description: We present mode-coupling equations for the description of the slow dynamics observed in supercooled molecular liquids close to the glass transition. The mode-coupling theory (MCT) originally formulated to study the slow relaxation in simple atomic liquids, and then extended to the analysis of liquids composed by linear molecules, is here generalized to systems of arbitrarily shaped, rigid molecules. We compare the predictions of the theory for the $q$-vector dependence of the molecular nonergodicity parameters, calculated by solving numerically the molecular MCT equations in two different approximation schemes, with ``exact'' results calculated from a molecular dynamics simulation of supercooled water. The agreement between theory and simulation data supports the view that MCT succeeds in describing the dynamics of supercooled molecular liquids, even for network forming ones.

description: We report on the measurements of production of various charmed hadrons in Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\rm{NN}}}$ = 200 GeV (including $D^{0}(\overline{D^{0}})$ and $Λ_{c}^{\pm}$) obtained via topological reconstruction, utilizing the Heavy Flavor Tracker at STAR. Precise results on the $D^{0}$ yields from the 2014 data are reported for a wide transverse momentum range down to 0 in various centrality bins. With the high-statistics data collected in 2014 and 2016, and the usage of a supervised machine learning algorithm for signal-to-background separation, the first measurement of the centrality and transverse momentum dependences of $Λ_{c}^{\pm}$ production is shown. Finally, the total charm quark cross section extracted from these measurements in Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\rm{NN}}}$ = 200 GeV is presented.

A new mechanism for granular segregation

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2001
Subjects: subject: Soft Condensed Matter (cond-mat.soft)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A novel process is described that produces horizontal size segregation in a vertically vibrated layer of granular material. The behavior is a consequence of two distinct phenomena that are unique to excited granular media: vibration which causes the larger particles to rise to the top of the layer, and a vibrating base with a sawtooth surface profile which can produce stratified flows in opposite directions at different heights within the layer. The result of combining these effects is that large and small particles are horizontally driven in opposite directions. The observations reported here are based on computer simulations of granular models in two and three dimensions.

description: Although Value Sensitive Design offers a theoretical and methodological framework to account for values in design, many questions and controversies are left. The current work aims to contribute to this value debate, by taking stock of large Research through Design (RtD) programs including their developed artifacts, to explore to what extent the explicit and tacit knowledge generated enabled actors to make public and cultural values explicit. Differently put, seven ongoing RtD projects have been studied in an elaborate RtD process articulated in three phases, differentiating in their focus: 1) understanding the values involved in the RtD projects; 2) share insights to steer peer debate on Research on Values, and 3) co-analyse the data and generate further insights. The current research brings forward two main contributions to the RTD community. On the one hand, using ongoing RtD projects in an RtD approach provides a kaleidoscopic perspective on how research and design constantly inform each other through the application of design. On the other hand, the adoption of this kaleidoscopic RtD approach in the context of multidisciplinary research on values acts as a catalyst that generated knowledge and insights to stimulate the debate on accounting values in design research.

description: Connected Resources are a family of combinable devices that add digital capabilities to mundane objects, in order to support everyday strategies of resourcefulness in older people. Using Connected Resources as an example, this paper describes de- signing for older people’s resourcefulness using an RtD process. Here, the artifact dimensions of openness, which is needed when designing for resourcefulness, are generated through an experimental study with prototypes. The dimensions of a variety of use were identified during a participatory session in which uses for prototypes in the everyday practices of older people were explored. Finally, design considerations to ensure older people’s different levels of independence from technology were determined. The paper first describes three working prototypes built during the first design iteration. It then moves on to showcase two studies conducted with these prototypes and the insights in relation to the variables of openness and variety. Finally, we discuss how these insights were used to redefine functionalities and interaction qualities in the second iteration, and how these insights influenced the prototypes’ shape, materiality and semiotics, as well as the conceptualization of data visualizations on the online platform. Lastly, we provide a reflection of the knowledge generated in the RtD process.

