Detecting chaos in a complex system

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The sequences, given by a 7D map have been analysed by means of the methods, widely used to detect chaos in the real world in order to test their sensitivity to chaotic features of a non-linear system determined by comparatively high number of parameters. The same diagnostic approaches have been applied to the 3D Lorenz map for comparison. The results show that for some of the sequences yielded from the 7D map, the adopted methods were not able to give as straightforward answer to the question if the system is chaotic as in the 3D case. Since the sequences, subject of the analysis, were not contaminated by noise and were sufficiently long, it could be assumed that such difficulties have arisen likely due to specific internal features of the more complex system. It was found also that an increase from 0.01 to 0.5 of the sampling step determining the sequences obtained from the 7D map, masks the chaos in some of them.

description: In this article we introduce a new type of nonlocal operators and study the Cauchy problem for certain parabolic-type pseudodifferential equations naturally associated to these operators. Some of these equations are the p-adic master equations of certain models of complex systems introduced by Avetisov et al. The fundamental solutions of these parabolic-type equations are transition functions of random walks on the n-dimensional vector space over the field of p-adic numbers. We study some properties of these random walks, including the first passage time.

description: Using the Coulomb corrections to some important parameters of a revised Moliere multiple scattering theory, we have obtained analytically and numerically the Coulomb corrections to the quantities of the Migdal theory of the Landau-Pomeranchuk (LPM) effect for sufficiently thick targets. We showed that the Coulomb correction to the spectral bremsstrahlung rate of this theory allows completely eliminating the discrepancy between the theory and experiment at leastfor high Z experimental targets.

description: A linear stability analysis of the Navier-Stokes (NS) granular hydrodynamic equations is performed to determine the critical length scale for the onset of vortices and clusters instabilities in granular dense binary mixtures. In contrast to previous attempts, our results (which are based on the solution to the inelastic Enskog equation to NS order) are not restricted to nearly elastic systems since they take into account the complete nonlinear dependence of the NS transport coefficients on the coefficients of restitution $α_{ij}$. The theoretical predictions for the critical length scales are compared to molecular dynamics (MD) simulations in flows of strong dissipation ($α_{ij}\geq 0.7$) and moderate solid volume fractions ($ϕ\leq 0.2$). We find excellent agreement between MD and kinetic theory for the onset of velocity vortices, indicating the applicability of NS hydrodynamics to polydisperse flows even for strong inelasticity, finite density, and particle dissimilarity.

description: We investigate the behavior of energy momentum tensor correlators in holographic $\mathcal{N}=4$ super Yang-Mills plasma, taking finite coupling corrections into account. In the thermal limit we determine the flow of quasinormal modes as a function of the 't Hooft coupling. Then we use a specific model of holographic thermalization to study the deviation of the spectral densities from their thermal limit in an out-of-equilibrium situation. The main focus lies on the thermalization pattern with which the plasma constituents approach their thermal distribution as the coupling constant decreases from the infinite coupling limit. All obtained results point towards the weakening of the usual top-down thermalization pattern.

description: The problem of 2-coloring uniform hypergraphs has been extensively studied over the last few decades. An n-uniform hypergraph is not 2-colorable if its vertices can't be colored with two colors, Red and Blue, such that every hyperedge contains Red as well as Blue vertices. The least possible number of hyperedges in an n-uniform hypergraph which is not 2-colorable is denoted by m(n). In this paper, we consider the problem of finding an upper bound on m(n) for small values of n. We provide constructions which improve the existing results for some such values of n. We obtain the first improvement in the case of n=8.

description: Many natural forests in Southeast Asia are degraded following decades of logging. Restoration of these forests is delayed by ongoing logging and tropical cyclones, but the implications for recovery are largely uncertain. We analysed meteorological, satellite and forest inventory plot data to assess the effect of Typhoon Doksuri, a major tropical cyclone, on the forest landscapes of central Vietnam consisting of natural forests and plantations. We estimated the return period for a cyclone of this intensity to be 40 years. Plantations were almost twice as likely to suffer cyclone damage compared to natural forests. Logged natural forests (9–12 years after cessation of government-licensed logging) were surveyed before and after the storm with 2 years between measurements and remained a small biomass carbon sink (0.1 ± 0.3 Mg C ha−1 y−1) over this period. The cyclone reduced the carbon sink of recovering natural forests by an average of 0.85 Mg C ha−1 y−1, less than the carbon loss due to ongoing unlicensed logging. Restoration of forest landscapes in Southeast Asia requires a reduction in unlicensed logging and prevention of further conversion of degraded natural forests to plantations, particularly in landscapes prone to tropical cyclones where natural forests provide a resilient carbon sink.This article is part of the theme issue ‘Understanding forest landscape restoration: reinforcing scientific foundations for the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration’.

