description: We consider a nanoelectromechanical Josephson junction, where a suspended nanowire serves as a superconducting weak link, and show that an applied DC bias voltage an result in suppression of the flexural vibrations of the wire. This cooling effect is achieved through the transfer of vibronic energy quanta first to voltage driven Andreev states and then to extended quasiparticle electronic states. Our analysis, which is performed for a nanowire in the form of a metallic carbon nanotube and in the framework of the density matrix formalism, shows that such self-cooling is possible down to a level where the average occupation number of the lowest flexural vibration mode of the nanowire is $\sim 0.1$.

description: In this article, the minimum distance of the dual $C^{\bot}$ of a functional code $C$ on an arbitrary dimensional variety $X$ over a finite field $\F_q$ is studied. The approach consists in finding minimal configurations of points on $X$ which are not in "general position". If $X$ is a curve, the result improves in some situations the well-known Goppa designed distance.

description: We present a neutron scattering investigation of Ce1-xYxAl3 as a function of chemical pressure, which induces a transition from heavy-fermion behavior in CeAl3 (TK=5 K) to a mixed-valence state at x=0.5 (TK=150 K). The crossover can be modeled accurately on an absolute intensity scale by an increase in the k-f hybridization, Vkf, within the Anderson impurity model. Surprisingly, the principal effect of the increasing Vkf is not to broaden the low-energy components of the dynamic magnetic susceptibility but to transfer spectral weight to high energy.

description: Using our new numerical-relativity code SACRA, long-term simulations for inspiral and merger of black hole (BH)-neutron star (NS) binaries are performed, focusing particularly on gravitational waveforms. As the initial conditions, BH-NS binaries in a quasiequilibrium state are prepared in a modified version of the moving-puncture approach. The BH is modeled by a nonspinning moving puncture and for the NS, a polytropic equation of state with $Γ=2$ and the irrotational velocity field are employed. The mass ratio of the BH to the NS, $Q=M_{\rm BH}/M_{\rm NS}$, is chosen in the range between 1.5 and 5. The compactness of the NS, defined by ${\cal C}=GM_{\rm NS}/c^2R_{\rm NS}$, is chosen to be between 0.145 and 0.178. For a large value of $Q$ for which the NS is not tidally disrupted and is simply swallowed by the BH, gravitational waves are characterized by inspiral, merger, and ringdown waveforms. In this case, the waveforms are qualitatively the same as that from BH-BH binaries. For a sufficiently small value of $Q \alt 2$, the NS may be tidally disrupted before it is swallowed by the BH. In this case, the amplitude of the merger and ringdown waveforms is very low, and thus, gravitational waves are characterized by the inspiral waveform and subsequent quick damping. The difference in the merger and ringdown waveforms is clearly reflected in the spectrum shape and in the "cut-off" frequency above which the spectrum amplitude steeply decreases. When an NS is not tidally disrupted (e.g., for Q=5), kick velocity, induced by asymmetric gravitational wave emission, agrees approximately with that derived for the merger of BH-BH binaries, whereas for the case that the tidal disruption occurs, the kick velocity is significantly suppressed.

Biosynthetic studies on the p-benzoquinones produced by Shanorella Spirotricha Benjamin
Creators: name: Wat, Chi-Kit
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: From the culture medium of Shanorella spirotricha Benjamin, four p-benzoquinones have been isolated and identified. The major pigment is shanorellin (2,6-dimethyl-3-hydroxymethyl-5-hydroxy-1,4-benzoquinone). The other three pigments are the acetate, the ethyl ether and the dimer of shanorellin. Shanorellin was found to be synthesized via the acetate-polymalonate pathway by tracer experiments with ¹⁴C-labelled compounds and by chemical degradation of the labelled shanorellin produced. A study was made of the optimal conditions required for the production of these benzoqulnones. Significant factors were pH, temperature and sources of nitrogen and vitamins of the nutrient medium.