description: Software repositories such as Git have become a relevant source of information for software engineer researcher. For instance, the detection of Commits that fulfill a given criterion (e.g., bugfixing commits) is one of the most frequent tasks done to understand the software evolution. However, to our knowledge, there is not open-source tools that, given a Git repository, returns all the instances of a given change pattern. In this paper we present Coming, a tool that takes an input a Git repository and mines instances of change patterns on each commit. For that, Coming computes fine-grained changes between two consecutive revisions, analyzes those changes to detect if they correspond to an instance of a change pattern (specified by the user using XML), and finally, after analyzing all the commits, it presents a) the frequency of code changes and b) the instances found on each commit. We evaluate Coming on a set of 28 pairs of revisions from Defects4J, finding instances of change patterns that involve If conditions on 26 of them.

description: Liquid crystals have emerged as potential candidates for next-generation lubricants due to their tendency to exhibit long-range ordering. Here, we construct a full atomistic model of 4-cyano-4-hexylbiphenyl (6CB) nematic liquid crystal lubricants mixed with hexane and confined by mica surfaces. We explore the effect of the surface structure of mica, as well as lubricant composition and thickness, on the nanoscale friction in the system. Our results demonstrate the key role of the structure of the mica surfaces, specifically the positions of potassium ($\mathrm{K}^+$) ions, in determining the nature of sliding friction with monolayer lubricants, including the presence or absence of stick-slip dynamics. With the commensurate setup of confining surfaces, when the grooves created between the periodic $\mathrm{K}^+$ ions are parallel to the sliding direction we observe a lower friction force as compared to the perpendicular situation. Random positions of ions exhibit even smaller friction forces with respect to the previous two cases. For thicker lubrication layers the surface structure becomes less important and we observe a good agreement with the experimental data on bulk viscosity of 6CB and the additive hexane. In case of thicker lubrication layers, friction may still be controlled by tuning the relative concentrations of 6CB and hexane in the mixture.

description: Imagining the future has always been the task of architects, but do they still have the tools to do it? Giancarlo De Carlo had no doubts. By definition, the role of the architect is to prefigure the future, to persuade others of their reasons, to design what still does not exist, and to coordinate the various results so they can be implemented. De Carlo was certainly aware of his position within society and felt the capacity to imagine and design the future as his own (Lima, 2020).

description: Since my entrance into the architectural area at the end of the eighties of the last century and more intensively after I was appointed professor from practice at the Faculty of Architecture at the TU Delft just after the millennium shift, I have written and edited a vast number of essays and books1, securing to have the theory as directly as possible connected to hands-on practice. Our practice ONL (Oosterhuis_Lénárd) has been since its foundation a platform for the fusion of art, architecture and technology. Hyperbody has thrived at the forefront of interactive architecture until its self-selected abolishment in 2016. The name Hyperbody is the logical extrapolation of Hypertext and Hypersurface (Perella, 1994). Hyperbodies are consistent embodied vehicles that live simultaneously in physical and digital space in real time. In a programmable Hyperbody, non-physical and physical changes can be performed by jumping from one mode of operation to another. In this essay I will look briefly back at some key components of our combined theory and praxis, and then quickly peer into what I believe is looming ahead of us.

Surprisingly, in a large range of magnetic field and Landau level fillings, the value of the enhanced g-factor appears to be constant.

description: We discuss direct CP violation in three-body decays of $B$ meson such as $B^\pm \to K^\pmπ^+π^-$, which involves various intermediate resonance states, such as $B^\pm \to K^*_i π^\pm$ and $B^\pm \to ρK^\pm$, where $K^*_i$ represents the $πK$ resonance. Due to the large final state interaction phases of the resonances, the CP asymmetry can be as large as the 25% level near the kinematical region where the $K^*_i$ and $ρ$ resonances overlap. By examining a Dalitz plot of this mode and combining a measurement of the branching ratio for $B^\pm \to ρ^\pm K$, it is possible to extract the weak phase, $ϕ_3$= arg$(-V_{ud}V_{ub}^*/(V_{cd}V_{cb}^*))$, of the Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix.

