contradiction. As too little is known about the wealth that could be lost due to harmful impacts from mining activities, humankind should take its time to reflect, develop robust governance systems, and develop the knowledge needed to take informed decisions. The present study, authored by scientists from different backgrounds, makes the eloquent case for such a reflection, pause, and reassessment. The publication is recommended to any reader concerned about our oceans' future.

description: A consistent renormalization of a quantum theory of axion-electrodynamics requires terms beyond the minimal coupling of two photons to a neutral pseudoscalar field. This procedure is used to determine the self-energy operators of the electromagnetic and the axion fields with an accuracy of second-order in the axion-diphoton coupling. The resulting polarization tensor is utilized for establishing the axion-modified Coulomb potential of a static pointlike charge. In connection, the plausible distortion of the Lamb-shift in hydrogenlike atoms is established and the scopes for searching axionlike particles in high-precision atomic spectroscopy and in experiments of Cavendish-type are investigated. Particularly, we show that these hypothetical degrees of freedom are ruled out as plausible candidates for explaining the proton radius anomaly in muonic hydrogen. A certain loophole remains, though, which is linked to the nonrenormalizable nature of axion-electrodynamics.

description: In this paper, we use large $\pppm$ N-body simulations to study the three-point correlation function $ζ$ of clusters in two theoretical models. The first model (LCDM) is a low-density flat model of $Ω_0=0.3$, $Λ_0=0.7$ and $h=0.75$, and the second model (PIM) is an Einstein-de-Sitter model with its linear power spectrum obtained from observations. We found that the scaled function $Q(r,u,v)$, which is defined as the ratio of $ζ(r, ru, ru+rv)$ to the hierarchical sum $ξ(r)ξ(ru)+ ξ(ru) ξ(ru+rv) +ξ(ru+rv)ξ(r)$ (where $ξ$ is the two-point correlation function of clusters), depends weakly on $r$ and $u$, but very strongly on $v$. $Q(r,u,v)$ is about 0.2 at $v=0.1$ and 1.8 at $v=0.9$. A model of $Q(r,u,v)=Θ10^{1.3v^2}$ can fit the data of $ζ$ very nicely with $Θ\approx 0.14$. This model is found to be universal for the LCDM clusters and for the PIM clusters. Furthermore, $Q(r,u,v)$ is found to be insensitive to the cluster richness. We have compared our N-body results with simple analytical theories of cluster formation, like the peak theories or the local maxima theories. We found that these theories do not provide an adequate description for the three-point function of clusters. We have also examined the observational data of $ζ$ presently available, and have not found any contradiction between the observations and our model predictions. The $v$-dependence of $q$ in a projected catalogue of clusters is shown to be much weaker than the $v$-dependence of $Q$ found in the three-dimensional case. It would be important to search for the $v$-dependence of $Q$ in redshift samples of rich clusters.

description: Laser pulses traveling through a plasma can feature group velocities significantly differing from the speed of light in vacuum. This modifies the well-known Volkov states of an electron inside a strong laser-field from the vacuum case and consequently all quantum electrodynamical effects triggered by the electron. Here we present an in-depth study of the basic process of photon emission by an electron scattered from an intense short laser pulse inside a plasma, labeled nonlinear Compton scattering, based on modified Volkov solutions derived from first principles. Consequences of the nonlinear, plasma-dressed laser dispersion on the Compton spectra of emitted photons and implications for high-intensity laser-plasma experiments are pointed out.

description: We have used the ASCA satellite to make the first X-ray spectra of Markarian 6, a bright Seyfert 1.5 galaxy with complex and variable permitted lines, an ionization cone, and remarkable radio structures. Our 0.6--9.5 keV spectra penetrate to the black hole core of this Seyfert and reveal heavy and complex intrinsic X-ray absorption. Both total covering and single partial covering models fail to acceptably fit the observed absorption, and double partial covering or partial covering plus warm absorption appears to be required. The double partial covering model provides the best statistical fit to the data, and we measure large column densities of ~ (3-20) * 10^{22} cm^{-2} irrespective of the particular spectral model under consideration. These X-ray columns are over an order of magnitude larger than expected based on observations at longer wavelengths. Our data suggest that most of the X-ray absorption occurs either in gas that has a relatively small amount of dust or in gas that is located within the Broad Line Region. The X-ray absorber may well be the putative `atmosphere' above the torus that collimates the ionization cone. We also detect an apparently broad 6.4 keV iron K-alpha line, and we present optical spectra demonstrating that the optical emission lines were in a representative state during our ASCA observation.

description: Medium-carbon steel is commonly used for the rail, wire ropes, tire cord, cold heading, forging steels, cold finished steel bars, machinable steel and so on. Its fatigue behavior analysis and fatigue life estimation play an important role in the machinery industry. In this paper, the estimation of fatigue life of medium-carbon steel with different surface roughness using established S-N and P-S-N curves is presented. To estimate the fatigue life, the effect of the average surface roughness on the fatigue life of medium-carbon steel has been investigated using 75 fatigue tests in three groups with average surface roughness (Ra): 0.4 μm, 0.8 μm, and 1.6 μm, respectively. S-N curves and P-S-N curves have been established based on the fatigue tests. The fatigue life of medium-carbon steel is then estimated based on Tanaka-Mura crack initiation life model, the crack propagation life model using Paris law, and material constants of the S-N curves. Six more fatigue tests have been conducted to validate the presented fatigue life estimation formulation. The experimental results have shown that the presented model could estimate well the mean fatigue life of medium-carbon steel with different surface roughness.

description: Ferrous iron (Fe(II)) reacts with peroxymonosulphate (PMS) to form active oxidants that can degrade refractory organic pollutants. However, the conversion rate of Fe(III) to Fe(II) is slow, which limits its actual application. In the study, the effect of fulvic acid (FA) on the degradation of dimethyl phthalate (DMP) by Fe(II)/PMS was investigated. Moreover, the degradation process of DMP was predicted by the preliminary identification of active free radicals and intermediates. As expected, FA gave rise to a higher concentration of Fe(II) than that in Fe(II)/PMS to enhance the removal of DMP in Fe(II)/PMS system. The precipitate, involved in FA and iron, was an important composite to promote the degradation of DMP in the system. Also, the response surface methodology (RSM) was applied to model and optimize the degradation conditions of DMP. The highest removal efficiency (85.70%) was obtained at pH = 3.86, [PMS] = 0.96 mM, [FA] = 11.44 mg/L and [DMP] = 5 µM. The results of free radical quenching experiments and EPR showed that •OH and SO4•− were the main active radicals in this system. The degradation intermediates of DMP were monomethyl phthalate (MMP), phthalic acid and benzoic acid. Discoveries of this study had raised the current understanding of the application of FA keeping the cycles of Fe(II)/Fe(III) for peroxymonosulphate activation, which could afford valuable information for the degradation of organic pollutants by FA/Fe(II)/PMS.