description: Recent studies have pointed out the importance of transient synchronization between widely distributed neural assemblies to understand conscious perception. These neural assemblies form intricate networks of neurons and synapses whose detailed map for mammals is still unknown and far from our experimental capabilities. Only in a few cases, for example the C. elegans, we know the complete mapping of the neuronal tissue or its mesoscopic level of description provided by cortical areas. Here we study the process of transient and global synchronization using a simple model of phase-coupled oscillators assigned to cortical areas in the cerebral cat cortex. Our results highlight the impact of the topological connectivity in the developing of synchronization, revealing a transition in the synchronization organization that goes from a modular decentralized coherence to a centralized synchronized regime controlled by a few cortical areas forming a Rich-Club connectivity pattern.

description: We present Sunyaev-Zel'dovich measurements of 15 massive X-ray selected galaxy clusters obtained with the South Pole Telescope. The Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) cluster signals are measured at 150 GHz, and concurrent 220 GHz data are used to reduce astrophysical contamination. Radial profiles are computed using a technique that takes into account the effects of the beams and filtering. In several clusters, significant SZ decrements are detected out to a substantial fraction of the virial radius. The profiles are fit to the beta model and to a generalized NFW pressure profile, and are scaled and stacked to probe their average behavior. We find model parameters that are consistent with previous studies: beta=0.86 and r_core/r_500 = 0.20 for the beta model, and (alpha, beta, gamma, c_500)=(1.0,5.5,0.5,1.0) for the generalized NFW model. Both models fit the SPT data comparably well, and both are consistent with the average SZ profile out to the virial radius. The integrated Compton-y parameter Y_SZ is computed for each cluster using both model-dependent and model-independent techniques, and the results are compared to X-ray estimates of cluster parameters. We find that Y_SZ scales with Y_X and gas mass with low scatter. Since these observables have been found to scale with total mass, our results point to a tight mass-observable relation for the SPT cluster survey.

description: We consider the persistence phenomenon in advectecd passive scalar equation in 1-dimension. The velocity field is random with the $ \sim |k|^{-(2+α)}$. In presence of the non-linearity the complete Green's function becomes $G^{-1}=-iω+Dk^2+Σ$. We determine $Σ$ self-consistently from the correlation function which gives $Σ\sim k^β$, with $β=(1-α)/2$. The effect of the non-linear term in the equation in the $\mathcal{O}(ε^2)$ is to replace the diffusion term due to molecular viscosity by an effective term of the form $Σ_0 k^β$. The stationary correlator for this system is $[\mathrm{Sech}(T/2)]^{1/β}$. Using the self-consistent theory we have determined the relation between $β$ and $α$. Finally, IIA is used to determine the persistent exponent.

Pakistan Topic Brief: Providing Distance Learning to Hard-to-reach Children

Year: 2020

description: The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in mass school closures across the world. It is expected that the closures in low- and -middle-income countries (LMICs) will have long-term negative consequences on education and also on broader development outcomes. Countries face a number of obstacles to effectively delivering alternative forms of education. Obstacles include limited experience in facing such challenges, limited teacher digital and pedagogical capacity, and infrastructure constraints related to power and connectivity. Furthermore, inequalities in learning outcomes are expected to widen within LMICs due to the challenges of implementing alternative modes of education in remote, rural or marginalised communities. It is expected that the most marginalised children will feel the most substantial negative impacts on their learning outcomes. Educational technology (EdTech) has been identified as a possible solution to address the acute impact of school closures through its potential to provide distance education. In this light, the DFID Pakistan team requested the EdTech Hub develop a topic brief exploring the use of EdTech to support distance learning in Pakistan. Specifically, the team requested the brief explore ways to provide distance education to children in remote rural areas and urban slums. The DFID team also requested that the EdTech Hub explore the different needs of those who have previously been to school in comparison to those who have never enrolled, with reference to EdTech solutions. In order to address these questions, this brief begins with an overview of the Pakistan education landscape. The second section of the brief explores how four modes of alternative education — TV, interactive radio instruction, mobile phones and online learning — can be used to provide alternative education to marginalised groups in Pakistan. Multimodal distance-learning approaches offer the best means of providing education to heterogeneous, hard-to-reach groups. Identifying various tools that can be deployed to meet the needs of specific population segments is an important part of developing a robust distance-learning approach. With this in mind, this section highlights examples of tools that could be used in Pakistan to support a multimodal approach that reaches the most hard-to-reach learners. The third and final section synthesises the article's findings, presenting recommendations to inform Pakistan's COVID-19 education response.

