description: We study a disordered classical Heisenberg magnet with uniformly antiferromagnetic interactions which are frustrated on account of their long-range Coulomb form, {\em i.e.} $J(r)\sim -A\ln r$ in $d=2$ and $J(r)\sim A/r$ in $d=3$. This arises naturally as the $T\rightarrow 0$ limit of the emergent interactions between vacancy-induced degrees of freedom in a class of diluted Coulomb spin liquids (including the classical Heisenberg antiferromagnets on checkerboard, SCGO and pyrochlore lattices) and presents a novel variant of a disordered long-range spin Hamiltonian. Using detailed analytical and numerical studies we establish that this model exhibits a very broad paramagnetic regime that extends to very large values of $A$ in both $d=2$ and $d=3$. In $d=2$, using the lattice-Green function based finite-size regularization of the Coulomb potential (which corresponds naturally to the underlying low-temperature limit of the emergent interactions between orphan-spins), we only find evidence that freezing into a glassy state occurs in the limit of strong coupling, $A=\infty$, while no such transition seems to exist at all in $d=3$. We also demonstrate the presence and importance of screening for such a magnet. We analyse the spectrum of the Euclidean random matrices describing a Gaussian version of this problem, and identify a corresponding quantum mechanical scattering problem.

description: Present work unveils novel magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) compatible glassy Ti-Zr-Nb-Hf-Si alloys designed based on a high entropy alloys approach, by exploring the central region of multi-component alloy phase space. Phase analysis has revealed the amorphous structure of developed alloys, with a higher thermal stability than the conventional metallic glasses. The alloys exhibit excellent corrosion properties in simulated body fluid. Most importantly, the weak paramagnetic nature (ultralow magnetic susceptibility) and superior radiopacity (high X-ray attenuation coefficients) offer compatibility with medical diagnostic imaging systems thereby opening unexplored realms for biomedical applications.

description: Plant biosecurity surveillance and diagnostics of viral pathogens is hampered by the fact that current available molecular assays are laborious, time consuming, expensive and only able to detect a subset of known plant viruses/viroids. Imported plants into Australia spend up to two years in quarantine resulting in a drastic impact on Australian trade both economically and socially. Recent studies demonstrated the detection of viral pathogens in the small RNA fraction of plant species. This offers an unprecedented paradigm shift to detect all known and novel viruses/viroids in a single small RNA next generation sequencing experiment that is also more cost-effective than current indexed PCR assays.

description: We study the spectrum of complete noncompact manifolds with bounded curvature and positive injectivity radius. We give general conditions which imply that their essential spectrum has an arbitrarily large finite number of gaps. In particular, for any noncompact covering of a compact manifold, there is a metric on the base so that the lifted metric has an arbitrarily large finite number of gaps in its essential spectrum. Also, for any complete noncompact manifold with bounded curvature and positive injectivity radius we construct a metric uniformly equivalent to the given one (also of bounded curvature and positive injectivity radius) with an arbitrarily large finite number of gaps in its essential spectrum.

Holographic Calculation for Large Interval Rényi Entropy at High Temperature

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In this paper, we study the holographic Rényi entropy of a large interval on a circle at high temperature for the two-dimensional conformal field theory (CFT) dual to pure AdS$_3$ gravity. In the field theory, the Rényi entropy is encoded in the CFT partition function on $n$-sheeted torus connected with each other by a large branch cut. As proposed by Chen and Wu [Large interval limit of Rényi entropy at high temperature, arXiv:1412.0763], the effective way to read the entropy in the large interval limit is to insert a complete set of state bases of the twist sector at the branch cut. Then the calculation transforms into an expansion of four-point functions in the twist sector with respect to $e^{-\frac{2πTR}{n}}$. By using the operator product expansion of the twist operators at the branch points, we read the first few terms of the Rényi entropy, including the leading and next-to-leading contributions in the large central charge limit. Moreover, we show that the leading contribution is actually captured by the twist vacuum module. In this case by the Ward identity the four-point functions can be derived from the correlation function of four twist operators, which is related to double interval entanglement entropy. Holographically, we apply the recipe in [T. Faulkner, The entanglement Rényi entropies of disjoint intervals in AdS/CFT, arXiv:1303.7221] and [T. Barrella et al., Holographic entanglement beyond classical gravity, J. High Energy Phys. 09 (2013) 109] to compute the classical Rényi entropy and its one-loop quantum correction, after imposing a new set of monodromy conditions. The holographic classical result matches exactly with the leading contribution in the field theory up to $e^{-4πTR}$ and $l^6$, while the holographical one-loop contribution is in exact agreement with next-to-leading results in field theory up to $e^{-\frac{6πTR}{n}}$ and $l^4$ as well.