description: Die vorliegende Bachelorarbeit der angehenden Soziokulturellen Animator_innen Lea Estermann und Marco Perucchi befasst sich mit dem Thema des nachbarschaftlichen Zusammenhalts in Siedlungen. Der Zusammenhalt ist ein Ziel der Soziokulturellen Siedlungsanimation. Der Trend in der Siedlungsentwicklung geht mit der Digitalisierung in Richtung Applikationen für Smartphones, welche ebenfalls den nachbarschaftlichen Zusammenhalt stärken sollen. Mit Blick auf die Förderung des nachbarschaftlichen Zusammenhalts wurde geprüft, inwiefern eine digitale Nachbarschafts- App die Siedlungsanimation konkurrenziert. Dazu wurden aus der Literatur die Bedingungen nachbarschaftlichen Zusammenhalts herausgearbeitet. Diese Bedingungen wurden einerseits mit der Siedlungsanimation, andererseits mit der Applikation verglichen und beurteilt, wo die Stärken und Schwächen der beiden Herangehensweisen liegen. Bei der darauffolgenden Gegenüberstellung zeigte sich, dass die Motivationen der beiden Herangehensweisen für einen nachbarschaftlichen Zusammenhalt sehr unterschiedlich sind. Ausserdem wurde aufgezeigt, dass die Soziokulturelle Animation über mehr Stärken in der Förderung des Zusammenhalts verfügt. Die Applikation alleine fördert keinen Zusammenhalt, dazu braucht es eine aktive Bewohnerschaft und Verwaltung. Die Applikation kann aber eine Ergänzung für die Arbeit von Soziokulturellen Siedlungsanimator_innen sein. Für Soziokulturelle Animator_innen wird es in der digitalisierten Zukunft wichtig sein sich dafür einzusetzen, dass nicht die wirtschaftliche, sondern die gesellschaftliche Motivation bei Entscheidungsträger_innen von Siedlungsentwicklungsprozessen überwiegt.

(B) The classification of 406 tRFs&tiRNAs specific to control according to their cleavage position in tRNA. Due to the limited amount of literature associated with tRFs, it is difficult to draw accurate conclusions about the functions of these fragments. Here we take an example from literature to illustrate their potential function. It was reported that a tRF-3 from tRNA-Gly-GCC is abundantly expressed in naïve, germinal center, and memory B cells in humans and is physically associated with Ago proteins. It has also been confirmed that this tRF-3 was not expressed in transformed B cell or lymphoma biopsies, suggesting that this tRF is specific to the normal cells. Figure S2. (A) The Scatter plots of tRFs & tiRNAs between two groups. TPM values of all tRFs & tiRNAs are plotted. The values of X and Y axes in the Scatter-Plot are the averaged TPM values of each group (log2 scaled). Genes above the top line (red dots, up-regulation) or below the bottom line (green dots, down-regulation) indicate more than 2.0 fold change (Default fold change value is 2.0) between two compared groups. Gray dots indicate tRFs & tiRNAs without differential expression. (B) The Volcano Plots of tRFs & tiRNAs for Test vs Control. Red/Green circles indicate 2.0 fold change differentially expressed tRFs & tiRNAs with statistical significance (Red: up-regulated; Green: down-regulated). Gray circles indicate non-differentially expressed tRFs & tiRNAs, whether FC or q-value is not satisfied. The values of X and Y axes in the Volcano Plot are the Fold change (log2 transformed) and p-value (−log10 transformed) between two groups, respectively. (C) Examples of tRNA structure for each fragment (AS-tDR-013492 and AS-tDR-008946). The sequence of AS-tDR-013492 comes from two different tRNAs, and we depicted the location of the fragments with red lines. Figure S3.