description: In this study, water extract of Sapindus mukorossi Gaertn. pericarps against Candida albicans was evaluated through in vitro and in vivo studies. The most abundant active ingredient was triterpenoid saponins determined by UPLC-TOF-MS analysis. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) was 0.039 mg/mL by using agar double dilution methods. The percentage of inhibition was 93.07% when C. albicans was treated for 4 h using a 1 mg/mL in vitro dose. A vaginitis model was developed by infecting mice with C. albicans. The fungal burden was tracked, which indicated that 10 mg/mL triterpenoid saponins reduced fungal quantity ranging from 3.0 to 1.84 Log CFU/100 μL. Moreover, the subsequent studies regarding four biomarkers with an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay were conducted. It was confirmed that interleukin IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) were lower than untreated group, and vaginal pathology was significantly improved in tissue sections.

description: We use the annealed formulation of complex networks to study the dynamical behavior of disease spreading on both static and adaptive networked systems. This unifying approach relies on the annealed adjacency matrix, representing one network ensemble, and allows to solve the dynamical evolution of the whole network ensemble all at once. Our results accurately reproduce those obtained by extensive numerical simulations showing a large improvement with respect to the usual heterogeneous mean-field formulation. Moreover, by means of the annealed formulation we derive a new heterogeneous mean-field formulation that correctly reproduces the epidemic dynamics.

description: The rare top quark couplings $tu_iγ$ and $tu_iγγ$ ($u_i=u,c$) induced at the one-loop level by a flavor violating $tu_iH$ vertex are studied within the context of an effective Yukawa sector that incorporates $SU_L(2)\times U_Y(1)$-invariant operators of up to dimension six. Data on the recently observed $D^0-\overline{D^0}$ mixing are employed to constrain the $tu_iH$ vertex, which is then used to predict the $t\to u_iH$, $t\to u_iγ$, and $t\to u_iγγ$ decays, as well as the $γγ\to \bar{t}u_i+t\bar{u}_i$ reaction in the context of the ILC. It is found that the $t\to cH$ and $t\to cγγ$ decays can reach sizable branching ratios as high as $5\times 10^{-3}$ and $10^{-4}$, respectively. As for the $t\to cγ$ decay, it can have a branching ratio of $5\times 10^{-8}$ that is about 6 orders of magnitude larger than the standard model prediction, which, however, is still very small to be detected. As for $tc$ production, it is found that, due to the presence of a resonant effect in the convoluted cross section $σ(e^+e^-\to γγ\to t\bar{c}+\bar{t}c)$, about $(0.5 - 2.7)\times 10^{3}$ $tc$ events may be produced at the ILC for a value of the Higgs mass near to the top mass.

