Singlet-triplet avoided crossings and effective $g$ factor versus spatial orientation of spin-orbit-coupled quantum dots

description: We study avoided crossings opened by spin-orbit interaction in the energy spectra of one- and two-electron anisotropic quantum dots in perpendicular magnetic field. We find that for simultaneously present Rashba and Dresselhaus interactions the width of avoided crossings and the effective $g$ factor depend on the dot orientation within (001) crystal plane. The extreme values of these quantities are obtained for [110] and [1$\bar{1}$0] orientations of the dot. The width of singlet-triplet avoided crossing changes between these two orientations by as much as two orders of magnitude. The discussed modulation results from orientation-dependent strength of the Zeeman interaction which tends to polarize the spins in the direction of the external magnetic field and thus remove the spin-orbit coupling effects.

description: Class I methanol masers are believed to be produced in the shock-excited environment around star-forming regions. Many authors have argued that the appearance of various subsets of class I masers may be indicative of specific evolutionary stages of star formation or excitation conditions. Until recently, however, no major interferometer was capable of imaging the important 36 GHz transition. We report on Expanded Very Large Array observations of the 36 GHz methanol masers and Submillimeter Array observations of the 229 GHz methanol masers in DR21(OH), DR21N, and DR21W. The distribution of 36 GHz masers in the outflow of DR21(OH) is similar to that of the other class I methanol transitions, with numerous multitransition spatial overlaps. At the site of the main continuum source in DR21(OH), class I masers at 36 and 229 GHz are found in virtual overlap with class II 6.7 GHz masers. To the south of the outflow, the 36 GHz masers are scattered over a large region but usually do not appear coincident with 44 GHz masers. In DR21W we detect an "S-curve" signature in Stokes V that implies a large value of the magnetic field strength if interpreted as due to Zeeman splitting, suggesting either that class I masers may exist at higher densities than previously believed or that the direct Zeeman interpretation of S-curve Stokes V profiles in class I masers may be incorrect. We find a diverse variety of different maser phenomena in these sources, suggestive of differing physical conditions among them.

description: This paper introduces the shape mixtures of the skew scale mixtures of normal distribution which are contained additional shape parameters to regulate skewness and kurtosis. We present a finite mixture model for this new family of distributions, which is a novel model-based tool for clustering heterogeneous data in the presence of skewed and heavy-tailed outcomes. The maximum likelihood estimates of the parameters of the proposed models are obtained by developing an Expectation Conditional Maximization Either algorithm. The numerical performance of the proposed methodology is illustrated through simulated and real data examples.

description: Nano Ag-doped Fe3O4@mesoporous TiO2 core–shell hollow spheres (h-Fe3O4@m-TiO2/Ag) were efficiently prepared. They were fully characterized by FT-IR, FE-SEM, EDX, ICP, TGA, XRD, and BET methods. In addition, their magnetic properties were determined by means of the VSM method. Also, the ρshell of the prepared hollow Fe3O4 micro-particles was calculated, being found just slightly lighter than that of solid sphere-like Fe3O4. The catalytic activity of this novel catalyst system was successfully examined as a novel catalyst system in A3 coupling reactions (aldehyde + amine + acetylene). This highly active magnetic catalyst was easily separated using an external magnet and re-used in five consecutive runs in the model reaction without appreciable loss of its catalytic activity.