The framework is that of the tangent sphere bundle of $M$. We generalise to a Riemannian setting some results from the theory of hypersurfaces in flat Euclidean space. We give new applications and examples of the associated Euler-Lagrange differential systems.

description: The growth of silicon crystals from a melt contained in a granulate crucible significantly differs from the classical growth techniques because of the granulate feedstock and the continuous growth process. We performed a systematic study of impurities and structural defects in several such crystals with diameters up to 60 mm. The possible origin of various defects is discussed and attributed to feedstock (concentration of transition metals), growth setup (carbon concentration), or growth process (dislocation density), showing the potential for further optimization. A distinct correlation between crystal defects and bulk carrier lifetime is observed. A bulk carrier lifetime with values up to 600 μs on passivated surfaces of dislocation-free parts of the crystal is currently achieved.

description: Continuous roll-to-roll fabrication is essential for transferring the idea of bio-inspired, fibrillar dry adhesives into large-scale, synthetic, high-performance adhesive tapes. Toward this aim, we investigated process parameters that allow us to control the morphology and the resulting adhesion of mushroom-shaped micropatterned surfaces. Flexible silicone templates enabled the replication process of the polyurethane acrylate pre-polymer involving UV-light-induced cross-linking. For this paper, we particularly tailored the polyurethane acrylate pre-polymer by adding chemical components to tune UV curing kinetics and to reduce oxygen inhibition of radicals. We found that higher intensities of the UV light and faster reaction kinetics improved the quality of the microstructures, i.e., a larger cap diameter of the mushroom tips was achieved. The polymer blend U6E4 exhibited the fastest curing kinetics, which resulted in a micromorphology similar to that of the Ni-shim master structures. Best adhesion results were obtained for adhesive tapes made from U6E4 with 116 kPa pull-off stress, 1.4 N cm−1 peel strength and 71 kPa shear strength. In addition, repeated attachment–detachment tests over 100,000 cycles demonstrated strong robustness and reusability.

description: This paper addresses the issue of integrating agents with a variety of external resources and services, as found in enterprise computing environments. We propose an approach for interfacing agents and existing message routing and mediation engines based on the endpoint concept from the enterprise integration patterns of Hohpe and Woolf. A design for agent endpoints is presented, and an architecture for connecting the Jason agent platform to the Apache Camel enterprise integration framework using this type of endpoint is described. The approach is illustrated by means of a business process use case, and a number of Camel routes are presented. These demonstrate the benefits of interfacing agents to external services via a specialised message routing tool that supports enterprise integration patterns.

description: Cutaneous melanoma is the most aggressive type of skin cancer with a not-sufficient clinical outcome. High tumor mutation rates often hamper a remedial treatment, creating the need for palliative care in many patients. To reduce pain and burden, local palliation often includes cryo-ablation, immunotherapy via injection of IL2, or electrochemotherapy. Yet, a fraction of patients and lesions do not respond to those therapies. To reach even these resistances in a redox-mediated way, we treated skin biopsies from human melanoma ex vivo with cold physical plasma (kINPen MED plasma jet). This partially ionized gas generates a potent mixture of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Physical plasmas have been shown to be potent antitumor agents in preclinical melanoma and clinical head and neck cancer research. The innovation of this technology lies in its ease-of-use without anesthesia, as the “cold” plasma temperature of the kINPen MED does not exceed 37 °C. In metastatic melanoma skin biopsies from six patients, we identified a marked increase of apoptosis with plasma treatment ex vivo. This had an impact on the chemokine/cytokine profile of the cultured biopsies, e.g., three of six patient-derived biopsy supernatants showed an apparent decrease in VEGF compared to non-plasma treated specimens. Moreover, the baseline release levels of 24 chemokines/cytokines investigated may serve as a useful tool for future research on melanoma skin biopsy treatments. Our findings suggest a clinically useful role of cold physical plasma therapy in palliation of cutaneous melanoma lesions, possibly in a combinatory setting with other immune therapies.