description: Within the real-time formulation of nonequilibrium field theory, generalized transport equations are derived avoiding the standard quasiparticle approximation. They permit to include unstable particles into the transport scheme. In order to achieve a self-consistent, conserving and thermodynamically consistent description, we generalize the Baym's $Φ$-functional method to genuine nonequilibrium processes. The developed transport description naturally includes all those quantum features already inherent in the corresponding equilibrium limit. Memory effects appearing in collision term diagrams of higher order are discussed. The variational properties of $Φ$-functional permit to derive a generalized expression for the non-equilibrium kinetic entropy flow, which includes fluctuations and mass width effects. In special cases an $H$-theorem is demonstrated implying that the entropy can only increase with time. Memory effects in the kinetic terms provide corrections to the kinetic entropy flow that in equilibrium limit recover the famous bosonic type $T^3 \ln T$ correction to the specific heat of Fermi liquids like Helium-3.

description: Dementia affects 47 million people worldwide. It is a collection or consequence of many illnesses with symptoms including deterioration in memory, thinking and behaviour; it is a terminal disease. The fear of dementia leads people to request euthanasia. Euthanasia in dementia rarely happens because the dementia symptoms conflict with the due care criteria; a person requesting euthanasia must confirm the request at time of death and must be undergoing hopeless suffering. Once dementia has progressed, the euthanasia ‘wish’ can no longer be confirmed, and assessing suffering in a person with dementia is difficult. Having a reliable dementia diagnosis is essential in order to be able to make a decision for an ‘early’ euthanasia. This paper describes a Speculative Design to explore what options should be considered for receiving a dementia diagnosis in order to plan a death. A branding strategy was developed for the Planned Death company, who advocate an early diagnosis for making end-of-life decisions. The branding includes company identity, website, diagnostic kit, diagnostic delivery strategy, and end-of-life support. Additionally a short documentary was developed describing the Planned Death Company’s motivation and a client testimonial. Responses to the documentary were collected with a carefully selected group of participants through a survey and in-depth interviews. The responses were rich and sparked debate. Many new questions arose to do with patient autonomy and social structures.

description: Using birefringence techniques we have measured the critical exponents beta, gamma, and delta in As-doped TbVO4, a structural realization of the random-field Ising model where random strain fields are introduced by V-As size mismatch. For pure TbVO4 we observe the expected classical critical exponents, while for a mixed sample with 15% As concentration our results are beta=0.31 +/-0.03, gamma=1.22 +/-0.07, and delta=4.2 +/-0.7. These values are consistent with the critical exponents for the short range pure Ising model in three dimensions in agreement with a prediction by Toh. The susceptibility data showed a crossover with temperature from classical to random field critical behaviour.

description: Ground state cooling of mechanical resonator is a way to generate macroscopic quantum states. Here we present a study of optomechanical cooling under the drive of square pulses without smooth profile. By illustrating the dynamical processes of cooling, we show how to choose the amplitudes and durations of square pulses, as well as the intervals between them, so that a mechanical resonator can be quickly cooled down to its ground state. Compared with the cooling under a continuous-wave drive field, the ground state cooling of a mechanical resonator can be performed more efficiently and flexibly by using square pulse drives. At certain times of such cooling process, the thermal phonon number under square pulse drives can become even lower than the theoretical limit for the cooling with a continuous-wave drive field of the same amplitude.

description: We report muon spin relaxation measurements on the superconductor Sr2RuO4 that reveal the spontaneous appearance of an internal magnetic field below the transition temperature: the appearance of such a field indicates that the superconducting state in this material is characterized by the breaking of time-reversal symmetry. These results, combined with other symmetry considerations, suggest that superconductivity in Sr2RuO4 is of p-wave (odd-parity) type, analogous to superfluid 3He.