description: Expansion of the U.S. ethanol industry hinges largely on extension of the Federal fuel excise tax exemption and corn prices. For ethanol to be competitive in the 1990's without the Federal subsidy, crude oil prices would have to increase substantially. This report examines production costs and the relative competitiveness of the ethanol industry. The report evaluates structural characteristics of the industry, including economies of scale and the relative economics of the two primary manufacturers, wet- and dry-mill plants.
Compliant(ish) : norm evasion and avoidance in doping, tax, and Indigenous rights
Creators: name: Lai, Dominic
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: Norms literature assume that opponents of norms do not comply with its prescriptions, and will actively reject its’ logic patterns. While this may describe some patterns of norm contestation, actors that openly contest generally accepted norms may incur unbearable penalties. Other theories presume that a state may accept a norm’s logic patterns, but not comply as a result of an inability to comply. Evasion and avoidance present a different way of envisioning how actors may approach norms, compliance, and logic systems by delinking compliance and acceptance of normative logic. These concepts introduce opportunism as a key variable that also challenges presumptions about actor intentions. By examining the cases of doping in sport, tax law, and Indigenous rights, a pattern emerges where actors have been able to manipulate a norm’s compliance signals to technically comply with a norm while defeating the norm’s objectives. In turn, this allows actors to enjoy the benefits of non-compliance or partial compliance and compliance simultaneously, and escape detection by appearing to be compliant with the norm itself. These two concepts implicitly challenge the concept that compliance is a binary variable, and builds on a growing literature that suggests that the grey area between the poles of compliance and non-compliance may be more complex than expected.

description: New neutrino states ν_b, sterile under the Standard Model interactions, can be coupled to baryons via the isoscalar vector currents that are much stronger than the Standard Model weak interactions. If some fraction of solar neutrinos oscillate into ν_b on their way to Earth, the coherently enhanced elastic ν_b-nucleus scattering can generate a strong signal in the dark matter detectors. For the interaction strength a few hundred times stronger than the weak force, the elastic ν_b-nucleus scattering via new baryonic currents may account for the existing anomalies in the direct detection dark matter experiments at low recoil. We point out that for solar neutrino energies the baryon-current-induced inelastic scattering is suppressed, so that the possible enhancement of new force is not in conflict with signals at dedicated neutrino detectors. We check this explicitly by calculating the ν_b-induced deuteron breakup, and the excitation of 4.4 MeV γ-line in ^{12}C. Stronger-than-weak force coupled to baryonic current implies the existence of new abelian gauge group U(1)_B with a relatively light gauge boson.

description: This report summarizes the outcomes of Task 4.4 of the TeRRItoria project: International and European synergies and exchanges. It outlines the initial concept of the task in contrast to ongoing activities of the project, presenting the original action plan in support of the co-design phase of TeRRItoria in which the territorial experiments were being formalized in co-creation way. The original action plan was focused on 5 lines of action:
 1. Brainstorming/mutual learning sessions,
 2. Exchanges with similar projects focused on territorial aspects of RRI,
 3. On-site visits to governance practices identified in WP3,
 4. Identification of specific training/learning opportunities,
 5. Participation in conferences and seminars. Subsequently, the report discusses the adaptation of the action plan as required by the modification of work due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and its impact both on project work and the modification of possibilities for the partnership, especially for partners leading the TeRRItoria territorial experiments in their interaction with European and international actors of interests. The general concept of the adopted action plan was twofold:
 1. Facilitating the needs of the Territorial organization
 2. Fostering synergies in the environment of sister projects The report outlines the actions that were successfully implemented based on the quick adaptation of the related work packages to the crisis conditions and those that will require further investment and reflection past the project life-cycle.

description: The Standard Model of particle interactions is extended to include fermion doublets (n,e)_R transforming under the gauge group SU(2)_R such that n is a Dirac scotino (dark-matter fermion), with odd R parity. Based on recent CDMS data, it is shown how this new dark left-right model (DLRM2) favors a Z' gauge boson at around 1 or 2 TeV and be observable at the LHC. The new W_R gauge bosons may also contribute significantly to lepton-flavor-changing processes such as mu to e gamma and mu-e conversion in a nucleus or muonic atom.