description: Bei der Umsetzung von Bildung für nachhaltige Entwicklung (BNE) wird der LehrerInnenbildung eine zentrale Rolle zugewiesen. Aktuelle Untersuchungen zeigen jedoch, dass eine entsprechende Verankerung des BNE-Konzepts in der universitären Lehrerbildung kaum erkennbar ist. Bislang wurden nur ansatzweise Kompetenzen definiert, über die Lehrkräfte im Kontext von BNE verfügen sollten. Die explorative Studie geht daher der Frage nach, welche Kenntnisse und Fähigkeiten Lehrkräfte für einen BNE-spezifischen Unterricht benötigen und orientiert sich dabei am Modell der professionellen Handlungskompetenz. Methodisch wurde zunächst eine zweistufige Delphi-Studie durchgeführt. Auf dieser Basis wurde ein Fragebogen entwickelt, mit Hilfe dessen die extrahierten Kompetenzen quantitativ überprüft wurden. Im Hinblick auf eine spätere disziplinübergreifende Curriculums-Konstruktion sollten darüber hinaus die BNE-spezifischen Kenntnisse und Fähigkeiten im Sinne der professionellen Handlungskompetenz als „Fachwissen“, „Fachdidaktisches Wissen“ und „Pädagogisches Wissen“ klassifiziert werden.

description: In this paper, we propose a server structure proposal and automatic performance verification technology which proposes and verifies an appropriate server structure on Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) cloud with baremetal servers, container based virtual servers and virtual machines. Recently, cloud services have been progressed and providers provide not only virtual machines but also baremetal servers and container based virtual servers. However, users need to design an appropriate server structure for their requirements based on 3 types quantitative performances and users need much technical knowledge to optimize their system performances. Therefore, we study a technology which satisfies users' performance requirements on these 3 types IaaS cloud. Firstly, we measure performances of a baremetal server, Docker containers, KVM (Kernel based Virtual Machine) virtual machines on OpenStack with virtual server number changing. Secondly, we propose a server structure proposal technology based on the measured quantitative data. A server structure proposal technology receives an abstract template of OpenStack Heat and function/performance requirements and then creates a concrete template with server specification information. Thirdly, we propose an automatic performance verification technology which executes necessary performance tests automatically on provisioned user environments according to the template.

description: Despite progress in oncotherapy, cancer is still among the deadliest diseases in the Western world, emphasizing the demand for novel treatment avenues. Cold physical plasma has shown antitumor activity in experimental models of, e.g., glioblastoma, colorectal cancer, breast carcinoma, osteosarcoma, bladder cancer, and melanoma in vitro and in vivo. In addition, clinical case reports have demonstrated that physical plasma reduces the microbial contamination of severely infected tumor wounds and ulcerations, as is often seen with head and neck cancer patients. These antimicrobial and antitumor killing properties make physical plasma a promising tool for the treatment of head and neck cancer. Moreover, this type of cancer is easily accessible from the outside, facilitating the possibility of several rounds of topical gas plasma treatment of the same patient. Gas plasma treatment of head and neck cancer induces diverse effects via the deposition of a plethora of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species that mediate redox-biochemical processes, and ultimately, selective cancer cell death. The main advantage of medical gas plasma treatment in oncology is the lack of adverse events and significant side effects compared to other treatment modalities, such as surgical approaches, chemotherapeutics, and radiotherapy, making plasma treatment an attractive strategy for the adjuvant and palliative treatment of head and neck cancer. This review outlines the state of the art and progress in investigating physical plasma as a novel treatment modality in the therapy of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.

description: The Core Trustworthy Data Repository Requirements were developed by the DSA–WDS Partnership Working Group on Repository Audit and Certification, a Working Group (WG) of the Research Data Alliance . The goal of the effort was to create a set of harmonized common requirements for certification of repositories at the core level, drawing from criteria already put in place by the Data Seal of Approval (DSA: www.datasealofapproval.org) and the ICSU World Data System (ICSU-WDS: https://www.icsu-wds.org/services/certification). An additional goal of the project was to develop common procedures to be implemented by both DSA and ICSU-WDS. Ultimately, the DSA and ICSU-WDS plan to collaborate on a global framework for repository certification that moves from the core to the extended (nestor-Seal DIN 31644), to the formal (ISO 16363) level.