description: Après la crise politique subie par Madagascar, le taux de la pauvreté ne cesse d’augmenter. Et faute d’emploi, plusieurs Malgaches sont devenus Dahalo/voyou). Face à la persistance et accroissement continue de ces gens, la justice populaire intervient. La justice populaire constitue le juste rendu par la population, dont l’autorité chargée de rendre cette justice revient à elle-même. Elle est pratiquée presque partout dans les différentes régions de Madagascar, aussi bien dans les grandes villes que dans les zones enclavées. Est-il possible d’éradiquer la justice populaire? L’objectif de ce manuscrit est de montrer la perspective et la conséquence de la justice populaire au niveau de la vie quotidienne malgache. A part des observations participatives et la recherche bibliographique, un entretient ont été menée auprès de services concernés. Les résultats montrent que la loi même admet la justice populaire. On parle ici une forme de justice instituée par le « Fokonolona (population à la base)» en l’occurrence les « dina/amende». Le « dina ou amende édicte des mesures que la population concernée juge nécessaire à l’harmonisation de la vie économique et sociale ainsi que de la sécurité en fonction des réalités locales et pour la mise en œuvre de ses attributions essentielles destinées à assurer l’éducation civique des citoyens dans le cadre d’une structure basée sur l’autogestion populaire de la sécurité, pour promouvoir le développement et le progrès social et instaurer une discipline collective de préserver l’ordre et la sécurité publique». La vindicte populaire informelle constitue la justice populaire la plus pratiquée à Madagascar. La justice populaire ou la vindicte populaire est un acte par lequel certains membres de la population voire, l’ensemble de cette population, dans une société donnée se rendent justice eux-mêmes. Pour les défenseurs de droits de l’homme, droits inhérents à la nature humaine, sa pratique est jugée comme un acte banal, barbare et inhumain. La mauvaise gouvernance politique  et économique des dirigeants ne fait qu’aggraver la situation socio-économique de la population malgache: la pauvreté. L’Etat doit faire preuve d’une bonne gestion et agir avec éthique afin de regagner cette confiance.

description: From the photoluminescence of SiC microcrystals uniformly covering a rectangular mesa of the high transition temperature $T_c$ superconductor Bi$_2$Sr$_2$CaCu$_2$O$_{8+δ}$, the local surface temperature $T({\bm r})$ was directly measured during simultaneous sub-THz emission from the $N\sim10^3$ intrinsic Josephson junctions (IJJs) in the mesa. At high bias currents $I$ and low bath temperatures $T_{\rm bath}\lesssim~35$ K, the center of a large elliptical hot spot with $T({\bm r})> T_c$ jumps dramatically with little current-voltage characteristic changes. The hot spot doesn't alter the ubiquitous primary and secondary emission conditions: the ac Josephson relation and the electromagnetic cavity resonance excitation, respectively. Since the intense sub-THz emission was observed for high $T_{\rm bath}\gtrsim~50$ K in the low $I$ bias regime where hot spots are absent, hot spots can not provide the primary mechanisms for increasing the output power, the tunability, or for promoting the synchronization of the $N$ IJJs for the sub-THz emission, but can at best coexist non-mutualistically with the emission. No $T({\bm r})$ standing waves were observed.