description: Gaseous metal discs around single white dwarfs have been discovered recently. They are thought to develop from disrupted planetary bodies. Spectroscopic analyses will allow us to study the composition of extrasolar planetary material. We investigate in detail the first object for which a gas disc was discovered (SDSS J122859.93+104032.9). Therefor we perform non-LTE modelling of viscous gas discs by computing the detailed vertical structure and line spectra. The models are composed of carbon, oxygen, magnesium, silicon, calcium, and hydrogen with chemical abundances typical for Solar System asteroids. Line asymmetries are modelled by assuming spiral-arm and eccentric disc structures as suggested by hydrodynamical simulations. The observed infrared Ca II emission triplet can be modelled with a hydrogen-deficient metal gas disc located inside of the tidal disruption radius, with an effective temperature of about 6000 K and a surface mass density of 0.3 g/cm^2. The inner radius is well constrained at about 0.64 Solar radii. The line profile asymmetry can be reproduced by either a spiral-arm structure or an eccentric disc, the latter being favoured by its time variability behaviour. Such structures, reaching from 0.64 to 1.5 Solar radii, contain a mass of about 3 to 6*10^21 g, the latter equivalent to the mass of a 135-km diameter Solar System asteroid.

description: We report spectral, imaging, and variability results from four new XMM-Newton observations and two new Chandra observations of high-redshift (z > 4) radio-loud quasars (RLQs). Our targets span lower, and more representative, values of radio loudness than those of past samples of high-redshift RLQs studied in the X-ray regime. Our spectral analyses show power-law X-ray continua with a mean photon index, Γ=1.74 +/- 0.11, that is consistent with measurements of lower redshift RLQs. These continua are likely dominated by jet-linked X-ray emission, and they follow the expected anti-correlation between photon index and radio loudness. We find no evidence of iron Kα~ emission lines or Compton-reflection continua. Our data also constrain intrinsic X-ray absorption in these RLQs. We find evidence for significant absorption (N_H ~ 10^22 cm^-2) in one RLQ of our sample (SDSS J0011+1446); the incidence of X-ray absorption in our sample appears plausibly consistent with that for high-redshift RLQs that have higher values of radio loudness. In the Chandra observation of PMN J221-2719 we detect apparent extended (~ 14 kpc) X-ray emission that is most likely due to a jet; the X-ray luminosity of this putative jet is ~2% that of the core. The analysis of a 4.9 GHz VLA image of PMN J221-2719 reveals a structure that matches the X-ray extension found in this source. We also find evidence for long-term (450-460 days) X-ray variability by 80-100% in two of our targets.

description: A subcritical transition to turbulence in magnetized Keplerian shear flows is investigated using a statistical approach. Three-dimensional numerical simulations of the shearing box equations with zero net magnetic flux are employed to determine the transition from decaying to sustained turbulence as a function of the magnetic Reynolds number Rm. The results reveal no clear transition to sustained turbulence as the average lifetime of the transients grows as an exponential function of Rm, in accordance with a type-II supertransient law.

description: Consumers should benefit from the new livestock growth hormone technology in terms of slightly lower prices in the long run. Rapid and widespread adoption of growth hormones may affect many markets, but the effects are generally small even in the short run. Only under extremely optimistic conditions would government commodity program outlays be reduced in the long run. Most other longrun effects are indistinguishable from normal year-to-year changes. Hormone use will encourage structural trends already underway in the livestock industries, namely specialization and fewer but larger farms. This study looks at the extent of possible changes brought about by 100-percent adoption of growth hormones.

description: Disseminating reliable information and data is a critical component of an effective risk communication and community engagement strategy to combat any pandemic. During the current public health crisis, many agencies and media outlets are reporting health outcome information based on the overall population of Chicagoland geographic regions. The current study demonstrates that by not accounting for the significant loss of life in Long-Term Care Facilities (LTCF), commonly quoted public health outcome indicators are likely to be inaccurate. Identification of regions with high levels of mortality and infection is a prerequisite for an effective mitigation strategy to protect the public and allocate resources. The common practice for visualizing pandemic information is to rely on overall population loss figures and ratios. The current study demonstrates that by doing so, the spatial distribution of Chicagoland critical areas is likely to be distorted. In the current crisis, inequitable public health outcomes are associated with economic and social factors. Separating Chicagoland mortality into two groups, LTCF and household unit populations, and focusing on the latter, allows us to better discern associations with socioeconomic variables for the general population. This finding has a significant implication on the variable selection and model specification for social vulnerability studies.