description: We report on the X-ray observation of the Seyfert 1 ESO323-G077 performed with XMM-Newton. The spectra show a complex spectrum with conspicuous absorption and emission features. The continuum emission can be modelled with a power law with an index of 1.99+/-0.02 in the whole XMM-Newton energy band, marginally consistent with typical values of Type-I objects. An absorption component with an uncommonly high equivalent Hydrogen column, n_H=5.82(+0.12/-0.11)x10^22 cm-2, is affecting the soft part of the spectrum. Additionally, two warm absorption components are also present. The lower ionised one has an ionisation parameter of Log(U)=2.14(+0.06/-0.07) and an outflowing velocity of v=3200(+600/-200) km/s. Two absorption lines located at ~6.7 and ~7.0 keV can be modelled with the highly ionised absorber. The ionisation parameter and outflowing velocity of the gas measured are Log(U)=3.26(+0.19/-0.15) and v=1700(+600/-400) km/s, respectively. Four emission lines were also detected in the soft energy band. The most likely explanation for these emission lines is that they are associated with an outflowing gas with a velocity of ~2000 km/s. The data suggest that the same gas which is causing the absorption could also being responsible of these emission features. Finally, the spectrum shows the presence of a relativistic iron emission line likely originated in the accretion disc of a Kerr BH with an inclination of ~25 deg. We propose a model to explain the observed X-ray properties which invokes the presence of a two-phase outflow with cone-like structure and a velocity of the order of 2,000-4,000 km/s. The inner layer of the cone would be less ionised, or even neutral, than the outer layer. The inclination angle would be lower than the opening angle of the outflowing cone.

description: We propose a way for realizing a two-qubit controlled phase gate with superconducting quantum interference devices (SQUIDs) coupled to a superconducting resonator. In this proposal, the two lowest levels of each SQUID serve as the logical states and two intermediate levels of each SQUID are used for the gate realization. We show that neither adjustment of SQUID level spacings during the gate operation nor uniformity in SQUID parameters is required by this proposal. In addition, this proposal does not require the adiabatic passage or a second-order detuning and thus the gate is much faster.

Response rate as a function of shock-food association and shock-response contingency
Creators: name: Philipchalk, Ronald Peter
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The present study examined the following two hypotheses: (a) shock which has been associated with food will reduce responding less than shock which has not been associated with food: (b) response-contingent shock will reduce responding more than response-noncontingent shock. Response rates and the number of reinforcements received in Punishment training, and response rates in Punishment-Extinction training were examined for the following five groups: (a) shock and pellet for the same response (Pun-Rft Group): (b) shock and food for different responses (Pun Group): (c) response-noncontingent shock delivered automatically as response-contingent food becomes available for the next response (Shock-SD Group): (d) response-noncontingent shock delivered automatically independent of the availability of reinforcement (NC-Shock Group): (e) no shock (Control Group). The results indicated that (a) response-contingent and response-noncontingent shock reduced responding equally in Punishment training, and that (b) following Punishment-training, response-contingent shock reduced responding in Punishment-Extinction training whereas response-noncontingent shock had no effect on rate of responding in Punishment-Extinction training. The results also indicated that shock which had been associated with food had the same overall effect on response rates as shock which had not been associated with food. The relevance of these results to the discriminative and conditioned reinforcing functions of shock was discussed.

description: We construct an anisotropic Weyl invariant theory in the ADM formalism and discuss its cosmological consequences. It extends the original anisotropic Weyl invariance of Hořava-Lifshitz gravity using an extra scalar field. The action is invariant under the anisotropic transformations of the space and time metric components with an arbitrary value of the critical exponent $z$. One of the interesting features is that the cosmological constant term maintains the anisotropic symmetry for $z=-3$. We also include the ordinary matter and show that it can preserve the anisotropic Weylinvariance if the equation of state satisfies $P_m= zρ_m/3$. Then, we study cosmology of the Einstein-Hilbert-anisotropic Weyl (EHaW) action including the ordinary matter both with or without anisotropic Weyl invariance. The correlation of the critical exponent $z$ and the equation of state parameter $ω_m$ provides a new perspective of the cosmology. It is also shown that for particular value of $z=-3$, the EHaW action admits a late time accelerating universe.