A Comprehensive Framework for Quality Control and Enhancing Interpretation Capability of Point Cloud Data
Creators: name: Lin, Yi-chun
Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School
Year: 2022
Subjects: Photogrammetry and remote sensing

description: Emerging mobile mapping systems include a wide range of platforms, for instance, manned aircraft, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), terrestrial systems like trucks, tractors, robots, and backpacks, that can carry multiple sensors including LiDAR scanners, cameras, and georeferencing units. Such systems can maneuver in the field to quickly collect high-resolution data, capturing detailed information over an area of interest. With the increased volume and distinct characteristics of the data collected, practical quality control procedures that assess the agreement within/among datasets acquired by various sensors/systems at different times are crucial for accurate, robust interpretation. Moreover, the ability to derive semantic information from acquired data is the key to leveraging the complementary information captured by mobile mapping systems for diverse applications. This dissertation addresses these challenges for different systems (airborne and terrestrial), environments (urban and rural), and applications (agriculture, archaeology, hydraulics/hydrology, and transportation). In this dissertation, quality control procedures that utilize features automatically identified and extracted from acquired data are developed to evaluate the relative accuracy between multiple datasets. The proposed procedures do not rely on manually deployed ground control points or targets and can handle challenging environments such as coastal areas or agricultural fields. Moreover, considering the varying characteristics of acquired data, this dissertation improves several data processing/analysis techniques essential for meeting the needs of various applications. An existing ground filtering algorithm is modified to deal with variation in point density; digital surface model (DSM) smoothing and seamline control techniques are proposed for improving the orthophoto quality in agricultural fields. Finally, this dissertation derives semantic information for diverse applications, including 1) shoreline retreat quantification, 2) automated row/alley detection for plant phenotyping, 3) enhancement of orthophoto quality for tassel/panicle detection, and 4) point cloud semantic segmentation for mapping transportation corridors. The proposed approaches are tested using multiple datasets from UAV and wheel-based mobile mapping systems. Experimental results verify that the proposed approaches can effectively assess the data quality and provide reliable interpretation. This dissertation highlights the potential of modern mobile mapping systems to map challenging environments for a variety of applications.

description: A method is introduced to isolate and measure the electrical transport properties of individual single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) aligned on an ST-cut quartz, from room temperature down to 2 K. The diameter and chirality of the measured SWNTs are accurately defined from Raman spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy (AFM). A significant up-shift in the G-band of the resonance Raman spectra of the SWNTs is observed, which increases with increasing SWNTs diameter, and indicates a strong interaction with the quartz substrate. A semiconducting SWNT, with diameter 0.84 nm, shows Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid and Coulomb blockade behaviors at low temperatures. Another semiconducting SWNT, with a thinner diameter of 0.68 nm, exhibits a transition from the semiconducting state to an insulating state at low temperatures. These results elucidate some of the electrical properties of SWNTs in this unique configuration and help pave the way towards prospective device applications.

description: We show an equivalence relation between fault-tolerant circuits for a stabilizer code and fault-tolerant adiabatic processes for holonomic quantum computation (HQC), in the case where quantum information is encoded in the degenerated ground space of the system Hamiltonian. By this equivalence, we can systematically construct a fault-tolerant HQC scheme, which can geometrically implement a universal set of encoded quantum gates by adiabatically deforming the system Hamiltonian. During this process, quantum information is protected from low weight thermal excitations by an energy gap that does not change with the problem size.

description: We study the signatures for internal structure of dark matter in direct detection experiments in the context of asymmetric self-interacting dark matter. The self-interaction cross section of two dark matter particles at low energies is assumed to come close to saturating the S-wave unitarity bound, which requires the presence of a resonance near their scattering threshold. The universality of S-wave near-threshold resonances then implies that the low-energy scattering properties of a two-body bound state of dark matter particles are completely determined by its binding energy, irrespective of the underlying microphysics. The form factor for elastic scattering of the bound state from a nucleus and the possibility of breakup of the bound state produce new signatures in the nuclear recoil energy spectrum. If these features are observed in experiments, it will give a smoking-gun signature for the internal structure of dark matter.

description: The quantum properties of a helix-like shaped QCD string are studied in the context of the semi-classical Lund fragmentation model. It is shown how simple quantization rules combined with the causality considerations in the string fragmentation process describe the mass hierarchy of light pseudoscalar mesons. The quantized helix string model predicts observable quantum effects related to the threshold behaviour of the intrinsic transverse momentum of hadrons, and of the minimal transverse momentum difference between adjacent hadrons. The numerical fit of the properties of the QCD field breaking into ground state hadrons agree with astonishing precision with values obtained recently in the theory of knotted chromoelectric flux tubes.