description: This thesis on tactical demand and capacity management for medical practices consists of four main parts. In the first part, we analyze the general planning and control decisions that need to be taken by a practice manager when opening and then running a medical practice. We further present a best-case data set containing all relevant information on interactions between patient and practice. We compare several real-world appointment data sets to this best-case data set, commenting on the consequences of not collecting specific data. We discuss the fundamental problem of defining model parameters from data and give recommendations for modelers and practitioners to bridge the gap between theory and practice. In the second part, we present a flexible analytical queueing model to investigate the relationship between the physician's daily capacity, the panel size, and the distribution of indirect waiting times of patients. Essential features of the basic model are the consideration of queue length-dependent parameters such as the appointment request rate, the no-show probability, and the rescheduling probability. We present several extensions to the basic model, including the consideration of queue length-dependent service times. Finally, we investigate the model behavior by conducting extensive numerical experiments. In the third part, we propose deterministic integer linear programs that decide on the intake of new patients into panels over time, considering the future panel development. Here, we minimize the deviation between the expected panel workload and the physician's capacity over time. We classify panel patients and define transition probabilities from one class to another from one period to the next. Experiments are conducted with parameters based on real-world data. We use the programs to define upper bounds on the number of patients in a patient class to be accepted in a period through solving the programs several times with different demand inputs. When we use those upper bounds in a stochastic discrete-event environment, the expected differences between workload and capacity can be significantly reduced over time, considering several future periods instead of one in the optimization. Using a detailed classification of new patients decreases the expected differences further. In the last part, we present further integer linear programs to decide on the intake of new patients. For example, we consider several physicians with overlapping panels and capacities as decision variables. Last but not least, we investigate how the queueing model and the panel management programs could be combined.

description: A detailed account of a recently developed method [Marom et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 105, 046801 (2010)] to quantify the registry mismatch in layered materials is presented. The registry index, which was originally defined for planar hexagonal boron-nitride, is extended to treat graphitic systems and generalized to describe multi-layered nanotubes. It is shown that using simple geometric considerations it is possible to capture the complex physical features of interlayer sliding in layered materials. The intuitive nature of the presented model and the efficiency of the related computations suggest that the method can be used as a powerful characterization tool for interlayer interactions in complex layered systems.

Im dritten Teil diskutierten Publikum und Podium über die Frage „Was ist Qualität?“. Diese vermeintlich banale Frage stand am Anfang der Gründung der TH Darmstadt im Jahr 1877. Sie führt aber auch in die Zukunft, wenn wir über Nachhaltigkeit sprechen wie die Diskussion und der gesamte Tag zeigte. Damit ist die Richtung für die kommenden 125 Jahre gegeben. Die hier vorliegende Reflektion des Jubiläums besteht aus fünf Teilen 1. Einführung, 2. Mut zur Veränderung! 3. Einfach oder Zukunft? 4. Was ist Qualität? 5. Verantwortung und Zukunft.
Expectations of reciprocity in the law of armed conflict
Creators: name: Peeler, Bryan
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: The expectation of reciprocity has a long history in international law generally and the law of armed conflict in particular. When negotiating international agreements states often include provisions allowing for negative in-kind responses as remedies for violations of treaty obligations. Historically, this kind of reciprocity has been central to the law of armed conflict. According to some, though, the purpose of the law of armed conflict has changed. Instead of a tool protecting the interests of states involved in armed conflict, the purpose of the law is now to limit the suffering of those caught in war-zones; both combatants and non-combatants alike. Under this conception, the expectation of reciprocity has no role to play when states consider their legal obligations towards their opponents in an armed conflict. Contrary to this view, I argue that an expectation of reciprocity continues to be an important factor when states consider their law of armed conflict obligations. First, by taking a more nuanced view of reciprocity than just negative in-kind responses, I show how expectations of reciprocity still exist within the law of armed conflict. Second, using Hart’s understanding of law as the union of primary and secondary rules, I demonstrate how states have preserved the expectation of reciprocity – both within the law as a secondary rule and beyond the law as a policy option – to respond in the face of continued non-compliance with law of armed conflict obligations by an opponent. Lastly, by taking the multi-actor setting of state decision-making seriously, I show how these more nuanced forms of reciprocity make themselves felt in debates about law of armed conflict obligations. The case studies of this dissertation concentrate on the Geneva Conventions and the Protocols Additional to the Geneva Conventions. The first case study illustrates the many places where the law maintains expectations of reciprocity. The final two cases examine US policy regarding Prisoner of War obligations in the Vietnam War and the Global War on Terror to show how states make use of the more nuanced forms of reciprocity in these secondary rules in response to continued non-compliance by an enemy.