In the limit where the rung exchange is dominant, we have mapped the model onto the effective quantum sine-Gordon model with topological term and identified two quantum phase transitions at magnetization equal to the half of saturation value from a gapped to the gapless regime. These quantum transitions belong to the universality class of the commensurate-incommensurate phase transition. We have also shown that the magnetization curve of the system exhibits a plateau at magnetization equal to the half of the saturation value. We also present a detailed numerical analysis of the low energy excitation spectrum and the ground state magnetic phase diagram of the ladder with rung-exchange alternation using Lanczos method of numerical diagonalizations for ladders with number of sites up to N=28. We have calculated numerically the magnetic field dependence of the low-energy excitation spectrum, magnetization and the on-rung spin-spin correlation function. We have also calculated the width of the magnetization plateau and show that it scales as $δ^ν$, where critical exponent varies from $ν=0.87\pm0.01$ in the case of a ladder with isotropic antiferromagnetic legs to $ν=1.82\pm0.01 $ in the case of ladder with ferromagnetic legs. Obtained numerical results are in an complete agreement with estimations made within the continuum-limit approach.

description: We study a functional equation whose unknown maps a Euclidean space into the space of probability distributions on [0,1]. We prove existence and uniqueness of its solution under suitable regularity and boundary conditions, we show that it depends continuously on the boundary datum, and we characterize solutions that are diffuse on [0,1]. A canonical solution is obtained by means of a Randomly Reinforced Urn with different reinforcement distributions having equal means. The general solution to the functional equation defines a new parametric collection of distributions on [0,1] generalizing the Beta family.

description: I present a previously unpublished method for modeling multiple lens microlensing events that is based on the image centered ray shooting approach of Bennett and Rhie. It has been used to model all a wide variety of binary and triple lens systems, but it is designed to efficiently model high-magnification planetary microlensing events, because these are, by far, the most challenging events to model. It is designed to be efficient enough to handle microlensing events with more than two lens masses and lens orbital motion. This method uses a polar coordinate integration grid with a smaller grid spacing in the radial direction than in the angular direction, and it employs an integration scheme specifically designed to handle limb darkened sources. I present tests that show that these features achieve second order accuracy for the light curves of a number of high-magnification planetary events. They improve the precision of the calculations by a factor of >100 compared to first order integration schemes with the same grid spacing in both directions (for a fixed number of grid points). This method also includes a Metropolis algorithm chi^2 minimization method that allows the jump function to vary in a way that allows quick convergence to chi^2 minima. Finally, I introduce a global parameter space search strategy that allows a blind search of parameter space for light curve models without requiring chi^2 minimization over a large grid of fixed parameters. Instead, the parameter space is explored on a grid of initial conditions for a set of chi^2 minimizations using the full parameter space. While this method may be faster than methods that find the chi^2 minima over a large grid of parameters, I argue that the main strength of this method is for events with the signals of multiple planets, where a much higher dimensional parameter space must be explored to find the correct light curve model.

description: Abstract

The term critical theory is used in the humanities and social sciences to refer to an intellectual evaluation and criticism of society and culture, and theory becomes critical, according to Max Horkheimer, insofar as it seeks to liberate human beings from the conditions that enslave them. This study aimed to identify the critical theory that took on an intellectual character derived from revolutionary Marxist ideas and moved to advanced ideas during the era of Max Horkheimer by denouncing bourgeois consumerist capitalist culture, and focusing attention on Habermas’s contributions to it. The study revealed that critical theory aims to change society at all levels and levels, achieve human liberation, reconcile theory and practice, combine knowledge and purpose, reconcile theoretical reason and practical reason, and combine truth and value, and that critical theory is a critical renewal of theories. Marxism and radicalism. Critical theory also aimed to enlighten the committed human being mentally and intellectually and change him positively, after freeing him from his own pressures, by criticizing society by stripping it ideologically.
Coherent and incoherent contents of correlations

description: We examine bipartite and multipartite correlations within the construct of unitary orbits. We show that the set of product states is a very small subset of set of all possible states, while all unitary orbits contain classically correlated states. Using this we give meaning to degeneration of quantum correlations due to a unitary interactions, which we call coherent correlations. The remaining classical correlations are called incoherent correlations and quantified in terms of the distance of the joint probability distributions to its marginals. Finally, we look at how entanglement looks in this picture for the two-qubit case.