description: Emergent gravity can be applied to a large $N$ matrix model by considering the vacuum of a noncommutative (NC) Coulomb branch that satisfies the Heisenberg algebra. Due to the fact that IR fluctuations in the NC Coulomb branch always pair with UV fluctuations, this UV/IR mixing is extendable to a macroscopic scale. These vacuum fluctuations in the NC Coulomb branch are described by a four-dimensional NC $U(1)$ gauge theory. The order parameter for the vacuum fluctuations is given by random four-vectors that have their own causal structure in the commutative limit unlike the conventional cosmological models based on a scalar field theory coupled to gravity. We show that their causal structure results in the different nature of gravitational interactions so that space-like fluctuations give rise to the repulsive gravitational force while time-like fluctuations generate the attractive gravitational force. Given the fact that the fluctuations are random in nature and we live in a (3+1)-dimensional spacetime, the ratio of the repulsive vs. attractive components ends up being 3:1 = 75:25, which is interestingly consistent with the dark components of the current universe. If we include ordinary matters acting as an attractive gravitational force, the emergent gravity could more accurately explain the dark side of our universe.

description: Indeterminate cystic kidney lesions found incidentally on abdominal imaging are an increasingly prevalent diagnostic challenge. The standard workup includes Bosniak classification with contrast-enhanced CT or MRI. However, these tests are costly and not without risks. Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) is a relatively new imaging technique with lower risk of adverse events than iodine-containing contrast or gadolinium. In our review of the evidence for characterization of cystic kidney lesions with CEUS, CEUS displayed sensitivity (89–100%) and negative predictive value (86–100%) comparable to contrast-enhanced CT or MRI with no decrease in specificity compared to CT and only a slight decrease compared to MRI.

description: The Lyman alpha forest power spectrum has been measured on large scales by the BOSS survey in SDSS-III at $z\sim 2.3$, has been shown to agree well with linear theory predictions, and has provided the first measurement of Baryon Acoustic Oscillations at this redshift. However, the power at small scales, affected by non-linearities, has not been well examined so far. We present results from a variety of hydrodynamic simulations to predict the redshift space non-linear power spectrum of the Lyman Alpha transmission for several models, testing the dependence on resolution and box size. A new fitting formula is introduced to facilitate the comparison of our simulation results with observations and other simulations. The non-linear power spectrum has a generic shape determined by a transition scale from linear to non-linear anisotropy, and a Jeans scale below which the power drops rapidly. In addition, we predict the two linear bias factors of the Lyman Alpha forest and provide a better physical interpretation of their values and redshift evolution. The dependence of these bias factors and the non-linear power on the amplitude and slope of the primordial fluctuations power spectrum, the temperature-density relation of the intergalactic medium, and the mean Lyman Alpha transmission, as well as the redshift evolution, is investigated and discussed in detail. A preliminary comparison to the observations shows that the predicted redshift distortion parameter is in good agreement with the recent determination of Blomqvist et al., but the density bias factor is lower than observed. We make all our results publicly available in the form of tables of the non-linear power spectrum that is directly obtained from all our simulations, and parameters of our fitting formula.

description: Plasma medicine is gaining increasing attention and is moving from basic research into clinical practice. While areas of application are diverse, much research has been conducted assessing the use of cold atmospheric pressure plasma (CAP) in wound healing and cancer treatment—two applications with entirely different goals. In wound healing, a tissue-stimulating effect is intended, whereas cancer therapy aims at killing malignant cells. In this review, we provide an overview of the latest clinical and some preclinical research on the efficacy of CAP in wound healing and cancer therapy. Furthermore, we discuss the current understanding of molecular signaling mechanisms triggered by CAP that grant CAP its antiseptic and tissue regenerating or anti-proliferative and cell death-inducing properties. For the efficacy of CAP in wound healing, already substantial evidence from clinical studies is available, while evidence for therapeutic effects of CAP in oncology is mainly from in vitro and in vivo animal studies. Efforts to elucidate the mode of action of CAP suggest that different components, such as ultraviolet (UV) radiation, electromagnetic fields, and reactive species, may act synergistically, with reactive species being regarded as the major effector by modulating complex and concentration-dependent redox signaling pathways.