description: Technology advances have set the stage for intelligent visual agents, with many initial applications being created for people who are blind or have low vision. While most focus on spatial navigation, recent literature suggests that supporting social navigation could be particularly powerful by providing appropriate cues that allow blind and low vision people to enter into and sustain social interaction. A particularly poignant design challenge to enable social navigation is managing agent interaction in a way that augments rather than disturbs social interaction. Usage of existing agent-like technologies have surfaced some of the difficulties in this regard. In particular, it is difficult to talk to a person when an agent is speaking to them. It is also difficult to speak with someone fiddling with a device to manipulate their agent. In this paper we present SNaSI, a wearable designed to provoke the thinking process around how we support social navigation through subtle interaction. Specifically, we are interested to generate thinking about the triangular relationship between a blind user, an communication partner and the system containing an AI agent. We explore how notions of subtlety, but not invisibility, can enable this triadic relationship. SNaSI builds upon previous research on sensory substitution and the work of Bach-y-Rita (Bach-y-Rita 2003) but explores those ideas in the form of a social instrument.

description: We investigate the nucleation of superconductivity in a uniform perpendicular magnetic field H in aluminum microsquares containing a few (2 and 4) submicron holes (antidots). The normal/superconducting phase boundary T_c(H) of these structures shows a quite different behavior in low and high fields. In the low magnetic field regime fluxoid quantization around each antidot leads to oscillations in T_c(H), expected from the specific sample geometry, and reminiscent of the network behavior. In high magnetic fields, the T_c(H) boundaries of the perforated and a reference non-perforated microsquare reveal cusps at the same values of Phi/Phi_0 (where Phi is the applied flux threading the total square area and Phi_0 is the superconducting flux quantum), while the background on T_c(H) becomes quasi-linear, indicating that a giant vortex state is established. The influence of the actual geometries on T_c(H) is analyzed in the framework of the linearized Ginzburg-Landau theory.

description: We explore the possibility that polaronic distortions in the paramagnetic phase of La$_{0.67}$Ca$_{0.33}$MnO$_3$ manganites persist in the ferromagnetic phase by considering the observed electrical resistivity to arise from coexisting field- and temperature-dependent polaronic and band-electron fractions. We use an effective medium approach to compute the total resistivity of the two-component system, and find that a limit with low percolation threshold explains the data rather well. To test the validity of this model, we apply it to the thermoelectric coefficient. We propose a plausible mean-field model that reproduces the essential features of a microscopic model and provides a comparison with the experimental mixing fraction, as well as the magnetization and magnetic susceptibility.

Teaching the concept of convolution and correlation using Fourier transform

description: Convolution operation is indispensable in studying analog optical and digital signal processing. Equally important is the correlation operation. The time domain community often teaches convolution and correlation only with one dimensional time signals. That does not clearly demonstrate the effect of convolution and correlation between two signals. Instead if we consider two dimensional spatial signals, the convolution and correlation operations can be very clearly explained. In this paper, we propose a lecture demonstration of convolution and correlation between two spatial signals using the Fourier transform tool. Both simulation and optical experiments are possible using a variety of object transparencies. The demonstration experiments help to clearly explain the similarity and the difference between convolution and correlation operations. This method of teaching using simulation and hands-on experiments can stimulate the curiosity of the students. The feedback of the students, in my class teaching, has been quite encouraging.

description: Motivated by recent advances in the investigation of fluctuation-driven ratchets and flows in excited granular media, we have carried out experimental and simulational studies to explore the horizontal transport of granular particles in a vertically vibrated system whose base has a sawtooth-shaped profile. The resulting material flow exhibits novel collective behavior, both as a function of the number of layers of particles and the driving frequency; in particular, under certain conditions, increasing the layer thickness leads to a reversal of the current, while the onset of transport as a function of frequency occurs gradually in a manner reminiscent of a phase transition. Our experimental findings are interpreted here with the help of extensive, event driven Molecular Dynamics simulations. In addition to reproducing the experimental results, the simulations revealed that the current may be reversed as a function of the driving frequency as well. We also give details about the simulations so that similar numerical studies can be carried out in a more straightforward manner in the future.