description: We evaluate the place of Eta Carinae amongst the class of luminous blue variables (LBVs) and show that the LBV phenomenon is not restricted to extremely luminous objects like Eta Car, but extends luminosities as low as log(L/Lsun) = 5.4 - corresponding to initial masses ~25 Msun, and final masses as low as ~10-15 Msun. We present a census of S Doradus variability, and discuss basic LBV properties, their mass-loss behaviour, and whether at maximum light they form pseudo-photospheres. We argue that those objects that exhibit giant Eta Car-type eruptions are most likely related to the more common type of S Doradus variability. Alternative atmospheric models as well as sub-photospheric models for the instability are presented, but the true nature of the LBV phenomenon remains as yet elusive. We end with a discussion on the evolutionary status of LBVs - highlighting recent indications that some LBVs may be in a direct pre-supernova state, in contradiction to the standard paradigm for massive star evolution.

Hyperaccreting Disks around Magnetars for Gamma-Ray Bursts: Effects of Strong Magnetic Fields
Creators: name: Zhang, Dong

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2009
Subjects: subject: High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena (astro-ph.HE)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: (Abridged) The hyperaccreting neutron star or magnetar disks cooled via neutrino emission can be a candidate of gamma-ray burst (GRB) central engines. The strong field $\geq10^{15}-10^{16}$ G of the magnetar can play a significant role in affecting the disk properties and even lead to the funnel accretion process. We investigate the effects of strong fields on the disks around magnetars, and discuss implications of such accreting magnetar systems for GRB and GRB-like events. We discuss quantum effects of the strong fields on the disk, and use the MHD conservation equations to describe the behavior of the disk flow coupled with a large scale field, which is generated by the star-disk interaction. In general, stronger fields give higher disk densities, pressures, temperatures and neutrino luminosity, and change the electron fraction and degeneracy state significantly. A magnetized disk is always viscously stable outside the Alfvén radius, but will be thermally unstable near the Alfvén radius where the magnetic field plays a more important role in transferring the angular momentum and heating the disk than the viscous stress. The funnel accretion process will be only important for an extremely strong field, which creates a magnetosphere inside the Alfvén radius and truncates the plane disk. Because of higher temperature and more concentrated neutrino emission of the magnetar surface ring-like belt region covered by funnel accretion, the neutrino annihilation rate from the accreting magnetars can be much higher than that from accreting neutron stars without fields. Furthermore, the neutrino annihilation mechanism and the magnetically-driven pulsar wind from the magnetar surface can work together to generate and feed an ultra-relativistic jet along the stellar magnetic poles.

description: In this work we study the essential spectra of composition operators on Hardy spaces of analytic functions which might be termed as "quasi-parabolic". This is the class of composition operators on H^{2} with symbols whose conjugate with the Cayley transform on the upper half-plane are of the form ϕ(z) = z+ψ(z) where ψ\in H^{2}(\mathbb{H}) and \Im(ψ(z)) >δ> 0. We especially examine the case where ψis discontinuous at infinity. A new method is devised to show that this type of composition operators fall in a C*-algebra of Toeplitz operators and Fourier multipliers. This method enables us to provide new examples of essentially normal composition operators and to calculate their essential spectra.

description: We present a particularly nice Binet-style formula that can be used to produce the k-generalized Fibonacci numbers (that is, the Tribonaccis, Tetranaccis, etc). Furthermore, we show that in fact one needs only take the integer closest to the first term of this Binet-style formula to generate the desired sequence. These results were also found (independently) at about the same time by Zhaohui Du of Singapore, China. We are working on a joint paper.