description: We study cohomologies on an almost complex manifold $(M, J)$, defined using the Nijenhuis-Lie derivations $\mathcal{L}_J$ and $\mathcal{L}_N$ induced from the almost complex structure $J$ and its Nijenhuis tensor $N$, regarded as vector-valued forms on $M$. We show how one of these, the $N$-cohomology $H^{\bullet}_N (M)$, can be used to distinguish non-isomorphic non-integrable almost complex structures on $M$. Another one, the $J$-cohomology $H^{\bullet}_J (M)$, is familiar in the integrable case but we extend its definition and applicability to the case of non-integrable almost complex structures. The $J$-cohomology encodes whether a complex manifold satisfies the $\partial \bar{\partial}$-lemma, and more generally in the non-integrable case the $J$-cohomology encodes whether $(M, J)$ satisfies the $\mathrm{d} \mathcal{L}_J$-lemma, which we introduce and motivate in this paper. We discuss several explicit examples in detail, including a non-integrable example. We also show that $H^k_J$ is finite-dimensional for compact integrable $(M, J)$, and use spectral sequences to establish partial results on the finite-dimensionality of $H^k_J$ in the compact non-integrable case.

description: The aim of this paper is to introduce the notion of restricted Hom- Lie superalgebras. This class of algebras is a generalization of both restricted Hom-Lie algebras and restricted Lie superalgebras. In this paper, we present a way to obtain restricted Hom-Lie superalgebras from the classical restricted Lie superalgebras along with algebra en- domorphisms. Homomorphisms relations between restricted Hom-Lie superalgebras are defined and studied. Also, we obtain some proper- ties of p-maps and restrictable Hom-Lie superalgebras.

description: The number of Android smartphone and tablet users has experienced a rapid growth in the past few years and it raises users' awareness on the privacy and security of their mobile devices. The features of openness and extensibility make Android unique, attractive and competitive but meanwhile vulnerable to malicious attack. There are lots of users rooting their Android devices for some useful functions, which are not originally provided to developers and users, such as backup and taking screenshot. However, after observing the danger of rooting devices, the developers begin to look for other non-root alternatives to implement those functions. ADB workaround is one of the best known non-root alternatives to help app gain higher privilege on Android. It used to be considered as a secure practice until some cases of ADB privilege leakage have been found. In this project, we design an approach and implement a couple of tools to detect the privilege leakage in Android apps. We apply them to analyse three real-world apps with millions of users, and successfully identify three ADB privilege leaks from them. Moreover, we also conduct an exploitation of the ADB privilege in one app, and therefore we prove the existence of vulnerabilities in ADB workaround. Based on out study, we propose some suggestion to help developers create their apps that could not only satisfy users' needs but also protect users' privacy from similar attacks in future.

Universal range corrections to the Efimov trimer for a class of paths to the unitary limit

description: Using potential models we analyze range corrections to the universal law dictated by the Efimov theory of three bosons. In the case of finite-range interactions we have observed that, at first order, it is necessary to supplement the theory with one finite-range parameter, $Γ_n^3$, for each specific $n$-level [Kievsky and Gattobigio, Phys. Rev. A {\bf 87}, 052719 (2013)]. The value of $Γ_n^3$ depends on the way the potentials is changed to tune the scattering length toward the unitary limit. In this work we analyze a particular path in which the length $r_B=a-a_B$, measuring the difference between the two-body scattering length $a$ and the energy scattering length $a_B$, results almost constant. Analyzing systems with very different scales, as atomic or nuclear systems, we observe that the finite-range parameter remains almost constant along the path with a numerical value of $Γ_0^3\approx 0.87$ for the ground state level. This observation suggests the possibility of constructing a single universal function that incorporate finite-range effects for this class of paths. The result is used to estimate the three-body parameter $κ_*$ in the case of real atomic systems brought to the unitary limit thought a broad Feshbach resonances. Furthermore, we show that the finite-range parameter can be put in relation with the two-body contact $C_2$ at the unitary limit.

description: A novel negative oxygen-isotope (16O/18O) effect (OIE) on the low-temperature tetragonal phase transition temperature T_{LTT} was observed in La_{2-x}Ba_xCuO_4 (x = 1/8) using high-resolution neutron powder diffraction. The corresponding OIE exponent alpha(T_{LTT}) = - 0.36(5) has the same sign as alpha(T_{so}) = -0.57(6) found for the spin-stripe order temperature T_so. The fact that the LTT transition is accompanied by charge ordering (CO) implies the presence of an OIE also for the CO temperature T_co. Furthermore, a temperature dependent shortening of the c-axis with the heavier isotope is observed. These results combined with model calculations demonstrate that anharmonic electron-lattice interactions are essential for all transitions observed in the stripe phase of cuprates.