A reference sample of face-on bulgeless galaxies

description: We present a list of 220 face-on, almost bulgeless galaxies assumed to be counterparts to the objects from the Reference Flat Galaxy Catalog (RFGC). We selected the Sc, Scd and Sd-type galaxies according to their apparent axial ratio $log(r_{25}) < 0.05$ and major standard angular diameter $log(d_{25}) > 0.90$ as defined in HyperLEDA. The sample objects are restricted by the radial velocity $V_{LG} < 10000$ km/s and a declination of above $-30$ deg. The morphological composition of our sample is quite similar to that of RFGC. We notice the following common properties of face-on bulgeless galaxies. About half of them have bar-like structures occurring in the whole range of the absolute magnitudes of galaxies: from $-17$ to $-22$ mag. An essential part of our sample (27-50%) exhibit distorted spiral patterns. The galaxies do not show significant asymmetry in numbers of the "S"- and "Z"-like spin orientation. The mean (pseudo)bulge-to-total mass ratio for the sample is estimated as 0.11. Due to a negligible internal extinction, low-light background, and small projection effect, the face-on Sc-Sd discs are suitable objects to recognize their central nuclei as moderate-mass BH candidates. About 40-60% of the galaxies have distinct unresolved nuclei, and their presence steeply depend on the luminosity of the host galaxy.

Imprinted Networks as Chiral Pumps

description: We investigate the interaction between a chirally imprinted network and a solvent of chiral molecules. We find, a liquid crystalline polymer network is preferentially swollen by one component of a racemic solvent. This ability to separate is linked to the chiral order parameter of the network, and can be reversibly controlled via temperature or a mechanical deformation. It is maximal near the point at which the network loses its imprinted structure. One possible practical application of this effect would be a mechanical device for sorting mixed chiral molecules.

Entomology and Information Technology

description: At some point, philosophy started talking about insects. Insects became a recurrent conceptual character. Bergson writes beautiful pages about wasps (1907), Heidegger (1929) about bees, Henri Maldiney (1991) and Gilles Deleuze (1995) about ticks. Philosophy is a kind of laboratory. The output of that laboratory is concepts. And what is a concept? It is a concentrated experience, something that happens in the world summarized in an extremely economic form. A crystal of events. So, at some point, the activities of that laboratory change perspective. The main characters are no longer God, Being, Good and Evil, or not only and not always. We should ask what happened, what kind of transformation is going on. Not so much in philosophy, but in our world.

description: The recent experimental discovery of intrinsic ferromagnetism in single-layer CrI3 opens a new avenue to low-dimensional spintronics. However, the low Curie temperature Tc=45 K is still a large obstacle to its realistic device application. In this work, we demonstrate that the Tc and magnetic moment of CrX3(X=Br, I) can be enhanced simultaneously by coupling them to buckled two-dimensional Mene (M=Si, Ge) to form magnetic van der Waals (vdW) heterostructures. Our first-principles calculations reveal that n-doping of CrX3, induced by a significant spin-dependent interlayer charge transfer from Mene, is responsible for its drastic enhancement of Tc and magnetic moment. Furthermore, the diversified electronic properties including halfmetallicity and semi-conductivity with configuration dependent energy gap are also predicted in this novel vdW heterostructure, implying their broad potential applications in spintronics. Our study suggests that the vdW engineering may be an efficient way to tune the magnetic properties of 2D magnets, and the Mene_CrX3 magnetic vdW heterostructures are wonderful candidates in spintronics and nanoelectronics device.

description: We develop a quantitative semiclassical theory for the resosnant tunneling through a quantum well in a tilted magnetic field. It is shown, that in the leading semiclassical approximation the tunneling current depends only on periodic orbits within the quantum well. Further corrections (due to e.g. "ghost" effect) can be expressed in terms of closed, but non-periodic orbits, started at the "injection point". The results of the semiclassical theory are shown to be in good agreement with both the experimental data and numerical calculations.