description: In 1964 W. Kohn published the milestone paper "Theory of the insulating state'", according to which insulators and metals differ in their ground state. Even before the system is excited by any probe, a different organization of the electrons is present in the ground state and this is the key feature discriminating between insulators and metals. However, the theory of the insulating state remained somewhat incomplete until the late 1990s; this review addresses the recent developments. The many-body ground wavefunction of any insulator is characterized by means of geometrical concepts (Berry phase, connection, curvature, Chern number, quantum metric). Among them, it is the quantum metric which sharply characterizes the insulating state of matter. The theory deals on a common ground with several kinds of insulators: band insulators, Mott insulators, Anderson insulators, quantum Hall insulators, Chern and topological insulators

description: We have studied the large scale distribution of matter in the Chandra Deep Field South on the basis of photometric redshifts and we have identifed several over-densities between redshift 0.6 and 2.3. We analyse two of these structures using the deepest X-ray observations ever obtained: 4 Ms with the Chandra satellite and 2.5 Ms with XMM-Newton. We set a very faint upper limit on the X-ray luminosity of a structure at redshift 1.6, and we find an extended X-ray emission from a structure at redshift 0.96 of which we can estimate the gas temperature and make a comparison with the scaling relations between the X-ray luminosity and mass or temperature of high redshift galaxy clusters.

description: The basic properties of the candidate binary cluster population in the Magellanic Clouds and Galaxy are similar. The fraction of candidate binary systems is $\sim$10% and the pair separation histogram exhibits a bimodal distribution commonly attributed to their transient nature. However, if primordial pairs cannot survive for long as recognizable bound systems, how are they ending up? Here, we use simulations to confirm that merging, extreme tidal distortion and ionization are possible depending on the initial orbital elements and mass ratio of the pair. The nature of the dominant evolutionary path largely depends on the strength of the local tidal field. Merging is observed for initially close primordial binary clusters but also for wider pairs in nearly parabolic orbits. Its characteristic timescale depends on the initial orbital semi-major axis, eccentricity, and cluster pair mass ratio, becoming shorter for closer, more eccentric equal mass pairs. Shredding or extreme tidal distortion of the less massive cluster and subsequent separation is observed in all pairs with appreciably different masses. Wide pairs steadily evolve into the separated twins state characterized by the presence of tidal bridges and separations of 200-500 pc after one Galactic orbit. In the Galaxy, the vast majority of observed binary candidates appear to be following this evolutionary path which translates into the dominant peak (25-30 pc) in the pair separation distribution. The secondary peak at smaller separations (10-15 pc) can be explained as due to close pairs in almost circular orbits and/or undergoing merging. Merged clusters exhibit both peculiar radial density and velocity dispersion profiles shaped by synchronization and gravogyro instabilities. Both simulations and observations show that, for the range of parameters studied here, long term binary cluster stability in the Galactic disk is unlikely.

description: Partial ionization cross section experiments have been carried out recently at the University of Innsbruck for three types of hydrocarbons, i.e. acetylene, ethylene and propene. Cross section data fits are generated and compared to the compilation of earlier experimental data summarized in the online database HYDKIN [www.hydkin.de]. New data fits are brought into a suitable form to be incorporated into the database. In order to illuminate underlying dissociation mechanisms the energy dependence of branching ratios above energies of 20 - 30eV is reviewed in light of the present results. This is a pre-peer reviewed version which has been submitted to Contributions to Plasma Physics.