Muslimah: Decolonising and Re-Presenting Contemporary British Cinematic Representation of Black Muslim Women
Creators: name: Redgrave, Naida

description: Much discussion has surrounded the notion of decolonisation¹, particularly in the context of education, which calls for a widening of study texts to include creators and writers of colour. Organisations such as The Black Curriculum Project (Stennett, 2019) seek to broaden representation of the racialised other within education (Arday and Mirza, 2018); meanwhile in media and the creative industries, the reproduction of ‘reactive tropes’ at the hands of ‘industry lore’ is also being challenged (Saha, 2018). Alongside these discussions, particularly in the creative industries, are explorations into how far the reverberations of a previously colonised world manifest themselves in our creation, understanding and absorption of art (Lorde, 2018). With these questions in mind, this thesis postulates a dearth of Black Muslim women in British narrative cinema, theorising alongside cultural and critical race scholarship, to interpret culturally dominant representations of the ‘other’ on screen. It merges issues of both seeing and showing with regards to representation, and posits the value of conscious spaces in which to rehearse an interrogated, theoretical undoing of long-established colonial ideologies (Young, 1996, pp.183-184), conversing with the notion of decolonisation in the process. In the spirit of Saidiya Hartman’s Wayward Lives (2019) in literature and Fairview (Drury, 2018) in theatre, this study rehearses a decolonised approach to (screen)writing, theorising the conscious undoing of colonial gaze when representing the Black Muslim woman on screen.

description: (Abridged) We investigate two modes of coupling the feedback energy from a central AGN to the neighboring gas in galaxy simulations: kinetic - velocity boost, and thermal - heating. We formulate kinetic feedback models for energy-driven wind (EDW) and momentum-driven wind (MDW), using two free parameters: feedback efficiency epsilon_f, and AGN wind velocity v_w. A novel numerical algorithm is implemented in the SPH code GADGET-3, to prevent the expansion of a hole in the gas distribution around the BH. We perform simulations of isolated evolution and merger of disk galaxies, of Milky-Way mass as well as lower and higher masses. We find that in the isolated galaxy BH kinetic feedback generates intermittent bipolar jet-like gas outflows. We infer that current prescriptions for BH subgrid physics in galaxy simulations can grow the BH to observed values even in an isolated disk galaxy. The BH growth is enhanced in a galaxy merger. Comparing the [M_BH - sigma_star] relation obtained in our simulations with observational data, we conclude that it is possible to find parameter sets for a fit in all the models, except for the case with MDW feedback in a galaxy merger, in which the BH is always too massive. The BH thermal feedback implementation of Springel, Di Matteo & Hernquist (2005) within the multiphase star-formation model is found to have negligible impact on gas properties; and the effect claimed in all previous studies is attributed to gas depletion around the BH by the creation of an artificial hole. The BH mass accretion rate in our simulations exhibit heavy fluctuations. The star formation rate is quenched with feedback by removal of gas. The CGM gas at galactocentric distances (20 - 100)/h kpc are found to give the best metallicity observational diagnostic to distinguish between BH models.

description: Novel fully discrete schemes are developed to numerically approximate a semilinear stochastic wave equation driven by additive space-time white noise. Spectral Galerkin method is proposed for the spatial discretization, and exponential time integrators involving linear functionals of the noise are introduced for the temporal approximation. The resulting fully discrete schemes are very easy to implement and allow for higher strong convergence rate in time than existing time-stepping schemes such as the Crank-Nicolson-Maruyama scheme and the stochastic trigonometric method. Particularly, it is shown that the new schemes achieve in time an order of $1- ε$ for arbitrarily small $ε>0$, which exceeds the barrier order $\frac{1}{2}$ established by Walsh. Numerical results confirm higher convergence rates and computational efficiency of the new schemes.

description: We propose a phase estimation protocol for optical interferometry that employs a probe state (containing on average n photons) obtained by squeezing each mode, separately, of a single photon path entangled Bell state. This scheme involves a Mach-Zehnder type interferometer for which each mode is squeezed after the first beam splitter. Information about the differential phase is extracted using a parity detection and the resulting measurement signal is super-resolving and supersensitive, with a minimum phase uncertainty 2/(n+1). This probe state can be generated with current technologies where n is in the order of many thousands of photons.