description: The three-dimensional Abelian Chern-Simons theory coupled to a scalar and a fermionic field of arbitrary charge is considered in order to study conformal symmetry breakdown and the effective potential stability. We present an improved effective potential computation based on two-loop calculations and the renormalization group equation: the later allows us to sum up series of terms in the effective potential where the power of the logarithms are one, two and three units smaller than the total power of coupling constants (i.e., leading, next-to-leading and next-to-next-to-leading logarithms). For the sake of this calculation we determined the beta function of the fermion-fermion-scalar-scalar interaction and the anomalous dimension of the scalar field. We shown that the improved effective potential provides a much more precise determination of the properties of the theory in the broken phase, compared to the standard effective potential obtained directly from the loop calculations. This happens because the region of the parameter space where dynamical symmetry breaking occurs is drastically reduced by the improvement discussed here.

description: Diese Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit dem Phänomen der Jenseitsreise als literarischem Topos und arbeitet seine gesellschaftliche Relevanz und Genealogie von der Antike bis in die Jetztzeit heraus. Anhand der Betrachtung von Neil Gaimans Sandman wird sich die Frage gestellt, wie die Jenseitsreise als solcher Topos auch in der literarischen Moderne nicht an Relevanz verlieren konnte, sondern durch Prozesse geschickter Transformationen seiner sich durch die Jahrhunderte ziehender wesentlicher Facetten auch für die heutigen Leser*innen nicht an Faszination verliert. Dabei wird nicht nur ein besonderes Augenmerk auf die intermedialen Transformationsprozesse gelegt, sondern auch auf die Funktionalität, welche die Jenseitsreise im gesamtgesellschaftlichen Konzept für die Leser*innen einnimmt.
description: This thesis deals with the phenomenon of the journey to the beyond as a literary topos and explores its social relevance and genealogy from antiquity to the present day. By examining Neil Gaiman's Sandman, the question is posed as to how the afterlife journey as a topos could not lose its relevance even in literary modernity, but rather, through processes of skillful transformations of its essential facets which are shown throughout the centuries, not lose its fascination even for today's readers. Special attention will be paid not only to the intermedial transformation processes, but also to the functionality that the journey to the beyond assumes for readers in the overall concept of society.

description: ZnO nanoparticles with Wurtzite structure were prepared by chemical methods at low temperature in aqueous solution. Nanoparticles are in the range from about 10 to 30 nm. Ferromagnetic properties were observed from 2 K to room temperature and above. Magnetization vs temperature, M(T) and isothermal measurements M(H) were determined. The coercive field clearly shows ferromagnetism above room temperature. The chemical synthesis, structural defects in the bulk related to oxygen vacancies are the main factors for the observed magnetic behavior.

description: This report outlines the approach to evaluating the five Transformative Experiments (TEs) carried out within the framework of the TeRRItoria project. By bringing together a wide range of stakeholders in the development and implementation of five different TEs in four regions and one municipality, the project intends to address and mitigate territorial Research and Innovation (R&I) challenges through the advancement of “Territorial RRI” (TeRRItoria 2019). Overall, the internal evaluation of activities is designed to assess the implementation of TE actions/initiatives and their impacts produced throughout the project and use this knowledge to ensure long-term sustainability of the experimental activities commenced. The evaluation task comprises two distinct types of evaluations:
 1.A process evaluation (formative evaluation, inspired by the deliberative democratic evaluation perspective), which is an ongoing evaluation for internal learning throughout the project. The process evaluation focuses on identifying enablers and barriers – as well as solutions to the latter – in the implementation phase of the different TEs. The process evaluation is carried out with the intension to assist the territorial partners in their efforts to secure a timely and successful implementation of TE actions and initiatives.
 2.An impact assessment (summative evaluation, application of “theory-based evaluation”), which takes place towards the end of the project. This evaluation will assess the impacts of the TEs in terms of whether – and to which extent – expected changes have taken place, and provide knowledge about experimental actions in relation to ‘what works, for whom does it work, and in which circumstances does it work?’ The evaluation scheme presented in this report outlines a proposal for securing and collecting the data needed for analysis in the two evaluation tasks. Finally, the report includes a set of preliminary indicators intended for inspiration in the co-creation process of determining context specific success criteria/strategic priorities.
